416: Chapter 416 What is that?!

The surface of the giant hand was wreathed in purple-black wild lightning as thick as water vats.

Before the five fingers had even closed, the terrifying lightning-element Law had already manifested into a tangible storm.

The remaining mountains of the Tianji Mountains crumbled inch by inch under this storm.

"Golden Core True Lord!"

The Chili Sect Grand Elder dug his only remaining left hand deep into the rock.

His Purple Mansion Perfection true essence was forcibly suppressed back into his Dantian by this pressure; he couldn't mobilize even a sliver of it.

His knees buckled, and he slammed heavily into the rubble, shattering his kneecaps on the spot.

The dozens of Purple Mansion Cultivators nearby, who had been blinded by bloodlust, now looked like spineless mollusks.

They collapsed to the ground one after another.

The Magical Artifacts still fighting in mid-air lost their true essence support and clattered to the ground in a heap.

Blood gushed wildly from their mouths and noses.

The sky was completely torn asunder.

Ten thousand feet of thunder poured down like an inverted waterfall.

A burly figure, bathed in purple-black lightning, descended slowly, stepping through the Void Realm.

True Lord Leiji.

A veteran Golden Core expert from the Central Plains, he cultivated the ultimate rigid and ultimate yang lightning Law.

"A group of ants, daring to covet a divine object of heaven and earth!"

True Lord Leiji's voice boomed like a giant bell.

The sound waves turned into rolling thunder, exploding directly within the spiritual terrace of the Cultivators below.

A dozen or so Loose Cultivators with slightly weaker Purple Mansion Initial Stage cultivation didn't even have time to scream.

Their heads exploded on the spot like overripe watermelons.

Red and white matter splattered all over those around them.

The remaining people pressed themselves flat against the ground, trembling like chaff, their Dao Heart completely crushed by extreme terror.

True Lord Leiji didn't even glance at the corpses beneath his feet.

His entire attention was locked onto that floating dark gold square seal.

Radiating ten-colored treasure light, earth and metal Laws intertwined.

Such a pure True Treasure embryo was enough to elevate his lightning Law to the next level.

"Such great fortune is only fit for me to enjoy!"

He shouted, his right hand thrusting forward violently.

The giant thunder hand, spanning a hundred feet, closed with a roar, gripping the dark gold square seal tightly in its palm.

Violent lightning power surged through the giant hand into the square seal, attempting to forcibly erase the heaven and earth imprint upon it.

The square seal vibrated violently, treasure light and lightning intertwining frantically.

True Lord Leiji's face flushed red, his potent Golden Core Late Stage magical power pouring out without reservation.

He prepared to take it into his Dantian in one go.

Ten million li away.

Yuanmu Grotto-Heaven, Main Peak grand hall.

Gu Changsheng sat upright on the throne, one hand propping up his chin.

A floating water mirror projected the scene of the Tianji Mountains in vivid detail.

Watching True Lord Leiji's arrogant and overbearing manner, there was not a single ripple in Gu Changsheng's eyes.

The fish has taken the bait.

And it's a big fish.

He raised his right hand, cyan and gold light dancing rapidly at his fingertips.

The Zhen-Xun primal wood Law traveled along the invisible chain of Karma, instantly spanning ten million li.

It pierced with extreme precision into the core of that dark gold square seal.

Gu Changsheng rubbed his thumb and middle finger gently together.

Snap.

A crisp snapping sound echoed through the grand hall.

"Explode."

A word of extreme indifference rolled from between his teeth.

Above the Tianji Mountains.

True Lord Leiji was just preparing to pull the square seal back to his side.

A sudden change occurred.

The thick halo of earth and metal Laws on the surface of the dark gold square seal, which was being gripped tightly by the giant thunder hand, stagnated for an instant without warning.

Immediately after, crack.

An ear-piercing cracking sound exploded within the thunderstorm.

That incredibly alluring True Treasure shell crumbled inch by inch like fragile glass.

Turning into gold dust that filled the sky.

The disguise faded, and the thing at the very depths of the square seal was completely exposed.

A wisp of extremely pure, dark yellow black flame, imbued with a destructive will, erupted with a roar!

The moment the black flame touched the surrounding purple-black lightning, it was like a starving Vicious Beast catching the scent of blood.

It pounced forward with extreme barbarity.

True Lord Leiji's pride and joy, the lightning Law, didn't even hold up for half a breath in front of this wisp of black flame.

The purple-black wild lightning was instantly assimilated and devoured by the black flame.

The originally violent giant thunder hand began to be dyed with a layer of deathly pitch-black from the palm outward.

