The Fate of Eternal Life

Chapter 66: A Sweep Through!

The Jade Pool Peach Banquet is held only once every five hundred years, and each time there is a great battle at the level of a holy lord.

Many important figures fought fiercely on the battlefield, and it's possible that the blood of the ancestors of this lineage might be stained on some cliff.

This time was quite different, with many older figures undergoing tribulations outside, while the younger generation began practicing martial arts.

"The Holy Son of Ten Thousand Beginnings is indeed extraordinary; he has already defeated several experts of his generation." In the Purple Mansion Holy Land, because the current Holy Lord has gone to break through the Dao-Severing Tribulation, the person in charge of affairs here is the Holy Lord's junior brother, a powerful figure.

"The Great Evolution Holy Sword is indeed heaven-defying; it even cut through a cliff!" Ou Yetian, the junior brother of the Holy Lord of the Myriad Beginnings Holy Land, showed an approving expression when he saw Xiang Yifei cut down the cliff with a single sword strike.

"Li Rui of Yaoguang is not bad either. He seems to be no less than many of the Holy Sons." The Holy Lord of Dayan Holy Land said meaningfully, "It's a pity that I didn't get to see the demeanor of the current Holy Son."

In the Heavenly Palace where the Yao Guang Holy Land was stationed, the current generation of Holy Maidens and candidates for Holy Sons had all gone down, but the Yao Guang Holy Son remained still, his gaze fixed on one person in the arena.

On the Five-Colored Divine Mountain, Ning Qingyi seemed to sense something, raised his head to look up at the sky, and faced the Holy Son of Yaoguang from afar.

"You dare to look around while fighting me!" Xia Jiuyou roared in anger.

Previously, Ning Qingyi defeated the top ten disciples of the previous generation of Piaomiao Palace. In an instant, Xia Jiuyou launched a surprise attack. He held a black immortal sword, which was like a white rainbow piercing the sun. His amazing sword energy was aimed straight at Ning Qingyi's brow.

Ning Qingyi simply extended a finger and deflected the immortal sword as if strolling in a garden or taking something out of a bag.

"Oh, you're very strong?" Ning Qingyi's attitude was nonchalant, her tone as calm as if she were watching a child argue about the sun.

"Good! Very good!" Xia Jiuyou began to unleash his strongest techniques. His hair danced in the air, ethereal and otherworldly: "I am destined to be the number one in the world. Those whose cultivation surpasses mine are destined to be defeated by me!"

He stepped back, as if standing in another starry sky, and melodious celestial music began to play.

The ethereal celestial music, flowing gently and melodiously, seemed to originate from ancient times, resonating with the Great Dao, and filled with an inexplicable divine charm.

"This is...Nine Nether Immortal Song!"

Both inside and outside the arena, people recognized this terrifying technique, simply because the previous user was renowned throughout the world. It was none other than Gai Jiuyou, who, eight thousand years ago, was invincible and almost became an emperor.

"So that's how it is. You have this kind of constitution." Ning Qingyi said seriously, "Let me see how much of Senior Gai Jiuyou's skill you have."

"Still being stubborn even when death is imminent." Xia Jiuyou remained calm, but the Nine Nether Immortal Melody was brimming with killing intent!
The Daoist music flowed, and a murderous intent of heaven and earth surged within the melody, like the battle of a million-strong army, piercing through gold and splitting rocks, stirring up the high heavens, or like a tsunami that stretched to the sky, with countless stars falling together.

Ning Qingyi stood still in the void, unmoved, letting the celestial music wear away her form.

"Let's see how long you can keep up this act!" Xia Jiuyou sneered. At this moment, he seemed to be standing on the other side of the starry sky, yet he gave people a very ethereal feeling.

"clank……"

The celestial music astounded the world, and the killing was like a tidal wave, as if a thousand troops were galloping, eclipsing the stars and moon and causing the sky to shatter.

It can be said that it possesses the profound mysteries of creation, capable of obliterating all laws in the world!

