Shulong Daojun

It is said to control thunder, but it is actually yang thunder, which is transformed from the primordial pure yang qi.

The Celestial Enforcer, responsible for punishing evil, is most effective at controlling demons and evil spirits.

Then Zhang Ziling, his hair standing on end in fury, leaped into the air, wielding a beam of pure white lightning, and slashed down at the open tortoise beak.

The thunder of Yang is clear and sharp without being deafening, yet it carries the majestic power and righteous spirit of Heaven.

Its appearance immediately instilled fear and trepidation in the water turtles.

Its tortoise eyes showed fear, its thick neck suddenly retracted, and its entire head instantly disappeared into its shell, leaving only a dark hole.

Immediately afterwards, the lying turtle's body trembled, and its limbs retracted.

Its speed was so fast that Zhang Ziling was taken aback, and his Yang Thunderbolt missed its mark.

Under a clear blue sky, thunder rumbled. The baby turtles hid deep underwater, while the adult turtles scattered in all directions, each in a state of panic.

A short while later, only a huge turtle shell remained motionless by the pool.

Zhang Ziling landed and steadied himself. Seeing this scene, his anger flared even more, and he cursed loudly:

"Ah—this is outrageous! It's infuriating!"

"May the Heavenly Venerable grant you boundless blessings! You wretched creature, who kills and harms living beings, defying the laws of Heaven! Die, you Daoist!"

After saying this, his eyes flashed with anger, and he held a bolt of Yang lightning in each hand, glaring at the water turtle.

Upon seeing this, Lin Shu was both shocked to realize how strong the fire element was in Zhang Ziling's body, and completely enlightened that he had cultivated thunder magic.

Although spiritual essence is the foundation for forming the Dao embryo, it merely borrows the innate Dao nature of heaven and earth's spiritual objects for one's own cultivation and will not be tainted by their own Five Elements nature.

Therefore, the methods and techniques that a person cultivates depend entirely on their individual circumstances and affinity.

As for Lei Fa, I had heard of him before.

First subdue the restlessness, then harmonize the Qi. If the restlessness is not subdued, the thunder will not be genuine.

Yang thunder and yin thunder are nothing more than this.

When Zhang Ziling was forming his Dao embryo, he was influenced by the impetuous nature of the thunder demon. His choice to cultivate thunder magic was a perfect match and in accordance with his Dao.

Wonderful, wonderful.

Thinking of this, Lin Shu felt a surge of joy for his dear friend, and then slowly followed.

As soon as he reached the edge of the pool, he saw Zhang Ziling, who was furious, swinging his Yang Thunder and smashing it down on the tortoise shell.

boom--

The moment the pure lightning touched the target, a soft hissing sound was heard, followed by wisps of blue smoke rising up.

Protected by its demonic power, the water turtle shrank inside its shell and let out a low, muffled groan, clearly in great pain.

Normally, demons value their lives and would flee when faced with danger.

However, the water turtle was suppressed by the force of the thunder and could only curl up and shrink back again and again.

His condition appeared pitiful, but Lin Shu knew that was all; Zhang Ziling had not harmed him at his core.

Turtles are known for their thick skin and flesh, and this is even more true when a demon queen is born.

as predicted.

The water turtle let out two more muffled groans and then fell silent.

Then, as if realizing that Yang Lei couldn't do anything to him, he suddenly became bolder and slowly stretched out his thick neck, which was about a foot long.

In a moment, half of its head was retracted inside the tortoise shell, and the other half was outside. Its eyes narrowed slightly, as if showing a mocking smile. There was no trace of the fear it had shown just now.

Mocking, blatant mockery.

Zhang Ziling's temper flared instantly. He was furious, his eyes wide open, and lightning suddenly flashed on his forehead, as if he were about to open a third eye.

At that moment, the thunder roared violently and became extremely agitated.

The water turtle, provoked, revealed its ferocious nature.

Its pupils narrowed, and it waited for an opportunity before its thick neck shot out, its tortoise beak flying like giant scissors, slicing down on Zhang Ziling at the waist.

"You beast, how dare you!"

Zhang Ziling immediately roared in anger, his forehead crackling with lightning.

In an instant, it transformed into a shower of rain falling from the sky.

In an instant, it filled all four directions, enveloping everything above and below.

