Becoming an Immortal and Ancestor, Starting from the Clan-protecting Divine Beast

33: Chapter 33 Melee, Clash of the Purple MansionsInside Fengyun Hall, a cyan-blue thunder dragon let out a roar, its eyes glowing red, and lunged straight at Chen Zhuxiao, looking as if it wouldn’t rest until it destroyed him.

Chen Zhuxiao’s sword-like eyebrows stood upright; he was not a weak-willed person. The Divine Thunder Path was about brave advancement and decisive killing, so why fear a fight!

Boom!

Purple lightning swirled around his body, and the Heaven-Striking Thunder Domain Scripture was operating at full power. His hands transformed into thunder claws and closed in front of him. As if a heavenly thunder had exploded, a thunder marsh about a foot in size manifested.

A Fifth-grade Divine Thunder Spell, Heavenly Thunder Sound Marsh.

Then, Chen Zhuxiao inhaled and exhaled, secretly aligning with Yin and Yang, as if the heaven and earth were intermingling. Thunder rumbled, and the purple thunder marsh exploded, leaving the incoming cyan-blue thunder dragon battered and covered in blood.

This Heavenly Thunder Sound Marsh possessed some of the profoundness of Shocking Thunder, being thunder born from the intermingling of heaven and earth’s Yin and Yang, rising and falling, shaking the four poles.

Used by Chen Zhuxiao at this moment, it was truly a clap of Shocking Thunder that shook Fengyun Hall.

The cyan-blue thunder dragon transformed back to its original form, revealing a youth wearing a robe embroidered with thunder patterns. He was in a sorry state, with over a dozen bloodstains on his body, and purple electric arcs dancing on his wounds, making it difficult for them to heal.

Qian Lin’s expression was gloomy, and the look he cast at Chen Zhuxiao was filled with astonishing killing intent. His cyan-blue longsword left its sheath, pointing straight upward, and he shouted: ”Upper Heaven Thunder Cloud, assist me in killing the enemy!”

In an instant, a thunder cloud ten zhang in radius appeared above the hall. Upper Heaven Thunder rolled, electric snakes danced wildly, and a heart-palpitating aura was emitted.

”The Heaven-Striking Thunder Domain Scripture should have been mine, and that Divine Thunder Spiritual Qi and Divine Thunder spiritual object should also have been mine, yet they were intercepted by a bumpkin from a rural village like you. It’s truly ridiculous!”

Qian Lin commanded the four directions, invoking the authority of the Upper Heaven Thunder, and condensed a thunder cloud. As his words fell, several bolts of cyan-blue lightning, as thick as an arm, struck straight down.

He should have cultivated the Heaven-Striking Thunder Domain Scripture and become a Divine Thunder Cultivator, but he had been intercepted by Chen Zhuxiao, losing his Opportunity.

Therefore, he had to settle for the next best thing and Cultivate the Fourth-grade Upper Heaven Thunder technique from the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, the Xuan Yi Upper Heaven Thunder Scripture.

Fortunately, a big shot descended upon the Qian Family and brought him a Fifth-grade Thunder Dao technique, ”Heavenly Blessing Upper Heaven Cloud-Walking Strategy.” Although it wasn’t a Divine Thunder technique, it was still stronger than the Xuan Yi Upper Heaven Thunder Scripture.

This technique was of the Upper Heaven Thunder attribute. Cultivating it to Foundation Establishment would allow one to form the Fifth-grade Upper Heaven Thunder immortal foundation, ”Upper Heaven Cloud-Walking,” which could summon clouds and rain, affecting a large area.

Upper Heaven Thunder already had the ability to issue the decrees of heaven and earth. At this moment, with Qian Lin’s attack combined with the thunder cloud, the power increased by several notches, enough to make even a Sixth Layer of Qi Refining Cultivator dodge its edge.

Chen Zhuxiao stepped lightly, his body turning into a purple lightning bolt. He shifted and dodged, and the lightning bolts from the thunder cloud couldn’t even touch the corner of his clothes.

A Fifth-grade Divine Thunder Spell, Thunder Domain Evasion.

Using the extreme speed of Divine Thunder to execute this technique was far faster than the light of the Upper Heaven Thunder.

”Is that all you can do, just hide?! A dignified Divine Thunder Cultivator, afraid to fight me head-on?!”

