Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 368 The Supreme Thunder Technique of the Divine Firmament Dao Sect
Such a terrifying force exploded high in the sky.

In an instant, the two sides below were stunned and stared blankly at the sky, marveling at the terrifying power of the battle between Nascent Soul Realm cultivators!
Li Yunjing's face was also deathly pale. Such power could destroy a small town with a single blow!

With such repeated attacks from powerful figures, even a city with a million inhabitants would soon be reduced to wasteland, and all living beings would turn to ashes in the aftershocks of the battle.

"No wonder Nascent Soul cultivators usually stay away from ordinary cultivators when they fight! If they clashed on the battlefield, all of them would be wiped out by the aftershocks."

Li Yunjing couldn't help but mutter to himself.

He assessed his own strength and concluded that demolishing a small town would not be a problem.

Demolishing a city with a population of one million and destroying everything would probably take more than ten days or half a month to accomplish.

After all, destroying a house is easy, but it's difficult to crush almost all the buildings into pieces like a big shot.

At this moment, high in the sky, all five battle groups erupted.

"Fazheng, you bald thief! I've had my eye on you for a long time, let's see how long you can keep this up!"

With a loud shout, the Five Elements Master moved and stood atop the "Five-Colored Giant Pagoda," once again clashing with the wooden fish and mallet of Zen Master Fazheng.

"Amitabha! Fellow Daoist Five Elements, if you wish to witness the power of this humble monk, then so be it."

Across from him, Zen Master Fazheng shouted, and behind him, a small golden mountain rose and fell, emitting thousands of golden rays. This was Zen Master Fazheng's natal magic weapon!

This is a replica of the legendary "Mount Sumeru" of the Buddha. Many Buddhist disciples are willing to make such Buddhist artifacts, which represents that they are the successors of the Buddha.

This "Mount Sumeru" was activated by Zen Master Fazheng, and it continuously bombarded the "Five-Colored Giant Pagoda".

The "Mount Sumeru" was, after all, a solid treasure, formed from many rare metals. Under the continuous impact, the Five Elements True Man's "Five-Colored Giant Pagoda" began to shake, and the five-colored luster on it dimmed.

"Crack!"

After such a head-on clash, the Five Elements True Man's "Five-Colored Giant Pagoda" finally gave way. The pagoda spun around, shrinking to the size of a palm, and flew back into his hand.

"Hahaha! This is your reliance? In terms of magical treasures, Fellow Daoist Five Elements, you're probably no match for him, aren't you?"

Having repelled the Five Elements Immortal's magic weapon, Zen Master Fazheng laughed heartily, finally feeling triumphant.

In the last great battle, Zen Master Fazheng suffered a complete defeat. Now he wants to get revenge and utterly defeat the Five Elements True Man.

"Hahaha! You bald thief Fazheng, do you think I, Wuxingzi, am invincible because of magic weapons? Today, I will show you why the top-grade Five Elements Spiritual Root is a famous spiritual root in the world!"

Despite the failure of the "Five-Colored Giant Pagoda," the Five Elements True Man still laughed loudly and was extremely powerful. His whole body was enveloped in five-colored divine light, and he transformed into a ball of light, directly rushing up "Mount Sumeru" to engage in a final battle with Zen Master Fazheng!
On the other side, eight top masters were locked in a fierce and evenly matched battle in the clouds.

The sun and moon lose their light, and the world loses its color.

The ten masters possessed immense magical power. On their battlefield, apart from top-tier Golden Core cultivators who could participate to some extent, anyone else who got close would be reduced to ashes.

Li Yunjing, Liao Wanqing, and Wen Bin were mesmerized. The air was turbulent as those fourth-tier magic treasures crisscrossed, leaving these geniuses in awe. This was a truly grand spectacle.

"Boom!"

At this moment, those below also came to their senses, and the two fleets began to exchange fire on the ocean.

The waves surged, the cultivators roared, and countless spells and magical treasures thundered down upon the enemy.

All the creatures in the sea sensed the terrifying fluctuations of energy; even the demonic beasts scattered and fled into the distance.

Some of the powerful demons in the deep sea were frightened and dared not come out, obediently hiding in the mud or reefs on the seabed.

The great war between humans was terrifying.

Giant waves surged, and a murderous aura soared to the sky. Some warships had already taken to the air and were exchanging fire with the enemy in mid-air.

On the "Azure Cloud Boat," Li Yunjing instructed Wen Bin, Liao Wanqing, and the three Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Ye family to operate the ship's fire control system and launch an attack.

