Lightning Great Dao!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The Constellation Puppet charged wildly, and what was supposed to be a friendly exchange of Qi Refining Path turned into a chaotic scene when the Slovenly True Person suddenly unleashed his power, making him seem like an unparalleled expert who God-Devil Body Refining, about to rush forward and crush the Thousand Sword Puppet to death.
"So fierce right from the start?" Zhou Hao's eyes narrowed.
Whew~~~
Thousands of flying swords instantly transformed into blazing flames, turning the entire sealing formation into a world of fire.
Then, a massive flaming sword light met the charging Constellation Puppet and slashed down with a thunderous roar.
Boom! Boom! Boom!...
The blazing sword light clashed head-on with the four Turtle-Snake beasts of the Constellation Puppet, creating a violent clash of Origin Power that caused countless ripples to spread across the azure light barrier outside the sealing formation.
"The Dao of Blazing Fire?" With a thought, the Slovenly True Person caused the Turtle-Snake beasts formed from the iron spheres surrounding the Constellation Puppet to suddenly generate waves.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~~
The surging torrent pressed down on Zhou Hao's fiery sword light. The four Turtle-Snake beasts, as if suddenly alive, carried endless killing intent and were like four drills, reaching out to drill into the Thousand Sword Puppet shrouded in the fiery sword light.
The fiery sword light was about to strike the snake body formed from the iron ball, but it was extinguished by the water light outside the snake body. Without the power of the flames, the flying swords could not stop the four snake heads at all, except for colliding with the iron ball and splashing countless sparks.
At this moment, the hundreds of flying swords that had been submerged by the water suddenly emitted dense purple lightning. The purple lightning intertwined with the sword light and exploded with a roar, instantly breaking through the water surrounding the four-headed snake and severing it in two. The snake then transformed back into a round iron ball and quickly shrank back into the four-headed Turtle-Snake beast of the Constellation Puppet.
Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!
The Thousand Sword Puppet's thousand flying swords are half wreathed in Blazing Flame, as fierce as fire, and half entwined with purple lightning, meandering like a river.
One forceful and one yielding, one fire and one water, unexpectedly formed a gigantic Taiji Diagram out of thin air, not only keeping the Constellation Puppet fifty feet away, but also attempting to break through the four Turtle-Snake beasts protecting its body.
"Hahaha, that's exhilarating!" The Slovenly True Person sitting on another stone pillar laughed loudly. The four Turtle-Snake beasts suddenly swelled up, their shells slamming outwards, vaguely resembling a giant black tortoise about to use its strongest shell to smash open the shackles of heaven and earth.
"Bang!"
The Taiji Diagram diagram formed by a thousand flying swords shattered, and a thousand streams of light flew back to the Thousand Sword Puppet.
The four enormous Turtle-Snake beasts could no longer maintain their form and transformed into twenty-eight round iron beads, resembling twenty-eight stars, surrounding the Constellation Puppet.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The two puppets simultaneously leaped backward, increasing the distance between them from fifty feet to over three hundred feet, so that they faced each other from afar.
The raging torrents, endless flames, and boundless purple lightning within the sealing formation all dissipated, as if everything that had happened before was merely an illusion.
"That was satisfying, that was satisfying!" the Slovenly True Person laughed. "Seventy years have passed, Zhou Hao, you certainly haven't disappointed me!"
"Likewise." Zhou Hao smiled at him. "We've warmed up enough. Let's go for a drink after our sparring session."
The two men's attacks, though seemingly fierce, were actually a result of them simultaneously revealing the principles they had come to understand to each other.
Although equally dangerous, the attacks are mostly carried out by manipulating the power of heaven and earth, and the true secret techniques have not yet been fully utilized.
Now, the real test will begin.
"What!" The Huo Sheng, watching from afar, exclaimed in surprise. "This is just a warm-up? The two of them have already fully comprehended and mastered two Daos each, not to mention Tai Chi, Yin Yang..."
He originally thought that after more than ten years, the gap between himself and the Slovenly True Person should have narrowed, and he even planned to break through to the Primordial Spirit Daoist stage in the next few years.
