The Wu Country.
Calming Waves City.
Dark, shimmering water and billowing, demonic light intertwined in the sky, dyeing half of the sky into two distinct colors.
True Lord Jihai, dressed in a black robe, emanated a black water light that spread from his feet, converging into a boundless Xuanhai. Wind and thunder surged, and rain, snow, and frost fell in unison. This sea collided with the thick, inky demonic energy opposite him, where countless ferocious faces rolled and roared, creating a crackling sound.
This Jade Spring Sect Nascent Soul True Lord of the Jade Spring Sect and leader of the Vast Waves Alliance remained silent. In his dark eyes, there was only the fury buried deep in the abyss, which drove the dark, dragon-like beams of light beneath him to fiercely attack the True Lord Kugu opposite him.
Holy Origin Alliance, Parting Hate Gate, True Lord Kugu.
The old Old Devil, due to his limited talent, remained at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage for an extremely long time and was the most loyal follower of the Heaven-Hating Devil Lord.
Although the Old Devil maintained a calm expression, he couldn't help but mutter to himself.
"How strange! Didn't Jihai Nascent Soul less than sixty years ago?"
"How can they possess such strength, even managing to vaguely tumble against my [ Kugu Devil Body ]?!"
The thoughts raced through the mind of the True Lord Kugu, but his hands moved with lightning speed.
He spread his five fingers and made a grasping motion towards True Lord Jihai. Endless gray-white demonic energy surged from his fingertips, transforming into a huge white bone claw shadow that fiercely slammed down on the oncoming black water dragon!
The skeletal claw shadows collided violently with the black water dragon, unleashing a piercing screeching sound!
The black water dragon was caught by the white bone claw shadow, but instead of being torn apart immediately, the wind and thunder surged again on its entire body. As its body twisted violently, layers of black light floated, actually tearing the white bone claw shadow to pieces!
The pupils of the True Lord Kugu contracted slightly.
His [ Kugu Devil Claw ] is a divine Divine Ability he has mastered for hundreds of years. With one swipe, it can leave several marks on even the Law Treasure of cultivators of the same level.
But that claw attack was actually shredded by a water dragon casually conjured by True Lord Jihai!
This is definitely not the strength a cultivator who has only broken through to the Nascent Soul less than sixty years ago should possess!
He accompanied the Heaven-Hating Devil Lord on this trip, and together with Yousha, they split into two groups to block the Calming Waves City and Turbid Wave Pavilion. Their purpose was to buy time for the Heaven-Hating Devil Lord and those Nascent Soul Demon Lord had come ashore, so that they could destroy the Jade Spring Sect in one fell swoop and kill the Jade Spring Sect Master Qingchen on the spot!
To avenge our past humiliation, annihilate the Vast Waves Alliance, and achieve the great demonic ambition of the Parting Hate Gate!
However, he vaguely felt that this Nascent Soul Early Stage True Lord Jihai seemed to have no less potential than his senior brother True Lord Qingchen.
If things continue this way... there's a possibility of a rollover!
A sense of foreboding arose in the heart of the True Lord Kugu, and he immediately stopped holding back. He clasped his hands together, and his demonic energy surged wildly, transforming into a skeletal form a hundred feet tall, standing between heaven and earth!
The skeletal form was entirely white as jade, with six arms and three heads. It was supported by the skeletal body of a giant white skeletal bird, and its bones were engraved with dense black demonic patterns, exuding an ancient and eerie aura.
Within the head of the Dharma image, two eerie green flames flickered incessantly, and in the deepest part, two faint points of Glazed Glass light floated, resembling two Sanskrit characters or two eyes, coldly watching the True Lord Jihai below.
" Jihai, I admit I underestimated you!"
The voice of the True Lord Kugu came from the mouth of the white bone dharma image, as unpleasant as two pieces of raw iron rubbing together. It shocked the cultivators below the Nascent Soul in Calming Waves City, causing their ears to bleed and their Qi and Blood to surge. Those with lower cultivation levels even rolled their eyes and fainted on the spot.
"But if you think you can shake my position with such meager abilities... hah, that's just wishful thinking!"
Six enormous bone arms swung simultaneously, each arm radiating a pale white light. The white bone bird beneath it cried out in a high-pitched voice, and colorful light gradually appeared on the layers of white bone tail feathers behind it.
Boom!
Six pale white demonic lights erupted from the center of his arm, while those from the white bone tail feathers of the colorful bird flowed into his mouth. A stream of grayish-white demonic fire fell down and merged with the pale white demonic lights, crashing into the Xuanhai manifested by the Divine Ability of True Lord Jihai.
In an instant, the Xuanhai surged, and the water of the Xuanhai, which was formed by the Divine Ability Law Power, was burned dry, as if it were withering away.
Faced with this overwhelming offensive, True Lord Jihai remained standing still, unmoved.
His handsome face showed no sign of anger; his dark eyes held only a calm like the Xuanhai and a hidden abyss beneath.
He spoke.
"You Kugu, you plot against my Jade Spring Sect today, attempting to overthrow our Jade Spring Sect's lineage and inheritance... For this reason, that Old Devil Hentian sent you here to block my reinforcements!"
"Heh heh, let me tell you, impossible!"
The dark blue water beneath his feet continued to spread, gradually expanding from a radius of a few feet to tens of feet, hundreds of feet, thousands of feet... until finally, the entire sky above Calming Waves City was shrouded in this dark blue water!
Within that dark, shimmering water, the sounds of wind and thunder grew increasingly rapid, and the rain, snow, and frost became more and more intense. Multiple forces converged within it, ultimately transforming, as if a great calamity was brewing within.
True Lord Jihai stood in the center of the water, his black robes fluttering in the wind. A point of mysterious light floated between his brows, and behind his head, like a drop of water merging into ripples, layers of black halo spread out. With each circle that spread, his aura surged!
--It was as if he were the embodiment of this Xuanhai, the master of wind, rain, thunder, and lightning, the sole master of this world!
True Lord Jihai slowly raised his right hand--
The world suddenly fell silent.
The Xuanhai beneath him surged wildly like an enraged giant, with boundless Xuanhai, accompanied by wind, rain, thunder, and lightning, all rushing into his palm, manifesting three dark water rings. He then gently pressed them against the hundred-foot-tall white bone dharma image.
A deafening roar followed!
Three dazzling beams of profound light erupted from his palms, instantly landing on the massive skeletal avatar of the True Lord Kugu. Endless wind, rain, thunder, and lightning pounded against the avatar, the terrifying power of the Xuanhai exerting immense force each moment. And what kind of might could countless such forces combined create?
The Divine Ability [ Three Wu Sea-Overcoming True Void Profound Light ], refined by the [ Golden Scripture of Heavenly One Generating Water ], a direct lineage of the Jade Spring Sect and inherited from the Heavenly River Dao Lineage!
As a result, fine cracks began to appear on the surface of the hundred-foot-tall white skeletal image.
At first, the cracks were only as thin as a hair, but in an instant, they spread rapidly like a spider web, covering the entire body of the Dharma Image!
Within each crack, a dark, watery light seeped in, like countless tiny venomous snakes, burrowing into every inch of the white bone statue and stirring within it, like dragons frolicking in the sea!
The True Lord Kugu tried to use his Divine Ability to remedy the situation or defend himself, but to no avail.
