Unbeatable! Invincible! Unparalleled! 56 Chapter 55: Full-Burst Mode!

The golem continued to throw punches at Duan Li as the latter dodged left and right.

"I feel as if the situation are being reversed right now.." said Duan Li with an awkward smile.

This was because, he was the one who would usually throw the punches around non-stop. But now without the existence of the spiritual Qi replenis.h.i.+ng him from the surrounding, he could only avoid the punches being thrown at him without retaliating as it would be useless and a waste of his spiritual Qi.

After about 30 breaths, the sword had finally finished modifying Duan Li's spatial ring and he couldn't help but commented, "I took a peek inside young master's s.p.a.ce ring when modifying it before. At first, I thought that the inside s.p.a.ce would be quite small since it was made up from a very low quality material... but the size.. I could say perhaps it is as big as the whole Eternal maze itself!"

Duan Li just smiled wryly as he didn't know how to explain it. After all, he had vowed to not tell a single soul about the mysterious pearl aside from his mother.

BAM!

The golem threw another punch but missed and hit the ground. There were now a lot of craters inside the chamber and Duan Li was getting worried that it would eventually run amok to destroy the precious treasures around.

Thus, he turned to speak at the sword. "How do we beat this thing?"

The sword then immediately replied, "I could slice up this fool's limb into many pieces, but that would just be a waste of time as it would definitiely reattach itself in a jiffy!"

"Therefore, the only way to beat it, would be to s.n.a.t.c.h away its monster core directly or destroy it!" the sword continued.

"s.n.a.t.c.h it's monster core? But isn't it a spirit and not a monster? Besides, I don't see it anywhere though?" asked Duan Li as he squinted his eyes.

In his memories before, he had never encountered any spirit at all, perhaps only Ancestor Zong. This was because he was too focused on cultivating day and night and spent less days outside. He had heard of them, but only superficial information that he couldn't recall at all.

"Every living thing has their core, some even had multiples of them! Human being is the only exception to this as they have their dantian. For monsters, even if you s.n.a.t.c.hed away their cores, they would still be able to live and regenerate their cores over time. However for a spirit, once you s.n.a.t.c.h away their cores and cultivate them, they would be as good as dead!" explained the sword.

Even the sword himself has a core within its hilt. But naturally, he wouldn't reveal this to anyone.

"I see! Okay, I've come up with a plan! I will use my fist art to pressure the golem while you prepare youself at my signal to bore through its body and retrieve the core! Can you do that?" said Duan Li as he dodged the punches to the left.

"That's a solid plan young master! My strength was not as it used to be so I would need a moment to focus myself, but yes, I could penetrate against its defense!" replied the sword confidently.

The sword then floated up into the air as it reverted back to its proper sword form. Slowly, it's aura started to become sharper and more vivid.

"Time to counter-attack!" Duan Li's eye glinted like that of an eagle hawking at its prey as he dashed forward to circle around the back of the golem.

'Nine Fists Shattering Meteor!'

BAM!

BAM!

Duan Li targeted both of its legs so as to destabilize it's footing. Specifically, his target was at the back of it's knees.

BAM!

BAM!

With countless batterings, the golem couldn't help but to eventually became unstable as it then fell to the ground.

Cras.h.!.+

It was this moment that Duan Li was aiming for as he signalled to the sword to finally make a move!

"NOW!"

Psheww!

The sword immediately bolted forward while rotating on its own axis like a revolving thunder dragon being casted by the heavens, straight into the chest of the golem.

Break!!

BOOM!

The sword was drilling through the golem right now. Before long, it could finally see the monster core of the Earthly golem!

"I found it young master! I'll s.n.a.t.c.h it right away!" exclaimed the sword in excitement.

However, just as the sword was about to sever the monster core away from the body of the Earthly golem, the unthinkable happened!

Whoop!

To think that the core would be able to move freely within it's body!

The Earthly golem then regenerated instantly to seal the sword inside it, leaving only the hilt exposed outside it's body.

"d.a.m.n it, you brainless brute!" roared the sword in anger.

