Longevity Thunder Ancestor

Chapter 1088 Overcoming a Nascent Soul Transformation
With a loud bang, the five-colored lightning chains binding Ying Xiao shattered in the center of the Zhou Tian Thunder Domain, revealing Ying Xiao's figure once again.

He opened his blood-red eyes, his expression ferocious, and even his entire body was shrouded in a hazy blood-red light, his aura even stronger than before.

In his sea of ​​consciousness, the phantom of the spirit bird formed from his soul had turned completely blood red, and its power increased greatly, extinguishing all the moon-slaying divine lights.

However, Ying Xiao's forced improvement at this time was not without cost, because he used a drop of his own primordial blood essence.

He only has a dozen or so drops of his original essence blood in total. Once the consumption exceeds a certain limit, it will cause irreversible damage.

Over the years, he only consumed two drops of his original essence blood when he was being chased by Xuan Yi Divine Lord.

Over the next two hundred years, countless resources were spent to barely restore those two drops of primordial blood essence.

Now he has no choice but to use another drop of his original essence blood.

There was no way around it; his soul was his weak point, and Ning Fa's soul attacks were extremely powerful.

Especially when he sensed the terrifying killing intent rising around him, he knew that if Ning Fa continued to use his power, he might even perish. Therefore, he had no choice but to use a drop of his original essence blood.

Being forced to this point by a Nascent Soul cultivator, even though the other party possessed the Five Elements Thunder Body, still made him feel deeply humiliated.

At this moment, he had no time to be angry, because the surging spiritual energy around him made him feel as if he were being pricked by thorns. A look of fear flashed in his eyes, and he said sharply:
"Have you gone mad! Using your innate divine power so recklessly, and you're only at the Nascent Soul stage, you haven't even done anything to me yet, and you're already dead!"

Before he finished speaking, his figure had already disappeared in an instant, but dozens of feet away, a wave of five-colored lightning appeared, forcing Ying Xiao to reveal himself.

At first, he was extremely fast, breaking through layers of lightning.

However, the five-colored lightning surging from all around became increasingly turbulent, crashing violently against his protective aura and greatly reducing the demon's speed.

At this moment, Ning Fa, whose face had turned pale, burst into laughter and suddenly clenched his right hand.

Instantly, the runes on the surface of the lightning pillars in the Zhou Tian Thunder Domain lit up, and streaks of five-colored lightning, several feet long, surged from the surface of these lightning pillars, instantly bombarding the trapped Ying Xiao.

Upon sensing the terrifying power contained within these five-colored lightning bolts, Ying Xiao's expression changed drastically.

At that moment, his outer clothing instantly shattered, and in a flash of spiritual light, he transformed into a spirit bird several meters tall.

Its entire body is a deep blue color, like an artwork made of blue gemstones. Each feather exudes a cold luster, surrounded by blazing arcs of electricity and swirling wind.

Although not enormous in size, it gave off a sense of overwhelming darkness and exuded a demonic aura.

It turned out that Ying Xiao, seeing the situation was not good, directly activated his true form as the Sky-Splitting Thunder Owl.

With a loud bang, Ying Xiao shot towards the edge of the Zhou Tian Thunder Domain like an arrow released from a bow, the surging five-colored lightning around him greatly reducing its obstruction.

But at this moment, the minor chaotic divine lightning unleashed by the Zhou Tian Thunder Domain was already bombarding in.

Upon seeing this, Ying Xiao flapped his wings, and a thunderous roar erupted. Strands of deep blue lightning surged from his body, transforming into menacing blue lightning pythons that charged towards the surrounding Lesser Chaos Divine Lightning.

However, as soon as the two sides made contact, these seemingly menacing azure lightning pythons collapsed directly under the Lesser Chaos Divine Lightning, and were even absorbed by the Lesser Chaos Divine Lightning, which then blasted towards Ying Xiao with even greater force.

