Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 857 A Major Threat, Surrounded and Killed (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Along the way, he saw many corpses of the pioneers, some killed by the restrictions, others seemingly drained of their life essence by some kind of demon, their deaths tragic.

He also encountered some cultivators who were still struggling forward, fighting fiercely over the treasures that might lie ahead.

Li Yunjing passed by in a flash without stopping.

The deeper you go, the heavier the demonic energy becomes, and the more powerful and ancient the restrictions become.

Some demons and ghosts formed from pure demonic energy even began to appear, fearlessly rushing towards the invaders.

However, these were actually highly nourishing for Li Yunjing, who possessed the "Ten Thousand Demon Tower" and the "Nine Netherworld Yellow Springs True Scripture," and he casually collected and refined them.

Finally, after passing through a distorted spatial barrier, a huge underground palace appeared before them.

The palace has an ancient and menacing style, built of black boulders, with various demon and god patterns carved on the walls, exuding a chilling pressure.

In the center of the palace, there is a high platform, on which floats a skeleton that is as clear as jade but shrouded in thick black energy. In the skeleton's hands, a precious pearl that shimmers with dark light is held.

Several groups of people were already facing off around the high platform.

On one side were cultivators dressed in "Jade Void Cave Heaven" Daoist robes. The leader was a young man with a cold and stern face. His aura had reached the peak of the Nascent Soul realm. He held a whisk in his hand, which shone with a precious light.

On the other side were the disciples of the "Heavenly Demon Sect," each exuding a sinister aura. Leading them was a voluptuous woman in red with a bewitching face, whose captivating gaze was mesmerizing. Her cultivation was also at the peak of the Nascent Soul realm.

On the other side, a girl dressed in a seven-colored feather robe and with an ethereal temperament stood quietly. She was none other than Feng Qiwu, the "Immortal Body of Yao Guang"!

After many years, this woman has also broken through to the Nascent Soul realm!

She was alone, yet she seemed to blend seamlessly into her surroundings, making her someone not to be underestimated.

She seemed less interested in the demonic cultivator's remains, her gaze lingering more on the ancient demonic god carvings on the palace walls, as if she were trying to comprehend something.

Besides these three parties, there were also some other cultivators and rogue cultivators from other forces, but they were all slightly weaker and dared not approach.

Li Yunjing's sudden appearance did not cause much of a commotion. He continued to conceal his aura, looking like an ordinary Golden Core cultivator who had accidentally wandered into this place.

Only Feng Qiwu seemed to sense something, glancing in his direction, a barely perceptible hint of surprise flashing in her clear eyes.

“Xuan Chengzi of ‘Jade Void Grotto Heaven,’ do you Taoist sects also covet this demonic inheritance?”

The red-clad woman from the "Heavenly Demon Sect" giggled, her voice sweet and seductive.

"Hmph! You Ji, how can such a demon be allowed to roam freely and wreak havoc on the common people?"

"My Jade Void Grotto-Heaven shall naturally seal it away and take it back to suppress it!"

Xuan Chengzi's words were righteous and stern.

"Haha, what a loud tone!"

"Then let's meet Zhenzhang!"

Youji sneered, and her demonic energy surged.

Just as the two sides were about to fight, two crimson lights suddenly shone from the eye sockets of the demonic cultivator skeleton on the high platform!

"Intruder...die!"

A terrifying pressure, violent, chaotic, and filled with murderous intent, swept across the entire underground palace like a tidal wave!
The skeleton actually came back to life!

The crimson light shone brightly from the empty eye sockets of the demonic cultivator's skeleton, and a terrifying pressure far exceeding that of the Nascent Soul stage suddenly erupted, causing the entire underground palace to tremble violently!
That was not the aura of living beings, but a terrifying existence formed by the combination of lingering obsession and immense demonic energy!
"not good!"

"It's the remnant soul of an ancient demon awakening!"

Xuan Chengzi's expression changed drastically. He flicked his whisk, and thousands of silver threads transformed into a barrier to protect his body.

"Damn it!"

"This old thing has been dead for so many years, and he's still trying to come back to life?"

You Ji also paled, let out a sharp cry, and summoned a small blood-red banner. Demonic energy surged, protecting herself and her fellow disciples.

Phoenix Perched on the Wutong Tree was surrounded by a swirling rainbow of light, like a fairy untouched by dust, effortlessly dissolving the oppressive aura into nothingness.

