Within the Endless Sea Region.
After many years, Ye Qingxuan’s main consciousness once again descended upon his external incarnation.
Now, more than sixty years had passed since Ye Qingxuan’s external incarnation boarded the Tianyuan Trading Company’s tower ship.
Over those sixty-plus years, the Tianyuan Trading Company’s tower ship had undergone a total of seven spatial jumps.
Now, the Tianyuan Trading Company’s tower ship had already approached the near-sea region of the Eastern Pole Domain.
The remaining distance no longer required stopping to recharge and perform spatial jumps. Only a few years of sailing would be needed to arrive.
This time, Ye Qingxuan’s main consciousness descended mainly to see the might of the Void Realm sea demon clashing with the Tianyuan Trading Company in the Endless Sea Region.
After Ye Qingxuan pushed open the swaying door and came onto the deck of the tower ship.
At this moment, quite a few cultivators had already gathered on the deck, each one staring intently outside the tower ship.
Ye Qingxuan looked into the distance and only then discovered that the heavenly phenomena outside had undergone earth-shaking changes.
The originally clear, cloudless sky was now covered in dark clouds, with thunder and lightning crashing together.
Across the sea surface within a radius of a hundred thousand li, lightning power was everywhere, forming an enormous lightning net that firmly trapped the Tianyuan Trading Company’s tower ship.
At this time, the defensive formation on the Tianyuan Trading Company’s tower ship was already operating at full power.
It was forming a golden barrier to resist the lightning chains that attempted to entangle the tower ship.
And far ahead of the tower ship, an enormous figure was faintly visible, with purple electric light flowing around its body, rising and falling ceaselessly on the sea surface.
Its shape closely resembled an enlarged electric eel.
Although there was only one demon beast, none of the cultivators present dared to underestimate it.
Because it was a Void Realm demon beast that had comprehended the rules of profound meaning.
This Void Realm demon beast’s massive head was glaring fiercely at the Tianyuan Trading Company’s tower ship.
Clearly, this Void Realm demon beast had taken the Tianyuan Trading Company’s tower ship as its prey.
Above the Tianyuan Trading Company’s tower ship, two aged figures stood in the air.
One of them looked at the Void Realm demon beast ahead, with lightning flowing all over its body, and the changed heavenly phenomena outside, frowned, and said:
“A demon beast that has comprehended the lightning profound meaning?”
Hearing this, the person beside him sneered, eyes cold as he said:
“Heh, so what if it’s the lightning profound meaning? It’s merely a newly advanced Void Realm demon beast, and the lightning profound meaning rule it has comprehended is only at the first-stage realm.”
The profound meaning rules were divided into ten stages.
Stages one to three were entry level, stages four to six were minor accomplishment, stages seven to nine were great accomplishment, and stage ten was perfection.
The ten stages of profound meaning rules corresponded respectively to the Void Realm, Kongming Realm, Tribulation Crossing Realm, and Mahayana Realm.
To break through to the Void Realm, one had to comprehend a profound meaning rule and raise it to the first-stage realm.
Only by tempering one’s body, meridians, and dantian through the power of profound meaning rules could a cultivator withstand the vast spiritual power required to break through to the Void Realm.
In the eyes of the two Void Realm mighty ones standing in the air above the Tianyuan Trading Company’s tower ship.
The demon beast before them that had set its sights on the Tianyuan Trading Company’s tower ship was a Void Realm demon beast that had comprehended a first-stage lightning profound meaning rule.
The one who spoke last flicked his hand, and a spear wreathed in firelight already appeared in his grasp.
Staring fiercely at the Void Realm demon beast releasing vast lightning power, he said loudly:
“Beast, today this seat shall slay you and use your essence blood to consecrate the banner!”
After saying this, he soared into the air, flying to high altitude.
When he circulated his spiritual power to soar into the air, the heavenly phenomena changed once again.
The originally dark-clouded, lightning-crashing sky began to gradually turn red.
The lightning profound meaning rule was a combination of the thunder profound meaning rule and the electric profound meaning rule!
