Mortal's Purple Sky Cave Heaven

Chapter 512 Intent
A wall of blue water, its top invisible, instantly materialized.

The same scene unfolded simultaneously at the edge of the entire sea area.

"go with!"

The old monster, Prisoner of the Demons, flicked his sleeve and unhesitatingly activated his magic technique.

Instantly, the roar of all the water walls and waves rose up, sweeping towards the center of the sea from all directions, carrying with them clouds of water mist.

Looking down from above, one can see that the blue seawater has formed a rolling curtain of water, enveloping the entire sea area.

Seeing this, the bald, burly man's face turned cruel. He looked at Nie Zhaonan and the other man, and burst into laughter:

"This place has been covered by the Vast Ocean Map, and you have no chance to escape."

"Why did you run away?" Nie Zhaonan raised an eyebrow and muttered to himself as he asked the question.

His voice wasn't loud, but all the Sea King Clan cultivators present were highly skilled and had sharp ears and eyes, so they naturally heard it clearly.

'What exactly is he relying on?' At this moment, the old monster of the Prisoner stared intently at Nie Zhaonan, and suddenly felt a sense of dread.

Just as everyone else was taken aback by Nie Zhaonan's unexpected words, a dazzling white light emanated from Yue Li's body, and wisps of cold air followed, instantly turning the entire sea area into a snow-white color.

"This is."

"Is he going to reveal his true dragon form and fight to the death?" The old monster Prisoner felt relieved upon seeing this, and a faint smile appeared on his aged face.

He thought the two people in front of him had some kind of backing, but it turned out they were just revealing their true dragon forms.

The next moment, the spiritual light faded, and a snow-white true dragon emerged in the air, its body winding and almost as large as the Cloud Palace Sacred Ship.

Although the aura emanating from the dragon before them was only at the Nascent Soul stage, it still caused most of the Mahayana cultivators present to feel a sense of pressure.

Without wasting words, Li Long suddenly flipped his claws, revealing a gleaming treasure fan in his hand—the Xuan Tian Shuang Hua Fan.

However, the Xuan Tian Shuang Hua Fan had become enormous and was held in the dragon's claws.

The moment the fan appeared, a chilling power naturally emanated from it. Without saying a word, Li Long swung the precious fan in his hand at the distant Qiu Chi.

The pure magic power, the power of laws, and even the essence of blood within the enormous dragon's body were all drawn away by Shuanghua's fan and absorption.

Li Long couldn't suppress the painful roar that escaped his lips!

With a roar, countless crystalline blue runes surged forth from the surface of the treasure fan, and palm-sized ice crystal flowers swept out in a mighty wave.

Most of them flew towards the Imprisoned Demon, while the remaining ice crystal flowers did not fly towards the group of Mahayana cultivators of the Sea King Clan, but instead headed towards the water curtain.

Seeing this, the old monster Prisoner sneered:
"Ridiculous. You are indeed powerful, able to unleash such might from your magical treasure, and even briefly prevented me from being frozen by your all-out attack. But that's all."

As soon as he spoke, streaks of purple lightning erupted from his body. The lightning swirled around him, yet intertwined in a highly regular pattern, eventually forming a giant egg that completely protected the old monster, Prisoner of Glass, within it.

The next moment, the ice crystal flower landed on the surface of the giant egg, and frost condensed. In the blink of an eye, it formed a huge block of ice, but the giant egg inside was not damaged at all.

"Purple Lightning Protection Technique!"

"This is the First Supreme Elder's strongest protective divine power! It can even block attacks from Xuan Tian Treasures. It is truly incredibly powerful, arising in an instant!"

Having witnessed the astonishing supernatural powers of the First Supreme Elder firsthand, all the Mahayana cultivators present became excited.

But at this moment, a flash of spiritual light appeared above Nie Zhaonan's head, and a miniature true dragon rushed out from his head. Then, a few flashes of silver light appeared, and a silver nascent soul materialized out of thin air. Its face was exactly the same as Nie Zhaonan's, which was his natal nascent soul.

That miniature dragon was the true dragon soul within Nie Zhaonan's body.

As soon as the nascent soul appeared, the true dragon soul above its head shone brightly in its eyes and shot towards the nascent soul with a swift movement.

With a loud "boom," a dazzling silver light shone brightly, and a tall figure instantly materialized on the spot.

The figure was covered in a shimmering silver light, with its skin and face covered in a layer of light silver scales, and two short dragon horns growing on its head.

