Daoist Competition-Chapter 956 - 218: Divine Thunder Shatters the Formation to Ashes

Zhang Yan had no intention of conversing further with Lu Yuanxing. His gaze flashed, and he pointed his fingers, sending out a streak of sword light. Midway, the streak suddenly split into sixteen rays, emitting a piercing whistle as they dashed through the air.

Lu Yuanxing flipped his hand, deploying a Bright Pearl above his head, which immediately released a glow akin to moonlight, illuminating the ground all around.

The light appeared gentle, yet when any sword light fell upon it, it was as if striking refined steel, scattering sparks and creating continuous clashing sounds of metal.

He opened his mouth and let out a long roar, clenched his fists, and two clusters of Gang Cloud rapidly surged at his peak. From the Dharma Platform, beams of light shot upwards, releasing a Nascent Soul, which stood tall like a mountain, exceptionally formidable, nearly occupying the entire platform.

The Nascent Soul’s whole body gleamed translucently like Crystal Jade. As it appeared, it became the vortex’s center, creating a whirlwind that seemed to swallow the sea. Beneath, vast amounts of seawater were drawn up by its immense force, converging towards it, reflecting radiant rainbow hues.

Zhang Yan felt his body shake, his footing loose, as if his limbs were being pulled towards the vortex. He quickly employed the Supreme Mysterious True Light, spreading Five-Colored Light behind him. A yellow glow descended, instantly applying a massive downward force, anchoring his body.

Previously, when the Lu family’s Nascent Soul Elders activated the "Nine Phase Swallowing Star" spell, they had to focus their energy for a moment. However, during this brief period, Zhang Yan relentlessly suppressed them with relentless attacks, never allowing the Daoist Skill to be fully executed.

But Lu Yuanxing, as the Pavilion Master of Bijiao Prefecture, was vastly different from his clan members. With his unique Secret Technique inheritance, he had long combined the Ten-thousand-year-old Profound Cold Yue Poison into his Mysterious Skills, remedying this shortcoming. Upon enemy confrontation, his Nascent Soul would appear, effortlessly manifesting its powers, with nothing able to hinder it.

Relying on his status as a Nascent Soul Second Realm Cultivator, Lu Yuanxing continued to channel mana, intensifying the vortex’s power. Across the Hundred-mile Sea Domain, the weather changed dramatically, triggering towering waves and violent storms.

If the battle continued like this, both sides would merely compare their mana. Although Zhang Yan was a Nascent Soul First Realm Cultivator, his mana was abundant, barely inferior to Lu Yuanxing.

Yet, while engaged in combat, Zhang Yan preferred not to let others control the situation. He secretly conjured a spell, his Nascent Soul flickered, and he extended his hand, transforming instantly into a cloud of smoke that coalesced into a massive Xuanhuang Great Hand, which descended like a mountain.

Lu Yuanxing’s expression slightly tensed, and he shouted, "Where are the house guards? Quickly, come protect!"

The three thousand strong Demon Soldiers surrounding him were the finest from the house, including over a thousand Whale Guards among them. Hearing his orders, they hurriedly waved their banners on the Dharma Platform, raising waves of Crystal Jade water, which surged continuously.

The Xuanhuang Great Hand descended upon them, clashing against the water barrier, causing the sky to roar with deafening noise but unable to break through.

Seeing that the Xuanhuang Great Hand was ineffective, Zhang Yan did not persist. With a wave of his sleeve, three hundred sixty-five drops of You Yin Heavy Water rushed forward.

These Heavy Waters were as black as ink and seemingly inconspicuous, showing no brilliant light or odd colors during their advance. Lu Yuanxing assumed they were merely mana manifestations and didn’t pay much attention, opening his Nascent Soul’s giant mouth to swallow the Heavy Waters, intending to refine them.

The Nine Phase Devouring Star Divine Ability was incredibly formidable. Even a Nascent Soul Cultivator who entered his belly could never break free.

Whether three or four months or several days, he could transform the bones and Essence Blood, refining the whole body True Essence into Essence Qi, enhancing the divine power’s might.

Having reached this level, he had absorbed countless cultivators, never considering these drops of You Yin Heavy Water as a concern.

Unexpectedly, upon swallowing them, his face slightly changed as the Heavy Water felt as weighty as mountains, difficult to refine in haste, and restlessly stirred within his belly, making him stagger as if drunk, unable to suppress them.

Noticing the urgency, he quickly exerted his mana, managing to barely subdue the Heavy Water after much effort.

With Lu Yuanxing occupied, Zhang Yan clearly sensed the surrounding force significantly weaken. Instantly spotting the flaw, he couldn’t let the opportunity slip. His gaze sharpened slightly, he pointed a finger, firing the Five Spirit White Carp Shuttle to exploit the gap and break the obstructive array.

As soon as the shuttle appeared, its body released a dazzling golden light, unhindered by the Nine Phase Divine Power’s interference. Flashing rapidly, it shot toward the array, diving straight into it, instantly followed by several explosive sounds.
