The Rise of the Sect: I am the most persistent person in the world of immortal cultivation

Seeing the demon ancestor on the Xuan Tian Starship running amok, everyone broke out in a cold sweat.

They all looked tense.

Despite being prepared, the terrifying pressure of the Thunder Tribulation Realm was still far beyond their imagination, and a sense of dread inevitably rose in everyone's hearts.

After all, reaching this level means one has almost reached the pinnacle of the cultivation world.

Even though this Thunder Tribulation Demon Ancestor's cultivation had been suppressed to the Nascent Soul Dao Realm, he was still extremely ferocious.

Within the torn spatial rift, ten thousand streaks of purplish-black demonic lightning danced wildly like living creatures, each carrying a world-destroying pressure.

Where the lightning receded, layers upon layers of illusory bubbles burst open, revealing countless ferocious demonic eyes, each pupil reflecting slaughter.

"Fellow Daoists, please help me!"

Yu Qingzi's voice was like a booming bell. He was the first to fly out, and his Taoist robe billowed up, creating a misty blue protective barrier.

Thanks to the treatment from Ye Yang and Qingnang Immortal Granny, Yu Qingzi's injuries have improved considerably. He noticed everyone's concerns and took the lead in flying out.

Upon seeing Yu Qingzi fly out, everyone hurriedly revealed their figures from the void.

A dozen or so people formed a circle around the demon ancestor, trapping him inside.

However, upon seeing the crowd surrounding him, the Demon Ancestor showed no fear, but instead suddenly burst into deafening laughter.

A terrifying shadow, obscuring the sky, slowly materialized behind them.

His gaze, looking down upon all living beings, was full of mockery. When his scarlet pupils swept over Ye Yang and the others, it was as if he were looking at a group of ants.

"A bunch of reptiles dare to ambush me? They're like a mantis trying to stop a chariot!"

Before he finished speaking, the Thunder Tribulation Demon Ancestor flicked a wisp of demonic light from his fingertip.

The light, though seemingly thin, instantly tore through three layers of spatial barriers, transforming into a torrential downpour of countless demonic blades.

In an instant, the spiritual energy of the entire Xuan Tian Star Ruins was forcibly drawn in and poured into the formation as a torrent.

The demonic energy surrounding him was gradually dissolved by the golden light.

The frantic bombardment of the formation only caused the void to buzz.

His aura continued to rise, but he had not yet reached the Refinement of Emptiness realm.

The Xuan Tian Starship suddenly began to tremble violently.
Ancient runes on the ship's hull lit up one by one, gradually weaving into an invisible net.

Enveloped by the vast net, the surging demonic energy around him rapidly subsided like a receding tide.

The imposing aura of the blood-red robe fluttering without wind suddenly froze.

The old demon's crimson pupils contracted slightly as he sensed the cultivation level within his body being forcibly suppressed.

"An ancient restriction from the Xuan Tian Sect? What a pity."

He suddenly looked up, his gaze slashing across everyone's faces like a knife.

"I have traversed the starry sea for three thousand years; how could I be trapped by such a mere restriction?"

"So what if you've been suppressed to the Nascent Soul Dao Realm? I can still kill you all!"

Before he could finish speaking, the Thunder Tribulation Demon suddenly transformed into a blood-red shadow.

Before the fortune teller could even finish his divination, the seven copper coins were blasted into dust in mid-air.

The fortune teller, skilled in divination, remained in shock as a pale hand pierced his chest.

But he was already dead.

"I despise you pretentious charlatans the most in my life!"

The old demon withdrew his bloodied arm, and the fortune teller's corpse fell like a tattered rag.

The blood splattered on the divination robe began to writhe strangely, turning into fine blood threads that crawled back to the old demon's fingertips.

"Fellow Daoists, form the formation!"

Yu Qingzi's eyes were wide with rage, and he flicked his whisk, sending out thousands of silver threads.

The Sea and Sky Taoist simultaneously unleashed twelve bone nails, forming a terrifying killing array in the air.

The Ice Fairy formed hand seals and unleashed nine Ice Soul Needles to seal off the old demon's retreat.

The old demon chuckled, and his figure suddenly blurred.

