Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 452 Evolution of the Lightning Tribulation (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Now, seeing how powerful Li Yunjing is, this expert at the seventh level of the Golden Core Realm completely regrets his actions.

"We've lost so much money!"

He grumbled inwardly, but still had to grit his teeth and continue fighting Li Yunjing!

The two sides have already started fighting, and there is no possibility of reconciliation!
If we fail to eliminate Li Yunjing, he will surely be able to investigate our identities and report it to the "Shenxiao Dao Sect," bringing the threat of annihilation upon our clan.

From the moment we accepted the mission, this was a fight to the death!

"Roar……"

Li Yunjing wielded the "Yin Yang Five Elements Heavenly Evolution Sword," deflecting all the impenetrable spells aimed at him. Suddenly, flames appeared on his body!

The next instant, a fire dragon appeared out of thin air and rushed towards the group of Foundation Establishment cultivators who were attacking him from afar.

"what……"

As it passed by, the fire dragon formed by the "Samadhi True Fire" was domineering and ruthless. More than a dozen cultivators nearby were burned to ashes, and even some of their spiritual artifacts turned into liquid and fell to the ground.

As the flames subsided, Li Yunjing emerged from the fire, like a fire god descending upon the world!

During a lull in the fighting, Li Yunjing's gaze swept toward the "Azure Cloud Boat." Fu Chao had already set up a defensive array on the boat, temporarily protecting it, while Li Yunjing continued to exchange blows with the other attackers.

Seeing that Fu Chao was unharmed, Li Yunjing then focused his attention on dealing with the enemies.

"Four Symbols Formation, activate!"

The middle-aged cultivator shouted.

The three Golden Core cultivators from the south, west, and north moved instantly, coordinating with him to condense the forms of the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise!
The moment the four divine beasts appeared, the power of the formation increased several times over.

The four masters originally came from the same family, and their spells were integrated with each other. With the support of the formation, they all improved by a small realm!

Among the four, even the two weakest cultivators at the fifth level of the Golden Core Realm were able to unleash the magical power of the sixth level of the Golden Core Realm.

As for those at the sixth level, they can unleash the power of the seventh level!
The strongest middle-aged man had almost reached the terrifying eighth level of the Golden Core Realm!

The four masters, now even more imposing, and the power of the four divine beasts, pressed towards Li Yunjing.

"Impressive! Truly impressive! This is truly strange! Which family is this? With such power, they dare to be enemies with my 'Divine Firmament Dao Sect'? Aren't they afraid of losing their lineage?"

Li Yunjing felt the pressure of the formation, but he was not afraid at all.

He took a deep breath, and the thunderous power within his body began to circulate wildly. The "Heavenly Thunder Emperor Seal" once again connected with his sea of ​​consciousness. The thunderous power deep within that sea of ​​consciousness was also guided out by the "Heavenly Thunder Emperor Seal" and shot into the sky from the "Creation God's Eye"!
In an instant, a purple thundercloud slowly appeared above Li Yunjing's head, with arcs of electricity flashing within it and faint rumbling sounds emanating from it.

Normally, the power to trigger calamity clouds requires the help of natural thunder and rain.

However, the power of thunder within Li Yunjing's sea of ​​consciousness was far too great.

That boundless power, having been mobilized by Li Yunjing, appeared in the external world through two mediums, thus giving Li Yunjing the ability to create thunderclouds!

"A complete transformation!"

With a roar, Li Yunjing summoned the power of lightning from the thunderclouds, and a thick bolt of purple lightning descended from the sky, striking directly at the strongest "Azure Dragon"!
"Boom!"

Wherever the lightning passed, space distorted, the surrounding air was electrified, and it emitted a pungent smell.

It seems that even space itself is about to be destroyed under the thunder!

This power was almost violent to the extreme!

The four experts and the surrounding cultivators stared in disbelief at what they were seeing!
The purple thunderclouds in the sky are almost indistinguishable from natural thunderclouds!
But today the sky was clear and blue, so how did thunderclouds suddenly appear?

Could it have been Li Yunjing who started it?
But how could a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator like him summon such thunderclouds?

This is practically a lightning tribulation!

In the eyes of the four masters, even a naturally formed thunderstorm is nothing special, right?
Change the celestial phenomena!

