Chapter 792 Encirclement and Slaughter of Nascent Soul Transformation Realm, Annihilation of the Xuanbing Palace (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

The colossal "Mysterious Ice Palace," which has been entrenched in the far northern ice plains for ten thousand years, faced its most unexpected and most careless moment, when it was struck by a terrifying lightning tribulation!
The great war has broken out!
Li Yunjing glanced one last time at the guests who were in a state of shock and commotion, then transformed into a dazzling purple bolt of lightning, soaring into the sky and shooting without hesitation toward the most radiant long-distance teleportation array atop the main peak.

His goal is to target the core of the "Mystic Ice Palace"!
The memorial day arrived as scheduled.

As for whether these guests have behaved strangely?
Just as Li Yunjing left, a blazing light shot straight into the sky from within the "Shenxiao Mountains".

The combat power at the Nascent Soul stage was unleashed in an instant!

That's Lord Shenfeng from the "Shenxiao Dao Sect"!

As a guardian beast of the mountain, the Divine Phoenix was left in the sect by Li Yunjing to lead many Nascent Soul Realm cultivators and to appease the guests!

The entire Shenxiao Mountain Range fell into a deathly silence, which was then followed by a deafening uproar!

The guests stared in disbelief at the dramatic turn of events, hardly able to believe their eyes.

Just moments ago, the celebratory scene was filled with auspicious omens, but in an instant, it transformed into a scene of impending battle filled with murderous intent!

"A Nascent Soul aura! That's the guardian beast of the Divine Firmament Dao Sect!"

"My God! The Divine Firmament Dao Sect actually had such a hidden foundation!"

"The Xuanbing Palace... the Xuanbing Palace was actually attacked!"

Representatives from various sects looked at each other, their faces filled with shock.

Representatives of some forces friendly with the "Mysterious Ice Palace" turned pale and subconsciously tried to send a message, only to find that the surrounding space had already been sealed off by an invisible restriction, rendering all means of communication ineffective.

"Fellow Daoists, there is no need to panic."

A clear, cold female voice came from the clouds. The divine phoenix transformed into human form, wearing a crimson-gold feather robe, and stood proudly in the void.

"Today's matter is a feud between the 'Divine Firmament Dao Sect' and the 'Mysterious Ice Palace,' and has nothing to do with you all."

She exuded a suffocating aura of a Nascent Soul cultivator, yet her voice remained calm as still water: "Please remain on the viewing platform for now. Once the war is over, our sect will offer generous gifts as an apology."

As they spoke, dozens of Nascent Soul Grand Elders quietly appeared around the viewing platform. Although they wore smiles, their spiritual pressures subtly merged, forming an invisible barrier.

Several elite groups of disciples, carrying array flags, quickly set up restrictions at various key points.

This seemingly soft yet firm stance immediately quieted down the somewhat agitated scene.

The representatives of all parties were shrewd; at this moment, the "Divine Firmament Dao Sect" had clearly made thorough preparations. If they acted rashly, perhaps...

"The Divine Firmament Dao Sect has quite the grand scale!"

An elderly cultivator with white hair and beard muttered to himself, his eyes filled with shock: "Openly celebrating the festival while secretly plotting... this is going to decide the fate of the world in one battle!"

"The Xuanbing Palace has dominated the Northern Region of the Southern Heaven Continent for hundreds of thousands of years, but today it seems..."

Another sect's supreme elder echoed in a low voice, his tone tinged with schadenfreude.

There was much discussion on the viewing platform, with everyone reassessing the strength and power of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect".

Some quick-thinking individuals have already begun to plan for the post-war shifts in power and how their own sects should choose sides.

Meanwhile, millions of miles away, the "Mysterious Ice Palace" has undergone a complete upheaval!

"Palace Master! Something terrible has happened! The sect's protective formation has been breached, and three Nascent Soul experts have broken in!"

