Longevity Thunder Ancestor

Chapter 1045 The Power of the Heavenly Book (Part 1)

Despite only slightly touching this spiritual pressure, the group of Nascent Soul cultivators were still thrown backward without any resistance, spitting out blood.

If it weren't for the protection of the Ancestral Mark, this attack would have killed them instantly.

Qi Hui also pawed at the ground with all four hooves, then suddenly raised his head and roared.

In an instant, a special scale on its forehead detached from its body, shattered with a bang, and turned into a blue halo.

A terrifying spiritual pressure rapidly rose from the halo, as if an extremely frightening being was descending, and the entire hall trembled violently.

The space around the blue halo trembled violently, as if two extremely terrifying forces were fighting each other.

Then a palm-sized phantom flew out from the halo, its shape remarkably similar to Qi Hui's, and vanished into its body in a flash.

At this moment, as Qi Hui roared, his aura surged wildly, far exceeding the limits of the Nascent Soul stage.

Its body suddenly rose up and charged towards the azure curved blade.

With a deafening roar, the two collided, and an extremely terrifying surge of spiritual energy swept out.

At this moment, the Nascent Soul cultivators had barely recovered from the impact. Upon seeing this scene, they all turned pale. In the face of such terrifying power, they were simply like ants.

As they frantically fled towards the palace gate, they unleashed their most powerful techniques in an attempt to withstand the terrifying spiritual pressure.

Fortunately, the Ancestral Mark hovering above their heads once again exerted its power, and the protective shield around them became much thicker.

A series of loud bangs rang out as the Nascent Soul cultivators were slammed against the palace walls by the terrifying force.

One by one, they coughed up blood and their life force diminished drastically.

Fortunately, he was protected by the Ancestral Mark, and although he was seriously injured, his life was not in danger.

Just then, that special rain and mist suddenly floated up in the air again, and under the nourishment of this rain and mist, everyone's condition was rapidly recovering.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but also couldn't help but smile bitterly. The feeling of having one's life and death completely in the hands of others was truly awful.

Sure enough, within the next incense stick's time, several more surges of spiritual energy came crashing down.

Each time, they would leave everyone half-dead, but fortunately, there was that special rain and mist that allowed them to recover quickly.

At this moment, Ning Fa frowned, a sense of unease lingering in his heart.

He glanced around and saw Ling Yuqing, whose expression was as calm as still water, and his brows furrowed even more.

At this moment, in the center of the hall, with another fierce impact, the azure giant blade and the water unicorn-like spirit beast separated once again.

At this moment, the ring of aquamarine runes on the surface of the giant aquamarine blade had become dim.

The water unicorn was in an even worse state, covered in countless wounds from which blue blood gushed. A deep gash appeared on its left cheek, and its left eye was empty.

Not far away, Si Chenxing floated unharmed in the air, her eyes still calm.

Just then, the mysterious runes on the surface of the azure giant blade lit up again, and the terrifying pressure rose once more.

Seeing this, a hint of fear flashed in the water unicorn's single eye, and it frantically shouted at Si Chenxing:
"Your calculations are wrong. Xuanling's restored power is much stronger than you said!"

"I can no longer connect with my original body or draw upon its power. I definitely can't withstand this attack. You need to think of something!"

Before the words were even finished, the azure giant blade slashed down again.

The water unicorn roared madly, trying to muster all its remaining strength to resist once more.

Just then, Si Chenxing suddenly clenched his right hand, and a strange wave of spiritual energy instantly spread throughout the entire hall.

Ning Fa's unease grew stronger.

He suddenly turned his head and saw Ling Yuqing looking at him not far away.

The woman's lips curled slightly, a mysterious smile playing on her lips.

Ningfa frowned, feeling increasingly uneasy.

Just then, the Ancestral Mark above everyone's heads suddenly shone brightly.

Immediately afterwards, a special blue light array appeared beneath everyone.

Strangely, no such light array appeared beneath Ling Yuqing, Su Ri, and Mei Danlun, and the Ancestral Marks above their heads had disappeared at some point.

"not good!"

Ning Fa did not hesitate to communicate with the Heavenly Book of Crossing Origins and immediately absorbed the Ancestral Mark above his head. Then he immediately looked at the people beside him.

The next moment, the Ancestral Marks above the heads of Ning Daozhen, Dan Hongzi, Xuyuan Jushi, Lu Caifu, and Ye Zangfeng also disappeared, absorbed by the Heavenly Book.

Almost simultaneously, the blue light arrays beneath the others suddenly blazed brightly, and their figures vanished.

On the other side, the Xuan Tian Blade had already struck down again, but the water unicorn vanished in a strange flash of blue light.

At the same time, in its original location, there appeared more than a dozen bewildered figures, who were the Nascent Soul cultivators who had been suddenly teleported there.

Faced with the incoming Xuan Tian Blade, these cultivators' faces were filled with terror, and they did not hesitate to use their respective life-saving items.

These were all bestowed upon them by their Nascent Soul Ancestor, enabling them to inflict damage even on Nascent Soul cultivators.

However, in the face of such a treasure, they were like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, and were all crushed.