Those weaker cultivators and rogue cultivators fared much worse. Under this terrifying pressure, many suffered mental breakdowns, bleeding from all seven orifices and dying. Some were even corrupted by demonic energy, their eyes turning bloodshot, and they began to frantically attack those around them.

"Ants... disturbing my slumber... may they all become provisions for my revival!"

The skeleton emitted a hoarse, distorted mental fluctuation. It suddenly opened its bone claws, and the dark, luminous pearl suddenly lit up!
"Boom!!!"

Beams of pitch-black demonic light shot out from the pearl, as if they had a life of their own, and accurately struck all the surviving cultivators present!
Wherever the demonic light passed, ripples spread through the space, carrying a terrifying power that corrodes the soul and devours life!
Xuan Chengzi roared, and the silver threads of his whisk cascaded down like a waterfall, weaving into a net in an attempt to block the demonic light. However, the demonic light easily pierced through the silver threads, which instantly became dull and lifeless!

He groaned, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

Youji's blood-red banner trembled violently, conjuring up countless demonic shadows, which then dissipated under the impact of the demonic light. Her face turned pale, clearly indicating that she was struggling to hold on.

Feng Qiwu moved nimbly, and the seven-colored rays of light transformed into barriers, constantly deflecting and dissipating the demonic light aimed at her. However, her expression also became much more solemn, as the power of the demonic light exceeded her expectations.

Just then, a seemingly inconspicuous beam of demonic light that had been shooting towards the corner suddenly shot straight towards Li Yunjing!

To everyone else, this rogue cultivator, who was only at the "Golden Core" stage, would inevitably be devoured by the demonic light and turned into withered bones in the next moment.

However, faced with this demonic light that was powerful enough to severely injure or even kill an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator, Li Yunjing simply raised his right hand.

There was no dazzling brilliance, no overwhelming momentum; he simply grabbed it casually.

That terrifying demonic light, powerful enough to corrode magical artifacts and annihilate life, was easily grasped in his palm like a docile fish!
The demonic light danced and twisted at his fingertips, emitting a hissing sound, but it could not harm him in the slightest. Finally, he closed his five fingers together, gently pinched them, and the light transformed into a wisp of pure demonic energy, which disappeared into his body.

quiet!
Deathly silence!

The once chaotic and noisy underground palace instantly became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Xuan Chengzi, You Ji, and even the usually composed Feng Qiwu all stared wide-eyed in disbelief at the still unassuming blue-robed cultivator.

Barehanded... he crushed the demonic light emitted by the remnant soul of the ancient demon?
How can this be? !
That was an attack that even geniuses at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage had to be on high alert!

"You...who are you?!"

Xuan Chengzi asked in a trembling voice that he himself did not realize.

Yu Ji's beautiful eyes sparkled with surprise and curiosity.

Feng Qiwu's clear eyes showed even greater surprise. She realized that she couldn't see through this stranger who had suddenly appeared.

"impossible!"

"You have an aura that I find repulsive!"

On the high platform, the demonic cultivator's skeleton seemed to be stunned for a moment, its scarlet eyes fixed on Li Yunjing, emitting an even more furious mental fluctuation: "Who are you?"

Li Yunjing ignored the shock of the crowd and the questions from the skeleton.

He slowly took a step forward, his gaze calmly fixed on the revived skeleton and the precious pearl in its hand.

"A mere wisp of a dying soul dares to presume to claim revival?"

Li Yunjing's voice was calm, yet carried an invisible authority: "Your era has long since ended."

Before he finished speaking, he pointed his fingers like a sword and gently touched the skeleton.

There was no earth-shattering force, only a tiny but extremely condensed chaotic lightning bolt, like lightning piercing through the void, instantly traversing the distance between the two and striking the skeleton's brow!
The skeleton seemed to sense a deadly threat, letting out a sharp howl and forcefully pushing the dark, luminous pearl towards its chest with both hands in an attempt to defend itself!
"boom!"

The chaotic lightning and the dark light pearl collided violently!
Contrary to expectations, the seemingly powerful orb was pierced through instantly by the chaotic lightning, as easily as paper!
The lightning continued its relentless advance, piercing directly into the skeleton's brow!
"Do not!!!"

The skeleton let out a desperate roar filled with resentment and fear, and the dense black aura around it melted and dissipated rapidly, like ice and snow exposed to sunlight.

The crimson light in his eyes dimmed rapidly and eventually went out completely.

"Clap!"

The crystalline skeleton, having lost all its support, scattered on the ground, turning into a pile of ordinary, withered bones.