Inside the main hall of the Xuanbing Palace, an elder staggered in, his face ashen: "The Xiao family from the 'Luofu Continent' has also invaded!"

"What?! How dare the 'Divine Firmament Dao Sect'..."

The Palace Master, who was seated on the Ice Throne, suddenly stood up, and a corner of the throne, forged from ten thousand years of ice, was crushed: "Isn't today their Sect Leader Ceremony?!"

Even now, the temple master is still somewhat in a daze.

"Report!"

Another disciple, covered in blood, stumbled into the hall: "The seven sects of the South have rebelled simultaneously and are attacking our spirit mines and herb gardens!"

The entire "Mysterious Ice Palace" was in chaos, with countless disciples in a state of panic.

They never imagined that the Xuanbing Palace, which had dominated the northern region of the Southern Continent for hundreds of thousands of years, would be attacked with such overwhelming force on the most unlikely day!

The combined strength of the opposing side is simply too great.

Meanwhile, Li Yunjing had already arrived at the "Northern Emperor Sect" canyon via the teleportation array.

The four guardian armies were fully prepared and ready to go, their chilling aura soaring into the sky.

"Azure Dragon Army, follow me straight to the core of the Xuanbing Palace!"

"The White Tiger Army is clearing out the outer strongholds!"

"The Vermilion Bird Army controls the spiritual vein hub!"

"The Xuanwu Army has blocked all escape routes!"

As orders were issued, the war machine was fully activated.

Li Yunjing looked north, his eyes blazing with lightning: "Xuanbing Palace, your era... should end."

Li Yunjing's order was like a final judgment; the cold words crashed into the frigid air, stirring up a chilling atmosphere.

The Four Guardian Armies, this war behemoth built by the "Divine Firmament Dao Sect" with all its resources, have finally revealed their fangs.

The Azure Dragon Army, as the main force, followed closely behind Li Yunjing, who had transformed into lightning. Like a sharp, tempered blade, they plunged straight into the Azure Kingdom, crossing many passes along the way, heading straight for the gate of the Mysterious Ice Palace.

The "Black Tortoise Army," "White Tiger Army," and "Vermilion Bird Army" were deployed around the perimeter to clear all obstacles for the main force.

The path leading to the "Mysterious Ice Palace" is no longer a scene from the human world.

Slaughter became the only melody.

Although the "Cang Kingdom" is large, it is already teetering on the brink of collapse under the attacks of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect", the "Northern Emperor Sect", the "Xiao Family", and the local surrender faction.

Many of the "Mysterious Ice Palace" and its affiliated forces could not withstand the onslaught. Some chose to surrender, some chose to flee, and others chose to retreat, converging on the "Mysterious Ice Palace" in an attempt to put up a final stand.

This choice, however, made Li Yunjing very happy.

Gather together and annihilate them with all your might; this is much more time-saving and labor-saving than searching everywhere and slowly clearing them out.

Three days later, the once crystal-clear, jade-carved Xuanbing Palace complex was torn to pieces by raging lightning and chilling ice magic.

The massive ice crystal pillar snapped in half, crashing down and kicking up a cloud of blood mist.

The exquisite ice sculpture pavilion was ignited by lightning and fire, and the eerie blue flames leaped and burned on the millennia-old ice, making crackling sounds.

Melted ice water mixed with blood flowed wildly across the ground, only to be frozen into dark red, filthy lumps of ice by new extreme cold spells.

High above the "Mysterious Ice Palace," a fierce battle raged between Nascent Soul cultivators and True Monarchs at the Divine Transformation realm.

The Nine Heavens Divine Thunder of "Xuanzhenjun" transformed into a sky full of thunderous prisons. With each flash, a Supreme Elder of "Xuanbing Palace" fell from the sky with a scream, his body charred black, and his nascent soul was shattered by the lightning before he could escape.

With each swing of the "Nine Heavens True Lord's" magic weapon, the "Demon-Slaying Mace," the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is drawn, smashing the disciples of the "Mysterious Ice Palace" who are trying to form an array to resist into dust.

