Longevity Thunder Ancestor

Chapter 1136 Defeating Yunxiu
Ning Fa scoffed, "Let me see if your supernatural abilities are as impressive as your boast."

Before he finished speaking, he extended his right index finger and casually drew a circle in front of him.

Five-colored lightning surged within the circle, quickly forming a five-colored lightning vortex that spun rapidly, its terrifying aura rising rapidly.

Yunxiu, who had been smiling, suddenly changed her expression.

Ning Fa's lips curled up, and with a flick of his right hand, a spiral five-colored lightning beam, about ten feet thick, shot out from the five-colored lightning vortex—the Thunder Vortex Divine Light.

Previously, Ningfa had to exert all his strength to activate the powerful divine power of the Dharma Form to use it, but now he can use it easily, and its power is incomparable to what it used to be.

Yunxiu's expression changed again. She let out a low snort and slashed her white sword into the air.

A series of sword sounds rang out, but this was no ordinary sword sound; it sounded more like a group of Confucian scholars reciting scriptures.

A sword light slashed out, formed from numerous large ancient characters that connected together, resembling Confucian and Taoist scriptures. As the light flickered rapidly, it was accompanied by the sound of recitation, like a great Confucian scholar reading aloud.

At the same time, the sword light emitted by the sword became increasingly solid and heavy, like a mountain, blocking Yunxiu behind it.

With a deafening roar, the incredibly violent vortex of divine light struck the mountain of scriptures and swords.

For a moment, the two sides were locked in a stalemate, but after only a breath, the sword mountain immediately showed signs of being outmatched. The scriptures on its surface flashed with spiritual light, and the connections between them appeared to be broken.

Yunxiu's pupils contracted slightly, and the sword technique in her hand changed rapidly. The scriptures on the surface of the sword surged and merged rapidly, forming a huge ancient character hundreds of feet long—"Guard".

This temporarily blocked the violent power of the Thunder Vortex Divine Light.

"He does indeed have some skill."

Ning Fa raised his eyebrows, then chuckled lightly, and changed the hand seals again.

Suddenly, the divine light of the lightning vortex dispersed from its mixed state into five lightning beams. Then, following the principle of mutual generation of the five elements, they connected end to end, instantly forming a five-colored lightning wheel more than ten feet in size.

As this lightning wheel spun rapidly, arcs of lightning scattered in all directions, and the void itself was torn apart with a hissing sound.

As the lightning wheel was activated again, the sword mountain in the shape of the character "守" (guard) trembled, and countless cracks appeared instantly before it collapsed with a roar.

The Thunder Wheel, still possessing immense power, arrived before Yunxiu's true form with a whoosh and slashed down at her without any hesitation.

The man's expression was solemn, with a hint of disbelief in his eyes. He suddenly waved his right sleeve, and spiritual energy surged, transforming into a huge Bagua diagram that enveloped the lightning wheel.

A few breaths later, with a loud boom, spiritual light emanated from all directions.

After the aftershocks of the attack subsided slightly, Yunxiu reappeared.

His once meticulously combed hair now had a strand of long hair falling out, making him look somewhat disheveled.

And this was only after he used two supernatural powers in succession to block Ning Fa's attack.

At this moment, the confident smile that seemed to say he had everything under control was gone from his face. He frowned and looked at Ning Fa, slowly saying, "Your strength is higher than the rumors say, no, much higher."

Although he didn't go all out, Ning Fa seemed to be handling the situation with even more ease.

Based on this single attack, Yunxiu could tell that Ningfa was definitely the most formidable enemy he had ever faced in his life.

But then a smile appeared on his face: "You are strong, but you are too arrogant. You are still too young."

As he spoke, the white sword in front of him suddenly assumed a special sword stance, and white sword light poured out, carrying a vast amount of Confucian and Taoist scriptures, which instantly filled an area of ​​tens of thousands of feet.

