Traversing countless worlds from the primordial era

Chapter 49 Establishing Authority

"Really? I'm really looking forward to it," Lei Ming said.

"Senior Brother Tong, the ceremony is about to begin. Is everything ready?" Tang Xiangsheng hurriedly found Tong Hao. He was in charge of the part on the mountain, while Tong Hao was in charge of the part at the foot of the mountain.

Tong Hao took a few jade slips and said after a while, "People from all sides have arrived, but the demonic path has not yet..."

"The demonic path?" Tang Xiangsheng frowned. "I'll report to the sect leader immediately!"

Just as Tang Xiangsheng reached the mountainside, a beam of black light came from the north. Where the black light passed, dark clouds gathered, pressing down from the sky, making even cultivators at the Core Formation stage and above feel extremely oppressed.

"The demonic forces have arrived," Tang Xiangsheng murmured, a bad feeling rising in his heart.

On Mount Yunyin, Lei Ming and his group also saw the newcomers.

"Golden Sun Demon Fire, it really is Old Monster Wei from the Demon Flame Sect." Marquis Nanlong laughed heartily, sounding somewhat excited.

Although Long Han and Feng Bing did not speak, smiles were visible on their faces, which Han Li noticed.

"Brother Lei, the people from the Demonic Path have ill intentions, and the people from the Heavenly Dao Alliance may not have good intentions either. Should I take action and send them away?" Han Li transmitted his voice to Lei Ming.

"No need. I have no intention of befriending the demonic path. Since they don't know how to restrain themselves, I won't be polite either," Lei Ming replied. He soared into the sky and flew towards the black light, blocking it outside Cloud Hidden Mountain.

"You must be Lei Ming from the Pangu Sect!" The black light disappeared, and a tall, cold-faced middle-aged man appeared. He wore a purple-gold robe, exuding an imposing aura, and there was a familiar feeling about him to Lei Ming.

"Who are you?" Lei Ming asked.

"Wei Tong of the Demon Flame Sect!"

Lei Ming immediately understood that Wei Zhenlong, whom he had killed back then, was this man's son. The father and son looked somewhat alike, which explained why he felt familiar with him.

"Fellow Daoist Wei, are you here today to offer congratulations or to seek revenge?" Lei Ming asked. His feud with the Demon Flame Sect had been unearthed by the Heavenly Dao Alliance and spread throughout Tiannan. It was impossible for the Demonic Path not to know about it.

"So, you admit to killing my only son?" Wei Tong pressed closer.

"If you're referring to the grudges between me and your Demon Flame Sect, then of course I acknowledge them. Wei Zhenlong tried to kill me back then, but he died at my hands. Your Demon Flame Sect sent Core Formation cultivators to hunt me down, but they were also killed by me," Lei Ming said frankly.

Wei Tong roared, "Fine, you've certainly shown some courage and responsibility! The hatred for killing my son cannot go unpunished. Behold my Golden Sun Demon Fire!"

The Golden Sun Demonic Fire is a far more terrifying demonic flame than the Azure Sun Demonic Fire. This fire can not only damage a person's physical body and primordial spirit, but also scorch magical treasures. When Wei Tong, with his mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivation, unleashed it, the demonic fire was overwhelming, leaving no one with any way to avoid it.

As the demonic fire descended, a crimson divine light flashed behind Lei Ming.

Although the demonic fire is powerful, it is still just a spiritual fire. In the past 200 years, Lei Ming's Five Elements Divine Light has grown greatly, and it can sweep away anything below the Immortal Path.

The divine light of fire flashed, and the golden sun demon fire that filled the sky seemed like a drifting cloud, blown away by the wind, leaving not even a trace.

On Mount Yunyin, Long Han and the others watching the battle couldn't help but stand up. Wei Tong was the most promising up-and-coming cultivator in the demonic path, having cultivated from the late Core Formation stage to the mid-Nascent Soul stage in just 200 years. In particular, his Golden Sun Demonic Flame was a formidable opponent, even for powerful cultivators. However, no one expected that the ferocious Golden Sun Demonic Flame would vanish so easily in front of Lei Ming.

"Don't say I didn't give you a chance. Go on, let me see what other tricks you have up your sleeve." Lei Ming stood with his hands behind his back, his face calm and collected, as if he didn't take the other party seriously at all.

Wei Tong was both shocked and furious. He had heard that Lei Ming possessed a strange Five Elements spell, and after experiencing it firsthand, he couldn't help but feel fear.

"Perhaps he just happens to be able to counter my Golden Sun Demon Fire!" Wei Tong thought to himself.

Wei Tong took out a jade ornament from his waist, which instantly transformed into a magical artifact shaped like a wine vessel. Wei Tong's lips moved slightly as he rapidly chanted an incantation. Rolling black energy surged from the artifact, transforming into a black dragon that coiled around Lei Ming.

"Ancient treasure!" Han Li exclaimed upon seeing the magic weapon. Ancient treasures were magic weapons used by ancient cultivators, and their crafting methods were completely different from those of modern magic weapons, but each one possessed immense power. The biggest difference between them and magic weapons was that magic weapons could be absorbed into the body, while ancient treasures could not.