Seeing this, Duan Li called out to the sword in a panic, "Are you alright little sword?!"

"I am fine young master! Just that I am unable to escape from it's grasp! This Earthly golem continued to regenerate endlessly inside it's body in order to pin me down!" replied the sword feeling completely frustrated with it's situation.

How did he became so useless?

And why did this Earthly golem was so smart?

"Young master, now that it had become like this, there are only two way to escape from this predicament! Unless you have a s.p.a.ce magic to lock its movements, then we can somehow stop its regenerative abilities to s.n.a.t.c.h its monster core away!" said the sword out loud.

BAM!

Duan Li dodged to the right as he replied, " I haven't learn any s.p.a.ce magic yet! What about the second option?!"

"This... to evaporate its whole body! The Earthly golem however, would definitely reinforce the area where it contained it's monster core to the best of its abilities! Furthermore, this golem is of the Earth element, resistant towards the Fire element! It would take a tremendous firepower to evaporate the whole body!" explained the sword.

Evaporate it's whole body? Tremendous firepower?

A thought struck at him as he remembered his ultimate skill art, 'One Finger Starlight Slas.h.!.+'

Of all the skill arts that he possessed, only this one was the most powerful of all!

"I shall placed all my bets onto this one then!" said Duan Li as he gritted his teeth with a very deep conviction look appearing on his face.

"Arff! Arrff!" Duan Li placed the cub on the ground as the latter ran out to seek shelter.

Duan Li then started to a.n.a.lyze his entire meridians, pathways and acupuncture points as he devised a plan, which was to turn his ultimate skill art into an all full-burst mode!

BAM!

BAM!

Urghh!

Duan Li was flung away by the Earthly golem's punch as he was distracted trying to modify his skill art.

"Young master!!" the sword shrieked out, horrified as it then bellowed out with extreme anger, "You sc.u.m! How dare you lay your hand onto the Young master! Courting death!"

'Pu!' Duan Li spatted out a mouthful of blood. That single punch from the golem was extremely terrifying! To think that it could damage his physical body which is at the pinnacle of the Foundation establishment realm!

"I am fine! Don't worry about me! I am going to use my ultimate skill art now! Be sure to protect yourself and s.n.a.t.c.h it's core!" shouted Duan Li as he stood back up again.

Stabilizing his breathing, his pores were now all opened wide to absorb not spiritual Qi, but the surrounding oxygen rapidly like a black hole.

His entire meridians and pathways were now surging, spooling repeatedly as if charging itself to becoming more potent with each cycle.

Sensing the changes of Duan Li, the sword shouted out in a panic, "Young master! What are you doing?! You are going to severely injure yourself like this!!"

"This is the only way!" replied Duan Li as he gritted his teeth. His internal organs were now just barely holding together, and he had started to bleed on all of his seven apertures!

Raising his right arm straight ahead, he pointed out with his index finger!

'One Finger Starlight Slash: Full-burst mode!'

A ball of light appeared in front of his index finger. This light seemed to illuminate everything in the world as they turned extremely bright!

In an instant, this ball of light became a single, raging stream of large beams that expanded out as it shoots forward with extreme and tyrannical force behind it!

BOOOOOOMMMMMMMM!!!!!

At that point, the whole maze shook as the intense power that was released by Duan Li's ultimate skill art hits the body of the Earthly golem squarely to instantly evaporate it and penetrate all the way to the ceiling.

The sword also moved in an instant as it s.n.a.t.c.hed the monster core away while it's whole body were glowing bright red!

"Ouch! Ouch! It's hot!" the sword yelped out.

At the same time, it couldn't help but to feel awe with Duan Li's power. "This young master is even more tyrannical! Such firepower would alert even those at the Nascent Soul realm!"

"We did it young master!" the sword exclaimed happily as it approached Duan Li with the monster cores at tow.

"We... did it..." Duan Li smiled widely as he then felt all his limbs growing weak.

His consciousness slowly fading, he fell to the ground.

Thud!

"Young master!!"
