Chapter 207 Thunder God, Is That All?! (Updated 45 times out of 2 words)

"it is good!!!"

Donald slammed his hand down on the luxurious mahogany coffee table!

The coffee cups and saucers rattled and clattered!
His fat face instantly erupted with a frenzied, distorted red light of excitement, and he nearly spat on Fang Qingyu's face, his voice booming like thunder.

"As expected of Mr. Fang! To dare to confront a second-tier prodigy while only at the Profound Realm—this spirit and courage are unparalleled in this world! I admire you! I admire you!"

That exaggerated praise went to the extreme.

The fervent expression on his face, as if he were so proud of himself that he wanted to kowtow to Fang Qingyu on the spot, instantly froze the air in the entire luxurious reception room.

Fang Qingyu remained expressionless.

But his lips twitched almost imperceptibly.

Chu Kuanglan and Lu Jiuyuan froze, their toes curling up violently inside their combat boots.

So embarrassed I wanted to dig out a three-bedroom, two-living-room apartment right there and then with my toes from the top-of-the-line carpet of Deep Blue Heavy Industry.

A faint hint of helplessness flickered across Wei Banmeng's usually aloof face as she silently looked away.

"Without further ado."

Fang Qingyu decisively stood up, casually stuffed the file bag containing Wen Tianzong's information into his tactical bag, and cut off Donald's awkward boasting.

"The Thunder Source Essence is forming, and I estimate that quite a few people have already arrived. Let's set off."

"Excellent! Excellent! Mr. Fang is decisive and efficient! I appreciate your approach!"

Donald sprang up from the sofa, nearly yanking his robe sash, and waved at Zhang Hong: "Quick! Proceed according to plan! Fully cooperate with Mr. Fang!"

Deep Blue Heavy Industry's massive machines instantly started operating at high speed.

Surrounded by Zhang Hong and a team of elite, well-equipped Deep Blue guards, Fang Qingyu and his group of five left the top-floor suite and took a private elevator directly to the ground floor of Starfire Fortress.

The heavy alloy gate opened, and a violent storm rushed in instantly.

Deep Blue Heavy Industry had already prepared several off-road vehicles equipped with heavy armor and mine protection devices.

With engines roaring, the convoy moved like a silent torrent of steel.

They burst through the massive gates of Starfire Fortress, rolled across the muddy, scorched wasteland, and braved the increasingly violent wind and rain and the thick, leaden-gray fog, speeding towards the direction from which the aura of the Thunder Source Essence emanated.

inside the car.

Fang Qingyu closed his eyes to rest, his mind racing with information about "Wen Zhong".

The Thunder God, the Heavenly Venerable of Universal Transformation of Thunder in the Nine Heavens, is in charge of the thunder and lightning of heaven and earth, investigates good and evil, and punishes on behalf of heaven.

In the ancient pantheon, he holds a revered position, commanding the twenty-four Heavenly Lords of the Thunder Department who protect the clouds and rain. He is the true source of thunder magic and wields profound authority.

In terms of status, she naturally cannot compare with Gonggong, the ancient god who wields the essence of "water," just like Jiang Wei herself.

But the opponent is a second-tier chosen one!
As the followers of the gods progress, they unlock more and more abilities, and their use of divine power becomes increasingly profound and mysterious.

Especially people like Wen Tianzong, who are followers of Wen Zhong, the righteous god of the Thunder Department.

He has even reached the level of a "candidate chosen one of the gods," and the power of thunder magic he has mastered is by no means ordinary!

This battle.
Fang Qingyu slowly opened his eyes, his gaze filled with a mixture of thunder and fire.

It will definitely be a tough fight!
The group traveled for nearly an hour, bumping and speeding across the rugged, scorched wasteland.

The electric charge in the air grew stronger, a constant, subtle tingling sensation spread through my skin, and my hair stood on end.

In the distance, deep within the thick fog.

