Chapter 109 The Prophet
The Xuanwu Sword Technique was originally the supreme sword technique of the Martial Ancestor. Now, it carries the power of heaven and earth, the might of the formation, and the sharpness of the Dao foundation, and its power has increased by more than a thousand times!
The thousand-foot-tall Xuanwu Dharma Image galloped freely in the ninth level of the Daoist field. With each swing of its sword, the world changed color. Every move it made and every move it made caused the great array to roar. The void black tide was torn apart and ground down like paper in front of this supreme swordsmanship!
With each sword strike Lu Ming made, the power of eight layers of formations resonated, and with each step he took, the earth's dragon energy lifted him up, as if the entire world was cheering him on!
"Impossible! This is the swordsmanship of the Martial Ancestor! You are merely a junior; how could you possibly wield such power!"
The old man of nothingness was forced to retreat steadily, his heart filled with shock and anger.
He never expected that a wisp of remnant soul combined with the power of the Eight Trigrams Formation could transform Lu Ming and cause his combat power to soar to this extent!
The most important factor is Lu Mingdaoji. His magical power, combined with the blessing of his Dao foundation, gives him the ability to destroy nothingness.
Even if someone else had stronger magical power, they wouldn't be able to achieve the same effect as Lu Ming.
Just when the battle seemed to be one-sided, a sudden change occurred!
The Void Venerable beneath the Divine Cauldron let out a deafening roar, disregarding the backlash from the seal, burning a portion of his primordial power to forcefully shake the cauldron!
The seal, which had been temporarily stabilized by the Holy Lord, loosened significantly again, and even developed a tiny crack!
The power of the Void Venerable's true form, far exceeding that of the previous one, surged forth, and the black tide launched a frenzied counterattack, instantly engulfing a small portion of the dojo!
Even more terrifying is that the Void Venerable actually used his own will and his own millennia of erosion of the great formation to forcibly interfere with the power of the Eight Formations in Lu Ming's hands!
The earth's dragon energy was disordered, the spiritual veins flowed backward, the power of the stars dimmed, the Dao patterns flickered erratically, and the power of the eight-layered formation was forcibly severed for a moment by the power of nothingness!
The light of the Xuanwu Dharma Image dimmed suddenly, and the power around Lu Ming's body momentarily stagnated!
"Now!"
A ferocious ecstasy flashed in the old man's eyes. Seizing this fleeting opening, he poured all his void power into condensing it into a colossal void beast that pierced through the heavens and earth!
The giant beast's head closely resembled the Venerable One's true form, and when it opened its mouth, a pitch-black vortex devoured everything, aiming to swallow the Xuanwu Dharma Image whole, along with Lu Ming and his Dao Foundation, and refine them together!
The overwhelming pressure of the ethereal behemoth disrupted Lu Ming's eight-array power, instantly putting him at a disadvantage and plunging him into a desperate situation!
He swung his sword with all his might, but the power of the formation was disrupted, and the power of his sword technique was greatly reduced. When he slashed at the giant beast, the sword light was instantly swallowed up, and he could not stop its advance at all!
"Hahaha! Prepare to die! It's all over!"
The Venerable Void laughed maniacally, victory seemingly within his grasp!
But he forgot that the loyal souls of Tian Shu have never faded away!
And we've forgotten about the Taotie, the divine beast that guarded the formation for a thousand years and remained unyielding even in death!
Just as the ethereal behemoth was about to devour the Xuanwu Dharma Image, the Taotie, whose spirit body was already shattered to the point of being transparent, suddenly leaped out from the side of the Divine Continent Cauldron!
It was already dead, and its spirit, formed purely from soul power, was now flickering. After a thousand years of protection and destruction, it was now just a candle in the wind.
It guarded for a thousand years, and it also fell into ruin for a thousand years. Even its mind was almost destroyed. The once divine beast became a vengeful spirit, and the once holy light turned into bloody light.
The Taotie's soul power began to burn, and its dim spiritual body gradually became brilliant. It rushed towards the void black tide without regard for anything, as resolute as a moth drawn to a flame!
"The prophet! The Divine Cauldron cannot be broken! The Celestial Pivot cannot perish in vain!"
Taotie roared to the sky, glancing at Lu Ming before looking at the first Holy Lord of Tian Shu.
