Chapter 153 The Great Sun Burns the Night, Nine Dragons Descend Upon the Sky
The lingering power of the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder was immense; from afar, the sea of clouds was still filled with lightning and thunder, adding a touch of solemnity to the night.
The shattered purple mist dissipated into the sky, and where the moonlight fell, faint arcs of electricity flickered on the sea of clouds.
However, a murderous intent suddenly erupted!
The next instant, several figures suddenly appeared in the space around them.
The figure arrived silently without any spiritual energy fluctuations, clearly using a high-level concealment technique of the Dark Fragrance Pavilion assassins, intending to catch them off guard the moment they emerged.
The chill of death seeped out from every inch of cloud shadow.
Dozens of assassins, like ghosts, launched a fierce attack from the shadows of the clouds.
The short blade, imbued with a murderous aura, thrusts at close range, its edge devouring even the light in its wake, each strike deadly.
This is the signature silent killing move of the Dark Fragrance Pavilion, designed to plunge the enemy into eternal damnation without their knowledge.
The leading Heavenly Rank assassin appeared out of thin air three feet behind Li Jingyun.
The ink-black blade, coated with the poison of soul-devouring, approached Li Jingyun's nape, leaving no trace as the blade passed.
Everyone had anticipated that Anxiang Tower would launch a sneak attack, and now that they were facing a deadly threat, their cultivation levels exploded instantly.
The crowd's spiritual light soared into the sky like ten suns rising simultaneously, and all kinds of Taoist magic, supernatural powers, and magical treasures shone brightly at this moment!
The moonlight mark between Xia Yufei's brows shimmered, echoing the bright moon in the sky, and her aura suddenly surged!
It is clear that he forcibly increased his cultivation level using secret techniques in order to cope with the crisis.
The leader of the assassins' ink blades was only three inches away from Li Jingyun's nape in an instant; those three inches were the distance between life and death.
Li Jingyun's jade robe billowed as he looked back, not even raising his eyes. His figure burst forth with a shimmering light, like a brilliant star about to bloom.
"A fleeting moment of beauty!"
The Dragon's Roar Sword and the Dragon's Shadow appeared, and the high-pitched dragon's roar resonated through heaven and earth, clear and long.
But as Li Jingyun's sword flashed with a cold light, and in the instant he drew his sword, a dazzling array of light gathered on the blade.
The moment the sword light flashed, the assassin's figure seemed to pause for a moment.
That sword light was not merely the condensation of the Dao, but the sublimation of intent.
The sword light was like the first ray of dawn leaping out from the end of the sea of clouds, each ray of light dispelling the darkness.
The Heavenly Rank assassins of the Dark Fragrance Pavilion were instantly enveloped by sword light, and then completely disappeared, turning into countless shimmering fragments of light.
Those glittering fragments, like the splendor before the morning dew dissipates, drift away with the wind.
Li Jingyun's attack was even more powerful than the one he had delivered at Litian Cliff.
Li Jingyun frowned. This sword strike seemed to have annihilated him, but his soul had already escaped and could not be tracked down.
On the other side, another Heavenly Rank assassin from Dark Fragrance Pavilion emerged from the shadows.
This person's cultivation is even more profound, and he has never made a mistake.
At this moment, he materialized from the cloud shadows a zhang behind Xia Linxian, his figure even fainter, as if he had never existed, yet as if he were omnipresent.
The short sword, its brilliance concealed, silently pierced towards Xia Linxian. This strike froze space; it appeared slow, but was unavoidable.
Xia Linxian stood above the clouds, with twenty-four Zhenhai Pearls arranged in mid-air around him, forming a grand array, with the power of the five elements flowing within each pearl.
The celestial compass in his sleeve quietly turned, calculating the fate of heaven and earth, leaving all demons and monsters nowhere to hide.
Xia Linxian's eyes flickered with uncertainty as the Zhenhai Pearls began to arrange themselves into a mysterious combination:
"It startled the heavens above, terrified the netherworld below, and made even ghosts and gods weep!"
One of the nine great secrets of the Taoist temple, "The Weeping of Ghosts and Gods," suddenly appeared in the world!
A thousand-foot-long beam of mysterious light shot into the sky from the twenty-four pearls, condensing into a divine pattern of a dragon coiling around a pillar, connecting the heavens and the netherworld.
In an instant, the world changed dramatically. Thunder rumbled in the heavens and the earth shook in the depths.
Even from thousands of miles away, one could feel this terrifying fluctuation.
They had been fighting for a long time, and some curious onlookers had been watching from afar with their supernatural powers and treasures. They were all shocked at this moment.
The assassin's blade was only an inch away from Xia Linxian's heart, but it could not go any further.
His moon-shaped robe peeled away inch by inch in the dark light, as if time had reversed.
He watched as his hands vanished into nothingness, his eyes filled with terror, before his entire body turned to dust, but his soul still managed to escape within the terrifying light.
Xia Linxian frowned as well: "The Dark Fragrance Pavilion's escape methods are truly top-notch!"
The terrifying shockwave, after annihilating the nearby assassins, lingered, causing all the surrounding assassins to freeze in shock.
At the very front, Chenghao's entire body shone with golden light, like the sun shining brightly!
"Take this!" Chenghao roared.
Chenghao's vast aura, representing the third realm of martial arts, the Celestial Realm, exploded outwards, causing the hundred-mile-long sea of clouds to churn and surge, accompanied by the echoing wind and thunder.
The Xuanwu Dharma Body, hundreds of feet tall, stretched across the sky like a war god descending to earth, its body shimmering with three layers of divine light.
The mysterious and divine treasures, the Dao energy of the earth, are like a yellow dragon coiled around its waist.