After all, he had already fully comprehended and mastered a path of fire, so there was little point in him lingering at the Myriad Phenomena True Person realm.
But now, looking at the two people sparring on the field, not only have they mastered and comprehended more of the Dao than he has, but they have also gained a very deep understanding of that lofty 'Great Dao'.
This made Huo Sheng hesitate about his previous plans.
Hearing Senior Brother Huo Sheng's exclamation, Nine Lotus, who was standing nearby, also looked at the two people in the arena, especially Zhou Hao, whose eyes gleamed with wonder.
"They're too strong. Both the slovenly senior brother and the Changsheng immortal are too strong." Ji Ning's eyes widened in disbelief.
Previously, when he sparred with Senior Sister Yu Wei, he was completely defeated by Yu Wei's irresistible barrage of a thousand fiery sword lights.
However, the Blazing Flame light of the Changsheng at this moment, and the flames that seemed to sweep across the entire world, were ten or even a hundred times stronger than the blazing sword light of Yu Wei earlier.
"Senior Sister Yu Wei, the sword light of Changsheng seems to be much stronger than when you defeated Senior Brother Ji Ning." Mu Zishuo, shocked, voiced the thoughts churning in Ji Ning's mind.
"I haven't even fully grasped the Dao of Flame yet, while the Immortal of Changsheng has completely mastered it, and has even combined it with the Dao of Lightning, which he has completely mastered. Of course, he is stronger than me," Yu Wei said softly.
As for the deeper mysteries of the Great Dao, it was not appropriate to discuss them with fellow disciples who had not yet grasped them, so Yu Wei did not even mention them.
Even so, Ji Ning and Mu Zishuo were still speechless for a long time when they heard that the two people on the field had already revealed several profound mysteries of the Dao that they had completely mastered just by warming up.
"Is this the ultimate Myriad Phenomena True Person...?" After the initial shock, Ji Ning's fighting spirit surged, and his eyes burned with fervor. "I will definitely become like that in the future!"
Inside the sealed formation.
With a flick of his finger Slovenly True Person pointed into the distance.
Rumble~~~
The twenty-eight round iron beads transformed into the shape of a black tortoise and three underworld snakes in mid-air.
As the invisible power of heaven and earth converged, the forms of the Xuan Turtle and the Nether Serpent became increasingly solid, eventually appearing to possess restrained power and posing no threat whatsoever.
"Hmm?" Zhou Hao's expression changed slightly, "The Yin-Yang Great Dao!"
As soon as the black tortoise appeared, it enveloped the Constellation Puppet, as if the Constellation Puppet had become a living black tortoise.
As for the three Nether Serpents, their tails were connected to the Xuan Turtle. Each of the three serpent bodies was composed of seven round iron beads, which meandered and coiled in the air, exuding a terrifying aura.
In Zhou Hao's view, if the Xuan Turtle represents Yang, then the three Nether Serpents represent Yin.
Moreover, each of the three Nether Serpents seemed to contain different profound mysteries of the Way of Water, coiled together with the Black Tortoise, forming a perfect whole, deeply understanding the mysteries of the Yin-Yang Great Dao.
"Zhou Hao." The Slovenly True Person faced Zhou Hao from afar, "I'm more used to close combat and not very good at using magic weapons for ranged attacks. I think you're the same. However, this ' Turtle-Snake Combined Strike ' secret technique is the strongest power I can unleash with the Dao I've comprehended, so you'd better be careful."
"San Pang, go ahead and do your thing," Zhou Hao said solemnly.
Both of them inherited the Xuanwu Great Divine Ability, and they were indeed more inclined towards the Gods and Devils Body Refining Path.
Especially when Zhou Hao was in Jade Dragon City, almost none of his opponents were of the same level. He relied on the perfect divine body nurtured by the Chiming Nine Heavens Map and close combat techniques such as Taiji Fist and the Ou Huang Mace. When it came to Qi Refining Path manipulation and using magic weapons for ranged attacks, he used only the two secret techniques, the Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light Needle and the Heaven Escape Needle Art, the most.
The Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light Needle relies on the cold, Earth Fire, and metal evil energy nurtured within its body, which the Thousand Sword Puppet cannot activate.
To think that one could defeat a Slovenly True Person simply by controlling a flying sword using the ' Heaven Escape Needle Art ' is nothing short of Devoted Heart.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Three Nether Serpents roared in, one as cold as a blade, one as supple as a whip, and one as vast as a raging river. The twenty-one round iron beads within them resembled twenty-one enormous fists.
The immense, invisible pressure made Zhou Hao's heart tighten.
"Fortunately, in these three months, my Second Primordial Spirit has mastered two secret techniques." A flash of lightning seemed to appear in Zhou Hao's eyes as he unleashed the two newly mastered lightning-based secret techniques without hesitation.
His Asura God clone, nurtured by the thunderous life force of the Nine Thunder Cauldron for tens of thousands of years, cultivated the pure Yang technique <Divine Firmament Dao Scripture>. After exchanging for <Yin-Yang Thunder Astral Force> in the Dao Treasury Hall, he also received the secret technique <Purple Lightning Yin Thunder Blade> from the Liang Clan Ancestor, thus completely comprehending and mastering the Dao of Purple Lightning.
Moreover, these two secret techniques can also be used through flying swords. Combined with the ' Heaven Escape Needle Art ' and the Heaven and Earth Great Dao, this is the source of his confidence to discuss and exchange ideas with the Slovenly True Person.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!...
The thousands of flying swords below spread out completely, each sword seemingly becoming a purple electric snake, weaving a huge purple electric net in the air.
It is the ' Thunder Astral Lightning Net ' formed after the first major success of the Yin- Yin-Yang Thunder Astral Force.
"Boom!"
The three Nether Serpents and the Thunder Astral Lightning Net instantly clashed in mid-air.
The purple lightning and yin thunder transformed from countless flying swords flashed with extremely condensed sword light, frantically slashing towards the body of the Nether Serpent.
Not only that, but hundreds of purple lightning bolts also streaked through the void, heading straight for the Xuan Turtle that was wrapped around the Constellation Puppet.
"A lightning-based secret technique." The Slovenly True Person's expression changed, and he immediately used the 'Overlapping Waves' secret technique, which he had comprehended from the information inherited from the Xuanwu Great Divine Ability, without reservation.
Then, the battle rhythm suddenly changed between the black tortoise formed from the round iron ball and the three underworld snakes.
One moment the Xuan Turtle defends while the three Nether Serpents attack; the next, the Nether Serpents coil around while the Xuan Turtle bombards them.
Whether in defense or attack, the four strange beasts seemed to be constantly gathering strength. Later, the three Nether Serpents launched one fierce attack after another against the Thunder Astral Lightning Net that trapped them, like waves of tides growing ever stronger.
... Gathering strength... and then erupting!
When gathering momentum, it is like the most gentle and yielding flow of water in the world.
When it erupts, it resembles a raging torrent of the Milky Way flowing backwards.
At an eerie rhythm, the Thunder Astral Lightning Net formed by hundreds of flying swords suddenly began to tremble and become unstable.
"It's about to collapse."
The Five Mad Immortal in the corner took out their wine gourds, took a sip, and shook their heads, saying, "That little slovenly guy's Surging Wave Secret Technique even defeated Azure Sea last time. This kid named Zhou Hao is going to lose."
"It's not surprising that he lost," said the long-bearded old man. "Can't you sense the aura on his body? He's clearly a cultivator of the Gods and Devils Body Refining Path. His enlightenment level is already comparable to that of San Pang, a peerless prodigy."
Even the innocent child, radiating endless chill, nodded in agreement.
The Immortal Dian Cai watched from afar, especially when he looked at Zhou Hao. His gaze was filled with a chillingly firm fighting spirit, but there was not a trace of panic.
"It's too early to say who will win or lose," Immortal Dian Cai, shaking his head.