The Taotie burned all of its soul power, completely disregarding the possibility of its soul being scattered.
The brilliant holy light shone again, and the glory of the divine beast reappeared. The black tide was forced to reverse, and then the Taotie crashed into the vortex at the core of the void behemoth!
"Taotie!!!"
Lu Ming's eyes widened in horror, and tears of blood streamed down his face!
At this moment, the first Holy Lord possessed Lu Ming, and all of the first Holy Lord's emotions were expressed through Lu Ming.
The holy light and the black tide collided violently, and silent annihilation continued to unfold within the black tide!
The Taotie's divine beast spirit continued to dissipate until it was completely annihilated, leaving only a single golden-colored hair that slowly drifted down.
At the cost of its own soul being scattered, it forcefully broke through the interference of the Void Venerable with the power of the Eight Arrays, and even blasted a gap in the core of the Void Beast!
A thousand years of defense, a single day of sacrifice; heroic spirits coalesced in the flames of war, loyal souls perished in the act of guarding!
Earth veins, spiritual veins, stars, Dao patterns...
The power of the eight-layered formation returned instantly! The earth-shattering power was once again gathered.
The remnant soul of the first Holy Lord burned, and his soul power surged into Lu Ming's body in an endless stream.
Lu Ming looked up to the sky and roared, the grief and indignation of the first Holy Lord fully reflected on his face.
Lu Ming's soul completely merged with the remnant soul of the Holy Lord, the Xuanwu Dharma Image, the power of the Eight Arrays, and the Four Symbols of the Heavenly Heart!
The seven forms of the Xuanwu Sword Technique were unified, the four symbols were combined, and the eight formations were combined. Lu Ming pushed his magic power to an unprecedented limit!
Heavenly Heart Four Symbols Slash!
A ten-thousand-foot-long sword rainbow stretched across the heavens and earth, with the power of water, fire, wind, and thunder intertwining like a dragon. The power of the eight-layered formation erupted, and the immortal light of the immortal sword foundation shot straight into the sky, with the ancient immortal Dao patterns on it flickering uncertainly.
This sword strike was the most brilliant one Lu Ming had ever unleashed since he began cultivating!
The cultivators on the outskirts of the ruins had already fled far away. The overwhelming fluctuations within the ruins had already intimidated them, preventing them from daring to approach. But at this moment, the spiritual swords of all the cultivators wielding swords were trembling.
"No! This is impossible!!!" Venerable Void roared in despair, his voice filled with resentment and fear.
As the sword light fell, the ethereal behemoth instantly disintegrated, the black tide was completely obliterated, and the core black mist was utterly crushed by the power of the Dao Foundation, vanishing into nothingness!
This illusory form, which had been plotting for a thousand years, disguised itself to lead the way and cause chaos in the great formation, and almost escaped with its life, was completely annihilated by this sword!
The world finally regained its clarity, the raging power of nothingness was swept away, and the power of the eight-layered formation slowly returned to its place, stabilizing and circulating once again.
The thousand-foot-tall Xuanwu Dharma Image gradually dimmed its light and merged into Lu Ming's body.
Lu Ming staggered half a step, enduring the excruciating pain in his body, and bent down, trembling, to pick up the golden-stained fur of the Taotie.
He slowly raised his head, his eyes filled with madness and stubbornness, staring straight down at the Shenzhou Cauldron.
There, the pitch-black vortex churned wildly. The Void Venerable, whose true form had been suppressed by the Divine Continent Cauldron, was enraged by the destruction of its human form and revealed its ferocious and terrifying appearance.
Although the destructive aura that devoured everything was suppressed by the Divine Continent Cauldron, it still shook the entire Tian Shu Ruins!
However, since his original power had been destroyed by Lu Ming, the Void Venerable had no strength left to resist.
Although the Void Venerable's true form was firmly suppressed by the Divine Continent Cauldron, making it difficult for the power of nothingness to dissipate, the terrifying aura emanating from it still made people feel that they would be overwhelmed at a glance.
Lu Ming gripped his sword tightly, his fighting spirit undiminished, and walked toward the ultimate source of chaos.
Now only the Void Venerable remains, who has been completely suppressed, and he is determined to utterly annihilate this ultimate terrifying existence!
