Immortality and Cultivation: This old man seeks enlightenment through mere survival.

Within the clouds, the Asura's gaze swept arrogantly into the depths of the thunderclouds.

Because of the intense fluctuations in the previous battle, Lu Zaian had already sensed that several bolts of heavenly lightning were firmly locked onto him.

Among them were two streaks of purple lightning.

That was a full-force attack comparable to the late Foundation Establishment stage.

Even I wasn't entirely confident I could take it on.

But as the saying goes, once the arrow is on the string, it must be released.

The lightning bolt had already locked onto him, leaving him no way to dodge and only the option to take it head-on.

boom--! !

The next moment, an endless roar came from the clouds.

The entire dark thundercloud was illuminated by the flashes of lightning!

The shadow of the Asura figure, standing on the clouds, appears even taller and more majestic.

First, white and black lightning struck the Asura's body.

Faint scorch marks appeared on the blood-red skin, which complemented the black magic patterns perfectly.

The violent lightning factors surged wildly within his body, eroding his limbs, bones, flesh, and fascia, causing considerable damage.

Lu Zai'an activated his supernatural powers!

The Asura's body was covered in bulging veins and bulging muscles, using his physical body as a furnace to refine the essence of lightning.

"My God, is that senior refining heavenly lightning?"

"How dare he? The power of each bolt of heavenly lightning is comparable to the full-force attack of a Foundation Establishment cultivator!"

"What terrifying supernatural power! I can't even imagine how strong his physical body must be!"

Beneath the thunderclouds.

The group of low-level cultivators stared in disbelief at the towering figure in the sky.

Ordinary cultivators would avoid heavenly lightning like the plague.

This senior, however, used his physical body to withstand and refine it, which was truly terrifying.

boom--! !

However, the next moment, endless purple light suddenly shone from the dark thunderclouds.

Like the sun rising in the east, auspicious purple clouds come from the east!

The sky within a radius of a hundred feet was illuminated by purple light.

A purple glow, like fiery clouds, spread across the sky!

Two thick bolts of purple lightning were seen brewing deep within the thunderclouds.

Upon appearing, they transformed into two ferocious purple dragons and charged straight at the Asura!

"Hiss... Purple... Purple lightning?!"

"It's attracted purple lightning! Get out of the way!!"

The low-level cultivators on the plain below gasped in shock.

The crowd scattered like startled birds.

The lingering power of the purple lightning was extremely oppressive!

If it accidentally lands on the plains and affects them...

I'm afraid they'll all be instantly cleaved into ashes.

The low-level cultivators watching the spectacle below could escape, but the Asura Form could not.

"Drink!!!"

Since we can't avoid it, let's fight!

The Asura roared to the sky, his entire body burning with energy.

Its flames soared straight into the sky, like a giant reborn from the ashes.

He stretched out his arms and reached straight for the two purple lightning dragons!

Tsk tsk tsk! ! !

The instant the two touch.

Lu Zaian then felt a piercing numbness and burning sensation coming from his fingertips.

The purple lightning had already acquired a trace of sentience.

The two dragons that had transformed into struggled wildly in his palm.

It almost burned Asura's palms to a crisp!

Immediately afterwards, the purple heavenly lightning surged into the body of the Asura Form as if it had been thrown into the sea.

The Asura's body emitted purple light, as if it had transformed into a semi-transparent lightning giant!

Purple arcs of electricity flickered and danced in the seven orifices of the eyes, mouth, and nose.

"Uhhhhh!!!"

The immense and violent energy had exceeded the scope of what supernatural powers could refine.

From a distance, it looked as if two purple lightning dragons were tightly coiled around the Asura's body, causing him to roar in pain.

The next moment, a burst of bloody light contracted, and the Asura form transformed back into Lu Zaian's original form.

"puff!"

A large mouthful of charred blood spurted out, along with fragments of internal organs!

These two bolts of purple lightning nearly pierced through Lu Zaian's internal organs, flesh, and meridians, burning him to ashes!

If it were a typical mid-Foundation Establishment body cultivator, they would probably be doomed.

It can only be said that Lu Zaian's body itself is extraordinary, and the use of [Law of Heaven and Earth] provides him with powerful resistance.

Only then can one barely survive.

However, Lu Zaian was definitely not having an easy time either.

Currently, his body is still filled with a vast and boundless amount of heavenly lightning energy.

He forcibly suppressed these energies with his supernatural powers, but was unable to refine their essence immediately.

This was simply because the energy of this heavenly lightning was far too violent.

