" Severing the Dao has actually appeared."
He crushed a piece of divine jade, and instantly, a vast holy might descended. The divine jade shattered, and a figure of dark light descended into this world, transforming into an old man dressed in black robes with blood-red hair flying everywhere.
"What happened? Li Ming, you..."
The blood-haired old man finally came to his senses, his crimson eyes noticing the phoenix hidden in the Void.
"You beast!"
His body surged with divine power, and terrifying holy chains stretched out. He raised his hand and unleashed a Primordial Chaos Holy Light Art. In an instant, the world changed color, and the Lightning Phoenix Bird was sent flying with a single blow. Its enormous body crashed into five mountains before finally stopping.
"Ancestor!"
Having broken free of the Divine Chains of Severing the Dao, Li Ming flew weakly to the side of the blood-haired elder, his face showing some shame.
" The Lightning Phoenix Bird is about to break through Severing the Dao Heavenly Barrier of the Dao, and its phoenix blood concentration is extremely high. These are two astonishing divine birds."
The blood-haired elder stared intently at the two Lightning Phoenix Bird Lightning Phoenix Bird in the mountains, especially the latter. Its powerful aura and pure bloodline surprised him. His crimson eyes were fixed on the phoenix blood that had fallen from the latter.
"It hasn't even broken through the Dao of Immortal Three yet, how is that possible?"
Li Ming was somewhat petrified; the being who had severely injured him with a single blow was actually at the Peak of Immortal Platform Second Heaven.
"It has already mastered the Severing the Dao Divine Chains and could break through the Immortal Three at any moment. It is no longer an ordinary Immortal Two Demon King. Even ordinary Severing the Dao are no match for it, let alone you!"
The blood-haired elder took a step forward, and the chains of Saint Dao Laws scattered, causing the Void to swirl. In an instant, he appeared beside the Lightning Phoenix Bird, his hands radiating holy light as he unleashed another Primordial Chaos Holy Light Art.
The phoenixes, rising anew, roared and took flight in unison, just like two True Phoenix, their bodies shrouded in crimson light, standing beneath the Eternal divine radiance.
The terrifying chains of lightning collided with the dazzling holy light, unleashing a divine brilliance that caused the surrounding mountains to crack.
The old man with blood-red hair stood with his hands behind his back, his hair flying wildly. Two sharp beams shot from his scarlet eyes. He was enveloped in a dense Yuan Sheng, and wisps of sacred aura emanated from his body. The Flying Immortal Power was contained within the Yuan Sheng, and precious radiance flowed. All divine power transformed into a beam of Eternal immortal light.
As this beam of divine light shot out, a large number of lightning chains were destroyed.
"Puff!"
A beam of holy light pierced through the Void, directly penetrating the male phoenix's body. Drops of crimson demonic blood fell, and instantly, the phoenix's aura weakened greatly. The Divine Chains of Severing the Dao, which it had previously easily controlled, shattered and collapsed, and it was no longer a match for the Yuan Sheng.
The other phoenix let out a mournful cry, its eyes filled with murderous intent, and spread its wings, carrying its mate on its back as it flew towards the horizon.
"Boom!"
A pale-faced Li Ming appeared before the Lightning Phoenix Bird. He held a bronze divine cauldron atop his head, with Order Divine Chains swirling around it. He stood in front of them, indifferently watching the two phoenixes.
The blood-haired elder in the distance also took a step forward, shrinking his stride to an inch, directly traversing thousands of miles, and appeared in front of the two Lightning Phoenix Bird.
Seeing that the situation was largely under control, Li Ming, dressed in Blood Dragon, softly advised, "Surrender and submit to my Yaoguang Holy Land!"
Suddenly, the Void shattered, and a beam of emerald light shot into the sky, striking the blood-haired elder and instantly turning him into ashes.
Li Ming's expression changed drastically. He summoned a Profound Jade Platform and tried to retreat by activating his divine power, but a Green Lotus appeared in the sky, completely sealing off the area. It was forbidden to traverse the Void here, and the Profound Jade Platform could not be activated.
A blue figure appeared in the Void, his body shrouded in Chaos mist, exuding a mysterious aura.
"Fellow Daoist, I am Li Ming from the Yaoguang Holy Land. There seems to be some misunderstanding here."
Looking at the pitiful Lightning Phoenix Bird, Su Yu said coldly, "Misunderstanding? Injuring my subordinate, what kind of misunderstanding is that?"
Li Ming breathed a sigh of relief when the other party didn't lash out. It was good that they could reason with him; compensation was a minor matter, his life was the most important thing.
" Green Lotus Emperor Weapon, you must be a fellow Daoist from the Chaos Palace. This time, I inexplicably clashed with your subordinate, even injuring him. This is all a misunderstanding, and I am willing to take full responsibility."
"Compensation? What can the Yaoguang Holy Land offer me?" Su Yu asked discreetly, subtly channeling his divine power.