When the Mahayana cultivators around them looked up at Nie Zhaonan, they were all shocked. The aura emanating from this person was now so powerful that it was not much different from that of an ordinary Mahayana cultivator!

At that moment, Nie Zhaonan simply raised one hand and gently pressed it down in the air.

Without any warning, a muffled thud erupted in front of the ice block that imprisoned the old monster, and a tremendous force, like a volcanic eruption, slammed into it.

Sensing the terrifying power contained within this immense force, the Sea Kings present, though their expressions changed slightly and they were somewhat surprised, remained standing motionless and began to converse with great interest.

"Indeed, this strike is no less powerful than that of a Mahayana stage cultivator."

“If I didn’t have to kill him to prevent future troubles, I would have been tempted to take this human cultivator as my disciple.”

"Among Nascent Soul cultivators, he is undoubtedly a strong one, but for Mahayana cultivators, this attack is ordinary. It might not even be able to break through a block of ice, let alone injure the First Supreme Elder. It's simply wishful thinking."

According to their guess, Yue Li and Nie Zhaonan should have tried their best to break through the formation and escape for their lives, but their attacks were directed at the First Supreme Elder, who was impossible to defeat. They really couldn't understand their intentions.

However, everything was under control, and since the First Supreme Elder had personally taken action, they wouldn't be so tactless as to interfere and spoil the First Supreme Elder's mood.

With a "bang," just as they had predicted, the ice block didn't even crack under that immense force, but the huge impact still sent it flying.

One of the Mahayana cultivators immediately moved to stop the flying ice block. After all, the first Supreme Elder of the Sea King Clan, even though he was temporarily frozen, was no match for being knocked away by a mere Nascent Soul cultivator.

But the moment the Mahayana cultivator moved, a dark spatial rift appeared behind the ice block. The rapidly thrown ice block flew into it, and then the spatial rift instantly closed. The spot was now empty; the ice block that had imprisoned the Imprisoned Demon Old Monster vanished in an instant before the eyes of all the Mahayana cultivators!
They didn't even have time to react.

Before the spatial rift appeared, even with their cultivation level, they were completely unaware of it.

For a moment, all around was silent!
"Spatial supernatural power, so powerful that we didn't even notice it. Could there be a Great Ascension stage Heavenly Phoenix here?" The tall, thin old man stared intently at Nie Zhaonan, who had returned to his original form, and said with no small amount of speculation.

Nie Zhaonan shook his head slightly, revealing a faint smile:

“If we really had helpers from the Mahayana stage, we would have called them out long ago.”

As the controller of Zixiao Cave Heaven, Nie Zhaonan's control over it naturally became stronger with the improvement of his cultivation. With a single thought, he could open a spatial rift and directly throw the Prisoner Old Monster into it.

Despite their all-out effort and the great commotion they caused, they suffered no harm. The reason was simply a feigned weakness to lull the group of Sea Kings into a false sense of security.

Well, in fact, the two of them did go all out.

Seeing Nie Zhaonan's confident demeanor, the tall, thin old man's expression darkened, and he said sternly:

"Even if you banished a Supreme Elder to the void, you are still no match for so many of us Mahayana cultivators. Besides, your master must have suffered a lot from forcibly activating the Xuanbao to unleash its strongest attack."

At this moment, the dragon hovering high in the sky vanished in a flash of light. When Yue Li appeared beside Nie Zhaonan, she revealed a beautiful face that was unusually pale, and her eyes regained some vitality as she spoke softly:
"Don't hesitate with them any longer. This place has been frozen by me. Even if they are all Mahayana cultivators, there is no way they can break through the cage formed by the two Xuan treasures stacked together. However, the commotion caused here is still too great. Let's deal with it quickly."

The other mysterious treasure she mentioned was naturally the Vast Ocean Map.

This diagram was originally used by the Sea King Clan to trap Nie Zhaonan and his companion, but now the frozen water curtain has become a prison for these Sea King Clan Mahayana cultivators.

"What arrogance! I'd like to see what tricks you have up your sleeve, daring to claim you don't take us forty-three Mahayana cultivators seriously. To be frank, even if the First Supreme Elder were to fight us, the outcome would be uncertain." The bald, burly man opened his mouth disdainfully, his voice booming.

"Hahaha"

Many Mahayana cultivators burst into unrestrained laughter.

