Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 706 Nine Transformations of Thunder Prison, Grandmasters Clash (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

The Netherworld Ancestor finally changed color: "You actually refined the tribulation lightning into sword intent?!"

"Now you know you're afraid?"

Qin Jiuxiao laughed and stepped forward. With his first step, the seven swords transformed into thunder dragons; with his second step, thunder-patterned armor appeared around his body; with his third step, he transformed into a hundred-foot-tall thunder god dharma form!
"Thunder Prison Immortal-Slaying Sword!"

The seven lightning dragons merged into one, actually condensing into a miniature lightning tribulation vortex at the tip of the sword.

The Nine Nether Profound Ice Shield that the Netherworld Ancestor hastily summoned shattered into pieces the moment it came into contact with the sword light, and the lightning sword, still undiminished in its momentum, pierced through his left shoulder!

"Impossible! You're just a junior who recently broke through; how could you possibly be my match?"

The Netherworld Ancestor screamed and retreated thousands of feet, his black blood staining the ground and creating countless deep pits.

He glared menacingly at Qin Jiuxiao: "You all deserve to die for forcing me to use this move!"

Suddenly, the Netherworld Ancestor took out nine pale white talismans.

Each talisman displayed a distorted ghost face, which was the crystallization of the resentment of nine Nascent Soul stage peak cultivators before their deaths!

"Nine Netherworld Devouring God Talisman?!"

Li Yunjing was greatly surprised. "I never expected this person to have such a high level of skill in the art of talismans. He is actually a grandmaster of the art of talismans!"

"I am a Grandmaster of Array Formation, and you are a Grandmaster of Talisman Formation!"

Qin Jiuxiao laughed loudly, and his Thunder God Dharma Form advanced instead of retreating: "Well done! Today we'll see who's stronger and who's weaker!"

He made a fist with both hands, and the seven thunder swords reassembled in his palms, transforming into a giant hammer wrapped in purple-gold thunder patterns. "Let me show you the true Divine Firmament Thunder Technique!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The moment the giant hammer struck, a thunderous roar, like the sound of a great bell, resounded throughout the heavens and earth.

The nine God-Devouring Talismans collided with the Thunder Hammer, unleashing a dazzling light that eclipsed the sun and moon.

Li Yunjing, who was watching the battle, had to close his eyes. Even so, he could still feel warm tears of blood sliding down his cheeks.

That's a sign of being burned by the collision with the Dao.

The others weren't much better off!

When True Monarchs at the Nascent Soul stage clash, any True Person must give way and dare not approach their main battlefield.

Even the armies of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" and the "Youming Gui Sect" paused due to the battle between True Monarchs at the Nascent Soul stage, each standing on one side, facing each other from afar.

"Boom!"

The ninth collision between the Thunder Hammer and the Ghost Talisman tore the Hundred-Mile Cloud Sea to shreds.

"happy!"

Qin Jiuxiao's Thunder God Dharma form had dimmed, yet he still laughed heartily, "I haven't enjoyed myself this much in three hundred years!"

"Young man, this is just the beginning!"

The Netherworld Ancestor's Nine Netherworld Robe was mostly torn, revealing his body covered with strange incantations.

He was absolutely furious!

A junior has driven him to this point, causing him to lose all face!
Filled with rage, the Netherworld Ancestor had only one thought: to completely eliminate Qin Jiuxiao and wash away his humiliation!

Otherwise, one's thoughts will not be clear, and one's resolve will be unstable!
He suddenly bit his tongue, spitting out a stream of blood essence: "Nine Netherworld Summoning!"

Within the blood mist, nine Nascent Soul stage corpse puppets slowly rose to their feet.

Each corpse puppet had a blood-red talisman floating above its head, which was actually a natal talisman made from the supernatural power it was most skilled in during its lifetime!
"Blood Rune Puppet Technique?"

Li Yunjing's pupils constricted sharply. "He actually knows such forbidden techniques?"

"This monster is not easy to deal with!"

Li Cangqiong also frowned.

Since recovering from his injuries and breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm, his progress has been minimal because the time has been too short to fully unleash his potential and convert it into combat power.

His eyesight remained sharp, and he naturally recognized the power of the Netherworld Ancestor!
"If Palace Master Qin falls into a disadvantageous position, we will swarm him and kill him!"

