Chapter 392: A Collision Across a Thousand Miles
Chapter 392: A Collision Across a Thousand Miles
The Dragon Leap Heavenly Virgin was a cultivation technique of the Reverting Void Realm.
Even at the initial stage, the consumption was terrifying to the point that Incarnation Cultivators found it hard to believe.
This was Shen Yi's first time using this technique with all his strength.
The effect was extremely evident.
After just a few breaths, he had traveled far away from Great Qian.
"..."
Shen Yi retracted the Nanyang Transformation Art, revealing his elegant black robe.
His breathing was slightly rapid.
He took out a Demon Core and put it into his mouth.
Since he had reached an uninhabited place, there was no need to hide anything anymore.
Earlier, he hadn't directly revealed his true identity because the situation was urgent, and in a life-threatening situation, if he had retracted the Nanyang Transformation Art and someone else had noticed, it would have seemed like a demon using some method to transform in order to protect itself.
It would have been difficult to explain.
Additionally, the Thousand Demons Cave's information channels were somewhat terrifying; even the Mystic Light Cave cultivators who secretly infiltrated Great Qian were found out.
This indicated that the Thousand Demons Cave might have cultivators as informants.
With so many people, it was hard to keep things secret.
Shen Yi wanted to keep the identity of the Golden-Eyed Lion Sovereign a little longer.
Although he also wanted Bai Hong's life, compared to the remaining treasures in the Thousand Demons Cave, the latter was more important.
With Nie Jun stationed in Song Prefecture, there shouldn't be any major problems.
Shen Yi took this opportunity to withdraw and do something else.
At this thought, Shen Yi looked towards Li Prefecture.
Just then, a thunderous roar sounded in his ear!
"Tsk."
Shen Yi turned his head and his expression instantly turned solemn.
At the horizon, a purple light appeared, quickly expanding at an unimaginable speed.
Could the Dao Palace Technique of the Zijiao Thunder Sword Palace actually chase him across thousands of mountains and rivers?
"Crazy."
Shen Yi frowned slightly, sensing the overwhelming pressure approaching.
Without any hesitation, he stimulated his spiritual roots, and the wandering essence between heaven and earth instantly gathered, gaining intelligence and forming a figure in the air.
White clouds transformed into a dense sea of blood.
On the offering platform cushion, a human figure sat, surrounded by crimson demonic power.
Nine ferocious Immortal Demons with hideous faces surrounded him, a dragon with its claws extended, a tiger lying on its side, a jade toad sitting upright... transforming a sixteen-zhang radius into a Demon Domain.
It was truly terrifying.
Infinite Demon Imperial Palace! Shen Yi's eyes deepened as he lightly raised his right palm, displaying the only Dao Palace Technique he mastered.
As he raised his palm, the nine Immortal Demons flew up together.
Roar—
The purple lightning finally entered the range of the Infinite Demon Imperial Palace, and in that instant, the raging purple lightning suddenly transformed into a crimson blood wave, which was then peeled off and merged into the figure above the offering platform at the horizon.
The blood wave dissipated, revealing a long sword resembling purple jade.
Without the support of the Zijiao Thunder, the power of this sword weakened by several times.
Shen Yi's black robe with golden patterns moved on its own without any wind.
The array symbols on it suddenly floated out, forming a spell formation suspended in mid-air.
Boom!
The purple jade long sword touched the spell formation, unleashing boundless waves of energy, instantly flattening the surrounding mountains by several zhang.
The vast lake abruptly disappeared by more than half.
Amidst the rumbling, the purple jade long sword shattered inch by inch, also transforming into demonic power that spread out.
"Hmm."
Shen Yi's breathing became slightly chaotic and heavy. He casually patted his waist, where his storage artifact was.
Several miscellaneous Demon Cores were swallowed by him directly.
After a brief moment of adjusting his breath, Shen Yi looked at the empty space in front of him. In an instant of silence, he used the Dragon Leap Heavenly Virgin technique again, heading towards Li Prefecture.
However, just as he turned around, a second purple light appeared at the horizon.
