Immortal Calamity
At that moment, Chen Lingxi stepped forward.
A dazzling bolt of lightning suddenly shone from his body.
He reached out and pulled a thunder sword from Void surging pale golden lightning.
The sword was constructed entirely of extremely pure Unfinished Thunder, its blade covered with dense thunder patterns, and a domineering thunderous aura emanated from it as it flowed.
At the same time, the Dragon-Stripping Dao Platform began to spin wildly!
The Thunder Thunder-Prison Profound Root on the Dao Platform suddenly trembled.
An indescribable, boundless power of thunder erupted from that Profound Root.
The lightning swirled around him, then transformed into countless rays of light that spread out into the Void.
Thunder Prison!
At this moment, Thunder-Prison Heaven Divine Ability was pushed to its limit.
Where the lightning passed, the entire area within a hundred miles was transformed into a pure inferno of thunder.
The sky was dyed a fiery gold, and the surrounding mountains were scorched with streaks!
Yu Jiangwei's pupils suddenly contracted as she used her Divine Sense to observe the area!
She clearly sensed that the Thunder Prison Divine Ability that Chen Lingxi unleashed was the Thunder-Prison Heaven Divine Ability, which was famous Great Xuanzhuo Realm!
This great Divine Ability Thunder Pool Cultivator, is used most frequently.
However, the thunderous Daoist aura contained within that Thunder Prison was completely different from Thunder Pool Thunder-Prison Heaven cultivator she had ever seen before.
That thunder was more primal, more domineering, and more violent.
"Great Radiance Supreme Jade Dao, Thunder-Prison Heaven," she murmured to herself.
A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the Golden-Crowned Demon Lord, who was hidden in the Void: "This is Killing Power Great Art!"
The Thunder-Prison Heaven Divine Ability is recognized as one of the most difficult to cultivate and the most powerful in terms of Killing Power among the many great divine Divine Ability in the Thunder Pool.
Even with the careful guidance of their masters and the assistance of the thunderous essence of the Thunder Pool Secret Realm, ordinary disciples of the Thunder Pool still need to spend decades or even centuries to cultivate the Thunder-Prison Heaven to the minor completion stage.
"This Chen Lingxi has neither a master nor any foundation, yet he has already mastered such a difficult-to-cultivate great Divine Ability after only just stepping into the Dao Foundation Realm?"
In the far distance, Liu Chengfeng, who was wounded and in hiding, frowned even more deeply.
As a sword cultivator, his perception of Killing Power Great Art was far more acute than that of ordinary cultivators.
He clearly sensed that the thunderous aura emanating from Chen Lingxi was the purest form of killing intent.
That is the True Intention thunder, which abandons everything and pursues only the ultimate Killing Power.
Chen Lingxi opened her eyes amidst the surging pale golden lightning.
Two balls of lightning burned wildly in his eyes, and countless fine lightning patterns flowed deep within his pupils.
The Dao Origin within his body surged wildly like a river within the Thunder Prison, Dao Origin circulation drawing upon the surrounding lightning.
Thunder accompanied his every breath; thunder accompanied the flow of his Dao Origin.
At this moment, within this Thunder Prison, Chen Lingxi seemed to transform into the thunder itself.
He stood in the very center of the sky filled with thunder, like a lord of Thunder Prison emerging from the ancient Thunder Pool!
It is completely different from the profound and wondrous nature of ordinary Dao Foundation Grand Divine Ability.
When Thunder-Prison Heaven first formed his Profound Root, he had almost no profound Daoist blessings, no transformative power from the teachings of immortals, and no unfathomable Mystery Mechanism of Dao Substitute Body.
There is only one thing.
That is the purest power of thunderous destruction. Under the shroud of Thunder Prison, nothing can withstand the thunder's destructive force!
This Thunder Prison Great Divine Ability, having just formed its Profound Root, is already capable of breaking through all laws with a single force!
A true master of lightning must use thunder to shatter everything!
What immortals preaching the Dao, what profound truths of the Dao—all must shatter and fall silent before this purest thunderous slaughter.
One force can overcome ten techniques; one thunderbolt can break ten thousand laws.
This is the Great Radiance Supreme Jade Dao, this is the Thunder-Prison Heaven.