The pierced pearl lost its luster and fell to the ground, its surface covered with cracks.

one move!
Just one move!
This ancient demonic remnant soul, which had caused all the geniuses present to feel troubled and even desperate, was completely annihilated by this mysterious blue-robed cultivator with ease!
The entire underground palace fell silent once again.

All eyes were on Li Yunjing, filled with shock, awe, and a hint of indescribable fear.

Xuan Chengzi swallowed hard, his throat bobbing.

You Ji's gaze toward Li Yunjing now carried a deep sense of apprehension and even a hint of admiration.

Feng Qiwu seemed to be deep in thought, as if trying to glean something from Li Yunjing.

Li Yunjing acted as if he had done something insignificant. He didn't even glance at the pile of bones and the broken pearls, but turned his gaze to the ancient demon god carvings on the palace walls, seemingly more interested in the patterns that contained Daoist charm.

After a moment, he seemed to remember something, turned to look at Xuan Chengzi, You Ji, and the others, his tone still calm:

"Now that this matter is settled, please make yourselves at home."

After speaking, without waiting for anyone's response, his figure seemed to merge into the void, slowly fading away and eventually disappearing as if he had never existed.

"Who is this senior master?"

Xuan Chengzi stared at the spot where Li Yunjing had disappeared, muttering to himself, his face still showing shock.

He considered himself one of the best of his generation at "Jade Void Cave Heaven," possessing a peak Nascent Soul cultivation level. With the help of the sect's treasures, he was confident that he was second to none among his peers. However, the strength displayed by the blue-robed cultivator just now had exceeded his comprehension.

That seemingly casual grab or finger gesture contained a profound and unfathomable Daoist essence and power.

"This is no ordinary rogue cultivator!"

Youji put away the blood-red banner, her alluring face displaying a complex expression—a mixture of lingering fear and excitement: "Could it be some reclusive old monster?"

"Or... a top expert from another continent?"

Her mind raced as she tried to match Li Yunjing's image with the known reclusive powerhouses, but found none of them matched.

Feng Qiwu didn't speak. She moved gracefully to the pile of scattered bones, squatted down, and gently touched the bones that had lost their luster with her slender fingers.

A cool sensation spread through my fingertips, and there was no trace of demonic energy left.

She looked up at the demon carvings on the wall again; Li Yunjing seemed to have shown some interest in them earlier.

"His gaze... seemed to pierce through the ancient Taoist spirit contained within these carvings."

Feng Qiwu thought to himself, "This person is not only exceptionally strong, but also has extremely high standards."

"Who is he?"

As a Yao Guang Immortal Body, she was extremely sensitive to the energy of heaven and earth, yet she was completely unable to detect any trace of Li Yunjing's departure, as if he had truly merged into the world.

"Don't stay here for long!"

Xuan Chengzi was the first to regain his senses. He looked warily at You Ji and Feng Qiwu, and then glanced at the surrounding cultivators and rogue cultivators who were still in shock. "Although the remnant soul of the ancient demon has been destroyed, the demonic energy here has not completely dissipated. I fear something unexpected may happen."

"let's go!"

With no more treasures to fight over, there was no point in staying. He led the disciples of "Jade Void Cave Heaven" and quickly retreated back the way they came.

He must report today's events to his master as soon as possible.

"withdraw!"

Youji also snorted coldly, took a deep look in the direction where Li Yunjing disappeared, as if she wanted to engrave his image in her heart, and then left with the people of the "Heavenly Demon Sect".

"Ugh……"

Feng Qiwu was the last to leave.

She glanced around the now empty underground palace once more, her gaze lingering for a moment on the pile of bones and the broken jewels, before finally transforming into a streak of seven-colored light and disappearing into the depths of the passage.

With the departure of these strongest forces, the remaining cultivators finally dared to breathe a sigh of relief. Looking at the pile of ancient demon skeletons that had once terrified them, and recalling the mysterious and unpredictable blue-robed cultivator, they felt a mix of emotions.

Some were relieved to have escaped with their lives, some were annoyed at missing out on a possible opportunity, and others firmly remembered their encounter with the "mysterious blue-robed expert of Wanku Mountain," which would surely become their bragging rights in the future.

……

Li Yunjing was naturally unaware of the huge commotion his casual act had caused behind the scenes.

He was now far away from "Wanku Mountain" and appeared tens of thousands of miles away above a sea of ​​clouds.

He stood with his hands behind his back on the clouds, the fierce wind whipping his robes.