Within this region, numerous Confucian classics, large and imposing, circulated and clashed with one another, each collision further strengthening the Confucian spirit of this area.

At the same time, a thousand feet behind Ning Fa, Yun Xiu's Netherworld Demon Body suddenly appeared.

The demon's body was shrouded in swirling demonic energy, and its right hand wielded a demonic sword in a strange stance. In an instant, the demonic light transformed into nine blood-black chains.

The vengeful spirits on the chains howled, and countless twisted and ferocious figures emerged, exuding a murderous aura.

The nine chains danced like raging pythons, spewing out countless blood-black demonic energies that instantly expanded to over ten thousand feet, resembling a ghostly realm. This merged perfectly with the white sword domain activated by the white sword, forming a massive yin-yang array, with Ning Fa at its center.

"The Two Elements Return to Their Origin, Yin-Yang Sword Domain!"

This is the first time I've used this divine power since I achieved great success in my cultivation. This formation can generate Yin and Yang; let me see how your Five Elements Thunder Body can still show its power under this formation!

Yunxiu smiled again, clearly very confident in her supernatural power.

When he said Ningfa was arrogant, he meant that Ningfa could have tried to avoid it, but instead allowed him to do as he pleased.

Ning Fa remained expressionless, glancing indifferently at his surroundings.

To the left is the Vast Sword Domain, where sword energy rains down from time to time; to the right is the Netherworld Demon Domain, where demonic energy surges like a tide.

"No wonder you were able to manipulate the Demon Lord so effectively, and even be considered by the Demon Lord to be only below the Ancient Venerable and the Yuan Venerable in strength. Your true strength is indeed extraordinary."

Ning Fa smiled faintly, "It's not wrong to say that I'm arrogant, because in my opinion, your supernatural abilities are only somewhat interesting, far from being worthy of my serious attention."

"Hmph, what a boastful statement." Yunxiu snorted coldly, forming a strange sword incantation with her hand.

At the same time, the demonic body on the other side of this Yin-Yang Sword Domain also made the same gesture.

The next moment, the Yin-Yang Sword Domain began to circulate rapidly, and huge Confucian and Taoist scriptures shot out. Each ancient character condensed with each other, forming sword lights of different shapes and colors. Moreover, the sword intent contained in each sword light was different, such as righteousness, loyalty, upholding justice, or slaying wickedness...

Each sword light possessed a distinctly different power. At the same time, a sound of chanting scriptures rose between heaven and earth, as if tens of thousands of great scholars were chanting different scriptures simultaneously. The various sounds intertwined, filling the consciousness of others, causing their thoughts to be overwhelmed and become extremely sluggish.

The Vast Sword Domain alone is already so powerful, and the Netherworld Demon Domain is no less formidable.

Countless blood-black chains crisscrossed, from which demonic marks flew out, transforming into blood-red sword shadows that roared mournfully as they slashed towards Ning Fa, attacking not only Ning Fa's physical body but also piercing into his sea of ​​consciousness.

This sword formation technique can attack both the enemy's physical body and consciousness from both the Yin and Yang realms. Moreover, the two extremes, one righteous and one evil, one Yin and one Yang, intertwine simultaneously to create even greater power.

Even a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator would find it extremely difficult to withstand such an attack and would likely perish.

At this moment, Ning Fa was only protected by a faint lightning shield. His eyes were slightly closed, and under the fierce attack of the Yin-Yang Sword Domain, he was like a small boat in a raging storm.

Immediately, water shimmered behind Ning Fa's head, and a full moon, about ten feet in size, emerged from it, radiating a cool moonlight that enveloped Ning Fa.

Immediately, the chanting of scriptures that had filled people's minds vanished, replaced by wisps of bloody smoke and faint, desperate roars.

Ning Fa slowly opened his eyes, his gaze clear, but a look of admiration appeared on his face: "You do have reason to be arrogant, but unfortunately you've met me today."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ning Fa suddenly raised his right hand into the air, and a thick golden beam of lightning shot out.

