had been driven back earlier had already returned to his original position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the roar of the Void-Realm beast below, a cold sneer appeared on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He continuously waved the long spear in his hand, summoning the power of the Water Principle of the Dao once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The patterns on the long spear in his hand were constantly activated, and the Water Principle of the Dao he summoned was even more powerful than in his previous attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, he intended to directly severely injure the Void-Realm beast below, cutting off its chance to escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, upon sensing the power of the principles summoned by the beast below, his expression immediately changed slightly, and he said gloomily:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A wretched beast, yet it has comprehended a first-realm Water Principle of the Dao?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Water Principle of the Dao can amplify the power of the Thunder Principle of the Dao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Thunder Principle of the Dao is a combination of the Lightning Principle of the Dao and the Electricity Principle of the Dao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this way, he would have to face an attack formed by the fusion of three first-realm Principle of the Dao powers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Relying solely on his second-realm Fire Principle of the Dao, he had no confidence in whether he could suppress this attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he was already poised to strike, leaving him no time for further thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes hardened, and he pushed the low-grade spiritual treasure long spear in his hand to its limit, summoning an even greater amount of Fire Principle of the Dao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the sky-ship of the Yuan Tian Trading House, another Void-Realm elder of the Yuan Tian Trading House who had been watching the battle showed a mocking expression in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, although he intended to watch the show.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he subconsciously took a step forward, his body surrounded by flowing Water Principle of the Dao, ready to strike at any moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>High in the sky, a Dao sound rang out again: \"Minor Divine Art · Sky Fire Scorching the Plains, Gather!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beneath the sea, a low roar sounded simultaneously:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Roar!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As both erupted at the same time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the sky fire reappeared high above, and the burning sky fire was even more profound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They began to converge and fuse one by one, compressing into a ball of purple-gold flame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the sea, countless purple lightning bolts began to continuously converge above the Void-Realm beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deep blue water pillars were extracted from the endless sea, intersecting with the lightning above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two forces spun rapidly, finally forming a purple-blue, high-speed rotating cone that emitted immense pressure, with lightning occasionally flashing outward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the purple-gold flame collided with the purple-blue lightning cone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, the space above this sea began to shatter and reorganize, destroying all matter in the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the spiritual energy was no exception.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The principle energy carrying the power of destruction passed through the shattered space, with most of it venting into the void, where it exploded completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only a portion of the energy remained, still wreaking havoc in that space above the endless sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the Yuan Tian Trading House sky-ship, Ye Qingxuan saw only a dazzling, multicolored light, yet heard not a sound, as if he had gone deaf in that moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Towering waves appeared once more, and the aftermath of the energy surged again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this time, since most of the energy had vented into the void, the affected area was not as vast as the collision in the previous attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The aftermath only spread for tens of thousands of li before gradually dissipating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the affected area had shrunk, the power of this energy had increased by more than a notch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The golden shield that the Yuan Tian Trading House sky-ship had maintained suffered its first slight cracks under the sweep of this energy aftermath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Void-Realm beast and the Void-Realm elder of the Yuan Tian Trading House were also covered in wounds on their bodies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, as they circulated their spiritual power and Principle of the Dao within their bodies, removing the residual Principle of the Dao power from their injuries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>their wounds began to heal at an extremely rapid speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Roar!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the unfavorable situation, this Void-Realm beast was not stupid; it summoned the power of the Water Principle of the Dao once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this time it was for escape, not for attack. Seeing this, the elder fighting the beast immediately glared in anger, looking toward the sky-ship:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Old Man Water, why don't you strike quickly?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the call, the Void-Realm elder who had been hovering above the sky-ship without striking waved his hand: \"I know, I know, Old Man Fire, what are you rushing for?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he responded with these words, the Old Man Water's movements were not slow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At some unknown moment, a water-blue treasure tower had already appeared in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the Void-Realm beast began to move, the treasure tower in his hand started to operate, summoning the vast second-realm Water Principle of the Dao around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mysteries of the Water Principle of the Dao surged in his eyes, turning them an icy blue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tossed the water-blue treasure tower in his hand and whispered softly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Minor Divine Art · Multicolored Sea Realm, Condense!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, a multicolored sea world overlapped with this sea, crushing down heavily upon the Void-Realm beast attempting to flee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Old Man Fire, strike!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without him needing to say more, the Old Man Fire, who had been poised to strike, held his long spear and plunged headlong into the Multicolored Sea Realm condensed by the Old Man Water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the suppression of the Minor Divine Art · Multicolored Sea Realm, the movements of the Void-Realm beast attempting to escape instantly slowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first-realm Water Principle of the Dao it had just summoned was directly scattered by the suppression of the Minor Divine Art · Multicolored Sea Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, a rare flicker of panic appeared in its eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Roar!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was preparing to use the Thunder Principle of the Dao and the Water Principle of the Dao to break the spatial suppression brought by the Multicolored Sea Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet they never expected the Fire Old Man, who had been fighting it all along, to have already reached its front, wielding a long spear and launching continuous attacks against it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Fire Old Man's long spear kept swirling, with streams of the Fire Dao's rules flowing along its shaft, leaving wound after wound on this Void-Realm beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These wounds were filled with the Fire Old Man's two-layered Fire Dao rules.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unless these rules were purged, the wounds would not heal in a short time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the Fire Old Man would not give the beast such a chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The long spear in his hand, swirling with flames, struck like a dragon, beating the beast, which was suppressed by the Colorful Sea Realm, until it had no power to fight back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Roar!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forced into a corner, the beast could only roar continuously, its body flipping as it tried to use its powerful physique to counterattack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now that it was suppressed, how could its movements be as agile as the Fire Old Man's?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a bout of struggling, it could only passively endure the Fire Old Man's attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every time it tried to gather enough power from the Dao rules to escape, the Fire Old Man would interrupt it in time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the suppression of the Colorful Sea Realm, the time it would take to gather the Dao rules to break the suppression would increase significantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But clearly, the Fire Old Man would not give it enough time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason the Fire Old Man had not used his minor divine technique to attack this beast was precisely to deny it the chance to gather enough power from the Dao rules to break the suppression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, using a minor divine technique requires gathering a considerable amount of Dao rules.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The time needed might allow the beast to take the opportunity to break free and flee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, the moment the Water Old Man used his minor divine technique, the Colorful Sea Realm, to suppress the beast, the Fire Old Man directly entered the Colorful Sea Realm and began engaging the beast in close combat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gave this Void-Realm beast not the slightest chance to escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time passed; a full three months went by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suffering the Fire Old Man's continuous attacks with Dao rules, this Void-Realm beast finally could not hold on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It let out one last roar, filled with unwillingness and weakness:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Roar!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Void-Realm beast, which Ye Qingxuan had encountered for the first time, finally reached the end of its life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flame of life in its eyes extinguished, and it fell heavily into the endless sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of this chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1482,"2026-06-12T14:26:54.351Z",1,"Qwen3.5 122B","1ceed2102965a1638fe6f8e6e47f1872618896746bc1ade28c96c6c6429d3c7a","eternal-cultivation-starting-from-the-blessed-cu-chapter-169","eternal-cultivation-starting-from-the-blessed-cu-chapter-167",660,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Feternal-cultivation-starting-from-the-blessed-cu-cover.jpg"]