Seeing Su Yu's reasonable demeanor, Li Ming finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the majesty of the Extreme Dao Holy Land had saved his life.
"I do..."
Before he could finish speaking, eight dark gold chains emerged from the Void, directly locking his Wheel of Life and his soul.
Su Yu calmly walked up to Li Ming, and a divine aura emanated from his slender body, which terrified Li Ming.
"Immortal... Heavenly Skill... Is it a fellow Daoist from the Ji Family? Or a fellow Daoist from the Great Xia Dynasty?" Li Ming asked weakly.
Su Yu remained silent, silently activating the Deity-Deliverance Art. The divine aura emanating from his body intensified, and pure white rain of light emanated from him. A deity whose face was obscured appeared, chanting supreme divine words. Countless runes flowed around Li Ming, encircling him, a sight that moved everyone present.
" The Deity-Deliverance Art!"
Li Ming tried to activate his divine power, but his Wheel of Life and Sea of Consciousness were sealed, making it impossible to resist. His entire body struggled violently, but gradually the struggle weakened. Finally, Li Ming regained his composure, and the black gold chains on his body dissipated on their own. His expression was calm and devout.
"Greetings, Your Highness."
Seeing Su Yu kneeling before him, Su Yu probed the memories within Su Yu's sea of consciousness.
" Li Xiu, the Li Family..."
Su Yu murmured the name, lost in thought.
According to Li Ming's memory, the ancestor of the Yaoguang lineage was the blood-haired old man who was just pulverized by the Green Lotus Emperor Weapon. However, this was only a wisp of his spirit; his true body was at the Half-Saint and had been in seclusion to break through to the Saint realm.
This lineage has been lurking in the Yaoguang Holy Land for tens of thousands of years, deeply rooted. Even the current Yaoguang Holy Lord, Li Daoqing, comes from their lineage. However, Li Daoqing insists on breaking away from the Ruthless One Lineage because this lineage is not tolerated by the world and is destined not to go far.
However, the Yaoguang Holy Land Young Emperor Dao Scripture. Attracted by the " Indestructible Heavenly Art " and the " Devouring Heaven Demon Art," even though the Ruthless One Lineage was an enemy of the world, this lineage still had a considerable number of followers, leaving Li Daoqing helpless.
The Li Family were descendants of that old man. However, the lineage changed later. They no longer focused on bloodline inheritance, and the inheritors selected suitable children from outside to inherit the Emperor Scripture's Secret Technique. The one chosen in this generation was the Yaoguang Holy Son.
The other party was the successor personally chosen by Li Ming, and even his name was given by Li Ming.
" Li Tianming, that's a good name indeed, but unfortunately, you've been born into this era. This Lifetime's Life Wheel yours to bear!" Su Yu thought to himself.
He had Li Ming copy down all the secret techniques above the Saintly Path that he had learned, then flew down from the clouds and came to the two Lightning Phoenix Bird. At this time, the wounds on the injured phoenixes were still dripping blood.
This wound was inflicted by the Flying Immortal Power, and it was an attack launched by a Half-Saint's avatar, containing the Saint Dao Laws. It would take the Lightning Phoenix Bird an unknown amount of time to heal on its own.
Su Yu activated the Devouring Heaven Demon Lid, easily extracting the Flying Immortal Power from the Phoenix Bird's wound, and then took out a pot of Divine Spring and handed it to the Lightning Phoenix Bird.
This is not Divine Spring from the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, but a primordial divine Divine Spring from the Chaos Small World.
After completing all of this, Li Ming had finished imprinting all the scriptures and secret techniques he knew.
Su Yu took the jade slip, then handed him a dark jade slip, and watched him leave.
The Green Lotus Lineage did not want to antagonize the Yaoguang Holy Land, and this black jade slip contained a remnant of the Dao bone of an Desolate Antiquity Ji Family Saint, who hated the Dao Yi attack launched by the Saint of the Ruthless One Lineage.
The world has not changed much yet, and there are only two Half-Saint ancestors in the Yaoguang Holy Land, which are nothing to fear.
Chapter 136 Aftermath
Thin wisps of snowflakes drifted down in the cold Yue Hua. On the outskirts of the Cloudbreak Mountains, numerous Yaoguang chariots stood horizontally, and a black gold warship, hundreds of feet long, hung high in the air. At this moment, the warship was shrouded in deathly silence.
The two gray-haired elders at the bow of the ship stared somberly at the Demon Mountain. The Grand Elder was trapped in the Broken Mountain, and if anything went wrong, their entire team would be exiled, and the two elders leading the team might even lose their lives.
"Immediately send someone back to the Holy Land to request the Dragon-Patterned Black Gold Cauldron."
"The Holy Land already knows, but it will take some time before they arrive."
"How about..."
"A demonic beast capable of severely injuring the Grand Elder with a single blow has likely already entered the Severing the Dao Realm. How can we, with only two First Heaven of the Immortal Platform, possibly rescue Elder Li Ming?"
