I bear witness to immortality in the human world.

Chapter 266 Thunder Talisman and Demon-Subduing Diagram
After realizing the extraordinary nature of the Thunder Domain, Wu Ming pondered for a moment, then concealed his aura and found a place nearby to hide.

In the blink of an eye, nearly half a year has passed.

On the edge of the Thunder Domain, atop a precipice, at the entrance of a newly opened mountain cave, Wu Ming stood with his hands behind his back, facing the distant, cloud-shrouded realm, watching the lightning flashes that occasionally streaked across it, his eyes reflecting the glint of lightning.

"It's starting to weaken."

He carefully sensed the power of lightning permeating the lightning domain, a thoughtful expression on his face.

For the past six months, he has stayed here, continuing to consolidate his cultivation while refining the Divine Firmament Thunder Technique. At the same time, he has tried to comprehend and understand the laws of thunder based on the pervasive thunder power in the Thunder Domain.

Since he was already a grandmaster of Daoist arts at the eighth level of the Primordial Spirit Refinement, his understanding of heaven and earth was even deeper. Therefore, he made considerable progress in comprehending the laws of thunder in just half a year.

"It is indeed a wondrous place. If one can cultivate here for a few more years, it will not be difficult to grasp the basic laws of thunder."

Wu Ming gazed at the distant lightning field, faint arcs of lightning emanating from his fingertips.

Compared to the Law of Thunder, the Law of Slaughter is actually more difficult to comprehend. However, because he possessed the Demon Subduing Diagram, he was able to directly experience the mysteries of the Law of Slaughter in the Demon Subduing Hall, which is why he was able to comprehend the Law of Slaughter in just over a decade.

Without relying on the Demon Subduing Hall, comprehending the Laws of Slaughter would likely take several times longer.

As for the Law of Thunder, if he were to comprehend it at the seventh level of cultivation, it would take him at least ten or twenty years to gain a preliminary understanding and mastery of it. However, now that he is studying and experiencing it at the eighth level of cultivation, the efficiency has been greatly improved. According to his judgment, if he were to cultivate in seclusion here, he would be able to gain a preliminary mastery of the Law of Thunder in six or seven years at most.

but,

As time went by, Wu Ming could feel the power of thunder in the Thunder Domain gradually weakening. After a moment's thought, he restrained his own aura and quietly observed, waiting for the right moment to enter.

After about seven or eight days, the power of lightning in the Thunder Domain had been greatly weakened, and the Grandmasters at the Eight Refinements and Eight Bloods were basically able to withstand it easily.

At that moment, several auras rapidly approached the direction where Wu Ming was located.

"It's finally turned on."

"It is rumored that the Thunder Domain that this realm leads to contains the legacy of the ancient Thunder Emperor, but I don't know if it's true or not."

"Where there are rumors, there's probably some truth to them."

Several figures arrived together, all of them Dao cultivators at the eighth level of the Nascent Soul stage. After a brief stay above the cliff, they joined hands and stepped into the lightning domain, disappearing from sight.

After their figures disappeared into the distant clouds, Wu Ming quietly appeared on the cliff top.

"People from other lands?"

He stared in the direction where the group had disappeared, a thoughtful expression on his face.

Based on his brief observation of those people, they were not native to this world as Eighth Refinement Grandmasters. He knew more or less about the Eighth Refinement Grandmasters of the Great Jin Holy Land, and those people did not fit the description.

In other words, the three grandmasters who just entered were mostly from other powerful states like the Great Yu and the Great Yuan, which dominated their own territories and were comparable to the Great Jin.

Since this world is confirmed to be connected to the world he came from, it is not surprising that the opening of the Thunder Domain will attract many experts from major powers. This is even a good thing, because in the Thunder Domain, he may also meet people from the Great Jin Dynasty. At that time, he only needs to follow them and then they can return to the Great Jin Dynasty together.

After a brief consideration, Wu Ming didn't linger. He immediately blurred into the air and fled into the Thunder Domain.

……

Splat! Splat!

As soon as he entered the Thunder Domain, Wu Ming felt a sharp, stabbing sensation.

Originally, long arcs of lightning would occasionally emerge in the lightning domain. As his physical body stepped into it, wherever he went, he directly drew up one dazzling bolt of lightning after another in the clouds and mist. These bolts of lightning were like needles, piercing into his flesh and bringing waves of stinging pain as if pierced by thousands of needles.

Although his physical body was not weak, and he was a Grandmaster, he had not yet reached the Eighth Blood level. Even though the power of lightning in the Thunder Domain had been greatly weakened, he still could not resist it very easily.

