Longevity: Starting with an infant's innate growth potential

In the vast star field, a small warship flew swiftly.

On the deck of the warship, Commander Zhang was intently controlling the ship's direction.

This star field is shrouded in malevolent mist, and there are even malevolent mist storms.

If one is not careful, the warship could be swept into it.

This is extremely dangerous.

Therefore, extremely experienced cultivators are needed to operate the warships and avoid these evil fog storms.

Among human cultivators, every warship requires a Nascent Soul cultivator to pilot.

"Boss, after we go to Cloud Sea Immortal City this time, will we ever go back to Stone Rock Wasteland Star?"

On the deck, watching the gradually receding Stone Rock Wasteland Star, Qi Jianzhi asked Zhou Ling a question.

"It depends on the situation."

"If the war with the Golden-Eyed Spirit Clan ends quickly, we will definitely come back."

"We can only wait and see how this great battle unfolds."

Zhou Ling said in a deep voice.

This trial has now been going on for more than three months.

There are still more than two months left.

Next, if Cloud Sea Immortal City is breached in the great battle between Cloud Sea Immortal City and the Golden-Eyed Spirit Clan, then naturally there will be no need for them to continue the trial.

However, if Cloud Sea Immortal City wins a great victory and there is enough time, they will still have to return to Stone Rock Wasteland Star.

"Don't think too much about it. The key is the upcoming battle with the Golden-Eyed Spirit Clan."

Zhou Ling then gave Qi Jianzhi some more instructions.

"With the boss by my side, I have nothing to be afraid of."

Qi Jianzhi patted his chest and said confidently.

With Zhou Ling's current points, it's almost certain he'll secure first place in this trial.

This was something no one had anticipated before the trial began.

After all, among the four great grotto heavens, the Immortal Sect and the Heavenly Palace have always been stronger than the Dao Alliance and the Desolate Domain.

This time, they not only suffered no casualties, but also overwhelmed the other three grotto-heavens, leaving them with almost no chance to fight back.

"The upcoming battle will definitely be extremely fierce. Everyone should form a sword formation to fight the enemy so that we can exert our maximum combat power."

Zhou Ling glanced at Feng Lan and the others, and said seriously.

With the power of the Azure Lotus Sword Formation, there shouldn't be any risks as long as it doesn't involve a fifth-tier Golden-Eyed Spirit Clan member.

In such a great battle, a fifth-order Golden-Eyed Spirit Race would definitely have a Human Nascent Soul cultivator to fight against them.

They don't need to worry.

Moreover, they were merely trial cultivators, not regular troops of Cloud Sea Immortal City, and would certainly not be assigned to deal with the fifth-order Golden-Eyed Spirit Clan.

"Yes, take the head."

Feng Lan and the others bowed in response.

Now everyone has great faith in Zhou Ling.

Even Yan Yutian was willing to follow Zhou Ling's orders.

Their attitude was completely different from when they first started the trial.

Originally, Yan Yutian had no choice but to obey Zhou Ling's orders.

But now they fully acknowledge Zhou Ling's strength.

He's much better than him.

The only way forward is to focus on cultivation so that I may have a chance to catch up with Zhou Ling in the future.

Just as Zhou Ling was about to say something more, a sense of vigilance suddenly arose in his heart, and the [Crisis Simulation] indicator flashed rapidly.

"not good!"

Zhou Ling suddenly shouted.

Just then, a cloud of malevolent mist drifted by half a mile away, and from within the mist, a gigantic, dark, thunderous hand suddenly slammed out.

Accompanied by rolling thunder, it instantly bombarded the warship.

"Enemy attack!"

Commander Zhang's expression darkened, and he roared as he activated the warship's defensive shield with all his might.

"Boom!"

The giant thunder hand slammed violently against the defensive light shield.

The next moment, the warship trembled violently, and a terrifying shock came. Before anyone could react, their blood boiled.

There was a loud bang.

The defensive shield, comparable to a high-grade fourth-tier magic weapon, instantly collapsed.

The giant thunderous hand, though its light dimmed slightly, still hurtled down on Zhou Ling with unstoppable momentum.

"Purple Heaven Thunder Qi!"

Looking at the giant thunder hand, a cold glint flashed in Zhou Ling's eyes.

With his intermediate observation and analysis skills, he immediately realized that this was an attack condensed from Zixiao's magical power.

Despite the opponent's best efforts to conceal their magical aura, the two gifted individuals could not hide it at all.

Only cultivators of the Purple Cloud Sect can control the power of the Purple Cloud Thunder.

Those capable of achieving such power are extremely rare.

In a flash of thought, Zhou Ling immediately assessed the situation of the person who had appeared.

He immediately had a thought and waved his sleeve.

A blazing flame surged forth from his hand, like a blazing sun, and crashed fiercely against the giant thunder hand.

"Boom!"

The thunderous giant hand and the blazing sun-scorching flames unleashed a fierce attack.

It flashed violently before dissipating.

In the starry sky, a figure in black robes appeared.

Everyone was greatly shocked when they saw the figure in black robes.

No one expected that the attackers were actually human cultivators.

