Tianhai Fairy Journey

Chapter 1525 The Decision: Annihilation
Shuangyang Sea Area.

On the vast and boundless sea, a blue phantom slowly descended.

At this moment, the sea and sky behind this battlefield were also filled with the atmosphere of fighting. Countless spirit boats and warships that came from all directions transformed into a large torrent of spiritual light and continued to surge towards the front-line battlefield.

"It seems the intensity of this battle far exceeded our expectations; the Chamber of Commerce has actually recalled us all!"

"Yes, from what I understand, the Ghost King Sect's offensive is fierce, and the entire outer defense line is collapsing rapidly."

A black-winged spirit ship pierced the sky, and numerous figures with vast auras stood within it, discussing amongst themselves.

However, the Nascent Soul experts on the Black Winged Spirit Boat seemed not to see the azure phantom that appeared in front of the spirit boat. They continued to accelerate the spirit boat forward until it crushed over the azure phantom and rushed into the depths of the sea. As for the azure phantom, it remained standing in the same place without any change.

Upon closer inspection, the space around the cyan figure appears distorted, as if it were hidden deep within space, isolated from the world.

"It seems the Ghost King Sect has gained new allies!"

Looking at the massive fleet of spirit ships constantly traversing the surrounding seas, Li Qing's gaze shifted slightly.

Upon returning to the Southern Moon Sea, he immediately learned about the entire battlefield situation.

It can only be said that his return to the cultivation world in the eastern sea was perfectly timed, just in time for the Ghost King Sect to break the old peace agreement and start another catastrophe.

The fact that the Ghost King Sect made such a decision despite knowing his strength clearly indicates that they had found a way to deal with him.

"You asked for this!"

In an instant, a cold glint flashed in Li Qing's eyes.

Before returning, he had already considered how to deal with the two hidden threats, the Golden Demon Kingdom and the Ghost King Sect.

For example, should we launch a new war to severely damage the Golden Demon Kingdom and the Ghost King Sect in one fell swoop? This would at least ensure that the Golden Demon Kingdom and the Ghost King Sect completely lose their qualification to threaten the cultivation world of the Eastern Heaven and Earth before the Ghost King Sect Master and the Golden Demon Kingdom's Golden Sun Dragon Lord can truly show themselves.

This way, the peace and stability of the cultivation world in the eastern region can be guaranteed for at least a thousand years. Even if he has to leave in the future, he will not have to worry about the safety of the rear.

Unexpectedly, before he could make up his mind, the Ghost King Sect took the initiative to come to his door.

Since that's the case, he certainly won't hold back.

The entire cultivation world in the Eastern Realm has now been mobilized, presenting an excellent opportunity.

"I want to see what other surprises the Ghost King Sect can bring me besides that old friend from the Sword Jade Sect!"

During the last cataclysmic war, he had only just advanced to the late Nascent Soul stage. His foundation, whether in terms of cultivation or the inheritance of techniques, was still incomplete. Therefore, when faced with the combined forces of the First Venerable of the Golden Demon Kingdom and that Sword Jade, he could only rely on the Kunpeng Secret Technique to reach a peace agreement with them.

But he is no longer the same person he used to be.

After his journey through the Demonfall Space, he has undergone a new transformation, with significant improvements in both his cultivation and other abilities.

Moreover, Zhenhai Pearl has been revived, and now he has no more scruples.

Although Li Qing has not yet reached the peak of the late Nascent Soul stage, his current understanding of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth is far beyond that of ordinary late Nascent Soul stage cultivators.

During his more than thirty years of seclusion before returning to the Eastern Heaven and Earth Immortal Cultivation Realm, he successfully used the Great Dao feedback after the evolution of the Zhenhai Pearl to elevate the branch of the Water Element Great Dao power he had mastered to a new level.

He gained a deeper understanding of the already perfected Dao of Water Abyss. In addition, the Dao of Water Heavy, which is related to his advancement to the peak of the later stage, is also becoming more and more perfect. As for the subsequent Dao of Surge, Dao of Water Corrosion, Dao of Water Life, Dao of Water Purification, and Dao of Water Control, they have all improved to different degrees.

He even unexpectedly comprehended a new branch of the Water Path – the Path of Water Sharpness.

Li Qing has now mastered eight branches of the Water System Great Dao.

These are the Water Abyss Path, which has been perfected; the Water Heavy Path, which is close to perfection; and the other Water Surge Path, Water Corrosion Path, Water Life Path, Water Purification Path, Water Control Path, and the newly mastered Water Sharpness Path.

Based on this alone, it can be said to be extremely rare in the entire sealed land.

