Chapter 478: Chapter 398 Yellow Sand Baili Ge Chapter 478: Chapter 398 Yellow Sand Baili Ge Arriving at the Scripture Hall, Su Yuan first went to find the array map for the Guard Post Barrier.
After a quick look, he saw that the Guard Post Barrier required just a Third-level Barrier Master’s basic skills, and its “Large” Specialization only needed to be at the third level.
As Su Yuan’s “Large” Specialization had long since reached the fourth level, setting up this barrier wasn’t difficult.
After putting away the array map, Su Yuan thought for a moment and, according to his previous plan, borrowed the remaining volumes behind the “Heavenly Strategy Formation Map.”
“I don’t know how long this trip to the New Dust Realm will take. According to my plan, these should provide enough knowledge to advance to the fifth level. Moreover, the Large and Transmute Specializations should also be able to reach the fifth level.”
Even barrier masters of the same level might specialize in different types of array barriers due to their research focuses.
The “Heavenly Strategy Formation Map” focused on the research of “Large” and “Transmute” Specializations, playing a game against the heavens.
Large Specialization allowed for the creation of bigger arrays, enhancing their power by taking up more space, essentially strengthening the hardware.
This had its pros and cons for the average barrier master.
But for Su Yuan, it was only beneficial.
With the cultivation of soul power, the Qingming Realm grew larger and more stable.
Arrays with the Large Specialization not only increased their power but also covered the entire subspace of the Qingming Realm.
After finishing his borrowing, Su Yuan left the Scripture Hall and quickly headed for the south gate.
Yan Changming asked, “Su Yuan, have you prepared the array map for the Guard Post Barrier?”
Su Yuan smiled, “It’s ready.”
“Good, let’s set off then.”
The group immediately departed from the south gate and quickly headed east…
Outside the Second Stage City of Chidang City, numerous City Guard members stood around a silver swirling void vortex.
From the spatial fluctuations emitted, it was clearly an entrance to an unknown space transmission point.
At that moment, a Radiant Moon Level expert was stationed at the entrance.
The man, about forty years old, had a square face and chiseled features, exuding an aura of decisiveness.
“Greetings to you all.” The Radiant Moon expert saluted when he saw Su Yuan and the others descend from the sky, “Dan City City Guard, Li Zong.”
“Captain Li.”
Yan Changming led the salute, and Su Yuan and the others followed suit.
In terms of status, although Li Zong wasn’t an envoy from the Sky Patrol Department, he was a captain of a Second Stage City’s City Guard, ranking among the top three in Dan City.
In terms of strength, Su Yuan and his group were no match for him; perhaps only the Star Lord could contend with him.
Li Zong said, “Please, Special Envoys, present your Black Cards and travel passes.”
Li Zong strictly followed protocol. Su Yuan and the others handed over their Black Cards for verification, and Yan Changming produced the travel pass issued by Wang Xu.
After checking, Li Zong nodded and led Su Yuan and the others to the entrance.
“As per the orders, no one has entered before you arrived. Naturally, we had not sent anyone to explore inside.”
Yan Changming nodded, “Thank you, Captain Li. According to intelligence from the other two entry points, once we’re inside, we might not be able to exit immediately. We’re here to pave the way.”
Li Zong saluted, “Then be careful.”
“Alright.”
Yan Changming stepped into the void first, with Su Yuan and the others following closely behind.
Though Su Yuan had entered many Secret Realms, this transmission took longer than any other.
In the silver and black spatial passage, their bodies were constantly pulled and shuttled through the chaos outside the passage, which was completely unclear.
After an indeterminate amount of time, a light appeared ahead, signaling their destination.
Su Yuan and the others felt invigorated as their vision blurred, and they found themselves in a sunlit, primitive world.
“So, this is the New Dust Realm.” Baili Ge took a deep breath and smiled, “The air here is fresher than in any other Secret Realm I’ve been to. Nice!”
But soon, Baili Ge noticed something ahead and curiously pointed, “What’s that Thunderbird? I’ve never seen one before.”
Not far ahead of Su Yuan and the others were two monstrous birds with semicircular black wings, their exaggerated thunder patterns covering the wings that occasionally sent out alarming currents.
“Arcwing Monster Birds!” Yan Changming immediately recognized them.
“Arcwing Monster Birds? Arcwing Monster Birds…” Baili Ge watched the two birds, pondering for a moment before exclaiming, “I remember now! If I’m not wrong, these should be epic star beasts that vanished in ancient Blue Sea Star.”
Yan Changming nodded, “Correct. Arcwing Monster Birds are extremely agile and master Thunder Techniques. They’re very skilled at kiting tactics; avoid getting entangled with them.”
As they conversed, the two Arcwing Monster Birds also noticed Su Yuan and the others who had suddenly appeared in their territory.
“Caw!”