However, Wu Ming remained unfazed. With a mere thought, his primordial spirit and soul power gently rippled outwards, enveloping his entire body. The spreading lightning was instantly blocked by his primordial spirit.

These lightning forces, which caused obvious damage to his physical body, had no effect on his primordial spirit. Even though his primordial spirit was only at the initial stage of the eighth refinement, it was still a truly tempered soul. In addition, he had cultivated the Divine Firmament Thunder Technique, which gave him a natural resistance to lightning forces.

Splat, splat,
After Wu Ming used his primordial spirit to envelop his physical body and isolate himself from the outside world, the lightning that filled the clouds and mist faded a bit. He continued to move forward for a while and then looked around.

"It is indeed a strange place, which can suppress my primordial spirit perception to such a extent."

Wu Ming's eyes flickered slightly.

After entering the eighth level of refinement, his primordial spirit was incredibly powerful, with a perception range that could reach almost tens of miles. However, after entering this thunder domain, the range of his primordial spirit's perception was suppressed by the power of thunder and forcibly limited to within a few hundred feet.

However, Wu Ming was not worried about this. If his primordial spirit perception was so restricted, the restrictions on others must be no less. With limited perception, they could just be more careful when exploring.

With his current strength, he can be considered invincible among the Eight Refinements, and he remains completely calm and composed even when the world is limited.

Swish.

At that moment, Wu Ming had a thought, and the Demon-Subduing Diagram located at the core of his primordial spirit suddenly moved slightly. Then, his physical body disappeared from the outside world and was thrown into the Demon-Subduing Realm.

After entering the eighth stage of the Primordial Spirit Refinement, his mastery of the Demon Subduing Diagram was further enhanced. He could easily absorb his physical body into it, and his Seven Blood Body, which had already reached the Grandmaster level, could withstand the erosion of the evil energy in the Demon Subduing Diagram.

After retracting his physical body, Wu Ming's manifested primordial spirit had no weaknesses. With a flicker, his entire primordial spirit condensed into a ball and vanished in the lightning, heading towards the depths of the lightning domain.

Even if a primordial spirit at the eighth level of refinement is separated from the physical body, it can exist in the world for a long time. Especially when Wu Ming has mastered the Word "Zhe" technique, the lost soul power can be restored with a single thought by simply circulating the Word "Zhe" technique. Even if he completely abandons the physical body, it will not have much of an impact on him.

that's it,
Wu Ming pressed onward. After venturing countless miles into the Thunder Domain, he finally encountered the first wave of attacks.

Zizzi! !
It was a golden bolt of lightning located in the clouds and mist. This lightning constantly burst out with arcs of lightning, which looked like a bolt of lightning, but for some reason, it also contained a life force within it.

As Wu Ming approached, the golden lightning seemed to come alive, suddenly bursting forth with a dense array of golden lightning that instantly tore through the clouds and rushed straight towards Wu Ming.

"Ok?"

Despite being suddenly attacked, Wu Ming remained calm. With a mere thought, a beam of crimson light burst forth from his primordial spirit, and a high-grade killing flying sword shot out, slashing towards the dense lightning in front of him.

Golden lightning spread, its power considerable, almost reaching the threshold of the eighth level of cultivation. It posed a great threat to a Grandmaster with the seventh level of cultivation and the seventh level of blood, but under the blood-red flying sword controlled by Wu Ming, it was as fragile as paper and was torn apart in an instant.

Swish!
The blood-red light tore through the lightning, striking straight at it and piercing through the very body of the golden lightning.

"Zi..."

In the dim light, Wu Ming seemed to hear the golden lightning emit a scream, and then the life force within it suddenly collapsed and shattered, along with the entire beam of lightning, which crumbled inch by inch.

Seeing the golden lightning shatter, Wu Ming immediately flew over, a thoughtful expression on his face.

"Can pure lightning give birth to life? The world is truly wondrous."

This kind of lightning life form may not seem very strong, and its moves are only barely at the threshold of the eighth level of cultivation. However, it is actually quite extraordinary. In particular, its body has no substance, and ordinary moves are even difficult to damage its core. Even a grandmaster at the normal eighth level of cultivation would find it very troublesome to encounter this kind of lightning life form.

Wu Ming was able to kill him with a single blow because he had mastered the laws of killing and wielded a high-grade spiritual treasure-level flying sword.

"Ok?"

"What's this."

After annihilating the lightning life form, Wu Ming was about to leave when his eyes suddenly flashed as he looked at the spot where the golden lightning had been destroyed.

After the lightning life was destroyed, a golden lightning talisman was left in its original place. This talisman absorbed the lightning power in the nearby clouds and quickly condensed into a solid form, floating quietly.

