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

As Ye Yang followed the Dao Alliance elder into the plaza, his brows furrowed the moment his gaze swept across the area.

At this moment, hundreds of cultivators lay sprawled on the bluestone slabs in the square.

Some of them convulsed all over, their skin stained dark black by demonic energy, their fingernails glowing with an eerie blue light, and they let out unconscious roars.

Some had a weak aura, like a candle flickering in the wind, their chests heaving violently, and black demonic energy could be vaguely seen running wildly through their meridians, on the verge of being completely devoured of their consciousness.

For a while.

The air was filled with a pungent, demonic stench and the painful groans of the cultivators, and even the surrounding spiritual energy became murky and stagnant.

Upon seeing this, Ye Yang slowly shook his head and sighed inwardly.

This time, the demonic tide attacked far too quickly.

These cultivators were caught off guard and thus vulnerable to the demonic energy.

If we delay any longer, I'm afraid half of them will become puppets of demonic energy.

"go with!"

The next moment, Ye Yang no longer hesitated.

He took two steps forward and stood firmly in the center of the square, his feet shoulder-width apart, and slowly raised his hands, palms facing each other.

"Draw true water to cleanse evil spirits!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Yang let out a deep shout, and his Dao power surged suddenly.

Immediately afterwards, countless cyan rays burst forth from his body, spreading outwards like ripples, instantly dispelling the turbid spiritual energy above the square.

As the power of Dao circulated, drops of crystal-clear water gradually condensed in Ye Yang's palm.

As soon as these water droplets appeared, they emitted a refreshing scent. Instantly, the water vapor around the square seemed to be drawn towards the water droplets by an invisible force.

His fingertips moved quickly, his hands forming intricate hand seals, and he chanted incantations.

The Dao power within his body flowed like a rushing river, continuously pouring into the water droplets in his palm.

Nourished by the power of the Dao, the water droplet grew larger at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In the blink of an eye, it turned into a fist-sized ball of water.

The surface of the water sphere shimmered with iridescent light, containing not only the pure power of heaven and earth's true water, but also the purifying aura unique to the water vein alchemy method. As it was gently rotated, one could faintly hear the sound of flowing water.

Ye Yang suddenly raised his arm, throwing the water ball into the air, while simultaneously forming hand seals again and shouting.

"Disperse!"

With Ye Yang's command.

High in the sky, countless water droplets exploded instantly, turning into a sky full of fine water vapor.

Ye Yang's eyes narrowed slightly, and he activated his Dao power once more, pointing his fingertip at the water vapor.

"Congeal!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the mist in the sky instantly condensed into countless tiny raindrops under the control of the Dao power.

These raindrops, crystal clear and shimmering with a faint radiance, fell from the sky like pearls, forming a blanket of sweet rain covering the entire square.

"Zizi!"

As soon as the raindrops landed on the cultivator tainted by demonic energy, they immediately emitted a faint sound.

Countless black demonic energies melted away rapidly, like ice and snow encountering a raging fire, turning into wisps of black smoke and dissipating into the air.

Meanwhile, the convulsions of a middle-aged cultivator shrouded in black mist gradually ceased under the nourishment of the rain, and his cloudy eyes slowly regained their luster.

He took a deep breath, weakly propped himself up on the ground, and sat up, his voice hoarse.

"This is... the power of purification! Thank you, Dao Ancestor Ye, for saving my life!"

Ye Yang stood amidst the rain, continuously channeling his Dao power through his hands to maintain the rain's descent.

His movements were steady and powerful. Every hand seal and every burst of Dao power was precise, demonstrating the profound mystery of the Water Vein Alchemy Method to the fullest extent.

As the rain continued to fall, more and more cultivators broke free from the erosion of demonic energy.

His breathing gradually stabilized, and his eyes gradually regained their clarity.

These people struggled to their feet and bowed in respect to Ye Yang.

