As the Universe Turns - Chapter 1229
Chapter 1229 A Storm Is Approaching
As expected of Xiao Chen, just as everyone in Tianming Sect was delighted, layers of frost appeared on the faces of Qing Hong and Zi Lightning from the Heavenly Demon Sect. “It used to be a competition between disciples. Why don’t we add something different this time? What do you think of Elder Xuanming?”
At this moment, the noisy plaza immediately quieted down. Elder Xuanming waved his hand, signaling for Xu Hua to be taken down to heal. Then, he took a few steps forward and his gaze fell on the two of them. “I wonder what the two elders plan to do?”
Elder Purple Lightning sneered, “It is said that Elder Xuanming’s Xuanming Divine Art has already reached the ninth level of the Heavens. Today, the two of us are not talented, so we want to experience it. How about it?”
“This …”
Hearing this, many people in Tianming Sect were stunned. What exactly did the Heavenly Demon Sect want this time? The competition just now had clearly been lost, could it be that he still wanted to cheat?
The expressions on the faces of the elders also became serious. They were all guessing in their hearts, what were the true intentions of the two of them, Azure Rainbow Purple Lightning?
“Forget it, I will accompany you two to exchange moves today, but I’m not here.” Elder Xuanming took a few steps forward, while the other elders were stunned when they saw him accept the challenge, “Elder Xuanming …”
Elder Xuanming raised his hand. He knew that today’s battle was inevitable, but he couldn’t destroy Tianming Sect’s palace buildings, let alone Zhou Shan’s defensive formation. He said, “The terrain below is narrow. Why don’t you two follow me to the sky?”
“Alright.”
Qing Hong and Zi Lightning laughed coldly. As soon as they finished speaking, they formed a seal in their hands and suddenly transformed into two long rays of light, one blue and one purple. They flew into the sky.
Elder Xuanming no longer hesitated. He instantly transformed into a streak of light and flew up. Everyone below held their breaths. Clouds surged in the sky, and the three of them confronted each other like immortals. It was hard to imagine how intense the battle would be in the future …
“Elder Xuanming, please.”
Qing Hong and Zi Lightning’s eyes narrowed, and as soon as they finished speaking, they suddenly attacked Elder Xuanming.
The two of them saw a divine sword in Elder Qinghong’s hand. It was like a wandering dragon leaving the sea, causing clouds to surge and the heavens and earth to turn pale. The purple sword in Elder Zi Lightning’s hand pierced through the wind and lightning, instantly drawing down a burst of profound lightning and descending towards Elder Xuanming.
Even if it was a disciple below, he could feel the terrifying power coming from the sky at this moment. Fortunately, it was in the sky. If it was below, how many people would be affected?
Ten kilometers of clouds were instantly shattered in the sky. Elder Qinghong’s hands formed seals. Dozens of azure rays immediately flew up from his body and gathered on the azure sword. The entire sword immediately turned into a giant azure sword that carried the power to destroy heaven and earth as it slashed towards Elder Xuanming.
Facing such a divine sword slash, even though Elder Xuanming had the strength of the Nine Heavens, he did not dare to be careless. He raised his palms and the Profound Nether Qi immediately shot out like a waterfall, blocking the attack of the sword.
On the other side, Elder Violet Lightning found the right time and slashed towards Elder Xuanming without leaving any room for his heaven-shaking and earth-shattering sword that pierced through the wind and lightning, causing the clouds to surge in the nine heavens.
Seeing the two of them attacking at the same time, Elder Xuanming’s palm changed again. He waved his sleeves and gathered spiritual energy from all directions. In an instant, he formed a barrier in front of him and blocked the swords of Qing Hong and Zi Lightning with a “boom”.
Many people below were shocked. With the strength of one person, they were able to resist two people with cultivation comparable to their own. Elder Xuanming was indeed formidable …
After fighting for a while, the clouds gathered and scattered in the sky. Everyone below was dazzled. In the end, they only saw three rays of light fighting in the air, causing the clouds to surge endlessly for dozens of kilometers.
Slowly, the spiritual energy of Tianming Sect’s mountain gate began to condense. Qing Hong and Zi Lightning knew that this was not good for them. They wanted to end the battle quickly. They looked at each other and suddenly threw their swords. The two swords interweaved in the sky and instantly merged into one!
“Combination of two swords!”
Below, the elders of Tianming Sect were all shocked. They knew how powerful the combination of the two swords was. At this moment, the wind and lightning in the sky surged. The combined sword transformed into a hundred zhang long sword. It actually had the might to shake the heavens and slashed towards Elder Xuanming!
