Under One Person: My Inner Realm Connects to All Worlds!

Chapter 187 Talisman Thunder City
"Haha! That was great!"

Lu Jin, unable to gain the upper hand after a long and fruitless attack, instead of getting angry, laughed. He let out a long roar and finally stopped holding back, "Old Celestial Master, take this move from me!"

Before he finished speaking, his aura suddenly changed!
A pure white light emanated from his body, and his entire being instantly became crystal clear, as if cast from beautiful glass and jade. He once again entered that perfect state of "heaven and man" Qi transformation!
It did not completely disperse, but maintained a human form, yet it was already a body of primordial Qi.

He struck out with his palm, seemingly slowly, yet it seemed to draw upon the surrounding天地之气 (heaven and earth energy), and a huge palm print condensed from pure white light appeared out of thin air.

Golden veins seemed to flow within the palm print, containing terrifying power capable of shattering mountains and splitting rocks, and also carrying a majestic aura that could purify everything, pressing down on Zhang Zhiwei!
Zhang Lingyu exclaimed in surprise. The power of this palm strike far surpassed any move he had ever seen!
Zhang Zhiwei's expression finally turned serious. He stopped using one hand and instead clasped his hands together, then suddenly thrust them upwards!
"Golden Light Mantra, Transform!"

A dazzling golden light shot into the sky, not just a simple protective golden light, but a golden divine general phantom that instantly condensed above his head!

The divine general also raised both palms to the sky, forcefully supporting the enormous white palm print!
boom--! ! !
A deafening roar resounded, seemingly shaking the entire back mountain. Golden and white lights clashed violently, erupting with blinding brilliance, and a violent shockwave spread outwards in a ring, blowing many tiles off the stone pavilion!

Zhang Lingyu was pushed backward by the shockwave, barely managing to stand firm, his face filled with horror.

As the light faded, the scene became clear.

Lu Jin maintained his ethereal, otherworldly state, hovering about a foot off the ground, his body shimmering with white light, exuding a majestic, godlike aura.

Several cracks appeared on the ground beneath Zhang Zhiwei's feet, but he stood tall and did not retreat an inch. The golden light around him dimmed slightly, but he remained steadfast.

"What a 'celestial being'!"

Zhang Zhiwei slowly lowered his hand, looked at Lu Jin, and his eyes flashed with a complex light, including amazement, admiration, and a hint of understanding that was hard to detect.

"The Reverse Rebirth Triple Realm has actually brought you to this point. It seems I, this old Daoist, must take things more seriously!"

As soon as Zhang Zhiwei finished speaking, his aura suddenly changed.

The golden light, which had been as calm as a deep pool, suddenly became violent and intense, with muffled thunder rumbling emanating from his body, as if the thunder god in the heavens was about to awaken.

Blinding white lightning bolts began to leap and coil across his body, intertwining with dazzling golden light and emanating a terrifying, destructive aura.

Longhu Mountain Thunder Magic - Yang Five Thunder!

"Old Lu, be careful."

Zhang Zhiwei spoke calmly, his right hand forming a sword shape, pointing towards Lu Jin who was suspended in the air.

scoff!

A blindingly bright white bolt of lightning, like a thunder dragon tearing through the sky, struck Lu Jin in an instant at a speed beyond visual perception.

Its power was far greater than the gentle Golden Light Mantra; it was filled with the majestic might of the righteous laws of heaven and earth and pure, extreme destructive force. Lu Jin's jade-like face showed no fear; instead, his fighting spirit intensified. As Zhang Zhiwei's old friend and rival, he naturally knew the power of the Celestial Master's Mansion's thunder magic, especially when it was personally performed by Zhang Zhiwei—it was by no means ordinary.

Just as the lightning was about to strike, Lu Jin's hands moved with incredible speed, leaving behind afterimages. Without needing talisman paper or cinnabar, he used his fingers as a brush and primordial energy as ink to draw talismans in the air!

The Heavenly Record!
The shimmering white Qi flowed from his fingertips, and in an instant, complex talismans containing profound principles appeared out of thin air, layer upon layer, forming solid barriers that blocked the lightning.

Even more astonishing is that these talismans, drawn from the incomparably pure innate Qi of the third level of the "Reverse Life Triple Stage," not only formed much faster than before, but also experienced a qualitative leap in the energy and stability they contained. White light flowed over the talismans, faintly resonating with Lu Jin's celestial body, carrying a charm that was almost "Dao."

boom! boom! boom!
The blazing white lightning dragon relentlessly shattered three talisman barriers, unleashing a deafening roar and scattering electric lightning, scorching the ground into patches of blackened charcoal.

However, its momentum was ultimately slowed down for a moment by this incredibly swift and exceptionally strong defense.

In that instant, Lu Jin clasped his hands together, and the last, enormous, and extremely complex talisman instantly took shape.

"Thirty-sixfold Heavenly Palace Five Thunder Talisman!"

"Old Celestial Master, today I'll let you taste what it's like to be struck by lightning!"

The thunder talisman resembled thirty-six five thunder talismans layered upon each other, arranged and combined in a structure that was difficult for ordinary people to understand, forming an unprecedented talisman.

After Lu Jin broke through the third level of Reverse Life, his understanding of the changes in the Qi of Heaven and Earth became increasingly clear. Since talismans are essentially summoning and commanding the mysterious energy that exists in the world, Lu Jin naturally understood how to use the simplest and most convenient method to summon the same energy of Heaven and Earth.

There's a reason why Lu Jin named this Five Thunder Talisman the Heavenly Palace Five Thunder Talisman.

The enormous talisman shot into the sky, its dazzling lightning patterns constantly changing, gathering the surrounding thunderous energy. Using these lightning patterns as its support, it manifested a magnificent Thunder City Heavenly Palace.

Nine Heavens Responding Origin Palace, Supreme Jade Purity King!
Legend has it that the Thunder God resides in the Jade Palace of the Divine Firmament, amidst the azure sky and celestial energy, two thousand three hundred li away from Thunder City. Thunder City is the place where the Heavenly Court wields thunder, standing eighty-one zhang high, with the Jade Pivot Five Thunder Envoy Courtyard on the left and the Jade Palace Five Thunder Envoy Courtyard on the right.

Before the Heavenly Venerable are thirty-six thunder drums, each overseen by one of the thirty-six gods. When thunder is to be struck, the Thunder Ancestor strikes the drum once, and immediately the Thunder God and Thunder Master unleash the thunder.

Of course, this could not possibly be the legendary Thunder City; it was simply Lu Jin who merged with the void to activate the talismans and manifest them.

Even so, it still took Zhang Zhiwei quite a surprise!
Thunder City stands majestically, constructed of Qi, yet displaying a magnificent divine power. White jade steps form the steps, purple lightning forms the walls, and countless thunder patterns intertwine to create palaces with soaring eaves. The phantom images of thirty-six thunder drums hang on the city tower, with the faint phantom images of divine figures holding mallets as if about to strike.

Zhang Zhiwei looked up, his eyes flashing with lightning, and revealed a rare hint of excitement: "Well done, old Lu! The talisman manifests in the Thunder City Heavenly Palace, borrowing the power of the righteous laws of heaven and earth. Your third level of reversal of life has truly reached an unbelievable level!"

Before the words were even finished, the largest thunder drum in Thunder City roared to life!

Boom-! ! !
A deep, soul-shaking drumbeat resounded, almost like the thunderclap of heaven.

A bolt of lightning, as thick as a palace pillar and almost pure purple in color, struck down in response. Wherever it passed, the air was ionized into a dazzling glow, carrying a stern aura of judgment upon all things, and struck Zhang Zhiwei directly!
