Chapter 166: Breaking the Void, Great Harvest
The Great Elder raised his eyes to the sky.
Those extremely terrifying Heavenly Swords seemed to begin to become sparse and ordinary. It was not that the Heavenly Swords were really no longer worth mentioning, but that he now had enough confidence in his heart to treat the Heavenly Swords as nothing.
Xiang Tianxing tried his best to control the blood demon's remaining body and leap into the sky.
All the remaining blood mist power exploded at this moment. The blood demon roared continuously and finally turned into a blood-red arc.
"boom!"
After the deafening sound, the blood-colored arc consumed almost half of the Heavenly Sword. The aftermath spread around, making the already ruined Demon Sect's underground palace even more dilapidated and looking extremely desolate.
But the remaining heavenly swords will show no mercy and still come to suppress with astonishing power.
Ning Qi's eyes were filled with restrained golden light as he observed the blood bead in the Great Elder's hand. He pressed on step by step, forcing the Great Elder to take action. Now this level was just right, but he also needed to be cautious. At the same time, he also needed to further explore the mystery of the power of the blood bead. Although he had already watched it for a long time, it was still not enough.
The remaining Heavenly Sword is just a test.
Xiang Tianxing was almost suffocated, and he could only place all his hopes on the Great Elder.
The Great Elder's robe rolled up and his silver hair fluttered.
He was suspended in the air, holding a blood bead in one hand, as if on a pilgrimage.
He shouted suddenly, and the blood bead burst into light. An extraordinary force swept out and turned into a long rainbow, slashing towards the many heavenly swords.
Golden light shone brightly in Ning Qi's eyes, and his golden pupil that could see through illusions was operating at full capacity, observing this magical power.
"I have never seen such a wonderful power. Its essence seems to be no different from the power of heaven and earth, but the power it exerts is a world of difference. If you have to compare it, it is almost like cotton wool and steel! Not only that, it also has all kinds of mysteries, and it seems to be able to turn decay into magic!"
"This is... the power of the Martial Saint?!"
His heart was shaken.
As the blood-colored streak swept across, he seemed to hear wailing sounds of fear rising and falling in it. Some people unwillingly stretched out their hands, trying to struggle, but were forcibly dragged into the depths of the blood river. He seemed to see a blood-colored lotus rising and a mad demon laughing. All kinds of strange visions flashed by and were gone.
The Heavenly Sword wailed, it was the first time it encountered such a tough opponent.
The invincible Heavenly Sword was easily cut off by the blood-colored silk. Before, the Blood Demon was ruthlessly suppressed by the Heavenly Sword, but now the positions were reversed. The Heavenly Swords broke one after another, not because their power was exhausted, but because they were broken abruptly. There was a huge difference.
Ecstasy surged in Xiang Tianxing's eyes.
The Great Elder stroked his beard and smiled, this was all within his expectations.
The blood-colored streak turned upside down, and after shattering many of the Heavenly Swords, it only dimmed a little. The Great Elder's figure rose step by step, holding the blood bead in his hand, and for the first time he was level with Ning Qi. He said calmly:
"Master Tianjian, you are truly amazing. You are rare in thousands of years. You have surpassed the realm of heaven and man and are close to the realm of martial saints. But... you don't understand the power of a true martial saint after all! In front of such great power, no matter how evil you are, you have to bow down!"
He activated the blood bead, and the blood-colored streak's energy was replenished, suddenly bursting out with the same brilliant light as before.
Ning Qi exclaimed:
"It is indeed an incredible power! The Martial Saint Realm is indeed the realm that hundreds of millions of warriors yearn for!"
He did not hesitate to praise her, even though what he saw before him was just the power of the Martial Saint catalyzed by the Martial Saint's Secret Treasure, which was still extraordinary and far beyond the Heavenly Man Realm. This made him even more passionate about the Martial Saint Realm. If he could control such magical power, perhaps it would be the beginning of true immortality.
The Great Elder stared at Ning Qi:
"You slaughtered many powerful men of my Saint Sect. I should have annihilated your soul, but considering that it is not easy for you to practice, I will give you a chance. Relax your mind and let me carve a mark on you. You can live if you are at my service."
This is to recover the losses.
In this battle, more than forty powerful men in the Heavenly Realm died, and the Demon Sect's strength was greatly reduced.
