277: Chapter 277 The Dignified Power of Heaven, the Thunder Emperor Descends!

"Kid, the sword in your hand is indeed extraordinary."

"It is a pity that it is too badly damaged."

"With your current cultivation, you cannot unleash its true power at all."

"And you certainly cannot kill this Emperor, who possesses the Undying Origin and has reached the Mahayana Stage Peak!"

To prove his words, God Emperor Lingxiao deliberately raised the demonic arm that had just been slashed by Cao Kun's Sword Qi.

One could see purple-black mist churning at the wounds that were still oozing black blood.

In just the time it took for a single breath, those wounds were as good as new, interwoven by the black mist.

This scene fell clearly into the eyes of the thirty thousand Prodigies of the Central Region below.

The hope for survival that had finally ignited because Cao Kun blocked the attack was instantly chilled to the core by a basin of icy water.

"How are we supposed to fight this... It's impossible to kill!"

"It's over, it's all over. In this Lower Realm, there is absolutely no power that can eradicate such an existence..."

"We are all going to die here today..."

God Emperor Lingxiao was very satisfied with the reaction of these ants below.

He was even more covetous of the vast Power Of Faith on Cao Kun that caused the thirty thousand Prodigies to worship him!

The Luck on this kid was even more tempting than a top-grade blood pill!

If he fought hard, he might destroy this Luck.

God Emperor Lingxiao's thoughts turned rapidly, and his tone surprisingly softened for the first time.

"Cao Kun, you are a smart person, and you are the most stunning Genius I have ever seen in the Lower Realm."

"With your battle prowess and this kind of talent, it would be a great pity if you died here today."

God Emperor Lingxiao's six demonic arms slightly spread open, making a gesture of acceptance.

"Stop, give up interfering with the life and death of those ants below."

"As long as you stand aside and let this Emperor devour the flesh and blood of these thirty thousand Prodigies to thoroughly stabilize this primordial demon heart, this Emperor can directly break the barrier between the two realms!"

"By then, this Emperor will take you to the Spirit Realm together!"

"Not only that, this Emperor can also use the resources of the Spirit Realm to help you find the remaining fragments of this chaos divine sword."

"The two of us join forces, rule the Spirit Realm together, and govern the world! Wouldn't that be wonderful?"

A promise from a Mahayana Stage Peak powerhouse!

Ascension to the Spirit Realm! Completing a Divine Artifact! Ruling the world together!

If these three conditions were thrown out, let alone a Void Refinement Stage Cultivator in the Lower Realm, even those old monsters in the Spirit Realm who had lived for tens of thousands of years would go crazy upon hearing them!

The hearts of the thirty thousand Central Region Prodigies sank to the bottom.

It's all over.

Faced with absolute power crushing them and such extreme temptation, anyone else would probably kick this burden away without hesitation!

"Senior Cao... please don't agree to him..."

"Benefactor! You are our last hope!"

Everyone was looking at Cao Kun nervously, terrified that he would nod his head.

Cao Kun hovered in mid-air, feeling the fear, despair, and pleading being frantically transmitted along the Sentient Being Lines.

He couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

Ascend to the Spirit Realm? Rule the world together?

Does he really take me for some naive fool who just stepped out into the Jianghu?

Not to mention how much of this old guy's words are true or false.

Just look at these thirty thousand Central Region Prodigies below; they are his current source of power!

Without the massive Power Of Faith provided by these thirty thousand Sentient Being Liness, what would the dark gold Dragon in his Purple Mansion use to transform?

What would he use to burst out with Mahayana Stage battle prowess across levels?

Kill the goose that lays the golden eggs and hand over his power bank to someone else?

Only a fool would do that business!

Besides, Cao Kun hates it the most when people paint big pictures for him.

"Hey, I'm talking to you, old geezer."

Cao Kun picked his ears, showing no disdain on his face, and shouted at the demonic manifestation in the sky:

"Ascending to the Spirit Realm is only a matter of time. I have legs and can go myself, so there's no need for you to curry favor with me here!"

God Emperor Lingxiao clearly did not expect Cao Kun to refuse so decisively.

A look of astonishment flashed across his three faces simultaneously, and then they turned completely gloomy.

The terrifying Mahayana Stage Spiritual Pressure pressed down again like a tsunami.

"Extremely stupid!"

"The Laws of the Lower Realm are incomplete. Even if your battle prowess is Heaven-Defying, without this Emperor's help, you will never be able to break the barrier!"

"Why on earth would you give up such supreme Opportunity for these lowly people of the Lower Realm?!"

Cao Kun slowly raised the chaos divine sword in his hand.

The pitch-black tip of the sword pointed far away at the head in the middle of the Emperor.

"Old geezer, you talk too much! Do you really take me for a trash can, stuffing whatever rotten pie into my mouth?"