In that underground palace, he wasn't entirely uninterested in the ancient demon's legacy; it was just that the remnant soul was of too low a level, and the pearl was already damaged, so it wasn't of much value to him.

On the contrary, the demon carvings on the walls contained a rough and domineering artistic conception of ancient demonic paths, which gave him some new associations with "The Way of Death". With a little understanding, he had already gained a lot.

"The Canglan Continent is indeed profound. You can find ancient demon remnants of this level in any random ruin."

Li Yunjing thought to himself, "It seems this trip won't be boring."

His gaze drifted into the distance, towards the deeper part of the "Canglan Continent," in the direction of the true core area of ​​the legendary "Thirty-Six Grotto-Heavens."

He sensed a more powerful aura, a more complex interplay of forces, and... a potentially greater opportunity that could help him fully perfect his magical power and break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

"Let's go to 'Myriad Laws Immortal City' next."

Li Yunjing made a decision.

Myriad Laws Immortal City is an extremely famous megacity for cultivators in the central part of the "Canglan Continent". It is jointly managed by several cave-heaven level forces. It has a thriving trade, is well-informed, and attracts people from all walks of life. It is an excellent place to gather information and seek opportunities.

With a swift movement, he transformed into a faint streak of light, tearing through the clouds and hurtling towards the City of Myriad Laws.

"Jie Jie Jie..."

A day later, as Li Yunjing was on his way, the surrounding sea of ​​clouds suddenly darkened and turned into rolling dark clouds.

A chilling, shrill laugh echoed from the dark clouds.

A moment later, an old woman with a wrinkled face appeared, hovering above a bronze cauldron, blocking Li Yunjing's path.

This person had no breath on him, as if he were dead.

However, Li Yunjing did not underestimate him at all. The aura emanating from him could kill a Golden Core cultivator and injure a Nascent Soul cultivator with a single wisp of it!

But his aura deliberately spread forward, and all that aura, the moment it approached her body, actually passed through her body as if it were passing through air.

No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a living person.

"Who are you?"

"Why are you blocking my way?"

Halfway there, they were blocked by dark clouds. The old woman looked mysterious and ill-intentioned, so Li Yunjing naturally didn't stand on ceremony.

With his cultivation level and status, there are few people on "Tianlan Star" who deserve his respect!
The person in front of you with ulterior motives is even less worth it.

"The leader of the 'Divine Firmament Dao Sect' is indeed remarkable..."

The old woman gave a forced smile, and with a wave of her withered hand, the sky darkened instantly, and the entire area within a hundred miles was shrouded in dark clouds.

Gray lightning flashed intermittently in the clouds, greatly affecting Li Yunjing's vision.

"Huh? They actually used an array to trap me?"

Looking at the old woman who had disappeared, Li Yunjing sneered. He was trapped by an extremely sophisticated formation.

This formation contains a method to conceal the heavens, hiding celestial secrets and auras, making it impossible for anyone to find the mastermind behind it.

"Since you refuse to reveal your origins, then I will personally capture you and search your soul!"

Li Yunjing smiled dismissively and said, "Under my array formation cultivation, all of this is in vain."

As he spoke, he was preparing to use his array control technique to influence the array with the interconnected energy of the array, break through the sky-covering magic, and find the mysterious old woman.

However, when he tried to circulate his true energy, he found that he could not move his body.

The sky suddenly darkened, and a large bronze cauldron crashed down, trapping him inside. "That's it?"

Li Yunjing was slightly startled, but quickly guessed the reason and laughed, "You think you can suppress me with an ancient magic weapon?"

"Li Yunjing!"

"You think that's all the tricks I have?"

The old woman's cold laughter echoed inside the bronze cauldron, tinged with smugness and malice. "This 'Soul-Suppressing Cauldron' is an ancient treasure, specifically designed to suppress the power of the soul and magic!"

"No matter how powerful you are, once you enter this cauldron, you will be suppressed and refined!"

Before the words were finished, the countless strange runes carved on the inner wall of the cauldron suddenly lit up, emitting a dim light.

An invisible, heavy pressure came from all directions, not only targeting the physical body but also directly affecting the soul, as if it wanted to crush and extract the three souls and seven spirits of a person!
At the same time, the temperature inside the cauldron rose sharply, and dark red flames appeared out of nowhere, carrying a foul and corrosive aura, wrapping around Li Yunjing, trying to refine him along with his protective true essence.

This "Soul-Suppressing Cauldron" is indeed a rare treasure. Its power to suppress and refine is enough to make even ordinary Nascent Soul True Monarchs feel troubled.

