148: Chapter 148 Fierce Battle in the Clouds

Old Daoist Qianyuan's Divine Sense stirred, and he was immediately detected by the Body Integration Stage Great Yao among the horde.

Although this Great Yao felt a premonition, he did not know what was about to happen; besides, there was no need to wait for him to discover it.

The sea of clouds churned, and patches of pristine white clouds suddenly bared their fangs!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Thunder rolled, lightning snakes danced wildly, and the sky turned into a scene of apocalypse.

These cloud-thunders contained the essence of the Five Elements, each manifesting wondrous phenomena.

They could transform into thunder based on the relative attributes of the enemies, delivering devastating strikes.

Destructive power comparable to the explosion of a Golden Core erupted within a radius of over a thousand meters, causing even the Void Realm to tremble and then fracture.

Shattered spatial fragments formed deadly blades, which, accompanied by the explosion of Five Elements Spiritual Qi, wantonly reaped lives among the Yao horde.

Hundreds of lesser Yao were pulverized instantly, without even a trace of blood left behind.

The various spirit fruits and mountain delicacies they were carrying were also destroyed immediately; some that luckily dodged the thunder fell to the ground, though it was unknown whose fortuitous encounter they would become.

As for the Great Yao, when the crisis arrived, they all let out wild roars and revealed their true forms.

A giant turtle, three large snakes, and four Dragons churned madly in the clouds, their Yao power, thick as dense clouds, wrapping layer upon layer around their bodies to resist the lightning attacks.

The true forms of the Yao Race have higher defensive and offensive capabilities than their human forms.

However, most Yao prefer to travel in human form, because the human form allows for much more agile control over Spiritual Qi and the body.

But when encountering life-and-death crises, they subconsciously reveal their true forms; this is the nature of life.

It was precisely because of this nature that several of the Yao suffered minor losses.

Their increased size meant they received more cloud-thunder attacks per unit area.

By the time they realized this, the thunder explosions accumulated by the cloud-thunder formation had been exhausted.

Except for the giant turtle, the snakes and Dragons all had several scales shattered, and they had also lost too much Yao power.

Although their damaged muscles were recovering rapidly, there was no doubt that Zhao Feng and the others would not give them time to recover.

Seven long rainbows suddenly rose from the ground, arriving like lightning.

In mid-air, the seven people completed their battle armor protection, each wielding their Magic Treasure to engage the monsters in one-on-one combat.

"Daoist Qianyuan, so it was you, you old ox-nose!" The Body Integration Stage Great Yao was both shocked and angry.

He swiped his claws to swat away the Flying Sword, his figure flickered, and he transformed back into human form.

Daoist Qianyuan smiled and said, "Luo Jiao, long time no see!"

Daoist Qianyuan wore a black battle armor, and on the chest plate, a white swimming fish swam around, looking exceptionally strange.

Luo Jiao grasped his hand, and a crimson long spear appeared in the Void Realm.

His body was quickly covered by red battle armor.

He knew his cultivation was inferior to Daoist Qianyuan's; even though the Yao Race were formidable, at most he could only fight to a draw, and if he were careless, he might even be defeated.

"Daoist Qianyuan, let's see if my Heaven-Piercing Spear can pierce your Swimming Fish Armor!" He thrust his spear forward.

Within the sharp edge, the Law of Sharpness was naturally mobilized.

It looked plain and unadorned, but in reality, its power was unparalleled.

Meanwhile, in other places, earth-shattering Spiritual Light also flashed.

Zhao Feng's great halberd executed a "Mountain-Splitting" strike, viciously hacking towards the Third Prince.

The Third Prince had also transformed into human form.

He was a rather handsome, fair-faced young man.

His pointed chin and delicate temperament made him look like a stunning woman dressed as a man.

However, a pair of peach-blossom eyes revealing lewdness made him look like a bad person.

"Brat, I, Qin Long, will definitely eat you!" He held a blood-colored long saber and lunged over with his whole body.

Zhao Feng parried with his halberd.

The collision of their weapons made both of them tremble.

Qin Long was slightly weaker in strength and stumbled back a few steps.

Qin Long's eyes shot cold light.

He stopped talking and instead charged over even more fiercely.

He was the strongest powerhouse in the valley, and no one had ever surpassed him in strength.

Being frustrated this time only stirred up his ferocity.

Battles at the Nascent Soul Stage were not as high-end as those at the Body Integration Stage.