"Illusory Heaven Sword Master said coldly."

"Excellent! Attack together! Even a Nascent Soul Realm True Monarch couldn't stop so many of us!"

The other elders nodded in agreement, their gazes turning cold as they looked at the Netherworld Ancestor.

"My disciple, watch carefully!"

Qin Jiuxiao suddenly slammed the thunder hammer into the ground, shouting, "Nine Transformations of Thunder Prison!"

The earth suddenly split open, and nine pillars of lightning shot into the sky.

Each lightning pillar was coiled with a lightning dragon, its eyes pulsating with different colored lightning flames.

Azure skies, celestial abyss, purple palace... these were none other than the manifestation of divine thunder from the Nine Heavens!
"First Transformation, Azure Sky Locking Spirit!"

The azure lightning dragon roared out and instantly entangled the three corpse puppets.

The crimson talisman struck the lightning, producing a sickening "sizzling" sound.

A corpse puppet suddenly exploded, and the terrifying shockwave shattered most of the Thunder Dragon.

"Second Transformation: Azure Sky Burns!"

The azure lightning and fire transformed into a raging sea of ​​flames, and the remaining corpse puppets twisted and howled in the fire.

"You have the means, but I don't?"

The Netherworld Ancestor sneered and made a hand seal: "Turn!"

Suddenly, the burning corpse puppets melted and reformed into a hundred-foot-tall blood talisman giant in the sea of ​​fire!
"Third transformation! Fourth transformation! Fifth transformation!"

Qin Jiuxiao shouted three times, and the three-colored thunder dragons merged into a giant sword that could cleave the heavens.

The Blood Rune Giant crossed his arms to take the sword head-on. Where the runes and lightning intertwined, the space shattered layer by layer like glass!
"Boom!"

The moment the giant exploded, countless fragments of blood runes rained down like a torrential downpour.

A shard grazed Qin Jiuxiao's cheek, instantly corroding it to reveal stark white bone.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the Netherworld Ancestor charged forward, his withered claws plunging straight for his heart: "Die!"

"Sixth Transformation, Divine Firmament True Form!"

At the critical moment, Qin Jiuxiao transformed into a bolt of lightning.

The Netherworld Ancestor's claws pierced through the phantom, but were instead bound by the suddenly solidified lightning that bound his right arm.

"Seventh Transformation, Thunderstrike!"

Pure white lightning spread along the withered claw, and the Netherworld Ancestor's entire right arm instantly carbonized.

He roared and shattered his right arm, the black blood from the severed limb transforming into countless tiny cursed insects that swarmed towards Qin Jiuxiao.

The central battlefield was on the verge of collapse.

The two masters went from intense fighting to a more peaceful exchange, but every strike was incredibly dangerous. If the opponent made even the slightest mistake, he would be severely injured by the opponent's fierce attacks!

It should be noted that the two masters used every means at their disposal, but they did not use any magic weapons!

Is there no magic weapon?

Absolutely impossible!

Instead, both of them were holding back their trump cards, ready to show the other a powerful move at a crucial moment!

The battle captivated the cultivators from both camps, who even forgot it was a battlefield. Everyone watched intently, eager to learn a move or two.

Li Yunjing learned the most from this!
His teacher's various methods had already integrated the Dao of Arrays into his supernatural powers; every move he made was imbued with the Dao of Arrays.

This is the fundamental reason why Qin Jiuxiao was able to fight against the Netherworld Ancestor with a low cultivation level!
At dawn the next day, the battlefield had moved to a great height in the sky.

Qin Jiuxiao's Thunder God Dharma Form was only half-formed, yet it still controlled the thunderclouds filling the sky.

The Netherworld Ancestor fared even worse; six of his nine substitute life talismans were shattered, and his left eye was now a bloody hole.

"Youngster..."

The old patriarch, panting, wiped the black blood from the corner of his eye. "How about we each take a step back..."

"Want to settle things now? Too late!"

Qin Jiuxiao fought with increasing ferocity, shouting, "Eighth Transformation, Thunder Heart Explosion!"

The moment the lightning essence left the body, the entire world lost its color.

The Netherworld Ancestor retreated in panic, only to find the Thunder Spirit following him like a shadow.

"You forced me to do this!"

