This can’t be happening! His whip is only a Mid Supreme Grade magical treasure, not a Peak Supreme Grade treasure. Why does his whip contain such power!
Before he could figure out an answer, something happened which he could have never imagined!
When the nine cauldrons disintegrated into nothing, nine flashes of blood lightning like those of the Heavenly Tribulation found their way into Xiang Liao’s dantian. Without giving him time to react, each of them bombarded his Nascent Soul. At that very moment, Xiang Liao felt cold fear ran through his bones and the fine hair on his arms stood up!
His Nascent Soul was meticulously protected since he wore spiritual armor to protect his Nascent Souls. However, the defensive armor only managed to block the first flash of lightning and then got pulverized. The remaining eight pounded on his Nascent Soul in succession without rest. The tiny face on the miniature Nascent Soul had the same expression as Xiang Liao – eyes wide in horror!
What are these lightning?! My Peak Profound Jade Spiritual Armor can’t even withstand the first flash of lightning!
“Now I get it! This must be the secret art of attacking the Nascent Soul! It’s the special lightning technique of the Zhou Clan in the Internal Endless Sea! You really are from that clan! Detestable! Truly detestable! My Nascent Soul is already half-step away from becoming a Primordial Spirit…Even if it is struck by the lightning of the Zhou Clan, it is impossible to…. Argh!”
His Nascent Soul was now at its initial stage of becoming illusory, fusing the power of heaven and earth into it. He was at the verge of sacrificing his Nascent Soul into a bodiless Primordial Spirit, fortifying its defenses for more than a hundred times. In this manner, he wouldn’t have to be afraid of the Zhou Clan’s Nascent Soul Realm secret art of lightning pounding on his Nascent Soul!
But what happened next was still beyond his anticipation!
When the second blood red lightning blasted on his Nascent Soul, it inflicted a huge damage on him, making him cough a mouthful of light golden blood belonging to his Nascent Soul. His aura was deteriorating!
Xiang Liao hurriedly retreated, planning to weaken the lightning using the power of heaven and earth. However, before he could hold his feet steadily, the third flash of lightning struck!
Each of the strikes caused him to stagger a few steps backward, aggravating his injuries!
Once the last flash of lightning struck, his face was deathly pale and was coughing out blood incessantly. Doubtlessly, he was in a grievous condition!
He was completely bewildered that this blood red lightning whip was even stronger and ferocious than the secret art of the Zhou Clan!
What kind of lightning is that?! It’s not the lightning casted using magic techniques! Instead, it’s like the lightning that was forcibly taken from the Heavenly Tribulation!
Wait… Heavenly Tribulation?
When the two words surfaced in Xiang Liao’s mind, his eyes glinted in understanding.
*sucks in cold breath*
He now understood!
The reason that Zhou Ming’s Lightning Whip was so powerful was because he refined it using the lightning of the Heavenly Tribulation!
For common cultivators to experience the Heavenly Tribulation, they would either hide themselves from it or resist it face to face. But this Zhou Ming was even more fierce, he faced the Heavenly Tribulation of Lightning and obtained the lightning element to refine his weapon!
He is a true devil cultivator that chose the Path of Defiance! Cultivators like him only exist in ancient times!
Xiang Liao did not even have the slightest arrogance left in him! Now, he saw Ning Fan as the most formidable enemy in his life. He must not fight him!
At the face of Ning Fan, his pride as the old ancestor of the Xiang Clan became insignificant!
Face the Heavenly Tribulation and control its lightning… This person, I must not offend him!
“Let’s attack together!” His voice carried a hint of panic. He intended to order his subordinates to surround Ning Fan, giving him more time to flee. But the sixteen Nascent Soul Realm experts stood straight at their original spots like wooden puppets. None of them obeyed his order!
“Seal!” Ning Fan lifted his finger and performed Body Seal!
A silver light shone on the tip of his finger, forming a light circle which rippled in every direction, separating into innumerable threadlike rays of light. The limbs of the Nascent Soul Realm experts from the Xiang Clan were bound tightly, restricting their movement!
Shockingly, Xiang Liao discovered that his body was tied up by countless fine silver threads which were difficult to be seen with the naked eyes. It was why he could not move a single hair of his body! Even if he mustered all his strength to struggle, it would at least take him a single breath of time to break free from this technique!
The only way to free myself on the spot is no other than… self-sacrifice!
When everyone was sealed, Ning Fan changed his whip into the Separation Slayer Sword. He raised the sword to eye level and drew an illusory circle in the air!
This circle was like the circle of life. Smooth and swiftly, the circle was formed and a powerful sword qi surged on the tip of his sword. At the same time, every sealed expert including Xiang Liao felt excruciating pain in their hearts!
This was the Fourth Sword of his Nascent Soul, Heart Drawing Sword!