The "Ancestor Xiao Xuan" was even more direct. The "Destruction Divine Light" passed down by the Xiao family swept across, and the Xuanbing buildings, magical artifacts, and even cultivators that it touched were all silently turned into ashes.

The countless old monsters who had been in seclusion in the "Mysterious Ice Palace" were awakened and roared as they rushed out of the deep, cold cave.

A Nascent Soul cultivator nearing the end of his lifespan, his body engulfed in a ghastly white "Mysterious Ice Soul Flame," recklessly lunged at "Nine Heavens True Monarch," choosing to self-destruct his Nascent Soul!

"boom!"

The devastating energy shockwave swept across an area of ​​several miles, instantly vaporizing dozens of cultivators from both factions who were unable to dodge, without even being able to scream.

"Nine Heavens True Lord" grunted, his protective immortal light swaying violently, a cold smile playing on his lips.

Even the power of a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator was insufficient to harm this top-tier expert!

The aftershocks of the Nascent Soul Grandmaster's self-destruction, nearing the end of his lifespan, had not yet dissipated when an even more terrifying and profound chill suddenly erupted from the "Eye of Ten Thousand Years of Ice Marrow" at the deepest part of the "Mysterious Ice Palace"! "Buzz..."

Space seemed to freeze, and time itself seemed to stand still.

An old, withered figure, yet imbued with boundless majesty and fury, slowly rose from the icy eyes.

He had no dazzling light around him, only a thin layer of absolute dark ice that seemed to devour all light and heat, covering his body. Wherever he passed, even the raging thunder and flames seemed to be frozen and extinguished.

It was none other than the Nascent Soul Ancestor of the Xuanbing Palace, the Xuanming True Lord!
He had been asleep for too long, his aura almost merging with the entire Ice Palace's earth veins. Now, he was forcibly awakened by the crisis of the sect's survival. In his open old eyes, there were no pupils, only two swirling, extremely cold abysses.

Those who offend my 'Mysterious Ice Palace'... shall die!

The hoarse voice, though not loud, was like an ancient, chilling wind that swept through the souls of all cultivators, causing both sides in the fierce battle to pause involuntarily.

"Old Ghost, you've finally come out!"

"Nine Heavens True Lord" sneered, his eyes blazing with fighting spirit, "I thought you were going to just watch your disciples and followers die!"

"Xuanming! Your opponents are us!"

The lightning around "Xuanzhenjun" blazed brightly, subtly forming a pincer attack with "Jiuxiaozhenjun".

"Ancestor Xiao Xuan" snorted coldly and did not immediately step forward. Instead, he locked his aura on "True Monarch Xuanming" and the Purple Heaven Annihilation Divine Light flickered at his fingertips, searching for an opportunity to kill him with one blow.

Three Nascent Soul cultivators ganging up on one person was already giving the opponent a huge "face," but no one dared to be careless, after all, this was an old monster who had lived for four thousand years.

This is practically an ancient history book!
However, one against three of the same level has absolutely no chance!
Xuanzhenjun, Jiuxiao Zhenjun, and Xiao Xuan Laozu were full of confidence and determined to kill this invincible being today!
The "True Lord of the Mysterious Netherworld" ignored their challenge. His abyss-like eyes pierced through the battlefield and locked onto Li Yunjing, who was sweeping away the Supreme Elder of the "Mysterious Ice Palace" with lightning speed.

"Young man...you are the culprit?"

Before he finished speaking, "True Lord Xuanming" pointed his withered finger in the air.

Without any earth-shattering force, the space around Li Yunjing instantly collapsed and solidified. The extreme cold ignored the Purple Heaven Divine Lightning protecting him and directly eroded his physical body and nascent soul, aiming to turn him and this space together into an eternal ice sculpture!

This is a furious strike from a Nascent Soul cultivator, containing the power of the Great Dao Laws!

