His vision gradually blurred, and Liu Zhengfeng looked at the night sky, muttering to himself.
Jing'er... Yin'er...
Your father has come down to be with you...
Upon seeing Liu Zhengfeng die, Jiang Ning stood frozen in place, his pupils instantly contracting.
At that moment, all was quiet around him, and he could no longer hear the shouts of battle all around him.
But Jiang Ning heard a sound as clear as if a mirror were shattering.
Fifth level of the Innate Skill.
Breaking through at this moment.
Chapter 738: A Land Immortal
"Brother Liu!!!"
Qu Yang screamed as if his heart was being torn apart.
But Liu Zhengfeng will never hear it again.
"what!!!!!"
Qu Yang roared to the sky and charged towards the archers on the outer perimeter, unleashing a massacre. Although he was quickly surrounded, he disrupted the Demonic Sect's formation, and the archer troops were tied down and unable to support the other side of the battlefield.
Jiang Ning stared blankly at Liu Zhengfeng's dead body, his mind still replaying the scene of Liu Zhengfeng shielding him from an arrow, and he was momentarily lost in thought.
Just then, a skilled swordsman saw Jiang Ning momentarily distracted and realized this was an opportunity. Without hesitation, he rushed forward and slashed at Jiang Ning's head.
The blade was sharp and fierce; this master swordsman from the demonic sect was determined to cleave Jiang Ning in two, but he was horrified the next second.
boom!
The knife slashed down at Jiang Ning's head, but was stopped at the top of his head and could not advance any further.
An invisible wall of water appeared in front of Jiang Ning.
As the master swordsman brought down his blade, the invisible water wall in front of Jiang Ning seemed to ripple like water around the point of impact, creating a transparent wave.
"What... what's going on?"
The expert swordsman stared wide-eyed, seemingly unable to comprehend such an unbelievable situation.
Ren Woxing, who was originally about to make a move, was stunned and stared at the scene in disbelief.
"External release of internal energy?"
Ren Woxing had a high level of insight; he could see that what Jiang Ning had just witnessed was the autonomous defense of his internal energy, which automatically formed a water curtain in front of Jiang Ning to block the attack of the swordsman.
This is very similar to the performance style of legendary masters who have reached the Innate Realm.
Protective Qi?
Ren Woxing was deeply shaken by what he saw.
But Ren Woxing's expression quickly turned stern.
"You've really reached the Innate Realm? I don't believe it!"
Ren Woxing refused to believe in evil and directly used the Star Absorbing Technique on Jiang Ning.
A powerful suction force suddenly erupted. At this moment, Ren Woxing used all his strength to unleash the Star Absorbing Technique, and even the ground he was on was shaking.
An extremely strong suction force swept towards Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning, who would have previously avoided the suction force, merely glanced at Ren Woxing without moving.
The powerful suction force generated by the Star Absorbing Technique instantly enveloped Jiang Ning, and even some nearby members of the Demonic Cult were sucked in.
"Master, no!!"
"Master, spare me!!!"
The followers who were caught up in the Star Absorbing Technique screamed in agony.
The other members of the church took a few steps back when they saw this scene, not daring to step forward, their eyes filled with fear.
However, Ren Woxing ignored the pleas for mercy from his followers and did not stop, instead unleashing the Star Absorbing Technique with all his might.
But then something horrifying happened.
No matter how much he activated the Star Absorbing Technique, Jiang Ning remained unmoved, protected by the water curtain in front of him.
The water curtain flowed naturally around Jiang Ning, but the suction force generated by the Star Absorbing Technique could not penetrate it any further.
This scene is remarkably similar to the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill that Fang Zheng used when they fought before.
However, the difference between Jiang Ning and Fang Zheng is that Fang Zheng was able to resist by using the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill.
Jiang Ning, relying solely on his own internal energy to create a water curtain, completely ignored his Star Absorbing Technique.
"Protective Qi".
Ren Woxing's face was extremely ugly.
Even if he didn't want to admit it, Jiang Ning had indeed entered a completely new realm.
Innate realm.
Also known as a terrestrial deity.
Only unparalleled masters who have reached the Innate Realm can release their true energy to form a protective aura that isolates all attacks. Unless the attacker is stronger than the attacked, the unparalleled master will have to actively withdraw their protective aura when their true energy is insufficient.
Otherwise, there is no possibility of harming it from the ground up.
"Innate...innate..."
Ren Woxing's face was extremely ugly as he gritted his teeth and uttered those two words.
Countless martial arts practitioners in this world pursue these two words, but no one can truly reach this level.
Even Ren Woxing was struggling to break through this bottleneck and reach the Innate Realm, but there was no hope at all.
Ren Woxing, who had thought that the Innate Realm was just a legend, witnessed Jiang Ning reach this realm right before his eyes, telling him that this realm was not false, but real.
How could this prevent Ren Woxing, who prides himself on having talent no less than others, from breaking down his defenses?
"So what if you're born with innate talent? You're not at your peak, and I'm going to defy that!"
Ren Woxing shouted sternly.
Even if Jiang Ning breaks through to the Innate Realm, his internal energy will not increase out of thin air. This is the best opportunity to kill Jiang Ning. If we cannot kill Jiang Ning today, once Jiang Ning has completely stabilized his realm, there will be no possibility of killing him at all.