The silver threads, bone nails, and ice needles pierced through each other, leaving only a blurry afterimage.

The real figure in the blood-red robe appeared like a ghost behind the Dragon Tiger Daoist, his hands like knives piercing into the backs of the two brothers.

"Ugh!"

Brother Longhu roared and turned around, but the dragon-shaped phantom was completely corroded by the blood-red demonic energy before it could take shape.

The younger brother's tiger roar abruptly stopped, and the old demon clenched his five fingers, crushing the two still-beating hearts into a bloody mist.

"Ants are just ants."

The battle had barely begun when three of our team members were killed by the enemy.

Everyone could see clearly that although this Thunder Tribulation Demon Lord's cultivation was at the Nascent Soul Dao Realm.

But after all, he was once a Daoist of Thunder Tribulation.

Both his vision and his abilities far exceed what people imagine.

"Although my cultivation level has been suppressed, I have accumulated three thousand years of battles and three thousand years of cultivation!"

"How could you greenhorns like you compare?"

Ye Yang's pupils suddenly contracted.

He slashed out with the Evil King Blade and the Void Crimson Lotus Sword, unleashing countless sword lights and shadows that cascaded down like a silver river.

The old demon neither dodged nor avoided, letting the boundless sharpness sever his blood-stained robe.

On the skin exposed beneath the tattered fabric, countless magical patterns shimmered with a dark red light.

"Ding!"

The next moment, the sword pierced through the blood-stained robe and struck the old demon directly in the neck.

However, the scene of the body being dismembered, as imagined, did not occur.

When the two collided, they produced a metallic clang.

The force of the recoil caused Ye Yang's tiger's mouth to split open, and his internal star apertures trembled violently.

"Remnants of the Xuantian Sect?"

Just as Ye Yang made his move, the old demon seemed to sense something, flicked his fingers to send the swords flying, and with a wave of his hands, he arrived beside Ye Yang with thousands of demonic energies.

"The little bugs that weren't completely eradicated back then have reappeared."

When the feeling of suffocation comes over you.

Ye Yang's 365 acupoints suddenly started operating on their own.

The Star Soul Lamp flew out from between the eyebrows, and the Big Dipper spun wildly in the flame.

The old demon released his grip in pain, and seven charred marks appeared on his palm.

"interesting."

The old demon narrowed his eyes, about to deliver another fatal blow.

With a loud bang!

Yu Qingzi made a hand seal, and the silver whisk in his hands suddenly exploded, shooting out thousands of rays of light.

The impact of the self-destruction of this natal artifact finally forced the old demon to retreat three steps.

"You are courting death."

Before he could finish speaking, the old demon's blood-red sleeves fluttered.

Yu Qingzi deflected all the thousands of silver lights that shot out from his self-destructed whisk.

With a single punch, white light appeared in the void.

Yu Qingzi's chest suddenly caved in, and the spurting blood congealed into a terrifying ghost face in mid-air.

Hai Tian Dao Ren roared and charged forward.

All twelve of his natal bone nails shattered, resulting only in a brief stiffening of the old demon's right arm.

"Please accept the incense!"

Countless spiritual herbs flew out of the Qingnang Immortal Granny's medicine basket to heal everyone, but the fragrance of the herbs was immediately swept away by the Thunder Tribulation Old Demon.

He's going to break through the protective barriers of the Xuan Tian Starship!

The Immortal Granny Qingnang had just cried out in surprise when, before she had gone far, the void in front of her was shattered by crimson lightning.

"Everyone!"

Yu Qingzi bled from all seven orifices, and transmitted his voice secretly.

"Although the old demon's cultivation level has been suppressed, his understanding of the laws of heaven and earth remains, so we still need to be careful."

The old demon of lightning tribulation slowly stood up, and with each step he took, spiderweb-like cracks spread across the deck of the starship.

"The game is over."

His blood-red robes fluttered in the wind as the old demon formed an ancient hand seal.

The entire Xuan Tian Starship suddenly tilted violently, and countless sealing runes peeled off the hull.

Although the Thunder Tribulation Demon was suppressed to the Nascent Soul Dao Realm, his combat experience and demonic cultivation still far exceeded everyone's expectations.

