215: Chapter 215 Taiyi Purple Thunder

The tribulation cloud churned incessantly; the original red and white lightning had now turned into a purplish-red color.

The range of the tribulation cloud had also expanded by more than ten times.

Approximate looked at the thousand-zhang-tall Heavenly Net,

his lips trembling.

He only cultivated the Nonsense Sutra; these guys were truly talking nonsense.

The appearance of the Heavenly Net caused the originally receding Heavenly Tribulation to evolve once again.

"Purple Extreme Immortal Lightning Tribulation."

"The Immortal Lightning Tribulation used by the Heavenly Dao to punish Heavenly Immortals."

"Tsk tsk~"

"Master, enjoy it yourself."

"I'm out of here."

Approximate showed no sportsmanship; just as the Heavenly Net's attack and the Purple Extreme Immortal Lightning were about to arrive, he actually transformed into a golden character and hid within Zhao Yi's brow.

At the same moment Approximate disappeared, the world suddenly fell silent.

That purplish-red tribulation cloud writhed like a living creature, and a deep, giant mouth split open in its center, as if the Eye of the Firmament had opened, coldly looking down upon the mortal world.

An indescribable pressure poured down from the Nine Heavens; mountains and rivers cracked, and rivers flowed backward.

All living beings within ten thousand miles prostrated themselves on the ground, finding even breathing difficult.

The Void Realm shattered inch by inch, black cracks spreading like a spiderweb, each flicker accompanied by the wailing of the Law.

Even under such circumstances, the Heavenly Net did not think of defending against the Heavenly Tribulation. Instead, it swung a fist glowing with immortal light and smashed it toward Zhao Yi.

With a height of a thousand zhang, this fist was truly like a small mountain.

If he were hit...

Just thinking about it made Zhao Yi's scalp tingle.

As for blocking—

Zhao Yi glanced at the Purple Extreme Immortal Lightning Tribulation in the sky and silently summoned the Fuyu Palace.

Clang—

The Heavenly Net's punch didn't hit Zhao Yi but smashed directly onto the mineral vein, letting out a massive boom.

"What hard ore!"

The ten Hall Masters could hardly believe their eyes.

They had just seen Zhao Yi easily mine dozens of Immortal Stones.

Rumble—

There wasn't much time for the Heavenly Net to think; the Purple Extreme Immortal Lightning descended.

Boom!

A bolt of lightning, purple with a hint of red, struck down from the tribulation cloud like a Blade of the Heavenly Dao slashed from beyond the Nine Heavens, tearing through the Void Realm and plunging straight down.

Before the Heavenly Net could even withdraw its fist, that lightning had already struck its body.

"Roar!"

The Heavenly Net's thousand-zhang body trembled violently in the lightning; the immortal light collapsed, and its Physical Body was hit as if by a ten-thousand-catty sledgehammer. Its skin split and flesh tore, and blood rained down like a waterfall onto the mineral vein.

"Ah!"

The roars of the ten Hall Masters were mixed with pain and indignation. A dignified thousand-zhang body at the Middle Stage of the Heavenly Immortal Realm was actually forced to one knee by a single bolt of heavenly thunder, only staying upright by propping itself up with a giant hand.

"This is too much! How can this Purple Extreme Immortal Lightning be so abnormal?"

"I don't believe it!"

This time, Gui Xu's voice was much louder.

The Heavenly Net roared at the sky, and a towering black Qi erupted from its broken body, interlacing with the immortal light to transform into a Heaven-Defying pillar of light that shot straight into the tribulation cloud.

Rumble—

The tribulation cloud was provoked by this pillar of light and churned even more violently.

The second bolt of Purple Extreme Immortal Lightning arrived almost instantly.

It was thicker and more intense than the previous one.

There was even golden light flowing within the thunder, like a heavenly book descending to the world, containing the power to suppress all spirits.

"Hahaha~"

The Heavenly Net was not afraid; instead, it laughed toward the sky.

"Great Rotation Technique!"

When an immortal technique was prefixed with 'Great', it was bound to be accompanied by a Law.

Ten points of starlight suddenly appeared above the Heavenly Net's head.

The starlight circulated and actually blocked the Purple Extreme Immortal Lightning.

Inside the Fuyu Palace, Zhao Yi's entire body was pitch black.

Even while hiding in the Fuyu Palace, he hadn't escaped the Purple Extreme Immortal Lightning and had taken a bolt of the Lightning Tribulation head-on.

"They actually blocked it? How boring is that?"

"Should I add some more ingredients for you?"

Approximate had a faint bad premonition.