However, Li Yunjing merely raised an eyebrow slightly, showing no sign of panic.

"Specifically effective against spiritual and magical power?"

A mocking smile curled at the corner of his lips. "That depends on whose soul and magical power it's targeting."

He didn't even make a big move; it was just a thought.

"Buzz!"

The 365 "stars" that had been lit up in the body's acupoints suddenly shone brightly!
A vast and boundless stellar power surged forth, not to resist the suppressing force, but to resonate and vibrate with it at a mysterious frequency!
When the "Starfall Secret Manual" was pushed to its limit, it incorporated a trace of the true meaning of "Star Palace" star control that he had comprehended in the "Falling Star Order" star map.

The heavy pressure originating from the "Soul-Suppressing Cauldron" seemed to have met its nemesis in the face of this pure and vast stellar power that carried the essence of the universe and stars. It became sluggish and chaotic, and could no longer effectively restrain Li Yunjing.

As for the filthy dark red flames, they were blocked by a thin layer of lightning that contained the meaning of chaos and destruction before they even got within three feet of him. The lightning emitted a "sizzling" sound and was constantly being purified and annihilated, unable to advance an inch.

"What?! You..."

The old woman's voice, hidden within the formation, was filled with horror. She clearly hadn't expected Li Yunjing to so easily break free from the suppression and refining power of the "Soul-Suppressing Cauldron."

"Have you had enough fun?"

Li Yunjing's voice remained calm, yet carried a hint of coldness, "Now, it's my turn."

He no longer held back, raising his right hand, spreading his five fingers, and lightly pressing it against the cauldron wall.

"Boom!!!"

It wasn't the sound of thunder, but rather a grand sound like the collision of stars and the creation of a new star field!

A vast and immense force, combining the destructive power of chaotic thunder with the power of stars, erupted from the center of his palm!

This power was so terrifying that the ancient runes that lit up on the cauldron wall flickered like candles in the wind, and then shattered inch by inch!

The entire bronze cauldron groaned under the strain, its body trembled violently, and even fine cracks began to appear on its surface!

"No! Impossible!"

"My Soul-Suppressing Cauldron!"

The old woman let out a piercing scream, filled with heartache and disbelief.

"break!"

Li Yunjing exhaled and spoke, then unleashed another burst of palm power!

"Crack!!!"

With a crisp, loud bang, the bronze cauldron could no longer withstand the pressure and exploded!
Countless fragments, carrying violent energy, shot out in all directions!

The moment the cauldron broke, the dark cloud formation that blotted out the sky also seemed to lose its core support, and after a violent fluctuation, it quickly dissipated, revealing the clear sky once again.

As the sunlight shone down, Li Yunjing stood with his hands behind his back in the air, his purple robe fluttering in the wind, spotless.

Not far in front of him, the old woman who had been controlling the bronze cauldron appeared. Her face was deathly pale and blood was trickling from the corner of her mouth. Clearly, the destruction of the magic weapon had caused her to suffer a backlash. Her gaze toward Li Yunjing was filled with fear and resentment.

"You...what kind of monster are you?!"

The old woman's voice was shrill, devoid of its previous cold and smug tone.

Li Yunjing did not answer her question, his gaze sharp as lightning, locking onto her aura: "Now, you can tell me your origins and purpose."

With one step, the space seemed to compress beneath his feet, and he instantly appeared in front of the old woman. His right hand moved like lightning, aiming straight for her neck, intending to capture her alive and search her soul!
"Ah~~"

The old woman was so frightened that she screamed and her body suddenly exploded, turning into dozens of wisps of black smoke that fled in different directions. She had actually used some kind of secret technique, even abandoning a part of her physical body.

"Little tricks."

Li Yunjing snorted coldly, his fingers forming a sword-like shape as he drew a mysterious arc in the air.

"Certainly!"

Follow your words!
An invisible spatial confinement force instantly enveloped the area for several miles. The dozens of escaping black smoke wisps were like mosquitoes trapped in amber, instantly frozen in mid-air, unable to move an inch!
From one of the densest plumes of black smoke came the old woman's desperate wail.

Li Yunjing reached out and grabbed the black smoke of the main soul, then his powerful divine sense invaded it without hesitation and began to search for the soul!
A moment later, Li Yunjing frowned slightly and casually crushed the black smoke that had become murky and was about to dissipate.

"Hmph, so they are remnants of the 'Nether Sea'."

