Invincible!

Chapter 158 Water Mansion
While Li Xian rode his sword to the location where the sea serpent hid its treasure, far away in the Great Luo Immortal Sect, on the True Inheritance Peak belonging to Yan Cailian, everyone was filled with dread!
When they first saw Yan Cailian disappear from the list of true disciples, they already realized what was going on.

After questioning the spirit of the Haotian Mirror and confirming that Yan Cailian's True Inheritance Token could not sense her life force, all the Yan family members on True Inheritance Peak, as well as those cultivators who had submitted to her, felt as if the sky had fallen, and were filled with fear as they inquired about what had happened.

Some quick-witted individuals with special skills promptly severed all ties with Yan Cailian and sought other opportunities.

While everyone else was tormented by fear and the unknown, only Yan Zhenxing knew some of the inside story.

but……

It was precisely because he knew some inside information that he was more fearful and desperate than anyone else.

"How could this happen... How could this happen..."

He sat in his study, his face pale, his eyes vacant, and his body trembling slightly, feeling a persistent chill.

Yan Cailian is dead.

The Yan family, their biggest backer, has fallen!

"How could they be dead? Li Xian? Nangong Feixu? How could they possibly kill Senior Sister Yan?! What right did they have to kill Senior Sister Yan?!"

To deal with a mere newly promoted Dao Foundation cultivator, Senior Sister Yan, as a true disciple, has already personally taken action!

This shows how much importance is attached to it!
Even with Nangong Feixu in the way, Senior Sister Yan could easily kill the two of them!
But in the end, how could it be that Senior Sister Yan died?!

The final outcome of her battle with Li Xian and Nangong Feixu is no longer important.

Most importantly, Senior Sister Yan is gone...

What chain reaction will their lineage trigger next?

The fiefdoms and vassal states managed by the Yan family!
The disciples I supported, the power I built!
They will probably all vanish with the death of Senior Sister Yan.

"Wait, the disciple you're supporting!"

Yan Zhenxing seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

Senior Sister Yan has poured all her resources into the Yan family over the years, and although she has only managed to cultivate one person to the Magic Power Realm, but...

Several core disciples owed Senior Sister Yan a favor.

He immediately used his identity token to send a message.

"Senior Brother Zhou... what? He's in seclusion?"

"Senior Brother Ming...is he not in the sect? Did he go to his fiefdom?"

"Why can't I send the message... I... I've been blocked!?"

Yan Zhenxing's arm holding the identity token trembled slightly.

He clearly already knew something, but he still refused to believe it, continuing to send messages and doing useless work.

until……

"Senior Brother Yan, Senior Brother Yan, come quick! Junior Sister Yan Ruyue has been beaten up!"

"Our junior brother Song, whom we've been supporting, has also been removed from the list of candidates for entering the Dao..."

Negative news kept coming in.

Over the years, although the Yan family has not provoked those geniuses or those with connections who are qualified to enter the inner sect directly, they have controlled the outer sect rankings along with several other true disciples.

Although the success rate of outer disciples is very low, with such a large number of disciples, some will eventually stand out.

Originally, with Yan Cailian, a true disciple of the fourth realm, suppressing them, these outstanding individuals, even if they had forged their foundations, could only endure and suffer.

But now...

Yan Cailian is dead!
The building is about to collapse.

At this moment, these disciples, who had been holding back their resentment for so long, naturally sought revenge!

"It's over."

Yan Zhenxing immediately slumped into his chair.

The Yan family's century-long glory will now be completely consigned to history.

……

Fallen Star Sea.

Li Xian rode his sword at lightning speed.

"Magic power."

He felt this power...

True Qi is formed by the fusion of spirit and blood, and the resulting essence.

The transformed magical power becomes even more easily wielded.

He used his magic to fly on his sword, as if a force under his control enveloped him and carried him through the air.

In theory, as long as one's magical power is sufficient, one can fly as fast as one's consciousness can go.

"The Sun-Chasing Sword Qi is fast, but its instantaneous burst is somewhat lacking. When it comes to burst damage, the strongest is naturally the fire element magic... Therefore, my fire element magic... Endless Radiant Sun!"

This is also a sect-protecting magic technique!
It is said to be an "improved" version of the supreme magic of the Yaoyang Immortal Sect—Eternal Yaoyang.

You can call it "copying" if you want.

The Yaoyang Immortal Sect also "copied" the Five Elements Extinction Divine Light of the Daluo Immortal Sect and created the Five Elements Annihilation Divine Light.

Anyway, the spells of the nine major immortal sects are all copied from each other and are basically the same, so they often fight each other because of it. No one should laugh at anyone else.

Not only had he chosen the fire-based spells, but he also had his eye on the remaining earth-based and water-based spells.

To determine the specifics, one must observe which of the five innate energies is being used.

Different innate five elements have varying degrees of compatibility with spells, which will directly affect the progress of spell cultivation.

"I recognize this place; it should be just ahead."

Lingxu offered a somewhat delighted reminder.

"here?"

Li looked around.

As far as the eye could see, there was only the vast blue sea, with no islands in sight.

"Could it be..."

He glanced down.

"Yes, there is a water palace down here, which should have been left by a cultivator who mainly cultivated water-attribute magic."

Lingxu reminded him.

Li Xian turned and entered the water, disappearing thousands of meters into the ocean. Once he was thousands of meters deep, a terrifying pressure rolled in, forcing Li Xian to activate his Floating Dawn True Body to withstand it.

