The Best Sparring Partner

Ji Dai and Li Shi'an were drinking tea in a Tea Pavilion nestled among the Mountain Peaks of North Spring Mountain.

Suddenly, I felt a flash of white light, as if a Qingfeng had swept by, and then the surrounding scenery changed.

"Old Ji, do you see a dragon over there? Am I seeing things?" Li Shi'an pointed and said.

Even though they were hundreds of miles apart, Ji Dai, who was at the Divine Platform Realm, could still see the Dragon Demon Ancestor hiding in the dark Dark Clouds. His body was so enormous that people looked like ants in front of him.

He swallowed hard and said, "You're not mistaken, that really is a dragon."

Li Shi'an looked around. "We should still be on North Spring Mountain, right? But the scenery in the distance seems like a completely different world."

Both of them stood up and looked at the land at the foot of the mountain, which looked like it had been scorched by fire, the towering trees that were dozens of feet high in the distance, and the occasional frantically fleeing Demon Beast that were several feet in size.

I was momentarily stunned.

Ji Dai's gaze finally settled on Gu Yuanqing atop the main peak, and he said, "Perhaps only Young Master Gu can answer all of this."

People and animals in the Mountain were somewhat panicked; the sudden change in the Heaven and Earth would make anyone uneasy.

The only person who seemed unaffected was Aunt Feng, who had always lived on the main peak and had been to the Demon Realm before, so she was naturally used to it.

Gu Yuanqing glanced down and activated his Object Control Power once more. Except for the main peak, the rest of North Spring Mountain returned to the Floating World.

"Don't be impatient!" Gu Yuanqing said softly, his voice echoing throughout North Spring Mountain.

Upon hearing this, the people in the Mountain immediately calmed down, as it was quite common for unusual phenomena to occur in North Spring Mountain.

Gu Yuanqing lightly tapped his finger, Formless Calamity Finger was unleashed once more.

This Spell Art is one of the ultimate moves in the Formless Heart Sutra. It can be performed in North Spring Mountain with the help of the Object Control Art and the Heavenly Fishing Method. It requires almost no mental effort. Originally, it required the use of Divine Sense to cause subtle changes in the Dao Resonance. However, Object Control Art, the Dao Resonance could follow with just a thought.

Sensing something amiss, the Dragon Demon Ancestor swiftly retreated.

But the finger still appeared in front of it.

The Heavenly Angling Technique is Spatial Method, making it difficult to avoid.

Its Boundary Domain expanded, using the Heavenly Human Realm to resist the finger force. The Heavenly Human Realm was immediately torn apart, but the power of the Formless Calamity Finger was greatly weakened.

The Runes on its Scales emitted light, Runes were quickly worn away, and tiny cracks appeared on the Scales, only to be restored to their original state in an instant.

Under the power of the Yin-Yang Realm, the Physical Body's recovery speed reached an incomprehensible level.

"The same trick won't work against me!"

The Dragon Demon Ancestor's voice was deep and resonant. Behind him, dark Dark Clouds once again enveloped North Spring Mountain, and billions of Lightning struck down. Raindrops fell, each one weighing over a thousand pounds, crashing down on North Spring Mountain's protective barrier like cannonballs.

Clouds follow dragons, winds follow tigers; controlling clouds and water is an innate talent of the Demonic Dragon race, requiring almost no effort. It intends to use this to wear down Gu Yuanqing's power.

Gu Yuanqing chuckled, "Is that so?"

As he spoke, he flicked his fingers repeatedly, and Formless Calamity Finger landed on the side of the Dragon Demon Ancestor. Under the vortexes of collapsing Dao Resonance, the Runes on the Dragon Demon Ancestor's Scales were constantly being worn away, but in the blink of an eye, the worn-away Runes would reappear.

"I told you, this is useless!"

The Dragon Roar's roar resounded once more, and the Dark Clouds North Spring Peak moved rapidly, eventually forming Vortex. Thousands of Thunderclap transformed into a three-zhang-thick Thunderclap that roared down, and upon landing, it transformed into a long spear that plunged into the air.

Even Gu Yuanqing wouldn't dare to withstand the power of this Thunderclap, which was concentrated to its limit, with North Spring Mountain.

With a flick of his Sword Art, the Demon Subduing Sword soared into the sky, instantly transforming into thousands of Flying Sword that formed Grand Formation, heading towards the spear formed from Thunderclap.

