Buzz~Buzz~
The high-speed vibrating blade tore through the air, causing a sharp buzzing sound. The surging energy raised a huge cloud of dust, forming two terrifying hurricanes behind the giant knife bee beast.
Whoosh~
The giant knife bee beast flew out, and with Yang Qi's eyesight he could only see a trail of afterimage.
Whoosh~ Whoosh~
The blades on the star beast swung, turning into sharp sword shadows. These sword shadows pierced through the air and turned into a giant net, covering Wu Qian.
“What a wonderful feeling.”
Yang Qi looked at the huge net formed by the knife shadows and raised his brows. The seemingly messy combination of knife shadows gave people an extremely mysterious feeling.
“That is the vibration of Tao!”
Yang Qi's pupils shrank. He was not unfamiliar with this mysterious feeling. When he activated the pseudo-Tao soldiers, he could also trigger similar fluctuations. However, compared to the one displayed by the knife bee beast, the pseudo-Tao soldiers released by him were like the difference between a drop of water and the ocean. The two were completely on different levels.
“It’s worthy of being a star beast. It’s obviously only at the peak of Martial Honor, but it can actually launch attacks that contain the power of Tao.” Yang Qi sighed in his heart.
The power of Tao belongs to the level of Martial King Realm. Only the strong ones in the Martial King Realm can truly display the power of Tao. However, the star beast in front of him, which is obviously only at the peak of Martial Honor, can rely on itself to display the power of Tao.
“No wonder he possesses the combat power of Martial King while only being at the peak of Martial Honor.” Yang Qi said secretly.
In addition to the difference in Yuanli cultivation, the biggest difference between the Martial Honor Realm and the Martial King Realm is the difference in the level of Tao. The strong men in the Martial King Realm can use the power of Tao to attack at will, but the practitioners in the Martial Honor Realm, even with the help of pseudo-Tao soldiers, can only release a superficial attack containing the power of Tao. Attacks of that level may be very powerful at the Martial Honor Realm level, but for the real Martial King Realm strongmen, they are like children's toys and pose no threat at all!
Whoosh~ Whoosh~
Facing the attack of the star beast, Wu Qian did not defend passively. Instead, he shook the sword in his hand, and sharp sword beams shot out from his hand.
Bang! Bang!
Low muffled sounds exploded in the air, and all the attacking sword shadows were actually blocked by the sword in Wu Qian's hand.
"Qian Bo changed his tactics?"
Seeing Wu Qian blocking the attack of the star beast and not chasing it again, Yang Qi couldn't help but be slightly stunned. With Wu Qian's strength, it should not be difficult for him to kill the star beast.
"Could it be..."
Yang Qi's eyes lit up, and he instantly thought of the reason why Wu Qian did this. The reason why Wu Qian did this was probably because he guessed that he wanted to watch the battle, so he deliberately suppressed his strength and fought the star beast instead of directly killing it, in order to give him more time to observe.
“However, after all, it involves the level of Tao. It is not so easy to gain some understanding.” Yang Qi looked at the star beast that was rushing towards Wu Qian again, and a bitter smile appeared on his face.
If he still had a treasure like the Lotus of Enlightenment in his hand, perhaps he could gain some insights, but now it is too difficult to gain anything just by watching the battle.
Although it was very difficult, Yang Qi did not give up. It was rare to see a battle at the Martial King level, and Wu Qian even held back to let him watch. How could he miss such a good opportunity? If it were a Martial King cultivator, knowing that he was no match for Wu Qian, he would have probably fled long ago. Only a star beast with low intelligence and almost only devouring instinct could give Wu Qian the opportunity to hold back and let Yang Qi watch.
Boom! Boom!
Wu Qian's swung sword continuously collided with the star beast. Every fight was accompanied by a terrifying loud noise. The residual power of the fight between the two sides could spread thousands of feet and even tear some space cracks.
As the man and the beast continued to fight, Yang Qi gradually discovered some problems.
“It seems that the star beasts can only mobilize the power of Tao when attacking, and Qian Bo’s every move contains the power of Tao.” Yang Qi’s eyes focused and he said secretly in his heart.
Although the star beast is powerful, its use of the power of Tao seems to be still rough and has not reached the point where it can do whatever it wants.
"Is it because you haven't reached the Martial King realm?"
Yang Qi raised his eyebrows. In the inherited memory of Emperor Haoyang, the star beasts that reached the Martial King realm were no less skilled in the application of the Dao than practitioners. In fact, due to their instincts, their application of the Dao was even more subtle than that of ordinary practitioners.
"No, it shouldn't be entirely due to the Martial King realm. Just looking at the power of the Dao he uses, the Star Beast is definitely not inferior to a cultivator who has just entered the Martial King realm. In other words, at the level of Dao, he should not be weaker than the Martial King realm." Yang Qi frowned slightly.
"etc… "
Suddenly, Yang Qi looked at Wu Qian who was fighting, and a flash of inspiration came to his mind. He found that he seemed to have overlooked something.
"Practice!"
A gleam of light flashed in Yang Qi's eyes. At this moment, he finally understood why the fluctuations of the Tao on the knife bee beast were so strange.
Star beasts and puppets are similar in one aspect, they both cannot practice cultivation. Because puppets cannot practice cultivation, their Tao cannot be improved, but the Tao of star beasts can be improved because they can devour and evolve!
"Star beasts are very likely to be the same as puppets. Their way lies in themselves!" Yang Qi's gaze fell on the giant knife bee beast, and a light flashed in his eyes.
The Tao of puppets is different from that of practitioners. When puppets are refined, the Tao has already been formed. After successful refining, it is integrated into their bodies and souls, while practitioners rely on their own understanding and then integrate it into themselves. Although there is no difference between the two in the end, because the Tao of puppets is fixed and cannot be changed during refining, they cannot change. However, practitioners can continuously improve themselves by understanding themselves.
The star beast in front of him was clearly only at the peak level of Martial Honor, but the power of the Dao he displayed was not weaker than that of a cultivator at the Martial King level. The only possibility was that their Dao was like a puppet in their own body. Just like the bloodline power of a bloodline cultivator, as their strength continued to increase, their bloodline power also increased.
“It is indeed so!”
As Yang Qi observed more, he soon discovered that when the star beast attacked, it used a special attack method. It was this method that activated the Tao contained in him and released the power of the Tao.
“That method…” The scene of the previous star beast attack kept flashing through Yang Qi’s mind. Countless knife shadows flashed in his mind, and his mind suddenly entered a wonderful state. A strange wave spread out with him as the center.
Enlightenment!
Wu Qian sensed the strange fluctuations in the distance, and glanced in the direction of Yang Qi, his pupils suddenly shrinking. He deliberately suppressed his own strength to fight against the knife bee beast, hoping that Yang Qi could gain something, and at this time Yang Qi fell into enlightenment, which showed that Yang Qi had gained a lot.
