Chapter 488 Ancestor Xuanming
Time seemed to be stretched.
At the heart of the churning dark clouds, a spatial rift slowly tore open, revealing a deep and dark depth.
Immediately afterwards, a foot stepped out from within.
With just one step, the air in the entire Blackwind City seemed to freeze.
He wore a black robe, had black hair, and a withered face, like an ancient corpse. Only his eyes shone brightly, like the flames of the netherworld.
He hovered in the air, without any fluctuation of spiritual energy around him, but the aura of superiority that he naturally exuded spoke volumes.
The middle stage of becoming a god!
Xuanming, the Dharma Protector Ancestor of Wanbaoge!
His gaze swept indifferently across the battlefield below, over the corpses of Wanbaoge scattered on the ground, and finally landed on the only girl in the field who could still maintain her standing posture.
The moment he appeared, Shen Rugo felt the immense pressure descend upon her, her bones creaking.
Immediately, the Five Elements Nine Revolutions Divine Skill was activated, and golden spiritual power surged within his body, instantly dissipating the pressure.
"A Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, no, an early Golden Core stage cultivator, actually withstood my pressure?"
The voice of the Xuanming Ancestor was dry and hoarse, "Little girl, you're not simple. You're the person behind the Star Pavilion Merchant Guild?"
His words were simple, yet they struck everyone's hearts like a heavy hammer.
At the same time, he also saw through Shen Rugo's true level at a glance.
"Early stage of golden elixir?"
"Only twelve or thirteen years old?"
"He withstood the pressure from the mid-stage Nascent Soul realm?"
……
Countless gazes were focused on Shen Rugo, some with surprise and doubt, some with shock, but most with disbelief.
Shen Rugo's eyes were clear and calm. "So what if it is?"
Four words, seemingly calm and undisturbed, yet earth-shattering!
"Ah……"
Ancestor Xuanming chuckled softly, "Little girl, you have guts. However, you should confess the sect behind you as soon as possible, then seal your cultivation and come back to the Myriad Treasures Pavilion with me to plead guilty. Perhaps, I can give you a less painful way to die."
He was stating a given fact: even if Shen Rugo was not intimidated by his pressure, she was still only at the early stage of Golden Core. No matter how heaven-defying she was, could she still defeat him, a Nascent Soul cultivator?
"Hehehe!"
Shen Rugo laughed too, "Old man, do you think that just because you're in the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, you can do whatever you want in this world and decide the life and death of others?"
"Stubborn."
Xuanming was furious and raised his hand to lightly tap Shen Rugo from a distance.
There was no dazzling light, no loud noise.
However, the air in front of his fingertips suddenly twisted and compressed, forming pitch-black ripples that were almost imperceptible to the naked eye, which shot towards Shen Rugo.
Wherever this ripple passed, space folded, and the annihilating power contained within was enough to kill a Nascent Soul and erase their soul along with it.
In that life-or-death moment!
Shen Rugo raised her hands, which had been hanging by her sides, and five beams of light of different colors shot out from her sleeves, arriving first and suddenly unfolding ten feet in front of her!
The first wave of light, pink and white, intertwined and instantly created a series of mesmerizing illusions – a high-level illusion array!
The second layer, a thick yellow light, with the power of the earth rising, forms an indestructible barrier cage—a protective array!
The third wave saw five-colored sword lights—white, cyan, black, red, and yellow—soar into the sky, intertwining and flowing, evolving the five elements' mutual generation and restraint, their sword energy chilling, forming a small five-element sword formation!
The fourth one, with the faint roar of dragons, is the Nine Dragons Fire Formation, composed entirely of blazing white flames, which coil and dance in the air. The high temperature almost melts the heavens and earth!
The fifth and final array, with its scattered starlight connecting to form a mysterious star chart, subtly echoing the night sky, was the prototype of the Zhou Tian Star Array, a formation created by Shen Rugo using the Nine Heavens Star Technique!
