Chapter 433 Striking the Enemy, Finding the Killing Aura (4000)

The earth was like glass, thick dark clouds hung heavy, and thunder roared and raged.

boom!
It was the sound of thunder, and also the roar of a beast.

A figure in crimson stood at the bow of the ship, looking down.

The unicorn demon, with its bloodshot eyes, roared to the sky.

In the next instant, Zhang Yuanzhu raised his arm, spread his five fingers, and pressed down casually.

bang~
The monster exploded, scattering blood and bones everywhere, and the roars fell silent.

The young man remained indifferent, turned his palm upward, and made a light gesture.

The crystal-clear earth cracked open, and a stream of light shot out, landing in the palm of the hand.

He slightly bent his five fingers, rubbing the flowing light in his palm, feeling the tingling sensation from his fingertips.

Fa Yan, standing to the side, frowned slightly as he gazed at the azure stone in his fellow Daoist's palm and sighed:
"A rare stone with lightning attributes, not a malevolent aura."

After a pause, the woman's voice took on a serious tone:
“Brother Dao, we have searched for four days, almost covering the entire central region of Thunder Marsh, but we have not found any thunder-attribute evil energy.”

"Actually, there's no need to search anymore. After escorting my senior sister and me back, I will retrieve the complete Yin-Yang attribute evil energy for you, fellow Daoist."

She naturally knew that the young man's all-out search for evil energy was merely a precaution to avoid any accidents, but...
You're underestimating her!

If you promise something, how could you break your word?

Zhang Yuanzhu flipped his hand, putting away the strange stone in his palm, and looked south:

"There is still one area that has not been searched. If there is no thunder-attribute evil energy in the place where the Thunder Dragon is located, we will go into seclusion to cultivate and will not waste any more time."

"it is good!"

Fa Yan nodded, his brows slowly relaxing, and then reminded him:
"The Thunder Flood Dragon is about to transform into a dragon, fellow Daoist, please be careful."

"I will win!"

Chi Ying's arms hung naturally at her sides, her expression calm, exuding an indescribable confidence and determination.

After four days of searching, although no lightning-attribute evil energy was found, the divine form—the Black Tortoise—has taken the final step and is now completely complete.

His combat strength has naturally improved compared to a few days ago.

Legal stepped out from behind the flying boat, came to his junior sister's side, put his hands together, and parted his red lips slightly.

"Junior sister, do not worry. I have never been defeated in our conquests across thousands of miles of mountains and rivers."

"Of course I believe you, Brother Dao!"

Fa Yan glanced at his senior sister, stomped his foot lightly, and the flying boat headed south.

Dark clouds loomed overhead, the earth shimmered with a glassy light, and lightning struck intermittently.

A lone boat flies across the sky, heading south.

Zhang Yuanzhu stood at the bow of the boat, ignoring the thunder and lightning, closing his eyes to rest and adjust his state, keeping his body at its peak.

Time passes minute by minute.

A cup of tea!

One stick of incense!
One hour!!!
Three full hours passed before Zhang Yuanzhu finally opened his eyes and looked ahead.

The endless palace ruins, the weeds shrouded in thunder, and the collapsed stone pillars resemble an ancient ruin.

No! It should be the ruins.

At that moment, ripples stirred deep within the youth's eyes.

Call ~
He exhaled softly and slowly began to speak:
"Something interesting!"

This scene was unexpected.

Immediately, his double pupils became deep and profound, and the secret technique of 'Dispelling Illusions' erupted, scanning the surroundings.

Suddenly, his pupils contracted as he looked at a palace located in the center of the ruins.

The walls were mottled, the door was covered with rust, and the roof had collapsed, revealing the interior of the main hall.

Zhang Yuanzhu's gaze had already pierced through all obstacles in an instant and reached him.
Countless fine, dragon-scale-like azure mists, layer upon layer, ever-changing, still exuded an aura of majesty even across vast distances.

"Lightning-attribute malevolent energy!"

Zhang Yuanzhu's lips curled up in a smile, filled with joy.