Su Wanqing stood at the edge of the square, watching this shocking scene with eyes full of awe.

She had heard that this senior was famous for his water vein alchemy method before he entered the Nascent Soul Dao Realm, but she had never had the chance to meet him.

Seeing how powerfully the other party purified the demonic energy today, I finally realized the extraordinary nature of that water vein alchemy method.

At this moment, Ye Yang stood amidst the abundant, sweet rain.

His blue Taoist robe was soaked by the rain, yet he still stood tall and straight.

A moment later, he wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Just as Ye Yang was about to finish his practice, he suddenly caught a glimpse of something behind a stone pillar on the east side of the square out of the corner of his eye.

Behind that stone pillar, several figures were huddled together.

These figures appeared no different from other injured cultivators, yet in a corner unnoticed by anyone, they secretly observed the surrounding movements with their eyes, and faint demonic energy still lingered on their bodies.

"He's actually a disguised demonic cultivator!"

Ye Yang's eyes turned cold, and the sword intent that he had just restrained surged instantly, with azure light enveloping his entire body once again.

He made no extra movements, simply raising his hand towards the east and making a grasping motion in the air.

moment!

As if sensing its master's will, the Azure Dragon Sky-Splitting Sword at his waist was instantly drawn, transforming into a streak of azure light that pierced through the air.

"Puff puff!"

Three soft sounds rang out almost simultaneously.

Before the three disguised demonic cultivators could react, the cyan sword energy had already pierced through their foreheads.

These people didn't even have time to let out a scream before their bodies were transformed into black mist and dissipated under the purifying power of the sword energy, leaving only three corpses behind.

Followed by.

Ye Yang flicked his wrist, and the Azure Dragon Sky-Splitting Sword spun in the air, carrying the three corpses back to his hand, where they were quickly absorbed and refined by the Evil King Blade.

Immediately afterwards, Ye Yang spread his divine sense across the entire square once more.

Soon, he discovered two more demon cultivators trying to sneak away.

The two people were crouching low, using the artificial hill as cover, and slowly moving towards the outside of the square.

"go with!"

Ye Yang's figure blurred, and the Evil King Blade and Azure Dragon Sky-Splitting Sword flew out from behind him instantly, appearing beside the two demon cultivators in the blink of an eye.

Upon seeing this, the two demonic cultivators were terrified and turned to retaliate with their weapons.

But they hadn't realized what was happening yet.

Ye Yang flicked his wrist, and the Azure Dragon Sky-Splitting Sword swept out, countless azure sword energies flashing like bolts of lightning, instantly severing the magical artifacts in their hands.

Immediately afterwards, Ye Yang formed a sword shape with his left hand, and a condensed cyan sword intent shot out, aiming straight for the throat of one of the demonic cultivators.

"Click" sound!
The demonic cultivator's neck snapped instantly, and his body fell straight to the ground. He was quickly devoured by the demonic energy and turned into a pool of black water.

The other demon cultivator turned and ran in fright, but Ye Yang would not give him the chance. With a light tap of his hand, the Azure Dragon Sky-Splitting Sword thrust out in the back, and a streak of azure light pierced through the demon cultivator's back and emerged from his chest.

"boom!"

The demonic cultivator's body exploded instantly, splattering black demonic blood everywhere.

Ye Yang raised his hand and waved it, and a cyan barrier instantly formed in front of him, blocking the demonic blood outside.

After doing all this, Ye Yang sat down cross-legged, formed hand seals, and continuously circulated his cultivation technique to quickly recover the depleted Dao power.

In the square, thanks to Ye Yang's treatment, many cultivators were busy healing themselves. In an instant, only the faint sound of flowing magical energy remained in the air.

High in the sky, the roar of battle continued unabated.

He could still vaguely see through the sword's pupils.

High in the sky, the Azure Lotus Sword Immortal held a long sword, the azure light emanating from the sword almost dyeing the entire sky azure.

