[ Ding! Defeated Puxian, obtained trait: Wood Mastery (Purple) ] [ Wood Mastery (Purple): After equipping it, cultivation speed for wood-element Sorcery and Divine Abilities increases fivefold! ] []
Rumble—
Thunder rumbled as nine bolts of Taiqing Divine Thunder descended from the heavens and struck Juliusun directly.
Li Yun had no patience whatsoever for someone who tried to morally coerce others like this. He could not even be bothered to waste words on him.
[ Ding! Defeated Juling Shen, obtained trait: Earth Mastery (Purple) ] [ Earth Mastery (Purple): After equipping it, cultivation speed for earth-element Sorcery and Divine Abilities increases fivefold! ]
"Pah!"
"Trash trait!"
After reading the trait information, a trace of disdain appeared in Li Yun's eyes. He glanced at Juliusun, whose charred body still twitched on the ground, and said flatly, "Next!"
"Th-this..."
Seeing Juliusun fall unconscious, the remaining Chan Teachings disciples all changed expression.
If Li Yun had still held back somewhat against Cihang and Puxian before, then this time, when facing Juling Shen, he had shown no intention of showing mercy whatsoever.
After pondering briefly, they vaguely sensed that Juliusun's words just now had caused this.
After exchanging glances, Qingxu and the others no longer dared to speak so recklessly. They stepped out from the crowd and said, "Junior Brother Li Yun, please enlighten us!"
Rumble—
Rumble—
For a time, thunder rang out without end.
One Chan Golden Immortal after another was defeated in battle against Li Yun.
Though they were not as miserably battered as Juliusun, their situations were fundamentally no different. Every one of them had been defeated beneath the assault of Taiqing Divine Thunder.
[ Ding! Defeated Qingxu, obtained trait: Spirit Cloud (Purple) ] [ Spirit Cloud (Purple): After equipping it, you can summon a Spirit Cloud that flies at ten times your own speed. ] [ Ding!

Defeated Manjushri, obtained trait: Spirit and Soul (Purple) ] [ Spirit and Soul (Purple): After equipping it, the Three Souls and Seven Spirits can be strengthened tenfold! ] [...]
And so, one Chan Teachings Direct Disciple after another was defeated.
The sight made Duobao, Gui Ling, and the others watching from afar turn grave.
Especially Guang Chengzi, Yu Ding, Tai Yi, and Huang Long. As the only four Golden Immortals who had yet to take action, the unease in their hearts had reached its peak.
Eight Direct Disciples.
They had utterly failed to probe Li Yun's limits. They had simply suffered crushing defeats beneath the assault of Taiqing Divine Thunder. They could not even get close to Li Yun, and even they had to admit inferiority in terms of their mastery and realm in Thunder Methods, perhaps even...
"Senior Brother, your disciple's Taiqing Divine Thunder is truly formidable."
On the platform, Yuanshi Tianzun spoke with a somewhat complicated expression.
Although he had already prepared himself for Li Yun's extraordinary strength, he had never expected his eight Direct Disciples to lose just like that.
They had possessed no ability to resist at all, and their defeats had been utterly miserable.
Although Li Yun cultivated the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique, its greatest strength was supposed to be his physical body.

But now?
Taiqing Divine Thunder, merely a cultivator's method, had consecutively defeated eight of his disciples. This was simply...
"Second Brother, there is no need to take it so seriously."
Seeing Yuanshi Tianzun's reaction, how could Laozi fail to understand what his younger brother was thinking?
To be honest, even he had not expected Li Yun's cultivation of Taiqing Divine Thunder to be so outstanding. In particular, the way Li Yun controlled and summoned it so casually showed that his Taiqing Divine Thunder had nearly reached major mastery, while its destructive power had truly attained the level of a divine ability.
In contrast, although Manjushri, Cihang, and the others who had lost earlier had also mastered Yuqing Divine Thunder, they had only reached the Entry Level at most. Even though their cultivation was somewhat higher, the effects and power of their Yuqing Divine Thunder were only within the scope of Minor Divine Abilities.
Precisely because of this, Li Yun's Taiqing Divine Thunder held absolute superiority and initiative when divine abilities clashed.
Thinking of this, Laozi said, "This is all a matter of personal fortune. Thunder Methods are fundamentally similar in effect. Naturally, whoever has mastered them to a higher level has a greater chance of winning."
Hearing this, Yuanshi Tianzun opened his mouth but did not refute him.
Just as Laozi had said, Taiqing Divine Thunder and Yuqing Divine Thunder were fundamentally the same thing. There was not much difference or disparity between them.
The reason Li Yun had fought one against eight and kept winning was ultimately because the Chan Teachings Direct Disciples had not cultivated enough. Moreover, compared to Cihang and the others, Guang Chengzi, Tai Yi, Yu Ding, and Huang Long were clearly much stronger.
Under such circumstances, Yuanshi Tianzun suppressed the emotions in his heart and looked toward the arena, thinking, You must bring some honor to your master.
If all of you are defeated, where will the Chan Teachings' dignity be?
Li Yun knew nothing of all this.
At this moment, after examining the eight traits he had obtained, disappointment flashed through his eyes.
Aside from Cihang's trait, which still held some value, the rest were utter trash. He had not even felt like continuing to look at them afterward.
The only comforting thing was that these traits were all Purple-grade. Even if used as materials, they would be more than sufficient.
With that thought, Li Yun turned his gaze toward Guang Chengzi and the other three and said, "Next!"
The moment those words fell, the expressions of Guang Chengzi and the others changed.
After exchanging glances, solemnity and hesitation rose in all four of their hearts.
Overwhelming!
Far too overwhelming.
Li Yun's strength had truly made them feel wary and guarded from the bottom of their hearts.
In a one-on-one fight, even they no longer had any confidence in victory.
Moreover, they had previously agreed to fight Li Yun one-on-one and not join forces against him. Now they felt trapped, because if they continued losing in individual battles, and all Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Teachings were defeated, it would indeed sound terrible if word spread.
"I'll go first~"
At that moment, Huang Long spoke first.
After stepping into the arena, he clasped his hands toward Li Yun and said, "Junior Brother Li Yun, I will be your opponent next. Forgive my offense!"
Having said that, Huang Long no longer hesitated. His body flickered as yellow light blazed forth.
Along with a resonant dragon's roar, an enormous Nine-Clawed Yellow Dragon appeared in the arena. Its scales gleamed beneath the sunlight, and its twisting body shot toward Li Yun like an arrow loosed from a bow. Its dragon claw stretched out, aimed directly at Li Yun's vital points.
"Taiqing Divine Thunder—go!"
Li Yun did not dodge. Instead, he continued controlling Taiqing Divine Thunder and launched his attack.
Rumble—
Rumble—
For a time, azure lightning continuously struck the Nine-Clawed Yellow Dragon. Though black smoke rose without cease, it could not inflict much harm, allowing Huang Long to draw close in the blink of an eye.
With a tearing sound, the dragon claw ripped through the lightning. Huang Long had already closed in on Li Yun and said coldly, "Junior Brother Li Yun, you have lost!"
"Yellow Dragon Claw Strike~"
