Practice begins with immortality

Within the vast expanse of the Ji family's territory, there lay a tranquil and secluded cave. Within, a cultivator in the Void Refinement Stage, clad in Taoist robes and bearing the demeanor of an immortal, sat cross-legged on a cushion. His eyes were closed, his hands in hand seals, and a shrouded aura of spiritual energy enveloped him, as if he were one with the universe, absorbed in his meditation and cultivation.

However, at this moment, something strange happened. The Void Refining cultivator felt a strange, inexplicable, and extremely powerful invisible force suddenly descend upon him, sweeping over him like a surging wave, instantly enveloping him.

In an instant, he clearly felt that every cell in his body seemed to be ruthlessly torn apart by this invisible force. The pain was like a thousand ants gnawing at his heart, or like a raging fire burning his body, penetrating straight into his bones and even deeply into the depths of his soul.

"Ahhhhhh!!!!" Unable to bear the excruciating pain, the Void Refining cultivator couldn't help but let out a shrill howl. This scream resounded throughout the cave, echoing for a long time, making people's hair stand on end.

In just a moment, this originally powerful Ji family cultivator who had reached the refining stage was turned into a ball of ashes without any resistance, drifting away with the wind and completely disappearing from this world.

At this moment, similar scenes weren't limited to this cave dwelling. Throughout the Ji family's magnificent headquarters, screams echoed one after another, interweaving into a terrifying symphony of death. Some of these cries came from elders in seclusion, while others came from disciples busy with their duties. But without exception, they all suffered the same horrific fate.

Not only that, those clansmen who had left the Ji family for various reasons to go out on business or gain experience were also not spared. No matter where they were, as long as they were of the Ji family bloodline, they could not escape this sudden disaster.

The mastermind behind all of this was none other than Ji Xuanlong. As he unleashed his killing move, the power and life of the deceased Ji family members continuously flowed into him through the mysterious connection of time and space, causing his own strength to rise at an astonishing rate.

"what."

With the exhalation of a breath of foul air, Ji Xuanlong's injuries were not only completely recovered, but his strength was more than ten times stronger than before!

"Tianlong Sword, today is the day you will see the light of day again!" Ji Xuanlong's eyes opened wide, and a majestic aura emanated from his whole body. He looked up to the sky and let out a long roar, the sound was deafening.

Accompanied by this roar, the previously calm Dragon Abyss suddenly began to ripple, followed by a dazzling white light that shot up into the sky. As the light faded, a massive, snow-white dragon roared out from the Dragon Abyss. This white dragon was enormous, several thousand feet long, its scales gleaming with an icy light, giving off an air of majesty and inviolability.

After circling in the air for several times, the white dragon suddenly flashed and transformed into a four-foot-long white sword. The sword had a slender blade, intricately carved with dragon patterns, and the tip was so sharp that it seemed to be able to tear through the void with ease.

This Tianlong Sword, also known as the Dragon Tooth Sword, is carefully forged from twelve rare dragon teeth.

This was a peerless divine weapon wielded by Ji Xuanlong's father, the True Dragon Servant Ji Yuanxuan. With this sword, Ji Yuanxuan roamed the world, rarely encountering an opponent. Later, Ji Yuanxuan passed this precious sword on to his son, Ji Xuanlong.

However, due to Ji Xuanlong's patricide, the spiritual Dragon Tooth Sword no longer obeyed his commands. Therefore, after overcoming his tribulation, Ji Xuanlong expended immense magical power to seal it deep within the Dragon Abyss, attempting to slowly extinguish its spirituality and renamed it the Sky Dragon Sword.

Today, Ji Xuanlong relies on his own explosive strength to forcibly control the magic sword that once fought alongside his father.

"Hahahaha... Tianlong Sword, follow me and kill the enemy! Tianlong Moon-Devouring Slash!" Accompanied by a burst of wild laughter, Ji Xuanlong gripped the hilt of the sword with both hands like iron clamps, his arm muscles bulging and veins popping. He gathered all his strength into the sword and swung it violently.

In an instant, a flash of sword light streaked across the sky like lightning, dazzling and hard to look at. The sword light quickly condensed into a gigantic white dragon head, vivid and lifelike, as if possessing life itself. The white dragon bared its fangs and claws, spewing blazing flames from its mouth, and rushed forward at astonishing speed with the power to annihilate heaven and earth.

Seeing the terrifying sword-energy dragon roaring towards him, the War God couldn't help but feel a sense of threat. His previously cold and emotionless eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a hint of vigilance. Relying on the instinctive reflexes cultivated by vast combat experience, the War God subconsciously tried to sidestep the fatal blow. For a being as powerful as him, dodging attacks was not difficult.

However, just as the God of War moved, preparing to dodge the attack, something unexpected happened! Suddenly, from the endless void, an immense dragon claw emerged, obscuring the sky and emitting a terrifying pressure. This claw appeared without warning, as fast as lightning, and in the blink of an eye, it had firmly grasped the God of War.

The War God struggled mightily, but the dragon's claws were as strong as iron, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break free. At that moment, the white dragon head, transformed from the sword light, roared and rushed in front of the War God. The dragon head opened its bloody mouth, revealing rows of dagger-sharp teeth that flashed with a cold light, sending chills down his spine.

Immediately afterwards, a resounding thud echoed as the dragon's head fiercely bit down upon the War God. Like a gigantic guillotine, the dragon's fangs fell heavily, slamming into the War God's body. Instantly, sparks flew, and the sound of metal clashing was deafening. At this moment, cracks began to appear on the War God's indestructible body, spreading further and further.

After just a moment, the tall and mighty figure of the God of War shattered into countless fragments scattered all over the ground.

..............................................

"Huh, I finally destroyed this incarnation, but it's a pity that I have a backup plan for overcoming the tribulation."

Ji Xuanlong gasped and said, "That sword strike just now was his full strength. And the Dragon Annihilation was the means he prepared to overcome the tribulation."

After absorbing all the Ji family bloodline, Ji Xuanlong at this moment looked like a dragon-man mixed with a dragon-man.

"However, such a powerful incarnation must contain part of that person's consciousness. If the incarnation is destroyed, his mind will definitely be damaged. Therefore, I still have a chance of winning this battle!"

"Then I will have the opportunity to obtain that person's incarnation method, and then-"

Before he finished speaking, five gray-white chains suddenly flew out from the void, locking Ji Xuanlong's entire body. Then they were about to drag him into a mysterious world.