The old ancestor suddenly ripped off the jade pendant from his waist and crushed it, shouting, "Netherworld Sacred Armor!"

A set of jet-black armor appeared out of thin air, its surface covered with countless contorted, pained faces.

"Rumble..."

The moment the lightning bolt collided with the armor, a blinding white light engulfed the surrounding area for thousands of miles.

As the light faded, both of them fell from the sky.

Qin Jiuxiao's chest was a bloody mess, while the Netherworld Ancestor's armor was mostly shattered, revealing the writhing flesh inside.

On the third day at dusk, the battlefield moved deep into the earth's veins.

Both of them were no longer recognizable as human beings.

Qin Jiuxiao used lightning as his bones to barely maintain his physical form; the Netherworld Ancestor, on the other hand, transformed into a writhing mass of flesh and blood, with a pained expression appearing on his face from time to time.

"Final blow……"

Qin Jiuxiao's voice was hoarse and strained, "It's time to decide the winner."

"Just what I wanted!" came a muffled reply from the mass of flesh.

"Ninth Transformation, All Thunder Returns to its Source!"

Qin Jiuxiao's remaining body suddenly disintegrated, transforming into nine natal thunder talismans.

The thunder in the heavens and earth flowed like rivers into the sea, condensing into a simple and unadorned wooden sword phantom in the center of the talisman array.

It is the supreme manifestation of the Divine Firmament Thunder Technique, the "Thunder Ancestor's Dao Sword"!
The flesh and blood of the Netherworld Ancestor contracted wildly, eventually solidifying into a beating black heart.

Nine faces appeared on the surface of the heart, chanting eerie incantations at the same time.

"Nine Netherworlds...together we perish..."

The moment the wooden sword collided with the black heart, time seemed to stand still.

There was no earth-shattering explosion, only a faint "click" sound.

Subsequently, the space within a radius of thousands of miles centered on the point of impact began to be annihilated inch by inch!
"not good!"

Xuan Tian Sword Master and Li Cangqiong joined forces and hurriedly deployed the "Zhou Tian Star Disc," shouting, "Everyone, retreat immediately!" As the space collapsed in front of the "Shenxiao Pass," a starlight curtain suddenly rose, barely protecting the pass.

The annihilation lasted for a full hour.

When the dust settled, a bottomless crater appeared in the center of the battlefield.

A crystal core wreathed in lightning floated at the bottom of the pit, next to which was half a broken black talisman.

Li Yunjing flew trembling toward the crystal core, when suddenly a familiar voice transmission rang in his ear: "My good disciple... this battle of yours... was exhilarating..."

Within the crystal core, the faint phantom image of Qin Jiuxiao's primordial spirit could be seen.

The black talisman then turned into ashes with a "poof".

"Won!"

A deafening cheer erupted at Shenxiao Pass.

Li Yunjing stared at the direction where the talisman ash was scattered, his brows furrowed: "Wait... where is the primordial spirit of the Netherworld Ancestor?"

Just as cheers resounded through the sky, two blinding lights suddenly lit up in the sky above the battlefield!

"Crack!"

On the eastern horizon, a jade slip covered in thunder patterns shattered out of thin air.

Countless bolts of lightning erupted from it, reforming into Qin Jiuxiao's figure in mid-air.

The lightning patterns around his body were more solid than before, and a purple-gold vertical mark appeared between his eyebrows.

"The Substitute Lightning Scroll?!"

Li Cangqiong was taken aback at first, then burst into laughter, "Well done, Senior Brother Qin! You actually turned your natal lightning technique into a substitute puppet!"

Almost at the same moment, the clump of ash on the ground to the west suddenly burst into flames without any wind.

Emerging from the eerie green flames, the Netherworld Ancestor emerged unharmed, though his face was paler: "This junior is indeed cunning, but..."

He suddenly ripped open his shirt, revealing nine beating hearts on his chest!

Only three left!

"Come again!"

The two roared in unison and began fighting again.

But this time, the fighting style is completely different!

"Thunderous Chess Formation, place the piece at the center!"

Qin Jiuxiao made a fist with both hands, and the divine lightning from the Nine Heavens transformed into a chessboard between his palms.

Each bolt of lightning that struck left an intricate array pattern in the void.

