Immortal Sword Master

Chapter 389: Chapter 385: Earth Demon Treasure Pearl, Dueling 3 True Monarchs

At this point, Ning Jiang had no way out.

He had come to the Extreme Heaven Sect today, and he would not let the matter rest until he received an explanation.

”Since you’re seeking death, I will grant your wish. I’d like to see if that Heaven-Reaching Realm expert from your Myriad Swords Sect dares to attack my Extreme Heaven Sect!”

True Monarch Yun Xiao was now filled with genuine killing intent.

He had initially been wary of the Heaven-Reaching Realm expert from the Myriad Swords Sect and had no wish to provoke such a powerful enemy.

But Ning Jiang’s words had not only humiliated him, but the entire Extreme Heaven Sect. If he let Ning Jiang go, how would the world view the Extreme Heaven Sect?

As for the Heaven-Reaching Realm expert from the Myriad Swords Sect, if he dared to attack, True Monarch Yun Xiao knew he would be no match. However, his own Sect Leader could deal with him.

His Sect Leader was the closest anyone in the Six Eastern Provinces had ever come to the level of a King. With such strength, how could he possibly fear the Myriad Swords Sect?

”I will obliterate your very Divine Spirit to make an example of you.”

True Monarch Yun Xiao casually struck out.

BOOM!

The void quaked, and the world was plunged into darkness.

A palm hundreds of zhang wide materialized above Ning Jiang’s head, radiating a destructive aura as it slammed down.

’Is this the Heaven-Reaching Realm?’

The crowd was shaken, their hearts filled with terror.

A single strike like that could wipe an entire Upper Grade Sect off the map.

Dozens of Earth Martial Realm experts would be annihilated by that single palm strike.

The higher one’s Cultivation, the greater the disparity between realms. Facing such a palm strike, a cultivator at Ning Jiang’s Primordial Spirit Fourth Tribulation Realm had no chance of survival.

’It’s over. It’s all over.’

Lü Xingfan, the Sect Leader of the Nine Profound Sect, turned pale, his lips trembling.

No matter how strong Ning Jiang was, he could not possibly be a match for a Heaven-Reaching Realm expert.

’Die.’

Feng Sisi and Hua Hailan sneered.

Lan Nongyu couldn’t help but clench her fists nervously.

Only Liu Xianyu remained calm. Her expression was unchanged, her eyes fixed solely on Ning Jiang. She knew he would have a solution!

”Thunder Spirit War General, come forth.”

Ning Jiang clenched his fist, produced the Celestial Thunder Banner, and summoned the Thunder Spirit War General.

”Oh? So you have a Magical Treasure like that. But it’s useless.”

True Monarch Yun Xiao scoffed. The Thunder Spirit War General only had the aura of the Earth Martial Realm, a completely different Level from his own Heaven-Reaching Realm Cultivation.

Ning Jiang remained unfazed by his words.

With a solemn expression, he took out an egg-sized pearl, as black as ink.

”It’s finally time for you to play your part!”

Ning Jiang murmured. With a flick of his finger, the pearl shot out. The Thunder Spirit War General opened its mouth and swallowed it whole.

BOOM!

In an instant, a torrent of Evil Qi erupted from the Thunder Spirit War General, and its aura began to climb at a terrifying, frantic pace.

’A pity about this Earth Demon Treasure Pearl. It only works once.’

Ning Jiang murmured. He had obtained this Earth Demon Treasure Pearl from beneath an ancient well in Cyan Cloud Country.

At the time, he had sensed a peculiar aura inside the ancient well. After searching, he discovered the Earth Demon Treasure Pearl right beneath the altar where the eyeball had been.

The Earth Demon Treasure Pearl was an incredibly rare natural wonder.

The conditions for its formation were exceptionally strict. It required a place dense with Evil Qi, and even after thousands of years of accumulation, there was only a one-in-a-thousand chance that one would congeal.

In other words, you could only find one for every thousand locations dense with Evil Qi.