Although the lightning profound meaning rule had powerful killing force, this Void Realm demon beast had only comprehended a first-stage lightning profound meaning rule.
His fire profound meaning rule, on the other hand, had already been comprehended to the second-stage realm.
Dealing with a first-stage lightning profound meaning rule was more than enough.
After all, one represented height, while the other merely represented width. The gap in realm was not so easy to cross.
Especially the realm gap at high realms.
However, when dealing with a demon beast of the same rank, he would not underestimate the opponent or lower his guard.
Although he was disdainful with his words, the moment he struck, he immediately used his killer move:
“Minor Divine Ability: Heavenly Fire Sets the Plains Ablaze!”
Instantly, the fire profound meaning rule began to spread, and the fire element high in the sky rapidly became fiercely active.
The heavenly phenomena in the sky changed dramatically once again.
The originally lightning-crashing scene was in an instant suppressed and replaced by heavenly fire appearing out of thin air.
The original high sky now seemed as if heavenly fire was burning the heavens, setting even the clouds high above ablaze.
The low-grade spirit treasure level spear in his hand was continuously brandished.
As the spear danced, the fire element profound meaning within a radius of a hundred thousand li around him was instantly mobilized by him.
Finally, it gathered and condensed into balls of heavenly fire.
Finally, he shouted loudly:
“Go!”
Under his control, the balls of heavenly fire gathered high in the sky smashed toward the Void Realm demon beast in the sea at extreme speed.
The power of profound meaning rules was already equivalent to the power of heaven and earth.
Once mobilized and unleashed, it could suppress the surrounding space and bind powerful enemies.
To break this kind of binding suppression, one had to use the power of profound meaning rules.
Moreover, the realm of the profound meaning rule used could not differ too much from the opponent’s, otherwise one still could not break the spatial suppression brought by the opponent’s mobilization of profound meaning rules.
Therefore, the barrier between the Void Realm and below the Void Realm, and the barrier between the Void Realm and above the Void Realm, were almost all existences like natural chasms.
“Roar!”
Sensing the danger from high altitude and the intense suppression of heaven-and-earth power, that Void Realm demon beast roared loudly, its pupils constricting slightly.
The lightning power that already spread across a hundred thousand li instantly became restless.
Under that demon beast’s control, it rapidly gathered, forming bolts of lightning heavenly pillars that shot toward the heavenly fire falling from high altitude.
Rumble! Crackle!
Intense roaring resounded through the sky. The first-stage lightning profound meaning and the second-stage fire profound meaning collided, emitting extremely piercing sounds.
The energy fluctuations, undiminished in might, instantly swept across a radius of several hundred thousand li of sky, causing all kinds of phenomena.
This sea region, affected by the high-altitude energy fluctuations and heaven-and-earth pressure, stirred up wave after wave of enormous waves that swept toward the surrounding sea regions.
When the towering waves were about to submerge the Tianyuan Trading Company’s tower ship, the formation shifted slightly, and the entire tower ship instantly rose into the air, dodging wave after wave of no small power.
At the same time, the golden shield around the tower ship still maintained without break, blocking the sweeping remnants of energy.
The ship’s body trembled and shook, forcing Ye Qingxuan to circulate his spiritual power to steady himself.
That Void Realm demon beast and that Tianyuan Trading Company Void Realm mighty one, directly facing the impact of the profound meaning rule power, began to retreat uncontrollably.
That Tianyuan Trading Company Void Realm mighty one retreated several hundred li before finally stopping.
But that Void Realm demon beast retreated over a thousand li, and also endured several heavenly fire attacks.
However, the Heavenly Fire Sets the Plains Ablaze weakened by the lightning profound meaning, and the heavenly fire that fell on the demon beast, did not cause it too much harm.
This attack instead thoroughly enraged this Void Realm demon beast.
“Roar!”
This Void Realm demon beast roared angrily, and the surrounding lightning profound meaning gathered once again.
However.
This time, what the Void Realm demon beast gathered was not only the lightning profound meaning, but also the first-stage water profound meaning.
