Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record
#57 - Chapter 57 Crisis
Even someone as powerful as Ling Xiao had to sigh in the face of the demonic onslaught.
The Heavenly Devil Abyss claimed to be demonic cultivators, but in reality, they were still an orthodox Daoist sect. Only some Core Formation cultivators and a few Foundation Establishment cultivators and below consumed turbid Qi and practiced demonic techniques, resulting in some degree of obsession. However, they were no different from the eccentric individuals in the Daoist sects. How could they compare to these true demons!
Especially that Nascent Soul Stage late-stage异魔 (Yimo/Otherworld Demon), who possessed both ruthlessness and cunning. The tenacity of its mind and the power of its methods far exceeded Ling Xiao's expectations.
Faced with this situation, the cultivators had only two options: either use their trump cards in advance, using powerful lightning techniques or lightning talismans to eliminate a large number of demons, preventing the Nascent Soul Stage异魔 from continuing to grow stronger; or take a gamble, waiting for the low-level异魔 to die out before engaging in a desperate battle with the strongest ones. Clearly, this was a situation deliberately created by the Nascent Soul Stage late-stage异魔, a calculated scheme designed to counter Qi Tianxiang's Heaven-Shaking Lightning Technique.
"Real Person Qi, the situation is truly unexpected. I wonder if you have a way to break this deadlock?" Ling Xiao pondered again and again, and had no choice but to ask Qi Tianxiang.
Qi Tianxiang had a plan in mind, but had been weighing the pros and cons. He said ambiguously, "Mountain Lord Ling, Qi does indeed have a way to break the deadlock, but if I use all my trump cards and lose my reliance, I'm afraid I won't dare to enter the '芥子空间 (Mustard Seed Space)' again."
"Real Person Qi, whatever conditions you have, just state them." Since Ling Xiao had spoken, he had anticipated this, so he didn't care much.
"It's still what I said before: after entering the '芥子空间', Mountain Lord Ling must not actively attack the cultivators of my sect," Qi Tianxiang said.
Ling Xiao pondered slightly and said, "How about this, Real Person Qi? If you can promise me that after entering the '芥子空间', you will not destroy its array foundation and central hub within seven days, then I can promise that whether in the '芥子空间' or the Void Demon World, I will not actively attack the cultivators of your sect."
Qi Tianxiang replied, "If the Void Demon World remains stable, Qi can agree to the seven-day limit. If the Void Demon World is unstable, then this agreement will not count."
Ling Xiao smiled and said, "Then it's settled. Let's make a Great Dao Oath to each other."
This was the obvious intention, and the two did not delay, immediately making a Great Dao Oath to each other.
"Real Person Qi, please tell me, how will you break the deadlock, and how does my Devil Abyss need to cooperate?"
"Qi's method is very simple. I will go all out and use lightning techniques to destroy the demons. All these mere tens of thousands can be wiped out. However, those high-level异魔 will not sit idly by and will definitely come out to obstruct me. At that time, I hope Mountain Lord Ling and the other two Real Persons will lend me a hand and stop them."
"If the strongest異魔 appears, then it will depend on Mountain Lord Ling's abilities. As long as you can trap it slightly, Qi has a lightning talisman that can directly and completely erase it. Of course, if Mountain Lord Ling and the two Real Persons can drive all the high-level異魔 to one place, then Qi's talisman will be enough to annihilate them all in one fell swoop!"
"In that case, we will have to trouble Real Person Qi!"
Qi Tianxiang whispered a few instructions to Wu Yuankui and the others, and then sacrificed his natal magic treasure, the middle-grade magic treasure Profound Lightning Ruler. This was his natal magic treasure that he had re-refined after entering the Nascent Soul Stage and practicing the Divine Firmament Lightning Technique, specially used to cast Divine Firmament Heavenly Lightning.
This ruler was one foot three inches long and one and a half inches wide, and its entire body was as black as ink. It was refined from Profound Lightning Stone, which was naturally compatible with lightning power. After the refining was successful, the quality of this ruler was still low-grade. Qi Tianxiang risked the danger of falling, and specifically looked for a place where heavenly lightning frequently occurred, guiding the power of lightning into his dantian to nourish this ruler and cleanse its impurities. Finally, in thirty years, he raised it to middle-grade.