The five formations were not simply placed side by side, but were instantly superimposed and interlocked under Shen Rugo's control!
In the blink of an eye, the moment the five formations were completed, the ripples of Xuanming Ancestor's finger force also struck.
hum! ! !
The ripples collided with the outermost star array.
The array fluctuated violently, and the starlight flickered erratically, as if it might shatter at any moment, but it eventually stabilized!
The ripples of finger force were weakened and dispersed layer by layer. After penetrating the star array, its power was less than 30%. Then, it was twisted by the sword energy of the Five Elements Sword Array and rushed by the Fire Dragon, and finally completely dissipated.
"what?"
A noticeable change appeared on Xuanming's dead face. "Five formations stacked together? Interlocking? They actually managed to block an attack from thirty percent of my power?"
He could certainly see the power of Shen Rugo's five combined formations, but what was even more remarkable was the exquisite coordination and control she displayed.
"Such superb array formation skills! Little girl, you have successfully piqued my interest. Once I capture you and extract your soul, your array formation inheritance will belong to the Myriad Treasures Pavilion!"
Xuanming's eyes flashed, no longer arrogant. He spread his five fingers on his right hand and pressed down hard on the five-colored array light shield below!
This time, it's the true power of a Nascent Soul cultivator!
A gigantic hand appeared out of thin air, blotting out the sky and the sun, carrying a terrifying aura that could crush everything, and slowly pressed down on the five formations!
Even before contact was made, the ground below had already begun to crack and sink, and the air was crackling!
The five light shields trembled violently, creaking and groaning, as if they were about to collapse at any moment.
It's now!
"Uncle-Master Qinghe, make your move!"
Shen Rugo transmitted her thoughts.
The gray-robed old man, who had been hiding on the edge of the battlefield with his aura completely concealed, suddenly opened his eyes!
His eyes suddenly gleamed with a sharp light, and he showed no trace of old age!
He took a step and disappeared.
Spatial magic!
When it reappeared, it had already teleported behind Xuanming like a ghost!
He held a long steel sword in his hand, its tip gleaming with a blue light, and thrust it toward Xuanming's vital point in the back of his heart!
This sword strike was fast, accurate, and ruthless!
The moment the sword tip touched the black robe, the Xuanming Ancestor suddenly realized it!
The intense sense of impending death sent chills down his spine!
“化神初期？”
He was filled with shock and anger. At the critical moment, he forcefully shifted his body half a foot to the left, and his protective spiritual light and a close-fitting inner armor were instantly activated!
puff!
The steel longsword failed to pierce the heart, but instead pierced Xuanming's right shoulder. The sword energy burst forth, shattering half of his black robe and revealing a soft armor underneath.
The soft armor blocked most of the sword energy, but it also left a bloody hole in his shoulder blade!
"court death!"
Enraged, Xuanming swung his palm at Qinghe Daoist, the wind from which was chilling and bone-piercing, freezing the air.
Having landed a successful blow, Qinghe Daoren did not linger in the fight and quickly withdrew his sword.
The two instantly separated by dozens of feet, facing each other in mid-air.
Below, because Xuanming was injured, the power of the pitch-black giant palm was greatly reduced.
Shen Rugo's eyes sharpened, and she activated the formation with all her might: "Turn!"
The five overlapping light shields suddenly began to spin, and the light shields, like a giant millstone, collided fiercely with the giant hand!
Rumble!!!
A deafening explosion rang out!
The pitch-black giant hand exploded with a deafening roar!
The violent energy swept in all directions, scraping away a thick layer of the ground, and many nearby corpses and ruins were vaporized.
The five overlapping light shields dimmed instantly and shook violently, but ultimately held up!
Xuanming clutched his shoulder, his face so dark it looked like it was about to drip water.
He was actually injured by a Nascent Soul stage cultivator in a single exchange!
Although it was just a superficial injury, it was a great disgrace!