Even a single Nascent Soul cultivator would find it difficult to accomplish, right?

"Boom!"

Before the four masters could think, a loud bang was heard, and purple lightning descended from the sky, colliding head-on with the "Azure Dragon". The powerful energy impact directly tore apart the "Four Symbols Formation"!
The four masters around him were shaken and staggered.

Some Foundation Establishment cultivators who were nearby vaporized instantly and disappeared without a trace.

The middle-aged cultivator's face was deathly pale, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth. Clearly, the destruction of the "Azure Dragon" had affected him, and he had also suffered considerable injuries from the thunderous strike.

The attack shattered the Azure Dragon, leaving the Four Symbols Formation incomplete. The White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise, after a few twists in mid-air, completely dissipated.

The formation of the four masters was destroyed. The four of them looked on in horror and stared blankly at the young man who looked like a thunder god descending to earth. For a moment, no one dared to rush forward.

"Excellent! Only an opponent of this caliber can allow me to test the results of my cultivation of the Great Dao of Thunder!"

Li Yunjing smiled, very satisfied with his performance.

He stepped out with his right foot in mid-air, covering a hundred feet in one step, and arrived in front of the young cultivator who appeared to be at the fifth level of the Golden Core Realm.

"not good!"

Upon seeing this, the man was greatly surprised and tried to resist, but it was too late.

"Pfft..."

The Yin-Yang Five Elements Heavenly Evolution Sword had already pierced through his chest. The young Golden Core cultivator was shocked. His primordial spirit, which contained a golden core, flew out of his body and flew towards the other three experts, seeking their protection.

Just as Li Yunjing was about to deliver the finishing blow, the middle-aged Golden Core cultivator suddenly pulled out a black bead from his pocket.

The beads emitted black smoke and gave off an evil aura.

The man tossed the bead toward Li Yunjing, and it instantly shattered, releasing a plume of black smoke that enveloped the entire battlefield in the blink of an eye.

"what……"

The first to suffer was not Li Yunjing, but the cultivator who had escaped with his soul and golden core. As the demonic energy invaded, the golden core dimmed and made a "sizzling" sound. Soon, it slowly melted and disappeared into the demonic energy.

"This is a forbidden artifact of the demonic path!"

Li Yunjing was startled. Surrounded by black demonic energy, he immediately felt a strong corrosive force that not only eroded his magical power but also threatened to tear apart his "Five-Colored Divine Light".

Furthermore, the demonic energy was extremely strange and even attempted to invade Li Yunjing's sea of ​​consciousness.

This demonic energy is not ordinary demonic energy; it contains a trace of true demonic energy and has the meaning of primordial true demon.

Clearly, the demonic artifact in the middle-aged cultivator's hand was of great origin and could not have been created by anyone other than a powerful force.

"This person has long been secretly acquainted with demonic ways!"

Li Yunjing immediately understood the truth!
These powerful families are definitely not honest!
On the surface, they adhere to the rules of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect," but in secret, they have somehow accepted the wooing of some behemoth demonic sect!
This is utterly disloyal!

Previously, Li Yunjing's feelings towards these people stemmed from personal grudges; now, however, it's different, as there's also a difference in their positions!

In any case, Li Yunjing would not allow the demonic forces to extend into the cultivation world of the Ming Dynasty.

At this moment, the demonic energy was so dense that even Li Yunjing's divine sense could hardly see the surrounding situation. He could only rely on his keen perception to determine the enemy's location.

To ensure absolute safety, the Yin-Yang Treasure Mirror appeared above Li Yunjing's head. At the same time, the Five Dragon Wheels emitted a buzzing sound and spun around him continuously. Anyone who wanted to launch a sneak attack would have to get past the Five Dragon Wheels first!
Having unleashed four magical treasures in succession, Li Yunjing felt completely relaxed. He circulated his magic power to strengthen the "Five-Colored Divine Light" to resist the erosion of demonic energy, while remaining vigilant against enemy attacks.

Suddenly, Li Yunjing sensed a sharp sword aura coming from behind him. Before he could turn around to defend himself, a clang rang out. It was the "Five Dragon Wheels" colliding with the opponent's flying sword, sparks flying.

"Nonsense! Instead of running away, you dare to ambush me!"

