Chapter 1004 - Lightning Strike and Kill

This was the secondary array core of the Grand Extermination Immortal Array. Each of the seven Great Cultivators had one, and it was their reliance for fighting multiple enemies. Beneath him was a white lotus seat, about ten feet in size, spinning rapidly. With each rotation of the lotus seat, a circle of strange white Talisman Light would spill out. The surrounding sea of fire, upon encountering this white Talisman Light, first felt as if it had entered a quagmire, shaking violently. Then, a bizarre scene unfolded. The flames caught by the white Talisman Light either dissipated with a bang or strangely turned from crimson to white. These white flames then turned their heads and pounced fiercely at the surrounding crimson flames. This was because the Divine Heart Sect's supreme Cultivation Method, the Heart Control and Spirit Nurturing Record, focused on using the heart to control the spirit, not only controlling oneself but also enemies. All sentient beings could be influenced by this Cultivation Method, even having their minds manipulated. As the First Elder of the Divine Heart Sect, True Lord Kongli had naturally cultivated this Cultivation Method to its highest realm. Furthermore, his Natal Magic Treasure, the Heart-Illuminating Divine Lotus, could multiply the power of his Cultivation Method. With a roar, the sea of fire churned, and nine massive dragon heads emerged from within, forming a circle and lunging to bite at True Lord Kongli in the center from all directions. True Lord Kongli remained seated with his eyes closed, but the white lotus beneath him spun even faster. In an instant, nine lotus petals flew out, transforming into balls of white light that enveloped the nine dragon heads. The Nine Dragons were immediately halted in mid-air, with crimson and white light flashing wildly. Just then, a whistling sound like tearing silk was heard, and the Void trembled. Dozens, even hundreds, of arc-shaped sound waves, several yards in size, emerged like fierce fish from the deep sea, suddenly lunging to deliver a fatal blow to True Lord Kongli, their timing perfectly executed. But at this moment, the gray sphere of light above True Lord Kongli's head suddenly flashed with brilliance. In an instant, dozens of gray light beams shot out, and those terrifying sound wave attacks were annihilated into nothingness under this radiance. However, at this very moment, the beautiful woman dancing enchantingly on the giant drum suddenly curved her rosy lips. "Let me let you taste my Yin God Silk." She formed a strange hand seal, and from the sound waves that had been dispersed by the radiance, a faint glimmer suddenly flashed. A stream of light, as thin as a hair, vanished in a flash. At this moment, another radiance appeared in the air. This stream of light was instantly split into two. But these two streams of light actually increased in speed, flashing to True Lord Kongli's front, seemingly about to pierce his heart and dantian. True Lord Kongli's eyes snapped open, and he suddenly spat out a point of white light that bloomed in the air, transforming into two tiny white lotuses. In a flash, they enveloped these two strands of Yin God Silk respectively. The white lotuses tightened, then exploded into nothingness, with countless light fragments drifting down. This insidious attack was still blocked by True Lord Kongli. However, True Lord Kongli's face suddenly turned pale, and he even spat out a mouthful of blood. Seeing this, the enchanting woman's eyes lit up, and she laughed heartily, "Kong Li, it seems this should be your last Natal Heart Lotus. Today is your death day!" As she spoke, her dancing steps became even faster. In an instant, dozens or hundreds of sound waves entered the Void. The woman then flickered and transformed into a musical note, disappearing into the air. On the other side, the nine fire dragons, which had retreated back into the sea of fire due to the obstruction of the lotus petals, began to surge wildly in the sea of fire upon seeing this, creating a vortex of fire. True Lord Kongli was at the center of this vortex, being swept by countless fire waves. Boom! Boom! Boom! Earth-shattering roars erupted, and spiritual light flashed wildly. The next moment, the rapidly spinning lotus seat shot out from within. This was True Lord Kongli's Natal Magic Treasure, the Heart-Illuminating Divine Lotus. This magic treasure's spiritual light was dim. Even as it fled backward, countless lotus petals scattered from it uncontrollably, gently drifting in the air. Behind him, a massive fire dragon was in hot pursuit, while ripples appeared in the air as if on the surface of water. The enchanting woman's figure could be vaguely seen, as if dancing gracefully in the Void, her speed not at all slow. But at this moment, True Lord Kongli, who was fleeing wildly ahead, suddenly stopped. He looked at the two pursuing him from behind, a smile suddenly appearing on his pale face as he clenched his right fist. The remaining lotus petals of the Heart-Illuminating Divine Lotus beneath him were all unleashed. Together with the petals that had scattered in the air earlier, they instantly formed a sky full of lotus rain. White light shot between these lotus petals, weaving into a net in an instant, trapping the fire dragon and the enchanting woman within the Void ripples. At the same time, wave-like white Talisman Light rippled out from this net of lotus petals. Affected by this, the fire dragon's flames flashed, transforming into a tall man in a crimson robe, his hair and beard all ablaze. The enchanting woman, hidden in the Void, also revealed herself. The white Talisman Light instantly transformed into white chains, entangling the two. The expressions of the two changed, and their protective spiritual light flared, resisting these white chains. Then, they