Longevity: Starting with an infant's innate growth potential

"What's happening here?"

"Zhou Ling can actually control the Sunlit Immortal Sword?"

"Is this something anyone can do?"

Qi Jianzhi and the others were terrified when they saw Zhou Ling suddenly fly out of the magic array. But they never expected that Zhou Ling would be able to control the fifth-order Sun Immortal Sword and directly break through the blood domain of that arrogant fifth-order Star Sea alien.

This greatly shocked them; they hadn't expected it at all.

It should be noted that the Sunlit Immortal Sword is a fifth-tier superior-grade sword, and even Fei Qinan, who is in the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, cannot fully control it.

Zhou Ling did it so easily.

Judging from the Golden Sun Sword Qi that Zhou Ling just unleashed, its power is much greater than that of Fei Qinan.

"Could it be because he repaired the Sunlit Immortal Sword, causing it to recognize him as its master?"

Pei Qingshuang's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and she said with considerable surprise.

"That's impossible! The Sunlit Immortal Sword is a high-grade fifth-tier sword, and it already possesses sentience. It's impossible for it to be mastered by a Golden Core cultivator!"

Feng Lan shook her head.

As a fourth-realm sword cultivator, she believed that the Sun Immortal Sword could not possibly recognize Zhou Ling as its master.

Because swords that reach the fifth rank generally develop sentience.

The sword is the weapon of the strong, and it only submits to the strong.

Even a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator would find it difficult to gain the recognition of a master for a sword as precious as the Sunlit Immortal Sword.

Moreover, the Sunlit Immortal Sword has killed many alien races in Sunlit Immortal City, so its requirements for recognizing a master would only be higher.

Only a dominant power can be worthy of the Sunlit Immortal Sword.

Even if Zhou Ling repaired the Sunlit Immortal Sword, it would be completely impossible for him to do so.

However, she was also filled with doubt.

If Zhou Ling cannot subdue the Sunlit Immortal Sword, how can the power of that sword strike just now be explained?

Even Feng Lan, a fourth-level sword cultivator, couldn't figure it out.

The other four looked completely bewildered.

"No matter what, Brother Zhou's ability to control the Sunlit Immortal Sword is definitely a great thing for us!"

Although Qi Jianzhi couldn't figure out the reason, he was overjoyed.

Since Zhou Ling is able to control the Sunlit Immortal Sword, their safety level has undoubtedly increased significantly.

"Brother Zhou, well done!"

Having narrowly escaped death, Fei Qinan coughed violently, then looked at Zhou Ling with surprise in his eyes, giving him a thumbs-up in praise.

If Zhou Ling hadn't appeared in time, I probably wouldn't have been able to withstand the attack from that alien blood domain in the Star Sea.

While feeling lingering fear, he was also shocked at how Zhou Ling was able to control the Sunlit Immortal Sword.

Originally, because the Sunlit Immortal Sword had not fully recovered, its power was limited.

But in Zhou Ling's hands, its power was several times greater than that of him, a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

This was something he really couldn't understand.

How did Zhou Ling, a Golden Core cultivator, manage to do this?
As a fifth-tier weapon refiner, he naturally knew that even if Zhou Ling could repair the Sunlit Immortal Sword, he would absolutely not be able to unleash such power.

"Senior Fei, you should rest for a bit. Let me deal with this fellow!"

Zhou Ling said to Fei Qinan.

Through his [Intermediate Observation], he knew that Ficchinan was already at his limit. If the fight continued, his internal injuries would be aggravated, which would be even more dangerous.

Therefore, he could only shield him for the time being.

Even if he didn't think he had much of a chance of winning, he couldn't just stand by and watch Ficchinan die.

Moreover, they possess spiritual flames such as the Sunlit Immortal Sword and the Blazing Sun Flame, which greatly suppress the blood domain of the Star Sea Alien Race.

Even if I can't stop the other party, I can find a way to escape later.

"No!"

Fichnan quickly said, "You alone are no match for him. I'll deal with him, and you can assist me!"

Zhou Ling was only at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm. Although he had just successfully activated the Sunlit Immortal Sword to defeat the fifth-tier Star Sea alien race, he was still only at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm.

However, given his cultivation level, he might not be able to unleash another sword strike.

Although I know that Zhou Ling once killed a fifth-tier demon beast in the Five Spirits Immortal City, that was with the help of the Five Spirits Immortal City's warship formation.

With the strength of a Golden Core cultivator, it is simply impossible to cope with the power of a fifth-order Star Sea Alien Blood Domain.

Under this suppression of the blood domain, Golden Core cultivators simply cannot resist in the slightest.

Although his injuries were somewhat out of control, he was unwilling to watch Zhou Ling take such a risk because of his own condition.

Moreover, this would put the human cultivators at a disadvantage in the entire battle.

If we cannot hold off this fifth-tier Star Sea alien, his joining any battle group would be a devastating blow to human cultivators.

"Senior Fei, just listen to me."