Even if there are many people and many experts at that time, they will all be useless in front of the terrestrial immortals.
Before one's true energy is exhausted, trying to kill a terrestrial immortal by piling up human lives is undoubtedly a pipe dream.
Thinking of this, Ren Woxing gritted his teeth and roared, using every last bit of strength in his body.
Perhaps his potential was unleashed, and the suction power of the Star Absorbing Technique suddenly became even more terrifying.
Jiang Ning, though at the eye of the storm, remained calm, his clothes barely moving an inch within his protective aura.
Jiang Ning's expression was extremely calm, and his mind was clearer than ever before. Despite being surrounded by enemies, Jiang Ning closed his eyes at this moment and felt the changes within his body.
At this moment, Jiang Ning seemed to be able to see inside his body, clearly seeing everything within it.
The true energy within his body underwent a complete qualitative change.
Previously, it was an adjective to say that his true energy was as vast as the sea, but now it is a true expression.
Moreover, his true energy was no longer pure white and formless, but instead emitted a glassy light.
His true energy no longer simply circulates between the meridians like that of ordinary masters; at this moment, the true energy in Jiang Ning's body no longer needs to circulate through the meridians.
With just a thought, Jiang Ning could reach any part of his body.
Besides this, Jiang Ning's body underwent other changes. It was as if all the pores on his body had been suffocating for a long time. All 84,000 pores could breathe in the air of heaven and earth. Even if he closed his mouth and nose now, he would not die from suffocation.
Powerful, omnipotent.
This is how Jiang Ning feels right now.
Jiang Ning felt as if he could go to heaven and earth, and was omnipotent. No one in the world could be his opponent. On the other hand, he could kill Ren Woxing with a single thought if he wanted to.
But Jiang Ning knew this was an illusion brought about by the increase in strength, so the thought only flashed through his mind.
In addition, Jiang Ning also noticed that a Tai Chi Yin-Yang diagram seemed to have formed inside his body.
His Baihui acupoint was flashing with white light spots, while his Yongquan acupoint was flashing with black spots like ink dots. The true qi that was as clear as glass surrounded these two acupoints and slowly flowed automatically, finally forming a circle in his body, like a dynamic tai chi diagram.
Chapter 739: Why can't I finish sucking it all?
True Qi flowed from Baihui and Yongquan acupoints into his body, each strand of it being incredibly pure, like glass.
"I see."
At this moment, countless insights surged into Jiang Ning's mind. Some Taoist scriptures that were previously obscure and difficult for him to understand were now no longer a secret to him.
At this moment, he is closest to the Dao.
While Jiang Ning was comprehending the Innate Realm, Ren Woxing outside looked extremely grim.
It can't be sucked up, it can't be sucked up at all.
No matter how hard he tried to activate the Star Absorbing Technique, the powerful suction force couldn't harm Jiang Ning in the slightest.
"Is the Innate Realm really that strong?"
Ren Woxing felt a sense of powerlessness at this moment, just as he had felt when he fought against Dongfang Bubai with Xiang Wentian and other masters on Blackwood Cliff.
Was it really wrong for him to practice the Star Absorbing Technique?
If he had chosen the Sunflower Manual instead of the Star Absorbing Technique back then, would he be in a different situation today?
"No!"
"I do not believe!"
Ren Woxing's expression hardened, and he took the initiative to withdraw the Star Absorbing Technique, giving orders to his subordinates.
"Kill him for me!"
Upon hearing this, the surrounding members of the Demonic Cult hesitated and dared not step forward, but Ren Woxing had already given the order, and after a moment of hesitation, they still charged towards Jiang Ning.
boom!
Countless weapons rushed towards Jiang Ning, but they only stopped less than a meter in front of him, unable to advance any further.
"What is this?"
"A member of the demonic cult exclaimed in horror."
Their martial arts skills were limited, and their vision was also limited. They did not know that this was a protective aura that only innate masters possessed, and they only felt that it was extremely strange.
This is beyond their common sense.
Jiang Ning glanced coldly around, then suddenly moved his feet.
"what!"
Screams came and went.
Jiang Ning charged through the crowd. Even without using any other martial arts, he could block all attacks with his protective aura alone. All the members of the Demonic Cult who were hit by his protective aura were sent flying. There was nothing that could stop him.
Seeing Jiang Ning slaughtering so wantonly in the crowd, Ren Woxing was furious and leaped towards Jiang Ning.
Since the Star Absorbing Technique's ability to absorb people from a distance was ineffective against Jiang Ning, Ren Woxing decided to get close to Jiang Ning. He believed that as long as Jiang Ning made physical contact with him, he could absorb him without hesitation.
But Jiang Ning was too fast at this moment. Protected by his protective aura, he charged through the crowd like a circular water curtain, killing from one end to the other. His purest power crushed the demonic sect members, almost causing them to collapse.
Ren Woxing gritted his teeth upon seeing this, knowing that if he continued to let Jiang Ning kill, the followers would inevitably collapse and flee.
Ren Woxing circulated his internal energy, and his speed suddenly increased.
Jiang Ning, who was crushing the demonic sect members with his protective aura, saw Ren Woxing attacking him and stopped in his tracks.
At this moment, he also withdrew his protective aura.
