Asura Continent

The black cloud in the sky released a large amount of energy. The energy gathered together and continued to compress as more lightning formed. This time, the gathered lightning bolts were even more powerful than before. Each lightning bolts were as thick as an adult's arm. As soon as they appeared, under the control of Sun Dehai, they quickly struck towards Lu Yang.

Lu Yang's face darkened. Instead of retreating, he advanced and flew into the dark clouds in a flash.

Sun Dehai was stunned. Never in his wildest dreams did he imagine that Lu Yang would have such a method to deal with lightning attacks. He coldly said, "You're courting death …"

Was Lu Yang really seeking death? The answer is no.

The lightning was the weakest in the dark clouds. Once it was released, its attack power would increase by several times. If it could not be broken down before it landed, it would definitely be at a huge price to pay. It was precisely because of this that Lu Yang decided to take the risk and forcefully destroy the lightning.

The next moment, Lu Yang flew into the dark clouds. Lightning flashed around him as he released a massive amount of the power of thunder and lightning. He also felt that he had been a bit impulsive in his determination. Although thunder and lightning were very weak in the dark clouds, the power of attack that they released was not to be underestimated. However, in the instant that Lu Yang brandished his Blood Devouring Berserker Blade, he discovered a shocking secret.

One part of the power of the lightning in the dark clouds came from the caster and the other from the power of the heavens and earth. It had to be known that the Nine Mystical Jade Wall could absorb the energy between heaven and earth. As long as it was the energy of heaven and earth, it could be absorbed by force. The Nascent Soul stage cultivators were only able to use a portion of the Heaven and Earth powers, but no matter how little they used, it was still the power of the Heaven and Earth.

Lu Yang's eyes flashed. He slapped the storage pouch on his waist, took out the Nine Mystical Jade Wall, and threw it towards Dark Cloud. The Nine Mystical Jade Wall arced through the air and landed in the clouds, releasing a faint ray of light. With a flash, it frantically absorbed the lightning energy within the clouds. Its absorption speed was unimaginably fast. In the blink of an eye, it absorbed 30% of the lightning energy.

According to this speed, it would only take a few breaths to absorb the Heaven and Earth powers from the clouds.

The reason why the techniques cast by Nascent Soul stage cultivators were so powerful was because they could borrow the powers of the heaven and earth. If the spells did not contain the power of the heavens and earth, their offensive power would be reduced by several folds. Sure enough, after the Nine Mystical Jade Wall absorbed a portion of the power of heaven and earth, the power contained within the thunder and lightning clearly weakened. It was quite different from the power of thunder and lightning just now.

The corner of Lu Yang's mouth curved into a faint smile. He immediately raised his Blood Devouring Berserker Blade and chopped towards the lightning in the clouds.

The saber light flashed, and a blood-red saber energy suddenly shot out, heading straight for the lightning.

Following that, a dull thumping sound was heard. The thunder and lightning scattered, and the saber Qi only weakened slightly. However, it still continued to attack the remaining lightning and thunder without slowing down at all.

A series of rumbling sounds could be heard from the clouds as the lightning bolts that had been struck by the saber Qi shattered on the spot.

Sun Dehai's eyes widened. He could not imagine what method Lu Yang would use to destroy the lightning. He quickly spread out his divine sense and felt through the dark clouds. When he discovered that a jade wall had appeared in the middle of the clouds and was absorbing the energy of heaven and earth, he was suddenly enlightened. He then said in ecstasy, "Lu Yang, the Nine Mystical Jade Wall is in your hands."

The Nine Mystical Jade Wall was one of the great treasures of the cultivation world of the Western Chu Nation. No one knew where it came from, but just as they arrived at the cultivation world of the Western Chu Nation, it created a bloody storm. When the powerful Su Family was destroyed, there was no news of the Nine Mystical Jade Wall. All these years, many experts were searching for it. Because they could not find the jade wall, after a while, many experts gave up.

But now, the Nine Mystical Jade Wall appeared in front of his eyes once more. As he thought of the legend of the Nine Mystical Jade Wall, the one who obtained the Jade Wall would be the one under the heavens. Sun Dehai suddenly went crazy. If he could obtain the Nine Profound Jade Wall, his cultivation could rapidly increase. If he could reach the level of tribulation, wouldn't he be able to escape the shackles of heaven and earth and soar between heaven and earth?

As these thoughts flashed through his mind, Sun Dehai controlled the lightning to attack Lu Yang as he pondered on how to obtain the Nine Mystical Jade Wall. After three breaths of time, Sun Dehai made a bold decision. If he wanted to obtain the Nine Mystical Jade Wall, he would have to seize it personally. Once the Jade Wall absorbed all the Heaven and Earth powers in the clouds, it would be extremely difficult to snatch it from Lu Yang.

It had to be said that Sun Dehai's way of thinking was very correct. But was the Nine Mystical Jade Wall really that easy to obtain?

Sun Dhai dodged to the side, as if he wanted to fly into the clouds. However, as soon as his feet left the ground, a cold gleam could be seen in the dark clouds, along with an enormous, frigid aura. The surrounding temperature instantly dropped to around -3000 degrees Celsius. At such a low temperature, even if a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator were to fly in, he would be frozen.

Sun Dehai felt the might of the cold energy. He felt that even if he was frozen, he could still forcefully break it. However, if this was the case, it would waste a lot of time, which would be very disadvantageous to him in seizing the Nine Mystical Jade Wall. Therefore, Sun Dehai's body flashed and flew towards the ground not far away. After he landed, his feet suddenly stepped on the ground, wanting to borrow the strength of the earth to rebound.

