This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable

Chapter 128 Breaking Boundaries

Qi Yuan's Primordial Spirit moved with extreme speed, carrying a resolute momentum, and charged straight into Luohu's incarnation.

For cultivators, the Primordial Spirit is the most vulnerable part, regardless of how advanced their cultivation might be.

Normally, cultivators would never dare to expose their Primordial Spirits this way, for even a slight attack could lead to the destruction of both body and spirit.

However, in this battlefield, Luohu's Soul Split was restrained by the physical body and couldn't make a move, and the Asura was entangled by Lin Lang.

With no one able to intervene, in the blink of an eye, Qi Yuan's Primordial Spirit entered Luohu's incarnation.

The eyes of Luohu's incarnation, already opened, suddenly distorted and immediately lost focus, then displayed a vast expanse of pale whiteness.

At this moment, Luohu's Soul Split was too weak to control his incarnation. He needed to deal with the intruder first.

Inside Luohu's body, a fierce battle of Primordial Spirits had already begun.

...

As soon as Qi Yuan's Primordial Spirit entered Luohu's incarnation, what he saw was a vast Blood Sea.

This was the Sea of Consciousness of Luohu's incarnation.

In the crimson blood of the Blood Sea, there were countless distorted human faces, wailing, raging, and seeking life.

Qi Yuan looked around, and a chill instantly hit him.

Before him stood a terrifying and daunting specter.

It was Luohu's Soul Split.

Before Qi Yuan could react, Luohu's Soul Split already let out a grim laugh and pounced on him. The next moment, Qi Yuan felt an overwhelming pressure engulfing him like a tide.

Qi Yuan's Primordial Spirit immediately entered a flickering state, greatly weakened.

Luohu, the Asura King, is one of the most terrifying and powerful rulers of the Demon Race. Even being just a Soul Split, he was still too much for Qi Yuan to handle.

"Bound by this physical body, I can't make a move and let you attack at will. Yet you can't do anything to me. In a direct confrontation, your weak Primordial Spirit is no different to me than an ant," said Luohu's Soul Split in a cold voice full of mockery.

Uh...

Qi Yuan groaned, with his fluttering Primordial Spirit almost dissipating.

"Die!" Qi Yuan bellowed desperately.

Defeat was inevitable, but he refused to be defeated so easily.

Numerous blazing flames burst forth from Qi Yuan's Primordial Spirit, immediately turning it into a fiery sphere.

This was the burning of the Primordial Spirit Fire.

Ahhhhh!

The most extreme pain in the world always stems from the level of the Primordial Spirit.

Even with Qi Yuan's resilience, faced with the torment of burning the Primordial Spirit, he couldn't help but shout and howl in pain.

But Luohu's Soul Split was also suffering. He tried to quickly annihilate Qi Yuan's Primordial Spirit with an overwhelming attack, intending to devour Qi Yuan's spirit with his powerful soul body.

In this forceful approach, the soul bodies of both intertwined almost completely, so the flames on Qi Yuan's Primordial Spirit spread to Luohu's Soul Split in an instant.

"Damn!" Luohu's Soul Split seemed quite agitated and furious, having not expected Qi Yuan to be so decisive. Mere moments into their close combat, Qi Yuan had chosen the most ruthless method.

His soul body might be extremely powerful, and the onslaught of the Primordial Spirit Fire wasn't fatal to him, but he needed time to extinguish it.

...

After Qi Yuan's Primordial Spirit entered Luohu's incarnation, Chu He stopped launching Divine Soul Attacks against Luohu's incarnation.

Because in such a situation, an attack might not ensure whether it hit Luohu's Soul Split or Qi Yuan's Primordial Spirit.

With hands free, Chu He immediately turned his attention towards the Asura by his side.

Zhenjiang Tower and the Asura's controlled Netherworld of Zhenjiang had been rivals for hundreds of years, harboring countless new and old grudges. This was a rare opportunity for Chu He to settle past conflicts with the Asura!