"Damn it!" Ying Xiao cursed. In desperation, he used his lightning power again, but the result made him completely give up and decide not to use his lightning-attribute divine power again.

He suddenly grabbed forward with both claws, and the magical treasures on his ten claws flashed with spiritual light.

Amidst the howling wind, countless cyan wind blades shot out and immediately condensed into incredibly thin, dark cyan threads. The cutting motion even created a series of popping sounds in space, clearly demonstrating that the wind elemental power had been condensed to its extreme.

These wind blade threads crisscrossed and instantly formed a giant blue net, protecting Ying Xiao within it.

With a deafening roar, the minor chaotic divine lightning unleashed by the Zhou Tian Thunder Domain struck the giant cyan net. The delicate threads formed by the wind blades trembled violently, desperately cutting through the divine lightning.

These small chaotic divine lightning bolts exploded one after another, transforming into dense, five-colored lightning pastes that emitted incomparably violent destructive power.

The wind blade nets were no match for the raging lightning power and were instantly annihilated, leaving only a thin layer in the blink of an eye.

"Damn it!" Ying Xiao's face twisted in rage.

Ning Fa not only unleashed Lesser Chaotic Divine Lightning, but also absorbed the surrounding天地元气 (Heaven and Earth Qi). At this moment, each Lesser Chaotic Divine Lightning posed a considerable threat to Nascent Soul cultivators.

Ying Xiao knew he could no longer hesitate. He unleashed cyan wind blades from his claws, and at the same time, he spread his wings and let out a mournful cry.

The surge of spiritual energy in this space instantly doubled, with half of it rushing towards Ying Xiao, causing the demon's body to be instantly covered by a dense layer of cyan energy.

At this moment, the wind blades unleashed by his claws had turned bluish-white, and their power had increased dramatically. The net of wind blades that they formed immediately blocked the surging small chaotic divine lightning around them.

A fierce glint flashed in Ying Xiao's eyes. His sharp, iron-like beak snapped open, and a streak of bluish-white light vanished in an instant, piercing through the surging, water-like five-colored lightning and the blockade of the Zhou Tian Thunder Domain. It was about to strike Ning Fa.

But then a ripple appeared in the air, and a sword light as thin as a hair suddenly appeared, precisely blocking the bluish-white light.

Although the sword light was almost instantly severed, like ripples on the surface of water, more sword lights emerged in the surrounding void. Amidst a series of booming sounds, the bluish-white light slowed down more and more, and was eventually annihilated by the numerous sword lights.

Ningfa's expression was solemn as he pointed a finger into the distance.

Amidst a clear and melodious sword cry, in the space outside the Zhou Tian Thunder Domain, at regular intervals, a surge of sword light converged like a tide, instantly condensing into five towering thunder swords, each tens of feet in size.

The five giant swords trembled simultaneously, their surfaces crackling with dazzling lightning. They then slashed towards the center, unleashing five terrifying sword beams of different colors that created a deafening roar.

"Not good!" Ying Xiao's expression changed drastically. His wings flashed, and he moved more than ten feet away as if by teleportation.

Almost simultaneously, the five lightning sword beams, condensed to their maximum intensity, struck the spot where he had been standing.

Before Ying Xiao could even breathe a sigh of relief, his expression changed drastically, and he immediately folded his wings together to protect himself.

Amidst the deafening explosions, five bolts of lightning sword light, almost as if teleporting through space, struck his wings, stirring up a dazzling ball of lightning.

That wasn't the end of it. The five colossal swords, powered by the Heavenly Tribulation Sword Formation, slashed once more from afar, unleashing five more terrifying bolts of lightning that shot towards them in an instant.

The small chaotic divine lightning sparked by the surrounding lightning pillars also surged instantly, engulfing Ying Xiao like a raging tide of thunder.

