Chapter 634: The Flaw of the Map of Mountains and Rivers

“Damn it, how could this happen!”

Sensing the powerful suction from the Map of Mountains and Rivers, Xier felt both angry and anxious.

He could only rely on his suddenly increased strength to forcefully stop his flying body and try to create distance from the Map of Mountains and Rivers.

If he couldn’t do that, the closer he got to the Map of Mountains and Rivers, the greater its suction’s influence on him.

After successfully pulling away from the Map of Mountains and Rivers and preventing its suction from affecting him,

he looked at the Map of Mountains and Rivers floating beside Yi Chen with complicated feelings.

Deep in his eyes lay a mix of fear and greed.

His offensive plan this time was actually not complicated.

He intended to use the light swords released from the crystal ball to try and destroy the Map of Mountains and Rivers.

At the very least, he hoped to force Yi Chen to withdraw the Map of Mountains and Rivers.

Without the Map of Mountains and Rivers’ suction influence, with his now greatly enhanced strength combined with the light swords’ counter, getting close to Yi Chen would not be difficult at all.

Once he got close, Yi Chen would be inescapably doomed.

What he did not expect was that the Map of Mountains and Rivers could even absorb energy attacks.

This was beyond his imagination.

Because even the Wind Moon Flower could not absorb energy attacks.

Its suction could only draw in some physical attack methods.

The power of the laws was also within its absorbing range.

But pure energy attacks were not affected by the Wind Moon Flower’s suction.

This Map of Mountains and Rivers not only had stronger suction than the Wind Moon Flower, but it also had more functions.

The only weakness seemed to be that it couldn’t move.

If he could obtain this treasure and have the elder refine it with the Wind Moon Flower, it would surely become an incredibly strong powerful treasure.

Buzz, buzz, buzz…

Just as Xier felt a headache coming on, the light swords from the crystal ball were completely consumed, absorbed entirely by the Map of Mountains and Rivers.

Yi Chen beside him was unaffected by the light swords at all.

This round of attack had completely returned empty-handed.

“Come on, let’s continue!”

Yi Chen gestured for Xier with his hand.

In this final match, he wanted to see just how high the strength of Xier, the top genius of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe five small realms above him, could explode.

Xier took a deep breath, and the bark of a towering tree appeared before him.

This tree stood hundreds of meters tall, instantly enveloping his body, and then continuously shrinking, perfectly wrapping around him.

In the blink of an eye, a piece of silver-white jade appeared before him.

As the jade stone entered his body, a new, silver defensive shield appeared outside Xier’s original shield.

With a roar,

Xier charged again at Yi Chen.

Yi Chen immediately activated the suction power of the Map of Mountains and Rivers.

As Xier drew closer, he sensed that the suction created by the Map of Mountains and Rivers was growing stronger. This time, he did not retreat but allowed the suction to intensify.

He even actively flew towards the Map of Mountains and Rivers.

He planned to take a significant risk and see if he could destroy the Map of Mountains and Rivers with his powerful attack.

Yi Chen clearly saw Xier’s intention. He did not allow Xier to get closer this time but continuously swung his immortal sword, striking at Xier.

Streams of Sword Energy slashed at Xier, but they were completely blocked by his outer defensive shield, only weakening its strength and energy.

“Destroy it!”

As Xier reached close enough, he suddenly activated his ability to forcibly boost his strength once again.

One of his branches aimed carefully and violently struck at the Map of Mountains and Rivers.

Ten meters, nine meters, eight meters…

Just as the branch was about to hit the Map of Mountains and Rivers, it moved sideways to dodge.

Despite being severely obstructed and attacking slowly, the Map of Mountains and Rivers was still able to barely evade this strike.

It even began to pull away, increasing the distance between them.

The suction also slowed down.

It seemed as if Yi Chen was afraid of Xier’s attack and no longer dared to use the suction of the Map of Mountains and Rivers to draw Xier near.

Xier, however, felt a chill in his heart.

The calm state of his emotions finally began to turn anxious and panicked.

His fourth attack had also returned empty-handed.

He always believed that the biggest weakness of the Map of Mountains and Rivers was its inability to move.

So this time he planned to let the Map of Mountains and Rivers pull him in first.

Then, relying on his forcibly enhanced strength, he would attack the moment he was pulled inside, aiming to destroy it.

But it turned out the Map of Mountains and Rivers did not have the weakness of being immobile at all.

Although its movement speed was not very fast, it was still sufficient to avoid his attack.

Even more exaggerated was that this treasure could not only move but also control the intensity of its suction.

He realized that Yi Chen had suddenly reduced the suction of the Map of Mountains and Rivers to prevent him from attempting another similar attack.

Alternatively, it was to stop him from being drawn into the internal space of the Map of Mountains and causing destruction from within.

With the ability to move and control suction,

these two functions combined meant that even if Yi Chen would not dare to pull him inside the Map of Mountains and Rivers, he could still greatly affect his speed by adjusting the suction’s intensity, thereby severely weakening his strength.

The reality confirmed his judgment.

Yi Chen continued to unleash streams of Sword Energy at him, constantly depleting his defensive shield.

At the same time, he controlled the suction of the Map of Mountains and Rivers to create trouble for Xier.

Whenever Xier tried to get closer, the suction would weaken, pulling away the distance between them.

Whenever he attempted to move away from the Map of Mountains and Rivers, the suction would increase to the extreme, affecting his speed and preventing him from dodging the streams of Sword Energy.

Even after consuming a large amount of immortal materials to boost his attributes and using the secret method to forcibly enhance his strength, his speed, attack, and reaction attributes all far surpassed Yi Chen.

Yet under the influence of the Map of Mountains and Rivers’ suction, his advantages in speed and reaction could not be utilized.

His powerful attacks became useless because he could not get close to Yi Chen and the Map of Mountains and Rivers.

On the contrary, Yi Chen was continuously targeting him with long-range attack methods, steadily depleting his defensive shield.

Even though his strength had greatly increased, the situation showed no signs of improvement.

He remained unable to break free from the control of the Map of Mountains and Rivers, stuck in a passive state of being attacked.

On the other hand, Yi Chen leisurely pressed his attack.

He wanted to see if Xier could come up with any dazzling attack methods or plans.

Fighting against an evenly matched opponent was indeed very beneficial.

At the very least, this battle allowed him to see many flaws in the Map of Mountains and Rivers.

With the power of the Map of Mountains and Rivers, even using just one ten-thousandth of its power, it was already difficult for Xier to handle. Once it unleashed its full power, Xier would instantly be absorbed into the internal space of the Map of Mountains and Rivers.

However, the inside of the Map of Mountains and Rivers was not at all the weakness that Xier imagined.

It contained defensive formations that Xier could not destroy.

Inside, there were also Five Elements formations capable of unleashing powerful Spell Attacks to defeat Xier.

In fact, even the attacks from Xier could be easily resisted by the outer defensive formation of the Map of Mountains and Rivers without needing to avoid them.

Nevertheless, Yi Chen chose not to reveal too many of the Map of Mountains and Rivers’ functions and deliberately controlled it to evade the attacks.

But this battle also allowed Yi Chen to see many weaknesses of the Map of Mountains and Rivers.
