Sect: Starting with Comprehending Thunder Skill Chapter 1355 - 578: Slaying the Nascent Soul Master
Previously on Sect: Starting with Comprehending Thunder Skill...
"Splash!"
In an instant, countless bronze chains shot up from the fissures on the seabed, the ancient demon‑suppressing spells carved upon them flaring with blinding golden light.
The chains wove through the seawater like spirit snakes, accurately coiling around every enemy who tried to flee.
A Golden Core Realm Elder sacrificed his Lifebound Flying Sword, intending to sever the chains, but the moment the sword touched them, it was swallowed by the golden script and ground into dust.
The many other Golden Core Realm Cultivators were also injured and slain by the dual Arrays and the endless Restrictions!
This wasn’t because the people of the Celestial Net Dao Sect were weak!
As the ocean overlord of the ancient era, the Water God Palace contained far too many Restrictions and Arrays, all terrifyingly powerful—simply not something they could handle!
Just like in the Shenxiao Dao Sect—even if, someday, the Sect were to decline.
Just the dense maze of Restrictions within the Shenxiao Mountain Range would be enough that any Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator who came would be blasted into dust!
This is heritage!
The heritage of the Water God Palace—killing a Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator, dozens of Golden Core Realm Cultivators—is no different from crushing a bunch of ants.
"Damn it! Beast of the Shenxiao Dao Sect, if you’ve got guts then fight me head‑on! Hiding behind Arrays and Restrictions—what kind of skill is that?!"
Though that Nascent Soul Master’s Nascent Soul Power was sealed, he still relied on his deep foundation to barely hold on.
He frantically circulated the remaining Mana in his body; the True Essence around him condensed into a Shield, attempting to resist the chains’ binding.
"Heh heh! I’m only at Golden Core Realm Second Heaven Cultivation—what would I use to fight you head‑on?"
"Did you cultivate yourself stupid?"
"You want a duel with me?"
"Are you out of your mind?"
However, how could Li Yunjing give him any chance to catch his breath?
He controlled the Water Virtue Pearl, stirring all the seawater in the Water God Palace into a gigantic vortex; the twisting force of positive and negative rotation swept all enemies into it.
The seawater carried a terrifying tearing force, relentlessly battering everyone’s defenses.
"Tidal Annihilation Array—activate!"
Li Yunjing issued another command.
The walls surrounding the Water God Palace roared open; the outer Shield, riddled with holes, let the surging seawater flood in like a sluice gate being lifted, forming two massive tides rushing toward each other.
When the tides collided, they generated a terrifying power enough to rip space apart.
The Cultivators of the Celestial Net Dao Sect, under the impact of this power, were like leaves in a gale, screaming as they were torn to pieces.
"I’m not willing! I never thought that after I, Lü Wenbo, bitterly cultivated for twelve hundred years and broke through to the Nascent Soul Realm, I’d actually die in the hands of a piece of trash like you!"
That Nascent Soul Master exerted himself to the utmost, struggling desperately within the gaps of the tides.
His gaze toward Li Yunjing was filled with venomous hatred!
Lü Wenbo had never imagined that when he led people into the Water God Palace, this beast Li Yunjing would have already seized control of the Water God Palace ahead of time, using Restrictions to stab him in the back!
His heart was full of boundless resentment; the hatred between him and Li Yunjing was deeper than the sea, higher than the mountains!
"Sss!"
But how could Li Yunjing possibly let him escape?
He let out a cold laugh, already disdaining to waste words on this madman.
When Golden Core Realm and Nascent Soul Realm Cultivators fight, if they don’t rely on external power, what else would they rely on?
He cast the Celestial Secret Technique, divining the Celestial Secret and precisely locking onto Lü Wenbo’s weak point, then urged the Thunder Tribulation Divine Fist—fists wreathed in Thunder Power and Water Virtue Law shot toward the man like meteors.
With a deafening "Boom!", the Master’s Shield shattered under the force of several powers, and Li Yunjing’s fist punched straight through his chest.
"No..."
Lü Wenbo let out an unwilling roar; his body was gradually ground away by the combined ravaging of thunderbolts and seawater.
As for the other Cultivators of the Celestial Net Dao Sect, they had long since been almost entirely slain by the various Arrays and Restrictions.
The seawater was dyed red with blood; severed limbs, broken Magical Treasures floated about—the several dozen who came from the Celestial Net Dao Sect had been utterly annihilated here.
Li Yunjing’s side hadn’t spent even the slightest bit of effort.
If not for the fact that he wanted to savor the feeling of personally ending a Nascent Soul Realm expert, he wouldn’t even have needed to strike with the Thunder Tribulation Divine Fist at the end!
"Vice Sect Leader Li is invincible!"
Xu Xun stood to the side, watching Li Yunjing control the Arrays, effortlessly slaughtering everyone from the Celestial Net Dao Sect as if using his own limbs; his heart was filled with shock and admiration.
He was truly convinced!
Completely convinced!
There was no way not to be convinced!
Xu Xun had been in the Sect for many years, and had tempered himself in the Immortal Cultivation Realm—when had he ever seen someone like Li Yunjing?
Forget Li Yunjing’s level—even a third of such a person, he had never seen!
For the Shenxiao Dao Sect to have someone like Li Yunjing was simply heaven’s blessing upon the Sect!
Li Yunjing put away the Water Virtue Pearl, glanced at the devastation all around, a cold sharpness flashing in his eyes: "Celestial Net Dao Sect, this is only the beginning."
He turned and said to Xu Xun, "Clean up the battlefield. We’ll continue exploring the Water God Palace—there are definitely more gains waiting."
With that, the two of them began to tidy up the battlefield; once all the Celestial Net Dao Sect’s belongings had been gathered, they headed deeper into the Water God Palace.
Following a corridor lined with coral and pearls, as they went deeper, the Water Virtue Pearl in Li Yunjing’s hand suddenly trembled violently, guiding the two to turn into a hidden alleyway concealed by a wall.
Using the Water Virtue Pearl to open a secret door, three ancient bronze gates suddenly appeared before their eyes.
On the gates were respectively carved three seal characters: "Treasure Vault," "Scripture Pavilion," and "Spirit Garden," with faint Restriction light still flowing through the patterns where seawater had washed over them.
"Open the Scripture Pavilion first!"
Li Yunjing’s gaze burned.
He pressed the Water Virtue Pearl against the gate; the blue light within the pearl resonated with the patterns on the door, and the entire bronze gate roared open.
