Chapter 4026: Burning the Sky and Boiling the Sea

Countless silver electric arcs surged from Wang Mengbin's body, engulfing nearly half of the yellow true dragon.

The yellow true dragon roared in extreme pain, its body bleeding profusely and some scales falling off. It opened its mouth and shot out a thick beam of yellow light, aimed directly at Wang Mengbin.

Wang Mengbin released his grip, and the lightning around his body intensified, causing him to vanish from his spot.

The Thunder Dharma Body not only enhanced his physical body and strength but also sharpened his reflexes.

Hundreds of thousands of green flying swords flew in, merging mid-flight into a colossal, sky-piercing sword that struck the yellow true dragon, leaving only a long sword mark.

Low-grade immortal artifacts struggled to inflict serious damage on top-tier true spirits. Even with Wang Qingshan's own low-grade natal immortal artifacts and a sword formation, killing a top-tier true spirit proved difficult. A dazzling white light then surged from his right hand, and he unleashed a colossal white sword beam that swept out, striking towards the yellow true dragon.

Ordinarily, the true dragon would have dared to meet the attack head-on, as top-tier true spirits could usually withstand sword qi. However, it would not risk an attack infused with the Law of Life, as demonstrated by the fate of the blue giant ape.

The yellow true dragon opened its mouth and unleashed a thick beam of yellow light, which collided with the sky-piercing sword beam. Upon impact, the sword beam instantly petrified and shattered into pieces. A rumbling of thunder then filled the air as thick silver lightning pillars descended from the sky, striking the yellow true dragon repeatedly. The dragon roared in agony, its massive body writhing incessantly.

The yellow true dragon let out an enraged roar, shot skyward, and rapidly flew into the distance. With a flash of white light, a colossal white seal materialized and hurtled towards the yellow true dragon.

Before the white seal could even land, an intensely chilling force and immense gravitational pull enveloped the area. This was a mid-grade immortal artifact, and even top-tier true spirits could not withstand its power.

The yellow true dragon felt its body become incredibly heavy and its speed decreased. It looked up and unleashed a stream of yellow mist that struck the white seal, causing its spiritual light to flicker and show signs of petrification.

While a top-tier true spirit couldn't easily destroy a mid-grade immortal artifact, this was sufficient.

The yellow true dragon's tail suddenly swept out, striking the white seal and sending it flying backward.

Wang Qingshan's right hand flipped, and a constantly flickering red flying sword appeared in his grasp. This was a mid-grade immortal artifact, which Wang Ruyan had brought back for him during her last return.

Wang Qingshan's immense immortal power surged into the red flying sword, causing a crimson flame to erupt from its blade. He then slashed into the void towards the yellow true dragon. A fierce crimson sword beam swept forth, setting the ocean ablaze and causing it to boil wherever it passed. Even the high-altitude clouds turned crimson, making the sky appear as if it were burning, a fiery red.

The first sword of the Nine Immortal-Slaying Swords: Burning Heaven and Boiling Sea!

The crimson sword beam sliced through the void, tearing it open and parting the sea. The ocean surface for hundreds of thousands of miles around caught fire, and the seawater began to boil.

The crimson sword beam struck the yellow true dragon with a dull thud, leaving a long sword mark on its body. The sword beam then dispersed, transforming into a wave of crimson flames, an embodiment of the Law of Fire, that swept over the dragon.

Raging flames engulfed the yellow true dragon's body. A bright yellow light emanated from its form as it attempted to extinguish the flames, but these were no ordinary flames; they were manifestations of the Law of Fire.

High above, lightning flashed and thunder roared, as thick silver lightning pillars and sharp silver lightning blades rained down. With a flash of yellow light, the yellow true dragon transformed into Long Lei. His face was pale, and nearly half of his body was ablaze.

He was currently using the Law of Earth to suppress the Law of Fire. Although he wished to employ the Laws of Ice and Water, he had not yet comprehended them. He roared skyward, releasing a yellow sonic wave that shattered the incoming attacks and dispersed much of the surrounding flames.