Qian Lin’s eyes turned red, and he roared. His longsword pointed and tapped over a dozen times, and bolts of lightning struck down, forming a thunder cage that sealed the four directions, intending to trap Chen Zhuxiao.

”As you wish!”

Chen Zhuxiao dispersed the lightning, and the First-grade High Grade Geng Metal magic sword given to him by Chen Fufeng appeared in his hand. Divine Thunder spiritual power covered it, as if he were holding a thunder sword, and he actively met the attack.

Boom!

A bolt of thunder sword energy slashed out in an instant, arriving before it was even launched, extinguishing the several bolts of Upper Heaven Thunder light that were striking down.

Subsequently, one after another, thunder Sword Qi streaks pierced through the air, their speed so fast that it was difficult to react.

In just an instant, the lightning struck down by the Upper Heaven Thunder Cloud was destroyed, and its emitted aura weakened by several notches.

Chen Zhuxiao did not stop; instead, he transformed into lightning, holding the thunder sword. Most of his spiritual power gathered on it, carrying an aura of striking down heaven and eliminating sin, and he slashed out a dozen swords in an instant.

The sword lights condensed from thunder stacked together, and a destructive aura permeated the air, slashing towards Qian Lin at an extremely fast speed, almost giving him no time to react.

The strongest offensive Spell recorded in the Heaven-Striking Thunder Domain Scripture, Heaven-Striking Swaying Domain!

Divine Thunder was inherently the fastest thing in the world, rumored to be faster than Karma and superior to time. Once struck, the opponent hadn’t even reacted before the outcome was decided.

Qian Lin’s eyes trembled. At the critical moment, he swung his longsword, doing his utmost to invoke the Upper Heaven Thunder spiritual power, condensing it into a suit of armor to block in front of him.

Boom!

Then, the thunder exploded, brilliant lightning splashed everywhere, and a figure was sent flying dozens of zhang backwards.

”Cough, cough!”

Qian Lin coughed up several mouthfuls of blood, and a hideous wound appeared on his chest, deep enough to see the bone. The bone-deep pain made it almost impossible for him to think.

”You really deserve to die!”

He roared at Chen Zhuxiao, clutching his cyan-blue longsword, pointing straight at the Divine Thunder youth opposite him. A set of armor flowing with immortal radiance and glow appeared on his body, and the aura of a Purple Mansion Spiritual Artifact was emitted.

This was an Opportunity he had obtained after arriving at this Tianyu Cave Mansion, a Third-grade Spiritual Artifact level Upper Heaven Thunder armor, enough to protect his path until the gate of the Purple Mansion.

Swish!

With ”vast thunder” in hand, the lightning around Chen Zhuxiao’s body boiled, and even his pupils turned into thunder. His voice was cold and ruthless, like a Thunder Dao Divine Being punishing the sins of the world, asking: ”Do you really want to fight to the death?!”

Qian Lin, wearing the thunder armor and holding his longsword, stared fixedly at Chen Zhuxiao, responding with a roaring voice: ”To the death!”

Just as the two were fighting, the other four people present had no intention of watching; instead, they all took action and engaged in battle.

That Lihuo youth held a heavenly halberd and killed towards the Jia Wood maiden holding a small green wood tripod, a Vermilion Bird burning with raging Lihuo dancing and diving down.

He did not look for the other two; he was not yet one to bully the weak, and a Qi Refining Fifth Layer should face a Qi Refining Fifth Layer.

Of course, there was another reason: fire overcomes wood. Lihuo against Jia Wood naturally held a portion of the advantage.

Lihuo was the most powerful among all fires, close to the Solar Path, explosive and burning to the extreme. In terms of fighting ability, it could rival a Geng Metal Path Cultivator.

And the one who could best represent Lihuo was the Vermilion Bird, an Innate sacred being, situated in the south, belonging to the Old Yang in the Four Symbols, which was the sun.

Therefore, a Cultivator of the Li Fire Dao had quite the demeanor of a Cultivator of the Solar Path.

The Jia Wood maiden’s expression was indifferent. With one hand holding the small green wood tripod and the other forming a seal, Jia Wood brilliance surged, and a giant tree rose from the ground, crashing directly into the Lihuo Vermilion Bird.

Boom!

There were constant loud noises, the Lihuo fell, and the giant tree snapped; the two were evenly matched.