Following the young man's gaze, Fa Yan also saw the scale-like mist, and her red lips parted slightly:

"Congratulations, fellow Daoist. This is the Thunder Scale Evil Qi. It is formed by the natural aura of a thunder dragon that has existed for a long time, combined with a special environment."

"This thunder dragon is not a real dragon, yet it has generated such a malevolent aura; the chances of that are extremely small."

He paused, clasped his hands together, lowered his head slightly, and uttered each word carefully:
"This item is destined for you, fellow Daoist!"

"As it should be!"

The young man chuckled, but did not immediately seize it.

He sensed danger; his mind and body instinctively issued warnings, like a ferocious beast lurking in the shadows, waiting to ambush him.

The thunder dragon that is about to transform into a dragon must be nearby, hiding in the shadows.
Zhang Yuanzhu narrowed his double pupils, raised his hand, gripped the long ruler tightly, and remained alert to all directions.

At this moment, Fa Guang gazed at the inscription on the palace gate plaque, scanned the ruins of various buildings, and frowned slightly:
“Brother Dao, Junior Sister, the style of these palaces looks familiar; it seems I’ve seen them somewhere before.”

Upon hearing this, the young man quickly recalled all the things he had witnessed in the past. With his cultivation level, he was naturally very clear about all his experiences.

Finally, all the images in my mind disappeared, freezing on a body of water.

Palaces and pavilions stand amidst the water, bearing the marks of time and dampness.

"A Primordial True Person!"

"A Primordial True Person!!"

Two voices rang out almost simultaneously.

Zhang Yuanzhu and Fayan exchanged a knowing glance.

That was their experience in a body of water at Qingmu Mountain, after which they killed the Du family servants and entered the ruins of the True Man.

Legend has it that the Innate True Man was a powerful figure who had reached the pinnacle of the Condensing Qi Realm and was a rogue cultivator who might break through to the Golden Core Realm. Surprisingly, he left behind some ruins here.

What is the relationship between that hidden thunder dragon and this real person?
Six hundred years have passed. Has this innate master taken a crucial step?
Various thoughts churned in Zhang Yuanzhu's mind, making his expression solemn.

The young people were even more cautious, exploring the site with all their might, leaving no detail overlooked:
"found it!"

With a single word!
Huhuhuhu~
The wind howled, snowflakes fell, and the world was a vast expanse of white.

Thunder and dark clouds all dissipated and vanished, leaving only snow and ice to fall, blurring the vision of living beings and severing their spiritual senses.

On the earth, red lotuses bloom, each petal lifelike, crystal clear, like flawless jade.

Snowflakes fall, red lotuses rise, the two intertwine, fire and ice blend harmoniously yet stand in opposition.

Absolutely stunning and gorgeous!
hum~
The red lotus trembled slightly and drifted down towards an empty space.

Rumble!
A deafening roar resounded one after another, the wind and snow grew more intense, and red lotuses continued to fall.

The next moment.

roar~
A dragon's roar resounded, extinguishing the red lotus blossoms and halting the swirling snowstorm.

One bolt of lightning after another tore through the wind and snow, shattered the red lotus, and struck down.

A true dragon with azure scales appeared out of thin air, its cold eyes gazing at the crimson shadow ahead.

The two sides faced off across the distance, creating completely different scenes in the world.

On one side, snowstorms raged and red lotuses fluttered; on the other, thunder roared and lightning thundered incessantly.

The space was silent, and the atmosphere was oppressive.

The thunder dragon swung its head and stretched its beastly body, its scales gleaming.

"It's rare to see someone who escaped by sheer luck and then dares to come back to seek death."

Zhang Yuanzhu grinned, his eyes shining like the sun, burning with fierce fighting spirit.

He gripped the long ruler tightly with his five fingers and took a step forward.

"Too much nonsense!"

Raise your arm, extend the ruler!
kill!

Like an eternal, everlasting celestial light, it bloomed, carrying with it a sky full of snow and red lotus blossoms, piercing forward.

In an instant, it traversed the sky and pointed at the dragon's head.

