Longevity Thunder Ancestor

Chapter 1087 Fierce Battle Against a Nascent Soul Transformation (Part Two)
At this moment, the incredibly powerful deep blue giant claw finally dissipated under the relentless wear and tear of the lotus of sword energy.

Seeing this, Ning Fa felt a slight sense of relief.

It seems that even though this demon is a whole realm higher than me, my Five Elements Thunder Body still has an effect on suppressing this kind of thunder-attribute creature.

This was also his greatest source of confidence in confronting this powerful Nascent Soul demon cultivator, after all, Ying Xiao was no ordinary Nascent Soul demon cultivator.

This is why he stayed to fight this demon, rather than Bai Ning, another Nascent Soul demon cultivator who was slightly weaker.

Ying Xiao said with a sinister expression, "You do have some skill. Now I'll give you a chance. I'll have you plant a soul restriction on me and serve me as your master. In return, I can spare your life."

Ignoring all legal principles, Ning changed his hand seals again, intending to unleash other supernatural powers.

But at this moment, his newly cultivated Immaculate Sword Heart suddenly emitted a clear and melodious sword cry, and began to throb wildly.

Immediately afterwards, the lotus flower of sword energy that had been closing him up burst into bloom, and countless lotus petals of sword energy scattered out like rain, making a hissing sound as they slashed wildly toward his right.

Almost simultaneously, Ying Xiao's figure suddenly appeared in that direction, and a few miles away from where he had been standing, a lingering image slowly dissipated.

This speed is almost like teleportation, or to be precise, it is even more exaggerated than the teleportation of an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator.

At this moment, Ying Xiao was less than ten feet away from Ning Fa. A look of surprise appeared on his face, but his hand moved without slowing down. His fair and jade-like right hand suddenly grabbed out.

The sword energy lotus petals formed by Ning Fa's third step of sword intent shattered without any resistance.

But with this barrier in place, amidst a series of sword cries, the five Heavenly Tribulation Swords merged back into one, spinning rapidly to transform into a long rainbow of sword energy, carrying a tidal wave of thunderous power, and fiercely slashed towards the demon.

Ning Fa was startled, and a chill ran down his spine.

This demon's speed is simply too fast; even if he were to unleash his lightning escape technique, he would likely be outmatched.

This is understandable, since this demon's true form is not only a spirit bird, but also possesses both wind and thunder attributes, which greatly enhances its escape speed.

I'm afraid that in the entire human realm, only those few Nascent Soul demon cultivators whose true forms are also celestial spirit birds can match its speed.

Although his divine sense had just detected the demon's movements, his physical reaction was a beat too slow.

Fortunately, after he reached the third level of swordsmanship, his immaculate sword heart had already anticipated the demon's attack, allowing him to intercept it in time.

Ying Xiao snorted coldly, a sinister smile creeping onto his lips. His right hand reached out again towards the rainbow of sword energy, sharp, deep blue arcs of electricity crackling around his fingertips, carving deep furrows into the void.

This demon had already set its sights on this, intending to tear Ning Fa's natal magic weapon apart with a single grab.

But his expression quickly changed again. The moment his right hand touched the long rainbow of sword energy, it felt as if he had encountered a swamp.

The originally violent blue arc of electricity in his hand dissipated rapidly like melting ice and snow, instantly weakening the power of his claw attack by half.

With a deafening roar, the sword energy slammed into his palm, unleashing a dazzling surge of spiritual energy. For a moment, the two were locked in a stalemate.

The Heavenly Calamity Sword unleashed streaks of five-colored lightning, mercilessly bombarding Ying Xiao's right hand.

Ying Xiao first sneered, and was about to unleash his unique lightning attribute talent, which was also the nemesis of other lightning attribute creatures.

But soon his expression changed, because he could no longer use his supernatural power.

To Ying Xiao's astonishment, the bombardment of the five-colored electric arcs caused his extremely powerful Nascent Soul cultivator's entire right palm and arm to be torn open and charred.

Even under the five-colored electric arcs, Ying Xiao's vast and boundless lightning spiritual power seemed to be sealed, and its operation felt sluggish.

In a flash of inspiration, Ying Xiao's figure vanished instantly, returning to the spot where he had been standing several miles away.

At this moment, his entire right arm was charred black, with residual five-colored arcs of electricity still raging.

Ying Xiao didn't even use his internal energy to extinguish the remaining electric arcs; instead, he looked at Ning Fa with a ghostly expression.

He finally understood why he felt like he had encountered his natural enemy.

