Shock

War God Hall, a huge water screen floated in mid-air, projecting footage of Ji An's journey through the fifth level of the War God Hall.

Ji Ning stared intently at the water curtain.

In the scene, the older brother Ji An's wings unfolded behind him, using the "Windwing Evasion," flashing continuously. If the scene hadn't been deliberately slowed down by the Yellow Big Bear, it would have been impossible to see the older brother's movements clearly.

In the scene, Ji An's opponent, a humanoid Metal Puppet, couldn't touch him no matter what he did.

In the blink of an eye, Ji An drew his longsword, its light flashing like lightning. Within three moves, it pierced the puppet's brow, and the guardian puppet didn't even have time to parry before collapsing to the ground.

"So weak." Ji Ning looked at the screen and said in a low voice, "This puppet couldn't even withstand a few moves from my elder brother—Senior, should I try to challenge the third level?"

The Yellow Big Bear, lying on the ground nearby, rolled its eyes upon hearing this and immediately scolded, "Ji Ning, you little brat, what do you know! Don't think this puppet is made of paper just because your brother fought it so easily. This puppet guarding the fifth level was forged to the level of a top-tier Primordial Spirit cultivator. Its physical strength is comparable to a Heaven Rank magic weapon, and its combat power is enough to sweep away more than 90% of Primordial Spirit Daoist outside. It would be considered a formidable opponent even within the entire An Tan Commandery!"

As the Yellow Big Bear spoke, it stretched out its furry paw and pointed at the water screen, where the scene of Ji An drawing his sword was replayed in slow motion. "Take a close look. Those three sword strikes just now, seemingly simple and direct, actually each one incorporated the complete Metal Dao."

Looking at your brother's movement technique, it's not just because he's cultivated the "Windwing Evasion," but more importantly, he has perfectly integrated the complete Path of Gale into it! These two complete Ways alone are beyond the reach of ordinary cultivators!

"The complete Dao!"

Ji Ning asked in surprise.

The Dao is divided into three realms: True Meaning, Domain Stage, and Complete Dao.

Ji Ning had cultivated diligently for many years, and his Dao of Path of Rainwater and Thunder and Thunderfire Dao had only reached the Domain Stage level. However, he knew in his heart that breaking through from the Domain Stage to the complete Dao was by no means something that could be accomplished overnight.

Based on his aptitude and accumulated experience, he estimates that he would need at least ten more years of dedicated practice before he could hope to grasp the complete Dao.

He had always known that his elder brother Ji An was strong, but he never expected him to be this strong. You must know that Ji An's forte was originally the Thunderfire Dao and Fire, but now he has even perfected the Metal Dao and the Path of Gale. Such talent is simply unbelievable.

After realizing the difficulty, Ji Ning said nothing more and turned his gaze back to the water curtain.

In the scene, Ji An stands with his sword sheathed, looking calm and composed.

At this moment, he finally realized the difference between geniuses and prodigies, and the vast difference between the aptitude of geniuses and ordinary cultivators.

But prodigies are ten or even a hundred times more talented than geniuses.

"Then... will Big Brother be able to pass the sixth level?" Ji Ning couldn't help but ask.

The Yellow Big Bear snorted twice and said, "The guardian of the sixth level is a top-tier Loose Immortal! His combat power is more than one level stronger than the puppet in the fifth level! The difference between Loose Immortal and Primordial Spirit Daoist is like the difference between Wanxiang Adept and Violet Palace Cultivator —they're not even in the same league. If this kid hadn't given up his 'First Divine Ability' back then, coupled with his current understanding of the Dao, he would have passed with a 100% certainty. But now—it all depends on his performance on the day and his luck!"

As it spoke, its gaze returned to the water curtain.

There, Ji An's figure had disappeared, meaning he had already stepped into the Sixth Layer of the War God Hall.

The atmosphere War God Hall became tense.

Ji Ning held his breath as he watched the water curtain. With the explanation from the Yellow Big Bear, he understood that what he was about to see was the true limit of his brother Ji An's current strength.

The Sixth Layer of the War God Hall.

Ji An strolled through the void, looking around at the hazy white space that was thousands of feet high and thousands of feet in diameter.

Buzz!

A blue light appeared in the space a hundred feet ahead, and a figure materialized.

The newcomer wore a simple, dark blue Daoist robe, his eyes were calm, and his aura was profound, as if he had become one with this void battlefield.

Most striking of all are the two swords he carries on his back.

The longsword on the left is cyan in color, with a warm luster and a faint sound of flowing spring water; the longsword on the right is black, exuding a cold aura, as if it can devour all light.

The Daoist aura surrounding these two swords is a manifestation of the power of water, as if they were an embodiment of a portion of the Dao of water in this Heaven and Earth.

Ji Ning, Divine Ability Hall, felt a sense of familiarity upon seeing the rhythm of the two swords.

"Sixth Layer - Top-tier Loose Immortal -" Ji An whispered, his fighting spirit burning.