"Not bad, a magic weapon!" Lei Ming's expression changed slightly as he sensed the corrosive power within the black energy. Even now, with his Earthly Fiend Golden Body at the fifth level, his physical body was comparable to a magic weapon, but when he came into contact with the black energy, he still felt a burning pain.

"Even genuine magical artifacts will dissolve in the Netherworld's malevolent energy..." Wei Tong sneered inwardly when he saw Lei Ming not defending himself, and then increased his magical power. Black energy swirled around Lei Ming, and his magical robes were quickly dissolved.

"If this continues, I'll be running around naked." Lei Ming's heart stirred, and he swept his Water Element Divine Light across, instantly eliminating half of Wei Tong's Netherworld Fiend Qi. He then swept his Earth Element Divine Light again, and the Netherworld Fiend Qi completely disappeared.

Before Wei Tong could react, the ancient treasure in his hand was in Lei Ming's hands.

"What kind of magic is this? How could it possibly block my Netherworld Aura?" Wei Tong almost thought he was under an illusion; the scene before him was unbelievable.

"Is the Netherworld Aura very powerful? If you don't have any other means, then stay here." Lei Ming's expression remained unchanged, but in reality, he had already changed into a different robe.

"Do you have the right to make me stay here?" Wei Tong's lips curled into a cruel smile. His magical power surged, and his aura rapidly increased, making it seem as if he was about to fight Lei Ming to the death.

Lei Ming immediately became alert, unleashing a burst of five-colored light. Just as he was preparing to meet Wei Tong's ultimate move, a cloud of blood mist exploded, and Wei Tong had vanished.

"This is Blood Escape!" Lei Ming finally realized that Wei Tong wasn't trying to fight him to the death, but rather to escape.

"The dignified patriarch of the Demon Flame Sect has escaped just like that." Lei Ming couldn't help but smile bitterly, but he wouldn't let Wei Tong get away with it. A five-colored rainbow streaked across the sky as Lei Ming chased after Wei Tong.

On Mount Yunyin, everyone fell silent.

"Old Wei is quite the opportunist," said the Marquis of Nanlong after a long pause, though his expression didn't seem to genuinely despise Wei Tong.

"Wei Tong's rise to prominence in just 200 years is certainly due to his exceptional abilities. Putting aside everything else, his decisiveness alone is something I can't match," said Ma Kui, a member of the Righteous Path Alliance who had the most dealings with the Demonic Path. "Moreover, Wei Tong's strength is not so simple. Even when facing a Grand Cultivator, he can hold his own. Who would have thought he would be defeated by Fellow Daoist Lei like this? It's not that Wei Tong is too weak, but that Fellow Daoist Lei is too strong."

Long Han nodded: "Fellow Daoist Ma is right. The five-colored light behind Fellow Daoist Lei is powerful and strange, making it impossible to see through. If Wei Tong and I were in the same position, I wouldn't dare say we could have done better."

The Fire Dragon Boy was most deeply moved by the Five Elements Divine Light.

"I never imagined that such a spell existed in the world. Fellow Daoist Han, you and Fellow Daoist Lei are most familiar with it, do you know what kind of spell it is?" Fire Dragon Boy asked.

Han Li smiled wryly: "I do know the name of this spell, it's called Five Elements Divine Light. I don't know anything else about it, but according to Brother Lei, he's the only one in this world who can master this spell."

While everyone was still discussing the Five Elements Divine Light, Lei Ming had already captured Wei Tong and returned to Cloud Hidden Mountain. Wei Tong was bound by the Demon-Binding Net, which Lei Ming was carrying.

"At least he didn't get away." Lei Ming threw Wei Tong onto the open ground. Wei Tong's magic was sealed, and he rolled a few times on the ground.

Long Han and the others paled. Defeating Wei Tong was one thing, but capturing him alive was another.

"What does Fellow Daoist Lei intend to do with him?" Long Han asked. "After all, this person is an envoy of the Demonic Path. The Demonic Path is powerful and not to be trifled with."

Lei Ming pondered for a moment and said, "If it were anyone else, I would let them go. But I have a grudge against the Demon Flame Sect, and people of the demonic path are the most vengeful. Even if I let him go, the demonic path will still come. Moreover, I have heard that this person slaughtered hundreds of thousands of people in order to cultivate the Golden Sun Demon Flame, which is truly heinous. Today, I will shatter his nascent soul here and send him to reincarnation."

As soon as Lei Ming finished speaking, the Demon-Binding Net tightened immediately, shattering Wei Tong's body. A three-inch-long nascent soul appeared inside the net. The nascent soul looked exactly like Wei Tong, its small face filled with resentment and malice.

With a flick of his finger, Lei Ming sent a sword aura through the net, shattering Wei Tong's nascent soul. The once-mighty Wei Tong perished on Yunyin Mountain!

"He is powerful and decisive in killing; this person is not to be trifled with." Long Han and Feng Bing exchanged a glance and abandoned their original plan. Nanlong Hou's expression also became more serious, no longer as casual as before.