But if one could enslave such a peerless monster, he could make up for most of the loss, and even make a profit. The deterrent power of a Heavenly Sword Master was enough to dominate Da Yan, unless Da Yan also used its foundation like the Blood Pearl.
Ning Qi would naturally not agree. After a moment of calm, another number of Heavenly Swords rose and fell beside him. He just sighed to himself:
"Unfortunately, you are not a martial saint."
This time, he had a rough guess about the true fighting power of the Martial Saint.
The Great Elder snorted coldly:
"You won't cry until you see the coffin. Well, let me show you the might of the Martial Saint again!"
With such power in hand, he felt confident and even a little inflated. He didn't mind at all that Ning Qi was recovering his strength. He wanted to crush the pride of Tian Jian Zhenren in front of him with an absolute crushing force and make him willingly serve him as a slave!
The sky sword came whistling and turned into a river of swords across the sky.
The Great Elder simply waved his hand, and a streak of blood slashed down with tremendous power like a heavenly sword.
Not unexpected.
The swords of heaven were all broken.
Even Ning Qi's face turned a little paler. After a series of battles, even though he had extraordinary strength, he had consumed a lot of energy. However, everything was still under control.
After two consecutive attacks, he had roughly figured out the true and false of this blood bead secret treasure.
It is not known whether it is due to the upper limit of the secret treasure or the Great Elder is only able to manipulate it in this way, but the upper limit of this blood-colored streak has been locked. Although the power to turn decay into magic is mysterious, it is still somewhat rigid. With the golden pupil that can see through delusion, Ning Qi saw the flaw in it.
The great elder shouted with a terrifying force:
"Submit immediately and I will spare your life!"
The Blood-colored Sky Sword slashed down again, and after being replenished with the energy from the Blood Pearl, it shone brightly again. Ning Qi felt a little distressed, letting the Great Elder squander it like this, and a lot of the Blood Pearl's energy was consumed. This was a mysterious power that needed to be used little by little.
He already regarded the secret treasure as his own.
Without the slightest hesitation.
Green light condensed on Ning Qi's body and turned into a treasured armor covering his entire body. Today, the Qingxuan body protection technique has reached perfection, far surpassing the previous Qingxuan treasured armor. Circles of green ripples spread out, and the blood-colored sky sword slashed down, but it encountered an obstacle.
It's like a knife cutting into a piece of taffy, and the force is constantly rebounding.
The Great Elder's expression changed slightly, he didn't know what kind of secret technique this was. He secretly marveled at the amazing methods of the Heavenly Sword Master in front of him. It was unheard of that a person in the Heavenly Man Realm actually had such a powerful combat power.
He was even more determined to take Tianjian Zhenren into his possession.
He used all his strength to activate the blood bead.
The blood-colored silk turned into a dragon, trying to wrap around Ning Qi and strangle him.
A crisp crackling sound was heard, and the green armor was about to fall apart.
But Ning Qi was not panicked at all.
There was a golden light in his eyes, and he saw the flaws of the dragon and python.
In an instant.
The Dantian vibrated, and the peerless sword energy that had been nurtured for two months suddenly "came out of the sheath"!
It was another supreme secret technique obtained from Zhuang Chen's innate sword bone, the innate divine sword energy!
Chant!
It sounds like the clear singing of a magic sword and the long roar of a real dragon.
What an amazing sword energy!
It looked ordinary, but wherever it passed, it revealed traces of terrifying black marks. Although they were extremely tiny, they were enough to make people feel terrified. It was a display of power that forcibly cut through the void!
Ning Qi stood with his hands behind his back, like a swordsman in the world.
Under the incredulous gazes of the Great Elder and Xiang Tianxing, the innate divine sword energy slashed the dragon's vital point, causing its originally monstrous power to suddenly drop and become even more shaky. This was Ning Qi's strongest trump card, and now he suddenly attacked and severed the connection between the Great Elder and the blood-colored streak with one sword.
"Ah!" The Great Elder spurted blood into the sky and his head seemed to explode.
The sudden change made him glare with anger and his heart tremble with fear. He tried his best to calm his mind and condense the thread again, but Ning Qi naturally would not miss this excellent opportunity.
The innate divine sword energy passed through the body of the blood-colored python. Although its power was slightly reduced, it was still invincible. The thin black marks made people's scalps numb.