Suddenly, the sky above changed color, and a golden thundercloud several acres in size appeared, exuding a pure and powerful aura. It was none other than his Supreme Earth Divine Thunder, which had reached the peak of the fourth rank, also known as the Evil-Repelling Divine Thunder.

As the lightning runes within the golden thundercloud rapidly floated, the surrounding天地元气 (heaven and earth energy) surged toward it as if out of control, causing the thundercloud to spread quickly and completely cover the area of ​​the Yin-Yang Sword Domain.

The next moment, a torrential downpour of golden lightning shot down from the thunderclouds.

Immediately, a series of popping sounds like popping beans rang out. The originally fierce blood-red sword shadows turned into smoke without any resistance as soon as they touched these evil-repelling divine thunders. The ferocious sword shadows in the demon realm suddenly became sparse.

Yunxiu's expression darkened, and she urged her right hand to perform another spell. Instantly, the vast sword domain shot out patches of white light, which enveloped the blood swords.

Countless Confucian scriptures, each the size of a grain of rice, flashed rapidly across the sword. The originally extremely fierce blood sword was now imbued with a righteous aura. The two extreme auras merged perfectly, forming Yunxiu's special killing move of the Yin-Yang Sword Domain—the Yin-Yang Demon Sword.

Now, the Evil-Repelling Divine Thunder could no longer annihilate these blood swords as easily as before. For a moment, the waves formed by countless Evil-Repelling Divine Thunders and the Yin-Yang Demon Sword were locked in a stalemate.

Ning Fa remained expressionless and pointed with his right hand.

With a clear and melodious sword cry, five Heavenly Tribulation Swords leaped out, their sword lights swirling, one becoming two, two becoming four... In an instant, thousands upon thousands of sword lights of various colors appeared, disappearing into the void in a flash.

The next moment, a series of sounds like thunder and sword cries came, overwhelming the fiercely clashing Evil-Repelling Divine Thunder and Yin-Yang Demon Sword, and an incomparably sharp and powerful aura that could cut through anything quickly spread.

Yunxiu's expression changed drastically. She struck her chest twice, spitting out two orbs of spiritual energy, one white and one black. After spitting out the orbs, Yunxiu's face turned deathly pale. The two orbs intertwined and entered the Yin-Yang Sword Domain, instantly increasing the domain's power. It not only blocked the Evil-Repelling Divine Lightning in the air, but also unleashed numerous Yin-Yang Demonic Swords, each tens of feet long, slashing towards Ningfa from all directions.

Before he could even get close, fine, hair-like sword threads appeared around Ning Fa's body. Their surfaces rapidly switched between five-colored lightning, and the five elements' aura also changed accordingly. These were the Extinction Yuan Sword Threads.

Countless five-colored sword threads formed a sword net. As soon as the surging Yin-Yang Demon Swords touched this sword net, they burst out with dazzling bursts of spiritual energy.

Soon, those powerful Yin-Yang Demon Swords began to falter. Although countless scriptures flowed rapidly on the surface of these swords, they were still unable to withstand the extremely sharp cutting of the Extinction Yuan Sword Threads.

As the protective shield formed by those scriptures was completely cut off, the Extinction Sword Threads quickly switched to the form of Evil-Repelling Divine Thunder. Amidst the flashing lightning, the Yin-Yang Demon Sword, which was now only in its demonic sword form, was struck, causing it to emit bursts of black smoke before quickly dissipating.

In this way, in just a few dozen breaths, Yunxiu's demonic sword attack, which had consumed a lot of his vital energy, vanished.

Ning Fa's counterattack had only just begun. He pressed down with his right hand, and countless Extinction Yuan Sword Threads spread outwards like waves. Wherever they passed, the strange and unpredictable Yin Yang Sword Domain collapsed. Within ten breaths, the sword domain had completely dissipated.

Yunxiu's face was pale, her eyes filled with disbelief.

