<h4>Chapter 1046 - Tilting The Scales Of Battle-I</h4>


    Daoist Hua channeled his power and raised his hand that faintly glowed.


    "REND!" He said as he moved his hand like a sword.


    A sh shot out of his hand, splitting apart everything in its path, along with a Dao Treading realm Gu Legion member''s arm!


    "ARGH!" The Dao Treading realm Gu Legion member cried in pain.


    His right hand had been severed, and it flew off. But that was not all. The hand that had been severed was further hit by the light raysing from the Noon Moon Paling''s moon in the sky.


    This utterly destroyed the hand and left no option for the Dao Treading realm Gu Legion to ever get it back. If it was still intact and he managed to get it back, he might have had a chance to reattach it in the future.


    Even if he was at the Dao Treading realm, regrowing an arm was many times harder than reattaching one. In fact, the higher one''s cultivation base went the harder it would get to regrow a limb or body part.


    This was due to the fact that there was a greater distance that needed to be crossed whenparing the quality of a cultivator''s flesh. The higher one went in cultivation, the better their body would be and the more it would cost to rece a limb.


    This was why most experts were fine with bodily injuries, as long as they weren''t on the level of losing a limb or other part entirely. The holes that the Dao Treading realm Gu Legion had sustained in their bodies were something that could be eventually healed.


    But not the loss of a limb.


    "DAMMIT!" the Dao Treading realm Gu Legion member who had lost an arm cursed and swallowed a couple of pills to stop the bleeding.


    But his eyes went wide as the Patriarch appeared beside him in the blink of an eye.


    Daoist''s Hua''s fingers were all straightened as the thrust his hand towards the side of the Dao Treading realm Gu Legion member.


    "NO!" The man shouted and tried to defend.


    He threw out a talisman that created a temporary shield, but it was useless.


    <i>~kacha~</i>


    The shield shattered under the stab of the patriarch Hua''s hand and the Dao Treading realm Gu Legion barely manged to dodge it. Even then, the tip of the patriarch''s middle finger managed to prick the man, drawing blood and cracking one of his ribs.


    "Don''t think you''ll get luck anymore." Daoist Hua said as he sprinted towards the other Dao Treading realm Gu Legion who was near him.


    <i>~shua~</i>


    He moved like a shark through the water and let out multiple attacks.

    The Dao Treading realm Gu Legion members did their best to block them, but their injuries kept on piling up. Daoist Hua''s attacksbined with the suppression from the Noon Moon Paling made it very difficult for the Gu Legion.


    The Noon Moon Paling''s light rays didn''t cause much damage, but they did cause the Dao Treading realm Gu Legion members to divert their attain a little too much. This was very dangerous when the patriarch was attacking them.


    ''This won''t be enough… I don''t know if we can make him exhaust the time limit of his skill at this rate.'' One of the Dao Treading realm Gu Legion members understood.


    He could very easily tell that the patriarch''s skill was possibly something simr to a self sacrifice skill. But at the same time, it was far too stable to be called as the same. He reckoned that it woulde to an end at a certain point, but they couldn''t rely on that.


    If the time was beyond an hour, they were sure to die.


    Then there was also the fact that the Noon Moon Paling was attacking incessantly under the control of the five elders.


    They had tried attacking the five elders to get he formation array to stop, but even that was impossible. The Noon Moon Paling surrounded the five elders and created an unreachable domain.


    A very strong attack, many times stronger than the normal light rays would strike them and it was something that may not kill them, but injure them just enough so that Daoist Hua would be able to take them out.


    And that was now an oue they wanted, of course. Even if one of them died here, they knew for sure the others would die too. They were only able to keep up their barrage because there were four of them to bear the burden.


    "Release your Dao Embryo''s! We can''t afford a stalemate anymore!" the leader of the Dao Treading realm Gu Legion members, stated.


    Hearing this, the others were certainly astonished, but they knew they had to do this.


    The five elders were surprised upon hearing this too, but for different reasons.


    "Patriarch! Be careful of their Dao Embryos! If they are anything like the other Dao Treading realm Gu Legion member that Elder Pigu killed at the cost of his life, it would be able to consume attacks!" Supreme elder Hua Langya warned.


    "WHAT?" Both Daoist Hua and the Dao Treading realm Gu Legion members were shocked upon hearing this.


    Daoist Hua because Elder Pigu had died, and the Dao Treading realm Gu Legion members because they didn''t even know their fifth member had died already.


    They were thinking of even regrouping with him if given the chance and increase their offense, but now that was not an option. And they didn''t think that the Supreme elder was bluffing either, otherwise the ability of their Dao Embryo wouldn''t be known to them.


    This was a secret ability that they gained after their Dao Embryo was born. All of them had the same Dao Embryo, and it was due to the efforts of Lord Gu Yao that they gained it too.


    "DO IT NOW!" The leader of the Dao Treading realm Gu Legion ordered.


    <i>~SHUA~</i>


    At that moment, several Dao Shells appeared!


    Seeing the tide of the battle changing again, Daoist Hua reacted quickly.