sneered. This was clearly True Lord Kongli's desperate move. If it were just one of them blocking it, it would be somewhat troublesome, but for two of them, it was more than enough. And when their spiritual power was depleted, it would be the time of True Lord Kongli's demise. But just then, behind the crimson-robed man, lightning flashed, and a silver-robed figure appeared strangely. It was Ning Fa. His face was filled with chilling killing intent, white lightning flashing in his eyes. Two ethereal white lightning bolts flashed and entered the back of the crimson-robed man's head. Ning Fa held a Five-Colored Thunder Sword, its lightning blazing intensely. He moved as fast as lightning and suddenly thrust it towards the crimson-robed man's back. The crimson-robed man let out an earth-shattering scream. Flames erupted from his back, forming a vortex that blocked the sword's thrust. But the sword's surface flashed with crimson light, and thunder and fire surged. The flame vortex was then drawn in, directly entering the sword. The next moment, the lightning-fire sword pierced the crimson-robed man's back unimpeded. It paused for a moment, then his body exploded with a bang, flames scattering everywhere. Soon, several yards away, flames condensed, and the crimson-robed man reappeared. However, his face was extremely pale, his eyes bloodshot, and his Divine Soul's aura was extremely weak. Clearly, although he had escaped the previous attack, he had paid a great price. He stared at the expressionless Ning Fa, as if seeing a venomous snake, and shouted in terror, "Ning Fa! You've actually reached the Mid Nascent Soul stage!" Before his voice even fell, he didn't hesitate. Flames erupted from his right hand, and he plunged it into his own abdomen. The man instantly transformed into a stream of fire. The stream of fire then shook, instantly splitting into over a thousand flames, fleeing in all directions. This person was extremely decisive. Upon seeing the intention of True Lord Kongli and Ning Fa to set a trap and hunt them, he directly used a secret technique to escape. But Ning Fa sneered, then clenched his right hand. The sound of rushing water echoed. A deep, dark water curtain instantly appeared in the air, enveloping the surroundings. Within it, black lightning surged like a tide, exuding a terrifying aura of extreme yin, extreme cold, and extreme softness. This was the Dutian Nether Thunder. The thousand streams of flame were all within the embrace of this Dutian Nether Thunder. Countless black arcs of electricity shot out, extinguishing those flames. Before long, the remaining few flames retreated towards the center, gathered abruptly, and transformed back into the crimson-robed man's form. At this point, his aura was even weaker, his body was swaying precariously, and his eyes were filled with terror. Then, determination appeared in his eyes. The fire on the crown of his head flashed, and a fist-sized, fiery red infant holding a fire pearl disappeared in a flash. But Ning Fa's lips curled. He let out a fierce roar, madly mobilizing his vital energy. His body became like a blazing furnace, emitting scorching heat, accompanied by the sound of great rivers surging and roaring. His right hand glowed with intense silver spiritual light, and he began to wildly pat the surrounding Void. The Void immediately trembled violently, emitting a sound like surging waves, stirring up rolling ripples. This was a powerful Divine Ability that only Body Cultivators could unleash after reaching a very profound realm. It could directly affect the surrounding Void and had an excellent restraining effect on teleportation-like escape techniques. This was also something Ning Fa could only unleash after advancing to the Mid Nascent Soul stage. As expected, about ten yards away, the violently trembling Void flashed with fire, and the crimson-robed man's Nascent Soul stumbled out. His small face was filled with terror, and flames reignited on his body. He tried to use the teleportation technique again. However, the violent fluctuations of the surrounding Void spread to him, making him feel as if he were bearing immense weight. The teleportation technique could not be performed. At this moment, a silver, misty fist, floating with intense lightning, had already transformed into a stunning rainbow, rushing towards him. The crimson-robed man's Nascent Soul could only desperately raise the fire pearl in his hand to try and resist. The next moment, astonishing spiritual energy halos erupted. With a scream, the crimson-robed man's Nascent Soul completely dissipated under this terrifying fist. This Great Cultivator, renowned for centuries in Tianli, had thus perished. Ning Fa retracted his fist and looked to his right. There, dark light and white light were flashing wildly. Two faint silhouettes could be seen, engaged in a fierce battle at speeds that were difficult for the naked eye to capture. With a clang of metal on metal, two figures appeared. One of them was naturally the enchanting woman, and the other was Baili Ming, dressed in black robes. He wore a wicked grin, holding a black Crescent Blade, its tip still dripping with blood. The enchanting woman's arms, delicate as lotus roots, each bore a fresh, bloody wound. At this moment, her face was filled with terror as she looked at the two. Especially the fact that her companion had died so quickly at Ning Fa's hands had given her a huge shock. Without a word, she took a dancing step, and her entire body transformed into a musical note, disappearing into the Void. Ning Fa sneered and began patting the surroundings with his right hand again, once more employing the Void Tremor technique. As expected, the enchanting woman was sent flying out. Immediately, dark light and lightning flashed wildly. Baili Ming and Ning Fa, with speed like lightning, charged towards her.
