Chapter 486: The Dispute Over the Pill
“Hmph! Dissolving your body? You must be dreaming. Aren’t you afraid that I’ll炼化 your nascent soul and leave you no chance of reincarnation?” Barbarian Huzi stared fixedly at Wan Tianming’s nascent soul, speaking coldly.
“If you truly have such divine power, and I die by a fellow cultivator’s hand, what does it matter? But before that, Friend Man, perhaps consider how you’ll handle my sect master’s true thunder!” The infant nascent soul murmured these words unclearly, then without hesitation tossed one of the two Thunder Pills in its hand out of its palm.
The moment the pill left its palm, it immediately exploded, transforming into a purple light orb as large as a cartwheel, fiercely rolling toward Barbarian Huzi.
Barbarian Huzi’s brows furrowed violently, his face radiating killing intent. With a wave of his golden hand, he forcefully punched his own chest twice. Instantly, a celestial sound rang above his head, golden light scattering, and a baby with pale golden skin appeared.
This infant resembled Barbarian Huzi in appearance, standing two and a half inches tall—seemingly taller and more robust than Wan Tianming’s nascent soul. However, its eyes were tightly shut, and it clutched a small cyan misty shield tightly.
The shield was round, exquisitely delicate, with a transparent crystal stone the size of a soybean embedded at its center, emitting brilliant light.
As the purple orb rolled toward it, the nascent soul didn’t open its eyes but seemed fully aware.
It raised the small shield, and a pale cyan light shield shot out from it, enveloping Barbarian Huzi completely.
The purple flames struck the shield ruthlessly!
On the other side, Tian Wuzi, Ji Yin, and others saw the two nascent souls leaving their bodies and were shocked—they knew these two were truly going all out.
A deafening explosion rang in the air. The light shield above was dyed purple-red, and a thundercloud over ten zhangs in diameter suddenly appeared, engulfing Barbarian Huzi, enveloping him in an impermeable storm.
Purple lightning flashed wildly within the cloud. The roar, the howling wind, and the blinding lightning intertwined in an instant, as if divine punishment had descended, with the thunder god manifesting in all his terrifying glory.
The others glanced secretly and were overwhelmingly shocked.
They had heard of the power of the Heavenly Net True Thunder before, but this was their first time witnessing its terrifying display. Indeed, it was worthy of its great reputation.
However, while they were awed by the thunder’s might, their own attacks only became fiercer by two or three degrees.
Wan Tianming’s nascent soul didn’t even glance at Barbarian Huzi trapped in the thundercloud. Instead, it gestured with its empty hand, suddenly producing a small purple sword.
With a flash of purple light, both the nascent soul and the sword vanished.
When they reappeared the next moment, they were only four or five zhangs away from the five-colored light orb below.
“Nascent Soul Sword Manifestation!”
The four struggling cultivators’ expressions changed simultaneously. This was not a trick of speed but a genuine teleportation. It was a special ability that cultivators at the nascent soul stage possessed after their souls left their bodies.
However, this mystical escape technique greatly damages one’s true nascent energy. Although all nascent soul cultivators knew the method, few dared to use it lightly.
Wan Tianming’s unexpected use of it tightened the others’ hearts.
Ji Yin and the old man in Confucian robes immediately abandoned their opponents and hurriedly turned to fly toward the Heaven Mending Pill.
Their opponents, Tian Wuzi and the gaunt old man, glanced at each other but, for some reason, only feigned resistance by casually casting a few minor spells, not seriously blocking the two's departure.
Thus, Ji Yin and the old man in Confucian robes effortlessly broke free and sped straight downward.