“Martial Saint! How is it possible? How is it possible?!” The Great Elder looked at the black marks that tore through space as if he had seen a ghost.
The sword energy flashed and disappeared.
The fear on Xiang Tianxing's face froze on his face and turned into a bloody mist.
The Great Elder's left hand holding the blood bead was cut off at the root, and the sword energy suppressed it, sealing it in place. As for the blood bead, it flew into the air and landed lightly in Ning Qi's hand.
Ning Qi's calm voice sounded:
"It's a bit of a waste for such a treasure to fall into your hands."
He looked at the Martial Saint's Secret Treasure that was shaking endlessly in his hand and the blood-red streak that was spinning like a headless fly in the sky, with a fiery look in his eyes. His planning was worth it, as such a secret treasure finally fell into his hands.
The Great Elder was furious:
"Even if you get the Yuwang Pearl, it will be in vain!"
He wanted to provoke Ning Qi with this, but Ning Qi just smiled faintly.
"Yu Wangzhu? It seems that this item has a certain relationship with the previous dynasty, Great Yu?"
He mobilized the power of heaven and earth and began to resonate with the Yu Wang Pearl in a special way. Afterwards, the vibration of the Yu Wang Pearl began to weaken. Although it was not yet completely under control, it at least no longer repelled Ning Qi. Not only that, even the vibrating silk in the sky rolled back and rushed into the Yu Wang Pearl.
The Yu Wangzhu, which had been very dim, suddenly turned into a faint blood color.
"You've wasted so much of my Martial Saint power. If you weren't still of some use, I would really want to kill you." Ning Qi snorted coldly.
But the Great Elder had a dazed look on his face and did not respond, as if he had seen a ghost.
"How can you use the Yu Wang Pearl? You are also a descendant of Dayu? Why do you do this? Why do you want to kill each other with us? Why don't you work together to overthrow Dayan!" His hair was disheveled and his body was covered in blood. He couldn't bear this shocking blow and was already a little crazy.
Ning Qi shook his head and fell in front of him without explaining.
He just watched the Great Elder use the Yu Wang Pearl, not because he was idle, but because he wanted to observe the principles. The combination of Ning Qi's golden pupil and his understanding naturally made him successful.
at the moment.
The dust has finally settled.
Ning Qi and the Great Elder were the only ones left in the huge underground cave world; the rest had all died.
Ning Qi let out a light breath, and his tense spirit relaxed slightly.
Especially when the innate divine sword energy that he had nurtured was released, he felt an uncomfortable and empty feeling inside his body.
This was the toughest battle he had ever faced since he set foot on the martial arts path. Although he had not reached his limit and was not facing a life-and-death crisis, he had played all his cards. However, he also had a thorough understanding of his own strength.
"A giant like the Demon Sect with a profound background really should not be underestimated." Ning Qi sighed in his heart.
The forty-odd Heavenly Realm people in the old nest are powerful enough, not to mention the Blood Demon Formation and the Yu Wang Pearl. If it were anyone else, they would have capsized in the gutter long ago. It was only because Ning Qi's methods were amazing and could not be judged by common sense that he was able to have the last laugh.
"At this moment, the leader of the Demon Sect has not appeared yet. I think he is definitely not in the Wanyan Grotto."
Ning Qi never let his guard down, secretly sensing the movements around him.
But now the dust has settled. If the leader of the Demon Sect was still here, he would have taken action long ago. There is no point in waiting until all the powerful Demon Sect members have died before taking action.
"Where is the leader of the Demon Sect? I'm afraid it depends on the person in front of me."
Ning Qi stared at the Great Elder.
The purpose of this trip was to capture him alive and interrogate him about the Holy Pill. After many twists and turns, it took a lot of effort in the end, but fortunately the goal was achieved.
"You... who are you?" The Great Elder was still immersed in the astonishment of Ning Qi activating the Yu Wang Pearl.
But Ning Qi ignored him and just pointed his finger, and the strong energy sealed the elder's mouth.
He had an idea in his mind, and used the power of heaven and earth to resonate with the Yu Wang Pearl. Although he couldn't fully control it now and didn't have time to comprehend it in detail, he still had no problem using it in simple ways.
In an instant.
The blood mist floating in the underground world surged together.
These are the essence of power left behind after the previous blood demon monsters were blown up. There is a total of flesh and blood power of more than forty celestial beings. Even though a lot of it has been damaged, the remaining remnants are still considerable.