Their weapons contained immensely powerful Spiritual Qi, but they did not involve high-end Law transformations.

Both of them used wide-open fighting styles.

Zhao Feng even had the foundation of the Great Dragon Fist, so he was very familiar with such simple and unadorned techniques.

As they fought, he became more and more adept.

Compared to the explosive fighting style here, the other two locations were much more dazzling.

The Black Snake and the fifth one, Daoist Huang, were both Spell Cultivators.

The brilliance of their colliding Spells even caused the daylight to lose its luster.

"Three Yang Divine Light, transform into vines, bind!" Daoist Huang pinched finger incantations in his hands.

The Lesser Yang, Sun, and Old Yang Samadhi Divine Light were transformed through special symbols, turning into three intersecting long rainbows that flew towards the Black Snake.

This Three Yang Divine Light exhausted the changes of the Yang attribute, taking the meaning of Yin being born at the extreme of Yang.

It contained a trace of Lesser Yin Qi within the pure Yang, capable of transforming according to one's will, manifesting thousands of wondrous uses.

Once locked by it, one would die amidst the ultimate changes.

The Black Snake was also an expert at playing with Profound Yin Qi.

Although he was a member of the Yao Race, his intelligence had awakened relatively late, and his research into cultivation theory was not deep, but his application of the Innate Yin Qi derived from his Bloodline was extremely proficient.

He instinctively felt the huge threat hidden in the Three Yang Divine Light, so he did not rely on his Physical Body to resist it head-on.

Instead, he pointed both hands, shooting two streams of Extreme Yin Qi from his fingertips.

This was his Innate Divine Ability, Extreme Yin Evil Qi.

The Three Yang Divine Light and the Extreme Yin Evil Qi intertwined.

The Three Yang Divine Light was varied and changeable, while the Extreme Yin Evil Qi had thick Yao power.

After the yellow and black ribbons of light intertwined for a while, they dissipated one after another.

"Good monster, take another one from me!" Daoist Huang's eyes lit up.

The changes in this Black Snake's Yin Qi were also extremely peculiar.

If he studied them further, he could probably comprehend an exquisite Spell.

Seeing his prey, he was delighted and wanted to force out more of the Black Snake's methods, so he used various strange Spells as if they were falling rain.

He saw that his fingers were like playing the pipa, constantly drawing around his body, and the surrounding Spiritual Qi also became unpredictable.

In the blink of an eye, a huge lotus blossomed, trapping the man and the monster inside.

"Behold my Blazing Red Lotus!"

The Black Snake's control over the Extreme Yin Evil Qi had just dissipated, and two Yin Qi arrows had already shot over to harass Daoist Huang, preventing him from preparing large-scale Spells.

But Daoist Huang had extremely rich combat experience.

These Spells were all at his fingertips.

Moreover, he was wearing battle armor and had put a Spiritual Light shield on his body before the battle started, so he completely ignored some harassing Spells.

Therefore, the Black Snake unexpectedly allowed him to complete a large-scale Spell without defense.

After the Spell was completed, the man and the monster appeared completely inside the Blazing Red Lotus.

Endless Yang-attribute Spiritual Qi turned into layers of petals, slowly rotating on the periphery.

Bursts of ethereal Sanskrit chanting lingered within the red lotus.

Clearly, this Spell also had the shadow of Buddhist Spells.

"Nascent Soul Domain!" The Black Snake exclaimed.

The Nascent Soul Domain was a unique Divine Ability of the Exit Soul Stage and above.

After the Nascent Soul completed its cultivation in the Nascent Soul Stage, it would naturally produce various wonders.

Like the Nascent Soul Domain, it was a Spiritual Qi Domain formed by Nascent Soul Spiritual Qi within a certain range, somewhat similar to Zhao Feng's Mountain Gods Domain.

In the Nascent Soul Domain, all non-self Spiritual Qi would be excluded, so the Exit Soul Stage could completely instantly kill cultivators below the Exit Soul Realm.

The Black Snake subconsciously circulated his Yao power, but found that although the Yao power was a bit stiff, the impact was not very great.

It was just that the external Yin-attribute Spiritual Qi was very difficult to enter the red lotus, so his Spells were considered half crippled.

Even more shockingly, one after another, human figures formed by Spiritual Qi appeared in the red lotus.

They lined up in neat formations and surrounded him.

"What kind of monster is this Daoist Huang!"