The Profound Lightning Ruler hovered in the air, and as Qi Tianxiang's magic incantation changed, it began to generate strands of lightning power, constantly flickering and spreading in the darkness. This was one of the most classic spells in the Divine Firmament Lightning Technique - "Heavenly Lightning Silk Rain", which meant releasing lightning like silk and pouring it down like rain.
The silk-like lightning became more and more numerous, and in a few breaths, it had already covered the sky for several miles. The异魔 below, even in a state of frenzy, couldn't help but stand still when they suddenly saw this strange scene, and the original continuous offensive stagnated.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Qi Tianxiang lightly shouted and recited a series of incantations, triggering some mysterious power. A loud "boom" was heard in mid-air, and the cloud-like lightning silk suddenly shook, and then struck down like countless whips, scattering countless 异魔 into oblivion, and swept across like a broom woven with electric light, wiping out countless 异魔 like dust. With just this one blow, more than a thousand 异魔 were completely annihilated.
Seeing that this move was effective and very easy to use, Qi Tianxiang exhausted his mana and continuously poured it into the Profound Lightning Ruler. The "Heavenly Lightning Silk Rain" accumulated, evolved, and was cast again and again. After repeated ten times, the lightning power was as vast as the sea, and the electric light was continuous, sweeping away tens of thousands of 异魔 around the Xuantian Sect cultivators like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves. The area within a few miles was as clean as if it had been washed by a flood.
Those 异魔 who were surrounding the Heavenly Devil Abyss cultivators, and those who were still four or five miles away, were all frightened by the sudden change. The 异魔 nearby fled one after another, and the 异魔 in the distance, no matter how the high-level 异魔 drove them, refused to move forward.
Qi Tianxiang sat cross-legged, took out two high-grade spirit stones, held one in each hand, and began to circulate his energy to recover his mana. At this time of crisis, he couldn't be stingy with these strange objects. The few high-grade spirit stones that had been treasured for hundreds of years had to be used.
Ling Xiao on the other side was about to speak, but seeing Qi Tianxiang meditating with high-grade spirit stones, he temporarily stopped. However, the shock in his heart was difficult to suppress. "Heavenly Lightning Silk Rain", as a group attack technique, was not a great threat to cultivators of the same level. However, the lightning technique behind it was extraordinary enough to make him, a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, fearful.
After a quarter of an hour, the low-level 异魔 staying on the periphery launched an attack again. They avoided Qi Tianxiang's location and concentrated their attack on the location of the Heavenly Devil Abyss cultivators. Obviously, that Nascent Soul Stage late-stage 异魔 had learned the ability to play with people's hearts without a teacher. From the positions and formations of the Heavenly Devil Abyss and Xuantian Sect cultivators, it had noticed their estrangement and wanted to find an opportunity to sow discord.
Qi Tianxiang naturally would not be manipulated by this. He stood up, pointed at the Profound Lightning Ruler, and the Profound Lightning Ruler sped to the vicinity above the heads of the Heavenly Devil Abyss cultivators, quickly generating a large number of lightning threads that flickered back and forth in the air.
The people below, including Ling Xiao, although they knew that the possibility of Qi Tianxiang attacking them was almost non-existent, still felt their scalps tingle and their hearts beat faster. They wished they could move several miles away and stay far away from this frightening little black ruler. Especially the two demonic cultivators, who were sweating profusely and their legs were trembling like sieves.
In the midst of a loud "boom", "Heavenly Lightning Silk Rain" erupted one after another, and the tens of thousands of 异魔 that had barely attacked were swept away. However, Qi Tianxiang did not kill the thousand or so 异魔 that were close to the Heavenly Devil Abyss people. This was also out of caution, not wanting to cause misunderstandings and give those high-level 异魔 hiding in the dark an opportunity to take advantage of.
The offensive of the low-level 异魔 stopped again. Due to the limitations of his divine sense, Qi Tianxiang could not know how many low-level 异魔 were still on the periphery, but in any case, the 异魔 that were annihilated by the lightning technique completely disappeared, without leaving any trace of nothingness power. This would inevitably force that Nascent Soul Stage late-stage 异魔 to change its moves.
Sure enough, the order of the 异魔's attack changed. More than twenty Nascent Soul Stage early-stage and mid-stage 异魔 appeared from the darkness and quickly approached Qi Tianxiang.