In the blink of an eye, the entire battlefield transformed into a three-dimensional chessboard, with the Netherworld Ancestor trapped in the "Celestial Origin" position!
"Array formations? I can do that too!"

The Netherworld Ancestor grinned and spat out three mouthfuls of blood essence. Three white bone altars appeared in the blood mist: "Nine Netherworlds and Three Powers, Reversing Yin and Yang!"

As the altar spun, the chessboard pattern began to twist and collapse!
The onlookers were stunned.

"I see!"

Li Yunjing suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "Master entered the Dao through formations, while the Netherworld Ancestor entered the Dao through talismans. Both of them are using the power of the laws to reshape the battle!"

The other Nascent Soul stage cultivators also seemed to be deep in thought.

Everyone was shocked by the two men's methods.

Only then did I realize just how difficult it was to kill a True Monarch at the Nascent Soul stage!

In the center of the battlefield, Qin Jiuxiao suddenly changed his tactics.

He pointed his fingers like a sword, actually condensing his lightning magic into a talisman: "Since you are skilled in talismans, I will use a talisman to break another talisman!"

With a flourish of his brush, a purple-gold thunder talisman took shape in mid-air.

It was none other than the "Gengjin Divine Thunder Talisman"!
"you?!"

The Netherworld Ancestor finally changed color and hastily summoned his natal blood talisman to defend himself.

The moment the two talismans collided, the entire world suddenly fell into an eerie stillness.

"This is……"

Li Yunjing found that his mind was still working, but his body was completely unable to move.

In the center of the still battlefield, two illusory figures emerged from Qin Jiuxiao and the ancestor's bodies.

It turned out that their primordial spirits clashed directly!
Qin Jiuxiao's primordial spirit was entirely covered in lightning, and he held a miniature lightning sword; the Netherworld Ancestor's primordial spirit was wrapped in nine chains, each chain imprisoning a screaming soul.

The two primordial spirits clashed with lightning speed in the still spacetime, each collision creating fine cracks in the real space.

"They're competing on their foundation!"

Li Cangqiong transmitted his voice secretly, "This is the most dangerous contest between Nascent Soul cultivators!"

"That's right! At the Nascent Soul stage, one can leave the Nascent Soul realm, but one cannot linger in the outside world for long. However, at the Deity Transformation stage, there is no problem with the Nascent Soul leaving the body, and it can even fight alongside the main body!"

Seeing Li Yunjing's furrowed brows, Xuantian Sword Master offered an explanation.

"I see!"

Upon hearing this, Li Yunjing looked as if he had suddenly realized something.

After learning the difference between the Nascent Soul Realm and the Deity Transformation Realm, Li Yunjing finally understood how dangerous it was for his teacher to clash with the Netherworld Ancestor!

An hour later, Qin Jiuxiao's thunder sword pierced the ancestor's primordial spirit in the chest.

At this crucial moment, an unexpected change occurred.

The ancestor's primordial spirit suddenly split into nine blood shadows, three of which directly entangled the thunder sword!

"Nine Netherworld Soul Splitting Technique?!"

Qin Jiuxiao's primordial spirit retreated violently, but his right arm had already been corroded by the blood shadow.

The physical body then spurted out a mouthful of blood.

"Jie Jie Jie!"

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the Netherworld Ancestor launched an attack, and the remaining six blood shadows transformed into talismans and stuck them to Qin Jiuxiao's brow: "Die!"

"Master!"

Li Yunjing's eyes widened in horror, and the "Purple Gold Gourd" suddenly burst forth with dazzling light.

The chaotic energy spewed from the gourd's mouth transformed into nine chains at the critical moment, binding the six blood talismans.

"Junior is seeking death!"

The Netherworld Ancestor roared, and a white bone banner suddenly flew out from his sleeve.

The moment the banner was unfurled, countless vengeful spirits shrieked out and devoured the Chaos Chains!
"Demon Flag!"

Li Cangqiong exclaimed in shock, "This old ghost actually refined such an evil object!"

"Finally willing to use the magic weapon?"

Qin Jiuxiao took the opportunity to retreat, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth and laughing loudly.

He slapped the top of his head, and a small bronze cauldron spun out. "Let's see if your 'Demon God Banner' is more powerful, or my 'Thunder Cauldron' is stronger!"

