281: One thought builds the foundation, and the star thunder shocks the world

As Mo Yan visualized, an invisible force ascended from the entire Cangming City and gathered upon him.

That was the will of the people, Luck, and Power Of Will!

Immediately after, he circulated his Mind-Cultivation Technique again.

This time, instead of forcibly seizing the power of the stars, he invited and guided it with the intention of protection.

Above the Xumi Realm, a starry sky suddenly appeared, as if responding to a summons.

Stars, one by one, cast down soft starlight, merging into Mo Yan's body.

These star-lights no longer felt tearing like before; the gentle power of the stars actively integrated into his Dantian and Qi Sea.

Following that, it was the Sword Art.

The dark golden thunderclouds on the Tribulation Lightning Tempering Platform surged.

At this moment, the bolts of lightning, devoid of destructive aura, instead circled Mo Yan like docile pets, injecting the Origin of lightning into his body.

Stars as the Foundation, lightning as the beams, Power Of Will as the fire.

A world-shaking transformation was occurring within Mo Yan's Dantian.

The gaseous Spiritual Qi, under the refining of Power Of Will, fused with starlight and lightning, compressing and condensing little by little…

One drop…

Two drops…

Three drops…

Liquid Spiritual Qi, sparkling like star diamonds and imbued with the might of thunder, began to appear.

This process was extremely slow.

Mo Yan’s consciousness was completely immersed in his enlightenment.

He was personally forging a unique Foundation for his immortal Dao path.

Time slowly flowed by.

The last of the gaseous Spiritual Qi in his Dantian was transformed, and all the liquid Spiritual Qi, instead of gathering into a lake like in ordinary Cultivators, was guided and shaped by his will.

The prototype of a city quietly emerged.

With the power of the stars as bricks and stones, tall city walls and dense houses were built.

With the power of lightning as beams and pillars, solemn military camps and magnificent buildings were supported.

With the Power Of Will of protection as the network, the entire city was connected as one, imbuing it with undying vitality.

Finally, a miniature version of Cangming City quietly floated in the center of his Dantian.

It seemed to contain a real world, and with every circulation, it exhaled the majestic power of stars and lightning.

His Dao Foundation was complete!

At this very instant, a terrifying aura, hundreds of times stronger than that of the Qi Refinement Stage, erupted from Mo Yan!

Rumble—!

The entire Xumi Realm trembled violently, and the stars and thunderclouds in the sky seemed to cheer for him.

Dense Spiritual Qi turned into a storm, pouring madly into Mo Yan's body.

But this was only the beginning.

This phenomenon was not confined within the Xumi Realm but penetrated the spatial barrier, manifesting directly in the outside world!

Above Cangming City, the winds and clouds changed color.

The originally clear sky darkened without warning, and a brilliant galaxy replaced the daylight, spanning across the sky.

Immediately after, endless dark golden lightning surged within the galaxy, intertwining into a sea of thunder.

“Look, at the sky!”

Inside the city, countless residents looked up in horror, their faces pale with fright at the apocalyptic sight.

However, the fear did not last long.

Within the starlight and lightning, the illusory image of a magnificent city slowly emerged.

That city, they were incredibly familiar with; it was precisely Cangming City beneath their feet!

“It's Lord!”

“Lord has reached Foundation Establishment!”

No one knew who was the first to kneel.

Immediately after, sounds of worship, like mountains and tsunamis, resounded throughout the city.

At the same time, in various parts of the territory.

General Ao Zhan, who was drilling Soldiers, suddenly looked up.

The power contained within that city in the sky made even him, a true Dragon who had seen many grand scenes, feel a tremor originating from his Bloodline.

And the source of that power was the Lord to whom he had sworn allegiance.

“Following the strong is an instinct of my Dragon Clan, but following such a master…” General Ao Zhan clenched his fists, with surging Battle Intent, “It is my General Ao Zhan’s honor!”

Inside the temporarily built Tianyin Pavilion, Hua Li walked out of her room, gazing up at the sky, lost in thought.

She murmured, “Is this… the Lord's grandeur?”

“Using heaven and earth as the backdrop, and stars and lightning as ink, to celebrate his own Breakthrough…”

She suddenly laughed, shaking with laughter.

Her small ambition of reviving her Sect seemed laughably insignificant in the face of such great power.

In the academy, Xu Yanyan put down the bamboo slip in his hand, looking at the celestial phenomenon, his calm face finally showed emotion, which ultimately turned into a long sigh of admiration.

“Using a city as the Foundation, the people as the root, and fusing stars and lightning for his own use… He actually, truly walked a path unprecedented by anyone before.”

“The Foundation of Gods and Demons, forged in a single morning. This world, I fear, will change because of him.”

And at this moment, in a hidden mountain hollow dozens of kilometers outside Cangming City.

A black-clad Lord was peeking in the direction of Cangming City through a crystal eyeball.

When the celestial phenomenon appeared, the greed on his face turned into fear.

“What… what the hell is this? Breakthrough? Whose Breakthrough can cause such a commotion!”

He wanted to immediately cut off the connection and retrieve his reconnaissance treasure.

However, it was too late.

The lightning city in the sky seemed to sense something; a dark golden electric light, following his prying gaze, flashed across a distance of dozens of kilometers.

“Ah—!”

The black-clad Lord let out a shrill scream; the crystal eyeball in his hand cracked with a “crunch” and then exploded.

He himself was struck by lightning, his body scorched black, bleeding from all seven orifices, his Divine Soul severely wounded, and he screamed as he fell to the ground, unconscious.

H City, North District Command Center.

He Yongping and Zhang Chen were discussing a planning map when they were suddenly interrupted by the astonishing celestial phenomenon outside the window.

The two rushed to the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the star-lightning city suspended in the sky, too shocked to speak.

“This… This is definitely Mr. Mo!” Zhang Chen’s voice was trembling.

He Yongping nodded vigorously, his eyes filled with undisguised ecstasy: “Quick, record this scene and report it to the Chief immediately!”

Inside the Xumi Realm.

Mo Yan slowly opened his eyes, two flashes of brilliant light containing starlight and electric arcs flickered away.

He felt the city of his Dao Foundation in his Dantian, which was connected to his Bloodline, and the surging, ceaseless power within his body; an unprecedented feeling of strength arose spontaneously.

He raised his hand, and with a thought, a wisp of starlight and a trace of electric arc intertwined and fused at his fingertips, emitting a heart-palpitating aura of destruction.