"Form ranks! Don't run away, or this old demon will defeat you one by one."

"No matter what, we can't give him a chance to catch his breath!"

The Ice Fairy formed hand seals, and nine Ice Soul Needles shot out, aiming straight for the old demon's major acupoints.

However, the old demon merely let out a sinister laugh.

"ridiculous!"

The next moment, he neither dodged nor avoided, letting the ice needles pierce his body.

His body surged with demonic energy, and countless Ice Soul Needles were forced out and shot back towards the Ice Fairy!

"puff!"

The Ice Fairy let out a muffled groan as her own ice needle pierced her shoulder, instantly freezing the blood into ice crystals.

Taking advantage of the situation, the old demon lunged forward and struck her on the top of the head with a palm!

Ye Yang was standing behind the Ice Fairy. Upon seeing this, he drew his Evil King Blade with a clang, its light cascading like a silver river, and slashed straight at the old demon's wrist.

"clang!"

The blade clashed with the demonic hand, sparks flying everywhere.

The old demon's arm trembled slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Young man, your knife..."

Before he finished speaking, Ye Yang's sword stance had already changed.

With a slight tremor of his other hand, the Taixu Red Lotus Sword transformed into countless sword shadows, stabbing wildly.

The years flow by, the sword lies hidden, a carefree and fierce journey through the mortal world!
The sword techniques that had not been used for many years reappeared in Ye Yang's hands.

Faced with such a formidable enemy, he held nothing back and immediately unleashed his most powerful and secret weapon.

Only in this way can we gain a moment's respite.

"boom!"

Sword flashes like rain, knife flashes like silk.

The old demon was finally forced back half a step, but then burst into wild laughter.

"Good! Good! This is more interesting!"

"cut!"

Ye Yang combined his sword and saber, the Evil King Saber and the Crimson Lotus Sword, to create a destructive storm of blades.

The old demon's body was slashed with countless cracks, and he took a step back, but he was still unharmed. And that was enough.

As long as someone is injured or retreats, they give everyone hope of victory.

He would no longer be invincible.

At this moment, the Sea Heaven Taoist unleashed countless Netherworld Fires.

The Ice Fairy unleashed countless icy chains, simultaneously binding his limbs.

Meanwhile, the others launched their attacks simultaneously.

"die!"

The old demon of lightning tribulation remained calm and unhurried. He suddenly opened his mouth and spat out a blood-red demonic pearl, from which roars the cries of countless wronged souls.

The demonic orb exploded, transforming into a towering wave of blood that instantly engulfed everyone!

"what!"

Amidst screams, two more cultivators were corroded by the blood waves, their flesh decaying and turning into bones.

"We can't delay it any longer!"

Yu Qingzi gritted his teeth, bit his tongue hard, and spat out a mouthful of blood. Suddenly, a crimson sword appeared behind him.

"Crimson Sky Sword!"

The moment the Crimson Sky Sword was drawn, the world changed color!

The sword was blood-red, with streaks of purple lightning crackling around its blade, as if it contained a world of thunder.

The sword's cry resounded through the sky, causing the entire Xuan Tian Starship to tremble.

"The Supreme Void Daoist Sect's top-grade Dao artifact—Crimson Sky?!"

Everyone's pupils contracted sharply, and their voices trembled slightly.

Legend has it that this sword was forged by the Taixu Dao Ancestor of the Taixu Dao Sect in the past, and was tempered for a thousand years by the Nine Heavens Thunder Tribulation. It can cleave stars with a single strike!
The Ice Fairy's beautiful eyes widened in shock, and she murmured.

"I never expected... that Senior Yuqingzi would bring this sword out with him!"

The old demon of lightning's crimson pupils suddenly contracted, and for the first time, a trace of solemnity appeared on his face.

"The Crimson Sky Sword... The Taixu Dao Sect actually allowed you to bring it out?"

Yu Qingzi's face was pale, and blood was trickling from the corner of his mouth, but his eyes were sharper than ever before.

He held the sword in both hands, his spiritual energy burning wildly around him, and he seemed to transform into a blazing sun!
"Old Demon, today I'll show you the true power of the Taixu Dao Sect!"