The small cauldron swelled in the wind, and countless thunder patterns appeared on its body.

As the cauldron tilted, thunderous liquid poured out like a waterfall!

"Crack!"

Those vengeful spirits crumbled at the touch, and even the "Demon God Banner" was corroded by the lightning plasma, leaving holes.

"Good baby!"

Instead of being angry, the Netherworld Ancestor laughed, suddenly removing the bone chain from his neck and tossing it into the air, "Then let's see who has more!"

The bone chain shattered, and nine magical artifacts of different shapes appeared simultaneously:

A "Blood Marrow Sword", a "Human Skin Drum", a "Netherworld Lamp", seven "Death Gate Nails", a pair of "Mother and Child Yin Soul Hooks", a "Yellow Spring Coffin", three "Heart-Eating Rings", "Nine Netherworld Chains", and the "Netherworld Ghost Seal" at the very center!
"A supreme treasure from the Nine Netherworlds?!"

The onlookers were horrified.

These nine items are all the treasures of the "Netherworld Ghost Sect", and I never expected that the ancestor would carry them all with him!

"Comparing quantities?"

Qin Jiuxiao's expression was solemn, but he showed no fear.

He bit his tongue, spitting out blood, and cried out, "Generals of the Thunder Department, appear!"

The Thunder Cauldron trembled violently, and seven bolts of lightning flew out from within it, transforming upon landing into the following images: Thunder God's Hammer, Lightning Goddess Mirror, Wind God's Fan, Rain Master's Flag, Cloud Child's Rope, Mist Maiden's Silk, and the most dazzling phantom image of the Divine Firmament Emperor's Seal!
"Using the Thunder Cauldron to evolve into a celestial palace treasure?"

Li Yunjing was captivated by what he saw.

This is the true skill of a grandmaster weapon refiner!
He never expected that his teacher was not only a grandmaster of array formations, but also a grandmaster of weapon crafting!

"Boom!"

The torrents of magical artifacts collided in mid-air, and the resulting spiritual pressure caused the earth to tremble and mountains to shake for miles around.

The Blood Marrow Sword clashed with the Thunder Hammer, the sound waves of the Human Skin Drum intertwined with the light of the Lightning Mother Mirror, and the deathly aura spewed from the Yellow Spring Coffin was firmly suppressed by the Divine Firmament Emperor Seal...

Outside Shenxiao Pass, the ground has collapsed and turned into a large underground rift valley!

At its deepest point, it was even three thousand feet deep!
This great rift valley almost completely severed the connection between Shenxiao Pass and Tianzhou!
"not enough!"

The Netherworld Ancestor's eyes darted around, and he suddenly bit off half of his tongue, spraying blood mist onto the "Netherworld Ghost Seal," shouting, "Nine Netherworlds descend!"

The Ghost Seal swelled to the size of a mountain, and the four characters "Netherworld Edict" on its base shone with a bloody light.

A murky, illusory image of the Yellow Springs surged out of the seal, polluting even the lightning wherever it passed!
"Disciple! The Purple-Gold Gourd!"

Qin Jiuxiao suddenly roared.

"Teacher, please accept this treasure!"

Li Yunjing, inspired by a sudden inspiration, immediately took out the "Purple Gold Gourd" and tossed it to Qin Jiuxiao.

Driven by Qin Jiuxiao's vast magical power, the chaotic energy at the mouth of the gourd surged, actually evolving into a small grotto-heaven next to the "Thunder Cauldron".

Even more astonishingly, three treasures flew out of the cave.

These were the "Yin-Yang Treasure Mirror," "Ancient Bronze Bell," and "Yin-Yang Five Elements Heavenly Evolution Sword" that they had previously acquired!
"To nurture a magical treasure within a grotto-heaven? Wonderful!"

Qin Jiuxiao laughed loudly, and the "Thunder Cauldron" suddenly turned upside down, taking the three magic treasures and all the generals of the Thunder Department into the cauldron.

When it was tilted again, what spewed out was a giant axe that was wrapped in chaotic energy!
"The Chaos Thunder Axe?!"

The Netherworld Ancestor finally showed fear and hurriedly summoned back the Nine Treasures to protect himself.

However, the trajectory of the giant axe's slash was extremely mysterious, and it actually struck the most vulnerable point of the Nine Treasures at the same time!