"Insects run rampant!"

The thunder dragon roared, and the surrounding lightning suddenly contracted, gathering entirely at its two horns. Like two peerless divine swords, they converged with the most yang and powerful lightning, also carrying a piercing sharpness.

The dragon raised its head and crashed forward with a thunderous roar.

Explosive and brutal!
A shimmering white celestial light and a streak of azure sword light traversed the sky almost instantly, clashing fiercely together.

Rumble~
Snow and thunder intertwined, red lotus and sword light clashed against each other, and shimmering white light collided with twin horns.

In less than a breath, they had already clashed hundreds of times until they were both annihilated.

"Come on, keep going!"

Zhang Yuanzhu laughed loudly, his fighting spirit growing even stronger.

A thought!
Its face blurred, and the Crimson Dragon Nuo Mask emerged, instantly turning into golden liquid that covered its body and transformed into a pair of dragon horns, their sharpness fully revealed.

The white tiger mask appeared and then disappeared, its arms adorned with flowing gold and white stripes, like tiger stripes, exuding a murderous aura.

The blue phoenix Nuo mask appeared, and wings grew on its back, with life flowing between them as it flapped.

The Qilin Nuo mask appeared and then disappeared, transforming into the dark scales on its body, tough and profound.

The Xuanwu Nuo mask appeared, turning into yellow mist that adhered to the legs, engraving patterns that conveyed weight and vastness.

At this moment, the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth rise up throughout the body, flowing and interacting endlessly.

At this moment, the five divine forms appeared simultaneously and merged into one.

A being that combines the strengths of five divine beasts—the true dragon, the white tiger, the blue phoenix, the qilin, and the black tortoise—stands in the sky, its red robes fluttering, its dragon eyes cold.

The secret technique he had been cultivating since breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage has been completely completed and is now being revealed to the world.

The young man leaned slightly forward, a very simple movement that shook the heavens and earth, causing a creaking sound as if the earth was about to collapse under the weight.

Tens of millions of tons of air, spiritual energy, and everything tangible and intangible were pushed aside by an overwhelming force, sweeping across the vast wilderness.

Raise your left arm, palm facing forward, fingers spread, the sun, moon, stars, grass, trees, mountains and rivers shimmering, as if all things in heaven and earth are held in your palm.

Clench your five fingers together and strike out with a thunderous roar.

Qiankun Seal, kill!

His right arm gripped the measuring rod tightly, and he slashed upwards in reverse.

A single blade soared into the air, yet it seemed as if countless blade lights were blooming, intertwining and converging to transform into a majestic mountain of blades coiled around a crimson dragon.

They were sharp and aggressive, and brutal and ruthless.

kill!

With a punch and a slash, he struck the Thunder Dragon, carrying with him an indomitable will to fight forever and be invincible, and struck towards the heavens!

Danger!

very dangerous!!

Extremely dangerous!!!

This was the first time Lei Jiao had encountered such an attack since entering the fifth step of the Condensing Fiend Realm, and his body instinctively sent out warning signals.

His dragon eyes were filled with solemnity.

roar~
The thunder dragon roared, its body swelling in the wind, transforming into a ten-thousand-foot-long thunder dragon in the blink of an eye.

Azure lightning descended from the sky, coiling around his body, making his scales gleam. As the light flowed, dazzling sword energy burst forth.

These sword energies, flashing with lightning, are sometimes vast, sometimes sharp, sometimes ruthless, and sometimes resolute. They appear as if thousands or tens of thousands of sword techniques are appearing at the same time, then intertwining and converging, evolving into a grand spectacle of endless life and death.

Then, it transformed into a world of sword energy, facing the fists and blades.

Two massive attacks traversed space, drawing ever closer!
near!!
Get closer!!!
Until they touch!

A sword and a fist met the world of sword energy.

Kakakka~
Terrifying cracking sounds rang out, and jagged, terrifying fissures spread outwards from the point of impact.

One after another, the lightning-like sword energy was extinguished, and the entire world of sword energy teetered on the brink of collapse.

"kill!"