Although he was shrouded in a black robe and wore a mask that concealed his aura, his appearance was not clearly visible.

However, the aura emanating from him was that of a human cultivator.

"Who are you? Why are you attacking us?"

Commander Zhang shouted loudly.

The other party intentionally concealed their aura, and even with his peak Nascent Soul cultivation, he couldn't discern the specifics for the time being.

"Liu Zhengjia, I never expected you to hide in the Youyun Star Region."

Zhou Ling snorted coldly.

He remained calm, but his mind was racing as he considered what to do next.

Liu Zhengjia was a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator and a lightning-attribute cultivator, making him a terrifying fighter.

I'm sure I'm no match for him.

The other party appeared in this place.

It's clear that they've been targeting me for a while now.

He probably already had his eye on me back in Tianxia Immortal City.

They even followed them all the way to the Youyun Starfield.

Now that the opportunity has been seized, we are finally taking action.

The reason for this direct confrontation was to make Liu Zhengjia wary.

After all, everyone present was a prodigy of the Dao Alliance, and they all had powerful family backgrounds.

Liu Zhengjia really dared to target them.

Next, not only Liu Zhengjia, but the entire Liu family will be in trouble.

Sword energy whistled, and the Sunlit Immortal Sword appeared in his hand.

"Liu Zhengjia!"

"Liu Zhengjia!"

Upon hearing Zhou Ling's words, everyone gasped in surprise.

Qi Jianzhi and the others all knew that the Dao Alliance was currently making every effort to apprehend Liu Zhengjia.

How come he is here?

They also ambushed them.

Everyone looked solemn, but were filled with rage.

They risked their lives to fight the Golden-Eyed Spirit Clan, while Liu Zhengjia, also a human, ambushed them here.

The next moment, Zhou Ling said in a deep voice, "Feng Lan and Commander Zhang, lead the warships northward, and I will go southward."

“This person will definitely pursue me. You should return to Cloud Sea Immortal City as soon as possible and inform City Lord Chen of this situation.”

"Chief Zhou, isn't it too dangerous for you to go alone!"

Feng Lan said with a solemn expression.

But as soon as Zhou Ling finished speaking, his entire body shot off towards the south.

Commander Zhang also knew that following Zhou Ling's plan was the best tactic.

Without hesitation, he instantly steered the warship, transforming into a streak of light and shooting northward. Seeing this, the black-robed figure trembled slightly, his heart filled with both shock and anger.

Surprisingly, Zhou Ling saw through his tricks at a glance.

However, given the current situation, he naturally wouldn't admit it.

If we really had to wipe out all of them, it would be good if we could at least destroy the evidence.

But if the news gets out, he'll definitely be doomed.

He was also aware of the reason why he was still able to remain hidden within the Dao Alliance.

It means that the various powerful families reached a tacit agreement with the Liu family to give the Liu family face.

Otherwise, if they pursue you with all their might, there's absolutely no way you can escape.

The only option now is to act quickly.

Kill Zhou Ling first, then catch up with the warship as soon as possible.

It would be best to silence them.

If not, no one would conclude that they are Liu Zhengjia based on Zhou Ling's words.

In an instant, his figure transformed into a black streak of light, chasing after Zhou Ling.

This star field is shrouded in malevolent mist, which is extremely unfavorable for using domain techniques.

But right now, he can't worry about that anymore.

Lightning surged in his hand.

In an instant, a giant thunder hand, half an acre in size, condensed once more.

"Boom!"

Purple lightning surged forth, piercing through patches of malevolent mist.

The giant thunderous hand instantly traversed thousands of feet of void, appearing in front of Zhou Ling and crashing down.

Zhou Ling's gaze darkened, and the Blazing Sun Flame instantly flowed into the Sun Immortal Sword, unleashing a blazing sword sun that roared forth.

Facing the fierce bombardment of the giant thunder hand.

Liu Zhengjia is a genuine mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, and his Purple Cloud Technique has reached its perfect state.

The condensed lightning domain attack was almost flawless.

Even with the combined observation and analysis of his two talents, he could not find any weaknesses.

He could only unleash the full power of the Sunlit Immortal Sword to clash head-on with him.

"Boom!"

Sword Sun and Thunder Giant Hand bombarded each other fiercely.

A deafening thunderclap erupted.

The surrounding malevolent mist continued to dissipate under the attack of these two powerful domains.

But soon, Zhou Ling's expression changed.

His body was enveloped in surging spiritual flames.

The True Fire of Qianyang and the Earth Spirit Fire swept out.

He transformed into a giant fire turtle and a fire dragon, who helped him from all sides.

Under the bombardment of the massive lightning domain, the golden sword sun continued to dissipate.

Not only that, the lightning condensed from the giant thunder hand exploded into a burst of lightning, unexpectedly striking towards Zhou Ling.

Zhou Ling's body erupted with lightning, and in an instant, the Purple Heaven Emperor Image materialized.

A giant, thunderous fist, radiating boundless thunderous power, slammed towards the lightning.

[You are currently casting the Purple Heaven Emperor's Manifestation. Thunder Amplification +1, Purple Heaven Emperor's Manifestation Minor Power +2]

As his talent emerged, Zhou Ling's Purple Emperor Image instantly doubled in size.