But when it came to Ning Qingyi, it was like a clay ox sinking into the sea, leaving no ripples.

"Not bad, it has a hint of calamity, it's worth listening to," Ning Qingyi commented.

Xia Jiuyou laughed in fury: "Stop pretending to be so important, just die!"

"Zheng..."

Celestial music played, causing the world to lose its color. It transformed into tangible waves, like runes of the Great Dao, which pressed down.

Dragons and snakes rise together, phoenixes and unicorns vie for supremacy! Tangible sound waves transform into patterns of the Great Dao, and then into a winding river, possessing incredible power to sweep away everything and stir up the heavens.

Ning Qingyi finally moved, five-colored energy rising from his body. He ignored the celestial music that had taken form and allowed it to envelop him, and simply walked forward step by step.

His voice was calm yet ruthless: "Little brat, if I hadn't wanted to see what you were capable of, do you think I would have tolerated you until now?"

"This! Impossible!" Xia Jiuyou could no longer maintain his domineering demeanor.

In sight, the fairy melody was as light as a feather, impervious to the elegant jade radiance on the golden body, and could not even harm the flesh.

This scene left everyone speechless.

"The Nine Netherworld Immortal Melody cannot even penetrate the Little Celestial Venerable's physical body!"

"What kind of physique does he have?! It's terrifying! It feels like it's no less powerful than the legendary Ancient Sacred Body!"

On the high platform, the Holy Son of Yao Guang, who was staring intently at the scene, whispered, "This is definitely not a matter of physique; he has mastered a terrifying physical cultivation method."

Five-colored divine light flowed within Ning Qingyi's chest, and the smoke rose to a height of several tens of feet, condensing into a large, five-colored handprint that obscured the clouds and sun, stirring up the wind and smoke.

With a flick of his five fingers, he blasted through the sky, unleashing an invincible force as he slammed his fist down on Xia Jiuyou!
"Boom!"

Amidst the whistling of the billowing air, the Five Elements Hand moved with unimaginable speed, unleashing a ferocious attack!
From the sidelines, the Peacock King, witnessing this scene, exclaimed in admiration: "What a brilliant display of five-colored divine light!"

Xia Jiuyou's expression changed; even though she was in another world, she felt a strong threat.

The Five Elements Great Handprint broke through the shackles of the strange phenomenon, relentlessly approaching Xia Jiuyou and breaking into his pure land.

Xia Jiuyou whispered, "I don't believe you can break through the Nine Nether Immortal Melody."

But in the next instant, the Five Elements Great Handprint imprisoned the entire void where the strange phenomenon was located, and the smoke filled the void, completely enveloping it, and forcibly separated this small world for a short time!

Five-colored divine light, it can brush away anything!
Xia Jiuyou felt as if the entire world was being compressed, and he felt as if he was about to be squeezed to death by this giant hand that stood up to the sky!
"You forced me to this! I will suppress you for eternity!"

At this moment, he imprinted himself in the void, seven-colored divine light emanating from between his brows, and ten thousand auspicious rays descended, like an ancient god reborn, causing everyone's hearts to tremble.

"Heavens! The Eye of the Gods! He definitely inherited Gai Jiuyou's legacy; it's a supreme divine technique from the same lineage!"

"Another quasi-emperor's personal disciple!"

Everyone was shocked! They never expected that there would be two young prodigies of such great renown in this generation.

A dazzling seven-colored light shone between Xia Jiuyou's eyebrows, and the divine eye that could see through everything in the world opened!
It was a bright and beautiful eye, yet it emitted a terrifying aura, shooting out like a rainbow. It pierced directly through the Five Elements Great Handprint and shot straight towards Dou Niu!

This terrifying divine technique can almost draw upon the power of gods; even cultivators from the Dragon Transformation Realm would be overwhelmed by it!

But Ning Qingyi simply extended one finger again, blocking the rainbow light from the Eye of God.