Suddenly, the sound could be heard, but the person could not be seen.

"By imperial decree of the Primordial Mystery, may thunder and lightning strike swiftly."

However, Zhang Ziling had already merged with the lightning through his own cultivation of Taoist techniques.

Given this appearance, the water turtle naturally missed its target upon attack.

Immediately, its tortoise eyes widened, and it looked around as if searching.

At that moment, lightning appeared as if the sky were about to collapse, surging from all directions like waves crashing against rocks, roaring and pounding towards the water turtle.

Its power is fierce, swallowing mountains and sweeping up seas.

Its power is so great that it can scorch metal and melt stone.

In less than half a breath, before the lightning had even subsided, the water turtle, though still alive, was charred and crumbling inch by inch.

Zhang Ziling also fell from the void.

His face was pale, but there was a hint of joy in it. He was panting heavily, and his aura was weak, indicating that he had exhausted himself.

Upon catching a glimpse of the water turtle's miserable state, Zhang Ziling was overjoyed and burst into laughter:

"Haha, you...you wretched, you beast—"

But as soon as the laughter subsided, a sudden change occurred.

Then the water turtle suddenly opened its eyes, struggled, and managed to break free from its charred shell, desperately diving into the deep pool.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Ziling's joyful expression froze instantly, then turned into anger.

Lin Shu was somewhat surprised.

This water turtle has five hundred years of cultivation, roughly equivalent to a solidified immortal. It's strange that it survived after taking a Taoist technique from Zhang Ziling.

What's even stranger is that, although it is a turtle, it is an aquatic turtle, unlike the mountain crocodile, which is different in appearance and kind.

Are the two completely unrelated?

The Lin Shu (鳞书) does not believe.

But if it is said that the water turtle was acting on the orders of the mountain crocodile lord to do such things as eating mountains and people, then this monster's audacity is simply too great.

After all, the Kunyuan Dharma Assembly is held every year.

Those who are righteous gods must repay their debts annually.

Lin Shu narrowed his eyes, deep in thought, when suddenly the deep pool changed dramatically, a whirlpool suddenly appeared and swirled up all the aquatic creatures that flew down.

Among them are salamanders and eels, but juvenile turtles are the most numerous.

As soon as the baby turtles landed, they all struggled to climb into the deep pool, as if on command, and swam toward the center of the whirlpool.

Looking in that direction, one is startled to see a ferocious creature several meters long, appearing to be swallowing and chewing, with large amounts of blood and tortoise shell spilling from its mouth.

It was the escaped water turtle that fed on the young turtles to recover.

Compared to its previous miserable state, it now has a newly grown shell, its charred flesh is intact, and its eyes are filled with a fierce light, clearly coming to seek revenge.

This time, however, it seemed to have learned from its mistakes and changed its ways. It actually learned Zhang Ziling's Taoist technique and used its demonic power to control the pool water.

In an instant, the vortex shot into the sky, shaped like a tornado.

The water turtle treads the water, looking down with disdain, its thick neck stretching out.

Its tortoise-like eyes looked at Lin Shu with a hint of greed, then it turned its thick neck toward Zhang Ziling, its expression full of coldness.

Before long, it stirred up waves, and with a kick of its tortoise feet, it caused the pool water to flow back down.

The water surged to the heavens, like a ferocious beast devouring men, rushing straight at Zhang Ziling, intent on taking his life.

It was at this moment.

Lin Shu rushed over and shielded Zhang Ziling behind him.

Immediately, his eyes narrowed slightly, and with a burst of magical power, the divine light of the Mysterious Female shone down from the sky, instantly breaking through the water's force and creating a foothold.

At the same time, the remaining backflowing water also flowed past him.

Divine light clears the way, all evils retreat, and all laws cannot invade.

No matter how fiercely the water poured into the pool, it could not harm Lin Shu in the slightest.

He stood alone, and thus attained the state of being unhindered.

Looking at Lin Shu, who was protecting him, Zhang Ziling felt a warmth in his heart and said softly, "Brother Shu, thank you."

Then, changing the subject, he sighed, "I misjudged you, Daoist."

I never expected this water turtle to be so resilient; it was my oversight just now.

"Brother Shu, please be careful."

Upon hearing this, Lin Shu turned his head and smiled slightly: "It's alright, just rest assured."
