The Heavens: From Film and Mythology to Conquering Myriad Realms

"Mysterious Yin Sword!"

Tian Buque gave a soft shout, and a jade talisman shaped like a small sword appeared in his hand.

"Hmph! So what if it's a fake core? Under the power of my true treasure, the Xuan Yin Sword, it can only become a lonely ghost!"

Tian Buque sneered and immediately activated the small sword talisman in his hand.

This Xuan Yin Sword, a true treasure, was specially forged for him by his father, a Nascent Soul cultivator, who once told him:

Those who have reached the Core Formation stage are certain to die, so even Core Formation cultivators must prioritize escaping.

It is evident that the Nascent Soul cultivator who crafted this treasure put a great deal of effort into its creation.

"A real treasure?"

Lu Yao frowned slightly. The aura emanating from this treasure made him feel a bit threatened; it was clearly not simple.

Suddenly, the small sword in Tian Buque's hand unleashed terrifying Xuan Yin sword energy, condensing into a transparent demonic sword in the air.

"Azure Thunder!"

Lu Yao wouldn't sit idly by and wait for such a powerful treasure to fully charge up; he immediately unleashed his most powerful Azure Sky Divine Thunder.

Now, under the protection of the Thunder Prison Barrier, the Azure Sky Divine Thunder was as instantaneous as if it were being unleashed, directly striking down a bolt of azure lightning from the sky.

"Boom!"

A thunderous roar resounded, and the Xuan Yin Demon Sword, which had just condensed in the air, was struck squarely.

The terrifying power of lightning directly shattered the Xuan Yin Demon Sword, breaking it into two pieces. After a burst of Yin energy, it finally dissipated into the world.

"How can such a powerful magical ability be activated instantly?"

Tian Buque stared blankly at the Xuan Yin Demon Sword that had vanished into thin air, his face filled with terror.

True treasures are extremely powerful, often imbued with the magical energy of the cultivator who crafted them, so only those with close blood ties can use them.

The parallel activation speed is already quite fast; it only takes two breaths to successfully activate.

But Lu Yao's Azure Sky Divine Thunder came too fast, in less than a breath. What's the difference between that and an instantaneous attack?

Just as Tian Buque was in a daze, the three remaining Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Hehuan Sect quickly came to his side.

"Young Master, run! This man is not to be fought by force. We will cover your retreat!"

The three looked anxious. Before Tian Buque could speak, they used their magical weapons to attack Lu Yao.

Seeing this, Tian Buque knew that the pursuit had completely failed and resulted in heavy losses, and he would be severely punished when he returned.

Tian Buque gritted his teeth and quickly activated a beam of light, intending to escape.

"Trying to escape? Too late. You'd better stay."

Lu Yao smiled slightly, and with a thought, he instantly unleashed three Nether Thunder Arrow spells, which transformed into three bolts of lightning that shot towards the three Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Joyful Union Sect.

All three summoned their defensive magical artifacts, but they were powerless against Lu Yao's Nether Lightning. All their defensive artifacts were pierced, and the three of them died on the spot.

When Tian Buque glanced back casually, he saw the three men who had covered his retreat dying, and he was filled with horror.

Seeing Tian Buque still fleeing, Lu Yao's lips curled up slightly.

As the Thunder Prison Barrier began to change, countless bolts of lightning instantly fell from the sky, like lightning serpents, surrounding Tian Buque.

Tian Buque hurriedly used his Heavenly Yin Demonic Qi to protect himself, his expression extremely ugly.

Thunder Prison Barrier is a relatively comprehensive supernatural power. Its main function is to create an environment with lightning attributes, which can add three points of power to lightning magic.

In Lu Yao's hands, it underwent many transformations, and its effectiveness was remarkable in attack, defense, and encirclement.

"You can't kill me! My father is a Nascent Soul Ancestor, and I am the young sect master of the Joyful Union Sect!"

"Killing me will only bring you endless trouble. There will be no place for you to live in the entire Tiannan!"

"If you release me, I promise I will never cause trouble for the Hidden Moon Sect again. What do you think, fellow Daoist? I can even offer you my storage bag!"

Tian Buque's lips twitched involuntarily. He knew that he couldn't escape, so he could only try to get the person in front of him to let him go.

"Oh? I didn't expect you to have such a distinguished background."

Lu Yao chuckled and looked at Tian Buque with great interest.

"This is my storage ring. Please accept it, fellow Daoist."

Tian Buque's face lit up with joy. He thought Lu Yao was afraid of his background and wanted to spare his life, so he quickly handed over the storage ring on his hand.

With a wave of his hand, Lu Yao took Tian Buque's storage ring.

“You are very clever, but killing you would make it difficult to move around in Tiannan. From now on, I would have to live in hiding.”

Lu Yao smiled faintly. Tian Buque was right. If they really offended a Nascent Soul cultivator and were targeted by him, it would be bad news.

"Brother Dao's insight is profound!"

Tian Buque smiled, her alluring face beaming, and cupped her hands in a respectful gesture towards Lu Yao.

However, he harbored intense hatred for Lu Yao. As soon as he returned, he would ask the elders of the Hehuan Sect to take action and vowed to avenge this humiliation.

"Unfortunately, I have to go now."

Lu Yao shook his head, a cold glint in his eyes.

A bolt of lightning flashed, about to slice across Tian Buque's neck in an instant.

Just then, a burst of yin energy suddenly erupted, and a figure appeared amidst Tian Buque's still-shaken expression.

"Father!!"

Upon seeing this figure, Tian Buque immediately showed a look of surprise and delight, clearly unaware that his father had left such a contingency plan on him.

"Could you possibly grant me this favor and spare my son's life?"

Although the body of the Hehuan Sect Master was formed from Yin energy, his imposing presence was immense, clearly a result of his long-standing high position.

"So what if I don't let go? You think a mere wisp of Yin energy can make me back down?"

Lu Yao remained calm, showing no fear whatsoever in the face of a Nascent Soul cultivator like the Sect Master of the Hehuan Sect.

"You should think this through. I have memorized your scent. Once my son dies, there will be no place for you in this world!"

The sect leader of the Hehuan Sect stared coldly at Lu Yao.

"Dry tongue!"

Lu Yao's expression turned cold, and a bolt of azure lightning struck down, directly hitting the Yin Qi body of the Hehuan Sect Master.

"What exquisite lightning techniques! I didn't expect this person to be a Core Formation cultivator. Not lacking, it seems you can't escape this calamity today. Don't worry, I will definitely send this person to the Yellow Springs to relieve your sorrow and hatred."

The Yin Qi body of the Hehuan Sect Master is actually quite powerful; he can hold his own against most Core Formation cultivators for a while.

Unfortunately, the sect leader of the Hehuan Sect was so insightful that the moment he saw the Azure Sky Divine Lightning, he knew he couldn't stop Lu Yao, and at the same time, he also discovered Lu Yao's hidden cultivation level.

"Father! Save me! I don't want to die!!"

Tian Buque looked desperate, never expecting that even his own father couldn't save him.

"Ah~"

The sect leader of the Hehuan Sect sighed helplessly, then looked up at Lu Yao as if he wanted to remember Lu Yao forever.

"Boom!"

Under the bombardment of the Azure Sky Divine Thunder, the body of the Hehuan Sect Master rapidly dissolved, and in just two breaths, the Yin energy he transformed into dissipated between heaven and earth.
