Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16376

Chapter 16374 Battle

Although Shi Yong was quite pleased with himself, he remained calm. He didn’t give rash orders but instead followed the original plan, leading his army straight towards Tianwu Lake.

Tianwu Lake got its name from the frequent thick fog that often shrouded the lake, especially in its center, where the fog was often very high, almost touching the sky. Normally, the fishermen living on the lake wouldn’t venture into its center.

When Shi Yong and his men arrived at Tianwu Lake, the situation was similar; they could see a vast expanse of fog stretching to the horizon, making it appear as if the sky and earth were truly connected.

Shi Yong looked at the thick fog through the projection, a smile appearing on his face. Just then, a disciple approached him and said, “Elder, the commander of one of the large magical artifacts ahead said something strange about Heavenly Mist Lake. There are many people and boats in the lake, and those boats don’t look like ordinary fishing boats. Most importantly, when the people on those fishing boats saw our large magical artifacts, they jumped directly into the lake and haven’t come back up for a long time. Judging from their skills, they seem to be cultivators, not ordinary fishermen.”

Upon hearing this report, Shi Yong’s expression changed. He immediately said, “Tell them to be careful and see if there’s anything else unusual. Also, notify everyone to prepare for an attack. After we destroy the lake, we’ll retreat immediately.” The disciple acknowledged and went to relay the orders.

After the disciple left, Shi Yong frowned. He felt something was amiss. This lake wasn’t a strategic location, so why were there so many cultivators there? What was going on?

Thinking of this, Shi Yong felt a sense of unease. He didn’t know what was going on, and he only hoped that this operation would go smoothly.

Soon, when Shi Yong’s army was less than a hundred miles away from Tianwu Lake, countless waves suddenly surged in the lake, as if some giant beast was stirring up trouble. This situation also caught Shi Yong’s attention, and he could also see what was happening in the lake.

He immediately shouted, “Notify everyone to pay attention and see what’s happening in the lake!”

As soon as he finished speaking, before the disciple could relay the order, one after another, Creation Golden Wheels suddenly flew up from Tianwu Lake. These Creation Golden Wheels all looked brand new, and each wheel shimmered with a metallic light. However, the light shimmering on these wheels was not golden, but a kind of eerie blue light.

Upon seeing this situation, Shi Yong’s expression changed drastically. He immediately shouted, “Not good! The Water Refining Method! The Blood Slaughter Sect is refining the Creation Golden Wheel here! Damn it, how could they possibly make the Creation Golden Wheel? Prepare to retreat!”

Shi Yong knew about the Water Refining Method. It was also a method of refining artifacts, though not as commonly used as the Fire Refining Method. The Water Refining Method had a unique characteristic: it required specific types of water, just as the Fire Refining Method required special fire. Ordinary fire could also be used for refining artifacts, but it took too long. The Water Refining Method was similar. Generally, it required special water that was constantly flowing and had a strong impact. Only then could the Water Refining Method be used. However, special water, like divine water, was even harder to find than special flames.

This is precisely why water-refining techniques are less commonly used. Of course, this doesn’t mean water-refining techniques are unusable; in fact, some sects still use them. If special water cannot be found, ordinary water can be used, but it takes a very long time. Magical artifacts refined using water-refining techniques possess a faint blue glow before they are fully refined, much like the Creation Golden Wheels.

Therefore, when Shi Yong saw those Creation Golden Wheels, he immediately realized that the Blood Slaughter Sect was using water-refining techniques to create Creation Golden Wheels. This is also an advantage of fire-refining techniques; it allows for the simultaneous refinement of multiple magical artifacts, even multiple large ones, provided there is enough water to hold them, and the water must be flowing. Most importantly, the impact of the water flow must be strong enough to refine multiple magical artifacts.

Tianwu Lake is enormous, the largest lake in the Divine Kingdom, teeming with countless undercurrents. It could hold a thousand Creation Golden Wheels, so it’s not surprising that the Blood Slaughter Sect might be refining them here. What truly

alarmed Shi Yong was that this was a refining base for the Blood Slaughter Sect. This meant there would be many enemies and powerful experts stationed here. Add to that the Creation Golden Wheels—judging by their appearance, even if not fully refined, they were nearly ready for use. And there were so many of them; if they could unleash even six-tenths of their strongest power, they would be in serious trouble.

But that wasn’t the most terrifying part. The most terrifying part was that if this truly was a refining base for the Blood Slaughter Sect, there would definitely be teleportation arrays here, and quite a few at that. If the Blood Slaughter Sect received the news and a large number of reinforcements arrived, they would be in grave danger.

