A Game for Everyone: I'm Using Different Flames to Play Overload!

Like Xiao Aotian's "Flame Dividing Wave Ruler", "Thousand Swords Manifesting Dragon" has also become Yi Qingyang's signature fighting technique!

"Flame Dividing Wave Ruler" is a medium-range, unidirectional burst combat technique.

The damage from "A Thousand Swords Appear" is continuous.

Both being low-level Earth-rank combat skills, "Thousand Swords Manifest Dragon" has a significantly higher total damage output than "Flame Dividing Wave Ruler"!

However, for a five-star Dou Zun with five-colored characters, even with the enhancement of Radiant Black Gold, the power of "Thousand Swords Manifest Dragon" was still somewhat insufficient.

Although the less than 10% of the immense power of heaven and earth within the Radiant Gold can ignore realm suppression, most of the damage will be weakened by 40% in front of the Ice River Venerable.

The Ice River Venerable directly conjured an ice wall with his right hand, allowing thousands of golden flying swords to crash into it, and then struck out with his left hand.

This is the unique fighting technique of the Ice Valley - "Ice Venerable Force"!

As a mid-level Earth-rank combat skill, "Ice Venerable Force" possesses both near-instantaneous ranged qi and close-range explosive qi attacks. The frost power contained within can slow down the opponent's movements and even their battle qi.

"Wasn't it Yi Qingyang who made the move? Why is he attacking me?"

Seeing the approaching frost-like battle aura, Xiao Aotian snorted coldly and roared:

"Six Harmonies Swimming Body Ruler!"

A mid-level Earth-rank combat skill, right?

It's like nobody doesn't have one!

The cultivation of the "Six Harmonies Wandering Ruler" in the game is almost identical to that in the original novel; both require cultivation in lava.

It is said that Xiao Aotian suffered a lot in order to learn this fighting technique, and even burned several pairs of his pants!

This news was revealed by Li Batian, a core member of the Tianyan Alliance, during a drinking session with Chao Bafang, Zhu Tianpeng, Lucky Poison Hand, and others.

The authenticity should be quite high.

I wonder if my pants are burned and if that area hurts.

However, the power of the "Six Harmonies Swimming Ruler" was worthy of Xiao Aotian's hard training.

Once mastered, one can move through lava unscathed, without using any fighting spirit, simply by wielding the giant ruler and coordinating with footwork, without getting a single drop of lava on one's skin.

The Fallen Heart Flame covered the giant ruler. As a strange fire, it was naturally extremely effective against frost battle qi!

It's a pity that Xiao Aotian's Fallen Heart Flame hadn't yet been nurtured to the Dou Zun level.

If it were a Dou Zun level, even if Xiao Aotian was only a one-star Dou Zun, Binghe Venerable's frost Dou Qi would be suppressed to the point that he couldn't lift his head.

Now, thanks to the Fallen Heart Flame, Xiao Aotian can still resist the negative effects of the Frost Battle Qi.

The giant ruler swung out, leaving behind numerous afterimages, completely evaporating the icy battle aura.

Xiao Aotian once again hoisted the giant ruler onto his shoulder and raised his chin:

"Oh! Senior, your battle aura isn't very strong!"

Yi Qingyang, hovering above, shook his head helplessly.

"I knew he would show off."

"Arrogant brat, today I will teach you a lesson you will never forget."

Ice River Venerable no longer used the Ice Venerable Force, and simply leaped forward to fight Xiao Aotian in close combat!

Apart from the "Six Harmonies Fire" move, all of the moves in "Six Harmonies Wandering Body Ruler" are close-combat techniques, and Xiao Aotian is fearless.

Ice River Venerable's palms moved in rapid succession, and Xiao Aotian was surrounded by countless shadows, leaving Ice River Venerable no opening whatsoever.

But the problem is

Xiao Aotian's protective energy kept decreasing!

And it falls very quickly.

The power of heaven and earth can ignore the suppression of realm, but Xiao Aotian's power of heaven and earth is less than 10% of that in the Fallen Heart Flame.

Xiao Aotian has excellent gaming talent, and he is indeed very hardworking and willing to put in the effort to hone his skills and research.

One day in real life equals five days in the game.

Xiao Aotian has spent at least fifteen years in Battle Through the Heavens.

His combat skills have been honed to a very high level.

Apart from Yang Shan, among the top fifty on the combat power ranking, no one dares to say that their actual combat ability is significantly superior to Xiao Aotian's.

The reason why Yang Shan is not included is...

This guy's actual experience in the game has exceeded thirty years!

Moreover, Yang Shan was a player who relied on skill in his previous life!

He relied on his own skills to maximize his average combat abilities, average equipment, and barely adequate level, thus entering the ranks of top-tier players.

The key point is that Yang Shan not only uses skills, but he also uses tricks!

With thirty years of experience, Yang Shan can immediately come up with two or three practical and effective strategies in almost any situation, and he has enough skills to support the execution of these strategies.

Yang Shan's combat skills are truly unparalleled!

