Chapter 2244 Amethyst Crystal

Violetram, an Amethyst-Skull Ram, was stunned to see that Pearl had actually blocked his attack using his spear. His attack should have been around Immortal Origin's 7th realm in terms of strength, and somehow the Immortal Ascendant 9th realm beast had managed to survive one of his attacks.

And it hadn't even been a simple attack either. That blast of energy originating from his crystal skull was easily the second most destructive attack he had. It was one of the three great techniques he had received from his bloodline, so to see it be so easily defended had him shocked.

"You're not bad," the ram said. "It seems I can't win as easily as I thought I could."

Pearl said nothing in reply and simply made 25 stabbing motions in quick succession.

25 spear attacks, each carrying his Dao of Metal, and his Spear Aura flew toward the ram.

The ram stood still, a violet barrier forming in front of it, the energy coming out from the amethyst crystal on its head.

The 25 spear attacks struck the beast's head, and to his relief, the barrier lasted.

Pearl looked at his Spear. He still hadn't been able to master this technique. It was one of the more difficult forms, despite being placed on the very first of the list.

Five Heavenly Forms of Spear - First Form: Thousand Spears Pierce the Heaven

One was supposed to make multiple stabbing motions in as little time as they could, and at the moment, Pearl could only do 25. He needed both more cultivation and more speed to make it reach the legendary 1000 spears.

Although, it is hard to say if even Grimsight himself could do such a thing. Pearl simply had a hard time believing one could stab so many times in the first place.

'There has to be some other trick to this,' he thought.

The ram charged toward Pearl, his head ready to ram into him. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Pearl calmly looked at him approaching with a wave of aura surrounding him and, for the first time since coming to this arena, teleported.

His sudden disappearance and reappearance should have certainly come as a shock to many outside the stage. It certainly seemed to be surprising to the ram.

Pearl unknowingly attacked the wrong location and was surprised when his attacks landed way off target.

The ram laughed, bursting out of the metal wires, and charging toward him, and they began fighting once again.

They were both on more-or-less equal footing. While Pearl seemed to hold the upper hand in the fight, because the ram was so good at defending against attacks, he couldn't outright defeat him.

Also, he needed to physically attack the beast for the attack to even do anything, so he continuously used the Dao of Shrinking Space to attack the ram.

As Grimsight had taught him when the enemy was no doubt physically stronger, the best way to fight was by remaining in the distance, so that was all Pearl did.

He teleported around the stage, trying to stay one step ahead of the ram while attacking him from all directions. He was beginning to feel the onset of a headache from all the Dao he was using, but it had to be similar for the ram too.

It was using Dao all the time to defend against him, so no doubt it was using up its own Spiritual energy as well.

Pearl never defended another attack again, just teleporting out of it when he could. He did use the First form of the five spear forms to set out multiple spears toward his opponent's direction.

It was a shame that Pearl's Spear Aura wasn't one that was dedicated to attack, but rather a defensive one that was more so focused on Pearl's own survival. Had it been something like Alex's where it continuously attacked then the outcome of the battle might have been set already, but Pearl had never regretted his Spear Aura, so he wasn't going to do so now.

The battle went on for another 15 or so minutes with nothing major happening when the Ram suddenly used a technique that it hadn't used ever before.

The amethyst crystal on its forehead suddenly glowed bright purple. Pearl saw the glow and disappeared to the edge of the stage. But it did not matter.

The attack wasn't one that the ram had to target. It was something that went out in a shockwave of energy, touching everything in its direction.

Realizing that teleportation wasn't going to help him, he quickly used the Second Form: Heaven Guarding Spear to protect himself.

However, it wasn't a technique he could so easily protect against. The wave passed through him, doing nothing that Pearl could tell at a moment's notice.

He curiously looked toward Violentram, wondering what it was smiling so widely for. Then, Violentram charged toward him as he did the past hundreds of times.

Only this time, its speed had multiplied by over a dozen times.