A region completely enveloped in a violent purple light could be vaguely seen!
The convoy eventually stopped on a relatively high, charred rock ridge overlooking the view ahead.

When everyone pushed open the car door, braving the almost suffocating wind and rain, they finally saw what lay ahead.

Even the five of them, including Fang Qingyu, who had witnessed the deathly stillness of the Eternal Silent Pool and the fall of the Abyss-level Life Ghosts, suddenly had their pupils contract!

Chu Kuanglan gasped, his voice booming, "Holy crap! Has Thor gone mad?!"

In front.

A ring-shaped basin that is far larger than one can imagine.

In the center of the basin, the sky seemed to have been completely torn apart!
The thick, leaden-gray clouds were completely shattered and dispersed by an indescribable force.

Instead, a terrifying sea of ​​thunderstorm clouds, resembling boiling purple lava, appeared.

The clouds were so thick they seemed almost tangible, and they had a chilling dark purple hue.

Countless thick, pale lightning bolts, as thick as ancient giant pythons, fell madly and erratically from the clouds!
Boom! Boom! Boom—!!!
The deafening thunder roared incessantly, as if millions of giant drums were beating in my ears at the same time!

The earth trembled violently under the relentless and terrifying bombardment.

The ground at the center of the basin has long since turned into a dazzling sea of ​​lava.

The scorching magma was repeatedly blasted up by lightning, creating giant waves tens of meters high.

The air was filled with an extremely strong smell of ozone, sulfur, and the burnt smell of rocks being instantly vaporized!

The violent charges formed substantial purple arcs, like countless swirling snakes, leaping and exploding wildly on the rock walls and in the air at the edge of the basin!

Just by approaching this area, one can feel the blood and energy in one's body being stimulated and made restless by the omnipresent pressure of thunder, and a strong burning and numb sensation is felt on the skin!
This is a true inferno of thunder.

At the center of that boiling purple thunderstorm cloud, a dark purple ball of light, deeper and more condensed, could be faintly seen, beating slowly like a heart!

That is the Thunder Source Core that is taking shape!

The primal fluctuations it emitted were several times stronger than the Dark Origin Essence that they had fought over in the Eternal Silence Pool!
At this moment, on the edge of this thunderous inferno.

All sides have already gathered here!
On a relatively flat patch of scorched rock to the left, the iconic paint scheme of the Brotherhood of Rustfire is prominently displayed.

Dozens of modified warriors, their bodies covered in the skeletons of the Ghost of Fate, stood like silent cyborgs.

The leader, an exceptionally burly man, had grotesque welding scars and flashing red implants covering his exposed neck and arms. He was none other than "Madman" Jin Wei!
He carried a massive alloy axe the size of a door panel, with unstable arcs of electricity leaping across its blade. His gaze was like that of a ferocious beast ready to devour its prey, fixed on the pulsating purple light in the center of the basin.

To the right is an area near a patch of jagged, strangely shaped rocks.

They are the people of the Blackrock Council.

They were few in number, only a dozen or so, but each of them exuded a cold and elusive aura, like venomous snakes merging into the shadows.

The woman at the head, dressed in a tight black leather outfit, with an eerie face and skin so pale it was bloodless, was none other than "Ghost" Cang Ning.

She crossed her arms, toying with two thin, black daggers between her fingers, a faint, cold smile playing on her lips, her gaze sweeping over the other forces with scrutiny and calculation.

Further away, there were several other groups of people, including local forces from other strongholds, as well as members of the Hidden Dragon Project and lone strongmen who had rushed over upon hearing the news.

They either occupied advantageous terrain or stood united in formation, and a tense atmosphere permeated the air.

When the Deep Blue Heavy Industry convoy, especially Fang Qingyu and his group of five surrounded by Zhang Hong and others, appeared.

The atmosphere at the edge of the basin froze instantly!
Countless gazes, like tangible searchlights, instantly focused on them!
Surprise, suspicion, scrutiny, greed, and murderous intent.
A mix of emotions swirled in their eyes!