Chen Lingxi unleashed the Thunder Prison and raised his hand to strike with his sword!
The sword, constructed from the Unfinished Thunder, transformed into a dazzling sword light that pierced the sky!
Thunder-Wielding Heavenly King Sword!
As soon as the sword was unleashed, the surging pale golden lightning seemed to be summoned, frantically converging towards the sword light.
The sword light, which was originally only about ten feet long, suddenly grew to a hundred feet in length.
The sword light was covered with dense lightning patterns, and as it flowed, a deafening thunderous sound exploded.
At the same time, he pushed the Thunder-Hiding Sword Canon to its limit.
Then, Twelve Heavenly Drum Peals resounded!
Each deafening thunderclap sounded as if a god were beating a heavenly drum, each one stronger and faster than the last.
The thunderous sound, superimposed on the sword's momentum, made the already incomparably sharp sword light even more domineering and fierce.
Bai Lingze's powerful Expounding-Sound Profound Radiance struck Chen Lingxi's Thunder Prison first.
The celestial voice, which claimed to be able to enlighten all beings, abruptly stopped the moment it touched the sky full of lightning.
The sound waves that had been surging in layers upon layers, overwhelming everything, seemed to have collided with an invisible barrier of thunder, and were frozen in Void.
After a stalemate lasting about half a breath, the outer layer of the Expounding-Sound Profound Radiance began to disintegrate and dissipate at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The profound truths contained in the immortal's sermons were like ice and snow being boiled in a furnace, evaporated into nothingness piece by piece before the purest thunderous slaughter.
Instead of retreating, Chen Lingxi advanced, stepping into the very center of the Thunder Prison, and unleashed another thunderous strike with his sword.
With each sword strike, the lightning within the Thunder Prison intensified, and the sword light became more domineering.
The Expounding-Sound Profound Radiance vanished even faster.
Thunderclap Sword Light burst forth in the Void, and Chen Lingxi's Expounding-Sound Profound Radiance light.
Lightning surged within the rift, completely blocking Bai Lingze's celestial preaching sound waves, preventing them from advancing even an inch further.
Bai Lingze frowned, but remained calm.
With a flick of his sleeve Immortal-Expounding Wondrous Fruit hanging behind him suddenly shone with an even more dazzling light.
Where the light fell, the cracks that Chen Lingxi had slashed in the Expounding-Sound Profound Radiance miraculously healed themselves.
Like water that had been cut off, it gathered again and once more surged forth with overwhelming force, pressing down on the Thunder Prison.
At the same time, the hundreds of Spirit-Treasure Bamboo Arrows had reached within a hundred feet of Chen Lingxi.
Bamboo arrows rained down, densely packed and overwhelming.
Each bamboo arrow possesses terrifying penetrating power.
Chen Lingxi snorted coldly, and suddenly clenched his left hand in the Void, forcefully activating the Heaven-Seizing Seal technique!
The surging thunderous Dao Origin within the Thunder Prison converged wildly into his palm like rivers flowing into the sea, instantly transforming into a gigantic handprint a hundred feet in diameter.
The handprint, crackling with lightning and brimming with murderous intent, struck directly at the countless bamboo arrows raining down upon it.
With the blessing of Thunder Prison, even ordinary Divine Ability possess extraordinary power, not to mention that Chen Lingxi has already cultivated the Heaven-Seizing Seal Divine Ability to the Mystic Realm!
Rumble!
Lightning and azure light exploded, and the Hundred-Foot Heaven-Seizing Seal knocked all the bamboo arrows off course.
The bamboo arrows shot off in all directions, creating a series of earth-shattering noises as they struck the jagged rocks on the Ancestral Mountain, but none of them could get within a hundred feet of Chen Lingxi.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Lingxi his Longevity Bridge Divine Ability with a thunderous crash.
The light cluster formed by the Profound-Caging Art crumbled inch by inch under the impact of the thunderous Dao Origin, turning into a sky full of light and dissipating into the Void.
Bai Lingze finally frowned.
He launched three attacks in a row...
The Expounding-Sound Profound Radiance, the Profound-Caging Art, and the Spirit-Treasure Bamboo Arrows were all shattered by this person so decisively and cleanly.
But others were unaware.
