Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

Yin Tianfu’s hands shook, and two silver iron balls appeared in his left palm. Immediately, black mist condensed above the iron balls, with a powerful force colliding within, contorting the mist into bizarre shapes, as if it would explode at any moment.

He lightly rebuked, and the mist, resembling a spiky sea urchin, rapidly smashed towards Zhang Yuanjing's head.

This was the Profound Water Art's ultimate move, the Profound Yin Thunderstorm.

Although called a thunderstorm, it didn't possess true lightning power but was described as extremely powerful.

However, if a cultivator advanced to the late Core Formation stage and cultivated this technique to the fifth level, it could indeed carry some lightning power.

Zhang Yuanjing dared not be careless, holding the Heavy Earth Art Sword and quickly channeling his mana to cast his strongest Earth Defense.

“Boom!”

The black mist exploded, and the earthen wall shattered in response, with countless black droplets flying towards Zhang Yuanjing.

At the same time, a thin layer of mist, almost transparent, slowly spread across the area between the two.

Zhang Yuanjing used another Earth Defense to block the splashing black droplets.

However, he felt no sense of relief.

The Profound Yin Thunderstorm was not a mana-intensive technique. With a magic weapon combined with the technique, a Core Formation cultivator as profound as Yin Tianfu could unleash at least twenty of them.

However, his two Earth Defenses consumed much more mana.

Although both were at the mid Core Formation stage, Zhang Yuanjing knew that he couldn't compare to Yin Tianfu in terms of cultivation.

Yin Tianfu cultivated the Xuantian Sect's direct lineage technique, and his cultivation method was the orthodox path passed down and refined over ten thousand years by the sect. He advanced from the early to mid Core Formation stage in one hundred and fifty years, with an incredibly solid foundation, and his cultivation was naturally much deeper than his.

Within the Xuantian Sect, except for those with extraordinary talents and deep opportunities like Wu Yuankui, who could soar and rapidly advance, most cultivators cultivated step by step, following the sect's teachings in an orderly manner.

Especially after entering the Core Formation stage, because they had newly acquired a spiritual mind, they needed to familiarize themselves with the way of guiding Qi with the spiritual mind. Therefore, they spent a relatively long time in the early Core Formation stage, generally more than a hundred years.

Therefore, the Xuantian Sect's Foundation Establishment elites, upon entering Core Formation, were generally around two hundred years old, but entering the mid Core Formation stage was often between three hundred and three hundred and fifty years old, but it became faster later on.

Zhang Yuanjing took less than thirty years to advance from the early to mid Core Formation stage. The breakthrough in his spiritual soul was natural, but his mana was somewhat forced, so he naturally couldn't compare to Yin Tianfu.

Yin Tianfu clearly understood this, so he started a war of attrition right away, quickly unleashing the second Profound Yin Thunderstorm.

Zhang Yuanjing was prepared this time, casting Earth Defense while retreating backward.

When the black mist collided with the earthen wall, he had already retreated more than twenty feet, and he easily dodged the black water when it shot out.

Yin Tianfu smiled sinisterly, dismissing Zhang Yuanjing's dodging movements, and continued to release the Profound Yin Thunderstorm.

After the Profound Yin Thunderstorm exploded, it would leave a lot of water mist in the air, gradually forming a more water-friendly environment of heaven and earth spiritual energy, both interfering with the opponent and enhancing itself. Therefore, Yin Tianfu was fearless.

Zhang Yuanjing couldn't be passively beaten like this. First, he cast Earth Defense to meet the Profound Yin Thunderstorm, advancing the timing of the defense. At the same time, he waved the Heavy Earth Art Sword and cast a Wild Sand spell on Yin Tianfu.

However, to his surprise, Yin Tianfu was only trapped by the Wild Sand for a breath before leaping up and escaping, giving him no chance to unleash the Armor-Piercing Axe.

This person's divine sense is not weak, and he understands some principles of array formations! Zhang Yuanjing pondered silently, thinking about how to deal with the enemy.

