Longevity Thunder Ancestor

Chapter 1137 Reunion with the Ancestral Beast
As the words fell, a figure appeared beside Ning Fa; it was none other than the Demon Lord.

His current state is peculiar; his upper body is solid, while his lower body is extremely ethereal. His ethereal body is slowly being restored by wisps of black and white gas.

Clearly, the Demon Lord has survived the Heavenly Tribulation of Transformation and received feedback from the laws, and is now transforming from Yin to Yang, creating a Yang God body.

Ning Fa frowned slightly, because at this moment the Demon Lord was still far from fully achieving the Yang God Body, and his spiritual pressure aura was unstable.

Although Yunxiu was severely injured by him, she was by no means to be underestimated. Ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators would not be able to do anything to her.

Seemingly sensing Ning Fa's worries, the Demon Lord shook his head and smiled:
"He has been severely injured by Fellow Daoist Ning, and I am in extremely poor condition right now, so it can be considered fair."

My lifelong wish is to kill this man with my own hands, and I hope Fellow Daoist Ning will grant me that opportunity.

Seeing that the Demon Lord had said so, Ning Fa no longer insisted and nodded slightly.

The Demon Lord smiled, then transformed into a sword light and vanished instantly.

Hundreds of miles away in the sky, Yunxiu was fleeing at top speed on her sword.

Suddenly, golden light appeared from all directions around him, transforming into sword shadows that slashed towards him.

Yunxiu's expression suddenly changed. He swung his sword rapidly, and the sword light condensed, forming a huge "Guard" character sword mountain once again.

However, under the impact of numerous golden swords, the sword mountain quickly collapsed.

The Demon Lord's figure slowly appeared behind them. He looked at Yunxiu with a calm expression, but his eyes revealed a deep-seated hatred.

He held a gleaming white longsword pointed directly at Yunxiu, and said in a cold voice, "Haven't you always wanted my sword heart? Now I'm giving you that chance."

"If you can defeat me, you can take my sword heart as you wish; Fellow Daoist Ning will not interfere."

Yunxiu looked surprised and suspicious. She glanced at Ningfa, who was standing with his hands behind his back and expressionless in the distance, and then took a deep breath.

He knew this was his only chance to escape, and roared, "You have guts! But I'll let you know that if it weren't for Ning Fa's unexpected intervention, you would always be in my hands."

As he spoke, he rapidly formed various strange hand seals, repeatedly tapping them on his body.

Soon his body seemed to be drained dry, quickly withering away until he was just skin and bones, and his once handsome appearance became like that of a withered zombie.

However, his momentum rapidly increased, almost returning to 60-70% of his original peak level.

A black light surged from his shoulder, forming the Netherworld Demon Body once again, though it appeared very ethereal and its aura was far weaker than before.

Yunxiu's true form and demonic form once again unleashed the Yin-Yang Twin Swords, one wielding righteous energy and the other wielding demonic energy, forming the Yin-Yang Sword Domain once more.

Meanwhile, the Demon Lord cast a spell, during which time his Yang God body was partially restored.

Soon, the mighty sword formed from the scriptures and the Netherworld Blood Sword rained down on him.

The Demon Lord remained unfazed, even a smile playing on his lips.

Immediately behind him appeared nine pale golden longsword phantoms, like a sword wheel, which spun rapidly and shot out beams of golden sword light, forming a circular sword curtain to protect him.

The surging, mighty sword and the Netherworld Blood Sword crashed into it, like a mud ox entering the sea.

Moreover, things were not that simple. Yunxiu felt her own and her demonic body's magical power rapidly draining away, as if being swallowed up by that sword curtain.

Yunxiu's expression changed drastically. She immediately stopped attacking and asked in fear, "What kind of supernatural power is this?"

The Demon Lord smiled faintly: "I have to thank you for this, for making me determined to cultivate the 'Silent God Sword Control Chapter'."

Although the process was extremely perilous, after advancing to the Nascent Soul stage, I unexpectedly benefited from the misfortune and cultivated the Silent God Sword Body. Now, I'll use your divine power to test my own!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Demon Lord pushed off with both hands, and the golden sword curtain instantly transformed into countless golden sword lights that shot out and entered the Yin-Yang Sword Domain.

The mighty swords or the Netherworld Blood Swords in the Sword Domain suddenly surged uncontrollably, some even turning into pure gold and being directly controlled by the Demon Lord.

With a series of loud bangs, numerous sword lights within the Yin-Yang Sword Domain engaged in a chaotic battle. Just a few breaths later, the sword domain collapsed with a deafening roar.

Although Yunxiu was severely injured, it also shows how powerful the Demon Lord's Silent God Sword Body is.