It was because he had considered these things that Shi Yong ordered a retreat. Just then, a disciple approached Shi Yong and said, “Elder, Elder Xu asked if you should immediately report the situation here to General Li.”

Shi Yong hesitated for a moment, then immediately replied, “Report it! We must report it immediately. Tell General Li that the Blood Slaughter Sect is refining the Creation Golden Wheels at Heavenly Mist Lake. We stumbled in by mistake. Tell General Li that we may be in danger this time, but no matter what, we will do our best to destroy the Blood Slaughter Sect’s large magical artifacts.”

The disciple acknowledged and immediately went to deliver the message. Just then, the Creation Golden Wheels that had just emerged from Heavenly Mist Lake rushed towards them. As they rushed towards them, water dragons immediately formed on the Creation Golden Wheels, which then charged directly at their large magical artifacts.

This is precisely the characteristic of the Creation Golden Wheel. It can be transformed into other magic arrays, and then use those arrays to release spells to attack enemies. Previously, when dealing with the Creation God Cult, the Creation Golden Wheel caused them considerable trouble. The spells released by the Creation Golden Wheel are very powerful. Don’t be fooled by the fact that they are only releasing water dragons now. You should know that this is Heavenly Mist Lake, where water element is most abundant. Therefore, using water-based spells here will be about three times more powerful than in other places.

Furthermore, there’s a common misconception that water-based magic is weak, but that’s not true. Water magic has many important branches, such as ice and mist magic, all of which can be considered part of it. However, don’t assume that only ice magic is powerful. In fact, water magic itself is incredibly powerful. The impact of water is no joke. Many people may not have tried it, but if the current is strong enough, even an adult will have difficulty standing in knee-deep water. And don’t forget, in engineering, there’s a special tool called a water knife. If the water knife is powerful enough, it can actually cut through metal. Therefore, the power of water magic is definitely no less than any other type of magic.

The water dragons released by the Golden Wheel of Creation were enormous and incredibly lifelike, almost to the point of being lifelike. Most importantly, the water composing these dragons was constantly flowing at high speed. Therefore, if these water dragons were to collide with their large magical artifacts, it would be a serious problem. Even if they couldn’t shatter their artifacts, they would certainly be displaced, unable to move or even fight normally. Upon seeing the water dragons

, Shi Yong’s expression changed drastically. He immediately shouted, “Use spells to attack and disperse those water dragons!” All large magical artifacts contained spells, and their ranged attacks were all spell attacks. Therefore, their large magical artifacts could certainly release spells, and with considerable power. However, the spells they could release were limited, unlike the Golden Wheel of Creation, which could release multiple spells through array transformations, or even be converted into a teleportation array. Therefore, Shi Yong and his companions were not without the power to retaliate against the Golden Wheel of Creation’s attacks.

In fact, each sect’s large magical artifacts have their own advantages and disadvantages. It cannot be said that one sect’s large magical artifact can truly dominate all others. If the Creation Golden Wheel could truly surpass all large magical artifacts, the Creation God Sect wouldn’t have been so easily destroyed. While the Creation Golden Wheel’s attack power is indeed very strong and troublesome, it is not invincible.

Following Shi Yong’s command, the disciples controlling the large magical artifacts immediately responded, and their artifacts immediately released spells to attack the water dragons.

Shi Yong came from the Shi family, which was most famous for its earth-based spells and defensive capabilities. Therefore, the Shi family’s large magical artifact was a stone-like object, and the spell he released was an earth-based meteorite spell. A huge meteorite hurtled directly towards the water dragons.

The water dragons seemed to possess sentience; upon seeing the meteorite hurtling towards them, they immediately charged forward. With a deafening boom, the water dragons crashed directly into the meteorite, shattering it into countless fragments, while the water dragons themselves vanished as water droplets.

However, the sheer number of water dragons was overwhelming, and the speed at which Shi Yong and his companions could unleash spells from their large magical artifacts couldn’t match the speed of the spells released by the Creation Golden Wheel. Therefore, Shi Yong and his group gradually fell into a disadvantageous position. This wasn’t due to a difference in the artifacts themselves, but rather a difference in the skill of those wielding them. The Creation Golden Wheel created by the Blood Slaughter Sect contained countless Heavenly Evolution Spheres. With a simple command, the Heavenly Evolution Spheres would direct the Creation Golden Wheel to unleash spells against the enemy—a speed that ordinary cultivators couldn’t achieve when controlling large magical artifacts.
