Chapter 167

Within the Endless Sea.

Ye Qingxuan's main consciousness descended upon his external avatar once again after many years.

Now, more than sixty years have passed since Ye Qingxuan's external avatar boarded the Tianyuan Merchant Guild's treasure ship.

Over the past sixty-plus years, the Tianyuan Merchant Guild's treasure ship has undergone a total of seven spatial jumps.

Now, the Tianyuan Merchant Guild's treasure ship has approached the near-sea area of the Eastern Extreme Domain.

The remaining distance no longer requires stopping for recharging to perform spatial jumps; it will only take a few years of sailing to arrive.

This time, Ye Qingxuan's main consciousness descended mainly to see the might of the clash between the Void Penetration Realm sea demons in the Endless Sea and the Tianyuan Merchant Guild.

After Ye Qingxuan pushed open the swaying door and arrived on the deck of the treasure ship.

At this moment, quite a few cultivators had already gathered on the deck, each of them staring fixedly outside the treasure ship.

Ye Qingxuan looked out and discovered that the celestial phenomena outside had undergone earth-shaking changes.

The sky, which was originally clear and cloudless, was now covered in dark clouds, with thunder and lightning echoing.

Across the sea surface within a radius of one hundred thousand miles, thunder and lightning power was spread everywhere, forming a massive electric net that firmly trapped the Tianyuan Merchant Guild's treasure ship.

At this time, the defensive array on the Tianyuan Merchant Guild's treasure ship was already operating at full capacity.

It was forming a golden barrier, resisting the thunder and lightning chains attempting to entangle the treasure ship.

And in the distance ahead of the treasure ship, a massive figure was looming, purple electric light flowing around its body, rising and falling continuously on the sea surface.

Its shape looked exactly like an enlarged electric eel.

Although there was only one demonic beast, no cultivator on the scene dared to underestimate it.

Because it was a Void Penetration Realm demonic beast that had comprehended profound meaning rules.

This Void Penetration Realm demonic beast was staring hideously at the Tianyuan Merchant Guild's treasure ship with its massive head.

Clearly, this Void Penetration Realm demonic beast regarded the Tianyuan Merchant Guild's treasure ship as its prey.

Above the Tianyuan Merchant Guild's treasure ship, two aged figures stood in the air.

One of them looked at the Void Penetration Realm demonic beast with thunder and lightning flowing all over its body ahead, and the changing celestial phenomena outside, frowning as he said:

"A demonic beast that has comprehended the profound meaning of thunder and lightning?"

Hearing this, the person beside him sneered, his eyes revealing a cold light as he said: "Hehe, so what if it's the profound meaning of thunder and lightning? It's just a newly promoted Void Penetration Realm demonic beast, and the thunder and lightning profound meaning rules it has comprehended are merely at the first-layer realm."

Profound meaning rules are divided into ten layers.

The first to third layers are entry-level, the fourth to sixth layers are small success, the seventh to ninth layers are great success, and the tenth layer is perfection.

The ten layers of profound meaning rules correspond to the Void Penetration Realm, Void Meditation Realm, Tribulation Realm, and Mahayana Realm, respectively.

To break through to the Void Penetration Realm, one must contemplate a profound meaning rule and elevate it to the first-layer realm.

Only by tempering one's own body, meridians, and dantian through the power of profound meaning rules can a cultivator withstand the vast spiritual power required to break through to the Void Penetration Realm.

In the eyes of the two Void Penetration Realm mighty figures standing in the air above the Tianyuan Merchant Guild's treasure ship.

The demonic beast eyeing the treasure ship before them was just a Void Penetration Realm demonic beast that had comprehended the first-layer realm of thunder and lightning profound meaning rules.

The person who spoke last flicked his hand, and a long spear wreathed in firelight appeared in his hand.

Staring fiercely at the Void Penetration Realm demonic beast releasing vast thunder and lightning power, he said loudly: "Evil beast, today this lord will execute you and use your essence blood to sacrifice to the flag!"

After speaking, he soared into the air and flew to the high sky.

As he channeled his spiritual power to soar, the celestial phenomena changed once again.

The sky, originally covered in dark clouds and thunder and lightning, began to gradually turn red.

Thunder and lightning profound meaning rules are a combination of thunder profound meaning rules and lightning profound meaning rules!