He didn't get much information from the soul search. The old woman was a reclusive Supreme Elder of the "Netherworld Sea" who was ordered to intercept and kill him. It seemed to be related to the fact that the "Netherworld Sea" had failed to obtain the ideal position at the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance meeting and wanted to take revenge and establish its authority.

However, the part of its memory containing the core secrets of the "Nether Sea" is under a powerful restriction, and it will self-destruct once touched.

"A clown, utterly pathetic."

Li Yunjing shook his head, not taking the matter too seriously.

If the "Nether Sea" dares to jump out again, he wouldn't mind wiping it out completely.

After killing the old woman from the "Netherworld Sea," Li Yunjing was about to leave this airspace when suddenly, a clear and melodious sound of a zither rang out between heaven and earth.

"Ding ding dong dong..."

The music was initially ethereal, like celestial music in the clouds, but in an instant it transformed into the sound of clashing swords and galloping horses, carrying a chilling and murderous intent, and resounded through the sky!
At the same time, a seven-story pagoda radiating a seven-colored, shimmering light broke through the clouds and slowly descended. Mysterious runes flowed across its body, emanating a chilling aura.

As the pagoda appeared, powerful auras emerged one after another in the surrounding void, faintly enveloping Li Yunjing in the center.

These auras, whether sharp as a sword, heavy as a mountain, or ethereal as a cloud, all belonged to the Nascent Soul stage of cultivation!
Li Yunjing glanced around and immediately recognized the newcomer.

Beneath the seven-story pagoda, a middle-aged Taoist priest dressed in a moon-white robe and with an ancient face sat cross-legged, with an ancient zither lying across his lap. The chilling zither music he had just played was his.

This person possessed a profound aura and was already at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm. He was none other than the renowned "True Lord of Heavenly Sound" from the "Heavenly Sound Pavilion," who had attained enlightenment through music!
He vaguely recognized the others surrounding him; they were all renowned Nascent Soul True Lords from the "Thirty-Six Grotto-Heavens."
A man carrying a long sword, whose sword aura soars to the sky, is the "Mysterious Sword Lord" of the "Bodhi Cave Heaven";
Holding a medicinal hoe, his body was full of vitality yet carried a hint of desolation; he was the "True Lord of Withering and Flourishing" of "Medicine King Valley".
A figure clad in a star-studded robe and holding an astrolabe is the "Star Lord of the Sea of ​​Stars";
There was another figure shrouded in shadow, whose aura was mysterious and unpredictable. He was another Supreme Elder of the Netherworld Sea, the "True Lord of the Ghost Soul," who had clearly come to avenge the old woman from before.

Five Nascent Soul True Monarchs joined forces to set up an array, and the "Heavenly Sound True Monarch's" seven-story pagoda, which was obviously extraordinary, suppressed the void!

This lineup is enough to sweep away most of the forces on "Tianlan Star", but now it is only for Li Yunjing!

"Fellow Daoist Tianyin, Fellow Daoist Xuanji, Fellow Daoist Kurong, Fellow Daoist Xingyan, and Fellow Daoist Youhun."

Li Yunjing's expression remained unchanged. His gaze swept calmly over the crowd, and his tone remained indifferent. "Why have you made such a fuss to block my path?"

Why does Sect Leader Li feign ignorance?

Tianyin Zhenjun stopped playing the zither, his voice gentle yet tinged with coldness, "You have been appearing in my 'Canglan Continent'."

"We are here on the orders of the Alliance Elders Council to invite Sect Leader Li to the Jade Void Palace for a chat, to fulfill our duty as hosts!"

"invite?"

Li Yunjing's lips curled into a slight sneer, "Inviting me doesn't require such a grand gesture, does it?"

His gaze suddenly turned sharp as he swept it towards Ghostly True Monarch: "Or perhaps, you've come to explain why the 'Netherworld Sea' has repeatedly launched secret attacks against me, while the Alliance has stood by and done nothing?!"

His last words were like thunder, carrying an invisible pressure that caused the black shadows surrounding Ghostly True Monarch to fluctuate violently.

"Li Yunjing! Stop being so arrogant!"

The Ghostly True Monarch shrieked, "You killed my Supreme Elder of the Netherworld Sea! Today, you will pay for this debt in blood!"

"Blood debt must be paid with blood?"

Li Yunjing sneered, "With just you?"

"Master Li is indeed as confident as the rumors say."

Xuanji Sword Lord spoke slowly, his voice as cold as his sword, "However, today the five of us have joined forces, and with the 'Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda' sealing off space and time, even if you have extraordinary abilities, I'm afraid you will find it difficult to escape this predicament."

