I conquered the cultivation world with scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

Chapter 575 Unleashing a powerful attack to instantly kill

The cultivators on the Dharma Cultivation Ranking had all witnessed Jiang He unleash her ultimate move and were now on guard.

After all, Jiang He can cast spells instantly without using a staff or chanting incantations, making him unique among magic practitioners of this type.

Many cultivators looked at Jiang He with apprehension.

After the match began, no one dared to make a move, and everyone waited for someone to launch an attack on Jiang He.

Jiang He smiled and looked at the cultivator standing on the platform:

"What? Are you scared?"

"What are you afraid of? I'll give you a few seconds since you're injured."

"Indeed, otherwise it would be considered bullying you."

"Wait a minute, no one said the competition can't wait."

"Everyone, listen to me. Don't cast the spell so early. It's safer to observe the situation first."

"What Fellow Daoist Meng said is exactly what I was thinking."

"I will listen to Fellow Daoist Meng."

Jiang He looked at the cultivator who remained motionless and slowly took out her staff from her mustard seed pouch.

They gave us the chance to make the first move.

Jiang He was seriously injured, and the spiritual energy used for instantaneous spellcasting was too great. She decisively chose to use a staff, which had a shorter wind-up and was faster than direct chanting.

At the same time in the live stream, compared to the previous sword cultivator arena, the magic cultivators in the magic cultivator arena were hesitant; they watched for a long time and neither side had started fighting.

I'm a little tired.

:Sleepy=_=Sleepy

When will it start? I've been waiting forever, these cultivators are just dawdling.

Hasn't the fight started yet?

No, I don't know when the fight will start. Logically speaking, so many people ganging up on one person shouldn't be a problem.

"It's my turn! It's my turn! The staff in Hongmu's hand is so special. It's glittering with gold and inlaid with nine kinds of crystal cores. It's so cool and colorful!"

It really was; when Hongmu took out the staff, it practically blinded me.

This staff is an all-element staff.

All-element staffs? Never heard of that.

: All-element staffs, containing the basic five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, as well as special elements such as lightning, ice, wind, and poison, suitable for nine spiritual roots.

Oh, nine spiritual roots? Three spiritual roots are already a bit much, four spiritual roots basically mean slow spiritual energy flow, and five spiritual roots are practically useless. It's said that cultivators with five spiritual roots are almost like trash, their spiritual energy flow is almost stagnant, basically equivalent to ordinary people.

Most people with five spiritual roots can't actually cultivate them, let alone have the probability of doing so.

"That's because you haven't met our senior, Jiang He. She has five spiritual roots, she's incredibly powerful, she can advance in rank almost every few months. When I met her, she was already the top scorer in the national college entrance examination, a Golden Core cultivator at 17, and reached the Nascent Soul realm after entering university. Moreover, she doesn't just have five spiritual roots, she has eight in total: metal, wood, water, fire, earth, ice, thunder, and wind, three of which are mutated spiritual roots. When she fights, it's like a disco."

Jiang He? That name sounds familiar.

I know a little bit. Is she related to Long Aotian? You two go to the same school, right? Wanjue Academy.

I remember now, it seems that in the competition two years ago, Jiang He led Wanjue Academy to first place.

A 17-year-old Golden Core cultivator isn't anything special, but an 18-year-old Nascent Soul cultivator certainly shows talent. So why haven't we heard of this person in the sect competitions? If Jiang He has this level of strength and talent, she wouldn't be overlooked in any sect.

My senior classmate has passed away.

Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't know.

There's nothing wrong with saying this. Actually, everyone should know the cause of our senior's death; it's related to the Department of Extraordinary Investigations.

Are you referring to the incident where the Observer Corps stormed the Fifth Army and the entire Corps was wiped out by the Empire?

Yes, the Surveillance Department stormed the Fifth Army to arrest the senior student. When they failed, they were accused of murder, and Yan Xingwen of the Fifth Army stood by and did nothing…

Holy crap, there's such a shady deal going on? Jiang He is so pitiful, she became a direct victim of their power struggle.

I find it hard to believe. A five-elemental-root trash like Jiang He reached the Nascent Soul stage at 18 and was even chosen to go to the Black Nest? But I always remembered that only seniors of the Myriad Absolutes Academy were qualified to go to the Black Nest. Wasn't Jiang He a sophomore at that time? She couldn't have gone, could she?

It was reformed a long time ago. You can search it up. Since that year, a selection system has been directly adopted.

Okay, Jiang He really died unjustly.

The mahogany staff is an all-element staff, which is a bit over the top. She only has one spiritual root, so why bother with so many elemental staffs? In the end, she'll only use one spiritual root anyway.

How would I know?

Personally, I think the mahogany staff must be very difficult to obtain, especially since it's an all-element staff and of superior quality.

It looks like it might even surpass the highest grade.

That's impossible, there can't be top-quality ones, right?

What's impossible? The Free and Unfettered Sect is almost more mysterious than the Divine Cult. Those few people possess magical artifacts; Hongmu has a top-grade spirit sword, and Long Aotian from Baizhizhou also has one. I don't believe they don't have powerful backers supplying them with resources.

That's true.

Hongmu is taking out his staff to start casting a spell, right? Let's get this fighting started!

: We've hit them!

...in seconds

Is it over?

Not yet, but it's almost there.

Who got instantly killed? Did Redwood kill someone instantly or get instantly killed?

[All cultivators except those from Hongmu were instantly killed]

Hua Xi couldn't hide her amazement. The female cultivator on the field chanted for a long time and unleashed a powerful move. All the cultivators on the field fell to the ground, except for one cultivator at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage who was struggling to hold on.

"Cool! Redwood!"

Li Ling screamed, and Zhong Liyu also looked like a fangirl.

Jiang He hadn't moved since she took out her staff. Her injuries made it difficult for her to move around much, so she stood by the edge of the swamp the whole time.

The staff shortened the spellcasting process; from the moment Jiang He received the staff to the moment she cast the spell, it took only three seconds.

Those three seconds were enough for the other cultivators to dodge and discuss countermeasures. Unfortunately, this group of scattered individuals was destined to be a disorganized mob.

Bubbling water rose from the swamp. Jiang He tapped her staff lightly, and instantly the soft ground transformed from its unchanging calm into a frigid expanse.

One by one, arms made of ice appeared, unexpectedly binding all the cultivators' ankles, rendering them unable to move.

The ice-sculpted hand was incredibly sharp, like a ghost.

The cultivators watching this scene felt as if they were there themselves, as if an extra hand had appeared at their ankles.