After a while, the terrifying commotion finally subsided. The lightning pillars generated by the Zhou Tian Thunder Domain had dimmed, and the five towering swords generated by the Heavenly Tribulation Sword Formation had disappeared once again.

At this moment, Ning Fa's face was also extremely pale, and he could not even maintain the state of the Divine Firmament Dharma Form.

His magical power, divine sense, vital energy, and the power of the Five Elements Divine Thunder were almost completely depleted.

But his expression remained unchanged as he stared intently at the center of the Zhou Tian Thunder Domain, where a surge of lightning still lingered.

With a loud bang, the surging lightning burst apart and vanished.

A figure appeared among them; it was Ying Xiao.

At this moment, he looked extremely miserable, his whole body was charred black, and at a glance, there were at least a hundred bloody wounds.

The most serious injury was to his left wing, where a sharp sword wound had cut through most of the wing, so deep that the bone was visible.

His aura had also greatly diminished, less than thirty percent of its peak strength. His enormous demonic head slowly raised, blood still flowing from his right eye, his eyes revealing a deep-seated hatred. In an extremely ferocious and hoarse voice, he spoke:
"Boy, you're the only one who could injure me this badly. Don't worry, I'll make you suffer the most severe punishments in the world as a reward!"

Although Ning Fa was already swaying slightly, he still smiled faintly and said, "Oh? Is that so?"

Seeing that Ning Fa showed no fear whatsoever, Ying Xiao first looked surprised and doubtful, then laughed wildly, "I don't believe that you can cause any trouble in your current state!"

But his laughter soon stopped abruptly.

Suddenly, a purple-tinged figure, similar in size to Ning Fa, appeared in front of him and vanished into his body in a flash.

Immediately, Ning Fa was enveloped in a blinding burst of lightning, and the aura emanating from him rapidly rose from the bottom of the valley.

A moment later, the purple light dissipated, and Ning Fa's figure reappeared.

His entire body was enveloped in purple lightning, his eyes were filled with divine light, and the powerful aura he exuded was like a mountain range and a vast ocean, as if he could split mountains and level seas.

Amidst a thunderous roar, the Divine Firmament Dharma Form was reactivated.

Ying Xiao, who had been laughing wildly, suddenly froze, staring in disbelief. "How is this possible! How could there be such a powerful recovery method in this world!?"

Ning Fa snapped his fingers, glanced at Ying Xiao casually, and smiled slightly, saying, "Fellow Daoist Ying, what did you just say? I didn't quite hear you."

However, I, Ning, know that if you don't have other means, you might lose your life here today.

As he spoke, Ningfa suddenly pressed his right hand down.

The previously calmed spiritual energy of heaven and earth began to boil again. The lightning pillars in the Zhou Tian Thunder Domain, replenished by Ning Fa's magic power, the Five Elements Divine Thunder, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, solidified once more, emitting dazzling lightning light.

Beyond the Thunder Domain, the sword light surged once more like a tide, emitting a clear and melodious sword cry. The five towering thunder swords reappeared, their blades shrouded in a hazy glow, and they once again coalesced into a terrifying aura.

Ying Xiao's face was initially extremely ugly, then instantly turned ferocious.

With a resolute heart, five drops of essence blood appeared within his body. They resembled him, like spirit birds shrunk countless times, and were his five drops of primordial essence blood.

Under Ying Xiao's fierce attack, all five drops of primordial blood essence shattered.

Including the drop of primordial blood he had just used, he had used up a total of six drops of primordial blood in this fight, which was just at the most dangerous limit of primordial blood depletion.

The devastating cost is indescribable; it will take him at least a thousand years to recover.

If one were to engage in another battle with a powerful enemy during this period and use one's primordial blood essence, it is highly likely that one's cultivation level would drop directly.

Thinking of all this, Ying Xiao felt a surge of murderous intent rising in his heart.

A blinding blood-red light rose from his body, and his dripping wounds healed rapidly. His aura surged, even surpassing his peak condition.

