Heavenly Thunder God Punishing Array Appears, Escaping

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The jade seal soared into the sky, and azure dragons roared across the heavens. Cihang had poured nearly all his strength into it, barely managing to block one strike from the Heaven Measuring Ruler.

"Not bad. You actually managed to block one-tenth of my power. Even a Taiyi Golden Immortal might not be able to do that.

A Taiyi in physical body alone, is that your reliance?

But forcing your cultivation like this must come with quite a price, right!"

Randeng retracted the Heaven Measuring Ruler, appraising Cihang with great interest.

The seemingly powerful attack from before had only utilized one or two-tenths of Randeng's true strength.

"Cihang knows he is no match for Senior. What guidance does Senior have? Please speak directly," Cihang said.

The divine seal hovered above Cihang's head, with azure dragons roaring and snarling around him. Even if his opponent was a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, Cihang would not surrender without a fight.

He truly couldn't defeat Randeng, but he wasn't without means of self-preservation.

His destiny was currently flourishing, and despite this perilous trial, there was still a chance for survival.

"To possess such strength as a Golden Immortal clearly means you have encountered significant opportunities. May I inquire if I could have a look?"

Randeng no longer concealed his intentions. Although Cihang's combat power was not weak, the gap in their realms was too vast.

Randeng was never concerned with Kunlun's reputation; it was Cihang's hidden opportunities that interested him.

Cihang, who dared to refuse Yuanshi and possessed such combat prowess, could be expected to have considerable opportunities.

"Cihang has no great opportunities. I merely obtained some body-refining techniques from the Witch Race.

If Senior requires them, I can give them directly to Senior!"

Cihang's heart sank. Randeng was indeed here for his opportunities.

It was precisely because he had anticipated this that Cihang hadn't used an Innate Spiritual Treasure to fight, but instead used the Creation Cauldron to suppress himself.

The difference between a Golden Immortal and a Grand Unity was too immense; it was a gap that even an Innate Spiritual Treasure couldn't bridge.

Furthermore, while he possessed a Spiritual Treasure, Randeng wasn't without one either.

Cihang took out the bone jade inscribed with the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique, hoping to dispel Randeng's suspicions.

"Hmph, a body-refining inheritance from the Witch Race? Do you really think I'm that easy to fool?

The Witch Race cultivates bloodline power, their inheritances are useless to us.

I advise you not to harbor any other thoughts, or don't blame me for being impolite!"

Randeng's expression instantly turned grim.

"There's nothing I can do if Senior doesn't believe me."

Cihang retracted the bone jade, and a protective divine light simultaneously rose before him.

"Since you are unwilling to hand it over, I will take it myself.

And I will show you the true power of a Grand Unity!"

Randeng's Grand Unity aura was instantly revealed in its entirety, the chilling killing intent forcing Cihang to retreat continuously.

"Five Elements Creation Divine Thunder, descend!"

Cihang shouted simultaneously. Thunderclouds enveloped him, and he used the extremely potent and yang energy of the divine thunder to resist the Grand Unity's pressure.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

As the pressure around him dissipated, Cihang directed the divine thunder towards Randeng.

At the same time, hundreds of azure dragons surged towards Randeng.

"Overestimating yourself!"

Randeng pointed at the Heaven Measuring Ruler, which instantly split into thousands, emitting divine light all over the sky.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

Before the azure dragons and divine thunder could even collide with the Heaven Measuring Ruler, they were annihilated under the myriad rays of divine light.

Cihang's expression instantly turned grim.

The Heaven Measuring Ruler continued its assault without pause, whistling through the air directly towards Cihang.

The immense power forced the thunderclouds to shrink continuously, emitting explosive sounds.

"Starlight Divine Water, emerge."

Cihang made a hand seal, and the purple Starlight Divine Water, like a sea of stars, surged towards the myriad shadows of the ruler.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

The Heaven Measuring Ruler, which had been immensely powerful moments before, was completely annihilated within the Starlight Divine Water.

"Starlight Divine Water?"

Randeng's expression changed, and he instantly retracted the Heaven Measuring Ruler.

Although it was only a brief contact, the spiritual light on the Heaven Measuring Ruler had dimmed considerably.

The Starlight Divine Water wasn't attacking the Heaven Measuring Ruler itself, but rather the true spirit imprint Randeng had branded onto it.

