Longevity Thunder Ancestor

Chapter 862 Special Place
The scroll unfurled automatically, revealing a portrait of a handsome middle-aged man in a blue robe, standing with his hands behind his back, gazing up at the moon. Although his expression was calm, his imposing presence was astonishing.

After the portrait appeared, the crimson lightning that had been attacking him suddenly stopped and trembled violently, as if it had been affected by some unknown force.

Tianxu Zhenjun was overjoyed, for what he held in his hand was a portrait of Yanyuan Laozu.

Moreover, it is not an ordinary portrait, but a special soul defense magic treasure personally made by Ancestor Yanyuan. It is imbued with Ancestor Yanyuan's soul aura, and now it seems to be effective.

As Tianxu Zhenjun continued to activate the painting, the crimson lightning in front of him vanished into thin air.

Tianxu Zhenjun laughed wildly and was about to continue flying towards the crimson thunder tower.

Just then, a peculiar dragon roar came from below.

A beam of black and white light pierced through the surging halo below and rose up.

The next moment, a figure appeared in the air. This person was dressed in a black and white robe that was tattered, with messy long hair and many wounds on his body. It was none other than Yan Jingchen.

At this moment, his expression was calm yet tinged with a strange look as he stared intently at the crimson lightning tower not far away, as if recalling something. He completely ignored the nearby Heavenly Ruins True Monarch.

Tianxu Zhenjun stopped, his eyes filled with surprise and uncertainty.

He then widened his eyes in disbelief and exclaimed, "You've actually advanced to the late stage! How is that possible!?"

Although Yan Jingchen's spiritual pressure was not apparent, in Tianxu Zhenjun's perception, Yan Jingchen was like a giant mountain, and even he felt a sense of awe.

At this moment, Yan Jingchen's cultivation level had genuinely reached the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, which truly shocked Tianxu Zhenjun.

After all, when Yan Jingchen was still at the peak of the mid-stage Nascent Soul realm, he already possessed strength comparable to a mid-level Grand Master.

Now that he has truly advanced to the late Nascent Soul stage, his strength has naturally been greatly enhanced.

His strength may not have reached the level of a top-tier Grand Cultivator yet, but he has definitely reached the level of an Upper-level Grand Cultivator, and is absolutely one of the best among them. I am definitely no match for him now.

At the same time, True Monarch Tianxu also realized why Yan Jingchen had fought Ning Fa's Five Elements Divine Thunder so frantically.

It's highly likely that he intended to use the stimulation of the Five Elements Divine Thunder to advance his cultivation level, and it seems he actually succeeded.

Tianxu Zhenjun's expression changed several times, but he was, after all, a powerful figure. He took a deep breath and remained calm despite his shock.

With a flick of his right hand, a red talisman appeared in his palm, bearing a pattern of a red fire lotus, which looked mysterious and unpredictable.

A fierce glint flashed in Tianxu Zhenjun's eyes, and he threw it out without hesitation.

This talisman contains a special crimson karmic fire, specifically designed to attack a cultivator's soul.

If even a trace of it is touched, the negative emotions in a cultivator's soul will be ignited and transformed into nourishment for the Red Lotus Karmic Fire.

The stronger the opponent's soul power, the more intense this karmic fire becomes, and it will quickly burn the entire soul to ashes.

Only a long-established power like the Fuling Hall could possess such a terrifying talisman.

This is another trump card of True Monarch Tianxu, besides those two spiritual treasures.

The talisman exploded while it was still some distance from Yan Jingchen, turning into a strange red flame flickering with runes.

It floated and drifted as if it were unreal, then a flash of fire and it disappeared into the void.

But at that moment, Yan Jingchen, who seemed to be in a daze, suddenly raised his right hand.

Black and white lightning crackled in his hand, and a red flame flickered violently in his palm, desperately trying to break free.

However, as the black and white lightning in Yan Jingchen's hand intensified, the ball of red spiritual fire vanished.

"How is this possible!?" Tianxu Zhenjun was dumbfounded. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that the Red Lotus Karmic Fire could be extinguished so easily.

At this moment, Yan Jingchen turned to look at him and said calmly, "This is my property, not something you can touch."

As soon as he finished speaking, a beam of light rose from his body, and he flew towards the crimson lightning tower.

"Leave it here!" Although Tianxu Zhenjun was shocked, he naturally could not give up this heaven-reaching spiritual treasure, and immediately shouted angrily.

As he flipped his right hand, a dark blue ring appeared, and he was about to unleash it.

But at that moment, the crimson lightning tower suddenly shone brightly with crimson light, and a crimson lightning bolt emanated from it, transforming into a lightning chain that swiftly wrapped around the waist of True Monarch Tianxu.

Tianxu Zhenjun immediately felt his entire body's magical power being imprisoned, and the ring in his hand, which had been shining brightly, became dim.

Tianxu was immediately horrified, his heart filled with shock.

"How could he activate this treasure?!"

Just then, a startling thunderclap came from the still raging halo below.

A figure rushed forward amidst the five-colored lightning, followed by a long sword crackling with five-colored lightning, slashing towards Yan Jingchen.

The person who arrived was none other than Ning Fa.

Yan Jingchen turned slightly, glanced at it expressionlessly, and then flicked his right hand, sending a lightning dragon formed from black and white lightning lunging at the five-colored spirit sword.

