Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 323 Annihilation of Lingxiu Island

"What other tricks do you have up your sleeve? If you've run out of options, I'll send you to your deaths!"

Seeing Zhuang Yangming and his four companions enslaving so many souls, Li Yunjing's face darkened, and he slowly uttered cold words.

"Who the hell are you!"

At this moment, Zhuang Yangming asked through gritted teeth.

"After fighting for so long, you still can't guess that I'm a disciple of the 'Divine Firmament Dao Sect'? It seems that your so-called 'Soul Control Sect' is nothing but a frog in a well!"

Li Yunjing shook his head slightly, his eyes filled with disdain, which deeply stung Zhuang Yangming and the other four!

That was blatant contempt, a deep-seated disdain!
Since joining the "Soul Control Sect", Zhuang Yangming and his group have used the sect's power to flaunt their power and act arrogantly and domineeringly.

To others, all they saw was despair, fear, and surrender...

I never saw that deep disdain in other people's eyes.
Li Yunjing's arrogant attitude fueled the five men's fear and fueled their anger.

"Shenxiao Dao Sect!"

"Just because you're a disciple of the 'Divine Firmament Dao Sect' doesn't mean you're all that great."

"We are just ordinary disciples in the 'Soul Control Sect'. If a true disciple from the sect were to emerge, you might not be able to defeat him!"

"That's right! What kind of skill is it to bully ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators like us!"

"If you have the guts, let us leave. We'll bring back our senior brothers and sisters from the sect, and we'll have another go at you!"

Zhuang Yangming and his four companions were almost at the height of their anger, shouting at Li Yunjing one after another.

However, in the end, these people calmed down and even tried to provoke Li Yunjing, hoping that he would spare their lives.

"Hahaha!"

Li Yunjing threw his head back and laughed, ignoring the anger of the "Soul Control Sect" members.

These ants dare to speak ill of me? Do they think I'm some newbie?
"Alright! Stop dreaming! I can tell you, you're all dead. You've slaughtered so many innocent mortals, even the Heavenly King himself won't let you get away with it!"

If they were righteous cultivators, Li Yunjing might have let them go and allowed them to call in reinforcements for another battle.

In Li Yunjing's eyes, this mere demon is not even as good as a beast!

Li Yunjing would have almost no mercy if he wanted to kill them.

"Senior Brother Zhuang Yangming, since they won't give us a way out, then let's fight to the death! Even if it means dying, we'll tear a piece of flesh off them!"

Beside Zhuang Yangming, a man shouted loudly.

This man had always been hot-tempered, but even he was afraid of Li Yunjing, a ruthless and unparalleled man, and could only swallow his anger!

But now, Li Yunjing has shattered their last shred of hope; this means he's determined to fight them to the death.

People who have lost hope can turn despair into strength and unleash their potential!
Before them, Zhuang Yangming and his four companions were in this state, their eyes bloodshot, ready to fight to the death, as they surrounded them once more.

Li Yunjing glanced at the crowd with disdain and said scornfully, "Show me your strength and let me see what the 'Soul Control Sect' is capable of. If it pleases me, I can make your deaths more comfortable!"

That unwavering demeanor, coupled with his sarcastic tone, was incredibly infuriating.

Even Zhu Wanyun, who was playing the zither in the distance, couldn't help but chuckle.

The five members of the "Soul Control Sect" had unusually grim expressions, each filled with indignation. However, no matter how angry they were, there was nothing they could do, as their strength was inferior to the others, and they could only lament their helplessness!

"Since you won't make a move, then I'll send you on your way!"

Seeing that the five people were dragging their feet and hadn't come forward to attack him, Li Yunjing raised an eyebrow, growing impatient.

With a swift movement, a flash of emerald light appeared in his hand, and the "Azure Sea Listening to the Waves Sword" was unleashed!

A dazzling emerald light formed a fan shape and swept towards the five people.

"careful!"

"Everyone, gather your magic power and defend with all your might!"

Zhuang Yangming and his group of five were shocked. Li Yunjing had not used any magical artifacts when he made his move earlier, but now he had even brought out his weapon. One could imagine how powerful he was.

The five of them were completely terrified!

The demonic energy in the hands of the five people was connected, and the five wisps of black mist condensed together to form a black cloud that blocked their way.