The Purple Palace Divine Treasury is enveloped by the primordial spirit, which shines like a clear radiance.
The Xuanji Divine Treasury, the star trails are like ribbons of light surrounding you!
With the three divine treasures opened simultaneously, the power of heaven and earth flowed like a hundred rivers into the sea, converging into his physical body, achieving unity of heaven and man, and awe-inspiring power that shook the clouds and seas.
The profound essence of martial arts solidified, forming a unique domain.
Chenghao gripped the gun with both hands, unleashing the supreme Xuanwu True Skill. His eyes blazed with battle fire, and he uttered a powerful incantation that resounded like thunder:
"The Black Tortoise suppresses the world, the Great Sun burns the night, and Nine Dragons descend upon the heavens!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he thrust the Blazing Dragon Spear in his hand fiercely into the surging sea of clouds!
The Blazing Sun Dragon Spear is the most domineering of the Ten Great Spiritual Treasures of the Nine Provinces. Its body is forged from the core of the Blazing Sun Star, and its tip is tempered with the life fire of nine true dragons.
The moment the spear tip pierced the sea of clouds, a magnificent sun burst forth, as if the blazing sun had descended upon the world!
The golden rays of the sun shone brightly over hundreds of miles of clouds, and all shadows had nowhere to hide under the sunlight.
Nine illusory purple-gold dragons coiled and soared from the spear, their scales dazzling, their claws tearing through the air, their roars resounding through the heavens and carrying for miles.
The nine dragon phantoms surged wildly around the Dark Fragrance Pavilion, and wherever they went, everyone in the Dark Fragrance Pavilion had to avoid their sharp edge. Even those hidden in the void were forced to come out.
Many of the less skilled assassins from the Dark Fragrance Pavilion who didn't have time to escape were severely injured and forced to retreat.
Chu Tian stood in mid-air, his divine sword pointing to the sky. Purple lightning crackled around the Divine Night Sword, each arc of electricity a mark of heavenly tribulation.
His Dream Dao Heart Sutra merges with the Nine Secrets of the Dao Academy, and his aura flows between reality and illusion, sometimes like a thunder god from the heavens, sometimes like a phantom in a dream, making him impossible to grasp.
He pointed his sword at the sky, seven-colored lightning flashing in his eyes, and chanted incantations, each word like thunder.
"Seven tribulations to slay the dragon, punishing it on behalf of Heaven!"
One of the nine great true techniques of the Taoist Academy, the Seven Tribulations Dragon Slaying Technique, suddenly erupted!
Seven beams of light shot into the sky from the sword.
Red like raging fire, orange like lava, yellow like thick earth, green like a fierce wind, cyan like the aurora borealis, blue like weak water, and purple like heavenly thunder.
The seven tribulations merged into one, forming a purple-gold war dragon that stretched across the sea of clouds. The dragon's body bore the power of the seven tribulations, and each dragon scale was a condensation of the power of a tribulation.
The dragon's claws tore through the dark clouds, its tail swept across the sky, and wherever it passed, the void trembled.
The power of the Dream Path slowed down the movements of all the assassins, leaving them nowhere to escape.
The Seven Tribulations Dragon Slaying Technique's sharp edge crushed all enemies. Wherever the sword light passed, countless phantoms vanished into dust, the murderous aura dissipated, and the sea of clouds became clear.
Liu Yiyi, Qin Wan, Su Qingyuan, Ye Wei, Mo Yuan, Lin Yan, and Xia Yufei instantly formed a defensive battle formation for the Dao Academy, their minds connected and their spiritual power intertwined.
With a gentle wave of her slender hand, Liu Yiyi wove a shield of flowers that filled the sky, each petal a deadly threat, breathtakingly beautiful.
With a gentle wave of her Mountain and River Fan, Qin Wan conjured mountains and rivers within, instantly constructing a thousand-foot-high mountain with waterfalls cascading from its summit and clouds swirling around its waist.
Su Qingyuan released the dew-covered flower hairpin from her hand, which transformed into three thousand flying swords that surrounded her body for protection. The sword light flowed like autumn water, and each sword contained a sharp killing intent.
Ye Weihan drew her sword, like a cold star falling to earth.
Mo Yuan's dark eyebrows swept across the sky, like ink staining the long night; when the two swords clashed, starlight fell.
Lin Yantian used the array to lock the air, and the array patterns flowed, perfectly blending the auras of the six people.
Xia Yufei's long sword pointed directly at the moon, drawing down its radiance.
The seven forces combined to form an impregnable wall, firmly blocking the remaining assassins' onslaught.
Above the sea of clouds, everything was in an uproar. The immense fluctuations could be felt even from thousands of miles away. The mysterious traces of the Dark Fragrance Pavilion, hidden for thousands of years, were now completely exposed. Countless cultivators sent their divine senses to investigate the battlefield.
The silent killing blow of Anxiang Tower was completely crushed by the divine power unleashed by everyone. The group crushed Anxiang Tower's first direct confrontation with overwhelming force.
The clouds are bathed in divine light, and the vast sea of clouds transforms into a painting. Every cloud reflects the spirit, and the night is turned into day.
Above the sea of clouds, the unparalleled brilliance of several individuals is on full display!
A portly monk who had come from afar to observe the scene firsthand looked at the scene recorded on the image-recording stone in front of him, his eyes shining:
"We're rich! If we sell replicas of the commemorative stones recording this battle, they'll be a huge hit!"
"This is Qingzhou! The top talents from Zhongzhou and Shenzhou are joining forces against a common enemy—a once-in-a-millennium event! Keep fighting! Keep going!"