Fortunately, after descending more than 4,000 meters, there seemed to be a faint glow flowing ahead.

A formation that was still in operation suddenly appeared before our eyes.

When Li Xian saw the formation, many figures inside had already been alerted.

He glanced around and quickly spotted several six-armed sea serpents and a dozen or so four-armed sea serpents.

The maximum growth potential for the sea serpent race is the eight-armed sea serpent, which is often referred to as the sea serpent king.

The quantity is extremely small.

After all, if the Sea Serpent Clan were truly powerful, they wouldn't have been constantly launching sneak attacks and causing trouble; they could have openly attacked Youxian Island.

"Without the Sea Serpent King, things will be much easier."

Li Xian immediately accelerated, his sword energy piercing through the water, forcibly breaking through the water layer, and rushing straight towards the Water Mansion formation.

Although the Sea Serpent King has the word "King" in his name, he is not a true demon king.

Only demons who can rival humans at the seventh level of the Golden Core realm are qualified to be kings.

If such a demon race were to appear outside the outer seas, it would inevitably cause a huge upheaval, and the Dao disciples and elders of the nine great immortal sects would directly step forward to kill it.

Otherwise, if it is allowed to run rampant, the impact and damage it can cause will be too great.

It is no exaggeration to say that within the Nine Sects, demon kings are even rarer than immortal cultivators.

"call out!"

As Li Xian swiftly moved through the water formation, the pressure around him suddenly eased.

However, the Water Mansion Formation blocked all the water and water pressure outside the formation.

As he rushed into the water palace, the sea snakes that had been alerted also pounced on him.

Leading the charge was a six-armed sea serpent over six meters tall with a cultivation level of four.

Li Xian's gaze locked onto the target.

"Perfect timing for me to test the true power of my sword intent."

In his hand, he held the Three Realms Sword that he had seized from Yan Cailian.

This sword is somewhat similar to the Sky-Piercing Sword. Besides its sharpness, its greatest characteristic is that it enhances the cultivator's understanding and control of sword intent.

The next moment, Li Xian raised his sword high.

As he held the sword to the heavens, his spirit erupted, transforming into sword intent.

As the sword energy emitted a dazzling golden light, the condensed sword intent pierced through the void, striking the body of the six-armed sea serpent with a speed almost like thought and consciousness, unbound by space.

The moment the sword intent struck the six-armed sea serpent, its thoughts, will, and even the faintest ideas seemed to freeze.

The boiling blood and violent energy seemed to have been paused at the same time.

Even in that brief pause, the following Sun-Chasing Sword Qi, carrying the unique scorching heat and sharpness of the Great Sun True Gold, pierced through the head of the six-armed sea serpent.

"Oh!"

Ashes!

The Four Realms Sea Serpent, which Li Xian had to exert all his strength to kill not long ago, was defeated in a single encounter...

A sword intent, a sword aura, and the head was shattered!

The sword energy shone brightly, seemingly leaving behind a scorching aura and sharpness in the void.

The headless Four Realms Sea Serpent, its massive body propelled forward for a moment by inertia, finally losing momentum and plunging down, kicking up dust and dirt...

"Sword intent".

Li Xian said something.

not bad.

Sword intent is also the true meaning of magic.

In simpler terms, it means using concentrated spiritual awareness or mental power to remotely interfere with the nerve signals of others, directly interrupting the transmission of the practitioner's nerve signals and thus disrupting the flow of their magical power, qi and blood, and strength.

Different true meanings represent different levels of transmission efficiency.

Among them, the sword intent is vast and powerful, with a wide killing range.

The sword intent is refined and highly penetrating.

Each has advantages and disadvantages.

If a cultivator's mental will is highly concentrated or boiled to its extreme, causing nerve signals to become incredibly stable and transmission speed to skyrocket, the sword intent can interrupt a portion of it but cannot completely intercept it, which will lead to some effects such as slow reaction and chaotic thoughts.

but……

Li Xian's sword intent was powerful enough to fight Yan Cailian's Heavenly Extreme Sword Intent to the point of mutual destruction.

With the added amplification from this third-realm sword, the fourth-realm sea serpent, relying solely on its spiritual instincts, is naturally unable to stop it.

In the blink of an eye, they became victims of the sword.

To annihilate this fourth-realm sea serpent, Li Xian moved swiftly, his sword intent and sword energy crisscrossing as he charged directly into the sea serpent clan and wreaked havoc.

Now, he seemed to finally enjoy the same unbridled joy that Nangong Feixu had when she used Taiyin Xuan Guang to crush the weak.

In just a short while, the dozen or so sea serpents in the first and second realms, and the third and fourth realms, had been completely slaughtered.

"With his current strength... he shouldn't be considered weak among the four realms."

Li Xian appeared calm and composed.

After killing the sea serpents blocking his way, he flew away and quickly entered the depths of the cave.

Some traces of construction can still be seen in this cave, but it seems that the arrival of sea serpents caused much damage.

Upon entering the mansion, after casually annihilating some sea serpents that weren't even powerful demons, the field of vision suddenly expanded.

A large hall filled with supplies came into his view.

"Crimson gold, snow silver, refined gold, Netherworld iron, Xuanming jade, blood coral, white dragon fish..."

Li Xian's gaze swept over the supplies one by one.

All kinds of treasures are available.

Although none of them are considered precious, with pure gold being a basic unit of exchange where one tael of pure gold is only equivalent to one unit of currency, their sheer quantity makes up for it.

All these miscellaneous materials, taken together, are probably worth no less than twenty or thirty million units of merit.
