Traversing countless worlds from the primordial era

Chapter 45 Fire Dragon Boys, Each Displaying Their Skills

Lei Ming never considered compromising with the three major sects of Xi Kingdom. His establishment of the Pangu Sect was an experiment, hoping to use the systems of later generations to advance the cultivation civilization. If the Pangu Sect succeeds in this world, Lei Ming will establish a cultivation university in the prehistoric world to educate the human race when the time is right.

Lei Ming was well aware that, aside from internal factors, the most important external factor for the success or failure of a university in the future would be its reputation. A great reputation would attract more high-quality students and cultivate more talents, which in turn would bring the university even greater fame.

The initial establishment of the Pangu Sect caused a sensation, but that didn't mean others genuinely accepted it. Most of the rogue cultivators who came to Yunyin Mountain were there to take advantage of the situation and leave. To truly retain them and get them to contribute to the Pangu Sect's development, Lei Ming needed to establish his reputation.

In the current human realm, with the emergence of Nascent Soul cultivators, it is enough for them to run rampant. As long as Lei Ming can demonstrate the strength of a Nascent Soul cultivator, the Pangu Sect will have the foundation to stand firm.

Therefore, Lei Ming could not avoid the battle with the Nascent Soul stage monster from Xi Kingdom!

The old patriarch of the Ancient Sword Sect, who looked like a child, stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at Lei Ming.

"Young man, you have quite the nerve, daring to challenge my Ancient Sword Sect with your mere Core Formation stage!" Fire Dragon Child's voice was icy cold, devoid of any emotion.

Lei Ming looked at the Fire Dragon Child. The sword intent emanating from the other party soared to the sky, and the flying sword in his hand was also extraordinary. He was a formidable opponent.

"We cultivate between heaven and earth, seeking the path to immortality. If anyone obstructs our path, why not fight!" Lei Ming was full of fighting spirit.

"Very well, if you don't die, my Ancient Sword Sect will acknowledge you as the Pangu Sect!" Fire Dragon Child said with some admiration.

Lei Ming laughed heartily: "My Pangu Sect can stand tall in the cultivation world on its own, why do we need your recognition? Enough nonsense, let me see the skills of a sword cultivator."

With a flick of his finger, Lei Ming sent five streams of spiritual energy that transformed into five elemental beasts that pounced on the Fire Dragon Child. These five beasts were lifelike and powerful, each comparable to a late-stage Core Formation cultivator.

"What a powerful spell!" Fire Dragon Child was also somewhat surprised. He had seen advanced spells before, but rarely one this powerful.

Ordinary high-level spells are less powerful than magic weapons, so most cultivators give up spell cultivation after forming their core. However, this does not mean that high-level spells are not powerful. Fire Dragon Child knew that many high-level spells, once mastered, would make even Nascent Soul cultivators retreat in fear.

With a flick of his flying sword, Fire Dragon Boy unleashed countless streaks of red sword energy towards the Five Elements Spirit Beasts. Though the sword energy was as fine as silk, its power was extraordinary. Within a few breaths, the five spirit beasts conjured by Lei Ming's magic were slain by the sword energy.

Lei Ming's eyes lit up: "As expected of a sword cultivator, turning swords into threads, excellent!"

Lei Ming rapidly formed hand seals, instantly conjuring up a storm of five-colored clouds that coalesced into five illusory figures around him. Then, the five figures merged into one, and a colossal creature appeared between Lei Ming and the Fire Dragon Child.

Fire Dragon Boy's eyes gleamed with a strange light, and he couldn't help but marvel at the exquisite magic of Thunder.

A long, ancient sound spread in all directions. The Fire Dragon Boy saw that the five elements of spiritual energy had transformed into a five-colored true dragon more than a hundred meters long. The five-colored true dragon raised its head and roared, its head held high, looking down at the Fire Dragon Boy.

Upon seeing this, some of the cultivators below couldn't help but kneel on the ground and kowtow to the true dragon. The true dragon was a legendary being, born holy, and its innate divine power exerted a strong suppression on everyone.

However, skilled cultivators could see that the five-colored dragon was merely a magical illusion created by Lei Ming. It was just that his magic was too sophisticated for lower-level cultivators to discern.

"I never expected Brother Lei's Five Elements magic to have reached such a level. This five-colored true dragon is enough to rival a cultivator in the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm!" Han Li couldn't help but sigh. He had long since given up on cultivating magic.

The five-colored dragon tumbled in the air, then suddenly charged towards the Fire Dragon Boy. Its enormous claws slashed down from above, a truly earth-shattering blow. The Fire Dragon Boy raised an eyebrow, and his flying sword shot out. The five-colored dragon turned, its claws gripping the sword. A flash of light, and the sword passed through the claws, returning to the Fire Dragon Boy's hand.