In mid-air, hundreds of cultivators from the "Ascetic Sect" rushed in, including several Golden Core Realm experts in the center. Their fighting spirit was overwhelming, like a surging tide, and the blood energy filled the sky, making the air turn red.

"What bad luck! To be targeted by so many old geezers at the Golden Core stage all at once!"

Seeing so many people suddenly appear, Li Yunjing's face turned ugly, and he couldn't help but curse.

Under his control, the "Azure Cloud Boat" began to move closer to the "Divine Firmament Warship".

That was a top-tier Tier 3 warship, terrifyingly powerful. An ordinary Golden Core cultivator would be blasted into pieces with a single shot if he got close.

"Kill!"

Soon, the battlefield situation evolved from fleet bombardment into a series of battle groups.

Some were fighting in mid-air, some on the sea, and some water-based cultivators even lurked in the sea to fight each other.

The shouts of battle resounded throughout the heavens and earth, even drowning out the sounds of the spells being unleashed.

By now, many people have died on various battlefields, and warships are constantly being destroyed, exploding and falling into the sea in fragments.

The ten elders of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" each piloted their own "Azure Cloud Boats," engaging in continuous battles in the air, on the sea, and in the ocean.

One of the "Azure Cloud Boats" was piloted by Yu Yuanhua, an elder who had already approached Li Yunjing's "Azure Cloud Boat" to provide him with support.

With the support of a Golden Core Realm expert, Li Yunjing relaxed considerably.

The two "Azure Cloud Boats" bombarded the pursuing cultivators side by side. The cultivators from the "Ascetic Sect" were hit by the "Heavenly Thunder Cannons," exploding continuously. Their bodies were pulverized and turned into minced flesh, falling into the sea.

Meanwhile, the two "Azure Cloud Boats" continued to retreat, widening the distance between them.

The "Ascetic Sect" group includes several Golden Core cultivators; if they are surrounded, the trouble will be immense.

Li Yunjing was extremely cautious and would never give the other side a chance to surround him.

Seeing Li Yunjing's vigilance, Yu Yuanhua, who had come to provide support, felt much more at ease. As an outstanding talent of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect," he had been included in the elders' list of priorities.

As soon as they saw that Li Yunjing was in trouble, people immediately came to his aid.

"Boom!"

The battlefield continued to expand, covering an area of ​​three hundred miles.

The battle between the two sides has reached a fever pitch, and the scene below has also been observed by the ten Nascent Soul Realm experts high in the sky.

In terms of the situation, the "East China Sea Alliance" still holds some advantages.

The current situation has greatly displeased the five top experts from the Mingxin Temple.

While the five were fighting their opponents, they secretly communicated with each other. Master Fazheng had already made up his mind. He planned to find an opportunity to free up a Nascent Soul Realm expert and have this expert rush down to the bottom at all costs to wipe out a group of Golden Core Realm experts from the "East Sea Alliance" and change the current unfavorable battle situation.

"Kill! 'Great Compassionate Thousand-Leaf Hand'!"

Suddenly, Master Fazheng's eyes became incredibly sharp, his killing intent shaking the surroundings. He transformed into a golden body with three heads and eighteen hands, wielding various Buddhist ritual implements.

This is actually the "Bodhi Golden Body" of Buddhism!
At this moment, Zen Master Fazheng radiated a pure and flawless golden light, his golden skin as transparent as glass, with a faint flow of Buddhist light.

"What a bald thief! You've actually mastered the Four Noble Truths, the Eightfold Path, and the Twelve Links of Dependent Origination—the true Buddhist principles! It seems I can't let you live!"

Upon seeing the halo of Bodhi above Zen Master Fazheng's head, the Five Elements True Man's expression changed for the first time.

He's ready to risk his life!

After a brief exchange, the Five Elements True Man had already discerned this person's cultivation level as a seventh-level Nascent Soul cultivator!
Such cultivation is comparable to that of a True Person of the Five Elements!
Seeing that the other party's Buddhist teachings were profound, he must be a thorn in the side of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect". No matter what the cost, we must kill Zen Master Fazheng!
The death of Zen Master Fazheng makes even losing the East China Sea worthwhile!

After all, in Mingxin Temple, no matter how many Nascent Soul Realm bald monks there are, there are not many bald monks at the seventh level of Nascent Soul Realm!
"Hahaha! Fellow Daoist Five Elements, I possess the Bodhi Golden Body. How could you possibly break through my defenses? Impressive, we are evenly matched!"

Master Fazheng laughed at the words of the Five Elements Immortal, seemingly not believing that the Five Elements Immortal had the ability to kill him.

