125: Chapter 125 Defeat of the Golden Core Cultivation Lineage, Immortal Sect Daoist Makes His Move

"Jie Shi Dao?!" a Cultivator exclaimed.

This Sect, like Xuan Yuan Sect, is an ancient Sect with a heritage spanning tens of thousands of years, and its founding Ancestral Master was a renowned Great Power.

Unlike Xuan Yuan Sect, Jie Shi Dao has several Golden Core True Monarchs guarding it, and there is even an old True Monarch who has half a foot stepped into the Nascent Soul Earth Immortal realm in deep slumber.

Once the Sect encounters an unimaginable crisis, this quasi-Nascent Soul Venerable will awaken and use Jie Shi Dao's Sect-protecting Immortal Artifact to suppress and annihilate the enemy.

Jie Shi Dao is located in the southern borders of Great Qi, occupying two prefectures—Yu Prefecture and Jiao Prefecture—making it much stronger than Xuan Yuan Sect, which only occupies Xuan Prefecture.

"There is a good show to watch," a Purple Mansion True Person said cheerfully.

Jie Shi Dao does not cultivate the Five Elements or Four Symbols; it follows the Thunder Dao, claiming to act as the heavens' punishment, bringing tribulation upon the common people.

The Sect's founding Ancestral Master, known as the Jieyuan Luoshi Thunder Punishment Great Power, was a Great Power of the Pivot Thunder Dao, whose achievements in the Pivot Thunder Dao far surpassed those of the current True Monarch Shuxuan.

One is a Great Power among Nascent Soul Earth Immortals, and the other is a supreme expert among Golden Core True Monarchs; they cannot be mentioned in the same breath.

"There is a familiar aura on you. Is it Divine Thunder?" Chen Zhuyun's expression was calm; he would not mistake the aura of Divine Thunder.

Yuwen Qingtian nodded. Deep purple lightning bloomed around his body, thick bolts of lightning circled him, his eyes transformed into thunder pupils, and blinding lightning flowed through his hair.

"I have heard that your second brother, Chen Zhuxiao, is also a Cultivator of the Divine Thunder Path and has received guidance from True Monarch Shuxuan. After defeating you, I will personally visit the Chen family to battle him."

Chen Zhuyun shook his head slightly, his voice cold: "You will not have that chance."

"Why?" Yuwen Qingtian looked at him.

"Because you will be defeated by my hands." Chen Zhuyun's tone was flat, as if he were speaking of a trivial matter.

"Hehe."

Yuwen Qingtian's eyes turned cold. Thunderous roars that shook the sky erupted around him, and blinding bolts of lightning danced wildly like dragons and snakes, each containing destructive energy capable of shattering great mountains.

"Then give it a try!"

As his voice fell, a deep purple lightning bolt as thick as a water vat descended from the sky, like a powerful thunder dragon breaking through the thick clouds, striking straight at Chen Zhuyun without giving him any time to react.

Sixth-grade Divine Thunder Spell, Sky Extreme Lightning!

This Spell utilizes the extreme speed of Divine Thunder combined with the destruction of the Thunder Dao. It is unleashed in an instant and arrives in a blink. Ordinary Cultivators would be blasted to death by the lightning before they even had time to react, leaving no remains.

Chen Zhuyun exhaled a breath of turbid air. Chaotic Qi surged within his body, the extreme Yin transformed into Yang, and brilliant golden light shone for ten thousand zhang. Golden Qi, as scorching as the Sun's True Fire, covered his body, making him look like a War God descending to the world, clad in solar divine armor, full of Divine Might.

Boom!

The next moment, the Sky Extreme Lightning arrived. The heart-palpitating energy exploded, carving a deep, charred pit into the arena.

Chen Zhuyun's figure appeared at the bottom of the deep pit. His entire body was golden, and cracks had appeared on his right shoulder; he had taken the blow head-on.

"What?!"

Not to mention Yuwen Qingtian, the attacker, even the Purple Mansion True Persons watching from the sidelines were shocked.