This single strike alone had nullified thousands of years of Randeng's refinement efforts.

For Randeng to unleash its full power again, he would have to re-refine it.

"I truly underestimated you. I didn't expect you to have such a fortunate encounter. But how many of these divine objects can you possibly have!"

Knowing the power of the Starlight Divine Water, Randeng no longer let the Heaven Measuring Ruler slip from his grasp. Instead, he wielded it, unleashing thousands of sword energies to attack.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Under Cihang's control, the river of stars became even more dazzling, obliterating wave after wave of sword energy.

Cihang didn't answer, but his actions proved that his divine water was practically inexhaustible.

"Spirit Coffin Lamp, ignite!"

An ancient lamp appeared above Randeng's head, scattering endless Netherworld Divine Fire and creating a sea of flames.

Seeing that the sword energy was ineffective, Randeng also brought out his Companion Spiritual Treasure.

The sea of Netherworld Fire instantly arrived, appearing to belong to a different realm from the river of stars formed by the Starlight Divine Water. Fire and water, incompatible, clashed fiercely.

The Netherworld Divine Fire and the Starlight Divine Water were of similar grade, and neither held a decisive advantage. Instead, they continuously dissolved each other.

"I'd like to see how long you can last!"

In the center of the sea of Netherworld Fire, Randeng calmly watched Cihang.

The stronger Cihang's power, the greater the fortune he possessed.

Not to mention anything else, this Starlight Divine Water alone was a rare treasure.

At this moment, Cihang had no energy to speak.

Although he appeared to be evenly matched with Randeng, in reality, he was already giving it his all.

This was only possible with the boost from the Creation Cauldron, which allowed the Three Lights Divine Water to continuously replenish his magical power.

Meanwhile, Randeng had been holding back, not even unleashing half of his true strength.

I can't keep this up any longer. The longer this goes on, the more disadvantageous it will be for me!

Cihang's thoughts shifted, and he once again activated the Five Elements Creation Divine Thunder. The thunderclouds gathered again, unleashing myriad divine thunders that struck down at Randeng.

At the same time, Cihang formed hand seals, channeling subtle spiritual light into the divine thunders, which descended upon Randeng along with the Five Elements Divine Thunder.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

However, as soon as the divine thunders entered the sea of flames, they were completely swallowed by the endless Netherworld Divine Fire.

"It's just a futile effort!"

Randeng looked at Cihang with disdain.

Cihang, on the other hand, remained unfazed, continuously directing the divine thunders into the sea of flames, even though they couldn't harm Randeng in the slightest.

"It seems this is your limit. Then, die!"

Seeing that Cihang had no other means, Randeng's patience finally ran out.

No matter what fortunate encounters Cihang possessed, if he perished, they would all belong to Randeng.

Looking at the constantly depleting Starlight Divine Water, Randeng couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache.

"Explode!"

Just then, Cihang suddenly let out a fierce shout.

The next second, hundreds of light spots rose from the sea of flames, revealing spiritual treasures of various shapes and sizes.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Hundreds of spiritual treasures self-destructed simultaneously, stirring up monstrous waves within the sea of flames.

"Ah! Self-destructing spiritual treasures! Cihang, you're dead!"

He never would have imagined that Cihang would have so many spiritual treasures, and that he would be willing to let them self-destruct.

Randeng roared in anger from within the sea of flames.

"Heavenly Thunder God Punishing Array, rise!"

Cihang's long-prepared hand seals finally concluded. Thousands of spiritual treasures rose again from the edge of the sea of flames.

This time, the spiritual treasures did not self-destruct but formed a mystical formation, trapping Randeng and the sea of flames within it.

"Ten thousand thunders descend, punish immortals and destroy gods!"

Cihang shouted again, activating the formation. Ten thousand divine thunders roared down.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

"Ah! Damn it! Do you think this can harm me?"

"You underestimate the power of a Grand Unity!"

"Cihang, the moment I break this formation will be your death anniversary!"

"Today, I will surely scatter your soul to the winds!"

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Randeng's furious roars and the sounds of impacts against the great formation continued to echo from within.

However, Cihang was completely unaware. The instant the formation was activated, he had already transformed into a beam of light and fled.
