A vast, boundless Azure Bamboo Forest stretched out before them. A deafening boom erupted from deep within the forest, and a red light shot into the sky. Countless azure bamboo stalks were uprooted by the powerful shockwave and turned to dust before they even hit the ground.
A red light flew out from deep within the forest at tremendous speed.
Before the red light had gone far, a Golden Halo caught up, swept past it, and slowed it down, revealing a pale-faced red-skirted young woman with a look of terror in her eyes.
"Law of Time! Fellow Daoist, spare my life. We have no enmity between us."
The red-skirted young woman begged for mercy.
A peal of thunder rang out. A massive pillar of Golden Thunder Light descended from the sky and struck the red-skirted young woman, engulfing her figure.
A Nascent Soul Stage bearing a striking resemblance to the red-skirted young woman flew out of her body. The Golden Halo swept over it, and the Nascent Soul Stage froze in midair.
A flash of Golden Thunder Light flared, and Shen Ting appeared out of nowhere. He seized the Nascent Soul Stage and performed a Soul Search on it.
Aside from the Law of Time, he also wielded the Law of Thunder, and his strength was extraordinary.
"The Seven Friends of Tianyun? Hmph, any Tom, Dick, or Harry thinks they can compete with me for Thunder Immortal Lord Tai Lei's inheritance."
Shen Ting snorted coldly. His five fingers closed, and the Nascent Soul Stage collapsed, leaving its owner dead and annihilated.
"The core region! Heaven is on my side!"
Shen Ting muttered to himself, his gaze burning with excitement. He looted the red-skirted young woman's belongings and left.
A Sky-Supporting Peak with steep, precipitous slopes towered into the heavens.