Li Yunjing's pupils constricted sharply as he felt an unprecedented threat of death.

But instead of fear, his eyes blazed with even more intense lightning.

"Well done!"

He roared and advanced instead of retreating, his body's "Divine Firmament Dao" running wildly, and the "Thunder Seal" held by his Purple Mansion Nascent Soul suddenly shone with dazzling light!
"Shatter the darkness with thunder! Break!"

"Boom!"

Li Yunjing seemed to transform into a purple sun, with billions of extremely powerful and yang-like destructive lightning bolts erupting from him, forcefully breaking through the terrifying chill that had frozen the space!
The extreme collision of lightning and ice produced a piercing shriek that tore at the very soul!
A burst of light erupted, and turbulent energy swept outwards like a tsunami, completely leveling the ruins of dozens of nearby palaces. Countless low-level cultivators were blasted into dust by the aftershocks before they could even react!

Li Yunjing grunted and flew backward. The lightning around him dimmed considerably, and blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, clearly indicating that he had suffered a loss.

But in the end, he managed to withstand the attack from the Nascent Soul Realm expert by relying on his own strength and the characteristics of divine lightning that overcomes evil!
"Hmm? You actually managed to catch it?"

A slight hint of surprise appeared on the usually impassive face of "True Lord Xuanming".

Just as he attacked Li Yunjing, his aura fluctuated slightly!

"It's now!"

"Mysterious Lord" and "Nine Heavens True Lord" have made their move!
"Nine Heavens Thunder Control True Technique! Heavenly Punishment!"

"Xuanzhenjun" summoned the thunderous energy of the Nine Heavens, which condensed into a purple thunder spear that stretched across the sky. Carrying the power of heavenly punishment, it slammed towards "Xuanmingzhenjun" in the back!
"The Big Dipper! Shattered Stars!"

"Nine Heavens True Lord" poured all his magical power into the "Demon-Slaying Mace," and this ancient treasure burst forth with unprecedented light, becoming enormous, like a pillar of heaven, and crashing down on "Mysterious Netherworld True Lord"!
Its power was so great that it seemed capable of shattering stars with a single blow!
At the same time, "Ancestor Xiao Xuan," who had been preparing for this moment, also made his move.

He did not attack the "True Lord of the Mysterious Netherworld" body. Instead, he formed a hand seal and a subtle yet extremely condensed "Destruction Divine Light" silently shot towards the connection point between the "True Lord of the Mysterious Netherworld" and the "Eye of Ten Thousand Years of Ice Marrow" below, intending to sever the earth vein's blessing!
The coordinated attack of the three Nascent Soul cultivators instantly cornered "True Lord Xuanming"!

"Ancestor!"

The remaining disciples of the "Mysterious Ice Palace" below let out desperate cries.

"True Lord Xuanming" let out an angry roar, and the dark ice on his body suddenly thickened. Countless ancient ice runes appeared. He raised his hands with difficulty, one hand evolving an endless ice prison to try to freeze the lightning spear, and the other hand holding up the nine-layered ice shield to withstand the Demon-Slaying Mace!

"Crack!"

Heaven and earth fell silent, with only destructive energies colliding and annihilating each other.

The lightning spear shattered, and the icy prison exploded!
The Demon-Slaying Mace crashed down, shattering the Xuanbing Shield layer by layer!
The body of "True Lord Xuanming" trembled violently, and countless cracks appeared on the dark ice on his body. A mouthful of pale blue life essence blood containing terrifying coldness was sprayed out, instantly freezing the ground below for thousands of miles!

The "Destruction Divine Light" from "Ancestor Xiao Xuan" successfully severed part of his connection with the earth's veins, causing his aura to suddenly drop!
"You...damn it!"

"True Lord Xuanming" was severely injured and let out a furious roar of resentment, his aura becoming violent and unstable.