"I possess a fifth-tier spirit flame; their blood domain might not be able to suppress me!"

Seeing the resolute expression on Fei Qinan's face, Zhou Ling hurriedly spoke up.

"No, the risk is too great!"

Ficchinen still resolutely shook his head.

With Zhou Ling's potential, his future achievements in weapon crafting will definitely surpass theirs.

He naturally didn't want to see him take such a risk.

If he were to perish, it would be a tremendous loss for the Dao Alliance.

"Alright, Senior Fei, you can cover for me!"

Seeing that he couldn't persuade Fei Qinan, Zhou Ling stopped talking and immediately charged towards the fifth-order Star Sea alien.

"Hey!"

Seeing Zhou Ling rush out, Fei Qinan could only watch helplessly.

For now, he can only watch. If Zhou Ling is in any danger, he can only do his best to help.

"Brother Zhou, you've made a foolish mistake! You actually attacked a fifth-tier Star Sea alien race on your own initiative. This is really the end for us!"

Qi Jianzhi was surprised to see Zhou Ling actually charging towards the fifth-order Star Sea alien race.

For them, that last sword strike was already extremely lucky.

Originally, taking advantage of the opponent's fear of the Sunlit Immortal Sword, they retreated, which would have eliminated any risk.

But Zhou Ling did something else entirely. Instead of retreating, he charged towards the fifth-tier Star Sea alien race.

"He's only just unleashed a sword strike, yet he dares to directly challenge a fifth-tier Star Sea alien race. Zhou Ling's audacity is simply too great!"

Pei Qingshuang also looked puzzled.

Her opinion was the same as Qi Jianzhi's, but Zhou Ling had already missed the opportunity.

"You are not sword cultivators, you don't understand the heroic spirit of sword cultivators who dare to challenge heaven and earth!"

Instead, Feng Lan praised him.

For sword cultivators, regardless of their cultivation level, they must always maintain a spirit of courage and perseverance.

No matter how strong the opponent is, you must have the courage to fight.

Even if you are defeated, you must become more courageous and resilient.

Only in this way can one's swordsmanship continuously progress and improve.

To be honest, if Zhou Ling were in her shoes now, even with the Sunlit Immortal Sword in her hand, she wouldn't have the courage to fight against a fifth-tier Star Sea alien race.

After all, their strength is undeniable, and they have absolutely no chance of winning.

"Feng Lan, is there any way we can help Brother Zhou?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Jianzhi also spoke up.

Knowing Zhou Ling's current situation, the risks are enormous.

He also wanted to help Zhou Ling, at least to give him a chance to return to the defensive shield.

"With Senior Fei here, there shouldn't be any danger, right?"

Pei Qingshuang spoke up.

Even if the four of them attacked together, they would not be a match for that fifth-order Star Sea alien.

Going on such an adventure would be an extremely foolish thing to do.

Zhou Ling is different from them; at least he still has the Sunlit Immortal Sword in his possession, which could be activated if he succeeds.

With the power of that sword strike, Zhou Ling does have the ability to fight back.

It all depends on how many sword strikes Zhou Ling can unleash.
Feng Lan shook her head slightly; she had no other options either.

If it were a mid-stage fourth-tier Star Sea alien race, she naturally wouldn't be afraid, but a fifth-tier one, she had no chance. Going there would only be suicide.

Seeing the attitudes of the two, Qi Jianzhi said nothing more, looking at the battle in the air with a tense expression.

"A third-tier human! How is that possible?"

The alien race from the star sea also recovered from their shock, and their expressions showed extreme fear of Zhou Ling, who was controlling the Sun Immortal Sword.

But when he saw Zhou Ling clearly, his eyes showed disbelief and surprise.

The language it spoke was ancient Taoist terminology.

It is applicable to both humans and other races.

Zhou Ling and the others were also able to understand.

The Starsea Aliens are a powerful race in the Starsea, even stronger than the human race.

Like humans, they have their own cultivation system.

The human race divides them into nine ranks, corresponding to the human race's Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, and Golden Core stages.

Zhou Ling was a Golden Core cultivator, so in his eyes, he was a third-tier human.

The fact that a third-tier human could wield a fifth-tier Sunfire Immortal Sword naturally shocked him immensely.

After all, that sword strike had truly made him feel immense danger.

I originally thought it was that fifth-tier human who made the move, but I didn't expect it to be a mere third-tier human.

How was this done?

"Nothing is impossible; even killing you is perfectly normal!"

Zhou Ling said calmly.

Based on the battle between the opponent and Ficchinan just now, under the [Intermediate Observation] level, he was able to roughly discern the rules contained within the opponent's blood domain.

The main rules are blood domain suppression and corrosion.

I can deal with both of these rules using the Blazing Sun Flame.

With the help of the Sunlit Immortal Sword, perhaps we could put up a fight.

Without this analysis, even if he were very confident, he would not have taken such a risk.