However, without Yang Shanlai as a comparison, Xiao Aotian's figure is undoubtedly awe-inspiring.

The viewers in the live stream were completely mesmerized.

"Holy crap! A 300-pound ruler swung that fast?"

"It's not just random swinging. Look, even when the Ice River Venerable attacks with both hands, he can block it!"

"I remember Xiao Aotian also shared a technique about using the giant ruler. It seems to mention that the advantage of using the giant ruler for defense is that it has a large defensive area, which can largely make up for the lack of swing speed."

"Holy crap, I feel like Xiao Aotian has improved so much? I don't quite understand his close combat skills, but they just look so awesome."

"Xiao Aotian was rarely seen in the later stages of the previous version. This is the first time he has been on camera since breaking through to Dou Zun. He must have been practicing his skills for so long."

"It's a pity. Bai Xiaosheng has posted a lot of practical strategy posts and video analyses from top players. But Bai Xiaosheng's final conclusion is that this thing is like the martial arts routines in martial arts novels. Top players have their own set or even several sets of basic practical logic. Even if you imitate it, you can't be the same as those top players."

"In the words of fantasy novels, top players should have already found their own 'path'!"

"I don't know why you're all talking about something so mysterious. Look at Xiao Aotian, whom you've been praising to the skies, how much protective energy does he have left now!"

"You know nothing! A five-star Dou Zun suppresses a one-star Dou Zun by 40% of his cultivation level! He was already at a disadvantage, so the fact that he could keep dodging and parrying is already an incredibly impressive feat! If Xiao Aotian's combat skills were even slightly lacking, his protective shield would have been shattered long ago!"

The layman looks at the excitement and the insider looks at the doorway.

Indeed, a small number of players noticed Xiao Aotian's current predicament.

In the ongoing close combat, Xiao Aotian was ultimately unable to overcome this 40% realm suppression.

The Ice River Venerable's protective energy was only depleted by 10,000 points at most, but Xiao Aotian had already lost at least 100,000 points.

If this fight continues, it won't be long before this protective aura breaks.

"Hey dandruff bro, hurry up and get this over with!"

Xiao Aotian gritted his teeth and struggled to hold on:

"Is it really that slow to use a powerful move?"

Just then, thirty-six golden giant swords, each ten feet long, fell from the sky and stopped ten feet away from Xiao Aotian and Ice River Venerable.

Nine greatswords are arranged in parallel, forming a circle.

Four greatswords are arranged vertically in each row.

From a distance, it looked as if a cage had been created using a giant sword.

The Ice River Venerable, who was originally preparing to break through Xiao Aotian's protective aura in one fell swoop, had to stop, giving Xiao Aotian a chance to catch his breath. He quickly activated his movement technique to create distance.

Yi Qingyang said in a deep voice:

"Brother Xiao, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting! Leave the rest to me!"

Xiao Aotian shook his slightly numb hand and complained:

"I wish I could really give it to you!"

Yi Qingyang smiled wryly: "With a formidable enemy at hand, Brother Xiao, there's no need to undermine me."

Xiao Aotian: "It's even stronger than we planned. Hang in there, keep going!"

Yi Qingyang: "I will certainly live up to Brother Xiao's expectations!"

The main reason Yi Qingyang invited Xiao Aotian after receiving the information was because the Ice River Venerable was simply too powerful!

The Five-Star Dipper with its five-colored characters is not something that Shu Xian Lou alone can handle.

If we can cooperate with the Tianyan Alliance, we can secure a two-on-one opportunity.

Therefore, the actual combat power displayed by Yi Qingyang and Xiao Aotian is not simply 1+1=2.

Because it's a one-on-one situation, you need to be constantly aware of switching between offense and defense.

If the pressure from the Ice River Venerable is too great, neither Yi Qingyang nor Xiao Aotian may even have the chance to use a low-level Earth-rank fighting technique.

However, both Yi Qingyang and Xiao Aotian believed they were capable of fighting against the Ice River Venerable.

There is no attribute interaction between fire and metal.

Moreover, Xiao Aotian and Yi Qingyang could not possibly practice together as often as Yang Shan and Su Yitang, or Chao Bafang and Zhu Tianpeng.

Therefore, the strategy of using a war of attrition became the simplest and most effective method.

They take turns dealing with Ice River Venerable, giving the other person enough breathing room to unleash a combat technique that requires a long activation time.

In a one-on-one fight, neither of them can unleash their ultimate move.

In a two-on-one situation, either of them could unleash their ultimate move.

Therefore, the result of 1+1 could be 3 or even 4!

Just like now, Xiao Aotian exchanged most of his protective qi for 15,000 points of protective qi from Ice River Venerable, which was undoubtedly a huge loss.

But if Yi Qingyang can successfully use his ultimate move, then it's worth it!

Only attacks that would be considered ultimate moves even by top players can cause significant damage to this Ice River Venerable!

"Forging a sword from exotic metals!"

Glacier Venerable looked around, a hint of seriousness appearing on his face.