Yin Tianfu didn't use other methods because he had heard from Xie Tianwei that Zhang Yuanjing had two quite powerful spirit beasts that helped Liu Yuanqing kill many Thousand Sword Sect cultivators.

He didn't know why Zhang Yuanjing hadn't released his spirit beasts, so he only used the Profound Yin Thunderstorm to wear down Zhang Yuanjing, which was actually a test.

Since Zhang Yuanjing's spiritual soul breakthrough, his mind had become more intelligent. As his thoughts turned, he had already thought of this subtlety and felt that this was a place that could be exploited.

Of course, it was hard to say whether the opponent would follow his assumptions. After all, this Yin Tianfu was not a simple person.

He had no better way, so he could only start here.

He first used an Earth Defense to resist the Profound Yin Thunderstorm, then used Wild Sand to trap Yin Tianfu, then condensed an earthen wall above the Wild Sand, and then slashed out the Armor-Piercing Axe.

The series of spells caused his mana to be rapidly consumed, and he quickly took out a Spirit Fusion Pill and put it in his mouth, using the Devouring Technique to refine it.

Yin Tianfu originally thought that Zhang Yuanjing was just repeating his old tricks and was about to leap out, but he was unexpectedly covered by an earthen wall.

He reacted extremely quickly, releasing a black flying sword, and with a flash of light and shadow, split the earthen wall with one sword. Zhang Yuanjing just wanted to block him slightly, so the earthen wall he condensed was not very solid.

At this moment, the sound of wind rang behind Yin Tianfu's head, and a sharp weapon was slashing at him.

He was trapped in the Wild Sand, and his divine sense was restricted. Daring not be careless, he immediately threw out a mid-grade intermediate Water Shield talisman to block the sharp weapon.

Then, he gathered a mouthful of mana and rushed upwards.

However, there was another earthen wall pressing down from above.

Seeing Zhang Yuanjing releasing spells so frequently, Yin Tianfu was secretly surprised and was not sure of his intentions. He immediately held the black flying sword and merged with his body, killing towards the earthen wall.

“Boom!”

The earthen wall cracked, and he was about to take advantage of the situation to rush out of the Wild Sand, but unexpectedly, the sound of wind roared above, and dense black shadows smashed down.

This was Zhang Yuanjing, not hesitating to expend his mana, using another Rockfall technique, condensing dozens of large stones more than three feet in size in one breath.

Yin Tianfu didn't have time to offer a defensive magic weapon, quickly patted out a mid-grade high-quality Vajra Talisman, using the power of Vajra to protect his body, while waving the flying sword in his hand to deflect the large stones that were smashing towards his vital points.

Amidst the “bang bang” sounds, he was hit a few times, and golden light flashed on his body, so he was not injured, but the momentum of his upward flight was blocked, and he fell to the ground again.

At this time, the sharp weapon attacked from behind again.

He offered a black wooden shield, blocking it behind him, and concentrated his divine sense to observe it, discovering that it was an extremely sharp axe, and couldn't help but frown.

He knew that Zhang Yuanjing cultivated earth techniques. Coupled with such a powerful and heavy weapon, and with the Wild Sand obscuring his divine sense, it was quite difficult to defend.

So, he flew up again, wanting to escape from the Wild Sand.

He had already thought of a possibility, that was, Zhang Yuanjing had not released the two spirit beasts to besiege him together, but instead launched such a fierce attack on him, mostly because he was hiding some tricks, to consume and weaken him as much as possible, and then release the two demon beasts to carry out a sure-kill blow on him.

He himself did not raise spirit beasts, and did not expect that spirit beasts could not be released here, so he naturally came to this conclusion.

Zhang Yuanjing's sudden attack was actually to prompt him to misunderstand, thereby changing his previous war of attrition and fighting him with all his strength, so that he could find an opportunity to win.

As expected, just as Yin Tianfu flew up two feet, another earthen wall condensed out of thin air above, blocking him. This time, he didn't merge with his sword and rush out, but instead took back the wooden shield, guarding it by his side, and then offered a black flying sword, combining the two swords to kill towards the earthen wall.