"True Monarch Yuanming, I am here to aid you!" Chu He cried out, as countless wooden spikes burst from his hands like torrential rain, shooting towards the Asura who was continuously clashing with Lin Lang from Yuanming Mountain.

The Asura's expression changed, his heart secretly lamenting.

The title of True Monarch Yuanming originated from his Magic Artifact, the Yuanming Mountain.

This artifact, which he'd created by spending most of his fortune and gathering various rare materials, was either large or small, astonishingly heavy, and contained a rare and powerful Yuanming Lei seed within the mountain. Under the force of Spiritual Power, it could continuously emit Yuanming Divine Thunder.

The power of thunder-attributed spells had always been top-notch.

If not for the Asura's equally formidable physical prowess, he would have likely been defeated long ago.

He was already struggling to fend off just the magic artifact from Yuanming Mountain; now, with Chu He adding pressure from the side, how could he not suffer?

The four arms emerging from the Asura's back each held a magic wheel, two of which flew out immediately towards the cluster of wooden spikes.

Seeing the Asura distracted, Lin Lang instantly surged forward, and the might of Yuanming Mountain rose tremendously.

Bang!

Under the bombardment of Yuanming Mountain, the Asura staggered backwards several steps, spewing out a mouthful of fresh blood.

The battle of Nascent Soul cultivators was not something ordinary people could partake in; even Dantai Qingrun, a powerful Golden Core cultivator, could only spectate, and Lu Qingshan was even less likely to get involved.

He remained focused on the incarnation of Luohu within the Blood Pool.

How long Qi Yuan could persist was the real concern; the life or death of the Asura was actually trivial.

...

Boom!

Mu Ke shot out a beam of Spiritual Light from her hand, shattering the blood-red crystal on the stele.

The survivor, after gathering her teammates' bodies, immediately proceeded with their squad's mission alone.

After a thorough search, she discovered this new Formation Point.

With the Asura killing the Heart Demon's mother gu, leading to the death of all the Underworld cultivators in Zhenjiang City, destroying the Formation Points had become easier.

And similar scenes were happening consecutively in other parts of Zhenjiang City.

With no Underworld cultivators to hinder them, the speed at which the cultivators of Zhenjiang Tower destroyed the Formation Points increased greatly.

...

Outside Zhenjiang City.

Countless cracks spread across the iron curtain above, making the barrier appear on the verge of collapse.

This was just over an hour after they started breaking the barrier.

"Apart from us working hard to break the barrier, there are also people inside the city continuously destroying the Formation Points,"

"As a result, the power of the barrier is weakening, and our speed in breaking this barrier has significantly increased with the inside-out cooperation," Fengxing Zi explained to Beiming True Venerable, "The collapse of this barrier is now within reach!"

Beiming True Venerable nodded to show he understood.

"Since it's within reach, let's speed up the process a bit more," Beiming True Venerable said softly.

"Break!"

Beiming True Venerable bellowed. Purple light flashed through both hands as he unleashed two bolts of lightning that flew forward. In midair, they quickly grew into lightning serpents over ten meters long, collided, merged rapidly, and then smashed fiercely against the weak point of the barrier specified by Fengxing Zi.

...

An extremely brilliant light flashed into Lu Qingshan's eyes.

What's this?

Since the Asura Blood Fiend Formation began, a dark sky had enveloped Zhenjiang City.

The entire city had hence been shrouded in darkness and blood-red hues.

This unusual sunlight left Lu Qingshan somewhat baffled,

like the sky after a torrential rain, with heavy clouds dispersing under the rising sun.

He saw above the once gloomy sky, the dark sky quietly disappearing, and countless streams of sunlight finally unobstructed by the barrier, began to sprinkle over Zhenjiang City again.

The barrier was broken!

Lu Qingshan finally realized, and in the next moment, he couldn't help but be moved.

Because, from the direction of the rising sun, he saw dozens of cultivators with powerful auras.

"Beiming True Venerable..." Dantai Qingrun, spotting the leader among the cultivators, uttered with a hint of excitement, "It's reinforcement from Qing State's main tower, they're here!"

It was reinforcement; the reinforcements had finally arrived!