"laugh……"

However, the five people's resistance was completely ineffective.

In just a moment, the protective demonic energy of the five people was completely shattered by the slash of the "Azure Sea Listening to the Waves Sword". Zhuang Yangming and the other four were struck as if by lightning, and they were forced to retreat one after another. Unable to stand in the air, they fell to the ground, spitting out blood from their mouths, as they were injured by the aftershock of Li Yunjing's sword energy.

"too strong!"

In an instant, all five were defeated. Their supernatural powers were shattered by a single sword strike, causing them to vomit blood. The five were both shocked and furious.

Their bodies were already struggling to maintain their balance, and they were falling towards the ground.

"die!"

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Yunjing made another move. With a flick of his finger, the "Azure Sea Listening to the Waves Sword" shot out like a sword released from a bow, its sword energy piercing towards the weakest of the Foundation Establishment Realm Second Heaven Demon Cultivators.

The sword light came too fast; with a "whoosh," the green light pierced through the man's chest, killing him instantly.

With a single sword strike, the "Azure Sea Listening to the Waves Sword," under Li Yunjing's command, circled once more before launching another attack on the remaining enemies!

The sword light was emerald green, like a long river, vast and mighty, and in the blink of an eye, it swallowed up another person.

Li Yunjing also moved, chasing after the cultivator who had fled to the sea. He let out a long roar, caught up with the man, and threw a punch.

"boom!"

With a single punch, Li Yunjing unleashed all his true energy, which collided with the ghost-faced shield in the man's hand, producing a metallic clang.

"That's incredibly powerful!"

With just one strike, the Foundation Establishment Realm Fifth Heaven cultivator from the "Soul Control Sect" paled drastically and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Even with a mid-grade spiritual artifact shield to defend himself, he was still far inferior to Li Yunjing in terms of strength.

"Not bad! You can still block one of my punches!"

Li Yunjing nodded slightly and threw another punch.

This time, Li Yunjing applied a little more force.

His entire body crackled with thunder, and arcs of electricity flickered on his fist. The lightning bolts tore through the air and exploded with a tremendous sound.

The demonic cultivator was so shocked by the thunder that he felt his heart and soul turn cold. He seemed to lose his mind and turned around, fleeing at full speed towards the outside!

When faced with a master of Li Yunjing's caliber, fleeing without a fight became his only thought.

On the other side, Zhuang Yangming and his fellow disciple tried to escape upon seeing this, but the "Azure Sea Listening to the Waves Sword" kept weaving around them, killing the two of them.

This prevented Zhuang Yangming and his companion from escaping while Li Yunjing was being lured away.

"Boom!"

In the blink of an eye, Li Yunjing caught up with the fleeing demonic cultivator and threw a punch straight at the man's back!
"Fight!"

In mid-air, the person twisted their body, shrinking behind the ghost-faced shield. More demonic energy was released as they braced themselves against the shield with both hands, unleashing various demonic supernatural powers. Their entire body was enveloped in demonic energy!

He swore that he had never unleashed such power in his entire life!
However, despite such powerful defense, Li Yunjing's punch struck the ghost-faced shield, and brilliant lightning exploded amidst the demonic energy.

The tremendous sound and the power of the lightning nearly shattered the demon-faced shield completely!
"Third punch! If you can block it, I'll spare your life!"

With another punch, lightning flashed and the force of the punch surged like lightning. Suddenly, lightning exploded everywhere, and all the demonic energy was evaporated. Li Yunjing's fist struck the man's body heavily!

"kill!"

The man's expression changed as a demonic statue appeared behind him. It was unclear which evil god he had been secretly worshipping. This evil god had nine heads, eighteen arms, a pitch-black body, a blue face, fangs, and a hideous appearance.

The golem was clad in armor with sharp spikes, and its eighteen arms held various magical artifacts and evil objects.

The golem did not attack Li Yunjing immediately upon its appearance.

Instead, the head in the center, with eyes as big as copper bells, looked down at the demonic cultivator beneath it. A scarlet tongue shot out, and with a single curl, it pulled the demonic cultivator into the air. With a few crunches, the demonic cultivator's screams ceased, and it merged into the demonic statue.

With the demonic cultivator's energy, the demonic statue became even clearer, as if it were about to come alive.