"What is this!"

True Lord Leiji was both shocked and furious, his Golden Core Divine Sense frantically scanning that wisp of black flame.

The moment his Divine Sense touched it, it was shredded alive by an extremely cold and destructive will.

He let out a muffled groan as a tearing pain shot through his spiritual terrace.

Retreat!

True Lord Leiji had extremely rich combat experience and instantly sensed a life-or-death crisis.

He unhesitatingly severed his connection with the giant thunder hand and retreated violently.

But this square seal had previously absorbed the essence blood of dozens of Purple Mansion Cultivators.

The Deep Qi Origin was already completely satiated and was at its most manic critical point.

The black flame followed the thread of magical power that hadn't been severed yet.

Like a maggot on a bone, it crossed the Void Realm directly and burned onto True Lord Leiji's right arm.

Sizzle.

The teeth-aching sound of burning flesh echoed through the sky.

True Lord Leiji's Protective Aura was treated as nothing by the black flame and was instantly pierced through.

The black flame burrowed into his Meridians with extreme violence.

Following the bones of his right arm, it spread wildly upward.

Wherever it passed, Meridians snapped inch by inch, and blood was instantly vaporized.

"Ah!"

A shrill, miserable scream tore through the firmament of the Tianji Mountains.

True Lord Leiji's entire face was completely distorted by extreme pain, veins bulging on his forehead.

He desperately urged his Golden Core Origin, attempting to use the lightning Law to force this strange black flame out of his body.

But the Deep Qi was extremely overbearing.

The moment his lightning-element magical power surged over, it was directly converted by the black flame into nourishment to strengthen itself.

The more he resisted, the fiercer it burned!

In just three breaths.

The flesh of True Lord Leiji's entire right arm was burned away, and even the bones turned into pitch-black charcoal.

The black flame followed his shoulder blade, heading straight for his heart Meridians and Dantian.

Once this thing burned into his Golden Core, his thousands of years of cultivation would be completely destroyed.

"Sever!"

True Lord Leiji bit down on his steel teeth until they shattered.

His left hand formed a knife-hand, lightning turning into an extremely sharp lightning blade, slashing directly at his own right shoulder.

Pfft.

Black blood sprayed wildly.

The entire carbonized right arm was severed at the root, falling straight toward the dense forest below.

The moment the severed arm left his Physical Body, it was completely burned into a puff of black ash in mid-air by the black flame.

True Lord Leiji gasped for air, mouth wide open.

His chest heaved violently.

He clutched his bleeding right shoulder tightly, using violent magical power to forcibly seal the wound.

That high and mighty Golden Core pressure was now in tatters.

His aura was like a deflated ball, plummeting rapidly.

Origin damaged, Physical Body incomplete.

This Central Plains expert, who had been so arrogant just a moment ago, was now as wretched as a stray dog.

The Purple Mansion Cultivators lying in the pool of blood below lifted their heads with difficulty.

Looking at the Golden Core True Lord in the sky, missing an arm and covered in blood.

Everyone's brains completely shut down.

What just happened?

A True Treasure embryo actually blew up the high and mighty Golden Core True Lord and left him crippled?

This was no Opportunity; this was a peerless death trap aimed at Golden Core experts!

Extreme terror gripped every person's heart.

If even True Lord Leiji ended up in such a state, how could they, these Purple Mansion Cultivators, have dared to covet it just now?

If True Lord Leiji hadn't intercepted it halfway, the ones turned to ash now would be themselves.

True Lord Leiji swallowed the black blood surging up his throat.

He stared fixedly at the wisp of black flame slowly dissipating in mid-air, a thick layer of cold sweat breaking out on his back.

A trap.

Definitely a trap set by some old undying monster.

He didn't dare to stay for even a moment longer.

He formed a seal with one hand, preparing to tear open the Void Realm and escape back to his Grotto-Heaven to go into seclusion and heal.

Just at the moment his magical power began to circulate,

the Void Realm barrier above the Tianji Mountains suddenly fluctuated violently.

True Lord Leiji was heavily injured, his pressure dissipated.

That lightning aura, which was enough to shake the Central Plains, had now become extremely weak.

Other Golden Core old monsters hiding deep in the Void Realm, who had originally been watching from the sidelines,

instantly sensed the weakness of this piece of fat meat.

To these old monsters who had lived for thousands of years,

nothing could make them crazier than plundering the Golden Core Origin of a peer.

A treasure of unknown authenticity, how could it be as substantial as a heavily injured, dying Golden Core True Lord!

Greed completely overcame their wariness of Leiji.
