Chapter 668: The Five Thunder Gods, Summoned at Will!

The monk didn’t expect Nanli to suddenly curse him out. He froze for a moment, visibly enraged.

"You refuse to repent, and thus, you no longer deserve a chance."

With those words, he immediately began chanting Buddhist sutras.

Golden Sanskrit flowed from his mouth, swirling towards the two of them.

Yun Yubai’s face turned pale. "This is the Divine Buddha Sect’s most powerful twelve-sutra imprisonment formation! Shanhai isn’t planning to hold back. Once we’re trapped, no matter how strong my spiritual power is, not only will I be unable to break it, but our bodies and blood will also be shattered completely."

Nanli raised an eyebrow. "This old man practices Buddhism? Such a vicious technique."

"The Divine Buddha Sect has always been like this," Yun Yubai said, already accustomed to it.

As he spoke, he quickly summoned a talisman.

However, the Golden Sanskrit was incredibly powerful—it pierced through the talisman’s barrier, quickly advancing toward them.

Nanli gazed at the Golden Sanskrit. Instead of feeling calm, she felt a sense of fear creeping up her spine.

Yun Yubai could only continue guiding their flight on the sword.

But Shanhai was relentlessly pursuing them, his gaze filled with determination and malice, his chanting never stopping. The Golden Sanskrit followed closely, now coming at them from all directions.

There was no escape!

However, Nanli narrowed her eyes and patted her cloth bag. She spoke with confidence, "Can we rush ahead of him?"

"That will just make the Golden Sanskrit reach us faster. And with his spiritual protection, we won’t be able to hurt him," Yun Yubai replied.

"If we want to escape, trust me," Nanli said firmly.

"Alright!" Yun Yubai didn’t hesitate, changing the direction of their flight and charging straight towards Shanhai.

Shanhai raised an eyebrow. "Still daring to counterattack? Is this seeking death?"

He chanted even more fervently.

The Golden Sanskrit surrounded them completely.

Just as it was about to descend upon them and bind them with its mark, Nanli suddenly pulled out a gong and drum.

She whispered, "Cover your ears with spiritual power."

Yun Yubai didn’t know what she was planning, but even with his diminished strength from his reincarnation, he trusted her unconditionally.

Nanli poured her spiritual energy into the drum and struck it fiercely.

"Bang—"

The sharp, piercing sound immediately reverberated through the skies.

Shanhai, protected by his spiritual energy but not his ears, was struck by the sound at close range. His ears rang painfully, causing him to stop chanting.

With the chanting halted, the Golden Sanskrit stagnated, losing its magical reinforcement. It slowly dissipated.

"Hahaha!" Yun Yubai laughed manically at the sight.

Without further hesitation, he hurled a talisman toward Shanhai, temporarily breaking his spiritual protection.

Then, he raised his sword and swung it down.

Shanhai, greatly alarmed and still suffering from the ear pain, hastily blocked with his golden staff.

Before he could resume chanting, Nanli leapt out from the side. She crushed a Fire Talisman into a ball and accurately tossed it into his mouth. "Fire God, act on Heaven’s will, burn with urgency!"

A massive fireball erupted from Shanhai’s mouth.

His Vajra Body could resist much of the fire, but this was Dragon Flame!

True fire seared his tongue and mouth, causing the smell of roasted flesh to fill the air.

He howled in agony, quickly channeling spiritual energy to protect his tongue, barely preventing further damage.

However, the brief distraction allowed Yun Yubai an opening.

At this moment, Shanhai’s heart was exposed as the most vulnerable point.

Yun Yubai was about to stab down with his sword when, suddenly, a phantom sword image appeared to block his strike.

It was Qingwu and Yan Buxiu, who had finally arrived.

Seeing Shanhai’s sorry state, they both paled in shock.

Shanhai quickly began healing his wounds.

"You treat a monk this way? How ruthless!" Yan Buxiu scolded angrily.

Nanli retorted coldly, "I want to ask you, what grudges do we have? When I was in the Human World, you all schemed to kill me again and again. Now that I’ve broken through to Golden Core, you don’t even try to disguise your intent—you go straight for the kill! Do you think you’re worthy of leading a sect?"

She had initially thought that only two or three sects were targeting her, but now it was clear there were five!

Now that she was in the Immortal World and had reached Golden Core, conflict with them seemed inevitable.

Yan Buxiu sneered. "You destroyed my daughter’s soul. You’re so ruthless, I can’t let you live. The whole Immortal World won’t allow you to."

Qingwu added, "Indeed! Chu Nanli, if you want this person to be safe, stop now and self-destruct your Dantian, swearing to never cultivate again for all eternity."

Yun Yubai understood their motivation and quickly interjected, "Don’t listen to their nonsense, the truth is..."

However, as Qingwu and Yan Buxiu moved together, they immediately silenced Yun Yubai. He was unable to finish his sentence, as their simultaneous attack was too powerful. Any distraction would lead to his death.

Surrounded by attacks, Nanli gripped the Dark Moon Sword and prepared to help.

But at that moment, she finally realized her weakness and insignificance.

Even if she had been powerful in the Human World, against these two experts at the Deity Forming and Nascent Soul stages, she was like an ant. One strike of spiritual energy could crush her.

Yun Yubai wanted to fight back with his sword, but Yan Buxiu, using the Nine Heavens Fan, conjured a vortex of hurricane-force winds around them, trapping them with no way out.

In the blink of an eye, Yun Yubai was already covered in blood, his body leaking it profusely.

Seeing Yun Yubai at a disadvantage, Yan Buxiu laughed wickedly. "Today, I’ll break your disguise and reveal who you really are. How dare you come to Penglai Island and steal my things!"

With a wave of his fan, a thousand wind blades mixed with spiritual energy rushed toward Yun Yubai’s face.

Yun Yubai was taken aback, but as he was already engaged with Qingwu, he couldn’t defend himself.

Nanli, however, had already grasped the technique of sword control in the midst of the battle.

She flew forward, seemingly ready to block the wind blades for Yun Yubai.

"No!" Yun Yubai shouted in alarm. "You’re only at Golden Core. You can’t withstand this!"

"Get back!"

But Nanli didn’t retreat. Instead, she threw several Heaven Thunder Talismans.

These were talismans she had drawn while fighting, infused with spiritual energy.

"What if it’s a Thunder Formation?" Nanli’s eyes turned cold.

The Heaven Thunder Talismans flew out, positioning themselves in the Eight Trigrams.

She formed the necessary hand seals and called out, "Five Thunder Gods, I know their names. Summon them at will, strike with swift thunder!"

Immediately, a fierce bolt of thunder struck down, breaking through the wind blades.

Nanli’s face grew pale as the Thunder Formation required immense spiritual energy, and she was struggling to maintain it.

Yan Buxiu’s eyes widened in shock.

This Five Thunder Formation was a technique only Nascent Soul cultivators had enough spiritual power to control. How could she possibly manage it?

But as he saw her pale face, he sneered, "You’ve just broken through to Golden Core. Do you really think you can control such a powerful formation?"

Nanli’s hands trembled, her body stiff and cold.

Her spiritual energy was nearly depleted.

But at this moment—

The three little souls in her abdomen seemed to sense that their mother was in danger. The spiritual energy they had absorbed during her thunder tribulation began to slowly flow out, replenishing her!