Take advantage of his illness and kill him!
Li Yunjing forcibly suppressed his injuries, a fierce glint flashed in his eyes, and he once again transformed into lightning and charged forward, joining the other three Nascent Soul cultivators in launching a fierce and relentless attack on "True Lord Xuanming"!
The balance of power among top-tier combatants has completely tipped.

The war below has also entered its final reckoning phase.

Having lost the protection of their Nascent Soul Ancestor and witnessed him being besieged and severely injured, the morale of the "Mysterious Ice Palace" disciples collapsed.

Surrenderers, deserters, and desperate suicide bombers... they were everywhere.

The "Azure Dragon Army" and "White Tiger Army" ruthlessly wiped out every corner.

The Vermilion Bird Army successfully controlled multiple spiritual vein nodes, cutting off the last energy source of the Xuanbing Palace.

The Xuanwu Army, like the most patient hunters, intercepted and killed all the Xuanbing Palace disciples who tried to escape the encirclement, leaving corpses scattered across the border of the icy plains.

The main hall, which was stubbornly resisting, was surrounded by the main forces of the four guardian armies.

Countless lightning spells, sword lights, and magical treasures poured down on the final protective light barrier like a torrential rain. The barrier flickered violently, its light fading and changing, and the disciples inside looked ashen-faced.

"Lord Xuanbing, are you still going to fight like a cornered beast?"

While participating in the siege of "True Lord Xuanming", Li Yunjing's icy voice echoed across the battlefield: "Open the gate and surrender, and you can save the lives of the low-ranking disciples in the hall!"

After a moment of deathly silence, a weary and desperate sigh echoed from the dilapidated main hall.

The protective light shield slowly dissipated.

The surviving members of the "Mysterious Ice Palace" leadership, led by the palace master, emerged with ashen faces, laid down their magical artifacts, and chose to surrender.

Only in the air, the heavily injured "True Lord Xuanming" was still struggling frantically under the siege of three equals, roaring repeatedly, but his defeat was inevitable.

The sky over the far north ice plains was stained with eerie and cruel colors by thunder, fire, and the blood mist of ice that had never melted for millennia.

The behemoth that had dominated the northern region for hundreds of thousands of years met its end on this day.

Li Yunjing hovered in the air, looking down at the icy plain reshaped by blood and fire, his eyes cold and resolute.

Even if I die, I will make you pay the price!

The roar of "True Lord Xuanming" was like the last blizzard on the ancient ice plains, filled with resentment and madness.

His body was covered with dark, mysterious ice cracks, and pale blue life essence blood kept seeping from the wounds, which then froze into even deeper cold crystals. However, the aura emanating from his body became increasingly violent, like a dying primordial beast, wanting to drag all its enemies to the underworld together.

"Like a cornered beast, it will fight back even in its death throes!"

"Nine Heavens True Lord" snorted coldly, and the "Demon-Slaying Mace" in his hand once again burst forth with dazzling starlight. He unleashed a "Shaking Light" strike, which was not a violent smash, but rather transformed into countless intertwined and resilient starlight threads, like a net that wrapped around "Mysterious Netherworld True Lord's" feet and arms, restricting his movements and eroding his magical power.

"Thunder comes!"

"Xuanzhenjun" showed no mercy, forming hand seals to summon thunderclouds from the heavens.

No longer a single, violent lightning spear, but transformed into countless fine, rain-like "Purple Heaven Evil-Slaying Divine Lightning." These divine lightning bolts were as small as needles, yet they were all-pervasive, specifically targeting the cracks and energy nodes of the "Mysterious Netherworld True Lord's" protective ice, constantly detonating the chaotic icy elemental power within his body, causing damage from the inside out.

Each flash of lightning caused the "True Lord of the Dark Underworld" to tremble violently, exacerbating the cracks in his body.

"Heh heh! You want us to pay the price?"

"Ancestor Xiao Xuan" wandered around the periphery, and his "Destruction Divine Light" became even more unpredictable and cunning.
