Cultivation Starts from Farming Chapter 1099 - 463: Cloud Thunder Celestial Venerable’s Self-Destruction; Dao Essence Baptism

The colossal hand of war, like the wrath of the heavens, slammed down mercilessly towards the Nine Nether Elder.

Even before the hand arrived, the terrifying pressure that solidified space and annihilated vitality already made the bones around the Nine Nether Elder emit cracking sounds.

At the same time, the Canghua Divine Wood Sword, maneuvered by the Wood Spirit Avatar, suddenly tightened into a green wood sword prison.

Countless cyan sword threads, imbued with thunder and the Sword Intent of life and death, were like a net shattering the Nine Nether Elder’s defenses and soul body!

The military array suppressed; the Divine Sword slaughtered.

Xu Ping held nothing back, revealing all his trump cards, forming an absolute stance of crushing dominance.

"Pfft!"

The Nine Nether Elder could no longer endure it.

Under the combined slaughter of the colossal hand of war and the endless sword threads, his protective ghostly aura completely shattered. His emaciated body erupted with plumes of black mist, and even his emperor soul essence suffered violent shocks, emitting painful wails.

He was severely wounded, already on the brink of exhaustion!

"Junior!"

At the end of his rope, a trace of madness and extreme ferocity flashed in the Nine Nether Elder’s eyes.

He knew that if he didn’t escape today, he would truly fall here, and millennia of scheming would be in vain.

He suddenly grabbed the near-dying Divinity Transformation Nascent Soul of Cloud Thunder Celestial Venerable, which had been confined by his ghostly aura, and pulled it to the front.

The Nascent Soul had long dimmed, full of cracks, with its consciousness nearly extinguished.

"Explode!!"

The Nine Nether Elder forced a wisp of life essence Ghost Emperor Primordial Qi from his fingertip, injecting it into the core of Cloud Thunder Celestial Venerable’s Nascent Soul like a venomous snake.

The once dead-still Nascent Soul, at the instant of this essence infusion, swelled and agitated violently as if ice thrown into boiling oil!

The exuberant primordial Qi and even the life essence within it were forcibly ignited, compressed, and detonated in a bizarre and sinister manner by the Ghost Emperor Qi.

A destructive wave, turning the world pale and freezing the souls of the distant elders of Heaven-Suppressing Sect fighting the Divinity Transformation specters, surged out like a storm from the Nascent Soul of Cloud Thunder Celestial Venerable.

"Not good!"

The moment Nine Nether Elder pulled out Cloud Thunder Celestial Venerable’s Nascent Soul, alarm bells rang in Xu Ping’s heart.

When he sensed the destructive wave rapidly escalating within that Nascent Soul, capable of annihilating heaven and earth, his face changed dramatically.

The self-detonation of the Divinity Transformation Nascent Soul!

And it was triggered by Ghost Emperor Primordial Qi, far more potent than usual self-detonations.

He wanted to stop it, but it was already too late.

The thrown Nascent Soul approached as if teleporting.

"Protect the military array; defend with all your might!"

Xu Ping’s reaction was extremely swift, frantically urging in his mind.

Ten Star Meteor Battle Puppets instantly abandoned their attack stance, and the Military Array Power flowed and gathered at an unprecedented speed.

On the barrier, war runes flickered wildly, attempting to withstand the impending destructive impact.

At the same time, his own Nirvana Golden Body was fully activated, pale golden immortal Dao rhythm flowing beneath his skin, elevating his defense to its peak!

Just as the military array defense took shape in the next moment——

Boom!

It was like the primal roar at the creation of the world.

Or like the sound of the world’s end!

The forcibly detonated Divinity Transformation Nascent Soul of Cloud Thunder Celestial Venerable exploded thunderously.

The terror it brought was beyond words, as if billions of suns exploded simultaneously, engulfing everything in an instant.

First to bear the brunt was the area where Xu Ping stood!

The layers of blood and energy barriers formed by the Silent Extinction Army Array shattered and extinguished one after another before the overwhelming force of destruction.

The hardened shells of the ten puppets emitted squeaking twists and fractures.

The runes carved on their surface dimmed and shattered in large chunks, with sparks bursting from joint connections. Two of the puppets closest to the explosion’s center even showed evident cracks and deformation on their arms and legs.

The military array suffered damage!

Yet they ultimately withstood the impact, without sustaining fundamental harm.

And Xu Ping, under the military array’s core protection, remained physically unharmed, except for some turbulent blood and a shaken Divine Sense.

The defensive power of the Puppet Array and the Nirvana Golden Body was fully displayed at this moment.

However, the Heaven-Suppressing Sect’s mountain gate met its true doom in this cataclysmic explosion....

The array was destroyed.

The mountain gate, like being wiped clean by an invisible cloth, saw several spiritual peaks near the explosion’s center, along with the residual palaces and disciples atop them, instantly vaporized, vanishing without a trace.

More distant mountain bodies collapsed and disintegrated like sandcastles.

Countless disciples, whether in Qi Refinement, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, or Nascent Soul stages, were as insignificant as ants, unable to utter a scream before perishing body and soul.

The millennia-prosperous Heaven-Suppressing Sect, in this moment, utterly turned into the dust of history, a dead, silent ruin.

When the blinding light and all-consuming roar gradually faded, only Xu Ping was left standing alone in the sky.

Ten puppets surrounded him, their lights slightly dimmed, and some shells bore damage, but the core runes remained stable, the military array unbroken.

They only awaited subsequent repair and nurture.

He himself stood in azure robes, tattered in the energy storm, with a stern expression. His gaze scanned over the Heaven-Suppressing Sect reduced to scorched earth below, then looked towards the direction where the Nine Nether Elder fled, his eyes deep as a cold pool.

The Nine Nether Elder escaped.

Cloud Thunder Celestial Venerable perished body and soul.

The Heaven-Suppressing Sect... was annihilated.

In this battle, he had used up all his trump cards.

Yet the Nine Nether Elder still managed to escape.

His current pursuit abilities and escape techniques were still lacking a bit.