"This won't work, that won't work, what do you suggest we do? If anything happens to the Grand Elder, we'll both be on the God-Extinguishing Platform!"
Finally, the argument came to an end, and both gray-haired elders looked grim.
The Yaoguang God-Extinguishing Platform contains terrifying sacred Divine Flame that can incinerate the true spirits of cultivators below the Saint Realm. Once someone is thrown into the God-Extinguishing Platform, even the outermost Divine Flame can scorch their divine consciousness within the Immortal Platform Secret Realm. Moreover, this process is extremely slow. The sacred fire will burn away the cultivator's cultivation, magical power, and divine soul, turning a Great Power of moving mountains and filling seas into a mortal.
One of the elders sighed and handed his elder's token to his personal disciple, then ordered him to lead the other disciples back to Yaoguang. Afterwards, he and another elder activated their divine power to power the Wujin warship, preparing for a decisive battle.
This war fortress was comparable to Great Power at the Immortal Platform Second Heaven realm, but it was all in vain before Severing the Dao. Both of them were determined to die, so they dismissed the lower-level disciples with their still-low cultivation levels and flew towards the Cloudbreak Mountains in their black gold warship.
Suddenly, a figure flew out from the mountains, followed by a sharp phoenix cry. Crimson clouds filled the air, and a divine Shrouding the Heavens the sky, swept outwards with terrifying Holy Lord- level pressure.
Covered in blood, Li Ming flew into the black gold warship, ignoring the wound on his chest, and forcefully activated his divine power to revive the warship.
The enormous warship, forged from black gold, shone with dazzling brilliance and auspicious colors. A golden beam shot out from its bow, piercing the sky and plunging into the depths of the Cloud-End Mountain Range, where it collided with the crimson divine light.
In an instant, the world turned upside down, mountains and rivers collapsed, countless mountain ranges collapsed, dragon veins fled in terror, and the snow falling from the sky was evaporated into mist by the divine light, making the Cloudbreak Mountains shrouded in mist.
A pure white, divinely powerful hand grabbed the outer disciples and pulled them onto the warship. Then, Li Ming, with a gloomy expression, urged the warship to flee, not even bothering with the valuable chariots.
After a while, the endless warships had already moved far away from the Cloudbreak Mountains. Li Ming, covered in blood, finally breathed a sigh of relief, withdrew his divine power, and his previously forced spirit collapsed instantly, his aura weakening.
The two elders beside him quickly took out some pills and handed them over, but Li Ming waved his hand and said, "I've already taken the divine pill. It's just some external injuries; there's nothing serious."
Seeing that Li Ming was not in mortal danger, the two elders breathed a sigh of relief. One of the elders turned around and said angrily to the disciples below, "Who is in charge of this part of the Cloudbreak Mountains?"
Another gray-haired elder said menacingly, "This man deserves to die!"
Soon, a disciple of Yao Yaoguang with an eerie face and snow-white skin was dragged out. Li Ming, who was originally preparing to recover from his injuries, narrowed his eyes when he saw the disciple's face, seemingly lost in thought.
"Elder, spare my life! I personally went into the mountain to investigate and indeed only found one phoenix. I swear on my life that I am telling the truth!" The disciple of Yaoguang, whose face was even more beautiful than a woman's, prostrated himself on the ground and said earnestly.
He was only thirteen or fourteen years old, tall and slender, with skin as white as snow under the Yue Hua, and very handsome. He was not afraid in this situation, but instead lowered his head and defended himself.
"Even now you dare to argue, putting the Grand Elder in danger, I..."
"Enough!"
Just as the elder was about to announce the result, Li Ming spoke up, his gaze fixed intently on the young man kneeling before him.
An interesting young man wanted to rise to the top through his own efforts... but this time he succeeded.
Li Ming chuckled, beckoned, and ordered the disciple to step forward. With a slight movement of his withered hands, he sent out a beam of divine light that probed into the boy's body, and then carefully admired his face.
Before long, he led the boy to his side and said calmly, "Good aptitude! Your foundation is very solid. From now on, you will be my ninth disciple!"
"Greetings, Master!"
The boy, who had narrowly escaped death, took a deep breath and knelt at Li Ming's feet.
Li Ming glanced at the two somewhat astonished elders, then turned and said, "There's no need to implicate others. This time, I acted rashly!"
"As the Elder commands!"
The two elders could only respectfully bow and accept the order.
Li Ming was surrounded by divine light, which enveloped himself and the boy as they entered a palace.
"Come with me. The cultivation path of my lineage is somewhat unique. You must cultivate diligently from now on. I can save you for a while, but not Lifetime. In the end, you will have to rely on yourself."
The gray-haired elder said with some emotion, "What good fortune! To be accepted as a disciple by the Grand Elder."
Another elder stroked his beard, his greyish-white eyes gleaming, lost in thought. He chuckled softly, "Good fortune may be a harbinger of misfortune, and misfortune may be a harbinger of good fortune. This is his destiny; there's no point in envying him."