Jia Wood belonged to Yang Wood, the wood of pillars, the wood that supports the sky. The most representative was the Jianmu, which was the ultimate of Jia Wood, and could be called the pillar of heaven and earth!

”Good!”

The Lihuo youth shouted loudly, with a sense of finding a worthy opponent.

His tall body pressed forward, the heavenly halberd in his hand swung, and Lihuo surged, as if connecting to the Southern Seven Mansions, drawing in the power of the stars to bolster it, its power as intense as the sun.

A Fifth-grade Li Fire Spell, Li Star Burning Heaven!

The Jia Wood maiden’s eyes flashed, the small green wood tripod shone brilliantly, and rich Jia Wood Qi escaped. One by one, thick, greyish-green giant trees manifested, like pillars supporting the great hall, all pressing down towards the slashing Lihuo heavenly halberd.

A Fifth-grade Jia Wood Spell, Pillar Wood!

Rumble!

It was like dozens or hundreds of cannonballs exploding at once. The entire Fengyun Hall was shaking, and the collision between the two was no less than that of a Seventh Layer of Qi Refining Cultivator.

The other Geng Metal youth and the Thick Earth youth were also fighting. Geng Metal Sword Qi crisscrossed, and the heavy brilliance was flawless. For a time, neither could do anything to the other.

One was good at killing, and the other was good at defense. It had a sense of the sharpest spear against the strongest shield. It would be difficult to determine a winner.

The two looked at each other, already having a plan in mind. One move after another, they were mostly observing the other two battlefields.

”Damn, these two are crazy!”

When they saw Qian Lin summon the Upper Heaven Thunder armor and Chen Zhuxiao summon ”vast thunder,” they knew that these two were fighting with real fire, and both wanted the other to die.

The Lihuo youth and the Jia Wood maiden fighting on the side also stopped, looking in astonishment at the two who had summoned their Spiritual Artifacts and were about to completely kill the other.

Chen Zhuxiao held ”vast thunder,” feeling his own aura rising rapidly, as if he had become that Armored Divine Being he saw in the Thunder Domain Hall.

Thick electric snakes coiled, dazzling lightning shot in all directions, and a Sea of Thunder a hundred zhang in radius floated behind him, with one star after another condensed from thunder appearing and then shattering.

An unparalleled aura bloomed, causing this Fengyun Hall to tremble, and the surrounding space twisted as if it were about to shatter.

This caused the four watching the battle to hurriedly summon the Spiritual Artifacts they had obtained after entering the Immortal Cave, retreating one after another outside the hall, watching the two’s battle through the door crack.

”Tsk tsk, one Divine Thunder, one Upper Heaven Thunder, who do you think will win?” asked the fat Thick Earth youth.

”Divine Thunder is inherently good at attacking, coupled with a spiritual sword of extraordinary power, I’m afraid he could directly kill that Qian Family disciple here.” The Lihuo youth spoke, his voice booming.

”He is a disciple of a Purple Mansion family, after all. Maybe the Qian Family Old Ancestor left other means on him, so he might not necessarily lose.” A gentle voice like the spring breeze sounded; the Jia Wood maiden spoke.

”I think we should leave this place quickly. I have a feeling something big is going to happen.” The remaining Geng Metal youth said worriedly.

The three ignored him. Those who came to Fengyun Hall today were all people in the game. The two inside hadn’t decided the winner yet, how could they retreat first?

Besides, there were adults protecting them in the dark, what could happen?

Inside the hall, Chen Zhuxiao slashed in an instant, the Sea of Thunder behind him shaking the sky, thunder exploded countless times, and the space in front seemed to crack under this sword.

Qian Lin’s pupils contracted violently. This sword was too fast; even though he wore the Upper Heaven Thunder armor, he still couldn’t react.

Subsequently, the entire Fengyun Hall was shrouded in blinding lightning. Purple Divine Thunder and cyan-blue Upper Heaven Thunder constantly collided and annihilated.

Finally, the lightning dissipated, revealing the riddled hall, which made the four’s hearts jump.

The power of a Spiritual Artifact was evident; if placed in the outside world, it would be enough to destroy a region.

”Hahaha!”

Opposite Chen Zhuxiao, a blood-covered figure stood up, his aura extremely weak. He didn’t care about his own injuries but laughed up to the sky like a madman.

