"Boom, boom, boom!"

The Five Elements Creation Divine Thunder struck mercilessly, creating a hundred-mile thunder domain.

Within the domain, the cultivators all wore expressions of terror.

At this moment, they clearly understood the gap between themselves and Cihang.

"No, you can't do this to us!"

"We are Kunlun disciples, are you trying to become enemies with Kunlun entirely?"

"Hurry and withdraw your divine abilities!"

Cihang remained unmoved, looking expressionlessly at the cultivators below.

Although they called themselves Kunlun disciples, they actually had no connection to the Three Pure Ones.

They were merely rogue cultivators from Kunlun Mountain.

These cultivators lacked foundation, had shallow roots, and their cultivation methods were extremely crude.

It was their honor to be able to test the power of the Five Elements Creation Divine Thunder for him.

Cihang did not pay them much attention, instead focusing on comprehending the changes in the Five Elements Creation Divine Thunder.

This Five Elements Creation Divine Thunder was one of the divine abilities he had deduced.

It was composed of five great divine thunders: Geng Metal, Yi Wood, Gui Water, Bing Fire, and Wu Earth.

Cihang had infused a trace of Creation True Intent, allowing the divine thunder to contain a wisp of life force within its destruction.

This Five Elements Creation Divine Thunder was not only a divine ability but also a method to assist his cultivation in the Golden Immortal realm.

Before the Golden Immortal realm, cultivators mostly accumulated magical power, with no significant differences.

However, upon reaching the Golden Immortal realm, they began to touch upon the profound meanings of laws, integrating the laws' profound meanings into the five energies within their chests to form the Golden Immortal Dao fruit.

Due to individual cultivation differences, the five energies formed also had immense variations.

The Great Dao of Life had too high a concept, and he could not touch its true meaning at this moment, so he also chose the power of the five elements.

He evolved the Five Elements Creation Divine Thunder, nurturing the five energies within his chest with the power of his divine ability. This way, it possessed the power to attack enemies and also the effect of assisting cultivation.

"This Five Elements Creation Divine Thunder is only in its initial stage; the five elements are difficult to balance. It needs further deduction and refinement!"

After observing for a while, Cihang sighed.

If one looked closely, they would find that the Yi Wood and Gui Water divine thunders were far superior to the other three divine thunders.

This was because he himself belonged to the Water and Wood elements, so the Yi Wood and Gui Water lightning techniques naturally possessed the greatest power.

Next, he needed to enhance the other three divine thunders, either by comprehending the profound meanings of laws or by integrating corresponding innate spiritual objects.

Even the Yi Wood and Gui Water divine thunders needed further improvement.

Only when the five elements were balanced could they operate creation and unleash their greatest power.

"Since the flaws in the lightning techniques have been exposed, you are no longer of use!"

Cihang waved his hand, summoning the Jade Divine Seal, and suppressed the already dying cultivators.

"No."

"Fellow Daoist Cihang, we were wrong!"

"Don't!"

"Boom!"

Amidst the curses and pleas of the crowd, the Jade Divine Seal fell with a roar, completely extinguishing their lives.

Cihang felt no emotional fluctuation from this. In the Great Desolation, softness of heart was the most intolerable.

Since they dared to harbor killing intent towards him, they naturally had to pay the corresponding price.

"Are you still not going to show yourself?"

Cihang's head was covered by five-colored thunderclouds, and the Jade Divine Seal obediently rested in his palm, emitting divine light.

"To think I was discovered. Little friend, you are indeed extraordinary!"

A ripple suddenly appeared in the void, and then Randeng appeared not far from Cihang.

"So it's Senior Randeng. Are you also here to teach Cihang a lesson?"

Cihang's heart sank, and the thunderclouds above his head grew even thicker.

The Five Elements Lightning Technique is powerful, but I am not like those trash. Do you think this lightning technique can stop me?

Randeng did not attack directly but looked at Cihang with interest.

"Junior admits he has never offended Senior. Is Senior trying to make things difficult for me?"

If possible, Cihang did not wish to clash with Randeng, as the difference in their realms was too great.

"I am now considered a Kunlun cultivator. By treating Kunlun cultivators this way, are you truly not putting Kunlun in your eyes!"

Randeng's expression remained gentle, but his tone grew colder.

"Senior, you jest. These are merely some unacknowledged rogue cultivators. Why should Senior bother with them? They were simply walking to their own deaths!"

Even facing Randeng, Cihang felt no regret for killing those rogue immortals.

"Alright, they weren't that important. However, I am very curious. Why did you refuse Daoist Yuanshi? Do you have other backing? Don't tell me it's because of dull aptitude, I won't believe that."

Randeng truly couldn't understand why Cihang would give up such an opportunity. After all, Yuanshi had wanted to take him as a true disciple back then. This made Randeng a little envious. He had lowered himself to join Yuanshi's sect. Although he was nominally of the same generation as Yuanshi, he had not actually received the true teachings. His visit this time was not to hold Cihang accountable, but to see what inheritance Cihang possessed.

"There aren't that many reasons. It's simply that our paths diverge!"

Looking at Randeng, Cihang's guard intensified.

"Is that so? Since young friend won't say, then I shall see for myself what backing you have!"

A shadowy giant palm of spiritual energy suddenly reached out towards Cihang. The deathly still, gloomy aura made Cihang's heart sink.

"Five Elements Divine Lightning, descend!"

The Five Elements Creation Divine Thunder instantly struck down, heading towards the giant palm of spiritual energy.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

Although the giant palm was merely formed from spiritual energy, it was still imposing against the divine thunder, shattering wave after wave of it. Divine thunder continued to fall from the thunderclouds. While it didn't destroy the giant palm, it did block its momentum.

"Hmm? This is rather profound!"

Randeng waved his sleeve, and hundreds more sinister giant palms condensed, shifting constantly within the sea of lightning. Although Randeng appeared to have an immortal demeanor, due to his true form, his spiritual energy and divine abilities were chilling and strange. In Cihang's view, Randeng was indeed unsuited for the Jade Pure Dao, and was more suited to the Netherworld Ghost Dao. However, Randeng clearly did not wish to descend into a heretical path, and thus reversed his evil tendencies to embrace righteousness, joining Kunlun.

Thousands of giant palms converged, carving out a gloomy ghost realm within the sea of lightning, as if countless spirits were roaring and wailing within. Randeng's visit was less about punishing Cihang and more about probing Cihang's depths. If Cihang truly had a great opportunity, Randeng would not hold himself back.

Unlike Randeng's effortless demeanor, Cihang was fully circulating the Five Elements Creation Divine Thunder, preventing the sinister giant palms from advancing a single step.

"If this is all you have, then do not blame me for being merciless!"

Seeing that his lightning techniques had no further changes, Randeng unleashed a jade ruler, which instantly appeared above Cihang's head.

"Jade Divine Seal, block!"

Cihang threw out the Jade Divine Seal he had been charging, which transformed into a boundless divine mountain and collided with the Heaven Measuring Ruler.

"Cauldron to fortify the body, Azure Dragon Battle Skill."

Cihang roared, and the Creation Cauldron merged with his physical body, instantly elevating it to the Taiyi realm. He then soared into the air, his palm transforming into an azure dragon, heading towards the Heaven Measuring Ruler together.

"Roar, roar, roar!"

As the Jade Divine Seal was knocked back to its original form, hundreds of azure dragons slammed into the Heaven Measuring Ruler.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Cihang guided his spell, and the Jade Divine Seal continued to smash down towards the Heaven Measuring Ruler.
