Chapter 110: First Battle Against a Deity-Transformation Realm Cultivator

Page 1/3

The Yuan family's Divine Transformation Venerable flew into a rage and was just about to strike when his expression suddenly changed, as though he had remembered something. He gazed at Zhen Ling with uncertainty and suspicion.

“Who dares trespass upon the Yuan residence?”

“Silence!”

Yuan Tong had finally arrived and shouted at Zhen Ling, but before he could say anything more, the Yuan family's Divine Transformation expert barked at him.

Yuan Tong's expression darkened.

Had it been anyone else, he would have taught them a lesson long ago. But the person before him was Arm-Binding Venerable, the third-generation ancestor of the Yuan family and a mid-stage Divine Transformation expert. He normally paid no attention to family affairs, but once he spoke, even Yuan Tong's father had to yield to him.

Although Yuan Tong was acting as head of the household, that was only because Arm-Binding Venerable did not interfere. The moment the Venerable took charge, with the family head and several elders absent, his Divine Transformation cultivation was enough to decide everything.

Arm-Binding Venerable paid no attention to Yuan Tong's thoughts. His gaze remained fixed on Zhen Ling as he frowned and said, “Might you be the Lord of Zhen Manor from Taixu Prefecture?”

At those words, everyone's expression changed.

Taixu Prefecture was the strongest of the Nine Prefectures of Southern Cloud. Its new lord was even more mysterious—a prodigy who had reached the Divine Transformation realm before the age of thirty, acclaimed as the foremost genius of Southern Cloud. Yet no one had ever seen his true face. Who could have imagined that he would appear here?

Now that they looked closely, even behind her mask, she possessed an air of peerless elegance.

Zhen Ling, however, did not acknowledge him in the slightest. Her gaze fell upon Tulu, and her expression turned cold. She immediately plunged downward.

Ever since she had appeared at the Yuan residence, Tulu had already taken Ziling into the Heavenly Dragon Token, remaining prepared to flee at any moment.

Though he was a guest elder of the Yuan residence, between Yuan Tong, Arm-Binding Venerable, and the Lord of Taixu Prefecture, anyone could tell without even thinking whom they would support. Thus, the instant Zhen Ling dove toward him, he unleashed the fastest speed of his life.

Zhen Ling reached down with one hand, and in an instant, frost blanketed more than half of the Yuan residence.

“It’s him!”

At last, someone reacted. Everyone, including Arm-Binding Venerable, saw Zhen Ling reaching for Tulu. A sharp glint flashed through Xu Bin’s eyes, and he was about to step forward and stop Tulu.

But at that moment, Tulu gave a thunderous shout, turned around, and slashed at the sky.

A vast aura instantly enveloped the entire courtyard.

A colossal finger seal collided with Zhen Ling’s right hand. Arm-Binding Venerable’s expression changed, and he immediately descended into the residence to personally activate and control the great defensive formation.

In the very next instant, a terrifying explosion erupted. Apart from the areas protected by the formation, vast stretches of land were destroyed, leaving behind a wasteland of scorched earth across Azure Profound Region.

“Impossible!”

Xu Bin’s eyes widened as he trembled within the courtyard formation. Even the aftershocks of that terrifying clash made his heart pound. How could this possibly be the power of an early-stage Violet Palace cultivator?

Under the impact, Tulu spat out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying.

Zhen Ling was about to pursue him when her expression suddenly changed. She pressed one palm down toward the scorched earth.

Just as everyone was wondering what was happening, a thunderous boom suddenly rang out from within the wasteland.

Tulu, who had been fleeing, vanished without warning. A dazzling white light suddenly flared from the scorched earth. Countless sigils surfaced across his body. After taking a deep breath, he shot into the sky, seized a withered branch, and slashed it through the air.

“Grass and Trees Become Soldiers!”

The phantom of a withered branch appeared in the void, as though it had crossed the endless ages from some distant primordial era. Though indistinct, it radiated an ancient, weathered aura.

Zhen Ling had intended to meet it barehanded, but the instant she sensed that aura, her expression changed. She drew a long sword of ice. In a heartbeat, the air froze still, and three terrifying sword energies tore through the sky at once.

“No! Those are the Three Thousand Sword Paths of Slashing, Shattering, and Annihilation!”

Tulu’s heart shuddered, but his hand did not hesitate. He poured even greater force into the slash of the withered branch.

The two forces collided. A thunderous boom rang across the heavens, and a colossal rift split open in space. Tulu spat out another mouthful of blood and was sent flying.

Damn it. So it really is impossible?

He clenched his teeth and suddenly drew in a deep breath.

“Not good!”

Arm-Binding Venerable’s expression changed drastically. He immediately exerted his full strength to stabilize the defensive formation surrounding the Yuan residence.

He was utterly shaken. Others could only determine Tulu’s cultivation realm; they had no way of knowing whether he was concealing his aura. But Arm-Binding Venerable knew perfectly well that Tulu truly was only at the early Violet Palace stage.

Yet an early Violet Palace cultivator was now radiating an aura that made even him feel faintly threatened. It was simply unbelievable.

“Great Annihilation Fist!”

At that moment, Tulu roared. The void suddenly trembled violently, and a gigantic vortex appeared in the sky. As his fist shot forward, a red sphere of light erupted, and the Blood God Gauntlet shattered apart as well.

For a time, the void shook and heaven and earth trembled. Space itself collapsed beneath that single punch, forming a spatial black hole. Endless laws surged downward, as though they would annihilate the heavens and destroy the earth.

Countless powerful beings throughout Azure Profound Region awoke in alarm, their gazes turning toward the Yuan residence.

Everyone looked up at the sky.

With the heavens stained blood-red and twisting like a vortex, it was impossible not to notice.

Zhen Ling’s expression changed as well. She drew two long swords of ice simultaneously and gave a delicate shout. An aura of extreme cold erupted, and in an instant, centered upon her, nearly half of Azure Profound Region became a frozen domain of absolute frost.

Then the descending laws of the black hole crashed into that frozen domain.

Boom!

In an instant, the entire Azure Profound Region shook violently. The boundless earth split apart, and vast territories of Azure Profound Region were reduced to ice shards and barren wasteland.