Li Yunjing looked closely and realized it was a Golden Core cultivator hiding in the demonic energy who had launched a sneak attack while he was off guard. "Five Poison Divine Needles!"

Li Yunjing stretched out his hand, and with a "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh," dozens of eerie lights flashed past. The man didn't even notice, let out a miserable scream, and fell to the ground lifeless!
"Humph!"

After assassinating one person, Li Yunjing snorted coldly, and the "Yin Yang Five Elements Heavenly Evolution Sword" shook in the air, with a loud "boom" resounding once again.

"Bang bang bang!"

As Li Yunjing's voice fell, much of the surrounding demonic energy was dissipated by the lightning.

Just as the remaining two experts were in shock, with a "whoosh", Li Yunjing suddenly disappeared. The next moment, he disappeared into the demonic energy and lightning, using the "Yin Yang Five Elements Heavenly Evolution Sword" to stab at the cultivator at the sixth level of the Golden Core Realm!
In pursuit of a fatal blow, Li Yunjing directly exhausted the lightning power within his body and used the "Lightning Escape Technique" to fly at high speed. The man had no time to react and was struck solidly by a bolt of lightning with a loud "boom"!

"It's over! It's completely over!"

Seeing that all the family's elites were gone, the middle-aged man turned pale, muttered a few words, and suddenly his expression changed. He turned around, burst out of demonic energy, and fled towards the "City of Glory"!

At that moment, he couldn't care less about his family members; he had only one thought in his mind: he had to survive!
As for anything else, he had no time to think about it!
They didn't even dare to think about revenge!
Only by crossing the mountain range and entering other countries can there be any hope of survival!

With his cultivation at the seventh level of the Golden Core Realm, he could thrive anywhere!
"Old Li, that old bastard's running fast! What do we do now? Should we chase after him?"

At this moment, Fu Chao, having slain the remaining enemies, piloted the "Azure Cloud Boat" towards Li Yunjing, shouting loudly.

Fu Chao's voice was filled with frantic excitement!
During the previous battle in the swamp, Fu Chao thought he had witnessed all of Li Yunjing's abilities!

Now he realizes that this is nothing compared to what he's achieved so far.

Li Yunjing summoned purple thunderclouds and unleashed numerous treasures, including thunder escape techniques, five-colored divine light, and a vertical eye on his brow... all sorts of incredible supernatural powers and magical treasures that were simply unimaginable!
Fu Chao's sense of superiority over Li Yunjing, which stemmed from being richer, also vanished.

Even the Fu family's wealth might not be able to surpass Li Yunjing's.

Who knows, this brother of mine, could become the supreme leader of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" in the future, with the potential to dominate the southern heavens?

To become the supreme powerhouse of the continent?
The future Nascent Soul Ancestor?

Thinking about this, Fu Chao's eyes lit up, and he felt a chill run down his spine when he looked at Li Yunjing.

"Is Fu Chao possibly a bit sexually disturbed?"

Upon realizing this, Li Yunjing couldn't help but shudder. He quickly said, "Don't chase them! Quickly clean up the battlefield. Later, we'll go to the 'City of Glory' and mobilize the sect's resources to hunt down this person! Let's see if we can find out their origins from these corpses!"

"Alright! Same old rules! I'll loot the Foundation Establishment cultivators' spoils!"

Fu Chao's eyes lit up. He didn't care about anything else and quickly flew off the "Azure Cloud Boat," tossing the shrunken boat to Li Yunjing.

"You!"

Li Yunjing smiled, disregarding everything else, and quickly flew towards the ground where the three masters' corpses had fallen.

Fifteen minutes later, the battlefield was cleaned up completely.

Li Yunjing even had the energy to use the "earth sinkhole technique" to bury all the corpses.

"Damn it! It's actually the Zhao family from 'Beishu County'!"

At this moment, Fu Chao approached Li Yunjing and began cursing loudly.

"The Zhao family!"

Even Li Yunjing was shocked. "The Zhao family of Beilu County is a powerful family at the Golden Core stage. It is a huge family that is on par with the Fu family and Yu family of Shenxiao Dao Sect!"

"Yes! I never expected their family would dare to hunt us down! This time, they're finished!"

Fu Chao cursed through gritted teeth.

It is important to know that the various families have deep connections. Fu Chao has even visited the Zhao family. Furthermore, there are collateral branches between the two families, who have formed close relationships through intermarriage.