Wu Ming observed carefully and found that the thunder talisman was completely inconsistent with the Divine Firmament Thunder Technique he cultivated.

After a moment's thought, Wu Ming raised his hand and pretended to take it, and the golden thunder talisman quietly landed in his palm.

"interesting."

After studying it carefully for a while, Wu Ming couldn't find any clues, and a strange look appeared on his face.

This thunder talisman is completely different from the Divine Firmament Thunder Technique. Although it contains a strong thunderous power, it is extremely gentle. Its purpose is unknown. Even when Wu Ming uses the Divine Firmament Thunder Technique, he cannot draw it out.

After several unsuccessful attempts, Wu Ming made one last attempt to try and put the Thunder Talisman into the Demon Subduing Realm.

As a result, the golden thunder talisman, which had been completely still and at his mercy, suddenly began to vibrate violently, directly resisting the absorption of the undulating magic diagram.

However, the Demon-Subduing Diagram was no ordinary object. After its attempt to subdue the demon was met with resistance, it immediately trembled violently, and an indescribable pressure emanated from it, crashing down on the lightning talisman.

*Splat! Splat!*

The golden lightning talisman struggled frantically, unleashing a dazzling and terrifying burst of lightning that tore through the clouds for thousands of feet, unleashing an awe-inspiring and supreme power.

Wu Ming, who was closest to the source, was most affected. Even though he was isolated at the back by the power of the Demon Subduing Diagram, he still felt a terrifying sense of oppression in the earth-shattering power of the thunder. He even felt suffocated and almost knelt down.

"what happened……"

He had only tried to use the Demon-Subduing Diagram to collect the golden thunder talisman, but he never expected it to cause such a huge commotion. Even Wu Ming himself was confused and extremely shocked.

Especially at this moment, the commotion he has caused is completely out of control. Neither the golden thunder talisman nor the demon-subduing diagram he wields are under his control. The power of both is increasing step by step, and the terrifying pressure is becoming more and more intense!
Wu Ming had already seen that the golden thunder talisman, which seemed ordinary, was actually intricately connected to the entire thunder domain, though he hadn't noticed it before.

At this moment, stimulated by the Demon Subduing Diagram, the Thunder Talisman suddenly erupted. It was just a trigger; what truly collided with the power of the Demon Subduing Diagram was the entire vast Thunder Domain!
hum! ! !
Thunder and slaughter, the two auras rose higher and higher.

The black emperor phantom on the Demon Subduing Diagram seemed to gradually come to life, enveloped by endless malevolent energy, reaching to the heavens and the earth.

In the dim light, Wu Ming saw a figure that seemed to reach the heavens and the earth within the golden lightning, equally majestic and supreme, no less impressive than the Black Emperor's phantom.

"Could this be... the Thunder Emperor...?"

Even Wu Ming, a dignified Grandmaster of the Eight Refinements, was somewhat unable to move under the two terrifying pressures, and even his thoughts became sluggish. At the same time, he also thought of the words of the several Grandmasters of Daoist arts he had encountered before.

It is said that this Thunder Domain is an extraordinary secret realm, and there may be the inheritance of the 'Ancient Thunder Emperor' in it. Could it be that the figure that emerged from the golden lightning is the legendary Ancient Thunder Emperor?
Thunder Emperor, Black Emperor...

Are these two ancient beings of the same level?
Wu Ming roughly understood the current situation. It was probably because the golden thunder talisman contained some secrets of the thunder domain, and with his level of cultivation, whether he comprehended it or studied it, it would have no effect on him.

But when he tried to use the Demon-Subduing Diagram to collect it, the situation changed. It was as if he was using the power of the Demon-Subduing Diagram to forcibly seize and sever the connection between the Thunder Talisman and the Thunder Domain!
Rumble.

In Wu Ming's perception, there seemed to be two imposing figures, one black and one gold, facing each other across the void. The two auras were terrifying and boundless, as if they would crush him if they were to emanate even a little bit.

At the same time, not only in this vicinity, but throughout this vast thunder domain spanning tens of thousands of miles, the thunder, which was originally tranquil, began to violently surge, spreading from the clouds and mist and becoming frenzied.

In the clouds and mist,
Countless grandmasters from various great powers paused in their movements, looking around in shock, wondering why the Thunder Domain had suddenly erupted into such a riot.

Some of the weaker Grandmasters even encountered great trouble, having to exert all their strength to resist the ever-surging power of the lightning amidst the frenzied surge of thunder.

　I caught a cold and have a fever, so I really can't write. I felt a bit better today and wrote one chapter. The weather is getting colder, so please keep warm.