”That adult was right; the current Upper Heaven Thunder is indeed no match for Divine Thunder.”

Qian Lin reached out to wipe the blood from his face, as if talking to himself.

Chen Zhuxiao’s heart stirred, and just as he wanted to deliver a finishing blow, he found that the surrounding space seemed to be locked. An unparalleled pressure squeezed in from all directions, and even though he held ”vast thunder,” he couldn’t move.

The four watching the battle outside Fengyun Hall were the same, as if they had been hit by a binding Divine Ability, with only their eyeballs able to move.

”It’s a Divine Ability!”

Only to see a white candle appear in Qian Lin’s hand at some point, burning with a yellowish lamp flame. Just one look made one’s Divine Soul tremble, with a feeling of being burned.

”It’s the Qian Family Old Ancestor’s Divine Ability, Nether Corrosion Burn!” The thought flashed through the Lihuo youth’s mind.

The Qian Family Old Ancestor was named Qian Deyao, a Cultivator of the Ding Fire Dao. This Dao was extremely insidious, with the ability to burn a person’s Divine Soul and reduce a person’s Lifespan.

Ding Fire belonged to Yin Fire and was one of the Three Calamities. If an ordinary Cultivator accidentally got contaminated, it would be extremely difficult to remove.

And just as Qian Lin took out the white candle, the old man sitting above the clouds felt it. With a cold snort, the sea of clouds for thousands of miles dissipated. All those Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators felt as if a great disaster was imminent, and they all fell from the sky, kneeling on the ground.

”A good scheme. Your Xuan Yuan Sect wants to block my Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion’s path? Aren’t you afraid of the True Monarch blaming you?”

In the void ahead, a figure holding an ancient bell slowly stepped out. He was a middle-aged man wearing a white cloud-patterned robe. His pair of eyes were as deep as the sea, carrying a sense of vicissitudes.

”What a Smiling Angler. The world thought that you, Mo Youming, were just a Foundation Establishment Peak Great Cultivator. Even if you were lucky enough to break through, you would at most Cultivate one or two Divine Abilities. I didn’t expect you to quietly achieve Perfection in the Five Methods and become a Great True Person.”

The person who came spoke slowly, his tone steady, and he even had the mood to tease: ”If that guy Xie Yang knew, he would probably be shocked to find that there is another Great True Person in this Liyuan Commandery.”

Mo Youming’s eyes were full of killing intent, cold as frost. The surrounding Void Realm was constantly cracking and healing, and the entire sky was crumbling, as if the Lord of Heaven was angry.

”Is your Xuan Yuan Sect determined to stop me? As far as I know, that person from the Xuan Yuan Sect doesn’t have much time left.”

The visitor’s expression remained unchanged, the ancient bell in his hand vibrated, and a sound wave was emitted. The nine thousand miles of sky froze; whether it was birds or Cultivators, all were unable to move.

A Divine Ability of the Xun Wind Path, Wind Wave Stasis!

Mo Youming was unaffected. The White Jade Fishing Rod in his hand was suddenly raised, as if he had caught some prehistoric giant beast.

A dark blue ocean appeared, a huge Kun fish leaped out of the sea, transforming into a Peng, its wings like clouds hanging from the sky, its back like the spine of Mount Tai, forcefully shattering the Wind Wave Stasis.

A Divine Ability of the Kan Water Path, Kunpeng Transformation!

The two Great True Persons caused a change in the celestial phenomena of ten thousand miles as soon as they took action. All the Purple Mansion Cultivators in Liyuan Commandery, hundreds of thousands of miles away, felt it and looked over.

Just as the two Great True Persons were fighting, changes also occurred within Fengyun Hall.

A stunningly beautiful maiden with amber glazed eyes held a glazed jade talisman, ignoring the suppression of the Qian Family Old Ancestor’s Divine Ability, and walked to Chen Zhuxiao’s side with light steps.

At this time, his disguise had been broken by the power attached to the Divine Ability, and his handsome and bright true face was revealed.

”He looks pretty good, it’s just that his Realm is too low.”

After the maiden teased, her glazed eyes looked at Qian Lin, her gaze cold: ”The Qian Family has broken the rules. Your Old Ancestor can go and face the Tribulation.”

As the words fell, the glazed jade talisman bloomed with boundless light, and everything could no longer be seen.