"You'd better come back with us obediently, so as not to ruin the harmony."

"Harmony?"

Li Yunjing seemed to have heard a joke, "From the moment you set up a trap to surround me, there has been no harmony left."

"If you want me to go with you, then..."

He slowly raised his right hand, and the "Divine Firmament Thunder Seal" appeared in his palm. Chaotic lightning began to appear around his body: "Show me what you've got!"

"Stubborn!"

With a sigh, True Lord Ku Rong lightly waved his medicinal hoe, and lotus flowers bloomed in the void. One side was full of vitality, while the other was dead and withered. The two completely opposite forces intertwined into a net and enveloped Li Yun Jing.

"Set up the formation!"

Tianyin Zhenjun let out a low shout and plucked the strings of his zither once more. The sound of killing transformed into tangible sword energy, like a torrential downpour!

At the same time, the "Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda" above his head shone brightly, with seven-colored light descending to form a solid barrier and continuously compressing the space around Li Yunjing.

Xuanji Sword Lord pointed his sword and unleashed a sword aura, condensed to its extreme, which struck first and pierced straight at Li Yunjing's brow!
As the Star Lord spun the star disk in his hand, he drew upon the celestial power of the heavens, transforming it into countless star chains that coiled around him from all directions!

The Ghostly True Lord transformed into a shadowy figure, merging into the void, waiting for the opportune moment to launch a fatal attack!
The five Nascent Soul True Monarchs cooperated perfectly, each displaying their unique skills, and were further suppressed by the "Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda," a celestial artifact. Their every move was a decisive victory!

Such power is enough to make any cultivator in the late stage of Nascent Soul change color!
Faced with this overwhelming attack, Li Yunjing showed no fear, but instead his eyes burned with fierce fighting spirit!

"Well done!"

He let out a long roar, holding nothing back any longer!
"Chaotic Thunder Domain, open!"

"May the stars and celestial bodies bless me!"

"All demons return to their origin, aid me in defeating the enemy!"

Rumble!
Centered on him, a hazy chaotic domain suddenly expanded, with lightning becoming the absolute ruler, encompassing the life and death power of the True Monarch of Withering and Flourishing and the sonic sword energy of the True Monarch of Heavenly Sound, and frantically obliterating them!
At the same time, in the distant sky, the power of stars and a surge of powerful demonic energy crossed the void and poured into the Thunder Domain, causing its power to surge and forcefully withstand the suppression of the "Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda"!

With his left hand forming the Thunder Seal, he unleashed a punch—the "Thunder Tribulation Divine Fist"—the force of which transformed into a raging purple lightning dragon, crashing headlong into the Xuanji Sword Lord's indestructible sword energy and shattering it to pieces!
With his right hand forming a sword shape, he unleashed the "Great Zhou Heavenly Star Technique," his fingertips shimmering with starlight as he lightly touched the star chains condensed by True Monarch Xingyan. The chains, strong enough to bind mountains, instantly shattered inch by inch!

As for the strange sneak attack by True Monarch Youquan, Li Yunjing didn't even look at it. The chaotic lightning that naturally appeared around him forced him back, and he let out a muffled groan!
In an instant, Li Yunjing fought against five opponents and did not lose ground!

Within the Chaotic Thunder Domain, he seemed to transform into a thunder god, with every move he made summoning countless thunderbolts. He used various divine powers with ease, deflecting the attacks of the five True Monarchs one by one, and even showing signs of counter-pressure!

"How can it be?!"

Tianyin Zhenjun's expression changed drastically. He activated the "Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda" with all his might, but he found it difficult to suppress the opponent's domain!

"How could his power be so strange and overwhelming?"

Even the True Lord of Withering and Flourishing was greatly alarmed.

Xuanji Sword Lord's expression was extremely solemn. He felt as if he was facing not a person, but a vast sea of ​​thunderous stars!

"This beast is ferocious; we must not show mercy!"

The Ghostly True Lord screamed, his voice tinged with fear.

Originally, the six masters came to ambush and kill Li Yunjing, but the old woman made a move beforehand, resulting in a disaster and one of them being missing.

The remaining five thought that this was enough, but little did they know that Li Yunjing's strength had improved again after many years!

"You think you can capture Li with such meager skills?"

Li Yunjing stood in the center of the thunder domain, his purple robes fluttering, his eyes like lightning, sweeping over the shocked crowd. His voice, like thunder from the heavens, resounded in everyone's hearts: "Today, I will show you what true power is!"