He retreated repeatedly, but the void around him also contained strands of the Extinction Sword, which flickered and quickly converged upon him.

Yunxiu wielded his sword and slashed swiftly, forming a lotus of sword energy beneath him.

As it spun rapidly, lotus leaves flew out, attempting to break through the sword net's blockade.

Even though this sword lotus was quite powerful, it could only disperse a few strands of the Extinction Sword before its power was exhausted and it disappeared.

Soon, the sword net woven from the Extinction Yuan Sword Silk quickly closed in, and the lotus of sword energy only blocked for a moment before shattering into pieces, while Yunxiu's figure disappeared without a trace.

Ning Fa was slightly surprised and turned around to look. He saw the body of the Netherworld God Demon behind him shake, and a ray of white light shot out from its body, transforming back into the figure of Yunxiu.

At this moment, Yunxiu's face was extremely pale.

His proud Yin-Yang Sword Domain was so easily broken by Ning Fa, and the opponent was clearly not even using his full strength.

Because he knew that Ningfa's greatest strength lay in his Dharma-manifestation supernatural powers.

Before Ning Fa advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, he was able to fight against Nascent Soul cultivators by relying on this Dharma form. Now, he hasn't even used this signature divine ability, which is enough to show that his Yin-Yang Sword Domain has not put any pressure on Ning Fa.

Yunxiu felt heavy-hearted. This undoubtedly proved that Ningfa's strength was far greater than the rumors suggested, to the point that even she herself could not compare.

But when he looked back at the Demon Lord, who was still undergoing his final tribulation lightning strike, his eyes were filled with resentment.

After nearly a thousand years of planning, the harvest is about to be achieved. As long as the Demon Lord can be refined into the Heavenly Hatred Sword Heart, his cultivation of the "Supreme Forgetfulness Sword Manual" and the "Shadow Slaughtering God Strategy" can be truly integrated. It is even possible to break through the limitations of this world and advance to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm. There is also a considerable hope of sneaking into the Spirit Realm.

With his unparalleled talent, even reaching the Void Refinement Realm in the Spirit Realm would not be the end for him.

Thinking of this, Yunxiu made up her mind, her expression turning ferocious, and she said hatefully, "You forced me to do this!"

As he spoke, he and the demonic body behind him simultaneously formed a strange hand seal, and black and white spiritual light shot out from both of them at the same time, merging together.

After the black and white light gradually dissipated, Yunxiu reappeared, looking extremely strange.

From top to bottom, the left half of his face and body still retains his original appearance, exuding a righteous and awe-inspiring aura, radiating a pure and profound sense of righteousness.

The right half of his body was pitch black. Although his face was still his, it was extremely ferocious and evil, with eyes like burning embers and demonic energy soaring to the sky.

The righteous and the demonic do not clash in one body, but rather blend together harmoniously.

He clasped his arms together, and the black and white swords merged into one, with demonic energy and righteous energy intertwining.

At this moment, Yunxiu, in a strange state, suddenly surged with power, almost breaking through the limit of the mid-stage Nascent Soul realm. The strength of her spiritual pressure even surpassed that of the Ancient Venerable and Yuan Venerable that Ningfa had seen make a move before.

Ning Fa's expression finally turned serious. Yun Xiu's strange state at this moment did indeed give him a faint sense of threat.

Yunxiu's voice boomed, "My [Law Nightmare True Body] has only crossed half the threshold in the last fifty years. The key missing link is Zhuang Mingxiao."

Ningfa, you are my enemy for obstructing my path to take him!

I'll ask you one more time, are you going to stop or not?!

Ning Fa snorted coldly, straightened his back, and exuded an incomparably fierce aura: "Enough with the nonsense, let me see just how good your supposedly powerful supernatural ability really is!"

As he spoke, purple lightning burst forth behind Ning Fa, and a tall figure quickly took shape.