It's important to know that mastering either of the two great golden bodies of Buddhism makes one virtually invincible. Unfortunately, he has only just succeeded in cultivating them, possessing only a rudimentary understanding of the Bodhi Golden Body. Legend has it that if the Buddha possesses the Bodhi Golden Body, the world will perish while the Buddha remains.

The Buddhas can sit back and watch the world change and the universe rise and fall.

However, even if he couldn't reach that level of cultivation, and only had a little bit of the basics, Zen Master Fazheng was very confident that a mere Nascent Soul cultivator could not possibly defeat him.

"Alright! I'll show you my profound secret techniques!"

Hearing the arrogant words of Zen Master Fazheng, the Five Elements True Man made up his mind, and five-colored light instantly surged around his body, containing the power of the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire and earth.

The power of the five elements intertwined and flowed... and finally soared into the higher sky.

The Five Elements Master quickly formed hand seals and chanted incantations. In the higher sky, within the layer of gale-force winds, a large expanse of five-colored clouds actually condensed.

"Not good! The people of the Shenxiao Dao Sect are skilled at harnessing the power of heaven and earth. Seeing that they can't do anything to me, Wu Xingzi is trying to summon the power of heaven and earth to deal with me?"

The strange changes in the world were clearly seen by Zen Master Fazheng. His expression was solemn, and he closed his eyes slightly while rapidly chanting the sutra in the middle of the three poems.

As he chanted, the Buddhist ritual implements in his eighteen hands shone even brighter, and the runes on the implements flickered and danced.

One of them held a vajra, which was suddenly thrown forward. The vajra instantly grew larger in the air, like a pillar supporting the sky, and shot straight into the sky, trying to shatter the five-colored clouds.

With a deafening roar, a bolt of "Gengjin Divine Thunder" suddenly erupted from the five-colored clouds and collided with the "Vajra Pestle." The powerful impact caused the surrounding air to vibrate.

"You bald thief! I, in the supreme 'Divine Firmament Dao Sect,' invoke the 'Supreme Divine Firmament Jade Pivot Five Thunder Slaying and Detection Great Method,' and humbly summon the Great Mighty God of Thunder Palace, the Four Heavenly Lords Deng, Xin, Zhang, and Tao, to swiftly descend with thunder and lightning to subdue the evil spirit!"

"You, a mere mortal, possess immense magical power, daring to contend with the gods and immortals of the heavens?"

The Five Elements Master snorted coldly, his face showing disdain, and his hands changed hand seals again.

In an instant, the sky changed color, and auspicious multicolored clouds rolled in and quickly gathered above the head of Zen Master Fazheng.

Immediately afterwards, a thick bolt of lightning, carrying raging flames, roared down from the dark clouds, its target being Zen Master Fazheng.

This is precisely the "Bing Fire Divine Thunder"!
The saying "The Divine Firmament Daoist Sect has people in heaven" is not just a joke!

At critical moments, by practicing the scriptures, one can truly sense the imprints left by past patriarchs between heaven and earth, thereby drawing upon the power of heaven and earth to form thunder magic and manifest it!

"Damn it! The 'Divine Firmament Dao Sect' is always relying on its superiors; this time we're in danger!"

Originally intending to defeat the Five Elements True Man, Master Fazheng was surprised to find that he had instead unleashed the opponent's strongest supernatural power. He suddenly opened his eyes wide and a resolute look flashed across his face.

He clasped his hands together, and a golden shield of Buddhist light instantly appeared around his golden body, protecting him tightly.

Lightning and fire struck the shield, emitting blinding light and deafening sounds. The shield trembled slightly under the powerful attack, but it never shattered.

"Hmph, with these, you can't kill me!"

When Zen Master Fazheng spoke, his voice was low and deep, as if he had something to rely on.

In reality, only Zen Master Fazheng knew that the wooden fish, wooden mallet, Mount Sumeru, and many other treasures that were moving forward had long been concentrated in the eighteen hands, and all of them were exerting their full power!
At this moment, Zen Master Fazheng was practically risking his life!
Conversely, the Five Elements True Man was unharmed, suffering little damage except for the enormous consumption of his spiritual energy.

He borrowed the power of heaven and earth thunder without expending any of his own energy, so it's hard to say who will gain the upper hand.

"Heh heh! You think I went to such great lengths just to summon a few bolts of lightning? You're in for a world of hurt!"

The Five Elements Master's face was gloomy as he spoke coldly.