Li Yunjing knew without asking why these people were making a move; it was because they saw that he was too powerful and strong, which affected the rule of the "Thirty-Six Grotto-Heavens".

They took advantage of my travels in the "Canglan Continent" to send out experts to ambush and kill me!

Before Li Yunjing finished speaking, his aura surged once again!

Within the chaotic thunder domain, the 365 illuminated acupoints, like stars in the heavens, resonated with the distant starry sea, drawing upon stellar power that almost materialized!

At the same time, the "Divine Firmament Thunder Seal" fully manifested, no longer a phantom, but the true body of the immortal artifact, floating above his head, with ten thousand chaotic lightning bolts falling down, perfectly merging with the Thunder Domain!
"Oh no! He wasn't using his full strength before!"

Tianyin Zhenjun was horrified, feeling the pressure from the "Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda" increase sharply, as if the chaotic thunder domain was about to devour the brilliance of his pagoda!

"All thunderbolts converge upon the ancestral temple, heed my command!"

Li Yunjing formed a hand seal, his voice resounding throughout the universe.

Within the Chaotic Thunder Domain, countless bolts of lightning seemed to come alive, transforming into thunder dragons, thunder phoenixes, thunder swords, thunder spears... and surging towards the five True Monarchs from all directions with earth-shattering force!

This is no longer a simple defense and resolution, but a complete counterattack!
Each bolt of lightning contained the essence of the creation and destruction of chaos, as well as the vast power of the stars, making it far more powerful than before!

"Join forces to resist!"

Xuanji Sword Lord roared, and the ancient sword behind him was finally drawn. The sword light transformed into a silver river that stretched across the sky, attempting to cut through the sea of ​​lightning.

However, the sea of ​​lightning was boundless, and his sword light was like a mud ox entering the sea. Although it destroyed a large amount of lightning, its own light also quickly dimmed.

Under the onslaught of the raging thunder, the life force of the True Lord Ku Rong's Lotus Net of Life and Death was annihilated and the deathly silence was shattered. He himself groaned repeatedly, and his hoe seemed to be struggling to hold on.

The Starry Sky True Lord's Star Chains seemed to have met their nemesis, crumbling in the face of the chaotic lightning containing the essence of stars. Cracks appeared on the star disk in his hand, and his face turned deathly pale.

The Ghostly True Lord was in the most miserable state. His famous Netherworld Escape Technique was nowhere to be found under the omnipresent lightning. A thick bolt of chaotic divine lightning struck the void where he was hiding, blasting him out of the void. His body was smoking and his aura was weak.

The most crucial clash was between Li Yunjing's Chaotic Thunder Domain and Tianyin Zhenjun's "Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda".

"Suppress me!"

Tianyin Zhenjun's hair and beard bristled as he pushed his magical power to its limit. The "Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda" shone with boundless brilliance, its seven-colored halos resembling seven worlds, pressing down layer upon layer, threatening to completely crush the Thunder Domain.

"Even a grain of rice can shine?"

Li Yunjing snorted coldly and pointed at the "Divine Firmament Thunder Seal" above his head.

"Divine Firmament Thunder Seal, Break Through Boundaries!"

"Buzz!"

The Divine Firmament Thunder Seal suddenly shrank, transforming into a purple lightning bolt condensed to its extreme, like the first thunderbolt to split the heavens and earth. Ignoring spatial distance, it struck the body of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda directly!

"when!!!"

A deafening roar erupted!

The Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda trembled violently, its brilliance dimmed by more than half in an instant, and even a tiny crack appeared on its surface!

"puff……"

As if struck by a heavy blow, Tianyin Zhenjun suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, his body swaying precariously, his gaze towards the Divine Firmament Thunder Seal filled with horror and disbelief!
His "Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda" was an ancient celestial artifact, yet it was damaged in a single encounter.

What level of treasure is that lightning seal of the other party?

Take advantage of his illness and kill him!
Li Yunjing pressed his advantage relentlessly, wielding his raging lightning domain like a thunder god descending to earth, and charged directly at the five people!
"The Thunder Emperor wields his whip, sweeping away all demons!"

He conjured a giant lightning whip in his hand, which swept across the entire army!
He lashed out with a whip at Xuanji Sword Lord, shattering his sword light and sending him flying, spitting out blood!

With a backhand whip, he struck at the withered and flourishing True Monarch, whose medicine hoe was sent flying by the lightning. The withered and flourishing True Monarch screamed as half of his body was charred black by the electric shock!