It should be noted that when he advanced to the third tier, he comprehended a powerful lightning-attribute divine ability—Thunder Devouring—which could forcibly devour the lightning spiritual power of other lightning-attribute beings.

This domineering innate ability has made him the nemesis of other lightning-attribute beings of the same level.

Whether it's a cultivator or another demon beast, even if their cultivation level is higher than his, he can still defeat them.

Especially after he advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, greatly enhancing that innate divine power, he became even more effective at restraining other lightning-attribute beings, which is why he often called himself the King of Thunder.

But now, facing this human Lei Xiu who is only at the Nascent Soul stage, his powerful innate divine ability has failed him, and he is instead being suppressed by the other party.

This even gave him the feeling that he might be cultivating too fast recently and experiencing inner demons and illusions.

This gave Ying Xiao a feeling of absurdity.

His face was extremely gloomy as he looked at the five-colored lightning surrounding Ning Fa in the distance, and a long-forgotten memory suddenly surged into his mind.

Then, as if he had just realized something, his expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed in astonishment, "Could it be that you possess the legendary—Five Elements Thunder Body?"

At this point, even Ying Xiao's fierce eyes couldn't help but reveal a look of fear.

Information about the Five Elements Thunder Body was briefly mentioned in the information he received from the source of his bloodline when he advanced to the Nascent Soul stage.

They said that beings with the Five Elements Thunder Body are the nemesis of their race, and that they should stay far away from them if they encounter them in the future.

Ning Fa remained silent. After making a hand seal, a dazzling purple lightning burst forth from his body, and a powerful aura, as strong as the sun, rapidly rose within it.

Almost instantly, a purple lightning giant several meters tall appeared.

He was dressed in a magnificent suit of thunder armor, with a mysterious thunder rune resembling a sharp sword on his chest, a thunder crown on his head, and a five-colored thunder halo flickering behind him.

Raging lightning emanated from his body, clouds rose and thunder surged, and the world changed color in an instant. A terrifying pressure that seemed capable of destroying the world emanated from him, like a god descending from the thunder.

Faced with this powerful Nascent Soul demon cultivator, Ning Fa did not hesitate to activate his strongest form—the Divine Firmament Dharma Image, which had already reached the first stage of transformation.

Ying Xiao's expression was extremely ugly. The feeling of seeing a natural enemy in his heart grew stronger, which also made him certain that Ning Fa did indeed possess the Five Elements Thunder Body, and it seemed that the cultivation technique he practiced was also extraordinary.

At this moment, after the other party activated his Dharma Aspect Divine Power, he already felt as if he were facing a cultivator of the same level.

He took a deep breath, his eyes filled with a chilling light, and said, "Since you possess the Five Elements Thunder Body, then I cannot let you live in this world! Today, even if it costs me some of my lifespan, I will definitely kill you!"

His response was met with hundreds and thousands of lightning sword energies, condensed to the extreme, slashing wildly at him from all directions.

At the same time, a loud roar was heard.

The four tornadoes that were blocking Wuxin Jushi and his companions nearby were now teetering on the brink of collapse due to Ying Xiao's distraction and the vigorous attacks of Wuxin Jushi and his group. They were about to be broken through.

Ying Xiao snorted coldly, and with a sudden sway of his shoulder, a figure shrouded in a hazy blue light, its face obscured, detached from his body.

The light and shadow split into four, instantly falling into the four deep blue tornadoes. The deep blue tornadoes, which had been teetering on the brink of collapse under the impact of Master Wuxin and the others, were stabilized again.

As Ying Xiao raised his hands, a bluish-black fingertip appeared on each of his ten fingers amidst a flash of spiritual light.

Each of these finger gloves had a different mysterious rune on its surface, which shimmered with a cold, eerie light as if echoing each other.

As if there was a mysterious connection between them, a terrifying spiritual pressure rose from them.

This was clearly a powerful spiritual treasure, and a rare complete set of spiritual treasures at that.

Although demon cultivators value their powerful bodies most, it doesn't mean they won't use treasures to enhance their strength.

However, most demon cultivators rely on treasures as a secondary tool to maximize the advantage of their powerful physical bodies.

Take Ying Xiao for example. His two sharp claws are his most powerful weapons, which is why he spent a lot of resources to create such a magical finger glove.

Using such a treasure against a mere human Nascent Soul cultivator would be beneath his dignity.

