Traversing countless worlds from the primordial era

Chapter 87 Thunder's Plans: A New World

The Trident of Poseidon lived up to its name, indeed capable of wielding the power of the ocean. When the Trident of Poseidon was swung, the sea surface within a radius of a thousand miles rippled. This commotion startled other sea creatures, many of whom surfaced to observe the battle between the beaver clan and the human race from afar.

Lei Ming originally wanted to exchange a few more blows with Li Jiao. He was a mid-stage True Immortal, while Li Jiao was a late-stage True Immortal, but his magical power was far inferior to Lei Ming's. If it weren't for the Sea God Halberd, Li Jiao would have been no match for Lei Ming at all.

Lei Ming originally wanted to test his combat prowess and the various secret techniques in the "Five Emperors' Divine Demon Scripture," and Li Jiao was a worthy opponent for him. However, upon seeing the arrival of other sea creatures, Lei Ming changed his mind.

"Let's use this opportunity to establish our authority!"

A beam of green light struck the sea, instantly calming the turbulent surface. Li Jiao repeatedly wielded the Sea God's Halberd, unleashing its divine power, but it could not immediately suppress the Water Element Divine Light.

Lei Ming flicked his wrist, and the Demon-Binding Net flew out. The Demon-Binding Net could restrain the demon race, and strictly speaking, the sea race was no different from the demon race. Under the Demon-Binding Net, many sea races revealed their true forms, and even Li Jiao and Li Tong showed expressions of pain.

"receive!"

Lei Ming whispered, and with a swift movement, the Demon-Binding Net captured Li Jiao and Li Tong, along with several other True Immortal Sea Clan members. Upon entering the net, they lost their magical powers and revealed their true forms.

Lei Ming laughed heartily, leaped into the air, and grabbed the Sea God's Halberd. The Sea God's Halberd was a divine artifact worshipped by the Beaver Clan, unwielded by other races. Once grasped by Lei Ming, the halberd struggled incessantly. However, Lei Ming used the Five Elements Divine Light to directly seal it within the Five Elements Space. The Sea God's Halberd was merely an unclaimed, acquired spiritual treasure, utterly unable to withstand the suppression of the Five Elements Space.

"Surround them all! Kill anyone who dares to resist!" Lei Ming gave the order, and a million human cultivators surrounded the nearby sea creatures. The sea creatures were no fewer in number than the humans, but with Li Jiao and the other True Immortal-level sea creatures captured, the strongest remaining were only Celestial Immortals. Faced with the menacing Lei Ming, they dared not resist.

With a flash of light, Li Yue appeared before Lei Ming. His face was ashen as he looked at the dozen or so beavers trapped in the Demon-Binding Net, and his expression shifted several times. He knew these beavers all too well; they were all powerful members of his clan!

"Aren't you surprised to see them?" Lei Ming asked with a smile. "Do you want to kill them?" Lei Ming pointed at Li Jiao and Li Tong, whose eyes showed panic.

Looking at his familiar father and his younger brother who was determined to kill him, Li Yue was lost in thought.

"Fellow Daoist Lei, you have already captured all the True Immortal experts of my Beaver Clan. Do you intend to annihilate the Beaver Clan?" Li Yue said, then shook his head. "You must have other plans, otherwise you wouldn't have spared me."

Lei Ming laughed and said, "I enjoy dealing with intelligent people. What I want is actually very simple. My human race is not as brutal as the demon race. Humans cherish peace and nature and are willing to coexist with other races. We make a living here and hope to establish good relations with the sea race, exchanging goods and resources. However, if anyone thinks we are easy to bully, then we are not afraid."

Lei Ming looked at Li Yue: "Your father wanted to exterminate my human race, making him a great enemy of our race. Out of respect for the sea race, I will spare his life, but I will suppress him for ten thousand years. As for your younger brother, you can deal with him as you see fit."

"Are you going to let me go back?" Li Yue asked in surprise.

"Of course, but it's not like I'll release you unconditionally..."

Lei Ming brought Li Yue back to Yangcheng. Two hours later, Li Yue left with Li Tong and several True Immortal Beaver Clan members. Lei Ming had the human warriors leave behind 10 sea creatures and then released the rest of the sea creatures. These sea creatures followed Li Yue back to the East Sea.

"These sea creatures will be the labor force of my human race from now on. Let them do any hard or tiring work," Lei Ming said, pointing to the remaining 10 sea creatures.

"Lei Zu, why did you let them leave?" Wu Yuan, a peak Earth Immortal cultivator in charge of guarding Yang City, asked. He came from Rainbow City and was one of the most talented humans in Rainbow City, and was highly valued by Lei Ming.