Normally, when a cultivator breaks through from the mid-Nascent Soul stage to the peak of the mid-Nascent Soul stage, they will at most master two or three different branches of the Great Dao. Afterwards, they will specialize in one branch until they reach perfection and enter the late stage. Even when they are trying to break through to the peak of the late stage, they will choose one of the branches of the Great Dao they have mastered, rather than trying to comprehend more branches of the Great Dao. After all, the time and energy consumed in comprehending each branch of the Great Dao is unimaginable, and it is even possible that one will not be able to make any progress in their entire life.

But Li Qing is different.

Each evolution of the Zhenhai Pearl allows him to gain a deeper understanding of the mysteries of the Great Dao, which is why he now masters eight branches of the Water Dao.

Although Li Qing may appear to be at the late Nascent Soul stage, his foundation is unmatched by other late Nascent Soul cultivators in the outside world.

Those different branches of the Great Dao power have all become his Dao foundation.

"Judging from this situation, even if I have no intention of continuing to comprehend other branches of the water-based Great Dao, I'm afraid that the feedback from the Zhenhai Pearl alone would be enough for me to master at least ten different branches of the Great Dao!"

A faint smile appeared on Li Qing's lips.

That's his greatest source of confidence.

For him, the Zhenhai Pearl was a cultivation cheat accelerator. While other powerful figures outside were still working hard to close their doors and comprehend the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, he could easily push his comprehension of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth to a deeper level with the power of the Zhenhai Pearl.

"Having just emerged from seclusion, I'm in dire need of new experience. Don't let me down!"

Li Qing moved slightly, transforming once again into a cyan phantom hidden in space, and accelerated into the battlefield.
-
Fangqiu Island battlefield.

A vast, ghostly mist shrouded the heavens and earth, transforming it into a ghostly realm.

The two hundred-foot-tall, one-horned ghost spirits exuded a sinister aura, their originally illusory ghostly bodies becoming incredibly solid and heavy, like some kind of ancient creature that had been resurrected.

"Attack with all your might immediately!"

The leader, the Dry-Skinned Demon Lord, shouted sharply.

Dark demonic runes lit up his body, and his entire demonic form instantly twisted. With each twist, a layer of demonic skin would peel off, splitting into four withered demonic skin clones.

Under Guan Ming's watchful gaze.

The four withered demonic skins expanded simultaneously, each releasing a powerful torrent of demonic energy, and surprisingly, they all exuded the power of the peak mid-stage Nascent Soul realm.

The Dry Skin Demon Lord charged toward Guan Ming with four demon skin clones, while on the other side, two peak Nascent Soul stage demon cultivators simultaneously controlled two ancient unicorn ghost spirits with cultivation levels approaching the late fourth stage, launching an attack from the side.

In an instant, a fierce battle broke out.

The Dry Skin Demon Lord and the others seemed to be worried that Guan Ming would have reinforcements, so they went all out from the start and dared not hold back in the slightest.

After all, their opponent this time was no ordinary opponent. Not only was he powerful, but more importantly, he had a special identity. He was the disciple of the master of the cultivation world in the eastern sea. Once he was in danger, a powerful figure would definitely come to his aid. Therefore, they had to hurry.

However, he was naturally unaware that Guan Ming had no intention of seeking help.

In the dark and ghostly realm.

Guan Ming stood in mid-air, looking at the oncoming attacks from all sides, his face completely calm.

"We must end this battle as soon as possible!"

He took in the chaotic battlefield above Fangqiu Island in the distance.

Although the Ghost King Sect's objective in this operation was him, the balance of power on the distant battlefield still clearly showed that the garrison was at a disadvantage. If the battle dragged on for too long, the garrison might suffer heavy losses.

"Eternal night!"

Guan Ming's calm eyes instantly turned completely black. He then began to directly use his newly mastered and strongest technique, the ancestral rune witchcraft that the ancient dark witch clan expert had comprehended.

Endless darkness, centered on light, enveloped the entire eerie battlefield shrouded in ghostly mist. The once fiercely roaring battlefield instantly transformed into a pitch-black, silent world.

"This is!"

The Dry-skinned Demon Lord's expression changed drastically in an instant.

But their destination had vanished, leaving only endless darkness ahead.

More importantly, in this dark world, all his senses were rapidly dissipating, and even his divine sense would be swallowed up by the endless darkness once it was released.

"How is that possible? He's only at the peak of the mid-stage Nascent Soul realm, how could he possibly possess such power!"

As he approached the late Nascent Soul stage, a sense of panic began to rise within him.

Although the surrounding dark world did not unleash terrifying pressure, its power was already in harmony with the Great Dao, far beyond what a peak mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator could control.

More importantly, he couldn't even sense where the other party was right now, and had completely lost his target.

But before he could think any further...

A figure in black robes has already made his appearance.

From afar, the figure in black robes blended into the entire dark world, like the embodiment of the dark path. Even though it was right in front of him, he still couldn't sense its presence.

"retreat!"

Without the slightest hesitation, the Dry-Skinned Demon Lord made a decisive decision.

