Making a Move, Is That All You've Got?

As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Xiao immediately shouted, "Li Yunjing! Hurry up and thank the Ancestor for his grace! Having the Ancestor's protection is a blessing that your Luozhen Sect over eight lifetimes!"

Li Yunjing suddenly smiled.

The laughter wasn't loud, but it clearly carried throughout the entire venue.

"The old monster's been sealed away in his sleep for too long; he's probably gotten confused." A cold smile played on his lips as he turned to look at Northern Dark True Spirit beside him. "Northern Darkness, they've come knocking on our door; are you still going to hold back?"

Northern Dark True Spirit was already furious because Primordial Beginning Dao Sect had broken the High Antiquity seal and disturbed the source of the earth's veins. Upon hearing Li Yunjing's words, his cold face grew even colder.

"I've been wanting to stretch my muscles for a while now." His voice was icy, and beneath his black robe, dark earth vein power surged forth like a tide. "A mere remnant soul in the Tribulation Transcendence Stage stage dares to be so presumptuous before the Ancestral Vein."

"Young master, you said it, there's no need to worry about the consequences."

"Not bad." Li Yunjing nodded calmly. "Go ahead and fight. I'll take responsibility for anything that happens."

"Good!"

Patriarch Xuanji's face instantly darkened, and a surge of rage flashed in his eyes.

He has been asleep for tens of thousands of years, and even in High Antiquity times, no one dared to be so disrespectful to him.

A Ancestral Vein True Spirit and a junior dared to join forces to mock him?

"You're courting death!" Patriarch Xuanji sneered and raised his hand to strike down with a palm.

It was just a simple palm strike, yet it triggered the surrounding Space Principle.

A gigantic black palm print blotted out the sky, its lines containing the power to destroy everything, causing the Black Stone ground below to instantly collapse several feet.

"Ancestral Vein Dragon Transformation!"

Northern Dark True Spirit let out a low shout, and his body suddenly swelled up.

His black robe ripped apart, and countless jet-black earth vein energies surged forth from the ground, coalescing behind him into a gigantic jet-black dragon thousands of feet long.

The dragon's scales and claws were clearly defined, and its horns were rugged. Each scale was forged from the earth's ley lines, and its body was surrounded by a thick layer of earth energy.

"Hold head high!"

A dragon's roar that shook the heavens and the earth resounded.

The dragon swung its tail, its massive tail carrying immense force, and lashed fiercely at the black palm print.

Boom!

The palm print collided with the dragon's tail, and a terrifying shockwave instantly spread outwards.

The earth undulated like waves, the Black Stone was crushed into dust, and the surrounding spatial cracks instantly expanded several times over.

The raging torrents swept in all directions, and the cultivators of the Primordial Beginning Dao Sect and the Luozhen Sect retreated one after another, summoning protective spiritual light, but they were still shaken by the shockwave and their Qi and Blood surged.

In the sky, Patriarch Xuanji swayed and took half a step back, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

The giant dragon, transformed from the Northern Dark True Spirit, stabilized itself with only a slight sway of its body.

"How is this possible?!" Patriarch Xuanji exclaimed in shock, "You are merely Ancestral Vein True Spirit, how could you possibly possess such combat power?!"

Although he is in the Tribulation Transcendence Stage, he has been sealed for tens of thousands of years, resulting in a huge loss of his soul and spiritual power. Now he can only exert the strength of the Early Tribulation Transcendence.

Even so, it is by no means comparable to ordinary Void Refinement or Body Integration.

But Northern Dark True Spirit actually withstood his palm strike and even seemed to gain the upper hand?

The giant dragon formed from the Northern Dark True Spirit hovered in the air, its icy eyes fixed on Patriarch Xuanji, its voice booming like thunder. "On the land of the Dao Realm, I am the master of the earth veins. You, a mere sealed remnant soul from elsewhere, dare to contend with me?"

As soon as the words were spoken, the dragon moved again.

The dragon claws extended, their five sharp tips carrying the power to Rend Space, grabbing towards the Patriarch Xuanji.

Wherever the claw-like wind passed, the power of the earth's veins gathered continuously, and the claw shadow grew larger and larger, seemingly possessing the power to suppress heaven and earth.

"Annihilating Mystic Light!"

Patriarch Xuanji was both shocked and furious, and dared not be careless, quickly forming hand seals.

A jet-black beam of light shot out from his palm, the light condensed into a thin line, shattering the space in its path—this was his signature Divine Ability.

laugh.

The light struck the dragon's claw, leaving only a faint white mark on its scales before vanishing without a trace.

