Yuantian Pidao

Chapter 505 Slaying the Demon King
Lightning flashed across the sky, illuminating the heavens and the earth.

Amidst the thunderstorm, purple lightning roamed freely, everything proceeding as usual. Only Jiang Chen's divine soul power had been completely withdrawn at some point, merging with the purple lightning, becoming inseparable from it, like a highly spiritual flying sword, constantly absorbing the power of heaven and earth's thunder to temper itself with every breath.

The Great Evolution True Gold is inherently spiritual, and the treasures refined from it are extremely easy to resonate with cultivators, helping them achieve a pseudo-unity of man and weapon. The Purple Lightning Sword, forged based on the Great Evolution True Gold, naturally possesses this characteristic as well, not to mention that Jiang Chen had already comprehended the realm of man and sword as one.

The combination of these two factors allowed Jiang Chen to achieve an extremely high level of control over the Purple Lightning Sword.

"Someone is really watching me."

Within the Purple Lightning Sword, its own aura was not apparent, but through the sword, Jiang Chen sensed an increasingly obvious malice.

He had been drawing upon the lightning of heaven and earth to temper himself, hoping to further refine his secret technique. But at that moment, the Purple Lightning Sword suddenly issued a warning. It was extraordinary by nature and could sense malice. This perception was often more useful than divine sense.

After realizing this, Jiang Chen further concealed his aura, making it difficult for outsiders to detect any trace of it.

"The newcomer is a Purple Mansion Demon King, at the early stage of cultivation. His aura is unstable, like a leaky primordial embryo, strong on the outside but weak on the inside. He must be suffering from severe injuries, to the point that he can no longer suppress them."

Using the Purple Lightning Sword as his eye, Jiang Chen identified the source of the malice and caught a clue. Because of his serious injuries, the Gale Demon King's aura was not smooth enough, and once it manifested, it immediately left a trace.

Of course, the reason why the Demon King of Gale didn't deliberately conceal it is also because even a rare treasure, no matter how spiritual it is, is ultimately not a sentient being.

"My spirit is traveling and I have no physical body, so I cannot use some of my skills. But with the Purple Lightning Sword, it is not impossible for me to deal with a seriously injured Purple Mansion."

"In fact, by now, my spiritual power is much stronger than before. In terms of quality, even ordinary mid-stage Purple Mansion cultivators cannot compare to me, not to mention in terms of quantity. The reason why I cannot defeat Purple Mansion cultivators with just my spiritual power is because I have not mastered the true meaning. This power is mysterious and profound, and it is the most important foundation of Purple Mansion."

"However, the appearance of the Purple Lightning Sword made up for this deficiency of mine. Although I do not have true intent myself, I can borrow it from heaven and earth."

With a quick thought, Jiang Chen basically confirmed the enemy's condition, and the idea of ​​fleeing completely disappeared from his mind.

Malicious perception is a characteristic of the Spirit Sword at the beginning of the sword embryo's birth. However, after fusing with the Thunder Seal fragments, the ability to summon the thunder of heaven and earth is the most fundamental ability of the Purple Lightning Sword. It summons not only the visible thunder of heaven and earth, but also the profound and mysterious true meaning of thunder.

The so-called true meaning is the lingering charm of the Great Dao, and the place where the Great Dao takes root is heaven and earth. In this world, the richest true meaning is naturally found in heaven and earth. However, now that the Great Dao is hidden and the true meaning is not revealed, cultivators often have to rely on local treasures to control the true meaning.

Although the true meaning of heaven and earth is there, there is an insurmountable chasm between them. Under normal circumstances, cultivators cannot even touch it, let alone comprehend it, let alone directly control it. However, the appearance of the Purple Lightning Sword has built a bridge to the heavens for Jiang Chen.

"If I'm not mistaken, this Purple Mansion Demon King should have fragments of the Thunder Seal on him."

As the man and sword became one, and the malice drew ever closer, Jiang Chen confirmed his guess.