Wang Qingshan chanted a sword incantation, causing a bright red light to emanate from his body. The flames on the ocean surface surged, trapping Long Lei within a crimson sea of fire. This fiery expanse churned and surged, releasing countless crimson flying swords, a sight that would make one's scalp tingle. Simultaneously, an incredibly thick silver lightning pillar descended from the sky, instantly appearing before Long Lei.

Long Lei could only unleash a stream of yellow mist to block the silver lightning pillar. His fists transformed into dragon claws, striking at the incoming crimson flying swords. With a thunderous crash, the crimson flying swords shattered under his claws, transforming into raging flames that engulfed his body.

The crimson sea of flames suddenly solidified, and an immense crimson fire sword flew forth, instantly appearing before Long Lei. He moved his fists, smashing the crimson fire sword to pieces. Raging flames engulfed his body, emitting a scorched scent, while yellow light flickered incessantly across his form.

A golden, shimmering flying dagger shot forth, instantly reaching him. "A mid-grade immortal artifact!"

Long Lei frowned, then opened his mouth and unleashed a large cloud of yellow mist, which shot directly towards the golden flying dagger.

As the yellow mist touched the golden flying dagger, the dagger slowly began to petrify, its spiritual light flickering precariously.

Long Lei let out an excruciating scream. The crimson sea of flames churned and surged, releasing more crimson flying swords that flew directly towards him. Long Lei's body flared with bright yellow light, enveloping these incoming swords and causing them to halt in mid-air.

Wang Qingshan chanted a sword incantation, and one of the crimson flying swords surged with red light, shattering the yellow barrier. It then pierced through Long Lei's body, slicing him in two, and a miniature yellow dragon flew out of his severed form.

Wang Qingshan conjured a green jade bottle and collected the miniature yellow dragon.

Long Lei had proven incredibly difficult to defeat; only a mid-grade immortal artifact could kill him. Without the Laws of Fire and Thunder severely wounding him, he wouldn't have been vanquished so easily. Wang Qingshan then chanted a spell, and the flames on the sea surface dissipated, the sky returned to normal, and the fire clouds vanished.

Qi Feiyun and the two others swallowed hard, their faces filled with awe.

They could clearly see that Wang Qingshan had cultivated the laws to a minor accomplishment; introductory laws simply didn't possess such immense power. Wang Qingshan's sword strike, "Burning Heaven and Boiling Sea," which altered the very heavens and earth, was particularly impressive. Wang Mengbin was also formidable, tossing the yellow true dragon around. This battle had revealed too much: both the Azure Lotus Sword Sovereign and the Purple Heaven True Man had achieved true spirit status, and their comprehension of laws had reached minor accomplishment.

"Madam Qi, Fellow Daoist Zhang, I hope you will keep today's events confidential. This will be beneficial for all of us," Wang Qingshan stated.

"Of course, Fellow Daoist Wang, rest assured, we know what to do," Qi Feiyun readily agreed. The Qi and Wang families were in-laws, and the stronger the Wang family became, the more the Qi family would benefit. The rise of the Murong family, after all, had also elevated their in-laws, the Qian family.

"Indeed, our three families are united and of one mind," Zhang Guanghong affirmed. "Fellow Daoist Wang, what should our next step be?"

Among the five present, Qi Feiyun's cultivation was the highest. However, Wang Qingshan and Wang Mengbin's strength was considerable, and Zhang Guanghong instinctively deferred to the Wang family. "Madam Qi," Wang Qingshan inquired, "what do you believe our next step should be?" He did not usurp Qi Feiyun's leadership role; as they were in-laws, he wanted to show her due respect.

"Naturally, we should invade Haoyue Island and seize its cultivation resources," Qi Feiyun stated, demonstrating her understanding. "Fellow Daoist Wang, your Wang family will take 50%, our Qi family 30%, and Fellow Daoist Zhang 20%."

Just as Wang Qingshan understood proper conduct, so did she.