"Letting them go will naturally bring greater benefits," Lei Ming said. "Li Jiao has already been suppressed by me, and Li Tong is destined to die as well. After Li Yue returns, he will become the new king of the Beaver Clan. From now on, the Beaver Clan will be our friends, and through the Beaver Clan, we will have even more friends among the sea races."

Upon hearing this, Wu Yuan fell into deep thought.

"Indeed, wiping out the beaver race would not benefit our human race at all. We still wouldn't get the treasures in the sea, and it would also provoke resentment from other sea creatures." Wu Yuan's mind was very quick.

Lei Ming nodded approvingly.

"But is Li Yue trustworthy?" Wu Yuan was still a little worried.

"Don't worry, as long as he doesn't become a Golden Immortal, he definitely won't dare to play any tricks!" Lei Ming said confidently.

Lei Ming's interaction with Li Yue was certainly not amicable. He placed a Five Elements Restriction on Li Yue's primordial spirit, which could only be opened if Li Yue broke through to the Golden Immortal realm or found another Golden Immortal expert to help him.

A few days later, Li Qiang, representing the Beaver Clan, delivered a large number of treasures, including acquired spiritual roots. It must be said, the East Sea has an abundance of treasures.

"Wu Yuan, I believe that after this incident, no other sea creatures will dare to invade again. I'm leaving Yangcheng to you. I'm preparing to return to Rainbow City for seclusion." Lei Ming suddenly sensed something, and after giving instructions to Wu Yuan, he hurriedly left.

In Rainbow City, Thunder sealed off the cave.

"The Kunlun Mirror has finally captured the aura of the new river of time!" Lei Ming was overjoyed, which meant that he could travel to a new world.

The Five Emperors channeled their magical power into the Kunlun Mirror, and a faint river appeared on the mirror. The end of this river connected to an unfamiliar world, which even Lei Ming could not see clearly.

"I wonder what kind of world is on the other side..."

The Kunlun Mirror flew out of the Five Elements Space and hovered above Lei Ming's head. Lei Ming's magic power continuously poured into the Kunlun Mirror, which grew to a height of ten feet. Lei Ming stood up, stepped into the Kunlun Mirror, and disappeared from the cave. The Kunlun Mirror also vanished without a trace.

A ripple is stirred up in a tributary of the vast river of time.

The Kunlun Mirror, accompanied by thunder, traversed the river of time. Looking out through the light of the Kunlun Mirror, the scenes within the river of time were so rich that even thunder could not encompass them all. The birth and destruction of worlds, the rise and fall of species, darkness, light, war, peace... everything was reflected in the river of time, where the essence of countless worlds converged.

After an unknown amount of time—perhaps billions of years, or perhaps just a moment—Lei Ming regained consciousness. He saw boundless chaotic energy surrounding the Kunlun Mirror, continuously melting its light.

"Oops!"

Lei Ming knew he had entered a new world, and looking at the scene before him, he felt despair.

"Have I stumbled into chaos?"

Chaos is the origin of the world and the end of all heavens. Only those at the Primordial Chaos Realm can enter it. A minor cultivator like Lei Ming, who hasn't even become a Golden Immortal, will inevitably be assimilated by Chaos and turn into a wisp of Chaos Qi once he enters it.

However, Lei Ming quickly realized that this was not chaos. The Five Elements Ancestor's legacy recorded that chaos was far more terrifying than what he was seeing.

Just as Lei Ming was wondering, the Kunlun Mirror led him through a barrier, and Lei Ming immediately felt relieved.

What appeared before Lei Ming were countless small worlds, existing in a chaotic manner, with eleven higher-level worlds at the very center.

"These worlds are not very complete, but they seem to be at the level of a middle-thousand world, which is just right for me," Lei Ming thought happily.

"Little outsider, the laws of time do not exist in this universe. I will temporarily put you away." A gentle voice rang in Lei Ming's ears, and Lei Ming was so frightened that he was scared out of his wits.

"Please have mercy, senior!" Lei Ming pleaded hastily.

"Don't worry, I'm just keeping your treasure. I'll return it to you when you leave." The voice said, and the Kunlun Mirror vanished from Lei Ming's hand. "This universe lacks the laws of metal and wood, but the rules of destruction and life are somewhat beneficial to you. Your body isn't suited for cultivation here, so I've kept it safe for you. Go, little one, I hope you can give me a surprise..."

Before Lei Ming could speak, his primordial spirit separated from his body. His body went to a strange space, while his primordial spirit fell rapidly.

On the continent of Yulan, Beirut was contemplating the awakening of his descendants' bloodlines when he suddenly looked up at the sky.