With a flap of his wings, he instantly transformed into a streak of blood-red light, piercing through the layers of lightning in the Zhou Tian Thunder Domain.

With a deafening roar, two lightning pillars at the edge of the lightning domain were severed by his wings.

At this moment, the five towering swords formed by the Heavenly Tribulation Sword Formation moved once more, and the five terrifying sword lights merged into one, slashing out at lightning speed.

Yingxiao let out a mournful cry and spat out a beam of blood-blue light, which collided with the powerful sword light.

After a few breaths of stalemate, the lightning sword light shattered with a deafening roar.

In a flash of blood, Ying Xiao vanished.

Ning Fa felt a sudden sense of alarm, and with a flash of lightning around him, he immediately activated his lightning escape technique and disappeared.

But as soon as he appeared a hundred feet away, Ying Xiao had already followed like a leech.

In an instant, Ningfa returned to the passive and defensive situation it had been in at the beginning, and it was even worse.

After Ning Fa used his lightning technique for the third time, there was no way to avoid it.

He clasped his hands together, and a five-colored lightning vortex spun rapidly in front of him, shooting out a spiral of lightning that suddenly struck Ying Xiao, who was attacking him.

It was his Thunder Vortex Divine Light.

Even so, in front of Ying Xiao, who was fighting desperately at this moment, the Thunder Vortex Divine Light only lasted for a few breaths before shattering with a series of bangs.

Ying Xiao's blood-red eyes were filled with a sinister smile as he stretched out his claws, ready to tear Ning Fa to shreds.

Ning Fa's expression was solemn, but he didn't seem too flustered.

He was certain that if he used his strongest innate divine power, Chaos Divine Thunder, he would have at least a 70-80% chance of killing this demon in one fell swoop.

But he was naturally reluctant to use it easily, since he might stay in the late Nascent Soul stage for a long time.

However, he has another trump card.

Ning Fa flipped his right hand, and a white bead the size of an infant's fist appeared in his palm. Runes flashed on the surface of the bead, faintly emanating a terrifying aura that could destroy the world—it was the Great Immortal-Destroying Bead.

At the same time, on the surface of the Heavenly Book of Crossing Origins, one of the two True Form Imprinting Runes had already imprinted the true form of this Immortal Extinction Pearl.

Just then, a burst of purple-gold lightning suddenly flashed behind Ning Fa, and a towering thunderwood instantly appeared, its entire body a deep blue color, covered with mysterious purple-gold patterns.

As the thunderwood swayed, it seemed to blot out the sky and the sun.

The next moment, the purple-gold patterns on the surface of the thunderwood flew off and instantly transformed into a purple-gold lightning rune chain, which bound Ying Xiao who was rushing towards them in a flash.

Amidst the flashing lightning chain runes, Ying Xiao, who had just been brimming with demonic energy, was suddenly unable to move.

Even with his furious roars and his body crackling with rings of sharp, blood-blue wind blades, he could not break free from the runic chains that bound him.

Seeing this, Ning Fa was dumbfounded.

This thunder and wood is the symbol of his innate supreme wood and thunder, so why is it being activated automatically now?
Moreover, these purple-gold runes on its surface have such great power?

The next moment, something even more surprising happened.

Suddenly, a purple wooden phantom appeared above Ying Xiao's head. It was about ten feet tall and its surface was covered with mysterious dark black runes.

The purple wood phantom swayed gently, and a circle of purplish-black light surged out, enveloping Ying Xiao from head to toe.

Immediately afterwards, the blood energy on Ying Xiao's body began to flow along the lightning chains towards the lightning wood behind Ning Fa.

At the same time, Ning Fa also felt an extremely rich energy of blood and qi surging into his body, as if he had taken a powerful tonic. His blood and qi began to boil, and the aura he emitted became stronger and stronger.

Ying Xiao, on the other hand, was utterly horrified, and his breath rapidly declined.