Ning Qi condensed it into a blood pill and put it away with satisfaction.
"When the Enlightenment Tea Tree completely consumes this blood pill, it will surely grow even more luxuriantly!"
He is in a good mood.
It can be said that this blood pill alone is a huge gain and the trip is worthwhile.
After doing all this, Ning Qi turned his gaze towards the Great Elder. At this time, the Great Elder finally came to his senses and realized what was about to happen. It was very likely that the Ghost Face fell into the hands of Tianjian Zhenren in this way and leaked a lot of information from the headquarters.
Although I don't know what kind of shocking methods Tianjian Zhenren has, I don't expect it to be so easy to overcome.
Ning Qi held the Yu Wangzhu in one hand and unlocked the seal of the great elder.
"Do you want to know my identity?" He smiled, and the mask broke into pieces, but it was still Ghost's face.
The Great Elder's eyes were about to spit fire as he watched the secret treasure fall into the hands of others:
"Your Excellency's strength is unrivaled in the world, but you still want to hide your head and show your tail. It will lose your identity."
Ning Qi chuckled:
"Okay, I'll fulfill your wish."
The Great Elder was shocked, and the Yu Wangzhu suddenly shone brightly, attracting his attention. Ning Qi's eyes turned into a deep vortex, covering him. There was no platform for self-examination here, and the Great Elder was at the highest level of martial arts, so it would be difficult to deal with him without a surprise attack.
Fortunately, Yu Wangzhu also played a certain role in shaking people's minds.
Ning Qi looked at the elder who was becoming increasingly dazed and let out a sigh of relief.
Next.
It's the interrogation phase.
Try to get as much useful information as possible. The first and foremost one is naturally the matter of the Holy Pill, and the rest are important information about the Demon Sect and the Yu Wang Pearl.
In the dark cave.
The two of them asked and answered each other, which seemed a bit weird.
I don’t know how long it took before I reached my limit.
The Great Elder was startled and came out of the soul-stealing state. He had a splitting headache. The backlash from the Yu Wangzhu had already made his mind scattered, and then Ning Qi's reckless soul-stealing and interrogation made him even more desperate. He collapsed on the ground, looking at Ning Qi madly, with hatred, fear, unwillingness, doubt and many other emotions emerging on his face from time to time.
Ning Qi sighed softly. If possible, he would like to give this peerless strong man some respect.
From the brief conversation before, it seems that this great elder can indeed be considered a great man. It sounds easy to say that one should not forget one's original aspiration, but how many people can do it?
Ning Qi waved gently.
The Great Elder was shaken into a blood mist, and then merged into the blood pill.
The entire underground world fell completely silent, with only him left.
He began to ponder the information he had just obtained.
First of all, of course, he was most concerned about the matter of Saint Dan.
"There is indeed a method of making holy pills in the Demon Sect, but the specific method is only known by the sect masters of all generations. It is said that this secret method of making holy pills is to refine the essence of the inner pills of many exotic beasts to condense holy pills, and then use secret techniques to forcefully break through the realm of martial saints."
"And even the Great Elder doesn't know where the Demon Sect's leader is in seclusion. Every year, strong men go to the Ten Thousand Flame Caverns to take away the accumulated beast pills. According to the Great Elder, the last time they came was a month ago. In other words, the next time they come to get the holy pills will be eleven months later."
Ning Qi felt helpless.
If the time was short, he could still sit back and wait here, but in eleven months, even a fool could realize that the Wanyan Grottoes headquarters had been taken over. There were so many special ways of contact within the Demon Sect that it was impossible for him to know them all in such a short time.
"Well, for now, the clue about the Demon Sect can only be shelved for the time being, but it is not a complete failure. At least we know that the progress of refining the holy pill is not as fast as we imagined. In addition, the destruction of the Demon Sect headquarters will definitely greatly delay their progress. It may take at least two or three years."
Thinking of this, Ning Qi's mouth curled up slightly.
This amount of time is more than enough for him to reach the state of perfection of heaven and man. By then, he can confidently say that he is comparable to the Martial Saint.
This battle in the Wanyan Caverns made him fully understand his own strength.
His current normal strength can only be said to be close to that of a Martial Saint, and when he uses his innate divine sword energy, he has the killing power of a Martial Saint.