The pressure was astonishing!

"Boom!"

The lightning domain clashed fiercely with the giant fist of the Purple Cloud.

Thunder roared.

It took several breaths before they both collapsed and vanished.

"What a powerful Thunder Domain."

Zhou Ling felt the powerful suppressive force of the opponent's lightning domain, which made him feel a booming sensation all over his body, as if his entire body was about to become part of the lightning.

Fortunately, the two spiritual flames had reached the fifth level and also possessed certain domain rules, which was why they were able to block the opponent's lightning domain attack.

This is the domain of rules controlled by a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Even a Nascent Soul cultivator at the peak of his cultivation level would be powerless against such a domain of rules.

After all, the power of the Dharma form condensed by a Nascent Soul cultivator is only the initial power of rules.

There is a huge gap between it and the rules of the Nascent Soul cultivator's domain.

However, the opponent's Thunder Domain does not contain only one domain rule.

At the same time, Zhou Ling felt as if the thunderous magic power within his body had been activated, actually bombarding his meridians.

It seemed to have become beyond his control.

"The Purple Heaven Emperor's Image Condenses!"

Zhou Ling roared and activated the Purple Heaven Immortal Thunder Technique with all his might.

Thunderous roars erupted within his body.

[You are currently under attack by a lightning domain. Five Elements Lightning Qi +1, Lightning Power Absorption +4]

As the [Five Elements Thunderous Aura] talent coalesced, the thunderous rules that surged into his body were directly absorbed by Zhou Ling.

It quickly merged into the lightning-attribute golden core.

The surging thunder within his body gradually subsided.

"I never imagined that besides mastering the Sunlit Immortal Sword, you had also reached such a high level of mastery in the Purple Heaven Immortal Thunder Technique."

Seeing that Zhou Ling was able to block his lightning domain, Liu Zhengjia's eyes flashed with cold light.

It seems unbelievable.

You must understand, this is the domain of rules for Nascent Soul cultivators.

Moreover, his lightning rules are still extremely powerful in the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

The determination to kill Zhou Ling in his heart became even stronger.

Such terrifying combat power even at the Golden Core realm.

In the future, let alone reaching the Nascent Soul stage, even reaching the Divine Transformation stage would be extremely terrifying.

With a single hand pressing down in the air, the giant thunder hand unleashed a torrent of violent lightning.

At this moment, under its bombardment, the Golden Sun Sword Domain continued to shrink.

Zhou Ling's expression turned solemn as his thoughts raced, realizing that the Sunlit Immortal Sword wouldn't last much longer.

With a thought, the Qianyang True Fire roared out and directly poured into the Sun Immortal Sword.

It merges with the Blazing Sun Flame, simultaneously activating the Sunlit Immortal Sword.

On the Sunlit Immortal Sword, another ray of sword light rolled forth.

It lunged towards the giant thunder hand.

The two fierce attacks of the sword suns momentarily halted the berserk attack of the giant thunder hand.

Upon seeing this, Liu Zhengjia snorted coldly, and his internal magical power surged forth.

A colossal thunderous hand crashed down, aiming to annihilate the two swords and the Sun Immortal Sword.

Without the Sunlit Immortal Sword, dealing with Zhou Ling would be a piece of cake.

Zhou Ling's expression was extremely solemn. Under the [Intermediate Analysis], he knew that with his two sword yang attacks, he would not be able to break through this thunder domain.

Trapped in this Thunder Domain, once Jian Yang is exhausted, he will be killed by Liu Zhengjia sooner or later.

His gaze shifted, and then he let out a loud shout as the two sword beams suddenly merged together.

A flash of golden light appeared all around, condensing into a vast golden sword domain, which swiftly and unexpectedly struck the giant thunder hand.

The thunder and golden sword light intertwined and resounded through the sky.

The giant thunder hand trembled violently, and the surrounding lightning suddenly dimmed.

The Sunlit Immortal Sword shot out swiftly.

At this moment, Zhou Ling, controlling the Sunlit Immortal Sword, forcefully carved out an opening in Liu Zhengjia's Thunder Domain.

Zhou Ling unleashed his full power, his body instantly spanning over a thousand feet, directly plunging into a storm of malevolent mist.

Even if they escape from Liu Zhengjia's lightning domain, their speed is no match for his.

They will be caught up soon.

The only option is to take a gamble and hide in the storm of evil fog.

Even with his formidable strength, Liu Zhengjia was still vulnerable amidst this raging, malevolent mist.

However, the use of lightning domains will also be greatly suppressed.

Its power is greatly reduced.

With his many talents, he was able to navigate the evil fog with ease.

Seeing that Zhou Ling had actually broken through the lightning domain and escaped into the evil mist.

Liu Zhengjia's pupils suddenly contracted, and he roared, "Today is your death day, and you absolutely cannot escape."

As soon as he finished speaking, his entire body shot towards the evil mist.

Although he knew there were risks in the evil mist, he was determined to succeed this time and couldn't afford to worry about anything else. (End of Chapter)