The dragon scales of the Northern Dark True Spirit are forged from the earth's ley lines, making them incredibly hard. They are also constantly repaired by the earth's ley line power, making them impenetrable to ordinary attacks.

"This..." Patriarch Xuanji's expression changed drastically.

He finally realized something was wrong.

This is the Great Wilderness, the region with the densest earth veins in the Dao Realm.

As the Northern Darkness Ancestral Vein Northern Dark True Spirit, the True Spirit of the Northern Sea is fighting here, which is equivalent to having the Dao Realm's ley lines as its backing, giving it inexhaustible power.

As for himself, every bit of spiritual energy he used was less, and he simply couldn't afford to waste it.

"No, we need to finish this quickly!"

A ruthless glint flashed in the eyes of the Patriarch Xuanji. He opened his mouth and spat out a black ancient seal.

The ancient seal swelled in the wind, growing to the size of a mountain. The characters "Tai Shi" were engraved on its surface, exuding an ancient and profound aura.

"Primordial Beginning Seal! Suppress!"

The ancient seal descended from the sky, carrying a terrifying pressure that could suppress all things, and crashed down on the top of the giant dragon's head.

This is the Primordial Beginning Dao Sect, a top-grade Spirit Treasure. When activated by a cultivator at the Tribulation Transcendence Stage, its power is enough to split mountains and shatter peaks.

"Ancestral Vein Mountain-Subduing Seal!"

Northern Dark True Spirit neither dodged nor avoided, but raised his dragon head and unleashed the same hand seal.

Countless ley line energies rose from the ground and condensed in mid-air into a giant earthen-yellow handprint.

The earth vein patterns on the handprint crisscrossed, carrying the weight of the entire Northern Darkness Ancestral Vein, and faced the Primordial Beginning Seal.

Boom!!!

The two treasures collided, producing a deafening roar.

The entire Great Wilderness trembled violently, countless Black Stone collapsed with a roar, the earth's veins surged, and magma gushed out from the cracks, staining half the sky red.

Dark clouds gathered in the sky, accompanied by lightning and thunder, creating an unusual celestial phenomenon.

This terrifying fluctuation spread throughout the Five Provinces of the Dao Realm along the earth's veins.

Across the Five Provinces, countless cultivators looked up in astonishment, gazing towards the direction of the Great Wilderness.

"What terrifying fluctuations! Are they battles between experts at the Tribulation Transcendence Stage?"

"The heavens and earth are collapsing; such combat power is simply terrifying!"

"Are they from the Primordial Beginning Dao Sect? Or the Luozhen Sect?"

"Ancestral Vein aura! It's the Ancestral Vein True Spirit making its move!"

"..."

The patriarchs of various sects emerged from seclusion, their expressions solemn as they gazed towards the Great Wilderness.

No one expected that the Primordial Beginning Dao Sect would ignite such a terrifying war so soon after its birth.

Above the sky, the Primordial Beginning Seal trembled violently, and fine cracks appeared on its surface.

"Puff."

Patriarch Xuanji spat out a mouthful of blood, his face instantly turning deathly pale.

The Primordial Beginning Seal was connected to his mind and spirit; when the seal was damaged, he also suffered a backlash.

"Impossible, my Primordial Beginning Seal..." He stared incredulously at the giant dragon before him.

The Ancestral Vein Mountain-Subduing Seal of the Northern Dark True Spirit is not a physical Law Treasure, but is formed by the power of the earth's veins. It can be condensed again if it is broken, and there is no loss at all.

His Primordial Beginning Seal, however, was a genuine Spirit Treasure, and each collision consumed its essence.

With the other side gaining an advantage, he couldn't gain any benefit at all.

"Old man, is that all you've got?" Northern Dark True Spirit's voice was mocking as he flicked his dragon tail and lashed out again.

Patriarch Xuanji gritted his teeth and dodged, but the dragon's tail was extremely fast, carrying the binding power of the earth's veins, and the surrounding space seemed to freeze.

He couldn't dodge in time and was struck hard in the waist by the dragon's tail.

Bang!

With a muffled thud, Patriarch Xuanji was sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string, spitting out blood as his protective aura shattered inch by inch.

"Ancestor!" Wei Xiao and the others exclaimed in surprise.

The Northern Dark True Spirit, having gained the upper hand, pressed on relentlessly. The giant dragon coiled around and spewed out a jet of dark black earth vein divine light.

Wherever the divine light passed, space collapsed, heading straight for Patriarch Xuanji.