But after confirming that Ning Fa possessed the Five Elements Thunder Body, he disregarded all else and only sought to kill Ning Fa before the terrifyingly powerful Tianbao Immortal Merchant could come to his aid.

A sinister smile crept across Ying Xiao's face. He extended his right index finger, and the runes on the surface of the fingertip flashed wildly. The surrounding world instantly turned pitch black, while Ying Xiao's fingertip emitted a dazzling blue light, as if it had absorbed all the light in the world.

Then, Ying Xiao casually slashed in front of him, and with a flash of blue light, a clear wind blade shot out.

Amidst a piercing whistle, it instantly transformed into an incredibly long and narrow circular wind blade, sweeping outwards with overwhelming force.

At this moment, Ying Xiao's powerful attack contained only strong wind spiritual power, with no lightning spiritual power at all, clearly indicating that he did not want to suffer any more losses.

Although he mainly cultivated the lightning attribute after advancing to the Nascent Soul stage, his wind attribute supernatural abilities were still extremely terrifying, especially with the blessing of this spiritual treasure.

The surrounding void rippled like waves on a lake, creating intense ripples.

The thunderous sword energy that swept in from all directions dissipated the moment it touched this wind blade.

In an instant, the circular wind blade condensed into a wind blade only the size of a palm, trembling violently, emitting a spiritual pressure far exceeding that of before, before disappearing in a flash.

With a deafening roar, amidst a blinding flash of lightning, Ning Fa was thrown backward, retreating more than ten miles before finally regaining his footing.

He crossed his arms in front of him, and a thin, narrow crack appeared on the surface of each of his two Thunder Mountain gauntlets.

This powerful attack from the Nascent Soul cultivator directly shattered Ning Fa's Dharma Aspect Thunder Armor's defense.

The lightning patterns on the surface of the Divine Lightning Armor flickered rapidly, and surging lightning converged towards his fists, quickly repairing the two cracks.

With a thunderous sound, Ning Fa's figure vanished from the spot in an instant.

Almost simultaneously, a ghostly figure appeared behind him, it was Ying Xiao, whose outstretched right claw grasped at nothing.

"Lightning Release Technique!"

Ying Xiao's eyes showed even more apprehension, but he immediately let out a cold snort.

In terms of long-distance escape speed, he might be slightly weaker than the Nascent Soul ancestors of the Ice Phoenix and Fire Phoenix clans.

However, when it comes to movement techniques within a certain range, he is confident that no one in the world can match him, not even a Nascent Soul cultivator could achieve such a feat.

His figure vanished instantly.

The next moment, a hundred feet away, just as Ning Fa appeared, Ying Xiao had already chased after him like a leech, suddenly grabbing with both hands, unleashing a sky full of claw light that enveloped him.

Ning Fa's arms blurred instantly, and in the blink of an eye, he unleashed hundreds and thousands of purple-glowing thunderous fist shadows.

With a deafening roar, the claw and fist shadows vanished, and several fine cracks appeared on the surface of Ningfa Leiyue's gauntlets.

With a flash of lightning, Ning Fa activated his lightning escape technique once more.

Ying Xiao laughed wildly and chased after him relentlessly.

For a moment, the two chased each other at an incredible speed that even a great cultivator's divine sense could hardly detect. Because of their speed, the sky was filled with their afterimages.

It is clear that even though Ning Fa has pushed his speed to the limit, he is still a notch below Ying Xiao.

But at this moment, a layer of bright yellow lightning appeared on the surface of the Divine Firmament Thunder Armor, exuding an aura as heavy as a mountain. It was Ning Fa's Supreme Earth Divine Lightning.

This divine lightning is best at defense. With the blessing of the supreme earth divine lightning, even though Ying Xiao's claws were extremely sharp, he was unable to do anything to Ning Fa for a while.

This intensified the demon's murderous intent.

Ning Fa continued to dodge and weave at lightning speed, without launching any counterattacks. The demon's escape speed was too fast; he needed to wait for an opportunity to trap and beat the demon.

After a short while, seeing that Ning Fa still showed no signs of exhaustion, Ying Xiao's eyes grew even more gloomy.

He suddenly disappeared and reappeared behind Ning Fa the next moment.

But just as Ying Xiao's figure suddenly appeared behind Ning Fa, Ning Fa reacted instantly, a flash of lightning on his body, and he was about to use his lightning escape technique again.

At this moment, Ying Xiao, expressionless, reached out and grabbed out. His right claw had now transformed into a giant claw of a spirit bird.