"With this sword, I shatter illusions and vanquish demons!"

With a long roar, the Azure Lotus Sword Immortal unleashed his sword, which flew out and slashed towards the layers of dark clouds in the sky.

This sword strike contained the ultimate sword intent of a peak Thunder Tribulation Realm expert.

It seemed to cleave the heavens and earth in two, even causing space itself to distort slightly under the sword's touch.

The moment the cyan sword light collided with the black magic array.

With a deafening roar, countless demonic energies shook the entire Lingxiao City violently.

The dark clouds shattered inch by inch, and the dense demonic energy receded like a tide.

A piercing scream rang out from within the dark clouds.

A figure flew backward, black demonic blood spilling from the corner of its mouth.

Clearly, the Azure Lotus Sword Immortal's sword strike not only broke through the barrier of the demonic clouds but also damaged the Demon Ancestor's essence.

on the ground.

Ye Yang stared at the sword, his eyes filled with shock and sudden realization.

He could clearly sense the "breaking through illusion" principle within this sword intent.

It is a power that points directly to the source, ignores illusions, is not misled by the appearance of demonic energy, and directly attacks the core of the demonic array.

"I see. The biggest difference between the Tribulation Realm and the Void Refinement Realm is that the cultivation of cultivators at this level has long surpassed the simple contest of strength, and is the ultimate application of the Dao."

Ye Yang's mind raced.

The "Great Dao is Simple" that I comprehended during my previous sparring session with the Azure Lotus Sword Immortal.

At this moment, the "Sword Intent of Breaking Illusion" before him resonated with him, and his understanding of swordsmanship instantly rose to a new level.

And the Dao power that had been consumed was showing signs of recovery under the impetus of this enlightenment.

He raised his fingertip, and a finger-length piece of pure sword intent condensed at that fingertip.

He subconsciously raised his hand, and the Azure Dragon Sky-Splitting Sword was unsheathed on its own, hovering in front of him, its blade trembling slightly, as if responding to his insights.

"I used to be obsessed with the power of swords, but I neglected the combination of sword intent and the Dao. Today, after watching the battle of the Azure Lotus Sword Immortal, I truly understand what the Dao of the Sword is."

Ye Yang muttered to himself, a flash of understanding appearing in his eyes.

Just then, the Purple Cloud Sword Immortal in the sky also noticed Ye Yang below.

She brandished her purple longsword, forcing back a massive demonic cultivator in front of her, and shouted loudly at Ye Yang.

"Dao Ancestor Ye, although the Demon Ancestor is severely injured, his essence has not been destroyed. Our Dao power has been greatly depleted after a long battle. We beg your help to slay this demon together!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Yang's eyes narrowed, and he no longer hesitated.

He addressed the monks in the square.

"Please hold your ground here, I'll be right back!"

Before he finished speaking, he leaped into the air, his figure transforming into a streak of azure light, and sped towards the sky.

A streak of blue light pierced the sky, and Ye Yang's figure instantly arrived at the high-altitude battlefield.

As soon as they got close, they felt an oppressive aura far exceeding that of ordinary Void Refinement Realm cultivators.

Although the Demon Ancestor was severely injured by the Azure Lotus Sword Immortal, his demonic aura remained as thick as ink, his eyes were bloodshot, and the black scepter in his hand gleamed with an eerie dark light.

"Peak of the late stage of the Void Refinement Realm?"

Ye Yang's pupils contracted slightly, and the moment his divine sense swept over the demon, he figured out the other party's background.

The demon's cultivation level was actually much stronger than he had anticipated.

Even with its source damaged, its aura remains wild and terrifying, far beyond the reach of ordinary cultivators in the Void Refinement Realm.

"Master Ye, be careful! This demon has already refined the essence of three Nascent Soul Dao Realm demons, making him far stronger than others of the same level!"