Finally, we can know the true extent of his own strength.

The Loose Immortal's gaze fell upon Ji An, calm and unwavering.

He slowly raised his hand and bowed. "Young friend, your talent is extraordinary; it is no easy feat to have reached this point. However, I also have my reasons for needing to defeat you. I apologize for the inconvenience."

Before the words were finished, two swords appeared behind the Loose Immortal.

With a soft "clang," two streaks of Flowing Light shot into the sky!

One sword light was green, the other black; the two sword lights instantly expanded and solidified!

"Roar

In an instant, two dragons Azure Dragon Black Dragon, each over a hundred feet long, roared and appeared in the void.

The Azure Dragon Black Dragon were enveloped in water vapor.

Dragon Eyes, like two enormous gems, gleamed with a cold light, staring intently at Ji An.

"Take a good look; this Loose Immortal's understanding of the 'Rain Water' Minor Dao has reached a state of perfection."

The Yellow Big Bear addressed Ji Ning, who was fighting outside the palace.

Ji Ning's pupils contracted.

He also cultivates the Rainwater Sword Domain and is well aware of the profound mysteries of the Path of Rainwater.

Seeing those two lifelike dragons, he could feel that his Rainwater Sword Domain was like a stream compared to the sword-wielding dragon of this Loose Immortal!

"Big brother--" Ji Ning said nervously.

A top-tier Loose Immortal! That's someone powerful enough to establish their own sect, a giant in An Tan Commandery, right?!

Can the eldest brother win?

On the battlefield, two water dragons have already launched their attack!

"A blue water dragon roared and launched the first attack, its huge mouth opening wide and spewing out billions of 'rain threads'!"

This was no ordinary rain; every single drop contained the insights of Loose Immortal into the Path of Rainwater. It was questionable whether an ordinary Primordial Spirit could even struggle in this rain. The coverage extended across the entire battlefield, like a net from heaven and earth, leaving no way to escape!

At the same time, a black water dragon appeared in the void, its enormous claws Space-Splitting with immense force, aiming straight for Ji An's head.

Wherever the claw-like wind passed, water vapor condensed in the void.

"Truly worthy of being a top-tier Loose Immortal!"

Ji An's eyes flashed with a sharp light, Windsun Heaven-Escaping Wings behind him flapped.

Boom!

He transformed into an elusive streak of azure Flowing Light and vanished from his spot in an instant.

Its speed was so great that it left behind afterimages in the void.

The Perfect Path of Gale, combined with the Windsun Heaven-Escaping Wings, allowed him to weave through the dense, net-like "rain".

Ding ding!

Countless raindrops pierced through the afterimages left by Ji An. Even if a few stray raindrops managed to hit Ji An, they were forcefully caught by his powerful divine and demonic body, comparable to Heaven Rank heavenly magic weapon, leaving only a few white marks.

"The complete Way of Gale! What a powerful physique!" A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the Loose Immortal, and his hand seals changed.

The black water dragon's giant claws suddenly accelerated, anticipating Ji An's dodge point, and slammed down!

At the same time, the raindrops spewed out by the blue water dragon seemed to have a life of their own, surrounding and encircling Ji An from all directions, completely blocking all of his escape routes.

"Well done! Thunderfire World!"

Ji An advanced instead of retreating!

Faced with the combined attack of the two water dragons, his divine power erupted!

With a thunderous roar, a Thunderfire World, a thousand feet in diameter, descended from Ji An's center!

Purple Thunder transformed into streaks of lightning, weaving through the crimson sea of Primordial Fire.

Countless flames coalesced into Three-legged Golden Crow, which was the "self-contained Heaven and Earth" formed by combining his complete understanding of the Thunderfire Dao and Fire with the Primordial Fire he controlled and the Thunder he mastered through the "Thunder God Eye"!

Sizzle!

The black water dragon's giant claw slammed into the Thunderfire World!

However, its power has been weakened by several percent due to the barrier of the Thunderfire World.

If he could have seriously injured Ji An before, now he's only slightly injured.

"Flowing Light!"

The Universe Sword in Ji An's hand moved!

There were no fancy moves, just a simple straight thrust.

On the sword, countless golden Dao intents condensed, transforming into a dark golden sword light that seemed capable of slicing through the laws of Heaven and Earth.

This is the most powerful ultimate move that Ji An comprehended after awakening his cheat ability, "Universe".

This technique, primarily utilizing the Sharp Metal Minor Dao and supplemented by the other eight Minor Dao, is the most powerful move Ji An has currently mastered from "The Universe"!

Laugh!

A dark golden sword light flashed through the air, slashing towards the giant claw of the water dragon!

"Roar!" The Black Dragon let out a painful roar!

Clang!!

The sound of metal clanging resounded through the void!

Sparks flew everywhere!

The Black Dragon formed from Immortal Rank magical artifact was far more sturdy than anyone could have imagined!

Ji An's all-out sword strike only managed to repel the Black Dragon, but it did not cause any real damage to Black Dragon.