As the fingers touched the rainbow light, they made a constant "sizzling" sound, like a branding iron on flesh, before gradually fading away and being completely worn away.

"Is the Little Celestial Venerable about to become invincible?!" Everyone was shocked.

"Boom!" At the same time, Ning Qingyi fiercely activated his divine power, and the Five Elements Great Handprint shattered the void. The five-colored divine light that the Dao Sound had extinguished was no match for the mutual generation of the five elements.

"My God, the Pure Land has been breached!"

All the cultivators were stunned. Although they had long known that Ning Qingyi was invincible in the Four Extremes Realm and would be even more terrifying after breaking through to the Dragon Transformation Realm, Xia Jiuyou's defeat was too miserable!

"You can talk about defying me and breaking through the divine barrier later," Ning Qingyi said lightly.

Xia Jiuyou could no longer hold on and was blasted out of the void, blood spilling from his mouth. At this moment, he was completely calm, realizing that Ning Qingyi was stronger than him.

"In that case, let me see if you can withstand this move!"

Outside the arena, the two old servants accompanying Xia Jiuyou changed their expressions drastically upon hearing these words.

The Nine Netherworld Melody resounds once more, the Great Dao's Heavenly Sound shakes the mortal world, threatening to annihilate human souls. It can obliterate all laws in the world, cleanse the Great Dao, and cleave down the heavens!

"This is the Celestial Melody of Tribulation Transcending! The divine melody has continued!"

"A peerless skill that was invincible eight thousand years ago, will it recreate its unparalleled glory in this life!"

Many young people watching the battle trembled, feeling their Dao hearts shattering in the face of these two.

The first strike of the Immortal Song of Tribulation tore apart the Five Elements Great Handprint. The entire world was filled with immortal music and divine light, as bright as day. The supreme and wonderful sound seemed to flow from the ancient times.

Many people who were nearby were affected and were even sent off the field.

“Indeed, this is a celestial melody, one that I can truly appreciate.” Ning Qingyi said calmly.

"Qiang!"

The Celestial Melody of Tribulation Resounds Again, and the Battle Arena of Life and Death seems to be on the verge of collapse. Stars shift, dragons and snakes rise from the land, heaven and earth turn upside down, and the sun and moon fall together!
Ning Qingyi took the initiative to attack. As soon as he unleashed the Nanwu Fist, a light descended from the chaos, sweeping away all the tribulations in front of his fist, and even the heavens and earth turned into emptiness.

Xia Jiuyou looked unwilling, but he had no energy left to speak. He mustered all his strength and launched his third attack!
The trails stretched out in undulating waves, extending into the distance.

Humans are crossing the river, dust is crossing the river, immortals are crossing the river, all things in heaven and earth, every blade of grass and every tree, are all striving to cross the river... All aspects of life, all kinds of mortal world, all living beings are considered to be striving to cross the river and pass through tribulations in this world!
Under pressure from Ning Qingyi, Xia Jiuyou finally managed to express some of the sentiments of worldly struggles, and possessed some of the spirit of Gai Jiuyou from eight thousand years ago.

"it is good!"

Even though Ning Qingyi had never taken Xia Jiuyou seriously, he couldn't help but applaud and praise this celestial music.

"Let me show you my Primordial Light of Determination."

Ning Qing let out a long roar, and the divine light that had evolved during the creation of the world burst forth from his body.

In an instant, everyone who saw the divine light seemed to be in a world of darkness and light, a vast emptiness, desolate and barren, with nothing around them!
Only a single divine light separated heaven and earth, freezing everything in place, even causing the Great Dao to cease its operation.

Everything that "exists" is frozen within this divine light.

The Immortal Song of Tribulation, along with Xia Jiuyou who performed the technique and a small void, were extracted and solidified into amber of heaven and earth.

"Crack!"

An ominous sound came, and the place where Xia Jiuyou was located turned into fragments, and all "existence" turned into nothingness, about to return to the void of heaven and earth.