...
The Zijiao Thunder Sword Palace overlooked the earth.
Nie Jun stood on the Mystic Sword.
The lion's teleportation ability was so fast that even he couldn't catch up.
But unfortunately, his sword technique and Dao Palace Technique, once locked onto a target's essence, would never lose track, even if they fled to the ends of the earth.
Nie Jun stared silently ahead.
His eyes were filled with indifference.
The demons and monsters that fell under this gaze rarely survived; to date, no more than seven had lived to tell the tale.
Suddenly, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
According to Nie Jun's perception, the Zijiao Thunder Sword Technique he had unleashed seemed to have vanished, as if swallowed by an abyss, leaving no trace behind.
The life force of that lion, though faint, remained unchanged from before.
Nie Jun paused for a moment, then lifted his hand again.
The second sword technique roared out, leaving the range of the sword palace and continuing to rush towards that direction!
About ten breaths later, Nie Jun slowly relaxed his eyebrows, but the murderous intent in his eyes grew even more intense.
That lion seemed even more bizarre than his fellow disciples had described.
He waved his palms twice in succession.
Boom! Boom!
The Zijiao Thunder Sword Palace suddenly shook violently and began to crumble; even the throne gradually sank.
Nie Jun's expression remained unchanged, as if he couldn't see what was happening, and finally, he heavily swung his sleeve.
Another dense purple lightning bolt roared out.
Including the two previous strikes against the White Hawk Demon Sovereign, there were a total of seven sword strikes.
The Heavenly Boundary Dao Palace finally shattered.
As Nie Jun lowered his right arm, the mystic sword beneath his feet seemed to lose its support, causing him and the sword to fall downward.
Bang!
The wide green robe fluttered with his breathing, and Nie Jun fell heavily onto a large, uneven boulder.
He stared calmly at the sky and discovered that the lion's life force still survived, but it had disappeared in an instant, and he could no longer sense it.
Nie Jun smiled self-mockingly and slowly propped himself up. He kicked the mystic sword next to him, took out the wine and roast goose he had bought from the Eight Directions Dining Hall, and began to drink and eat by himself.
After an unknown amount of time, he finished his ninth roast goose and drank his twenty-third pot of wine.
Finally, a figure standing on auspicious clouds descended from the sky in a hurry.
A young boy with a tender face picked up the mystic sword from under the boulder, looked up in astonishment, then jumped high and grabbed Nie Jun's collar, roaring, "Are you crazy? Master said you're not allowed to leave Wutong Mountain!"
Li Qingfeng quickly noticed that his senior brother's energy was depleted.
He anxiously looked around, shaking Nie Jun's body frantically, "How dare you... How dare you do this to yourself? If a demon passes by, you'll be dead!"
Upon hearing this, Nie Jun finally put down the wine pot, feeling dejected and wanting to lie down. He mocked, "Then die."
Li Qingfeng's face was filled with shock, and he looked at him in disbelief, "I've wiped your butt for so many years, dealt with so many troubles for you, and this is how you repay me? With such a casual remark?"
He roared in despair, "Are you even grateful to me?!"
After saying this, Li Qingfeng took out a rope made of golden threads from his storage bag and panted, "Master told me to tie you up with this and bring you back. I even pleaded for you, but now it seems you really need to be taught a lesson."
Nie Jun didn't resist as Li Qingfeng tied him up.
Li Qingfeng lifted him from the ground, looking at his senior brother's nonchalant expression. After a long moment of shock, he finally asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"Nothing."
Nie Jun closed his eyes and said indifferently, "I'm just bored to death. It's not fun at all."
He was once a renowned killer, a madman who dared to infiltrate the Repository of Secrets alone. He thrived on danger and enjoyed the thrill of having only half a body left and still managing to escape with his life.
But after condensing the embryonic form of the Dao Palace...
It had been a long, long time since he had done something he truly enjoyed without restraint.
It was as if he had become a luxurious sword adorned with pearls and jade, forcibly sheathed in a sturdy and solid sword scabbard.