"Master, what do you want to do?"

Zhao Yi didn't respond, only looking at his attribute panel.

【Miner: Zhao Yi】

【Cultivation: Late-stage Earth Immortal Realm (Can be upgraded)】

【experience points: 4831/1600】

【Reward: good luck card (nine heavens)】

He silently said in his heart,

"System, upgrade my cultivation!"

1600 experience points were instantly deducted from the 4831.

The golden Law of Money surged out from the Void Realm,

instantly engulfing Zhao Yi.

Approximate, within his brow, also became dazed.

"This is?"

"The power of Law?"

Then, Approximate's eyes turned glazed.

No matter what Law it was, it had manifested. Approximate would be a fool not to try and comprehend it.

It seemed like an instant yet also like hundreds of thousands of years before Zhao Yi emerged from the sea of Law.

Holding a Medium Grade Immortal Stone in his hand,

"Money!"

A sigh escaped him, filled with endless emotion.

At the same time Zhao Yi was feeling emotional, the Heavenly Tribulation outside the Fuyu Palace began to churn again.

The purplish-red tribulation cloud developed golden edges.

"This is?"

"Upgrading again?"

"Taiyi Purple Extreme Thunder?"

"Why?"

Gui Xu, who had been treating the tribulation cloud as training, now felt his mental state beginning to crumble.

"Even if the Great Awakening Spirit Realm were to be destroyed, there's no need to use the Taiyi Purple Extreme Thunder, right?"

Adding Taiyi to the Purple Extreme Thunder meant even a Golden Immortal would be crippled.

This saying was no joke.

The ten of them shared a connected consciousness; since Gui Xu was shocked, Jian Xu naturally knew as well.

"Damn it, you wanted to be crazy?"

"Now look at this, let's all finish together."

Jian Xu finally broke down.

The Ten Directions Heavenly Net Formation shattered in response.

"What exactly is going on?"

"Even if we were guilty of the most heinous crimes, there would be no need for the Taiyi Purple Extreme Thunder."

"Who is plotting against us?"

Boom!

The moment the Taiyi Purple Extreme Thunder fell, heaven and earth were no longer heaven and earth.

It didn't look like thunder; it looked more like the end of everything.

Silent and soundless, it caused the very existence of all things to begin decomposing.

On the edges of the golden lightning, ancient runes appeared, each inscribed with the six Daoist meanings of 'Ban, Seal, Extinguish, Absolute, Slay, and Forget'.

It was as if this thunder was not for undergoing a tribulation, but for completely erasing something that shouldn't exist.

Gui Xu bore the brunt of it.

He was originally at the Middle Stage of the Earth Immortal Realm; facing the Purple Extreme Immortal Lightning, he could still be provocative.

But when the Taiyi Purple Extreme Thunder descended, his protective immortal light shattered like thin paper.

The Lightning Tribulation struck his body.

"Pfft!"

Gui Xu spat out a mouthful of Origin essence blood. Countless memory fragments appeared within the blood, and as soon as the lightning shone on them, they were all turned to ash.

"My cultivation..."

"My Dao..."

"My name..."

Gui Xu discovered in horror that his obsessions were being stripped away, as if his very existence was being crossed out by the Heavenly Dao.

He desperately circulated his immortal techniques to barely preserve a sliver of immortal consciousness, but his eyes had lost their focus, his hair turned to white ash inch by inch, and his skin cracked, revealing the withered, mummy-like bones beneath.

"Don't..."

"I don't want to..."

Gui Xu murmured, kneeling in the Void Realm like a weathered stone statue, slowly collapsing.

Jian Xu was even worse off.

His cultivation was low to begin with and his Dao Heart was unstable; before the lightning even reached him, the pressure had already thrown his Divine Soul into chaos.

He screamed as he tore open his own chest, trying to dig out that 'Dao Heart' to prove his innocence, but as soon as the 'Dao Heart' left his body, it was swallowed by the 'Forget' imprint within the lightning and vanished into nothingness.

His entire being twisted and stretched in mid-air like a clay doll being kneaded by an invisible hand, finally exploding with a 'pop' into a cloud of blood mist, leaving not even a remnant soul behind.

The other eight Hall Masters didn't even have time to scream.

Three had their Physical Bodies vaporized instantly.

Two had their Divine Souls frozen, their consciousnesses stuck in that final moment of terror, becoming "living corpses" floating in the Void Realm.

The remaining three were sealed by the 'Ban' character in the lightning, turning into three golden statues with bleeding eyes and mouths frozen in silent wails.