But after achieving perfection in heaven and man, his normal strength will reach the level of Martial Saint!
In this way.
At least the threat from the Demon Sect has been greatly weakened. As for the southern border, take it slow. After the Demon Sect is gone, they will inevitably be greatly affected and the threat level will be reduced. Overall, this raid on the Demon Sect headquarters was very effective.
Except for the matter of Saint Dan.
What we learned from the Great Elder was some secret information of the Demon Sect, including some treasure books from the headquarters, the locations of various branches, some important secret signals, etc.
Ning Qi's eyes flickered:
"This information is also crucial. Although I blocked the lair and killed forty Heavenly Realm warriors this time, there are still many powerful warriors left in the Demon Sect. Maybe... I can go fishing!"
A bold idea came to his mind.
Use the communication signals between the Demon Sects to summon back the Heavenly Realm of the Demon Sect, and then kill them with thunder, which can save a lot of effort.
"If we clean it up once more and then inform the imperial court of the locations of the remaining Demon Sect branches, at least 95% of the Demon Sect's power can be eliminated. It won't be that easy to collect the inner cores of exotic beasts anymore, and the threat of the Demon Sect can basically be eliminated."
But Ning Qi did not act immediately.
He needs to refine the Yu Wang Pearl first.
Just now he asked the Great Elder again about how to use the Yu Wang Pearl, and combined with his own understanding, he roughly understood the usage and purpose of this secret treasure of the Martial Saint.
The Heavenly Man Realm can only be simply controlled with the help of some techniques, and only by truly stepping into the Martial Saint Realm can one gain complete control over it.
As for the uses, the Great Elder currently knows only two of them.
One is the storage function, in which there is a space for storing dead objects. This function can be achieved by the resonance of the power of heaven and earth.
The key is the second function, which is the condensed power of the Martial Saint that Ning Qi had seen before!
But this feature is a bit demanding to use.
Ning Qi thought:
"The key lies in those servants of the Demon Sect. In fact, these people are not servants captured at random. Looking back in time, their bloodline source is the Great Yu royal family of the past. However, they gradually became side branches and eventually became servants. They were kept here by the Demon Sect's high-level officials. The critical moment is to activate the nutrients of the Yu King Pearl."
"It's just because this Yu Wangzhu seems to have been linked to the bloodline of a martial saint from Dayu before."
He looked at the blood-red Yu Wangzhu in his hand and felt a little emotional.
Fortunately, Yu Wangzhu has been "charged" and he can use it directly, but when the power is exhausted, he may not be able to condense the power of a Martial Saint anymore.
"However, using the blood of the Great Yu royal family to activate the Yu Wang Pearl is definitely not the only method. Now that the Yu Wang Pearl is in my hands, I have plenty of time to study it slowly. If I can deduce a method that does not require the medium of blood, then I can truly turn this secret treasure into my strength!"
“By then, even if I haven’t reached the state of Heavenly Man Perfection, I will have the confidence to fight against the Martial Saint!”
Ning Qi is confident about this.
While thinking, he flew above the ruins of the underground palace.
He waved his hands from time to time, uncovering pieces of wreckage. Under the shock of the previous battle, most things had been reduced to dust, but some precious items, treasures, and books were still well preserved. Some of them were of very hard texture, while others were protected by various barriers.
Among them are the Blood Demon Flowers that were carefully cultivated by the Demon Sect’s Dead Fire Abyss branch. There are five or six flowers here, and most of them are mature.
This is a peerless treasure that can allow even the strong men in the Heavenly Man Realm to improve rapidly. At the beginning, after swallowing one of these, Old Demon Lin ran for two days and two nights with his seriously injured body, and finally arrived at Zhenwu Mountain, where he was severely injured by a sword from Ning Qi.
And now, all of it has benefited Ning Qi.
"Swallowing these blood demon flowers can greatly reduce the time it takes me to condense the flower of essence." Ning Qi smiled.
His amazing perception was constantly exploring, and treasures flew out one after another. Some were magical weapons, some were peerless treasures, some were elixirs, and some were secret techniques passed down from generation to generation. Those that could be preserved intact in such a great battle were not ordinary items.
Ning Qi felt the space inside the Yu Wang Pearl becoming increasingly full, and he couldn't help but feel even happier.
This time, it was a great harvest.