"This kid from Jie Shi Dao has a solid Foundation; being a direct descendant of a Golden Core Upper Sect, his level is extremely strong among Foundation Establishment Peak Great Cultivators. The sixth-grade Spell he used is enough to instantly kill an ordinary Foundation Establishment Peak Great Cultivator, yet he withstood it head-on," a Purple Mansion True Person exclaimed.

"He used a martial art similar to a Spell, and the power similar to mana within his body is extremely potent, which is why he was able to withstand the sixth-grade Spell, Sky Extreme Lightning," a sharp-eyed Purple Mansion True Person said, pointing out the key point.

Yuwen Qingtian steadied his mind and opened the fingers of his right hand. Brilliant lightning coiled around them, and the jumping electric arcs crackled, making one's heart palpitate.

Rumble!

A roar came from the void above as five deep purple lightning bolts, several zhang in size, struck down simultaneously, as if a Heavenly God from above was enraged, descending with divine punishment.

The five lightning bolts intertwined, filling the air with five-colored radiance, eventually transforming into a five-colored thunder dragon that tore through the void and charged straight down.

Chen Zhuyun stomped his right foot, and his tall figure shot into the sky like a heavenly pillar rising from the vast earth, dragging a brilliant golden rainbow behind him, creating a beautiful sight.

Instead of retreating, he advanced. He formed a fist with his right hand, a fist as if cast from heavenly gold, indestructible and heavy with momentum, piercing through the void and striking the head of the incoming five-colored thunder dragon.

Rumbling!

Blinding lightning splashed everywhere. The five-colored thunder dragon, as if struck by an ancient sacred mountain, let out a shrill roar. Its scales, composed of thunder, shattered, and thunder-liquid like thunder-slurry flowed everywhere.

Chen Zhuyun's eyes were sharp, his movements wide and powerful. His right arm muscles were taut, his vigorous blood Qi roared, and his sun-like fist smashed down, causing the void to collapse.

Bang!

A massive creature was sent flying, scattering thousands of thunder-slurry along the way. Its huge head was smashed in, golden Qi condensed upon it, and then it exploded with a bang.

The brilliant, firework-like lightning exploded, forming a magnificent firework show in mid-air, gorgeous and beautiful.

Yuwen Qingtian's expression changed. Within his body, where his immortal foundation resided, a thunder seal floating in a Sea of Thunder flared with light, instantly causing the Sea of Thunder to become turbulent, with lightning flashing, thunder roaring, and waves crashing against the sky!

The Divine Thunder immortal foundation he forged was the sixth-grade [Universe Thunder Sea].

Unlike Clearing the Nine Heavens, this immortal foundation does not prioritize quality but quantity. Simply put, his Divine Thunder mana is extremely abundant, but the cost of the sacrifice is that the lethality is slightly insufficient.

In other words, Yuwen Qingtian follows the path of utilizing the extreme speed of Divine Thunder, combined with abundant mana, to wear his enemies to death.

As for Chen Zhuxiao's Clearing the Nine Heavens immortal foundation, it manifests as a thunder tribulation pool, where every drop of thunder tribulation liquid contained within is the essence of Divine Thunder mana. In terms of quality, it is several grades higher than the Universe Thunder Sea, but the quantity is significantly less.

The two are distinctly different Divine Thunder Cultivators; Chen Zhuxiao also cultivates the Sword Dao, and there is no Divine Thunder immortal foundation more suitable for him than Clearing the Nine Heavens.

In this world, there is more than one type of sixth-grade immortal foundation for the same path; there are many, each possessing extremely unique characteristics.

The thunder seal within Yuwen Qingtian, called the Divine Firmament Thunder Refining Seal, is specifically used to purify the mana within his body, allowing his Divine Thunder mana to reach a higher level, thereby compensating for the lack of lethality.

But this insufficiency is only relative to peerless Prodigies like Chen Zhuyun; for ordinary Cultivators, even the trashiest sixth-grade immortal foundation can crush them.

As Yuwen Qingtian activated the Divine Firmament Thunder Refining Seal, the lightning surrounding him transformed from deep purple to dark purple. Destructive fluctuations spread out, causing many Foundation Establishment Peak Great Cultivators in the arena to feel panicked, as if a single bolt of dark purple lightning could take their lives.