Ling Xiao was extremely decisive, without the slightest intention of watching, and immediately led Hu Chou and Xuan Yi to protect Qi Tianxiang's back and sides. At this time, that late-stage 异魔 did not appear.
Qi Tianxiang realized that this was an opportunity. With late-stage Grand cultivator Ling Xiao blocking the Nascent Soul Stage mid-stage 异魔, he could go all out and kill as many early-stage 异魔 as possible. With his strength, he would be quite passive against mid-stage 异魔, and he would have to protect several Core Formation cultivators, so he could only defend with all his strength. But if he was only dealing with early-stage 异魔, it would be relatively easy. He would have the initiative and could attack or defend.
Therefore, he roused his remaining strength, and his magic incantation continuously pointed to the Profound Lightning Ruler. The Profound Lightning Ruler spun around and turned into a huge lightning light, blasting on a Nascent Soul Stage early-stage 异魔 and killing it. Then, the Profound Lightning Ruler rolled towards another early-stage 异魔 like a whirlwind, and also killed it in an instant.
This was another classic spell of the Profound Lightning Ruler - "Heavenly Lightning Squall", which took the meaning of heavenly lightning descending and unrestrained. It was most unexpected and attacked unprepared. The Profound Lightning Ruler turned into a powerful heavenly lightning and jumped back and forth between different enemies. Each attack was random, unpredictable, and impossible to guard against. As long as the caster had enough mana, it could attack infinitely.
Those few Nascent Soul Stage mid-stage 异魔 were steadily blocked by Ling Xiao. He controlled the Cold Piercing Pearl, freezing tens of feet of space, completely restricting the 异魔's ability to infiltrate through the darkness, and then continuously weakening the power of the few 异魔 with the power of ice. Since that late-stage 异魔 had not yet appeared, he was not in a hurry to kill them, but retained most of his strength to prepare for the unexpected.
At this time, several more high-level 异魔 infiltrated out of the darkness, still attacking Qi Tianxiang.
"Two late-stage 异魔!" Ling Xiao exclaimed incredulously.
Among those few 异魔, the leaders were surprisingly two late-stage 异魔.
"The aura is wrong, it's not the late-stage 异魔 we encountered before!" Ling Xiao said again, this time shouting to Qi Tianxiang. His voice was a little sharp, showing that there was already some anxiety in his heart.
"There's another late-stage?" Qi Tianxiang's face was solemn, and an ominous premonition arose in his heart. So many high-level 异魔 had already greatly exceeded expectations. What was even more deadly was that the strongest 异魔 had still not shown its face, and its true strength was unknown.
The two were rapidly turning their thoughts, looking for countermeasures, and hundreds of Core Formation 异魔 with tens of thousands of Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining Realm 异魔 rushed up mightily. The four Nascent Soul Stage Real Persons were unable to take care of themselves and could only let these 异魔 attack the Core Formation cultivators below.
Ling Xiao was dumbfounded, and murmured, "Such a deep calculation, I'm afraid it's already at the Great Perfection Realm. It, does it want to break through to the God Transformation!"
Qi Tianxiang instantly understood what this meant. Whether it was Core Formation cultivators or Nascent Soul Stage Real Persons, under the siege of so many 异魔, they had to kill the 异魔 with all their strength, and could not only rely on Qi Tianxiang's lightning technique.
In this way, a large amount of nothingness power would be generated, creating an opportunity for that 异魔 to advance. Therefore, everyone was facing a certain-death situation. If they didn't kill the 异魔 in front of them, they would definitely die. If they killed them, they would create a terrifying great demon, triggering the wrath of heaven and earth, and they would still definitely die.
Of course, there was another way, and that was to "escape"! However, as soon as this idea appeared in the minds of Qi Tianxiang and Ling Xiao, it was erased. Choosing to escape, not to mention how many people could survive, the mission would definitely fail.
The two exchanged a glance in a flash of lightning and clearly saw the resolute look in each other's eyes. This was the determination to never give up even when facing despair.
"Mountain Lord Ling, Qi will make a bet with you. I bet that 异魔 will never dare to advance to the God Transformation!"
"Hahaha, Real Person Qi has such courage, I, Ling, will bet too, and I also bet it won't dare to advance!"
For a time, the two transcended the disputes, and their spirits were soaring. They actually felt a bit of mutual appreciation, and they were determined to fight back from the brink of despair in order to carve out a path to survival!