"Fang Qingyu?! He's here too!"

"Deep Blue Heavy Industry's people? They've teamed up with Fang Qingyu?"

"This is going to be quite a show, with Madman Jinwei, Ghostly Cang Ning, and this fiendish star all joining in."

The whispers were barely audible against the backdrop of the raging thunder, but the tension and apprehension were clearly palpable.

Madman Jinwei's face, covered in implants, twitched slightly, and the muscles in his arm, which was carrying a giant axe, bulged as he let out a muffled groan.

Youhun Cangning licked her lips with amusement, her gaze toward Fang Qingyu carrying a hint of dangerous interest.

Just outside this chaotic focal point, atop the highest, charred boulder on the edge of the basin.

A figure sat cross-legged, as still as a rock.

It was Wen Tianzong.

Dressed in a deep purple outfit with cloud and thunder patterns, which fluttered in the gale, the ancient thunder mace at his waist emitted a low hum, as if echoing the boiling storm clouds in the sky.

He didn't even lift his eyelids at the arrival of Deep Blue Heavy Industry and Fang Qingyu.

It was as if all the noise and strife around him had nothing to do with him.

Wen Tianzong's gaze was fixed firmly on the slowly pulsating dark purple core in the center of that boiling sea of ​​thunder.

That focus and calmness, on the contrary, exuded a kind of oppressive feeling that made people's hearts pound!
"Such a strong fluctuation of source energy!" Wei Banmeng's voice rang in Fang Qingyu's ears, carrying a hint of solemnity and a hidden excitement. "The grade of this thunder source energy is probably far beyond our previous estimates!"

She looked at the Dragon Sparrow Sword at Fang Qingyu's waist.

“Source materials are also divided into different grades. Ordinary source materials are already rare enough to advance the weapon of a god. But if this one is used to temper the Dragon Sparrow, once successful, the Dragon Sparrow's Calamity-Slaying Blade will not only have its grade greatly improved, but it is very likely that a trace of the original characteristics of this thunderous source material will be permanently imprinted on it!”

Wei Banmeng's voice carried a hint of solemnity: "Never underestimate this trace of primal characteristic."

"This means that the Dragon Sparrow Slaying Calamity will truly possess the power of thunder. Just look at the scene before us where the world has changed color to know its power."

Fang Qingyu was shocked upon hearing this.

His gaze toward Long Que Zhan E became even more intense.

He slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, suppressing his turbulent emotions.

The source core was still developing and would take some time to fully take shape.

Fang Qingyu simply found a relatively flat piece of charred rock on the edge of the ridge and sat down cross-legged.

He focused his mind on his body, examining his own condition and making final preparations for the upcoming fierce battle.

His martial arts cultivation is only one step away from the peak of the Profound Realm.

His vital energy was as powerful as a surging river; he was only one step away from becoming a grandmaster—the final push and that crucial moment of natural enlightenment.

The Qi and Blood Method is now complete!
The total amount and quality of Qi and blood have reached the current limit, the efficiency of transportation has increased dramatically, and the vitality is as abundant as a furnace.

The visualization method is complete!
With a spirit and will as solid as diamond, and perception as keen as the eye of heaven! The five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth flow in harmony, and the core of the five elements' rotational force is stable.

[Golden Body: 46]!
The terrifying defense brought by the perfected Annihilation Transformation Body, coupled with the enhancement of other hard skills, makes the physical body stronger than a divine weapon!
An ordinary attack from a Transcendent Realm cultivator would probably struggle to even break through their defenses!

Attack methods.

The lightning flashes and the clouds move in perfect harmony, the mind moves and the body follows, merging with the wind and thunder, the short-range bursts and ghostly turns have reached their peak!

The Nine Prisons Mountain-Crushing Fist technique has reached its peak, with nine layers of force superimposed and transformed, making it fierce, violent, and capable of splitting mountains and shattering rocks!
The trump card.