This sword strike was already close to the power of the Saint realm. Everyone below held their breath and looked at Elder Xuanming. Their brows furrowed deeply. At this moment, they also displayed the ninth level of the Xuanming Divine Art!
The sky was filled with wind and clouds. Suddenly, they gathered towards him. The originally bright and sunny sky became much darker. Even the sky seemed to have a huge black hole. Everyone was shocked. Was this Elder Xuanming’s Nine Heavens Divine Art? It was actually so terrifying …
“Drink!”
With a loud shout, it was clear that Elder Xuanming had pushed Genuine energy to his limit. The veins on his forehead were flawed and his figure seemed to have increased more than tenfold in an instant.
“Boom!”
There was a loud explosion. In the end, Elder Xuanming’s Nine Heavens Divine Art collided with the two swords of Azure Rainbow Purple Lightning. A powerful force almost tore through the void. Even on the ground, large amounts of dust were lifted up. Some disciples with lower cultivation were unable to withstand this terrifying force and were sent flying in an instant.
Looking at the two of them, the veins on their foreheads had already burst out. Sweat poured down like rain, clearly pushing their strength to its limit. However, at this moment, they were unable to face off against Elder Xuanming’s strength.
“Break!”
With a loud shout, Elder Xuanming’s body burst into a strange fire and his strength increased several times. The two of them were finally unable to withstand it and flew backwards. Even the hundred-meter-long sword was instantly knocked back to its original form. Following the two of them, it flew backwards.
“Elder …”
Everyone at the Heavenly Demon Sect was shocked. They didn’t expect that the two elders under the combination of the two swords would not be able to defeat Xuan Mingzi …
Looking at Elder Xuanming, he saw the strange fire burning his body just now. At this moment, there were many strange fire lines on his face. It was obvious that because of his excessive luck just now, his internal organs had been damaged. However, he was still trying to hold on.
When the two of them landed on the ground, dust rose up from the sky. As the dust flew, their faces turned pale and blood gushed out of their mouths. It was clear that the two of them had suffered heavy injuries from Elder Xuanming’s attack.
“As expected of the head of the Eight Pavilions Elders … Amazing! Let’s go!”
Qing Hong and Zi Lightning’s eyes were cold and fierce. At this moment, they no longer stayed any longer. With a flick of their sleeves, they brought everyone to the distant horizon.
On the other hand, everyone in Tianming Sect still felt as if they were in a dream. The moment just now, they still hadn’t regained their senses.
Only when Elder Xuanming descended from the sky did the disciples wake up from their shock and step forward to examine the elders’ injuries.
“Uh …”
Elder Xuanming’s face turned pale. Finally, he couldn’t help but gush out a mouthful of blood. The Cyan Rainbow Purple Lightning and the other two had already reached the ninth level of the Quasi-Saint realm. One could imagine that in the sky just now, he had almost risked his life to fight against the two of them.
“Xuan … Elder Xuanming …”
Seeing Elder Xuanming spit out blood, the rest of the elders in Tianming Sect were shocked. It had been so many years since they had seen Elder Xuanming hurt so badly. The sect master was in seclusion and could not come out. Elder Xuanming had almost become the pillar of Tianming Sect. If this pillar collapsed, the entire sect would collapse …
“Elder Xuanming … what should we do now?”
The elders were a little panicked. Obviously, they had a bad premonition that this matter would not be so simple.
Elder Xuanming clutched his chest, his face pale. He looked in the direction where the Heavenly Demon Sect members had left, and finally only said two words: “Seal the mountain.”
“Seal the mountain …”
Hearing these two words, all the elders present were shocked, while the disciples were confused. Sealing the mountain, what did sealing the mountain mean …
“Elder Xuanming … does this really have to be the case?”
The faces of the elders were filled with astonishment. After so many years of storms and storms, Tianming Sect had never issued a Mountain Sealing Order. Once all the defensive formations were activated and the Mountain Sealing Orders were activated, they would cut off all contact with the outside world at the same time, even Spiritual Energy.
This time, was it really so serious that the mountain was sealed?
The faces of the disciples were confused, while Xiao Chen looked at the surrounding mountain peaks. When he first arrived in Tianming Sect, he had noticed that there were extremely powerful defensive formations on the surrounding mountain peaks. However, these formations could not be activated easily.
However, even if he activated all the defensive formations and sealed the mountain, would he be able to withstand the attack of a Saint realm expert?
