Chapter 168: This Freaking is a Nascent Soul!?
Chapter 168: This Freaking is a Nascent Soul!?
Island skies still crackled with tension as two forces squared off.
Leading the Divine Thunder Sect stood a robed Daoist nun, her elegance sharpened by fury. Across from her, the Azure Thunder Gate’s white-browed elder patriarch hoisted an Azure Spirit Bead, his voice slicing through the air. "Xiao Furen, half the Chaotic Currents Sea knows your master’s dead. The Divine Thunder Sect has only you left."
"Today, no one saves you."
"Remember—your sect was founded by our cast-out disciple. Letting you thrive for decades was mercy. Now it’s time to return to your roots."
His followers roared approval. Xiao Furen’s face flushed crimson, her chest heaving. "Shameless! It was your Azure Thunder Gate that splintered from our sect!"
"You only prospered because our lineage declined."
"Traitors who abandoned their roots dare to annihilate my Divine Thunder Sect now? Do you think my Kui Water Heavenly Thunder Formation is some child's toy!?"
Snapping her fingers, she cast a sigil.
Skyward, thunderous waters surged. Radiant arrays wove into a vast, hovering sea—each wave a coiled lightning serpent. Thunder clashed with crashing waves, shaking mortals below who cowered beneath heaven’s wrath.
"A masterpiece Kui Water Heavenly Thunder Formation", the White-Browed Elder acknowledged grimly, his envy sharper than fear. "But—"
"Now!"
His shout triggered the formation’s collapse. One node’s glow guttered. Xiao Furen’s pupils constricted. Below, a formation master—her junior disciple Liu Chi—stood defiant.
"Little Brother Liu! You’d betray us!?"
Once hailed as Divine Thunder Sect’s hope, Liu Chi had been nurtured like family. Now he shattered their defenses.
"Azure Thunder Gate is Shengxiao’s true lineage", Liu Chi declared, stepping forward. "This sect’s a sinking ship."
His voice carried a deal: infiltrate for Azure’s secrets, awaiting this moment.
"Excellent!" The elder laughed. "Liu Chi, henceforth you’re our elder. Now—"
The killing word died in his throat.
Before him stood Su Nu, her gaze slicing through him like autumn wind. Cracks spiderwebbed across his body. Then—explosion. Qi scattered. Life ended.
"Refining Qi Late Stage pawns", Lv Yang intoned through Su Nu’s body, "waste words. Send your Foundation Building elders."
Privately, Lv Yang calculated: If three Foundation Building experts appear, I flee. Karmic retribution isn’t worth this.
But the crowd’s panic wasn’t panic—more stunned disbelief.
"Dead! The elder’s dead!"
"Who is this!?"
A disciple finally screamed: "You killed Elder Qingting—the Immortal Alliance’s appointed elder! Qingting Patriarch will hunt you forever!"
Her problem, not mine, Lv Yang mused, seizing on another revelation. "Qingting Patriarch? Azure Thunder Gate’s Golden Core Sovereign?"
A thunderous voice answered: "Who Dares Kill MY Disciple!"
Miles away, a qi-formed figure hurtled toward them, shaking the island. Xiao Furen’s hope died—against the White-Browed Elder, her formation’s chance was slim, but a Nascent Soul-level Qingting? Hopeless.
So falls Divine Thunder Sect…
Then the figure arrived, unleashing a tidal wave at Lv Yang.
Lv Yang grinned. "Refining Qi Perfection? Bold move!"
He seized the attacker like a ragdoll. "Where’s your Foundation Building elders?"
Stunned silence.
"Qingting Patriarch… defeated by one hand!?"
Azure disciples collapsed midair, half-laughing, half-sobbing. Lv Yang studied his captive.
"Little Qing? Azure Thunder Gate’s patriarch?"
"T-This cultivator is Qingting! Please spare—"
"Your sect isn’t Golden Core!?"
"Ah—misunderstanding!" Qingting shook his head. Then proudly: "I recently condensed my Nascent Soul. Azure Thunder Gate’s now Nascent Soul tier!"
"Nascent Soul? You?"
Lv Yang finally noticed Qingting’s form—a qi construct, no flesh, core glowing with root-like tendrils.
This was Nascent Soul?
He recalled Chongguang True Man’s words: "Nascent Soul merges heaven’s truth and mortal essence—a divine union of fate and nature."
This was just refined qi.
"Nearly fooled me."
Lv Yang’s eyes narrowed. The familiar aura clicked—primordial qi? The Ten-Thousand Spirit Banner’s original master’s signature technique!