Unexpectedly, the Zhao family is so shameless that they would kill him, a direct descendant of the Fu family, for the sake of Tian Hongzi's benefit!
This shows absolutely no regard for the friendship between the two families!

This feeling of betrayal filled Fu Chao with extreme resentment!
In other words, the "Ten Thousand Mile Communication Talisman" in his possession was unable to transmit the message back to his family. Otherwise, he would have definitely ordered his family to send troops to wipe out the Zhao family!
"The person who escaped could very well be the Zhao family patriarch!"

Finally, Fu Chao added one more sentence.

"It's alright! We'll go to the City of Glory immediately and report to the city lord. He'll definitely have a way to contact the sect. The others in the sect will handle the matter of wiping out the Zhao family!"

Li Yunjing was somewhat calmer, since he had no connection with the Zhao family and didn't experience the pain of being betrayed.

"Alright! Let's hurry to the 'City of Glory'!"

Fu Chao was anxious and urged them on before flying towards the "City of Glory".

Seeing this, Li Yunjing also abandoned the idea of ​​releasing the "Azure Cloud Boat". With a light step, he walked on a golden road, creating lotus flowers with each step, and caught up with Fu Chao.

The two sped along, the golden road beneath their feet leaving a dazzling trail in the void as they headed straight for the "City of Glory".

Three thousand miles is not a long distance for cultivators.

Especially experts of Li Yunjing's caliber!
Soon, the two saw the majestic outline of the "City of Glory" appearing in the distance.

As the former largest stronghold of the Shenxiao Dao Sect in the north, it was also a place where cultivators of the Shenxiao Dao Sect gathered.

Even though the main force of the "City of Glory" was transferred to the "Mountain Crossing" and "Youyue Kingdom", it still maintained its military strength that could deter all directions.

The "City of Glory" is always guarded by experts at the Nascent Soul Realm!
The city lord, "Tianqiong Zhenren," is an extremely famous Nascent Soul Realm expert in the "Shenxiao Dao Sect." He is renowned and has been guarding this city for hundreds of years, with no one daring to act recklessly here.

Under the command of "True Man of the Heavenly Vault," there are also two Nascent Soul Realm Supreme Elders assisting him. It can be said that three Nascent Soul Realm experts from the "Divine Firmament Dao Sect" are gathered here.

As for the deputy city lords and military commanders at the Golden Core realm, there are even more of them.

The rules of the "City of Glory" remain the same; no flights are permitted here.

Li Yunjing and Fu Chao stood at the city gate, looking at the towering walls of the "City of Glory," covered with ancient runes, and were still filled with emotion.

This second visit here was noticeably different from the first.

When I first came here, it was a major military town.

This time, upon arriving at the city gate, Li Yunjing and Fu Chao discovered that the place was bustling with people, both cultivators and mortals, making it extremely prosperous.

It seems that in recent years, the sect has relocated some of its mortals to live here!
This is normal!
Ordinary people are an extremely important resource for a behemoth sect!

Only with such a vast number of mortals can cultivators be born, and there are also some strong mortals who can cultivate martial arts and assist in completing the important task of developing the "Crossing Mountains".

Don't underestimate an ordinary person, no matter how insignificant they may seem.

Millions, even tens of millions of ordinary people work and develop between the "City of Glory" and the "Mountain Crossing," where in the future, this area will become a cluster of towns, where a new country can be established.

As for belonging to the Ming Dynasty?
The higher-ups of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" had never even considered this idea.

It's not that we're afraid the Ming Dynasty is too powerful to control!
Rather, it's because the cold environment in the north is too harsh.

It is impossible for ordinary people to pass through!

These mortals who migrated here were all Golden Core Realm experts from the "Shenxiao Dao Sect." They used their great magical power and the "Shenxiao Warships" to transport them here.

Should we tell them to leave on their own?

No one will survive!
Li Yunjing and Fu Chao encountered many dangers on their journey north, let alone ordinary people.

In the future, a new dynasty will surely be established between the "Mountain Crossing" and the "City of Glory," also under the rule of the "Divine Firmament Dao Sect."

This thriving scene greatly surprised Li Yunjing and Fu Chao, who could hardly believe what they were seeing. Thinking back to the past, the two of them were somewhat dazed.