"A third-tier human? I really don't know where you get your confidence. Since you're so eager to die, I'll grant your wish!"

After confirming Zhou Ling's cultivation level several times, the alien race in the star sea revealed a look of disdain in their eyes.

Blood-red lines flashed on his forehead, and his body suddenly swelled up.

His body surged with blood energy, and a huge blood domain condensed, within which a huge, eerie blood face materialized.

"hiss!"

When the blood-faced creature opened its mouth, a vortex of crimson blood swept out.

It instantly traversed several miles, sweeping down from the sky towards Zhou Ling.

Out of concern for the Sunlit Immortal Sword, the alien race from the Star Sea did not dare to approach Zhou Ling quickly.

Although I knew that Zhou Ling was indeed only at the third level of cultivation, the danger of that sword strike was still very real.

Therefore, he decided to test the waters first.

Zhou Ling waited for a long time, then twirled the Sunlit Immortal Sword in his hand, and a blazing golden sword sun surrounded him.

The next moment, the crimson vortex poured down like blood rain, crashing into Jian Yang.

Sizzling sound.

These blood rains possess immense corrosive properties, seemingly intent on corroding Jian Yang.

Meanwhile, the crimson vortex in the sky did not dissipate; instead, it grew larger and larger, with swathes of blood raining out from it.

It completely enveloped Zhou Ling.

It resembled a vast, blood-red ocean.

"This is the power of the rules of the alien races in the Star Sea."

Surrounded by the blood domain, Zhou Ling felt immense pressure, corrosion, illusions, and other strange forces.

Even with Jianyang protecting him, he still felt a terrifying suppression and corrosive power.

His entire body felt as if it were bearing the weight of a giant mountain.

If it weren't for the Sunlit Immortal Sword also unleashing its powerful Golden Sun Sword Domain to block this blood domain...

Even with his late-stage third-tier body refinement, he would be directly crushed into mincemeat.

These two rules of suppression are only one of the attributes of the opponent's blood domain.

At the same time, Zhou Ling felt a blood domain gathering within his sea of ​​consciousness, trying to suppress it.

It quickly devoured his soul power.

"The blazing sun burns the sky with fiery flames!"

Zhou Lingli shouted.

"Hoohoo!"

The blazing sun flames instantly condensed and roared up in his hand.

"Zizi!"

The blazing sun and the blood domain clashed fiercely.

A deafening explosion erupted instantly.

The surging Blazing Sun Flame burst forth like a blazing sun, instantly incinerating the blood domain surrounding him.

The crimson vortex also exploded and dissipated.

"Fifth-tier Spirit Flame."

Seeing the fifth-order spirit flame shatter his blood energy vortex, the fifth-order star-sea alien in the distance looked surprised. They did not expect that a third-order human could not only control the fifth-order Sun Immortal Sword, but also possess a fifth-order spirit flame.

This was a situation he had never encountered before.

How is this done?
"Brother Zhou actually broke through the blood domain of a fifth-tier Star Sea alien race head-on? Is this a dream?"

Upon seeing this, Qi Jianzhi also looked horrified and said.

They originally thought that Zhou Ling was trapped in the Blood Domain and was likely in grave danger.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Ling was able to withstand the Blood Domain attack of a fifth-order Star Sea alien by relying on his fifth-order Spirit Flame and Sword Sun.

This is unheard of.

Let alone Golden Core cultivators, even Nascent Soul cultivators would have no chance of survival against such a Blood Domain.

"How did Zhou Ling do that?"

Pei Qingshuang also looked shocked as she spoke.

Zhou Ling's first activation of the Sunlit Immortal Sword was, to say the least, a stroke of luck.

However, this would mean a direct confrontation with the opponent's Blood Domain, leaving no room for trickery.

Whether it's Spirit Flame or Sword Sun, it's all a display of Zhou Ling's strength.

Feng Lan was equally shocked, but also breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Her eyes also revealed concern for Zhou Ling.

Similarly, Ferdinand also relaxed, as Zhou Ling's combat power at this moment was completely beyond his expectations.

No wonder they dared to confront the fifth-tier Star Sea alien race head-on.

However, that alien from the star sea was merely launching a probing attack.

With a flick of his wrist, an overwhelming surge of blood energy swept outwards.

A blood dragon hundreds of feet long materialized, roaring ferociously, opening its blood-red maw, and fiercely pouncing down on Zhou Ling.

It looked as if it wanted to devour it whole.

At this moment, Zhou Ling was shrouded in the blazing sun and scorching flames, like a god of fire.

The Five Elements Bright Sun Sword Heart condenses within the body.

Suddenly, beams of intensely bright golden sword light appeared on the Sunlit Immortal Sword.

Like a golden sun bursting forth, it lunged towards the blood dragon.

"Boom!"

Jianyang and the Blood Dragon clashed fiercely.

The formidable blood dragon was pierced through in just a few breaths.

"how is this possible?"

This scene horrified the fifth-tier interstellar alien race. (End of Chapter)