Sure enough, after the Thunder Astral Lightning Net was broken by the Slovenly True Person's Surging Wave Secret Technique, the countless flying swords transformed into streaks of lightning once again, like countless drops of water in a massive torrent, bombarding the Xuan Turtle and the three Nether Serpents.
The Slovenly True Person's unique Turtle-Snake Secret Technique, which originally possessed a distinctive combat rhythm, was instantly suppressed, leaving him only able to defend with all his might against the impact of countless electric snake flying swords.
"How could this be!"
"He can actually control a thousand flying swords at the same time, each one with its own unique mysteries?"
"The Droplet Great Dao, the Heaven and Earth Great Dao... Just how many Great Daos has this kid comprehended!?"
The Five Mad Immortal, the long-bearded old man, and the innocent child all suddenly changed color.
"The most crucial thing is his soul; his soul has already reached the Void Return level," the Immortal Dian Cai said softly. "But relying solely on a strong soul isn't enough to defeat San Pang..."
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The area above the debate venue within the sealed formation had now become a sea of purple lightning.
The Xuan Turtle and the Nether Serpent outside the Constellation Puppet had all retracted, their Yin and Yang merging and transforming, maintaining an impenetrable defense against the onslaught of the purple lightning torrent.
"Go! Go! Go!" Zhou Hao poured all his divine will into the thousand puppets, and the veins on his forehead were bulging, clearly showing that he had exhausted all his strength.
Slovenly True Person used the Surging Wave Secret Technique, he immediately realized that, at least in terms of mastery of this technique, San Pang was now far superior to him.
Moreover, this secret technique excels at defense and building up power for a sudden burst of attack. If it cannot be broken as quickly as possible, the one who will ultimately lose will be oneself.
"Not enough, not enough!" Zhou Hao stared at the Xuan Turtle Beast, which resembled an impregnable fortress amidst the torrent of purple lightning, with only one thought in his mind.
I want to be even stronger!
So what if we lack seventy years of insights?
So what if one's understanding of the Dao is slightly inferior?
I will break through all obstacles!
... In the Red Dust Immortal Mansion.
The Asura God's avatar, which had been secretly cultivating here, suddenly stood up and opened its eyes.
The lightning in his eyes was dazzling at this moment.
Wow!
Without using any Origin Power, the invisible power of heaven and earth gathered around him.
Rumble~~~~
Above the vast Red Lotus, streaks of lightning appeared out of thin air throughout the entire Red Dust Immortal Mansion.
At the very center of the thunder, the Asura God's avatar stood proudly, receiving the baptism of the endless thunder formed from the power of heaven and earth, as if bathing in the lightning.
An inexplicable aura began to descend.
That's the aura of the Great Dao!
That is the true meaning of the Lightning Great Dao!
At that moment, Zhou Hao felt as if he had become the embodiment of lightning!
... Dao Debate Hall.
"Boom!"
In Zhou Hao's soul, it was as if the first thunderclap of Pangu had created the world had exploded.
The thousand flying swords and thousand purple lightning snakes within the sealing formation felt closer to Zhou Hao than ever before.
That sense of closeness, that feeling of unbridled freedom, captivated him.
"Freeze!"
Zhou Hao suddenly shouted!
A thousand flying swords and a thousand purple lightning snakes instantly merged into a gigantic lightning dragon, charging towards the Constellation Puppet with overwhelming power.
"What! Another major road?"
"It's Lightning Great Dao!"
When did he have this epiphany?
Under the incredulous gazes of the four immortals from the Black-White Academy, the Slovenly True Person's Xuan Turtle beast, despite its best efforts to defend and deflect the force, was quickly shattered.
One by one, the round iron balls were blasted away.
The protective layer of the Constellation Puppet was also broken.
"Zhou Hao, you win!"
The entire Dao Debate Hall was completely silent.
Only the old man's loud shout echoed...
Sorry, something urgent came up at my hometown this afternoon, so I had to leave before finishing writing and didn't get back until tonight.
That's all for today. I'm too tired.
I didn't even get a break at noon. Sitting and typing all day, then driving for several hours, my cervical spine really can't take it anymore.
To be continued tomorrow.