At this moment, the Dao Origin engraved with Bai Lingze's name on the Enemy-Slaying Spirit Jade was circulating wildly around Chen Lingxi. With the support of the Cauldron Vessel's great power, the power of Thunder-Prison Heaven surged.
The lightning bolts seemed to come alive, automatically flowing towards the weakest point in Bai Lingze's Divine Ability.
Chen Lingxi stood in the center of the Thunder Prison, and the lightning was under his control as if it were his own arm.
Bai Lingze's expression had become extremely solemn.
His hands moved rapidly, and a series of mysterious hand seals flew from his fingertips like a torrential rain, disappearing into the illusory figure of the immortal.
At that moment, the illusory figure of the immortal suddenly opened its eyes.
Those eyes were empty and devoid of substance, yet they possessed an awe-inspiring majesty that suppressed all ages.
The phantom opened its mouth, and an even more magnificent and powerful Expounding-Sound Profound Radiance burst forth, more condensed and domineering than before.
At the same time, Bai Lingze unleashed several more Divine Ability techniques!
A massive jade seal, hundreds of feet in diameter, descended from the sky, carrying terrifying power to suppress all things, and crashed down on Chen Lingxi. This was the Que Star Divine Ability [Quechen Grand Seal]!
Then, the illusory figure of an immortal suddenly began to chant, and the song transformed into countless invisible sound waves that wrapped around Chen Lingxi from the Void.
Those threads, though seemingly delicate, actually contain an extremely domineering binding force, specifically designed to lock the flow of Dao Origin within a cultivator's body. This is the profound and mysterious technique of the Inner Immortal Mystery Mechanism Immortal-Expounding Dao Grand Divine Ability [Qi-Illuminating Song].
Strange runes appeared out of Void and swept towards Chen Lingxi.
The flowing runes actually slowed down Chen Lingxi's Dao Origin circulation.
This is the [Fate-Seating Method]!
Bai Lingze unleashed his full power and Divine Ability, intending to use this overwhelming force to completely suppress Chen Lingxi.
However, the Thunder Prison spread across the sky like a thunder fortress standing in the Void, remaining unmoved no matter how fiercely it was bombarded.
The Quechen Grand Seal slammed into the Thunder Prison, and the surging lightning obliterated all the runes on the seal.
Qi-Illuminating Song touched the Thunder Prison, they were burned into nothingness by the purest thunderous Killing Power.
Although the runes of the Fate-Seating Method could impede the flow of Dao Origin, the Unfinished Thunder nurtured within the Thunder-Prison Profound Root was too domineering. The strange runes only lasted for less than half a breath within that Dao Origin before being completely devoured by the thunder.
Bai Lingze stood atop the illusory immortal figure, looking down at the black-clad figure still standing in the center of the Thunder Prison.
This person was able to fight him head-on without being at a disadvantage; his profound knowledge and domineering Killing Power far exceeded his expectations.
This was no longer the ant he had chased relentlessly through the Nanche Prefectural City.
Bai Lingze remained silent for a moment. Suddenly, the rhythm of the Dao Origin flowing around his body changed abruptly.
He lowered his head, glanced at Chen Lingxi, and slowly said, "It seems that ordinary methods are no longer effective against you."
His tone remained calm, as if everything was still under his control.
He then brought his hands together in front of him, and with a few quick flicks of his fingers, he formed an extremely complex hand seal.
The illusory figure of the immortal, who had been sitting cross-legged, slowly stood up at this moment, causing the entire Ancestral Mountain to tremble violently.
Countless stars flickered faintly in the Void, exhaling ancient Daoist energy that sent shivers down one's spine.
Bai Lingze stood atop the immortal's head, the Xianchan Dao aura emanating from him reaching its peak.
He was like a true enlightened immortal, surrounded by endless, profound Mystic Light of preaching, dazzling and unbearable to behold.
"Chen Lingxi," he said softly, his tone tinged with emotion, "To force me to sacrifice my own Dao Origin essence to this immortal avatar, you have every reason to be proud."
Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly opened his arms wide.
At that moment, the illusory immortal figure behind him opened its mouth and spoke.
Chen Lingxi felt waves of indescribable, mysterious power surging towards her Consciousness Sea.