[Thunderous World-Burning Slash]!
Needless to say, a devastating fusion technique of thunder and fire essence!

[Bloodlust] Secret Technique: A trump card for explosive power in crucial moments!
Its defense is supported by the Golden Body, its speed is supported by the Thunder Strike, and its attack is supported by the Nine Hells Mountain Collapse, which is powerful and clears the way. Moreover, the Thunderous World Burning Slash is the decisive blow!
Furthermore, the true essence of thunder and fire permeates the entire process, providing a terrifying amplification of power to all methods!

Whether it's speed, strength, or defense, it has no weaknesses.

The only weakness might be the level of understanding itself.

But for Fang Qingyu, fighting across borders has long been the norm.

Time ticked by amidst the raging thunder and oppressive waiting. On the edge of the basin, various forces, like lurking beasts, suppressed their anxiety, and the air thickened with the smell of gunpowder.

Within the cyborg ranks of the Rustfire Brotherhood, the blue light of weapons charging flickered erratically in the darkness.

On the Blackrock Council's side, the shadows writhed slightly as if alive, and the assassins' auras became even more elusive and deadly.

Wen Tianzong remained seated as still as a stone, but the humming sound of the Thunder Strike Mace at his waist seemed to have become a little clearer.

In other directions, undercurrents were surging, and countless eyes gleamed with greed in the shadows.

Half an hour later.

At the center of the basin, the dark purple core within the boiling sea of ​​thunder suddenly accelerated its pulsation!
The primal energy it emitted swept out like a tsunami!

The thunder throughout the basin seemed to be summoned by some force, becoming even more violent!
Countless lightning bolts, as if going mad, bombarded the area around the core, as if undergoing a final tempering and condensation!
"It's going to work!" Wei Banmeng shouted in a low voice, his eyes sharp as knives.

Fang Qingyu slowly stood up.

The bones emitted a series of crisp popping sounds.

His aura instantly shifted from dormant to sharp and piercing!
Like a peerless, deadly blade about to be unsheathed!

Donald immediately moved closer to Fang Qingyu, his fat face filled with tension and determination, and said in a low, urgent voice:
"Mr. Fang! It's up to you now! As planned, we will do our best to block interference from other directions for you! You just need to be the first to make contact with the source matter, and then... guard the Dragon Sparrow until it completes its advancement!"

Fang Qingyu listened to Donald's urgent whispers and nodded silently.

His gaze swept past the boiling sea of ​​lightning, locking onto the dark purple core pulsating to its extreme.

The opportunity for the Dragon Sparrow to advance is right before your eyes!

"Hold the Dragon Sparrow's defenses until its advancement is complete!"

Donald's last words were filled with a do-or-die determination. His obese body exuded a sharp aura that was disproportionate to his size, and he suddenly waved his hand!

"Deep Blue! Move!"

boom--! ! !
Several powerful auras of Grandmasters and Chosen Ones erupted from the Deep Blue Heavy Industries' array like long-suppressed volcanoes!

Zhang Hong took the lead, surrounded by a deep blue energy field.

Like a sword drawn from its sheath, it fiercely pounced on the Rustfire Brotherhood, which was stirring on the left!
"Madman Jinwei! I'm your opponent!"

Almost simultaneously, two other deep blue elders, one with frost all over his body and the other with blazing white lightning wrapped around his hands, rushed straight towards the Blackrock Council camp that was writhing in the shadows on the right!
"The ghostly abyss is blocked! This path is impassable!"

"Blackrock Council, retreat!"

Deep Blue Heavy Industry's hidden second-tier power erupted without reservation at this moment.

Like three sturdy dikes, they instantly cut off the torrent of other forces rushing towards the source material!

"Deep Blue Heavy Industry! You're asking for it!"

Madman Jinwei roared furiously, and his giant axe, accompanied by a piercing shriek that tore through the air, slashed fiercely at Zhang Hong!