The Demon Lord's expression was solemn. He pointed his right hand into the air, and the nine longswords once again formed a huge sword wheel. As it spun rapidly, a golden sword domain a hundred feet long appeared at its center.

Countless sword energies were born and died endlessly within it, just as living beings went through the process of life to death and even life again in a short period of time. It not only combined yin and yang, but also had a sense of reincarnation.

The Demon Lord's voice echoed faintly: "Let us settle our grudges with this [Silent Wheel Sword Burial]."

Even Ning Fa, who was watching from afar, was deeply moved upon seeing this supernatural power.

This supernatural power is far more threatening to him than the Forget-Me-Slaying Sword that Yunxiu used with all her might before.

Moreover, this supernatural power contained a special aura, which stirred up waves in Ning Fa's heart.

Yunxiu's expression changed drastically, and a sense of impending doom rose rapidly in his heart.

He unleashed his ferocity, raising his longsword once more, as all the flesh and blood in his body surged towards him, quickly turning him into a complete skeleton. The Yin-Yang Demon Sword reappeared in his hand, clearly intending to unleash the Heart-Slaying Sword once more.

A few breaths later, as Yunxiu cried out in despair, the Heart-Slaying Sword that she had used with all her might to unleash once more was completely swallowed up by the light domain transformed from the Silent Wheel Sword Burial.

Immediately, the Silent Wheel Sword Burial, which carried the meaning of the cycle of life, suddenly contracted, transforming into a pale golden sword light that disappeared in a flash.

Yunxiu's body stood stiffly, her mouth, which had no flesh left, opened and closed as if she wanted to say something.

The next instant, countless cracks appeared on his body, and then he vanished in a streak of light.

This Nascent Soul expert, whose strength and cunning were both terrifying, perished.

Peace returned to the world, and a look of relief appeared on the Demon Lord's face.

Immediately, his body trembled violently, and his already half-condensed Yang God body shook violently, with another 20% turning into a void.

Clearly, he paid a heavy price for his actions just now.

However, the Demon Lord's body shimmered with golden light and quickly stabilized. Then, he pointed towards the air, and a beam of light flew to Ning Fa's front. It was an ancient-looking storage ring, which belonged to Yun Xiu.

The Demon Lord nodded to Ning Fa, then raised one hand, and the dense Yin energy of the icy plain converged on him, quickly stabilizing his condition.

Ning Fa did not rush to check Yunxiu's storage ring, but looked at the Demon Lord with a moved expression.

The divine power that the Demon Lord just used clearly possessed the essence of laws, just like his Heavenly Thunder.

However, the spiritual essence of that law was much thinner, clearly indicating that it was still a long way from truly advancing to the level of a celestial realm divine power, but it was already astonishing enough.

In particular, the spiritual essence of that law was somewhat related to the law of reincarnation, clearly a spiritual essence derived from the law of reincarnation.

Although Ning Fa only had a superficial understanding of the power of laws, he knew that the law of reincarnation was one of the three supreme laws, along with the laws of time and space.

This also shows the high potential of the Demon Lord's nascent cave-heaven divine power, no wonder it was able to kill Yunxiu in one fell swoop.

"As expected of the Demon Lord."

Ning Fa thought to himself, and he even had a faint feeling that even if he didn't help, the Demon Lord might still be the one laughing last.

Ning Fa then took Yunxiu's storage ring in his hand and quickly broke through the restriction attached to it.

He smiled broadly after just a brief examination.

Yunxiu truly lives up to his reputation as a veteran Nascent Soul expert; his wealth is simply astonishing.

Although its total value is far less than that of the Gu family and the Qian Yuan Business Alliance, the key is that it contains many rare and precious items.

The storage ring contains a considerable amount of various legendary elixirs, spiritual herbs, spiritual flowers, and rare spiritual materials that Nascent Soul cultivators dream of.

Moreover, it also contains the complete cultivation techniques of Yunxiu, namely the "Supreme Sword Manual of Forgetfulness" and the "Shadow Slaughtering God Manual," both of which are top-tier cultivation techniques of the middle-grade Heaven rank.

Although Ningfa himself cannot use it, it can be used for the Ning family's inheritance.

This greatly increased Ningfa's personal wealth.

Three days later, the Demon Lord finally finished his work.

At this moment, half of his body below the abdomen was still in a phantom state.

Seeing Ning Fa's worried expression, the Demon Lord smiled nonchalantly:

"My accumulation is still lacking. This time, I suffered a serious injury while advancing to the Nascent Soul stage. In addition, I suffered a backlash from forcibly using that divine power."

However, it should be able to fully transform into a Yang God body within a hundred years at the earliest.