Before he could finish speaking, the Crimson Sky Sword slashed down fiercely!

"boom!!!"

A crimson sword light traversed the heavens and earth, and wherever it passed, countless sword lights roared forth.

The old demon of lightning roared, and his demonic energy condensed wildly around him.

Then it transformed into a pitch-black demonic shield, upon which thousands of ferocious demonic faces appeared, roaring as they met the sword light!

"boom!"

The sword light collided with the magic shield, and a terrifying shockwave swept in all directions.
The deck of the Xuan Tian Starship was instantly blown off by more than half, and countless rune restrictions shattered in the aftershocks!

"Crack!"

A crack appeared in the magic shield, and the Crimson Sky Sword Light seized the opportunity to enter, slashing fiercely at the old demon's chest!

"what!!!"

The old demon of lightning let out a shrill roar as a deep, bone-revealing wound was slashed open in his chest.

Black blood gushed out, and crimson lightning continuously eroded the wound, preventing the demonic energy from healing!
"It's a success?!" Everyone was shocked.

However, before they could even rejoice...

Yu Qingzi suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, staggered backward, and the light of the Crimson Sky Sword dimmed instantly.

His face was deathly pale, and his breath was extremely weak.

"senior!"

Ye Yang hurriedly stepped forward to help him up and channeled a stream of magical power into his body, and Yu Qingzi's complexion finally regained some color.

"The Crimson Sky Sword is powerful, but activating it requires consuming my life essence. I... can't hold on any longer..."

Although the old demon of lightning was injured, the fierce light in his eyes became even more violent.

He looked down at the wound on his chest and grinned maliciously.

"What a fine Crimson Sky Sword... Too bad, you can't kill me!"

However, Ye Yang keenly sensed something.

After the Crimson Sky Sword entered his body, the aura emanating from the Thunder Tribulation Demon was gradually decreasing.

It was not as unscathed as one might imagine.

"It's now!"

Ye Yang's eyes flashed with cold light, and his internal star apertures operated wildly, causing the Evil King Blade and the Void Red Lotus Sword to once again unleash their ultimate brilliance.

"The blade flows through the years, the sword is hidden in the void, traversing heaven and earth!"

"A carefree and fierce warrior descends to the mortal world!"

The flashing blades and clashing swords intertwined to create an unparalleled killing move, like a cascading galaxy or a vast expanse of mortal dust, instantly engulfing the old demon!

"Ah! Ah! Ah!"

This time, after the swords and blades pierced his body, the old demon was no longer as unharmed as before.

Finally, it let out a shrill roar, its demonic body was slashed open with countless cracks, and black blood splattered everywhere.

But he did not fall; instead, he grinned maliciously.

"You...cannot kill me!"

"Then come again!"

Hai Tian Dao Ren roared and actually destroyed one of his arms, which transformed into a giant seal that covered the sky and burned the old demon with the flames of the Netherworld.

The Ice Fairy endured her injuries, formed hand seals, and retrieved the scattered Ice Soul Needles, transforming them into extremely cold chains that tightly bound the old demon's limbs.

Meanwhile, the others gathered all their strength and charged forward frantically.

"die!"

Ye Yang unleashed a final horizontal slash with the Evil King Blade, while the Taixu Red Lotus Sword pierced through the old demon's brow, only to be caught by the demon's gaping maw.

At that moment, the attacks from the others arrived.

In particular, the Heaven-Covering Giant Seal of the Sea and Sky Daoist fiercely suppressed the opponent, pinning him beneath it.

"boom!"

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Ye Yang turned the Evil King Blade around and plunged it into the man's forehead.

The demonic energy exploded.

The old demon stared blankly, seemingly in disbelief.

They wanted to use other methods, but it was too late; countless attacks poured down like fireworks.

His massive body disintegrated inch by inch, and soon turned into a shower of black blood that splattered on the ground.

Everyone was now at their limit.

Yu Qingzi was weak and listless, Hai Tian Dao Ren was kneeling on the ground, and Bing Shan Xian Zi was pale and almost unable to stand.

Ye Yang leaned on his sword, panting heavily, his eyes still filled with lingering fear.