"Hehehe, interesting!" The figure of the ghostly Cangning blurred instantly in the shadows, dodging the blockade of frost and lightning like a phantom, but its path forward was completely blocked!
The lone warriors from other directions were also tightly entangled by the elite warriors who subsequently emerged from Deep Blue Heavy Industry.

The entire edge of the basin instantly transformed into a fierce vortex of battle!

The shouts of battle, the explosions of colliding energy, the crisp sounds of weapons clashing, and the continuous, terrifying thunder in the sky intertwined, creating a deafening roar!
And right at the heart of this chaos.

A lone figure, however, seemed to cleave through the turbulent waves like a solitary boat, oblivious to the surrounding carnage.

Fang Qingyu made a move!
Step out!
The charred rocks beneath their feet shattered instantly!

He transformed into a streak of purple and white lightning that tore through the wind and rain, charging headlong into the boiling inferno of thunder!

It moved so fast that it left afterimages in its wake!

Almost at the same instant Fang Qingyu started it!

On the highest, charred, giant rock at the edge of the basin.

That figure sitting cross-legged like a stone.

Wen Tianzong also made a move!
But he didn't get up; he just slowly raised his head.

Those eyes, which seemed to contain a pool of thunder from the heavens, instantly locked onto Fang Qingyu, who was rushing towards them!

An invisible, terrifying pressure, seemingly capable of commanding the thunder and lightning of heaven and earth, suddenly descended!

"Stop."

Two words, plain and unassuming, yet like an imperial edict descending from the heavens!
Every syllable was accompanied by a thunderous roar, instantly drowning out all the noise on the battlefield! It clearly reached the ears of everyone at the edge of the basin!

Boom——! ! !
A thick, blindingly white bolt of lightning, like a divine punishment spear, instantly tore through the boiling purple thunderstorm clouds!
With an aura of destruction, it slashed down with perfect precision towards Fang Qingyu's head!

Its speed is so fast that it surpasses the ability of the eyes to capture it!
For a moment, everyone who was engaged in fierce fighting froze in their movements!
Madman Jinwei's giant axe was suspended in mid-air!
The ghostly, gloomy shadows solidified!
Zhang Hong and his men's offensive slowed down!
Countless gazes, filled with shock, fear, and disbelief, instantly focused on the destructive lightning bolt that descended from the sky, and on the tiny yet still charging figure!

Wen Tianzong has made his move!

With a single move, he displayed the majestic divine power of punishing on behalf of Heaven!

This is a warning, but more importantly, it's a crushing defeat!
He wanted to declare ownership of this thunderous source in the most domineering way.

He will use this thunderbolt to shatter the delusions of all those who covet it.

With thunderous force, it arrives in an instant!
The blinding white light engulfed Fang Qingyu's figure.

boom--! ! ! !

The deafening explosion made the entire basin tremble!
The violent shockwave, carrying debris and scorching plasma, swept outwards like a tsunami.

The ground was blasted open, creating a huge crater several meters in diameter, with molten rock flowing along its edges.

Thick smoke and flashes of lightning filled the air!
ended?
This thought flashed through the minds of countless people in an instant.

Madman Jinwei's face contorted with a ferocious glee.

The ghostly figure's gaze narrowed slightly.

Zhang Hong and the others turned deathly pale!

However.
Amidst the billowing smoke and blinding flashes of lightning!
One figure did not fall!

Fang Qingyu was enveloped in a thin layer of dark golden flames that flickered and danced constantly!
Beyond the flames, countless fine purple arcs of electricity, like a swarm of frenzied snakes, were tearing and pounding wildly!

It makes a teeth-grinding "sizzling" sound!

Fang Qingyu's steps never faltered!
It continues its forward momentum!
The speed has just slowed down slightly!

The dark golden flames swayed violently under the bombardment of the raging thunder, as if they might be extinguished at any moment, yet they burned with incredible tenacity!

