Ji Mofan could fight him to a standstill, but no matter how he probed, Ji Mofan's spiritual power was only at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm.
The thought in his mind silenced him, and his fighting stance changed from defense to offense.
The clanging of weapons was faint and almost inaudible amidst the gradually amplifying thunder.
Ji Mo Fan did not engage in conversation with him, and the fight seemed to be entirely a venting of anger. He did not target his vital points, but rather left a lot of superficial wounds on his body, like scraping.
Qu Jin couldn't understand it, nor could he figure it out. Given Ji Mo Fan's strength, it was indeed the limit that he could inflict these superficial injuries on himself.
But when their weapons clashed, the difference in spiritual energy levels, though two realms apart, seemed to have no effect on each other.
What's most unbearable is why Ji Mofan could scratch him, yet he inexplicably couldn't even touch a single hair on the other's head.
He had already reached the late stage of Mahayana! He only needed one last tribulation lightning strike to ascend to the upper realm!
But now he's being beaten down by a kid who's not even thirty years old?
This is an utter disgrace!
In a bad mood, his moves gradually became erratic and reckless.
Ji Mofan was once again overwhelmed by his imposing aura, and took a defensive stance just as he was about to unleash a sword strike in a fit of rage.
"Clang!"
The two spiritual energies collided violently. One of them looked chaotic, containing not only spiritual energy but also demonic energy and monster power that had not been fully filtered due to the rapid absorption.
The other power, however, was so clear it was almost transparent, with wisps of white light surging within its cool blue hue.
The moment Qu Jin and Ji Mo Fan officially clashed, the unease surging in his chest reached its peak.
That white light looked somewhat familiar...
Last time, Ji Mofan had no choice but to draw out his own immortal bone to confront him. The immortal bone sword seemed to be wrapped in a white halo that felt similar to the touch.
Ji Mofan actually possesses the power of the Heavenly Dao!
No wonder he was able to fight to a draw with me, who was about to enter the Ascension Realm, even with his Nascent Soul stage body.
But... how is that possible?
Ji Mofan was just a mortal. The last time he was able to use the power of the Heavenly Dao, it was only after he destroyed a section of his immortal bones.
But now he looks perfectly healthy, and the sword in his hand is the same one he recognizes. There's no possibility that he's using someone else's immortal bone sword to fight Qu Jin.
Where does his Heavenly Dao power come from?
"Boom... Rumble..."
A muffled rumble of thunder echoed from the gathering clouds overhead.
Qu Jin immediately dismissed most of the thoughts in his mind.
Regardless of the power of Heaven, once this tribulation lightning strikes, not only Ji Mofan, but even the entire area within a hundred miles can be leveled to the ground!
No matter how strange Ji Mo Fan is, could he possibly break through the limitations of a mortal body?
Thinking of this, Qu Jin's anxious expression faded considerably, and he even withdrew his aggressive advance. His smugness, which he could no longer conceal, escaped from the corners of his eyes and brows.
"So what if you have a secret method to use the power of the Heavenly Dao? The power I have absorbed is already enough, and I can advance from the Mahayana realm to the Ascension realm at any time."
"At that time, not only you, but the entire world, will be determined by my mere thought, whether it is life or death."
"If I want you to, you can live in peace and prosperity; if I don't want you to, you can be reduced to ashes."
As Qu Jin finished speaking, even his facial features seemed to be distorted by his excessively happy delusions. All sorts of emotions were squeezed onto his face, making him look disgusting.
But just as he was immersed in his own fantasies—
The sudden change in shape of the tribulation clouds in the sky caused his expression to change abruptly.
The lightning tribulation has taken shape.
As the wind and rain gradually subsided, a soft laugh drifted over.
"Did you see clearly? This isn't the tribulation cloud that will help you ascend to immortality," Ji Mofan said. "This is the Heavenly Tribulation Thunder."
His main purpose in running in was to distract Qu Jin, inflame his emotions, and prevent him from focusing all his attention on the tribulation clouds above his head.
The later you discover something amiss with the tribulation clouds, the better.
After all, Qu Jin had gone through countless tribulations of advancement. Not to mention him, even Ji Mo Fan could notice the difference if he paid close attention.
While the Heavenly Tribulation is powerful, it also has its problems—once it strikes down, it won't change course, and the time required for its formation is extremely long.
Heaven didn't let him down, and all his efforts in dealing with this disgusting thing weren't in vain.
Qu Jin's expression was extremely ugly at this moment.
The smugness he had felt moments before had completely vanished, replaced by boundless anxiety and fear. He stared at the increasingly blinding lightning and thunder overhead, his terrified gaze shifting to Ji Mofan.
"Under the tribulation of heavenly lightning, even air and soil cannot survive." His voice was almost booming, and his tone was quite unpleasant. "And you're still staying so close to me?"
Perhaps driven mad by the sudden blow, Qu Jin suddenly laughed again, "To control the original body, are you willing to sacrifice yourself?"
"Very well! Very well! With such a talented junior as you buried with me, it's not such a tragic ending after all!"
Ji Mofan looked at him as if he were a fool.
"The tribulation hasn't even struck yet, and your brain's already broken?" His eyebrows were furrowed like a little twisted rope. "The Heavenly Dao has already allocated a wisp of its power to me, why do you think it will indiscriminately strike me down along with friend and foe?"