"This is the first time I've suffered such severe trauma since I hatched."

We need to hurry back to the original body for help...

Fortunately, I've also obtained the spiritual water. After my main body refines this heavenly lightning essence, I can share some with it.

Lu Zaian dragged his heavily injured body to the ground.

Fortunately, the crowd that had gathered around had fled in fear of the power of the purple lightning.

Therefore, no one noticed Lu Zaian's landing.

Lu Zaian used his last remaining essence to perform the Longevity Transformation.

Disguise yourself as an ordinary low-level cultivator and leave quickly!

Now he is seriously injured and can no longer fly in the clouds.

Fortunately, he had also driven away the pursuers, and they wouldn't be able to catch up for a while.

Moreover, the so-called blood and qi tracking technique of Blood Fiend could not possibly track Lu Zaian, whose aura had completely changed after the "transformation of immortality".

So for now, we're safe.

.........

Ten days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Lu Zai'an's clone left the Thunderfall Plain and finally reached the range that his main body could sense.

The memories between the two were linked, and the main body instantly read the experiences of the clone over the past few days.

In an unnamed valley.

The formation was activated, and the two merged.

"Tsk tsk... You're such a troublemaker."

"Just asking you to find some spiritual water has caused so much trouble..."

Lu Zaian's main body looked at his tattered and disheveled clone and couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.

The Nine Netherworld clone gave him a disgruntled look:

"What are you afraid of? It's not like I'm using your name. Besides, I only contacted you because I sensed no one was chasing me."

makes sense.

The Nine Netherworld clone never revealed Lu Zaian's identity from beginning to end.

Outsiders all thought it was just the scholar in blue robes returning to the martial arts world.

Who would have thought that Lu Zaian was the real mastermind behind it all?

After all, Lu Zaian hadn't appeared in the public eye since the chaos in Huangze City...

"Alright, the priority is to heal your wounds first," Lu Zaian nodded.

"Cough cough... This injury is quite serious, you need to give me more blood and energy!"

The Nine Netherworld clone coughed up blood, covering his mouth, and said weakly.

He withstood two bolts of purple lightning and traveled for ten days despite his severe injuries.

It was almost completely exhausted.

"Of course, you've done a great job this time."

Lu Zaian also generously transferred his own vital energy to his clone.

They come from the same source, so there is no exclusion between them.

The ever-flowing energy of blood and qi transformed into a surging tide, rushing into his clone's body to help repair and nourish his injuries.

The previously depleted dantian and damaged tendons and flesh were all healed.

The Nine Netherworld clone sat cross-legged on the spot, unable to help but let out a pleasant "groan".

"Phew...that feels good."

Then the next moment.

The violent heavenly lightning energy that had been dormant within the clone surged out again.

They transformed into miniature purple lightning dragons, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws!

As if guarding its own territory, it devoured the blood and energy that Lu Zaian had brought in!

"Heh, after a few days you've lost your sense of right and wrong, haven't you?"

Lu Zaian snorted coldly.

These lightning energies are the culprits that caused the clone to be severely injured.

They are constantly destroying the flesh and blood tissue inside the body.

Otherwise, given the clone's regenerative abilities, it would have recovered long ago.

However, now these violent lightning energies are even trying to devour the blood and energy that the main body has transferred in.

This is a bit much.

Let me show you who the true owner of this body is!

Lu Zaian's eyes blazed with fury as he chose to burn his longevity essence blood.

In an instant, a torrent of vital energy surged into the clone's body.

This surge of energy also transformed into countless tiny, blood-red dragons, rushing towards the purple lightning dragon.

The two fought a tug-of-war, using the interior of their bodies as the battlefield!

"snort……!"

The clone groaned, his face turning red, but fortunately it was within his tolerance.

With the help of the original body, he has recovered most of his health.

Now all that's left is the final, violent burst of heavenly lightning energy.

A roar—!!

The crimson dragon and the purple thunder dragon entangled, wrestled, and tore each other apart.

It's like two armies clashing...

However, the energy of heavenly lightning eventually ran out of power.

Unlike Lu Zaian's blood and qi, which can be replenished indefinitely.

As time went by, the purple thunder dragon was gradually devoured and refined by the blood-red dragon.

This process lasted for a full month...

"call……"

When the two of them opened their eyes at the same time, they exhaled a breath of stale air.

Finally, the last trace of violent heavenly lightning energy within the clone was also refined.

It transformed into the purest essence of heaven and earth, becoming nourishment for the main body and its clones to cultivate supernatural powers.