Upon hearing these many sermons, Chen Lingxi suddenly had many insights, as if his Profound Root Tree-Formation Realm and bear fruit in the next moment!
Then, he heard Bai Lingze's voice.
The sound was extremely ethereal, as if it came from the far, far away horizon.
But the profound Daoist charm contained in that voice made Chen Lingxi want to succumb to it involuntarily!
"The Dao Fruit is here; you only need to reach out and pluck it... Chen Lingxi, I will preach the Dao to you; can you attain the Dao?" The voice echoed in his Consciousness Sea, its lingering sound lingering for a long time.
At that moment, the Dragon-Stripping Dao Platform spun wildly, and ancient lightning runes surged from the Profound Root, transforming into an invisible barrier that firmly protected his Consciousness Sea and physical body.
The immortal's preaching voice then receded like the tide.
Chen Lingxi suddenly opened her eyes.
He raised his head and looked at Bai Lingze, who was standing on the top of the immortal's head, and suddenly grinned.
"The immortal preached to me, but it is not in accordance with my own path. Your path, Bai Lingze, is unworthy of me."
The instant he finished speaking, Chen Lingxi raised his right hand, index finger pointing to the Heavenward Realm, like a pillar of lightning reaching the heavens.
On the tip of his index finger, the surging thunder of the Thunder-Prison Heaven had been compressed to its limit, transforming into a drop of pale golden thunder liquid no bigger than a grain of rice.
Although the liquid lightning was only the size of a grain of rice, the Killing Power of thunder contained within it had been condensed to an extremely terrifying level.
He stepped forward and gently pointed his finger in the direction of Bai Lingze.
Palace-Knocking Finger!
With Thunder-Prison Heaven again!
The rice-grain-sized jet of lightning shot out like a thunderous comet shooting against the sky, carrying terrifying, world-destroying power, and crashed into the illusory figure of the immortal.
Where the lightning passed, the Void collapsed, and the power of thunder spread out, burning all the Mystic Light surrounding the immortal phantom into nothingness.
The celestial voice that could originally enlighten all things shattered instantly before this purest form of thunderous destruction!
Bai Lingze's pupils suddenly contracted!
Before he could think further, the illusory immortal beneath his feet raised his palms, which, enveloped in boundless Expounding-Sound Profound Radiance, slammed fiercely towards the bolt of lightning liquid.
This palm strike contained the full power of Bai Lingze's Dao Origin sacrifice to the immortal. Even Dao Foundation Realm cultivator of the same realm would be shaken and have their Profound Root damaged if they were to directly confront Dao Platform.
A palm and a finger collided with a deafening roar in the Void.
A burst of blazing white light and a flash of lightning exploded where the immortal's illusory palms collided with the Xuan Yin Thunder Liquid.
All sounds vanished at that moment, and all things in the world fell silent. Only the silently expanding light illuminated the entire Ancestral Mountain in a dazzling, blazing white!
When the light faded, the sky above the Ancestral Mountain was a scene of utter devastation.
The towering immortal phantom, hundreds of feet tall, had its palms pierced by Chen Lingxi Palace-Knocking Finger, and its massive body was sent flying countless miles by that single strike.
His Mystic Light had dimmed considerably, and the aura of Xianchan Dao of the Dao emanating from his body had also weakened.
Chen Lingxi was not faring much better; his dark robes were covered with scorch marks from the Mystic Light.
But his eyes still shone with an astonishing light.
Bai Lingze looked at the disheveled Chen Lingxi, a cold smile flashing in his eyes.
"Having just formed your Profound Root, you will surely be at a disadvantage in this battle."
With a swift movement, he transformed into a streak of jade-colored light and rushed towards him.
That fair, jade-like hand, carrying terrifying power to suppress all things, viciously grabbed at Chen Lingxi's head.
This palm strike was meant to rip Chen Lingxi's head off!
The two bolts of lightning in Chen Lingxi's eyes suddenly blazed wildly.
He raised his right hand, his index and middle fingers joined together like a sword.
The thunderous sound of the Twelve Heavenly Drum Peals flickered at his fingertips, and one earth-shattering thunderous sound after another was as if a god was beating the heavenly drum, layer upon layer, turning into an invisible chain of sound waves that completely locked the Void around Bai Lingze.