Yuwen Qingtian's expression was cold, his black hair dancing wildly. At this moment, he opened the fingers of both hands, and all ten fingers were surrounded by brilliant lightning, as if they were made of thunder.

Then, thunder roared. Ten lightning bolts, as thick as houses, appeared in the sky, connecting with each other like ten thunder dragons descending to the world, intending to punish all living beings.

He has mastered many Thunder Dao Spells, but the most powerful and the one he is most proficient in is still this Sky Extreme Lightning, which he can cast as he pleases.

Rumbling!

The sky shook. The ten lightning bolts changed their form, actually manifesting a Thunder Palace. There were thunder generals clad in armor and holding halberds guarding the palace gates, and majestic thunder beasts patrolling the four corners of the palace.

The void collapsed instantly, as if bearing a weight of more than billions of jun. It was as if a real Thunder Palace had appeared out of thin air. Such a horrifying scene left many Cultivators dumbfounded.

"It is said that Jie Shi Dao obtained part of the Legacy from the Ancient Thunder Palace. Now it seems this is true," one of the five False Core Great Powers sitting above said.

"To dare to use 'Jie Shi' as the Sect name, if one does not have hard-hitting Thunder Dao methods, one cannot bear this name," another False Core Great Power said with deep eyes, his gaze falling more on Chen Zhuyun, seemingly very interested in him.

Just as the two False Core Great Powers were speaking, the Thunder Palace fiercely pressed down. The thunder generals rode the thunder beasts, waving their halberds and long spears, all killing towards Chen Zhuyun.

"Well come!"

Chen Zhuyun stood in mid-air, his thick black hair dancing wildly, his entire body radiating ten thousand zhang of golden light. He was like a golden War God, his scorching, sea-like blood Qi piercing the sky and stirring the wind and clouds in all directions.

He took a step forward, and the void collapsed. Pitch-black cracks spread, and intense golden light bloomed from within, making it impossible for people to open their eyes.

Then, his fists were like dragons, like two indestructible great spears thrusting out, piercing through space and striking the incoming thunder generals and their thunder beasts into countless points of light.

He ascended into the sky like a warrior defying the heavens. His blood Qi surged to the Nine Heavens, his golden light illuminated the long sky, and his fists, heavier than great mountains, struck out continuously, causing each thunder general and thunder beast to dissipate into points of light.

Boom!

The Thunder Palace suppressed down. Chen Zhuyun swung his fists, striking straight up. It was like two massive creatures colliding. The ten-thousand-zhang sky shook continuously, as if it were about to fall.

The two clashed continuously, lightning and golden light surging like a tide, sweeping in all directions.

"Open for me!"

Black hair flying, eyes blazing, Chen Zhuyun spread his arms and struck at the high sky, almost punching two holes in the firmament, forcibly piercing through the Thunder Palace, causing countless lightning bolts to explode.

In the end, he shattered the sky and tore the Thunder Palace apart in mid-air.

Subsequently, a golden hand appeared across the sky, covering half the firmament, making Yuwen Qingtian's face change drastically.

The latter turned into lightning, moving constantly, but no matter where he went, the golden hand followed, and he could not escape at all.

"Stop, stop, stop, I admit defeat!"

Yuwen Qingtian hurriedly shouted, and a force appeared out of thin air, moving him away.

The golden hand retracted. Chen Zhuyun stood in the center of the arena, scanning the surroundings, a belief of invincibility pervading the air.

"Next!"

...

Time passed bit by bit. With Yuwen Qingtian's defeat, for a time, no one dared to go up.

A full quarter of an hour passed before a Cultivator went up to challenge.

It was a Cultivator from the Golden Core Upper Sect, Li Chen Sect, similar to Yuwen Qingtian—both were direct descendants of Golden Core Sects and true disciples of their Sects.

But unfortunately, he was still no match for Chen Zhuyun.

Next, several more direct descendants of Golden Core Upper Sects went up, all of whom were defeated by Chen Zhuyun.

Finally, until the sun set in the west and the red sun was about to sink below the horizon, someone went up on stage.

"Great Qi Red Dust Sect's current Dao Child, Yun Qingci, greets Dao Brother!"