At the same time, he made a grabbing motion in the air with his right hand, and the crimson thunder tower landed steadily in his hand.

He slightly curled the corners of his mouth, then with a gentle shake, a bolt of lightning shot out from the tower, transforming once again into those special lightning chains, attempting to use the same trick to imprison Ning Fa.

However, the lightning chain stopped in mid-air, trembling violently, and did not rush towards Ning Fa. Upon seeing this, Yan Jingchen's brows furrowed deeply.

At the same time, a graceful figure quietly appeared in the light curtain at the edge of this space.

This is the mysterious woman who appeared when Ning Fa first entered the Hao Lei Tower space.

At this moment, her beautiful face was marred by a furrowed brow as she looked back and forth between Yan Jingchen and Ning Fa, her lovely eyes filled with hesitation.

Finally, she took a deep breath, made up her mind, and formed a peculiar hand seal.

At the same time, the crimson lightning tower in Yan Jingchen's hand shone brightly, enveloping his entire body. After the light disappeared, Yan Jingchen also vanished.

Upon seeing this, the Heavenly Ruins True Monarch, who was bound by crimson lightning chains, was filled with rage and roared repeatedly.

Ning Fa's expression changed as soon as he shattered the black and white lightning dragon in front of him.

Yan Jingchen mysteriously disappeared, and he even took the crimson thunder tower. Doesn't this mean that he is about to gain control of this heaven-reaching spiritual treasure?

Thinking of this, Ning Fa was extremely frustrated, never expecting that all his efforts would be in vain.

Yan Jingchen is indeed terrifying; he was actually able to break through by using the Five Elements Divine Thunder as a stimulus.

Now that they are about to obtain this heaven-reaching spiritual treasure, their strength will be so great that few people can match it.

Even if it were him, he would need to advance to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm and possess at least one high-grade spiritual treasure to be able to defeat this person.

Thinking of this, Ning Fa felt even more helpless.

Although we gained the mysterious ice pearl during our trip to Yaori Peak, it was far inferior to this heaven-reaching spiritual treasure, and it can be said that our efforts were in vain.

However, Ning Fa took a deep breath and decided that it was best to make a clean break as soon as possible.

But just as he was about to use his lightning escape technique, a strange crimson lightning suddenly appeared beneath his feet. Ning Fa's expression changed drastically, and his entire figure disappeared into the crimson lightning.

Tianxu Zhenjun's expression changed again, but his expression immediately became extremely gloomy. At this moment, he secretly held a round bead several inches in size with flowing light in his hand, and a look of hesitation flashed in his eyes.

On the other side, Ningfa suddenly found himself in an unfamiliar place.

He immediately became wary and looked around, but quickly relaxed a little.

This place seemed to be a valley with a radius of more than ten miles. The edges were covered by a thick layer of light. The valley was filled with birdsong and the fragrance of flowers, but it was also filled with an unimaginably rich fire elemental power, which made Ning Fa feel horrified.

The concentration of fire elemental energy here has definitely reached the fifth level!

Ning Fa took a deep breath and carefully examined the surroundings.

The valley was filled with various fire-attribute spiritual herbs and flowers, and a fiery red rabbit could be seen leisurely running around, occasionally nibbling on the surrounding spiritual herbs.

Ningfa stared intently at the fire rabbit, his eyes filled with surprise and uncertainty.

As he fully opened his divine sense, he immediately discovered that the rabbit's body contained extremely surging flames.

Ning Fa's expression changed drastically in an instant. He immediately withdrew his divine sense and closed his eyes.

However, traces of flame still lingered at the corners of his eyes.

It took Ning Fa quite a while to finally open his eyes, which were still burning red. His expression was one of extreme horror.

This rabbit is definitely not an ordinary spirit beast, but rather a manifestation of some extremely powerful spirit flame.

Ning Fa's gaze seemed to startle the rabbit as well. Its ruby-like eyes stared at Ning Fa with a look of human-like fear before it darted into a dense flowerbed and disappeared.

Ningfa frowned deeply; this place was truly bizarre.

Then he suddenly looked up.

A deep, mournful sound came from hundreds of feet in the sky.

Upon closer inspection, Ning Fa's expression changed slightly.

High in the sky, a massive array spanning several miles floated, its runes flashing and spinning rapidly.

Above it, crimson flames, like a waterfall, cascaded down from who-knows-where and were absorbed by the enormous array.

As it rotated, strands of extremely pure spiritual energy drifted out from below the magic array, clearly the reason for the high concentration of spiritual energy in this valley.

After his initial shock, Ningfa seemed to ponder something.

As soon as he entered Yaori Peak, he saw a huge pillar of fire flowing into the top of the Thunder Tower, which was obviously flowing into this place.

Ning Fa originally thought that Daoist Yanyuan wanted to use this opportunity to repair the damage to the Thunder Tower, but now it seems that this is not the case.

Combined with the obvious sense of decay he had felt when he first entered the Thunder Tower, Ningfa couldn't help but have a strange feeling.

These arrangements seem more for the valley itself, or more accurately, for that clearly extraordinary fire rabbit.

Just as Ning Fa was pondering, his expression suddenly changed. He looked sharply to his right and shouted, "Who's there?"

Not far away, a ripple appeared in the air, revealing the illusory figure of a beautiful young woman in a white dress.