Zhang Yuanzhu roared, his fist thrusting forward as his long ruler cleaved down.

Boom~
Amidst a deafening roar as if the world were being created, the light of fists and blades overwhelmed the sword energy, covering everything.
It struck the dragon's body.

Clang~ Click~
Scales shattered, flesh torn apart, and bones snapped.

The dragon's massive body flew out horizontally, its blood and flesh cascading down like a waterfall, staining the crystal-clear earth crimson.

roar~
Lei Jiao roared in pain, his dragon eyes bloodshot and filled with chilling killing intent.

Since its birth, it has never suffered such injuries. Following that person's instructions to cultivate until now, it has been unrestrained and has never been so disheveled.

Just now, a punch and a knife almost cut it in half.

"Human, I will devour you!"

An inexplicable Daoist aura began to flow through the dragon's body, and heaven and earth, as well as thunder, fell into an extreme stillness.

Then the thunder dissipated, the dragon blood dissipated, the sword energy also dissipated, and all magic power and evil energy disappeared, returning to their original state and transforming into a chaotic wave of energy.

It rises and falls, the air currents surge, as if creating something new, or as if destroying something.

Thunder Dragon raised its head, its sharp teeth bared:

“If I were to use human techniques to kill you, a human prodigy, I’m sure a Primordial True Person would be very ‘happy’.”

The dragon's body trembled slightly, and wisps of chaotic colored energy gathered and surged forward, like a vast ocean crashing down.

Wherever it passed, space silently vanished, and even the void was stirred up with ripples.

Zhang Yuanzhu gazed at the chaotic river, his double pupils staring directly at its essence, his expression growing increasingly solemn.

This technique, created based on one's own innate Qi, simulates the creation and destruction of heaven and earth, and is extremely powerful.

Such temperament and talent would earn even Zhang Yuanzhu's admiration.

Unfortunately.
"The true form of the Primordial Immortal has not been seen!"

The young man sighed softly, his voice filled with disappointment.

If it were a true master performing this, it would never be so rudimentary.

He took a step forward, extended his palm, and formed an ancient hand seal.

It seemed like a prayer, yet also like suppression.

Zhang Yuanzhu's gaze was calm, and the nine spiritual platforms within his dantian trembled simultaneously, with streams of magical power surging out and transforming into thunder.

Crackling~
Amidst the crisscrossing purple lightning, there seemed to be endless Daoist principles flowing and intertwining, before transforming into a majestic gate that has remained unchanged since time immemorial and eternally existent!

A vast, boundless, and magnificent aura rose up.

With an invincible spirit of being the only one who reigns supreme.

The masses live before the gate, while immortals reside behind it!
This is—the Southern Heavenly Gate!

The seal pressed down, and the gate rose from the ground, blocking the flood.

Rumble~
The chaotic, turbulent river surged and billowed, its waves crashing in all directions.

The gate stands tall, suppressing the great river, sacred and majestic.

hum~
The South Heavenly Gate trembled slightly, flowing upstream and extinguishing the surging chaotic colored river. Under the incredulous gaze of the Thunder Dragon, it crashed onto the dragon's head.

Click~
Both horns were broken, the skull was shattered, and brain matter was splattered everywhere.

The Thunder Dragon drooped half of its head and retreated rapidly, its single remaining eye filled with fear.

How could this human be so powerful? If it wasn't mistaken, the opponent was only at the Foundation Establishment stage, and hadn't even stepped out of the Qi Condensation stage.

"Whose disciple are you? I am the successor of a Primordial True Person. What do you wish to do?"

Zhang Yuanzhu smiled, picked up the long ruler, and stepped forward into the air.

tower!
"A weak will leads to a fragile mind."

tower!
"The fighting techniques are so rudimentary as to be laughable."

tower!
"Aside from having a pure bloodline, he's utterly useless!"

Zhang Yuanzhu stood a hundred meters away from the thunder dragon, and with a stroke of his foot, swept across its mangled body.

A cold voice echoed through the sky.

"How dare those who wear armor and horns speak of matters of inheritance!"