Almost instantly, it gained the power to destroy heaven and earth.

"Great!"

"Senior Brother Bai Lei sacrificed himself to release the 'Netherworld Ghost,' we are saved!"

Zhuang Yangming and the remaining demonic cultivator were almost overjoyed and wept with excitement.

Although the "Netherworld Demon" is not a powerful demon god of the Netherworld, it is already a remarkable existence in this mortal world. This "Netherworld Demon" devoured Bai Lei and was able to unleash the power of the peak of the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm!

Summoning the "Netherworld Ghost" comes at a great cost, even one's life!
Losing your life is not a big deal, as your soul can be reincarnated. However, if you are eaten by the "Netherworld Ghosts," your soul will be gone.

According to legend, the idea of ​​reincarnation in the six realms has completely lost its hope.

Bai Lei also hated Li Yunjing to the extreme. Even if there was no next life, he would fight Li Yunjing to the death!
This gave Zhuang Yangming and his companion a chance to escape a desperate situation, much to their delight.

With this ghost god from the underworld, we can survive this calamity.

"You mere ghost! How dare you run wild in the mortal realm!"

Faced with this "Netherworld Ghost," Li Yunjing finally took it seriously.

His aura was rising rapidly. Previously, Zhuang Yangming and the others had only sensed Li Yunjing's aura as a fourth-level Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Now, Li Yunjing's aura is growing almost explosively.

The aura of the fifth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm, the sixth level, and all the way up to the seventh level!
This is Li Yunjing's true fighting strength!
Li Yunjing looked up to the sky and roared, his powerful divine sense condensing from between his eyebrows.

That red mark became even more real, like a vertical eye about to open.

The divine thought within it activated the "Heavenly Thunder Emperor Seal," accompanied by dazzling lightning, almost sweeping everything away and instantly killing this "Netherworld Ghost"!
The thunderous power that Li Yunjing had stored up over the years was released almost instantly.

In mid-air, a thousand-foot-wide sea of ​​lightning formed around Li Yunjing.

The "Heavenly Thunder Emperor Seal" struck the "Netherworld Demon" amidst the sea of ​​thunder.

The power of thunder is the most effective counter to this kind of ghost.

Shocked by the surrounding lightning, the "Netherworld Ghost" began to panic as his body crackled and popped.

Its ghostly aura was showing signs of collapse.

"What is this? A sea of ​​lightning?"

Zhuang Yangming was almost dumbfounded, unable to believe that these people dared to fight against the freakish "Shenxiao Dao Sect"!

At this point, even Zhuang Yangming had some doubts: could the top disciples in the sect compete with Li Yunjing?

It should be noted that the cultivation level of the top true disciple of the "Soul Control Sect" has reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Li Yunjing's true cultivation level was only at the fourth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm!

There are five realms of difference between the two!
Before meeting Li Yunjing, Zhuang Yangming would never have believed that someone could cross five realms and defeat a peak Foundation Establishment cultivator.

They'll just think it's bragging!
Now, Zhuang Yangming has witnessed what true power really is!
What is a genius?

What is the most powerful sect that dominates the Southern Continent? The outstanding disciple of the "Divine Firmament Dao Sect"!

"This person's mental strength is incredibly powerful! He even possesses a mental treasure!"

The other person was in no better shape. He stared in shock at the large seal inside the sea of ​​thunder and cried out in a trembling voice.

Just how powerful is this disciple of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect"?

A sword called "Azure Sea Listening to the Waves" blocked the two, preventing them from escaping.

On the other side, Shi Zhan Lei Hai, who unleashed the "Heavenly Thunder Emperor Seal," seemed to have gained the upper hand.

Even at this point, they still can't get away?
At this moment, Li Yunjing was multitasking, his face calm and composed, seemingly in complete control.

He was already quite weary.

The physical fatigue is nothing compared to the mental exhaustion.

Facing this "Netherworld Demon," Li Yunjing unleashed the "Heavenly Thunder Emperor Seal," using his own spiritual sea of ​​consciousness as its source to control the sea of ​​thunder, aiming to kill the "Netherworld Demon" in one fell swoop.

This time must be firmly controlled!
If the high-intensity consumption continues, there will probably be no strength left to sustain it.