Although the lethality of thunder and lightning profound meaning rules is powerful, this Void Penetration Realm demonic beast had ultimately only comprehended the first-layer realm of thunder and lightning profound meaning rules.

And his fire profound meaning rules had already been comprehended to the second-layer realm.

Dealing with the first-layer realm of thunder and lightning profound meaning rules was still more than enough.

After all, one represents height, and the other is just width; the gap in realm is not so easy to overcome. Especially the gap in realm at the high-realm stage.

However, when dealing with a demonic beast of the same rank, he would not underestimate the opponent or lower his guard.

Although he was disdainful in his words, as soon as he made a move, it was his trump card:

"Minor Divine Ability: Heavenly Fire Scorching the Plains!"

Instantly, the fire profound meaning rules began to spread, and the fire elements in the high sky became rapidly and violently active.

The celestial phenomena in the sky changed drastically once again.

The scene of thunder and lightning was instantly suppressed and replaced by streaks of heavenly fire appearing out of thin air.

The high sky now seemed to have heavenly fire burning the heavens, burning even the clouds in the high sky.

The Lower Grade spirit treasure-level long spear in his hand was brandished continuously.

As the long spear danced, the fire element profound meanings within a radius of one hundred thousand miles were instantly mobilized by him.

Finally, they gathered and condensed into clusters of heavenly fire.

Finally, he shouted loudly: "Go!"

Under his manipulation, the clusters of heavenly fire gathered in the high sky smashed toward the Void Penetration Realm demonic beast in the sea at an extremely fast speed.

The power of profound meaning rules is already equivalent to the power of heaven and earth.

Once invoked and unleashed, it can suppress the surrounding space and bind powerful enemies.

To break this kind of binding suppression, one must use the power of profound meaning rules.

Moreover, the realm of the profound meaning rules used cannot be too different from the opponent's, otherwise, one cannot break the spatial suppression brought about by the opponent's invocation of profound meaning rules.

Therefore, the barriers between the Void Penetration Realm and below, and between the Void Penetration Realm and above, are almost like natural chasms.

"Roar!"

Sensing the danger from the high sky and the strong suppression of heaven and earth power, the Void Penetration Realm demonic beast let out a roar, its pupils shrinking slightly.

The thunder and lightning power that had already spread for one hundred thousand miles instantly became restless.

Under the control of that demonic beast, it gathered rapidly, forming streaks of thunder and lightning pillars, heading toward the heavenly fire falling from the high sky.

Boom! Crackle!

The intense roaring sound echoed through the sky; the first-layer realm thunder and lightning profound meaning and the second-layer realm fire profound meaning collided, emitting an extremely ear-piercing sound.

The energy fluctuations, with their might undiminished, instantly swept across the sky for hundreds of thousands of miles, causing all kinds of strange phenomena.

Affected by the energy fluctuations in the high sky and the pressure of heaven and earth, this sea area stirred up waves of massive sea waves, sweeping toward the surrounding sea areas.

As the monstrous waves were about to submerge the Tianyuan Merchant Guild's treasure ship, the array shifted slightly, and the entire treasure ship instantly soared into the air, dodging the sea waves of considerable power.

At the same time, the golden shield around the treasure ship remained maintained, blocking the sweeping energy aftermath.

The ship's body trembled and swayed, forcing Ye Qingxuan to channel his spiritual power to stabilize his figure.

That Void Penetration Realm demonic beast and the Void Penetration Realm mighty figure of the Tianyuan Merchant Guild, facing the impact of the profound meaning rule power directly, began to retreat uncontrollably.

That Void Penetration Realm mighty figure of the Tianyuan Merchant Guild retreated for hundreds of miles before stopping his figure.

But that Void Penetration Realm demonic beast retreated for a distance of over a thousand miles and endured the attacks of several streaks of heavenly fire.

However, the "Heavenly Fire Scorching the Plains," weakened by the thunder and lightning profound meaning, did not cause too much damage to the demonic beast when it fell upon it.

This attack, instead, completely enraged this Void Penetration Realm demonic beast.

"Roar!"

This Void Penetration Realm demonic beast roared angrily, and the surrounding thunder and lightning profound meaning gathered once again.

However.

This time, what the Void Penetration Realm demonic beast gathered was not just thunder and lightning profound meaning, but also the first-layer realm of water profound meaning.
