Chapter 368: Harvest 368
“What is this…?”
Youming Laozu observed with shock as the ghost fire around Gu Yang evaporated instantly, leaving a blank space of several hundred meters around him, even a Nascent Soul phase Ghost King that entered vanished instantly.
The key was that he couldn’t sense any mana fluctuations from him.
He didn’t know how the other party dissipated the ghost fires, nor how they killed the Ghost King.
Such a method was beyond his understanding.
Divine Power?
A thread of fear emerged in Youming Laozu’s heart.
What he acquired was a complete cultivation method, including the part beyond the Divine Power phase. He knew that cultivation beyond the Nascent Soul phase was completely different.
A Divine Power cultivator practiced the Way of Heaven. The Way of Heaven in this world had already collapsed, leaving only five incomplete strands, and they had all been claimed by others.
If others wanted to cultivate to the Divine Powers phase, they could only pick the leftovers, making it significantly harder.
Although Divine Power phase cultivators could only comprehend some Dao essences and not the true Great Dao, these methods were already godlike to Nascent Soul phase cultivators.
Nascent Soul cultivators basically borrowed the power of heaven and earth and could only go with the flow. Their Divine Powers and mana had to conform to the Way of Heaven.
To summon fire, mana was needed to increase the temperature to a critical point to “ignite” the fire element.
To use a lightning spell, dark clouds needed to be summoned, generating lightning within the thick cloud layer.
In short, any magic spell needed to follow the laws and rules of heaven and earth; they could not be generated out of thin air.
But after reaching the Divine Power phase, understanding the corresponding Dao essence could create something from nothing.
To summon lightning, there was no need for dark clouds; it could be summoned from thin air, skipping the intermediary process.
To summon fire, flames could appear.
To summon ice and snow, the temperature could instantly drop below freezing…
Such ability to almost directly change the rules was extremely terrifying.
Because this was beyond the comprehension of Nascent Soul phase cultivators.
Just like now, Youming Laozu could not understand through what means the opponent made his Ghost King disappear out of thin air.
Were they some kind of power that specifically restrained wronged ghosts?
Even though he was beginning to feel fear, he had no thoughts of retreating.
That thing was critical to his breakthrough to the Divine Power phase. No matter what, he wouldn’t give up easily.
“If you can restrain ghostly beings, then try this.”
Youming Laozu’s expression turned determined, and a red flying sword flew out from his Niwan Palace.
Based on the sword light, it seemed to come from the Orthodox Daoist School.
“A Pure Yang Flying Sword?”
Huang Yongkang, who was watching from afar, nearly popped his eyes out of his sockets.
A Pure Yang Grade flying sword was incredibly rare in this world.
Despite all his extraordinary encounters, the flying sword in his hand just barely reached Illusion God Level.
Moreover, this old devil’s sword light was nothing like those from ordinary side schools.
This exceeded his expectations greatly.
…
Everyone believed that Youming Laozu practiced some demonic skill, but they didn’t know that it was merely a disguise.
His ability to control ghost fire was purely due to the Ghost Diagram, which absorbed souls and used them for himself. These were features of this divine item.
In reality, he practiced the orthodox Daoist School’s methods — a heritage from an ancient sect. It was not much different from the cultivation methods of the big sects.
However, he never dared to show it in public.
Before him, there were people who had received the heritage of ancient sects. But once such people revealed their extraordinary talents, they would all end up with unfortunate deaths.
If they didn’t die at the hands of Left Sect powerhouses, they were killed by the big sects.
Therefore, he had always disguised himself as someone from the Left Sect, not daring to let anyone know, which allowed him to safely cultivate to his current state.
Throughout this journey, he had been extremely careful and cautious. Even after becoming a top figure among demonic cultivators, he never revealed his true foundation.
But now, he had no choice.
For that thing, he had to show all his cards.
The red flying sword morphed into a ray of sword light, tracing a beautiful arc. As it was about to reach Gu Yang, it suddenly divided into two, then four…
Within a blink of an eye, it turned into hundreds of sword threads.
This was the sword art which turned sword energy into threads.
Huang Yongkang, who was not far away, was dumbstruck.
Such sword art was enough to rival the Nascent Soul Elders of the top sects. Could this really be the legendary demonic being who ripped people’s souls to make a Ten Thousand Soul Flagpole?
…
The next moment, hundreds of sword threads entered the several hundred-meter range around Gu Yang.
Then, these sword threads also vanished into thin air without a trace.
“How is this possible?”
Youming Laozu’s eyes narrowed, his mind shocked to the extreme.
Right after, he lost the connection with his life-bound flying sword.
Thump!
He vomited a mouthful of blood on the spot. Losing his life-bound, life-sharing flying sword dealt him a heavy blow.
“Forbidden Magic Field, really useful.”