"Many thanks to Fellow Daoist Ning for protecting me this time; otherwise, I would have already become Yunxiu's bride." Ning Fa waved his hand, pondered for a moment, and said, "It was nothing. In that case, Demon Lord, you should rest and recuperate here. I have other important matters to attend to."

The Demon Lord smiled and said, "I see Fellow Daoist Ning looks hurried. Is there something urgent? I should be able to help."

Ning Fa thought for a moment and then said, "I have received accurate information that the sea race is planning a big move and intends to set up a transmission array to communicate with the upper realm."

If they succeed, the consequences will be unimaginable, so I must intervene to stop them.

The Demon Lord's expression immediately changed, and he nodded, saying, "In that case, it is my duty to oblige."

"Fellow Daoist Ning, there's no need to worry about me. As long as I don't use that divine power lightly, I'll be fine. I'll go with you."

“Okay.” Ning Fa said in a deep voice without further hesitation.

Soon, the two set off to leave this place, speeding south.

On the way, Ning Fa informed the Demon Lord of the detailed information and even asked the Demon Lord for a copy of his experience in switching to ghost cultivation and passing the Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation, which he planned to give to Zheng Xuan Yan in the future.

"Demon Lord, have you heard any news about Yan Jingchen in the past hundred years?" Ning Fa suddenly asked.

Seeing the Demon Lord shake his head, Ning Fa couldn't help but frown slightly.

In fact, Yan Jingchen was the mastermind behind his calamity a hundred years ago, almost causing his death.

This reincarnation of Daoist Yanyuan is likely to surpass Yunxiu in both strength and cunning, making him his true nemesis. He must not be allowed to live in this world.

However, when Ning Fa searched the soul of the Ancient Venerable's clone, he didn't find much information about Yan Jingchen, and he didn't even know if the other party had entered Mitian Valley.

Ning Fa made up his mind that once the matter of the sea tribe was resolved and the safety of Cheng Susu and the others was confirmed, he would definitely find and kill this person.

With Ning Fa and the Demon Lord's supernatural powers, they had already traversed millions of miles in a short period of time and finally arrived at the Blood Thunder Sea.

This sea area had long been controlled by the sea creatures, and both of them concealed their presence.

Ning Fa took out his special communication device with Su Wanwan, and after receiving a confirmation reply, he quickly headed towards the agreed location.

Just as they left the Blood Thunder Sea and arrived at the desolate sea area where it intersected with the Bright Sky Sea, Ning Fa's expression shifted, signaling the Demon Lord to stop.

The Demon Lord was initially puzzled, but after a while, he looked up at the right horizon, first slightly surprised, then shook his head and laughed:

"I thought that after advancing to the Nascent Soul stage, my divine sense strength would be unmatched by ordinary people, but it is still far inferior to Fellow Daoist Ning."

Ning Fa shook his head and smiled, but his eyes narrowed slightly as he was surprised—it was him.

Not long after, a streak of light appeared from the distant horizon.

The newcomer was a middle-aged cultivator wearing black dragon-shaped scissors and holding a whisk.

This man, dressed in a silver robe, had a handsome appearance and an ethereal, otherworldly air about him. He was none other than Wen Yuchen, a Nascent Soul cultivator from the Primordial Beginning Sect.

At this moment, he was no longer as composed as before. His hair was disheveled, and he looked behind him with a face full of panic, appearing extremely disheveled.

Whenever he increased his speed, strange golden light waves appeared around him, making him feel as if he were stuck in quagmire, and slowing him down again.

At this point, it can be seen that another figure appears dozens of miles behind them.

It was a boy dressed in a golden robe who looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old. He had delicate features, strange golden patterns on his face, and two small golden horns on his head. He exuded a soaring demonic aura, and his spiritual pressure was so strong that it had definitely reached the Nascent Soul level, and was not comparable to an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator.

The young man stood with his hands behind his back, watching Wen Yuchen flee in a disheveled state, a mocking smile on his lips, and his eyes filled with undisguised hatred.

Clearly, the strange and sharp golden light wave was released by him. At this moment, he was driving Wen Yuchen around like a shepherd, tormenting him like a cat playing with a mouse.

Ning Fa first gave Wen Yuchen a cold look, then looked at the golden-robed youth, his expression becoming solemn.

This person—no, or more accurately, this demon—he recognized, was none other than the ancestral beast Huan Yu.

The other party was also tricked into participating in the operation a hundred years ago, but this demon was no ordinary creature, and in the end, it still managed to escape.

Unexpectedly, a hundred years later, the other party not only recovered from his injuries, but also officially broke through to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and even transformed into human form, showing a great improvement in his cultivation.

Even Ning Fa felt that he couldn't see through him.