Boom!

The two weapons clashed, and the sky was once again enveloped in a blinding white light.

The Demon Subduing Sword's inherent quality came into play at this moment. As a weapon at the Peak of the Heavenly Human Realm, it shattered the Thunder Thunderclap Empowerment the help of the power of North Spring Mountain.

Countless Lightning scattered in a chain, but under the control of the Dragon Demon Ancestor, they all fell on North Spring Mountain.

However, the scattered power vanished before it even penetrated three zhang into the North Spring Mountain domain.

However, the Demon Subduing Sword fell from mid-air, as Gu Yuanqing's Divine Sense was obliterated by the power of Thunderclap.

But after falling ten feet, it was immediately taken over again.

The Heavenly Angling Technique was activated, Demon Subduing Sword suddenly disappeared from the sky, finally appearing less than a hundred feet away from the Dragon Demon Ancestor. It quickly grew larger and transformed into Sword Formation, enveloping the Dragon Demon Ancestor.

The Dragon Demon Ancestor snorted softly and reached out with its claws to Demon Subduing Sword.

Even though the Demon Subduing Sword manifests in countless forms and constantly changes among them, its dragon claws always follow, and its dragon eyes seem to be able to see through some illusions.

Clang!

The Demon Subduing Sword shot back; the dragon's body possessed immense power, and upon impact, the Demon Subduing Sword Formation was directly shattered.

However, the Dragon Demon Ancestor changed slightly. It looked at its claws, which had been tempered for countless years and had clashed head-on with any Law Treasure weapon in the Dragon Demon Domain, but they had shattered.

The Demonic Dragon race never forges magical Law Treasure or weapons, because their Scales are the best armor and their claws are the best weapons.

But today, it has been shattered one after another.

At the same time, the Sword Qi pierced his finger, and drops of blood fell.

The drop of blood had eroded its will and Spirituality, making it impossible to retrieve. It immediately realized that this sword was no ordinary weapon; if it were to be struck in a vital spot by this sword, it would be in danger of perishing.

It reached out with its claws to grab the out-of-control Demon Subduing Sword.

But Gu Yuanqing would not do as he wished. He flicked his fingers repeatedly, unleashing a series of Formless Calamity Finger.

He then transformed his fingers into a palm, unleashing a powerful strike that combined the Void Hand Seal of the Lingxu Sect and the Myriad Manifestations Senluo Palm of the Myriad Manifestations Sect.

A gigantic palm descended upon the Dragon Demon Ancestor, with the North Spring Mountain Phantom appearing above it. The Suppression Intent caused the Dragon Demon Ancestor's Demonic Essence to freeze for a moment.

In that instant, more than a dozen Formless Calamity Finger powers erupted, distributing to various parts of the Dragon Demon Ancestor's body.

In an instant, the Dragon Demon Ancestor let out a muffled groan, and large Scales and flesh vanished.

At the same time, Palm Seal landed on his body.

Bang!

The enormous dragon body that had been standing in the Void suddenly fell nearly a hundred feet.

With a roar, its Dragon Roar rose from a low crescendo to a high pitch, and a burst of Dragon Breath was released, instantly dissipating the Palm Seal and the North Spring Mountain Phantom.

Gu Yuanqing chuckled and unleashed another Formless Calamity Finger Technique.

Moreover, he constantly adjusted the application of this unique skill, incorporating the traces of Yin and Yin-Yang Dao he had seen and comprehended into it.

The Yin-Yang Dao permeate all things. For example, fire has Li Fire and Bing Fire, wood has Jia Wood and Yi Wood, and water has Kui Water and Ren Water. The difference between them lies in Yin-Yang.

The interplay of Yin-Yang is unpredictable, and the most difficult aspect to master is controlling the heat.

The Formless Calamity Finger is the power generated by the interplay or annihilation of various Dao Resonance, with the Yin-Yang Dao being particularly important in it.

Even if one comprehends it on a regular basis, it is difficult to grasp the differences under different heat levels, since this power erupts too quickly and is difficult to measure without a reference point.

But today, the Dragon Demon Ancestor can withstand this technique head-on. Its effect and strength can be discerned at a glance from the result, making him the perfect sparring partner. How could Gu Yuanqing miss such an opportunity?