The five-colored dragon coiled its body around the fire dragon boy, who then summoned a flying sword. The sword transformed into a lifelike crimson python, which bared its fangs and claws, engaging in a fierce battle with the five-colored dragon in the air. The dragon attacked relentlessly with its head, claws, and tail, while the python continuously spewed out sword energy. The sharp sword energy, in turn, suppressed the five-colored dragon.

Roar! The five-colored dragon, pierced through the heart by the sword energy, roared and vanished. The crimson python also dissipated, returning to the Fire Dragon Boy's hand and transforming back into a flying sword.

Lei Ming was somewhat disappointed when he saw the Five-Colored True Dragon disappear. This method of fusing the Five Elements spells was the culmination of his deduction of the Five Elements spells, and the power of the spells far exceeded that of ordinary magic treasures.

"If I hadn't failed to form my Nascent Soul, your magic weapon might not be as powerful as my spell," Lei Ming said.

Fire Dragon Boy snorted coldly. Although he admitted it in his heart, he wouldn't admit defeat verbally.

"If this is all you've got, the Pangu Sect wouldn't exist today," Fire Dragon Boy said coldly.

Lei Ming chuckled lightly: "This is just the beginning... Having witnessed my Five Elements magic, now you will witness my Five Elements Formation."

Five streams of light flew down from the mountain and landed beside Lei Ming. The One-Horned Silver Moon Dragon, the Golden Crowned Eagle, and others appeared. They were at the same level as Lei Ming, only a step away from the Nascent Soul stage.

The five elemental beasts, with their combined power, are no less than those at the Nascent Soul stage.

"Five Elements Grand Formation, activate!" Lei Ming waved his hand and five array flags flew out. Each spirit beast swallowed one flag, and they each occupied their respective positions. In an instant, the formation was complete.

The Fire Dragon Child remained expressionless as a thin, hair-like sword aura shot out, but the Five Elements Formation activated, engulfing the sword aura.

Fire Dragon Boy didn't believe it and tried several more times. No matter how powerful his sword energy was, it would be instantly obliterated when it fell into the Five Elements Formation.

"Good!" Fire Dragon Boy was not discouraged, but rather excited. His flying sword hovered in front of him, and he exhaled a breath of essence into it, causing it to emit a dazzling light. Fire Dragon Boy grabbed the flying sword, and his entire being merged with it, transforming into an ancient giant sword over a hundred meters long.

The unity of man and sword is a higher realm than the transformation of sword energy into silk.

The giant sword struck the Five Elements Formation, and the spiritual energy of the five elements circulated, deflecting the terrifying force. The giant sword paused briefly, then transformed into a stream of light and landed on the Five Elements Formation again. The five spirit beasts and the formation flags trembled, and the formation's operation slowed down.

"Five Elements Grand Formation, rotate!"

Lei Ming channeled his magic power into the array flags, and the five elements of spiritual energy circulated once more, dissipating the power of the giant sword.

"Your Five Elements Grand Formation has truly broadened my horizons. You managed to block my flying sword with just five seventh-tier spirit beasts. I admire you!" The voice of the Fire Dragon Child came from the giant sword.

"However, the Ancient Sword Sect is renowned for its swordsmanship, and this reputation is well-deserved. You are welcome to witness the swordsmanship of the Ancient Sword Sect!"

After the Fire Dragon Boy finished speaking, the giant sword split into two, then into four, then into eight, and the eight giant swords soared into the air.

"Go!" Fire Dragon Boy shouted, and seven giant swords fell towards the Five Elements Formation. Lei Ming personally presided over the formation, and a five-colored light shield blocked the giant swords. But it wasn't over yet. The last giant sword pierced through the air, and the five-colored light shield vanished in an instant, shattering with a crash.

The Fire Dragon Child broke the Five Elements Formation and continued to descend towards Lei Ming. Lei Ming waved his hand to put away the Five Elements Formation Flags and the Five Elements Spirit Beasts, but he felt somewhat disappointed.

"My understanding of the Five Elements Formation is not yet perfect. Otherwise, even if the opponent's attack is comparable to the mid-stage Nascent Soul, it wouldn't be so easy to break the formation."

Thinking this, the giant sword was already in front of Lei Ming. The Fire Dragon Child was determined to kill Lei Ming. Lei Ming was only in the late stage of Core Formation, but he already had strength comparable to Nascent Soul cultivators. Once he reached Nascent Soul stage, the Ancient Sword Sect would face annihilation.

"stop!"

Seeing that Lei Ming was no match for the Fire Dragon Boy, Han Li couldn't help but intervene. Seventy-two flying swords transformed into wisps of golden light and flew towards the Fire Dragon Boy. These flying swords were all made of Golden Thunder Bamboo and possessed their own warding-off divine thunder, making them extremely powerful.

The Fire Dragon Child's divine sense was inferior to Han Li's, who had cultivated the Great Evolution Technique, and he failed to detect him. When Han Li suddenly appeared, the Fire Dragon Child was greatly surprised, and his attack speed slowed down.

"Brother Han, please sit down for a moment. I'll take care of him." Surprisingly, Lei Ming dissuaded Han Li.