“In that case, I, Nie, will grant your request!” Nie Zhaonan nodded slightly to Yue Li, then with a flick of his sleeve, the spatial rift reappeared.

The Sea King Clan's Mahayana disciples gazed intently, and saw endless golden light suddenly appearing within the dark spatial rift.

Soon, with a piercing buzzing sound, specks of golden light shot out, and these Mahayana practitioners finally saw what the golden light was.

These were ferocious beetles the size of fists, their bodies golden as if cast from iron, their thick and sharp forelimbs gleaming with a chilling light.

"Mature Gold-Eating Insects! How many are there?!" A Mahayana cultivator dressed as a Confucian scholar couldn't help but exclaim in surprise as he watched the overwhelming swarm of beetles descend.

As the endless stream of Gold-Eating Insects flew out of the spatial rift and quickly formed a vast expanse of golden clouds, the Mahayana cultivators present all turned pale.

"Not many, just 700,000. That's enough to deal with you." After releasing all the Gold-Eating Insects, Nie Zhaonan stomped his foot, and a light barrier instantly appeared on the Cloud Palace Sacred Ship, isolating all the Mahayana cultivators outside.

As a treasure of the Xuan Tian rank, the Cloud Palace Sacred Boat naturally has defensive capabilities. Even if these Mahayana cultivators joined forces, they wouldn't be able to break through the protective light barrier in front of them for a while, not to mention that these Mahayana experts were already too busy to spare any more energy.

After all, a mere thousand mature Gold-Devouring Insects are enough to terrify most Nascent Soul cultivators, while these Mahayana cultivators are facing 700,000 Gold-Devouring Insects. On average, each person has to deal with 16,000, and it's hard to say how long they can last.

Thinking of this, Nie Zhaonan and Yue Li looked up at the outside of the light screen at the same time, and saw that with a loud buzzing sound, the Gold-Eating Insects quickly flooded the area.

Faced with the Gold-Eating Insects, whose bodies were as hard as metal and whose claws were bared, a huge swarm of insects rolled in. In the blink of an eye, someone let out two screams and died on the spot. Under the opening and closing of the Gold-Eating Insects' fangs, they were devoured until there was not even a trace of their body.

"The mature Gold-Eating Insects have such strong defenses that even with a Heaven-Reaching Treasure, they are difficult to kill!" A Mahayana cultivator, surrounded by blood energy, said in extreme shock and anger after witnessing the tragic deaths of two fellow cultivators.

A continuous stream of blood energy surged from his body, engulfing him, but the Gold-Eating Insects also devoured this blood energy, at a speed no slower than the surging blood energy.

But he knew clearly that the blood and energy in his body were limited and could not last long.

Someone quickly realized the weakness of the Gold-Eating Insects and used jade-like treasures to trap the swarms of Gold-Eating Insects inside.

However, faced with their sheer numbers, this weakness was completely ignored by the Gold-Eating Insects, and in just a moment, the treasures were devoured.

In an instant, some of the weaker Sea Kings were swarmed by the overwhelming Gold-Eating Insects.

Left with no other choice, these Mahayana cultivators could only fight and flee, and for a time, roars, shouts, and booming sounds erupted in the high sky.

"Join forces to defend!" Someone shouted, and the other Mahayana cultivators immediately moved and gathered in the direction of the voice.

More than forty Mahayana cultivators gathered together and wiped out the large swarm of Gold-Devouring Insects in one fell swoop, forming a safe area of ​​about an acre in size.

The tall, thin old man wielded a massive black brick, hundreds of feet long, and with a single shake, sent thousands of gold-devouring insects flying.

But these gold-devouring insects were only swatted away a short distance. After shaking their heads and regaining their senses for a moment, they rushed forward again as if nothing had happened, baring their fangs and claws.

However, to Nie Zhaonan's slight surprise, a Sea King clan Mahayana cultivator radiating gray light activated a jet-black short sword in his hand, unleashing streaks of black sword energy.

These sword energies, upon striking the Gold-Eating Insect, penetrated its body without any hindrance.

Then, thumb-sized skulls immediately appeared on the insect's body. After a series of buzzing sounds and chaotic flight, the armored wings on the back of the Gold-Eating Insect suddenly stopped, and its limbs stiffened. It died instantly without any sign of life.

However, the black short sword seemed to have limited power, only able to release a wisp of sword energy at a time. In this short period of time, it only killed a few dozen gold-devouring insects, which had little impact compared to the huge swarm of insects.