"The Soul-Slaying Sword Formation of the Myriad Swords Pavilion? I never expected that you, at such a young age, would have mastered this technique to such a high level!"

Yi Qingyang raised his left hand in a sword-finger gesture and placed it in front of his nose:

"Radiant light, nine swords slay spirits!"

At this moment, Yi Qingyang, dressed in white, truly looked like a powerful sword cultivator from the world of cultivation.

It floats in the air and can command the sword formation at will simply by gesturing with its hands.

Under Yi Qingyang's control, the thirty-six golden giant swords trembled and pointed their tips at the Ice River Venerable in the center.

Yi Qingyang pointed forward:

"cut!"

Under Yi Qingyang's command, thirty-six golden giant swords, moving at a speed exceeding that of a Dou Zun in the early stages of cultivation, pierced towards Binghe Venerable!

The blade of the golden greatsword sliced ​​through the protective aura of the Ice River Venerable, producing a metallic clang.

Then it charged forward for a hundred feet, suddenly changed direction, and thrust forward again.

Thirty-six golden giant swords moved back and forth around the Ice River Venerable.

The speed was incredibly fast; to the naked eye, it appeared as if countless golden lights suddenly appeared within an area of ​​several hundred feet in radius.

Even Liu Ruyan, protected by twelve Dou Zong, couldn't help but gasp in disbelief.

"My goodness, did you all see that? This is the highest inheritance of the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion, the Earth-rank advanced combat skill 'Soul-Slaying Sword Formation'! The special effects of this combat skill look so gorgeous. It reminds me of an action-packed dungeon game I played when I was a kid. There was a popular class called Sword Soul in it, and its awakening ultimate skill was similar to this."

A heated discussion also broke out in the comments section:

"What do you mean 'about the same'? That's a side-scrolling game, this is virtual reality, the viewing experience is incomparable!"

"I declare! The coolest core inheritance of the Four Directions Pavilion is the 'Spirit-Slaying Sword Formation'! If you disagree, you're right!"

"Excuse me, is it too late for me to switch allegiance to the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion? I thought the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion, which was just a minor character in the original story, was trash. I didn't expect it to be so awesome!"

"Luckily, I also use a sword. Here I come, Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion!"

"I have to admit that the special effects of this sword formation are amazing, but its power is not necessarily incredible."

"A high-level Earth-rank combat skill with golden lettering, if that's not awesome, what is?"

"Strength and weakness are temporary, but glory lasts a lifetime! I will abandon the spear for the sword! The Myriad Swords Pavilion is about to welcome me, the future Battle Venerable!"

"I still think Starfall Pavilion is better, not for any other reason, but mainly because Senior Sister is prettier."

"I saw Mu Qingluan and Xiao Aotian chatting and laughing just a few days ago. Do you think you can steal Xiao Tianwang's woman?"

"If Starfall Pavilion won't do, then Wind and Thunder Pavilion will surely do. Although Feng Qing'er's personality is a bit off, she's beautiful! No wonder she's a phoenix."

"Bro, are you a newbie who just joined Doupo? Don't you even know whose territory Fenglei Pavilion is now? You think you can still date Feng Qing'er? You're even more amazing than the most affectionate guy in Doupo!"

That's how it is with the guys who like to have fun; they often end up discussing things, and the topic just changes.

The main reason is that Yi Qingyang's move had really gorgeous and amazing special effects, but after the Ice River Venerable reinforced his body with another layer of ice crystal shield wall, it took Yi Qingyang's "Spirit Slaughtering Sword Formation" a long time to break it.

Even without the Ice Crystal Shield Wall, Ice Mark Venerable still has his protective aura as a defense!

This made Yi Qingyang extremely solemn.

"I really don't know how Brother Yang managed to leapfrog his level at the Dou Zun level. This suppression of realms is truly too difficult to overcome."

If Yang Shan were here, he would probably offer Yi Qingyang a few words of advice.

Who is the Ice River Master?

The leader of a top-tier power, only slightly inferior to Tang Zhen, possesses the acquired Calamity Poison Body and additional enhancements from the original NPC.

Tang Zhen was able to boost his level to Seven-Star Dou Zun using the "Three Mysterious Transformations of Heavenly Fire," so if this Ice River Venerable were to go all out, his actual combat strength should be comparable to that of a Seven-Star Dou Zun with the Five-Colored Seal.

Everyone knows that killing the Ice River Venerable will grant the same attribute rewards as killing the Yellow Spring Venerable, which will be announced to the entire server.

If he could kill, Yang Shan would have done it long ago!

If even Yi Dao Zhenjun can't do it, how can Xiao Aotian and Yi Qingyang?

You don't have the ability to know!

However, Yi Qingyang's "Soul-Slaying Sword Formation" is not over yet. As long as Yi Qingyang's battle qi can hold up, the "Soul-Slaying Sword Formation" can continue to attack indefinitely.

The ice shield previously constructed by the Ice River Venerable also consumed a considerable amount of battle qi.

At this point, Yi Qingyang could no longer retreat!