He is not a member of the Ghost King Sect, and he would never risk his life for the Ghost King Sect.

Moreover, based solely on the methods the opponent is currently employing, they are already in an invincible position.

The four demonic skin avatars that were originally on his left and right instantly converged towards the Dry Skin Demon Lord. Their twisted, dark demonic bodies seemed to be wearing four layers of black demonic skin armor, and then they burst out with even stronger demonic light before fleeing rapidly to the rear.

"I want to escape, but it's too late!"

Guan Ming's expression was indifferent as he gently waved his hand.

The entire dark world instantly transformed, and the vast darkness enveloped the Dry Skin Demon Lord.

"not good!"

The Dry-Skinned Demon Lord felt his soul tremble, as if he were covered by layers of black veils, and he could not even keep his mind clear.

Furthermore, he felt as if he had lost his connection with the outside world, as if he had fallen into a bottomless abyss, unable to even discern simple directions.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
Silent, thick, dark light emanated from every corner, appearing as sharp blades or chains, instantly sealing off all of the Dry-Skinned Demon Lord's escape routes.

"open!"

A magical artifact, a Yuan Wheel filled with sharp teeth, flew out, instantly growing larger and then accelerating its rotation, as if to tear apart the surrounding thick, dark light. However, the shattered dark light still rushed towards the Dry Skin Demon Lord through every tiny gap.

"no no!"

The Dry-Skinned Demon Lord looked terrified.

The layers of magical light shield around him were instantly pierced, and countless tiny dark rays of light pierced his body like thousands of needles.

boom! boom!
Just then, a loud explosion suddenly occurred around the Dry Skin Demon Lord, and a black afterimage took the opportunity to break out of the encirclement.

"interesting!"

Guan Ming's eyes flickered slightly.

The four demonic skin avatars that appeared earlier were like substitute puppets for the Dry Skin Demon Lord. The one that just self-destructed was one of the demonic skins. As for the Dry Skin Demon Lord, he took the opportunity to escape.

"But you still have a few chances to escape!"

call!call!
Before the Dry-Skinned Demon Lord could continue his escape, thick beams of dark light descended once more.

the other side.

Within the dark world, two other Nascent Soul stage peak demonic cultivators, who controlled a massive, ancient, one-horned ghost spirit, gathered together in a panic.

At this moment, the two of them were like prisoners awaiting death, filled with nothing but fear and despair.

The entire dark world swallowed up all their senses. At this moment, they couldn't even evacuate. They didn't know where to go. There was only silent darkness around them, and no direction.

As for the two ancient unicorn ghost spirits that were approaching the late stage of the fourth rank, they were completely rendered useless.

Even the enemy couldn't be seen, and the two one-horned ghost spirits were unable to exert their power.

at the same time.

They both felt their souls growing increasingly sluggish, as a vast darkness was constantly eroding everything around them.

It wasn't until a figure dressed in a black Taoist robe appeared that the two of them snapped out of their daze.

"The Dry-Skinned Demon Lord is already waiting for you in the cycle of reincarnation. Go down and join him!"

Just as the two Nascent Soul stage peak demonic cultivators were about to control the ancient unicorn ghost spirit to rebel, they felt the endless darkness assimilate their souls. The guardian soul treasures deep within their sea of ​​consciousness were rendered useless, unable to withstand the engulfing darkness.

The outer perimeter of the battlefield on Fangqiu Island.

call!call!
A thick, long beam of spiritual light pierced through the heavens and earth, as if it were about to crush space, radiating a terrifying pressure.

"It's Ancestor Qin Wen!"

On the battlefield of Fangqiu Island, many Nascent Soul cultivators immediately recognized the newcomer as Qin Wen, the patriarch of the Qin family of the Daoyuan Chamber of Commerce, who was stationed at the rear of the battlefield.

In an instant, the situation on the originally brutal battlefield changed dramatically.

The Nascent Soul demon cultivators began to flee frantically to save their lives.

At this moment, Ancestor Qin Wen paid no attention to the fleeing Nascent Soul demonic cultivators, but instead rushed away into the distance with a tense expression.

"Fortunately, it seems that Junior Nephew Guan Ming is unharmed!"

Seeing that the dark world in the distance showed no signs of collapsing, Ancestor Qin Wen finally felt relieved.

Logically speaking, he shouldn't be on the battlefield at this moment, since the Ghost King Sect hasn't directly used its late-stage Nascent Soul level combat power yet, which can be considered a tacit rule maintained by both sides.

But the person who got into trouble was that junior disciple Guan Ming. If anything happened to him, not only would he be unable to explain it to Guan Ming, but the entire Daoyuan Chamber of Commerce would also be unable to explain it to him.

"Don't panic, nephew! I'm here to help you!"

Just as Ancestor Qin Wen landed, the entire dark world slowly dispersed, leaving only a young figure in black robes visible between heaven and earth.