A terrifying spiritual pressure erupted. Under this indescribable, terrifying power, these Nascent Soul cultivators, considered top-tier experts in the human realm, were utterly powerless to resist and were instantly annihilated.

This time, even the Ancestral Mark above their heads couldn't save them.

This included powerful figures such as Feng Zhao, Jin Yao, and Yuan Gang from the demon race, and Frigg, Hathaway, and Lor from the sea race, as well as Lin Wuji, Cang He, Chong Li, and Shen Cizhou from the Great Qin Dynasty.

After delivering that attack, the Xuan Tian Blade flashed with blue light, and Xuan Ling's figure reappeared.

His face was pale, and his eyes were filled with terror.

He suddenly looked at Si Chenxing and shouted frantically, "You deserve to die! How could you use such a dirty trick!"

At this moment, the void in the hall began to fluctuate violently, and soon a transparent figure about ten feet tall appeared.

His face was blurred, but he exuded unimaginable majesty. He raised his right hand and grabbed Xuan Ling directly.

With a sudden grip, Xuan Ling shattered, and his aura dissipated as well.

The transparent figure quickly disappeared, leaving a blue broken blade floating in the air.

Although it looks no different from the previous one, only its spiritual light has dimmed considerably, that special spirituality has already dissipated.

Seeing all this from afar, Ningfa broke out in a cold sweat, feeling terrified.

He finally understood the mysterious woman Si Chenxing's scheme.

Clearly, the Abyss Ancestor was not here, or more accurately, the Abyss Ancestor was unable to contact the Abyss Heavenly Pool at this time.

Therefore, Si Chenxing, as the spirit of the Mingyuan Heavenly Pool, has considerable authority.

She may have contacted Ling Yuqing long ago and used special methods to make several powerful figures in the cultivation world sense the existence of the Mingyuan Heavenly Pool, thus sending powerful figures here.

Furthermore, it restricts Nascent Soul cultivators from entering. Although these Nascent Soul cultivators who entered here obtained many precious items through the trials, they were actually just being used by Si Chenxing.

The Ancestral Marks they obtained through the trials were clearly protected by the Ancestral Power left behind in this place.

This woman was using these people not to fight against Xuan Ling.

Their real purpose was to get Xuan Ling to kill them.

This would trigger the power of the Ancestral Source here, directly obliterating Xuan Ling.

Ling Yuqing was able to remove the Ancestral Mark at the last moment because she had already pledged allegiance to Si Chenxing.

This was also thanks to Ning Fa, who realized something was wrong and hurriedly had the Heavenly Book absorb his and several others' ancestral imprints.

At this moment, Ning Daozhen, Dan Hongzi, Xuyuan Jushi, Lu Caifu, Ye Zangfeng, and the others beside him were all drenched in cold sweat and looked terrified, as if they had just walked through the gates of hell.

They looked at each other, both very surprised that they had escaped unharmed.

Little did they know that it was actually Ningfa who communicated with the Heavenly Book and absorbed the mark.

Ning Daozhen glanced at Ning Fa secretly, a thoughtful look appearing in his eyes.

Ning Fa felt regretful, as Shen Cizhou had been too far away to save the man.

At this moment, Ling Yuqing's smile froze, and she stared at Ning Fa in disbelief.

She clearly couldn't understand why Ning Fa was able to remove the Ancestral Mark from his body.

She even had a vague feeling that the others were spared because of Ning Fa's schemes.

The reason is simple: these people happen to be those who have a good relationship with Ning Fa.

At this moment, Lu Caifu seemed to understand something as well. She looked at Ning Fa with a suspicious expression, her beautiful eyes filled with doubt and uncertainty. She even secretly asked in her voice, "Fellow Daoist Ning, was it you who saved me just now?"

Just then, a burst of wild laughter rang out, and the water unicorn appeared on the other side.

Although it was in a miserable state, it burst into wild laughter.

After laughing, he glanced at Si Chenxing with some apprehension.

After all, Si Chenxing hadn't consulted him about what she was doing, which made him feel uneasy.

Immediately, a flash of inspiration appeared on his body, and he flew towards the broken blade floating in the air.

But then an invisible barrier blocked his way.

Qi Hui immediately roared at Si Chenxing, "What do you mean by this? Are you trying to break our agreement?!"

Si Chenxing ignored him and instead looked at Ning Fa, a strange light appearing in her beautiful eyes.

Just now, she felt that terrifying power again, the same power that had devoured the Ancestral Mark on Ning Fa's head.

Then she looked at Qi Hui and said calmly, "That's right. Now that Xuan Ling has been dealt with, there's no need for you to exist anymore. After all, I don't want your true form to come looking for me one day."

Qi Hui was furious at first, then sneered: "How naive. Xuan Ling is dead, and no one can wield the Xuan Tian Blade anymore, not even you."

Even if I'm in poor condition right now, how could you, or those ants, possibly handle me?

After saying that, Qi Hui was not in a hurry to break through the barrier in front of him. Instead, he opened his mouth wide and began to inhale and exhale the surrounding spiritual energy. His aura was also rapidly recovering.