Purple Cloud Sword Immortal swung her sword to repel the Demon Ancestor's demonic flame attack, and purple light flowed around her, forming a solid defensive barrier.

"I'll hold him off, you find an opportunity to attack the magic crystal between his eyebrows!"

"it is good!"

Ye Yang nodded in agreement, and with a clench of his hands, the Azure Dragon Sky-Splitting Sword and the Evil King Blade were simultaneously drawn from their sheaths.

Two streaks of light, one blue and one black, intertwined. The sword energy was sharp as frost, and the blade energy was cold and piercing. In an instant, they slashed towards the Demon Ancestor.

Upon seeing this, the demon let out a piercing, sinister laugh.

"Two more suicides have arrived! Today I will devour your sword intent and blade spirit to help me break through to the Thunder Tribulation Realm!"

After he finished speaking, he slammed his black scepter into the void, and countless black demonic patterns surged out of the scepter, transforming into a huge demonic net that enveloped Ye Yang and the Purple Cloud Sword Immortal.

The magical runes on the magic net flickered, emanating an eerie aura that corroded the soul.

"Purple clouds fill the sky!"

With a soft shout, the Purple Cloud Sword Immortal wielded her purple sword, unleashing a burst of radiant light that resembled dazzling fireworks, yet carried a deadly edge.

The rosy light collided with the magic net, producing a sizzling, corrosive sound, and the magic patterns on the net instantly dimmed a bit.

Ye Yang seized this fleeting opportunity, his footwork shifting rapidly, his figure moving like a ghost between the rosy light and the magic net.

The Azure Dragon Sky-Splitting Sword's blade blazed with a burst of azure light, and a sword aura tens of feet long condensed, slashing straight at the Demon Ancestor's brow.

"Little tricks!"

The Demon Ancestor roared and waved his left hand, and a black bone shield appeared out of thin air. The shield was covered with hideous demonic faces and exuded a strong demonic aura.

With a loud clang, the cyan sword energy struck the bone shield, instantly cracking it, but ultimately managing to block the attack.

Without pausing, Ye Yang flipped his wrist and unleashed the Evil King Blade. A black blade of energy flashed like lightning, heading straight for the Demon Ancestor's right hand holding the staff.

The Demon Ancestor was forced to withdraw his hand to defend, and the Purple Cloud Sword Immortal seized the opportunity to launch an attack. His purple longsword transformed into a stream of light and pierced towards the Demon Ancestor's left shoulder.

"mean!"

The Demon Ancestor was both shocked and furious, and had no choice but to abandon his counterattack. He quickly retreated, while waving his scepter to release a large amount of black demonic mist, attempting to obstruct the two people's vision and perception.

"break!"

Ye Yang let out a low shout, and the Azure Dragon Sky-Splitting Sword slashed out once again.

The cyan sword energy tore through the demonic mist, completely sealing off the demon ancestor's escape route.

He knew that when dealing with such a formidable enemy, he could not give them a chance to breathe.

He exerted force with his feet, accelerating once again, while the Evil King Blade and the Azure Dragon Sky-Splitting Sword attacked alternately, the two streaks of light, blue and black, like two bolts of lightning, constantly assaulting the Demon Ancestor's defenses.

The Purple Cloud Sword Immortals' teamwork was equally seamless. Their Purple Cloud Sword Technique was unpredictable, sometimes launching fierce attacks and sometimes restraining the enemy. Wherever the Purple Cloud Light passed, the demonic energy dissipated.

"Two juniors at the mid-stage of the Void Refinement realm think they can defeat me?"

The Demon Ancestor was forced into retreat by the two, and a hint of madness flashed in his eyes.

As soon as he finished speaking, his demonic energy surged, and his body began to swell.

His already tall body became even more muscular, and his skin cracked open, revealing the writhing black demonic tendons inside.

"Not good! This is the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique!"

The Purple Cloud Sword Immortal's expression changed drastically. (End of Chapter)
