Chapter 348: Heavenly Wrath Five Thunder Sword Technique
Chapter 348: Heavenly Wrath Five Thunder Sword Technique
Within the vast Immortal Mansion, a deafening rumble reverberated, shaking the surroundings.
The thick clouds that filled the sky were swept away.
A heavy bronze bell tumbled towards the ground, but just as it reached halfway, a majestic figure enveloped in overwhelming demonic energy swiftly approached it.
With a powerful arm, the figure struck the bell with a mighty force!
In an instant, an even deeper bell chime echoed throughout the mansion.
Amidst such a startling commotion, the fleeing cultivators slowed their pace, their faces filled with intense fear.
No wonder there was no major demon attack.
It turned out that Zhang Xuanyan had encountered a formidable opponent.
The bronze bell was a well-known treasure, easily recognizable by anyone.
On the contrary, the demon caused the cultivators' legs to turn weak, and their eyes also revealed a hint of confusion.
Such a towering lion demon, with its dazzling golden eyes, was undoubtedly the Golden-Eyed Lion Sovereign.
However, this lion was only the Demon Sovereign of the Forty-Fourth Cave, so why was it forcing Zhang Xuanyan to summon the bronze bell to protect himself?
It was common knowledge that although Zhang was cunning and ruthless, lacking the virtues of a high-level cultivator, his cultivation base was undoubtedly solid.
The fact that the opponent could rival Qingfeng True Person meant that unless a Demon Sovereign from the top twenty caves intervened, it would be challenging to find a solution against him.
Could it be that another demon comparable to a Profound Spirit Late Stage cultivator had emerged from the Thousand Demons Cave?!
As this thought crossed their minds, everyone felt a chill down their spines.
The cultivators' relatively peaceful lives were due to the three-way alliance that kept the Thousand Demons Cave in check.
When it came to the Profound Spirit Late Stage, even a single additional demon at that level could potentially disrupt the entire stable situation.
Fortunately, the Golden-Eyed Lion Sovereign seemed to have no interest in this group of minor cultivators, only aggressively ramming into the bronze bell, causing demonic energy to ripple across its surface, leaving destruction in its wake.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
Ancient trees, which had grown in the mansion for countless years, collapsed one after another.
The cultivators were shaken by the bell's reverberations and the lingering demonic energy, their faces turning pale as they fled through the mountains in panic.
"Enough!"
A furious roar emanated from within the bronze bell, "Cease at once, or face my wrath!"
Shen Yi indifferently pressed his palm down, his fingers denting the bell's surface, and then he forcefully smashed it into the ground.
As the bell shattered the mountain peak, a cloud of dust rose into the sky.
He slowly regulated his breathing.
Indeed, this turtle shell was incredibly tough.
With his body tempered to a level almost reaching the Profound Spirit Late Stage, he struck with all his might, yet only managed to create a few small pits on the surface.
"Don't think that I'm afraid of you."
The bronze bell stood upright on the ground.
At this moment, Zhang Xuanyan was both anxious and furious, but he forced himself to suppress his emotions.
His long whip was incredibly vicious, and even with his Dharmic Robe protecting him, he couldn't withstand more than a few strikes. Moreover, its length was adjustable, making it perfect for tracking and sensing, countering his teleportation technique.
Regardless, he must not leave.
With this in mind, he decisively closed his eyes, "I have all the time in the world to sit here with you, wasting your energy."
Shen Yi hovered in the air and slowly descended.
After a moment of hesitation, he still did not draw out the Dark Tail Spear.
Although he had refined this divine weapon, severing its connection to the Youwei Demon Sovereign, using it at full power carried the risk of being detected.
Although they were inside the Immortal Mansion, it was still deep within the Thousand Demons Cave.
Unless absolutely necessary, Shen Yi did not want to take any risks.
After considering this, he casually sat down next to the bronze bell, opened the panel, and continued to study the Heavenly Wrath Five Thunder Sword Technique, which he had not finished earlier.
[Silverback Ape King, Profound Spirit Realm, total lifespan of 85,000 years, remaining lifespan of 34,000 years, absorption complete]
[Bone-Eating Bear King, Profound Spirit Realm, total lifespan of 62,000 years, remaining lifespan of 15,000 years, absorption complete]
[Remaining Demon Lifespan: 100,000 years and 3,000 years. Can be condensed.]