The Black Dragon merely retreated slightly, then its massive claws still slammed towards Ji An.

Ji An's attack failed, so he immediately withdrew, narrowly avoiding the dragon's claw strike.

He frowned slightly, realizing the situation. "As expected, with my current attack power, it's extremely difficult to completely destroy or severely damage the true form of Immortal Rank magic weapon!"

Divine Ability Hall.

"See!" the Yellow Big Bear explained to Ji Ning, "Even a low -Immortal Rank magic weapon is far superior to Heaven Rank one. Although Ji An's Universe Sword is already a Heaven Rank Immortal Rank weapon, it still can't break through a Celestial-rank magic weapon in one strike. That Black Dragon's essence is the Dark Nether Sword, Immortal Rank magic weapon. How could it be so easily destroyed? He was only able to repel it because your brother's sword technique was powerful!"

"Unexpectedly, Ji An's talent in the Path of Metal is even greater than that in the Thunderfire Dao. That sword strike involved at least nine minor..."

It is a combination of the Dao, and at least it has reached the Dao Domain!

"Nine Minor Dao!" Ji Ning exclaimed in surprise.

Keep in mind that he has only comprehended two Minor Dao, while his elder brother has at least eleven.

But Ji Ning's palms were still sweating as he watched his elder brother's battle through the water curtain. His brother's incredibly powerful sword strike had only managed to force the Black Dragon to retreat?

The power of the Immortal Rank magic weapon once again refreshed his understanding.

At the same time, he became even more nervous. His elder brother's attacks seemed to be ineffective. How could he break this deadlock?

On the battlefield.

The Loose Immortal's expression remained calm, but his eyes were filled with shock.

The young man opposite him was far superior in cultivation. If he hadn't been a whole realm behind him, that one sword strike would have been enough to kill him!

"Change!" The Loose Immortal Sword Technique changes again.

The Azure Dragon stopped spewing raindrops; its massive body coiled and danced, then opened its mouth and spewed out a jet of water condensed to its fullest extent!

This water column was formed from the "First-Grade Heavenly Water, One-Origin Heavy Water" that this Loose Immortal possessed.

Wherever this water column passed, even Ji An's Thunderfire World was severely suppressed, as if it were about to be extinguished by this incredibly heavy water power!

The Black Dragon began to circle around the Azure Dragon, its massive body stirring the void and forming terrifying whirlpools of water. These, along with columns of heavy water, continuously eroded Ji An's Thunderfire World, restricting his range of movement.

The two divine dragons, transformed from Immortal Rank magical treasures, worked together seamlessly, unleashing the full power of the Path of Rainwater.

Ji An's pressure has increased dramatically!

Under the influence of heavy water and whirlpools, the area of Thunderfire World was constantly compressed, and its light dimmed considerably.

He was trapped in this terrifying water prison composed of Immortal Rank magical artifacts controlled by top-tier Loose Immortals, and the space for him to maneuver was getting smaller and smaller.

"This can't go on!" Ji An's eyes sharpened; he knew the deadlock had to be broken.

He took a deep breath, and the powerful Crimsonbright divine power within him surged and roared at an unprecedented speed.

The initial stage of Primordial Spirit magic power was far too weak for Ji An, and it was of no use in this duel against a top-tier Loose Immortal!

"Let's try that move—" Ji An raced, and he made a decision in an instant.

He abandoned the Thunderfire World that he was trying to maintain.

Boom!

The power of Thunderfire suddenly condensed on the Universe Sword!

Purple lightning and crimson flames swirled around the sword's blade, but at its core shone a chilling dark golden sword light!

His aura surged, like a peerless divine sword about to be unsheathed!

Before Ji An could make a move, the Loose Immortal seemed to sense a threat, his eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he clasped his hands together!

"Water Prison Sword World!"

With a low shout, the water elemental power that had been eroding and squeezing the Thunderfire World, as well as the raindrops that had not yet dissipated and were floating in the void, suddenly changed.

Buzz!

A massive, deep blue spherical water prison instantly took shape!

The "fence" of this cage is surprisingly made up of countless raindrops!

Each raindrop contains the complete essence of the Dao of Rain, carrying the power of water to seal and restrain!

The timing of this "Water Prison Sword World" was perfect, directly enveloping Ji An within it!

Normally, Ji An would never be controlled by this Water Prison Sword World. Whether it's the Grand Dao Heaven and Earth " or the Path of Gale, "Ji An has a way to leave.

But now, that won't work.

In an instant, Ji An felt as if he had fallen into an endless, deep-sea sword tomb!

Not only was his body under terrifying pressure, but even the operation of his Divine Sense and the flow of his divine power became sluggish.

The deep blue Water Prison Sword World floated in the void, slowly rotating, with two water dragons coiled within it, their cold eyes gazing at Ji An, who was trapped inside.

The voice of the Loose Immortal echoed through the sword realm, "Young friend, this realm is my strongest killing move. Admit defeat—"