With a sudden grab, the space within a hundred feet in front of him instantly turned dark blue and became as hard as iron, rendering Ning Fa's lightning escape technique unusable for a moment.

At the same time, with a fierce and malevolent cry, a terrifying phantom of a spirit bird, seemingly blotting out the sky, appeared behind Ying Xiao.

At this moment, Ying Xiao's aura surged, and his powerful divine soul force at the Nascent Soul level crashed down on Ning Fa.

Although Ying Xiao did not cultivate any soul techniques, nor did he comprehend any special soul attack talents or supernatural abilities.

However, as a Nascent Soul cultivator, his soul had been tempered by the Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation, making him strong enough to crush the souls of lower-level beings.

A sinister smile crept across Ying Xiao's face. His five fingers on his right hand flashed with spiritual light as he lunged at Ning Fa's chest with the force to tear mountains and split seas.

But at this moment, a look of horror appeared in Ying Xiao's fierce eyes.

His expression immediately turned ferocious and pained, as if his soul had been severely damaged, and his right claw, which he had unleashed, slowed down.

Ningfa suddenly turned around, and on his deity-like face, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

He had been waiting for Ying Xiao to lose his temper and use his Nascent Soul power to forcefully impact his soul.

Although his soul had not undergone the tempering of the Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation, he did not possess the unique superior pressure of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

However, with the Moon God Technique cultivated to the Moon Soul Crystal Core stage, and the added benefit of the Immaculate Sword Heart, his divine soul was even stronger than Ying Xiao's at this moment.

Therefore, Ying Xiao was caught off guard and immediately suffered a backlash, which gave him this rare opportunity.

At this moment, his eyes spun rapidly like a thunderous vortex, with a silvery-white light emanating from the center of the vortex. The space around him even distorted and became hazy, which was a sign that he was fully activating the Moon God Technique.

At this moment, countless moon-white light blades appeared in Ying Xiao's sea of ​​consciousness, slashing wildly towards Ying Xiao's soul.

Meanwhile, within Ying Xiao's sea of ​​consciousness, there was also a dark cyan phantom of a ferocious bird, frantically shooting out countless feathers to resist the bombardment of the Moon-Slaying Divine Light.

At this moment, the thunderous light wheel behind the Divine Firmament Dharma Image spun rapidly, covering Ying Xiao's outstretched right claw and transforming into five-colored crystals to seal his right hand.

At the same time, the Zhou Tianyan Spirit Mirror flew into the sky. As the runes on the mirror surface flashed wildly, a torrent of lightning surged out, instantly condensing into thick five-colored lightning chains that firmly bound Ying Xiao.

Lightning spread, quickly forming a multicolored thundercloud. At its edge, pillars of lightning appeared, forming a circular cage that trapped Ying Xiao inside.

At this moment, the surrounding天地元气 (heaven and earth energy) surged wildly towards these pillars of lightning, as if boiling.

As these pillars of light grew thicker and more solid, mysterious lightning runes appeared on their surfaces, with terrifying spiritual light surging within them.

Ning Fa unhesitatingly unleashed the most powerful divine ability of the Zhou Tian Yan Ling Jing – the Zhou Tian Thunder Domain.

At this time, Ning Fa had three divine thunders that had reached the innate realm, and the power of the Zhou Tian Thunder Domain was no longer comparable to what it used to be. In particular, his Supreme Wood Divine Thunder had reached the peak of the fourth rank.

But that wasn't all. With a thought, Ning Fa summoned the Heavenly Tribulation Swords that had been hidden in the void. As they trembled, they unleashed even more sword light, creating a vast ocean of sword energy that enveloped the area of ​​several miles.

A moment later, the vast expanse of sword energy vanished instantly.

But the entire space felt heavy and imposing.

The Heavenly Tribulation Sword Formation, which originally required nearly a hundred breaths to set up, can now be completed in just five breaths. This is the bonus brought about by reaching the third step of the sword path.

At this moment, the surrounding天地元气 (heaven and earth energy) surged towards this side even more intensely, making this space resemble a volcano about to erupt, with a terrifying and destructive aura rising within it.

At this moment, a slight smile appeared on Ningfa's divine face.

He ignored the mana, spiritual sense, blood and qi that were being consumed so rapidly within his body, as well as the power of the Five Elements Divine Thunder, and continued to frantically absorb the surrounding天地元气 (heaven and earth energy).

He wanted to see if this Nascent Soul demon cultivator could remain unharmed under the combined attack of his Heavenly Thunder Domain and Heavenly Tribulation Sword Formation.