Ning Fa felt a slight chill in his heart. He vaguely felt that even if he went all out, he probably wouldn't be able to easily defeat this demon. Its origins were definitely not simple.

Putting everything else aside, this demon had clearly discovered him first, and Wen Yuchen was obviously being driven towards him by him.

This alone is enough to prove that his methods are extraordinary.

The ancestral beast Huan Yu also looked up at Ning Fa, a smile of enigmatic meaning curling at the corner of his mouth.

Meanwhile, Wen Yuchen, who was fleeing in a sorry state, also spotted Ning Fa and the Demon Lord ahead. His expression changed drastically, especially after seeing Ning Fa.

He was naturally aware of the operation a hundred years ago, and it could be said that the Tian Shu Alliance was one of the murderers who almost killed Ning Fa.

When news of Ning Fa's shocking revenge operation in Qin reached him, it terrified him.

In particular, Xuan Yi, the strongest person in the Tian Shu Alliance, and Li Yang, another Nascent Soul cultivator from the Tai Chu Sect, have both entered the Mi Tian Valley. Now, the Tian Shu Alliance only consists of him and another early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator from the Wu Gou Sword Sect.

He immediately destroyed the teleportation array leading to the Qin Dynasty.

Unexpectedly, one accident after another occurred. A few days ago, he was caught up by the ancestral beast Huan Yu, who was also there for revenge.

The divine abilities of the ancestral beast Huan Yu alone were far beyond his ability to defeat, not to mention Ning Fa, whose strength was extremely terrifying.

A sense of despair welled up in his heart, but he still forced himself to stay strong.

In his memory, Ningfa always put the overall situation first and contributed a lot in the war against the two sea monster races.

At this critical moment, he shouldn't just stand by and watch one of his human cultivators, a Nascent Soul cultivator, be killed by an alien race.

If he's willing to make a move, even that terrifyingly powerful ancestral beast will likely have no choice but to retreat.

Thinking of this, he roused himself and stopped a few feet away from Ning Fa, looking at Ning Fa with a mixture of surprise and joy, even choking with emotion as he said:

"Fellow Daoist Ning, you are still alive, and you have even benefited from the misfortune to advance to the Nascent Soul realm. This is truly wonderful!"

At this point, his face filled with grief, he bowed deeply to Ning Fa, and after standing up again, he wept bitterly, saying:
"Fellow Daoist Ning, you may already know about what happened a hundred years ago..."

However, our Tian Shu Alliance was forced into this situation. Faced with the strong coercion of the Qian Yuan Business Alliance and the Nine Immortals Society, we had no choice but to comply.

Wen often lamented Ning Daoyou's plight.

Seeing that Fellow Daoist Ning is blessed with good fortune, not only returning safely but also advancing to the Nascent Soul stage, Wen is extremely excited.

Our human race has gained another pillar of strength. With Fellow Daoist Ning leading the way, defeating the sea demon race and the sea monster race should only be a matter of time.

"And my Heavenly Pivot Alliance, from this day forward, is willing to obey Fellow Daoist Ning's commands."

After hearing these words, Ning Fa was so angry he almost laughed.

He had spent a lot of time with this Nascent Soul cultivator, but he never knew that the other party would be so shameless, saying such high-sounding words to try to fool him at a time like this.

Seeing Ning Fa's cold smile, Wen Yuchen cried even harder: "Fellow Daoist Ning, if you still harbor resentment about what happened a hundred years ago, you may kill me or torture me as you please."

But this is a critical moment in our war against the human race and the sea monsters. Fellow Daoist Ning may not know that the sea race is preparing to set up a teleportation array, and we must intervene to stop them.

We urge you to allow Wen to atone for his crimes and make contributions to the human race.

At this moment, the ancestral beast Huan Yu also stopped behind, looking at Ning Fa with a half-smile:

“Fellow Daoist Ning, it’s wonderful that you’re still alive. But what do you mean by this person? Are you really going to protect him? Don’t forget what we went through a hundred years ago. Fellow Daoist Huangfu also risked his life to help you…”

Ning Fa said expressionlessly, "Protect him? Of course... impossible."

Before he could finish speaking, Ning Fa had already vanished in a burst of purple light.

Wen Yuchen's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly activated the whisk and black dragon scissors in his hand with all his might to protect himself firmly.

Immediately, dense purple lightning surged around him, enveloping him like a sea of ​​lightning. Within the sea of ​​lightning, it surged and churned, with various colors of spiritual light flashing, emitting an astonishing fluctuation of spiritual power.

But after only three breaths, everything returned to calm.

After the light dissipated, Ningfa's figure reappeared.

He remained calm, his right hand gripping Wen Yuchen's neck. The man's body was curled up like a shrimp, his eyes tightly closed, his fate unknown.