After realizing that someone was spying on him with malicious intent, he actually considered escaping. He merged with his sword and rode the lightning to escape, making it difficult even for a Purple Mansion cultivator to catch up with him. However, through the purple lightning, he sensed the desire of the purple lightning's spirit while perceiving the malice. The spy had something that the purple lightning wanted.

It was precisely because of this discovery that Jiang Chen changed his mind.

Whoosh, the thunder was still booming, the breeze was still approaching, and time was slowly passing. Although he had already decided to make his move, Jiang Chen did not rush to reveal his intentions. Instead, he lay low and silently accumulated his strength.

Zi Fu is difficult to kill, even a severely injured Zi Fu. If he were to make a move, it would be with overwhelming force. At the same time, on the other side, watching the approaching area of ​​the thunderstorm and feeling the overwhelming power of the thunder, the Gale Demon King couldn't help but feel a little frightened.

"The thunder is fierce and powerful. This thunderstorm gathers the power of heaven and earth. In terms of power, it even surpasses ordinary Purple Mansion techniques. Fortunately, its power is scattered and uncontrolled. Otherwise, in my current state, I really wouldn't dare to approach rashly."

Sensing the power of the thunder, the Gale Demon King couldn't help but shake his head. Although cultivators of the Purple Mansion realm possessed powerful supernatural abilities, the power of heaven and earth was not to be underestimated.

However, after a brief moment of shock, the Gale Demon King became happy again, because the stronger the power of the thunder, the more it demonstrated the wonder of the treasure. As a Purple Mansion, he could naturally see that although the thunderstorm in front of him was a natural evolution of heaven and earth, its true formation was largely due to the guidance of that treasure. Without that treasure, the thunderstorm would never have had its current momentum.

"To wield wind and thunder, today is the day!"

With a sudden thought, he no longer concealed himself, revealing his true form, which was ten feet long. He swept towards the thunderstorm area with a demonic wind, intending to tear through the thunderstorm and seize the treasure.

At that very moment, Jiang Chen, who had been preparing silently, made his move.

"With purple lightning as the trigger, heavenly thunder is summoned."

With divine control over the sword, Jiang Chen unleashed the full power of his divine soul, pushing the power of the Purple Lightning Sword to its limit.

In that instant, a sharp sword cry resounded throughout the heavens and earth, and violent sword energy soared straight into the sky, shattering the clouds and creating what appeared to be a hole in the world.

With a thunderous roar, drawn by the heavens and earth, a unique purple lightning bolt descended from the sky and struck the Purple Lightning Sword. At that moment, the Purple Lightning Sword shone with unprecedented brilliance, as if it had gained true sharpness, and the entire world was instantly stained with purple light.

Faced with this sudden and shocking change, the Gale Demon King's mind was jolted. In that instant, he felt as if the area of ​​thunderstorm had come alive and become a complete whole.

"Oh no, this is a trap."

Realizing something was wrong, the Gale Demon King tried to retreat, but it was too late. A pure white celestial light suddenly descended, suppressing his soul and slowing his reaction for a moment. This was none other than the Soul-Suppressing Celestial Light.

"cut!"

With a plan in mind, Jiang Chen, seeing the Gale Demon King temporarily immobilized by the Soul-Suppressing Immortal Light, did not hesitate and directly unleashed his long-accumulated sword strike.

With a thunderous roar, purple lightning flashed and countless bolts of lightning chased after it. As Jiang Chen unleashed his sword strike, the power of the entire thunderstorm area was stirred up. In an instant, the sound shook the four directions, and the heavens and earth roared. Only thunder could be heard in the world, and no other sound could be heard. It was as if the heavens were angry.

"No, block them."

Struggling desperately, barely managing to break free from the suppression of the Soul-Suppressing Immortal Light, the Gale Demon King unleashed his divine powers in an attempt to protect himself.

However, in the next instant, a myriad of thunderbolts descended accompanied by dazzling sword light, engulfing everything. All sorts of supernatural powers and methods were easily torn apart like paper in the face of this almost divine power.