At that moment, the "Five Dragon Wheels" flew out into the air and attacked Zhuang Yangming and his companion.

In order to devote more energy to dealing with the "Netherworld Ghosts", Li Yunjing had no choice but to use two treasures to hold off Zhuang Yangming and the other two.

Meanwhile, the "Netherworld Ghost" was severely injured by Li Yunjing's lightning magic within the sea of ​​lightning, making it difficult for it to even maintain its body.

The enormous body had begun to completely collapse; its nine heads and eighteen arms were crumbling, and the magical artifacts and treasures formed from its energy were also dissolving.

"Roar……"

The "Netherworld Ghost" let out a roar from hell. He simply couldn't believe that Li Yunjing, such a tiny ant, had such immense spiritual power that he could unleash such a sea of ​​lightning to bombard him relentlessly!

"Boom!"

Fifteen minutes later, Li Yunjing felt that it was about time; the energy of the sea of ​​lightning had dissipated and could not continue.

With a swift movement, he activated the "Five Elements Great Dao," unleashing a palm strike that transformed into a five-colored cage, which he used to suppress the already crippled "Netherworld Ghost."

Even with the "Great Dao of Thunder" exhausted, Li Yunjing still has the "Great Dao of the Five Elements." The five elements of heaven and earth are endlessly regenerating, and in terms of endurance, it far surpasses the "Great Dao of Thunder"!
The power of the Five Elements pressed down, causing the "Netherworld Demon" to crumble inch by inch until it finally dissipated completely, transforming into a demonic statue that fell downwards.

Li Yunjing casually grabbed the golem and held it in his hand.

After catching his breath, Li Yunjing regained his composure and turned to look at Zhuang Yangming and the other man again.

"It's your turn!"

Li Yunjing moved swiftly and struck one of them with a palm. How could that demonic cultivator be a match for Li Yunjing?
With just three punches, the two exchanged blows in a real, brute-force fight, and the man was finally defeated.

"Boom!"

The energy of the five elements of heaven and earth erupted from Li Yunjing's fist, and the man's body was almost smashed to pieces, falling downwards like a lump of minced meat.

The "Five Dragon Wheels" shook in mid-air, killing the man instantly. All the storage magic treasures on his body were swept up by the "Five Dragon Wheels" and flew towards Li Yunjing.

At this moment, Zhuang Yangming was already in despair. Under Li Yunjing's pressure, he had no choice but to land on the ground, carefully guarding against Li Yunjing's attacks.

"Bang bang bang..."

Li Yunjing unleashed dozens more punches. His explosive power was incredibly sustained, rendering Zhuang Yangming's resistance futile. Zhuang Yangming was sent crashing down like a whack-a-mole.

A deep pit appeared around Li Yunjing, and only Zhuang Yangming's head was visible above the ground.

His body was smashed into the ground.

As for Zhuang Yangming's intention to use the "Earth Escape Technique" to escape?
Li Yunjing had already sealed off the surrounding ground with the "Great Road of Earth".

Unless Zhuang Yangming's understanding of the "Great Way of Earth" is more profound than Li Yunjing's, there is absolutely no way he can escape from here.

Seeing that Zhuang Yangming was still alive, Li Yunjing stopped and walked to his side.

At this moment, Zhuang Yangming was in a miserable state, bleeding from all seven orifices, with cracks all over his body, and almost no bone in his body was intact. A large amount of blood stained his black clothes, which looked like those of a beggar.

It was a complete failure!
His entire force, numbering over 120, including twelve Foundation Establishment cultivators, was slaughtered by Li Yunjing in less than an hour!

Zhuang Yangming gave a bitter laugh, utterly dejected.

"Alright! There's no need for this! No Golden Core cultivator has ever succeeded in killing me, you demonic cultivators are far inferior!"

Li Yunjing said coldly.

He stood with his hands behind his back, his body motionless, naturally exuding an imposing aura as towering as a mountain. His superior posture made Zhu Wanyun, who was in the distance, admire him greatly.

He single-handedly annihilated over a hundred cultivators, including more than a dozen Foundation Establishment cultivators; it was truly a miracle in the cultivation world.

If this matter were to spread, it would immediately cause a sensation, and the entire cultivation world of the Ming Dynasty would be filled with praise for Li Yunjing's reputation.