However, just as Sun Dehai landed on the ground, countless vines suddenly appeared from the soil. These vines grew at an astonishing speed, covering the entire space around him in the blink of an eye. Not only that, the vine was like a huge birdcage, trapping him within. If he wanted to break through the vine and leave, there was only one way, and that was to forcefully break it apart.

Sun Dehai coldly snorted and looked at the vine in front of him, disdainfully saying, "Child Lu Yang, do you think this kind of wood-type plant can trap me?"

With these words, Sun Dehai raised his right hand, and a lightning chain was released, landing on the vines.

The power of thunder and lightning was extremely powerful. Those vines were instantly electrocuted and withered away, turning into wisps of black smoke and disappearing.

"That's all you can do. No matter how many divine abilities you've cultivated, it won't stop me from killing you." Sun Dehai laughed out loud, his right foot stepping on the ground. With a 'peng' sound, he transformed into a beam of light that shot into the sky. However, just as he flew up ten zhang, he saw an unimaginable scene. Shocked, he said, "No …."

What did Sun Dehai see? The black clouds that he had formed were unexpectedly not under his control.

In the dark clouds, lightning suddenly descended. The lightning was as thick as a bowl, and it was purple-red in color. It contained a horrifying energy.

Lu Yang floated above the dark clouds, his face pale. In order to use this sacred art, he had used up almost all of the energy within the Nine Mystical Jade Annulus. The might of this technique could be imagined. As the lightning descended, the surrounding space became distorted under the massive energy. Once the space distorted, it was impossible to use any spells to escape unless one had an extremely high cultivation.

Sun Dehai's complexion became extremely ugly. The space around him had become completely distorted. Even if he wanted to use the Blood Escape Technique to escape, it was impossible. Seeing that the lightning was getting closer and closer and was about to land in front of him, Sun Dehai had no other choice. Gritting his teeth, he took out a purple lightning shield and wrapped it around his body, wanting to forcefully block the lightning attack.

The lightning came crashing down, striking Sun Dehai's body. With a loud 'boom', the thunder shield shattered.

The purple lightning that was as thick as a bowl fell onto Sun Dehai's body. His body trembled, and all of his clothes were instantly burnt by the lightning. Then, he fell to the ground, his body constantly twitching. After twitching three times, Sun Dehai could no longer sense any of the Qi on his body. From the looks of it, he was already dead.

If the other cultivators saw this scene, they would naturally think that Sun Dehai was dead, but Lu Yang didn't.

Back in the South Sea Alliance, Lu Yang found out about how powerful the Nascent Soul stage cultivators were. Unless it was a sneak attack, it would be very difficult to kill them. With just a glance, Lu Yang determined that Sun Dehai wasn't dead. He was just electrocuted. He lay on the ground with his breath held, pretending to be dead to buy time for the injuries in his body to recover.

There were two main uses for this. One was to recover one's cultivation, and the other was to take advantage of an unprepared target to launch a sneak attack.

Since Lu Yang had seen through his thoughts, he wouldn't let this happen. His eyes flashed as he increased the amount of spiritual power left in his body and pointed towards a small mountain not far away. The next moment, a huge wave of energy landed on the mountain peak and an unimaginable scene occurred. The mountain peak moved and then rose up from the ground, flying towards Lu Yang at an extremely fast speed.

"Shifting Mountain!"

Lu Yang let out a low shout and under his control, the 100-foot-tall mountain directly smashed toward Sun Dehai.

If it was just an ordinary Mountain Shifting Technique, it might not be able to smash Sun Dehai, but Lu Yang had added extra weight to the Earth Element technique. As a result, the mountain became several times heavier and instantly reached an unimaginable height. If it were to land on a cultivator, there was no way for the cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage to resist it.

Even though Sun Dehai's cultivation base had reached the Nascent Soul Stage, he was still heavily injured, and without any defenses in place, how could he defend against this sacred art? Sun Dehai held his breath and did not release his soul consciousness, so he naturally did not know about the situation in the outside world. When he sensed the deathly aura approaching, he knew that Lu Yang had seen through his intentions and displayed his powerful supernatural ability to kill him in one fell swoop.

Helpless, Sun Dehai had no choice but to open his magma. He wanted to see what ability Lu Yang could use.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a massive shadow crashing towards him. Sun Dehai's eyes were wide open because a giant mountain peak had appeared in his pupils, and it was getting closer and closer. Sun Dehai quickly flipped over and flew out of the range of the mountain peak. But before he flew too far, he heard Lu Yang shout, "Polar Ice Peak!"

Lu Yang's perfect earth type and ice type magic were combined together. The mountain released a huge icy aura. This icy aura instantly reached the ground and completely froze the ground within a radius of five kilometers. As such, Sun Dehai's head hit the ice and bounced back to the ground. His mind became dizzy and he was unable to stand up for a short period of time.

After three breaths of time, there was a loud bang and the ground shook violently. The mountain of ice fell to the ground and dust flew up 100 feet into the air.

Sun Dehai knew that his physical body was bound to die. He abandoned his physical body the moment the mountain descended, and his Nascent Soul left his body, flying high into the sky.

The nascent soul did not have a physical body to restrict it, so its defensive power was almost zero. However, its flying speed had increased by several times.

If he wasn't prepared for it, there was a high chance that his Nascent Soul would be able to escape after leaving his body, because there was no way for him to catch up to someone of the same cultivation level.

Sun Dehai's nascent soul flew high into the sky, and after a few flashes, he was already over a hundred miles away. He shouted to the malevolent looking person behind him, "Child Lu Yang, just you wait, behind this old man's recovered body, the first person I want to kill is you …" His voice echoed across the sky as his Nascent Soul escaped. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a black dot and disappeared.