"You want to rule the world with me?"

"You should go pee and look at yourself in it! Three heads and six arms, covered in black scales, looking like a genetically mutated toad!"

"With you, a monster that is neither human nor ghost, walking by my side, do you know how much it lowers my good looks?"

Cao Kun's words were full of vigor, and with the blessing of the Emperors Law, they spread throughout the entire Divine Ruins.

It gave a shot of adrenaline to the thirty thousand Central Region Prodigies below who had already given up hope and were waiting to die.

How arrogant! How domineering!

As expected of the Great Philanthropist Cao whom we worship!

"Little beast!!!"

God Emperor Lingxiao was completely enraged this time.

"You refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit! Since you are determined to seek death, then become blood food along with them!"

Rumble!

The demonic manifestation stopped talking nonsense, its massive body suddenly pressing down.

Six demonic arms formed seals simultaneously, and the Death Qi filling the sky turned into a black ocean.

It surged down towards Cao Kun and the Prodigies below.

Facing this attack that could wipe out everything, Cao Kun did not retreat half a step.

He held the sword with one hand and grabbed into the Void Realm with the other.

A transparent glass bottle containing half a bottle of purple liquid appeared in his hand.

Inside, lightning flashed, and electric arcs wandered.

It was the top-grade treasure he had taken from the Royal Treasury, the lightning tribulation liquid!

"One bottle might not be enough..."

Cao Kun muttered.

He took out the top-grade Magic Treasure "Replication Mirror" that he had just opened from the System space.

He held the Replication Mirror and shone it at the lightning tribulation liquid in his hand.

"Hum!"

The Replication Mirror flashed with light.

Another identical bottle of lightning tribulation liquid, with the exact same breath of thunder inside, appeared out of thin air in Cao Kun's left hand!

"Holy crap, this thing is really useful!"

Cao Kun's eyes lit up, then he pulled out the two bottle stoppers without hesitation.

He tilted his head back and poured both bottles of lightning tribulation liquid into his mouth at the same time!

"He's crazy!! Senior Cao is crazy!!"

The Prodigies in the back screamed in fear.

You have to know, this is the violent essence bred at the core of the Heavenly Tribulation!

Even a Cultivator at the Integration Stage Peak would be blown to smithereens in spirit and soul if they dared to gulp it down like this!

He actually drank two bottles in one breath?!

The lightning tribulation liquid entered his abdomen.

"Boom!"

The violent lightning power exploded in Cao Kun's internal organs!

Purple lightning sprayed directly out of his pores, shattering the surrounding space.

Cao Kun gave a muffled groan, feeling as if he had swallowed ten thousand volcanoes about to erupt.

His Meridians, bones, and flesh were all enduring an unimaginable tearing sensation.

But as the Chaos Unity Art circulated in his body, those rampaging lightning bolts were slowly devoured and assimilated.

Cao Kun endured the severe pain and grinned wildly.

His double pupils turned into two rotating Yin and Yang Formation Plates, and his whole body shone with lightning!

"Old dog, today I will let you see what real heavenly punishment is!"

Feeling the Emperors Law and the lightning tribulation liquid perfectly fuse in his body.

Cao Kun once again activated the Thunder Emperors Myriad Laws!

With the blessing of the double dose of lightning tribulation liquid.

This time!

The tribulation clouds gathered above the firmament were ten times, a hundred times larger than when he killed Yin Tianzheng before!

The entire world was dyed purple-gold.

However, this sky full of lightning did not strike God Emperor Lingxiao.

Instead, it all poured back into Cao Kun's body!

Between the interwoven lightning, a suit of purple-gold lightning armor, condensed from pure Heavenly Dao lightning punishment, covered Cao Kun's body.

At this moment, Cao Kun was clad in lightning battle armor, holding a broken sword entwined with Chaos and divine thunder.

Nine five-clawed golden Dragons roared as they shuttled through the sea of lightning.

At this moment, he was no longer a Lower Realm Cultivator.

Cao Kun seemed to be the real ancient Thunder Emperor, crossing the ages, descending into the world in his true form!

He held his sword pointing to the sky, his eyes looking down on everything, issuing an edict in a voice like a great bell.

Under the shroud of the Emperors Law and the power of thunder, it resounded through the Nine Heavens and shattered the sky full of blood rain!

"Glorious Heavenly Might, obey my edict!"

"Nine Heavens Respond to the Origin Thunder Sound Universal Transformation Heavenly Venerable!"

Accompanying this roar that shattered the firmament.

A huge gap in the Void Realm slowly cracked open in the center of the tribulation clouds covering the entire Divine Ruins.

A vast Thunder Emperor phantom, ten thousand feet tall and condensed entirely from the highest Heavenly Dao lightning punishment, slowly manifested behind Cao Kun!