The figure was dressed in purple lightning armor and wore a five-thunder crown. Shocks of lightning surrounded his body. His face resembled Ning Fa's, but he was as majestic as a god. He was the Divine Firmament Dharma Image.

"Very well!" Yunxiu said three times. "In that case, let's experience my 'Heart-Slaying Sword'!"

As he finished speaking, the black and white demonic sword in front of him trembled violently, and then the tip of the sword pointed at himself.

Then, the sword was raised and slashed down fiercely, transforming into a sword light that intertwined with mighty sword energy and demonic energy, enveloping Yunxiu, whose aura disappeared in the process.

The sword light suddenly surged, reaching a size of a thousand feet in an instant, like a towering demonic sword. Strands of black and white spiritual light intertwined, forming countless eerie black and white runes, which greatly increased the sword's momentum, giving it the power to cleave the heavens and split the earth.

This sword first slays itself, then others. A unique sword intent surges wildly, causing anyone who touches it to feel numb and indifferent, as if their emotions have been forcibly forgotten, forgetting not only their emotions but even their own existence.

This is precisely the special sword intent that this sword is imbued with.

Normally, even a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator would find it extremely difficult to block this sword intent, but for Ning Fa, whose soul strength was comparable to that of an early-stage Void Refinement cultivator, it had little impact.

Ning Fa's eyes lit up, and he laughed heartily: "Good! Such strength is worthy of my use of this move!"

As he spoke, he raised his right hand, and the five Heavenly Tribulation Swords quickly merged into one, forming a hundred-foot-long lightning sword amidst the flickering lightning.

Profound runes interwoven with five thunderbolts appeared on the sword. These runes spun rapidly, and strands of special chaotic lightning shot out from the sword, quickly covering the blade. An indescribable sharp aura emanated from it, as if it could pierce the sky.

"This divine power is called [Void Penetration]. You have made me use this move, which is something to be proud of!"

Ning Fa's voice was like thunder. At the same time, his main body and the Divine Firmament behind him simultaneously assumed a sword stance. The hundred-foot-long thunder sword suddenly rose and slashed out, carving a deep groove in the void, and clashed with the demonic sword that was pressing down horizontally.

For a moment, the two swords were locked in a stalemate in the air, forming two distinct boundaries.

On one side, there was rolling thunder; on the other, there was a strange sword aura, a mixture of good and evil.

The two sides fought fiercely, producing a series of clanging sounds like metal striking metal.

A fierce glint flashed in Ning Fa's eyes. He and the Divine Firmament Dharma Master behind him pressed down simultaneously, shouting, "Break!"

A torrent of chaotic lightning surged violently from the Void Thunder Sword, with runes interwoven with five thunderbolts pouring out wildly, obliterating all the eerie sword energy in its path.

With a series of cracking sounds, the demonic sword finally gave way, and cracks quickly appeared. The originally intertwined righteous and demonic energies began to vibrate violently and separate rapidly, causing the demonic sword to collapse.

With a deafening roar, the demonic sword shattered completely, and countless righteous and demonic energies danced wildly, even colliding, attacking, and annihilating each other.

A flash of inspiration came from a distance of several miles away, and Yunxiu's figure reappeared.

At this moment, his hair was disheveled, a sharp sword mark ran from top to bottom almost through his body, the wound was charred, and his face kept switching back and forth between his real body and his demonic form, and his body was trembling violently.

He quickly took out a pill shrouded in gray mist and swallowed it. The pill was of extremely high quality, which quickly stabilized his condition and restored him to a considerable state.

Yunxiu took a deep breath, looked at Ningfa in the distance with fear, and turned and ran without saying a word.

A cold glint flashed in Ning Fa's eyes, and he was about to give chase.

This person is extremely powerful; keeping him alive would be a disaster, so it's natural to eliminate him completely.

Just then, a gentle voice reached his ear:

"Fellow Daoist Ning, thank you for protecting me. I was fortunate enough to advance successfully. I will deal with Yunxiu from now on. It's time for me to settle things with him."