"The Thunder Tribulation Demon... is indeed terrifying. Even though it was suppressed to the Nascent Soul Dao Realm, it almost wiped out our entire army..."

Perhaps it was the death of the Thunder Tribulation Ancestor.

After absorbing the vital energy and blood essence of the Thunder Tribulation Ancestor, the Xuan Tian Star Ruins trembled violently.

The brilliant dome of Xuantian Star Ruins cracked like a mirror, and the starlight was swallowed up by the blood-red mist.

The decaying vegetation instantly turned to ashes, and the withered vines fell in a flurry.

The air was filled with a pungent dust and a fishy, ​​sweet smell.

In the distance, a huge blood-red sun slowly rose, its crimson light turning the entire secret realm into a battlefield of carnage, a scene of apocalypse that sent chills down one's spine.

The boulder shattered with a deafening roar, sending fragments flying everywhere and billowing smoke and dust like a thick fog.

Black blood spilled onto the deck, and the demonic energy gradually dissipated, but the suffocating sense of oppression still seemed to linger in everyone's hearts.

Yu Qingzi sat cross-legged on the ground, his face as pale as paper, with blood still wet at the corner of his mouth.

He slowly closed his eyes, his mind replaying the old demon's earth-shattering palm strike.

That palm strike, though seemingly simple, contained the ultimate control of the surrounding space by the being undergoing the tribulation of lightning.

"I see……"

Suddenly, Yu Qingzi's body trembled, and his aura changed abruptly.

The previously sluggish spiritual energy surged like a tide, actually condensing into a phantom thundercloud above his head!
"Yu Qingzi is about to break through?!"

Hai Tian Dao Ren exclaimed in surprise.

Everyone was astonished to see Yu Qingzi's white hair moving without wind, and a lightning pattern appearing between his brows.

His spiritual energy surged wildly, with faint signs of lightning and fire intertwining.

"Thunder Tribulation Realm..."

The Ice Fairy murmured, "He's trying to comprehend the old demon's tribulation power!"

Yu Qingzi suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze flashing with what seemed like lightning.

He took a deep breath and said hoarsely.

"Although the old demon is dead, his palm strike... showed me the threshold of the lightning tribulation."

Everyone was shocked. The Thunder Tribulation Realm was a semi-immortal realm that had survived the Pure Yang Thunder and Fire Calamity!
Ye Yang also stood quietly at the bow of the ship, with the Evil King Blade stuck at his side and the Taixu Red Lotus Sword lying horizontally in front of his knees.

He closed his eyes and concentrated, the battle with the old demon of lightning tribulation replaying in his mind.

Even though the demon was suppressed to the Nascent Soul Dao Realm, every move he made still contained unparalleled mystery.

His Blood Soul Silk did not simply devour, but rather used demonic runes to manipulate the power of heaven and earth.

His movements appeared ghostly, but in fact they conformed to the laws of space.

Even his final act of forcibly summoning the power of the lightning tribulation shook Ye Yang to his core.

"Refining the Void... what is Refining the Void?"

Ye Yang's 365 star apertures operated on their own, the Star Soul Lamp floated above his head, and the Big Dipper in the lamp flame slowly rotated.

He suddenly realized.

The old demon's battles were not simply about overwhelming strength, but rather about his understanding of magic and space far surpassing that of others!
"boom."

Ye Yang's star apertures suddenly lit up, and his spiritual power surged like a river, as if he had faintly touched some threshold.

"Fellow Daoist Ye has also touched the bottleneck of the Void Refinement Realm!"

The Fairy of the Green Bag lost her voice.

Now, after the great battle.

Ye Yang finally felt that he had reached a breakthrough opportunity.

And it wasn't just Ye Yang; after this life-or-death battle, they annihilated the old demon of the lightning tribulation.

Everyone was struck by a sudden realization.

Hai Tian Dao Ren sat cross-legged, his brows furrowed.

The Ice Fairy calculated with her fingers, and the icy power around her grew even stronger.

Inside the entire Xuan Tian Starship, an unprecedented opportunity for enlightenment arose from a life-or-death battle! (End of Chapter)