Now that we have recognized Master Fazheng's talent, if we cannot eliminate him, he will surely bring endless trouble to ourselves and the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" in the future.

This man must die!

"Heavenly Gang, Heavenly Gang, Nine Qi resounding... Thunder and fire, dispel misfortune!"

"Five thunderbolts and three thousand generals, eighty thousand thunder soldiers... So be it!"

"The Jade Pool shines brightly in the east, the Alliance Envoy is named Qing Tong... So be it!"

"Nine Heavens Responding to the Origin Palace, Supreme Jade Pure King... Thunderous Universal Transformation Heavenly Venerable!"

……

The Five Elements Immortal chanted incessantly, and above the auspicious clouds, five-colored light surged, with the five elemental powers within becoming even more violent, seemingly about to tear the entire world apart.

At this moment, the ten Golden Core Realm elders below also gathered together, chanting incantations to empower the power of heaven and earth.

Li Yunjing was dumbfounded when he saw this scene; he had never learned a single spell!

Is this still a true disciple?
Is this the true essence of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect"?
The "Bing Fire Divine Thunder," "Yi Wood Divine Thunder," "Gui Water Divine Thunder," "Geng Metal Divine Thunder," and "Xu Earth Divine Thunder" in the sky almost never stopped, bombarding the area without pause.

The golden body of Zen Master Fazheng had long since lost its luster.

If it weren't for the numerous Buddhist artifacts protecting him, he wouldn't have been able to withstand such an attack.

While Li Yunjing was still in shock, he suddenly heard a familiar incantation!
Those are incantations from the third volume of "The Five Thunder Orthodox Method"!
It turns out I wasn't completely ignorant of any of the direct lineage scriptures!
Only then did Li Yunjing breathe a sigh of relief.

Meanwhile, Liao Wanqing, Wen Bin, and the three Ye family members around them looked up at the sky with awe, and occasionally glanced at Li Yunjing.

Who can rival the Shenxiao Dao Sect's ability to harness the power of heaven and earth?

Human strength is limited; how can we contend with the forces of nature?

Master Fazheng is a prime example!
At this moment, facing the bombardment of numerous divine thunderbolts, the golden light on Zen Master Fazheng's body had dissipated, and his golden body with three heads and eighteen hands had also disappeared.

Apart from the few Buddhist artifacts belonging to Zen Master Fazheng, those illusory Buddhist artifacts had long since disappeared.

"Boom!"

Allies wanted to come to the rescue, but just as they were about to take action, they were stopped by Master Feiyun, Fairy Shengyin, Master Huxin, and Palace Master Cui, who fought with all their might.

Everyone knows that the crucial moment has arrived!
If the Five Elements Immortal had killed Zen Master Fazheng, the Mingxin Temple would have been utterly defeated!
Even if Mingxin Temple sends experts over in the future, it will be of no use!
The "East China Sea Alliance" will seize this opportunity to sweep away all outsiders and completely bring all forces in the East China Sea under its control.

"Brother Li, your sect's Five Elements Ancestor is truly boundless in magical power and possesses great supernatural abilities!"

Liao Wanqing's beautiful eyes darted around, and she couldn't help but look deeply at Li Yunjing. Her gaze was so complex that even Li Yunjing couldn't understand what this woman meant.

"It's alright! The patriarch's abilities are beyond the comprehension of a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator like myself!"

Li Yunjing shook his head, then smiled and said, "However, the situation is much better, and victory is in sight!"

"Boom!"

With a series of deafening thunderclaps, Master Fazheng was already showing signs of injury.

He wanted to escape, but found that in the darkness, a force of heaven and earth seemed to have locked onto him, and even if Zen Master Fazheng fled to the ends of the earth, he would continue to be struck by lightning!

Unless these thunderous forces disappear!

"If any virtuous man or woman hears of Amitabha Buddha and holds fast to his name... they will be reborn in the Pure Land of Amitabha Buddha."

Finally, during the chanting of sutras, Zen Master Fazheng's body was struck by a "Bing Fire Divine Thunder" and turned into ashes.

"Whoosh..."

Just then, Sect Master Li of the "Soul Control Sect" blocked Flying Cloud True Man's attack and fled quickly into the sea!

No one expected that when Master Fazheng was taking the final blow, and everyone was consciously or unconsciously looking at the Five Elements True Man, the Sect Master of the "Soul Control Sect" would actually flee the battlefield!

And that is a signal!
The disciples of the "Soul Control Sect" below followed suit and fled in all directions!

They were all quick and agile, far surpassing those of other sects, and they really seized a vacuum period, allowing many people to escape.