This type of Earth Demon Treasure Pearl was the pure essence of congealed Evil Qi and contained terrifying Power. If obtained by a Martial Artist who cultivated Evil Qi, it would be an immense boon to their practice.

As the Thunder Spirit War General swallowed the Earth Demon Treasure Pearl, the terrifying Power contained within it erupted instantly.

”How is this possible?”

True Monarch Yun Xiao’s pupils shrank. He had never been so shocked.

Because in just a few short moments, the Thunder Spirit War General’s aura had climbed all the way from the Earth Martial Realm and, in one fell swoop, broken through to the Heaven-Reaching Realm!

BOOM.

At that moment, the Thunder Spirit War General threw a punch, and the terrifying Fist Force tore True Monarch Yun Xiao’s attack to shreds.

”Kill him!”

At Ning Jiang’s command, the Thunder Spirit War General took a step forward.

It clenched its fingers into a fist. In addition to the crackling Thunderbolt, its body was wreathed in a black aura—the Evil Qi.

As the Thunder Spirit War General threw its punch, a black Thunderbolt blasted forth. It was thousands, even tens of thousands of times more powerful than some so-called Destructive Thunder.

”Block it.”

True Monarch Yun Xiao snorted, using his Domain Power to make the space before him incredibly solid.

For a hundred zhang in front of him, the very air stopped flowing, solidifying into what looked like a pane of transparent glass.

BOOM.

But the black Thunderbolt was overwhelmingly powerful, shattering the Domain and continuing its destructive path forward.

HISS...

The next moment, gasps of shock echoed throughout the area.

Under that single blow, True Monarch Yun Xiao was sent flying back several thousand zhang.

’Such incredible power.’

’So that was his trump card?’

The crowd was dumbfounded, utterly shocked by the spectacle.

”Kill!”

The Thunder Spirit War General lunged forward to kill. Having been refined from the remnant Divine Spirit of a Blood Demon King, it possessed a simple consciousness.

As it attacked with its full might, a terrifying torrent of Thunder Power erupted like a tsunami, crashing down to submerge True Monarch Yun Xiao.

Endless black Thunderbolts rained down from the sky.

”Damn it.”

True Monarch Yun Xiao roared in fury. His face grew a shade paler with every Thunderbolt he blocked. After dozens of strikes, he could no longer bear it and coughed up a mouthful of blood.

”You two! What are you waiting for? Are you not going to act?” he let out a long cry.

”Hmph.”

Two cold snorts echoed from two other palaces in the sky, and two elderly men emerged.

The auras these two elders exuded were even more potent than True Monarch Yun Xiao’s.

”The other two True Monarchs are about to make their move!” the crowd exclaimed.

Of the three, True Monarch Yun Xiao was the youngest and therefore the weakest. The other two True Monarchs were both stronger than him.

”We cannot spare someone who acts so presumptuously in our Extreme Heaven Sect.”

The two True Monarchs of the Heaven-Reaching Realm attacked simultaneously, their gazes cold.

BOOM!

The surrounding space descended into utter chaos. Everyone could feel the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi being thrown into disarray. A blazing light erupted from the collision, so brilliant that even experts in the Earth Martial Realm had to shield their eyes.

’That thing is so strong!’

However, to everyone’s astonishment, even with three Heaven-Reaching Realm experts attacking together, they were still unable to do anything to the Thunder Spirit War General.

On the contrary, the Thunder Spirit War General’s aura was actually growing stronger amid the battle.

’The Power of the Earth Demon Treasure Pearl is beginning to erupt completely.’

Ning Jiang murmured. Before, it had only unleashed seventy percent of the Earth Demon Treasure Pearl’s Power. Now, it was at one hundred percent.

The reason he hadn’t consumed the Earth Demon Treasure Pearl himself was because the Power it contained was simply too immense. Swallowing it would have caused his own body to explode, so he could only let the Thunder Spirit War General use it.