46 points of Golden Body value, plus the incinerating properties of Crimson Blaze.

They withstood this terrifying blow that was enough to severely injure someone at the initial stage of the second tier!
"what?!"

"They held on?!"

"How is this possible?!"

Gasps of astonishment echoed across the battlefield!

The savage grin on Madman Jinwei's face froze!
For the first time, the playful look in Youhun Cangning's eyes was replaced by shock!

For the first time, Wen Tianzong's usually placid face furrowed his brows slightly.

Fang Qingyu slowly raised his head.

Through the swirling lightning and smoke, their gaze pierced the chaotic battlefield, like two cold blades, precisely stabbing at the purple figure atop the high cliff!

The voice wasn't loud, yet it clearly pierced through the thunder and the battle, carrying a chilling aura and boundless arrogance: "The Thunder God, is that all?!"

The moment the words fell.

Fang Qingyu's figure moved again.

Thunder and Clouds in a Flash: Perfect!

hum!
The air exploded with a deafening roar, as if it could no longer withstand the pressure!

His figure seemed to merge into the omnipresent, raging electric charge, transforming into a bolt of purple-white lightning.

Speed ​​skyrocketed!

Target!

Aiming straight at the core of the Thunder Sea!

It also points directly to the figure on that high rock that stands between the core and itself!
"presumptuous!"

Wen Tianzong finally let out a low shout filled with genuine anger!
For the first time, he stood up from his seated position!
A powerful aura, far more terrifying than before and seemingly capable of stirring up the entire thunderstorm cloud sea, suddenly erupted!

The ancient-looking Thunderstrike Mace at his waist suddenly burst forth with a dazzling purple light!
"Thunder Ancestor's Dharma Image - Suppress!"

Rumble, rumble—! ! !
The boiling purple thunderstorm clouds in the sky seemed to have received a king's summons!
Countless thick lightning bolts instantly changed direction!
Like ten thousand dragons returning to their nest, they frantically converged on Wen Tianzong's head!
The blinding purple light instantly engulfed him!
A gigantic phantom, tens of meters tall and composed of pure destructive lightning, suddenly materialized behind Wen Tianzong!

The phantom was dressed in an ancient Taoist robe with thunder patterns. Its face was blurred but it carried supreme heavenly might. One hand was clenched as if it held the power of heaven and earth's thunder punishment!
It is indeed the Righteous God of Thunder, the Heavenly Venerable Who Responds to the Origin of Thunder and Universal Transformation in the Nine Heavens.

The illusory image of Wen Zhong!
Faxiang's eyes were like two blazing purple suns, instantly locking onto the tiny purple-white lightning bolt below!

A gigantic hand, formed entirely from raging lightning, with the terrifying power to crush mountains and annihilate all laws, tore through the air and slammed down towards Fang Qingyu!
Before the palm strike even arrived, the scorched earth below was already cracking inch by inch, with lava churning!

True divine power!
Coming!

Fang Qingyu's pupils suddenly contracted!
A massive shadow loomed overhead, and the aura of destruction seemed to freeze one's soul.

But its forward momentum did not falter in the slightest!

Deep within his eyes, the dormant true meaning of thunder and fire erupted like an ancient furnace that had been completely ignited!

"Thunderfire True Meaning, activate!"

Om-!
The Dragon Sparrow Blade emitted an excited trembling sound!
Dark golden flames and raging purple arcs of electricity instantly coiled around the blade!
On the blade, the aura of destruction frantically condensed and compressed.

Faced with this thunderous giant hand that seemed to topple the sky.

Fang Qingyu will not back down!

Don't avoid!

Instead, they faced that colossal, world-destroying palm!

He swung his knife fiercely!

"cut!!!"

A torrent of dark golden, destructive lightning and fire!

Go against the current!

Like a roaring, world-destroying dragon, it crashed headlong into the giant thunderous hand that represented divine punishment!
Thunderous World-Burning Slash VS Thunder God's Dharma Image!