On the high platform, the Queen Mother of the West, through her connection with the Daoist altar, finally managed to send Xia Jiuyou away in time. She breathed a sigh of relief, because the two old servants revealed Xia Jiuyou's background; his master was someone even her own ancestor treated with great respect.

"boom!"

The terrifying void storm tore through the platform, evolving into chaotic divine winds that ravaged the battlefield. Many people's expressions changed and they fled in an instant, while many others were unable to dodge in time and were seriously injured and sent away.

A rough estimate suggests that at least seven or eight promising young people were lost in the aftermath.

Both inside and outside the arena, silence fell.

Many of the younger generation were pale-faced. This battle chilled them to the bone. Anyone could see Xia Jiuyou's strength, which was absolutely comparable to that of a young emperor. Moreover, he was only about thirteen years old, far from being an adult. Before his blood and qi reached their peak, he still possessed endless potential!
He is truly a rare talent, a prodigy of our time!
Despite Xia Jiuyou's strength, he was easily crushed like a piece of tofu when facing Little Celestial Venerable Ning Qingyi... Even with the boost from his higher cultivation level, it was still too easy!

“There are no wrong titles, only wrong names. Is he really the reincarnation of the Celestial Venerable?” Someone said this in a dry, unwilling voice.

"Little Celestial Venerable is invincible." Some people realized this, and their invincible mentality shattered.

Amidst the numerous palaces, the prominent figures from holy lands and aristocratic families remained silent. Some of them had also been chosen as holy sons or outstanding individuals among their peers in their youth, but the subconscious comparisons in their hearts yielded not a single thought of their own success.

Ning Qingyi's divine sense swept across the life-and-death battle arena.

Because of the Queen Mother of the West's deliberate control, the battle platform was neither too big nor too small, leaving no room to hide; everyone was engaged in fierce combat. After a series of battles, half of the participants had been eliminated. Although the fighting was intense, more than two hundred young masters remained.

"Too slow! How long is this going to take?!" Ning Qing raised an eyebrow and roared to the heavens, "Let me help you!"

In an instant, a five-colored halo of blue, yellow, red, black, and white slowly rotated behind him, emitting a series of resounding sounds that made him appear like a primordial deity, majestic, ancient, and sacred.

Everyone was terrified. The halo left their bodies and stood horizontally in the center of the sky. Then it turned around and, like a raging river, stirred up all the myriad paths into chaos!

"boom!"

Suddenly, Ning Qing unleashed beams of five-colored divine light, their dazzling brilliance filling the heavens and earth, simultaneously striking all the surviving young masters in the arena.

Everyone's expression changed drastically, except for the truly powerful young man, who revealed his fighting spirit.

For example, Ye Fan, with the Chaos Seed Green Lotus phenomenon surrounding him, his holy body's blood and qi surged like a vast ocean, directly to the top of his head, and he actually unleashed an invincible holy technique, causing the world to lose its color!
Ji Haoyue of the Ji family was not afraid at all. A bright moon appeared in the sea of ​​strange phenomena and spun around, crashing straight into it!

Hua Yunfei of the Tai Xuan Sect unleashed a secret technique, causing a star to burst forth from between his brows, radiating endless immortal light to protect himself.

……

Many young masters either used secret techniques to fight back, or used supernatural powers to protect themselves, and some even managed to defeat their opponents while dodging.

The terrifying five-colored divine light struck the spot where everyone stood, completely obliterating everything, from grass and trees to mud and rocks.

Under Ning Qingyi's relentless barrage, the young masters in the arena were leaving at an extremely fast pace.

One, two, three... the number of people decreased rapidly, and soon only sixty-four remained.

A divine light flashed in the eyes of the Queen Mother of the West in Yaochi. Just as she was about to use her great magic to stabilize the battle platform, she saw that Ning Qingyi stopped surging with divine power and the halo slowly dissipated.

"Very good, the first battle is over, the second battle will begin tomorrow!"