At this moment, with his accumulated power surging, Shen Yi's state of mind became much calmer.
The Heavenly Wrath Five Thunder Sword Technique was not originally a demonic cultivation technique, but due to insufficient spirit roots, he had to find an alternative method.
Using the Golden Thunder White Jade as the main spirit root, and with the aid of the other four spirit roots, he forcibly linked them together with the power of the Malevolent Qi.
Aside from this, the overall concept of the cultivation technique remained unchanged.
It was still the Divine Heavens True Thunder Sword Technique.
So, he only needed time to experiment, and it was unlikely that anything would go terribly wrong.
"..."
Zhang Xuanyan sensed the movement outside and noticed that the lion was sitting next to him, looking relaxed as if it had him right where it wanted.
The anger he had just suppressed rose again.
"Vile Beast! Vile Beast!"
This lion seemed different from the demons he had encountered before.
Its every move exuded immense pressure.
But he still didn't believe that the lion could break through his precious bell.
"You're overestimating yourself."
"If you have any other tricks, show them! Don't put on this act and make a fool of yourself!"
The noisy sounds from within the bronze bell couldn't make Shen Yi flinch.
He quietly gazed forward, and his vision was filled with constantly flashing prompts.
As the life force of numerous demons was consumed, the cultivation technique gradually made new progress.
【After 10,300 years, when you performed the sword technique, you successfully connected with the third spirit root. The True Yang Qilin Stone went into a frenzy, adding a crimson glow to the magic sword.】
One by one, the spirit roots quickly linked together.
Until they became one, simultaneously empowering the magic sword.
Shen Yi could finally continue advancing to the next realm.
Decades of thousands of years passed.
The last two prompts appeared before his eyes.
【After 36,000 years, you have finally integrated and comprehended this technique, reaching the state of perfection. The Azure Deer Ancestor also understood why you said there was no need to worry. With the assistance of that long and endless life force, even if you were cultivating the most supreme technique in the world, there was indeed nothing to be concerned about.】
【Divine Transformation. Heavenly Wrath Five Thunder Sword Technique (Treasure): Perfection】
"You..."
Zhang Xuanyan cursed until his throat went dry, but suddenly, the lion stood up, "What are you up to?"
Although he didn't believe the lion had any more tricks.
But this sudden change still made Zhang Xuanyan's heart skip a beat.
He focused his senses on the outside.
His entire expression became somewhat dazed.
He saw the demon stretch out its palm, and instead of violently smashing it, it calmly...formed a hand seal?!
Absurd! He couldn't believe what his spiritual sense was showing him.
Even he hadn't used his cultivation technique yet, and a demon had already started to manipulate the heavenly Qi.
What made it even harder for Zhang Xuanyan to accept was that at this moment, the sky suddenly turned dark.
The auspicious clouds transformed into a thick, ink-like blackness, with flashes of lightning and thunder, and raging winds.
From the thundercloud, a sword like a precious jade, with a mix of green and red, slowly descended.
The sword was surrounded by black thunder infused with Malevolent Qi.
When the entire sword emerged from the clouds, it was as if a pair of sinister eyes were staring down at the location.
An immense aura enveloped the area below.
Even through the protection of the precious bell, Zhang Xuanyan was stunned, his eyes wide, and his breathing rapid and heavy like a broken bellows.
Not only demons, but even within the Xuan Guang Cave, he had never witnessed such profound techniques.
"..."
Shen Yi pondered for a moment, then formed a sword finger and casually pointed, "Sever."
Along with his words.
A restless black thunder light instantly connected the magic sword and the bronze bell.
Crack! The black thunder vanished in an instant, and the magic sword also disappeared.
The sturdy bell, which even Shen Yi's full strength couldn't break, shattered into countless fragments the moment the sound rang out.
Zhang Xuanyan maintained his posture of looking up.
But a hole appeared in his chest, and his Dharmic Robe tore open, revealing fine cracks on his skin.
Then, it peeled off, turning into pure heavenly Qi that surged into the now clear sky.
The entire sky was painted with a gorgeous pale golden hue.
