Defeating the Eight Immortals, Yellow Dragon True Form

[Ding! Defeated Puxian, acquired Trait: Wood Mastery (Purple)]

[Wood Mastery (Purple): After equipping, speed of cultivating Wood-type sorcery and divine abilities increased fivefold!]

Boom—

Thunder roared as nine bolts of Taiqing Divine Thunder descended from the heavens, striking directly onto Juliusun.

For someone like this who tried to moral blackmail him, Li Yun had no good temper whatsoever, not even willing to waste words on him.

[Ding! Defeated Juling Shen, acquired Trait: Earth Mastery (Purple)]

[Earth Mastery (Purple): After equipping, speed of cultivating Earth-type sorcery and divine abilities increased fivefold!]

"Pah!"

"Trash trait!"

After reading the trait info, a hint of disdain flickered in Li Yun's eyes. He swept a glance at the charred, still-twitching Juliusun on the ground and said flatly, "Next!"

"This~"

Watching the unconscious Juliusun, the remaining Chan disciples all changed expression.

If Li Yun had held back somewhat against Cihang and Puxian before, then facing Juling Shen this time, he showed no mercy at all.

After a brief pause, they vaguely sensed this was likely due to Juliusun's earlier words.

Exchanging glances, the remaining Qingxu and the others dared not speak recklessly. After looking at each other, they stepped out from the crowd: "Junior Brother Li Yun, please enlighten us!"

Boom—

Boom—

For a time, thunder rang out without cease.

One by one, the Chan Golden Immortals were defeated in their bouts with Li Yun.

Though none ended up as wretched as Juliusun, the essence was much the same—all fell under the assault of Taiqing Divine Thunder.

[Ding! Defeated Qingxu, acquired Trait: Spirit Cloud (Purple)]

[Spirit Cloud (Purple): After equipping, can summon a spirit cloud with ten times your own speed for flight.]

[Ding! Defeated Lingbao, acquired Trait: Treasure Seeking (Purple)]

[Treasure Seeking (Purple): After equipping, enhances treasure-seeking talent~]

[Ding! Defeated Manjushri, acquired Trait: Spirit and Soul (Purple)]

[Spirit and Soul (Purple): After equipping, strengthens the Three Souls and Seven Spirits tenfold!]

[...]

And so it went, one Chan Direct Disciple after another fell.

This scene made Duobao, Gui Ling, and the others watching from afar all wear grave expressions.

Especially Guang Chengzi, Yu Ding, Tai Yi, and Huang Long—the four remaining Golden Immortals who had yet to act—their inner unease had reached its peak.

Eight Direct Disciples.

They hadn't even probed where Li Yun's limit lay. They had simply been crushed under the assault of Taiqing Divine Thunder, unable even to approach Li Yun's figure. In terms of Thunder Method mastery and realm, even they had to admit inferiority, and even...

"Elder Brother, your disciple's Taiqing Divine Thunder is truly formidable."

On the high platform, Yuanshi Tianzun spoke with a somewhat complicated expression.

Though he had prepared himself from the start for Li Yun's strength being no simple matter, he never expected his eight Direct Disciples to fail like this.

Utterly without resistance, and defeated so miserably at that.

Although Li Yun cultivated the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique, his strongest point was his physical body.

But now?

Just the cultivator's method of Taiqing Divine Thunder had consecutively defeated his eight disciples. This was simply...

"Second Brother, no need to be like this."

Seeing Yuanshi Tianzun's reaction, how could Laozi not know his brother's thoughts?

To be honest, he too hadn't expected Li Yun's cultivation of Taiqing Divine Thunder to be so outstanding, especially the casual control and mobilization—his Taiqing Divine Thunder realm was nearing Major Accomplishment, and its destructive power was truly at the level of divine abilities.

Conversely, the previously defeated Manjushri, Cihang, and the others, though they also grasped Yuqing Divine Thunder, were at most at the entry stage. Even with higher cultivation, the effect and power of their Yuqing Divine Thunder only fell within the scope of Minor Divine Abilities.

Because of this, in the clash of divine abilities, Li Yun's Taiqing Divine Thunder held absolute advantage and initiative.

Thinking this, Laozi spoke: "All this is a matter of personal fate. The essence of Thunder Methods is similar; naturally, whoever has a higher level of mastery has a greater chance of victory."

Hearing this, Yuanshi Tianzun opened his mouth but did not refute.

As Laozi said, this Taiqing Divine Thunder and Yuqing Divine Thunder were essentially the same thing, with no great difference or gap.

The reason Li Yun could take on eight opponents alone and still win, in the final analysis, came down to the Chan Teachings' Direct Disciples' cultivation being insufficient. Moreover, compared to Cihang and the others, the remaining four—Guang Chengzi, Tai Yi, Yu Ding, and Huanglong—were clearly stronger.

Under these circumstances, Yuanshi Tianzun also suppressed his inner emotions, his gaze fixed on the arena as he thought to himself: "You'd better bring some honor to your master."

"If you all lose completely, where will the face of my Chan Teachings be?"

Li Yun knew nothing of this.

At this moment, after reviewing the eight Traits he had obtained, a flicker of disappointment passed through his eyes.

Aside from Cihang's Trait, which held some value, the rest were complete garbage. In fact, he had no desire to even look at them further.

The only somewhat gratifying thing was that all these Traits were of Purple grade, more than sufficient even as materials.

With this thought, Li Yun's gaze shifted to the remaining four—Guang Chengzi and the others—and he spoke: "Next!"

At these words, the expressions of Guang Chengzi and the other three changed.

After exchanging glances, a sense of gravity and hesitation welled up in each of their hearts.

Overwhelming!

Too overwhelming.

Li Yun's strength had genuinely made them feel wary and on guard.

In a one-on-one situation, even they no longer had any confidence in victory.

Coupled with their earlier promise to Li Yun to fight individually without ganging up, they now found themselves in a dilemma. If they continued to lose in single combat, and the entire Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Teachings were defeated, word spreading would indeed be unpleasant.

"I'll go first~"

At this moment, Huanglong spoke up first.

Stepping into the arena, he clasped his hands in a salute to Li Yun and said: "Junior Brother Li Yun, I will be your opponent next. Forgive my impertinence!"

With that, Huanglong hesitated no longer. His form flickered, and a burst of yellow light flared.

As a dragon's roar resounded through the air, a massive Nine-Clawed Yellow Dragon appeared within the arena. Its scales gleamed under the sunlight, its body twisting like an arrow released from a bowstring as it shot toward Li Yun. Its claws extended, aiming directly for Li Yun's vital points.

"Taiqing Divine Thunder—Go!"

In response, Li Yun did not dodge. Instead, he continued to command the Taiqing Divine Thunder to strike.

Boom—boom—

Boom—boom—

For a time, azure thunderbolts rained down relentlessly upon the Nine-Clawed Yellow Dragon. Though black smoke billowed continuously, they could not inflict significant damage, allowing Huanglong's figure to close in.

With a tearing sound, the dragon claws sliced through the thunder. Huanglong's form was now right before Li Yun, and he said coldly: "Junior Brother Li Yun, you have lost!"

"Huanglong's Claw Strike~"