This sword strike was not intended for killing, but for trapping the enemy.
"Achieve Profound Root, wield power over the Thunder-Prison Heaven, refine the Unfinished Thunder, and create Mystery Mechanism techniques."
"I'm also curious about just how powerful this spell truly is!"
Chen Lingxi's thoughts were racing!
At this moment, Thunder-Prison Heaven contracted wildly, and the lightning that originally covered an area of a hundred miles was compressed to its limit in an instant.
All the lightning bolts converged in a space about ten feet in front of him, transforming into Thunder Pool only a few feet square!
[Thunder-Prison Heaven Immortal-Execution Thunder Pool]!
But then they saw the Immortal Pivot thunder within the Storm Immortal Pivot churning within the Immortal-Calamity Thunder Pool.
A chilling killing intent that penetrated to the bone spread outwards.
The intensity of that killing intent was so great that even Bai Lingze's pupils involuntarily contracted.
All around were flashes of sword light. Bai Lingze had already gone all in and was charging at Chen Lingxi, leaving him no way to escape!
Thus, Bai Lingze's powerful Divine Ability clashed with the Immortal-Execution Thunder!
In an instant!
The spiritual light emanating from Bai Lingze vanished the instant he touched the Immortal-Calamity Thunder Pool.
The next instant, Chen Lingxi crashed into Bai Lingze's arms like a human lightning bolt.
The Immortal-Calamity Thunder Pool moved with his movements as if it were alive, enveloping Bai Lingze entirely in a terrifying murderous intent.
Lightning surged and Dao Origin collided, and the majestic immortal phantom shattered one after another under the erosion of the lightning.
In his haste, Bai Lingze tried to activate the Jade Platform Seal to protect himself, but the Immortal Strike Lightning was so domineering that the illusory image of the Jade Platform was dissolved as soon as it appeared.
The Immortal Preaching Profound Radiance, grew increasingly thin and dim.
His handsome, jade-like face was filled with disbelief and horror.
At this moment, Chen Lingxi was like the Lord of Thunder Prison, terrifying beyond measure.
He was surrounded by celestial lightning, and his eyes, burning with lightning, were like a blazing sun, looking down at Bai Lingze.
The Divine Hymn that Bai Lingze heard were reduced to chaotic noise in the face of Thunder-Prison Heaven Thunder-Sound, devoid of any mystery whatsoever.
The illusory image of the immortal was burned into nothingness inch by inch. A wisp of pale golden essence of his incarnation spilled from the corner of his mouth, and the profound and vast Xianchan Dao around him had withered to the extreme.
Bai Lingze raised his head, and his handsome, jade-like face was now devoid of any composure or arrogance.
He was Dao Foundation Realm genius from the Yutai Bai Family, an incarnation of Bai Lingze, a Dao Foundation Grand Completion cultivator, yet he was defeated by a native of the Weiji Grotto-Heaven.
Bai Lingze took a deep breath, watching Chen Lingxi approach step by step, the chilling killing intent emanating from her completely locking onto him.
He suddenly gritted his teeth, and his body jolted violently!
Then, his already tattered avatar began to disintegrate on its own, and within it, his Divine Sense transformed into a bolt of lightning, flashing with brilliance.
Chen Lingxi frowned and subconsciously took half a step back.
Bai Lingze was actually sacrificing all the remaining Dao Origin of this avatar in exchange for that one and only chance to escape.
The avatar transformed into a jade-colored streak of light, soaring into the sky at an incredible speed and fleeing madly towards the distant horizon.
The flowing light contained extremely pure Immortal Dao essence, like a jade sword rising against the sky, cutting a long rift in the sea of clouds above the heavens.
The Void was utterly silent.
Yu Jiangwei- legged on the spirit pearl, remained silent for a long time, and finally slowly shook her head.
Zhao Duanxuan stood beneath the Gold-Suppressing Tripod, and for a moment, he fell silent.
In the vast Void, Chen Lingxi stepped on the still-dissipating lightning, glanced in the direction where Bai Lingze had fled, and then flicked his finger!
P. S.: Only one chapter today. I'll be changing the map soon. The author will refine the outline and make the map change smoother.