The two Arcwing Monster Birds shrieked sharply, with thunder crackling over their wings. With a flap, they transformed into two thunder arcs that shot towards them!
“Simple yet powerful!” Su Yuan nodded as he observed the incoming thunder arcs.
Even without utilizing his “All-Knowing Vision,” Su Yuan could perceive the strength of the attack with his “Super Perception”!
Arc Light Thunder Saber, a direct attack skill whose damage multiplies with speed!
Combined with the speed of the Arcwing Monster Birds, one strike could seriously injure an ordinary Shining Star!
At the front, Baili Ge formed a seal with his hands and shouted, “Shi Cheng!”
In an instant, the ground rumbled, and a yellow stone wall, over a dozen feet tall, rose from the ground!
The wall was shrouded in yellow earth qi, indicating its formidable defense.
In a flash, the arc light thunder sabers of the two Arcwing Monster Birds struck the yellow stone wall.
Thunder burst forth, and the yellow stone wall immediately developed numerous cracks!
“Caw!”
The two strange birds exerted their strength again, ready to break through the stone wall and attack Baili Ge and Su Yuan’s group.
“This earth wall alone won’t withstand the strikes from the thunder saber, but…”
However, seeing the determined expressions on Tian Bulue and Yan Changming’s faces, Su Yuan knew Baili Ge must have a trick up his sleeve.
He knew the identities of the First Level Special Envoys but was clueless about their capabilities.
But whether it was the fellow Vermilion Bird Imperial’s First Level Special Envoy Yan Changming or the more experienced Tian Bulue, they were likely familiar with Baili Ge’s strengths…
Sure enough, in the next moment, just as the stone wall was about to be shattered, it suddenly disintegrated into waves of yellow sand, which surged up and entangled the two strange birds.
In just a few moments, the yellow sand had firmly wrapped both birds, forming two struggling sandy spheres.
Baili Ge’s mouth curled up into a grin as he raised his hand in a gripping gesture, “Yellow Sand Strangulation!”
“Caw?!!…”
Amidst the two strange birds’ shrill cries, the sand spheres suddenly contracted and squeezed, causing blood to spurt out from between the grains!
This time, the two strange birds’ bodies collapsed, their organs crushed, clearly severely injured.
The raging thunder tried to blast apart the sand from within.
But the yellow sand, with its significant Star Power resistance and self-repairing properties, left the two Arcwing Monster Birds helpless against it!
“Two mere strange birds, thinking they can escape my binding after being caught in my yellow sand?” Baili Ge formed seal techniques with his hands and, with a cold smile, whispered, “Sand Virgin!”
The surface of the sand spheres began to vibrate rapidly, producing sharp sand spikes from within that pierced into the two birds’ bodies!
The two Arcwing Monster Birds let out high-pitched cries and shuddered violently. After a few seconds, they fell silent…
Raising his hand, Baili Ge dispelled the yellow sand, and the carcasses of the two strange birds dropped from midair, hitting the ground.
They lay there like tattered sacks, bloody and riddled with holes, undeniably dead.
“A First Level Special Envoy indeed isn’t simple…” Su Yuan thought, his eyes narrowing.
Over the past six months, he had encountered many Second Level Special Envoys.
Despite the Arcwing Monster Birds’ overconfidence, Baili Ge’s ease in killing two epic star beasts demonstrated a significantly higher level of skill compared to Second Level Special Envoys like Yang Song and Wang Xudong.
“Hey, shouldn’t you praise me for solving this problem?” Baili Ge asked, slightly displeased by the lack of reaction from the group.
Tian Bulue earnestly praised, “Truly worthy of ‘Yellow Sand’ Baili Ge!”
Yan Changming nodded slightly, “Impressive.”
“Heh, that’s more like it!” Baili Ge crossed his arms, a smirk on his face.
“Yellow Sand,” huh…
Su Yuan pondered, realizing that Baili Ge seemed to be able to transmute earth elements from his skills into yellow sand and even craft new skills from it.
This not only drastically reduced consumption, but the resistance, versatility, and power were vastly enhanced.
Of course, this was just what Su Yuan observed; there might be other attributes yet undiscovered.
After Baili Ge handled the two birds’ bodies, the group prepared to move out.
Yan Changming instructed, “Baili Ge, patrol the surroundings with me. Tian Bulue, stay and guard Su Yuan as he sets up the Guard Post Barrier.”
“No problem.” Tian Bulue agreed.
Su Yuan nodded and got to work.
Yan Changming and Baili Ge then proceeded to scout the area…
After half a day, a spirit light shot into the sky as pale blue spirit light rippled outwards.
The Guard Post Barrier was completed.
“Smoother than expected.” Su Yuan nodded while standing within the barrier.
Despite the complexities, setting up the Guard Post Barrier wasn’t difficult for Su Yuan given his current expertise.
The consumption of spiritual power and Star Power for the engraving process was negligible.
