Heavenly Punishment

He could not help recalling what he had done in the past.

"Once, I was just as arrogant, but ended up imprisoned here. What backing does this Su Yang have to dare ignore the Heavenly Dao like this?"

Sect Master Tongtian thought to himself, No matter what methods he possesses, such courage alone is rare in this world.

At that moment, a low shout suddenly came from beyond the chaos.

"Disciple Primordial Beginning requests an audience with Master."

As soon as his voice fell, the gates of Zixiao Palace slowly opened. Sect Master Tongtian turned to look, and the person who had arrived was none other than Primordial Lord of Heaven.

Sect Master Tongtian's brows furrowed, and he asked coldly, "Why have you come here?"

"Why are you being so distant, Third Brother?"

Primordial Lord of Heaven smiled as he spoke. "What happened back then was that Third Brother defied Heaven. I merely acted in accordance with Heaven."

"Heh."

Sect Master Tongtian chuckled lightly and did not argue further.

Because he had to admit that what Primordial Lord of Heaven said was indeed true.

At that time, he had truly violated the Heavenly Dao. Otherwise, he would not have been trapped in Zixiao Palace now.

Primordial Lord of Heaven took a deep breath, then respectfully bowed to Hongjun, who sat upright above them.

"Disciple Primordial Beginning pays his respects to Master."

"Why have you come here instead of devoting yourself to comprehending the Dao?" Hongjun looked at Primordial Lord of Heaven with a cold expression, without the slightest emotional fluctuation.

By now, he had long since become one with the Heavenly Dao.

After countless years, Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao were no longer distinguishable.

Hongjun was the Heavenly Dao, but the Heavenly Dao was not equivalent to Hongjun.

Now, he was the incarnation of the Heavenly Dao, and naturally as cold and emotionless as it.

Hearing this, Primordial Lord of Heaven immediately replied, "Junior Sister Nuwa violated Master's rules, entering the Primordial World without permission and proceeding to the Earthly Immortal Realm."

"I feared that Master might not know about this, so I came here especially to report it."

Before Hongjun could say anything, Sect Master Tongtian let out a cold laugh and spoke:

"I thought you had some great insight to share. It turns out you ran to Teacher to complain."

"Back during the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation, did you not harm your own brothers badly enough? And now you want to target Junior Sister Nuwa as well?"

After hearing this, Primordial Lord of Heaven's expression darkened. He glared at Sect Master Tongtian with blade-like eyes and shouted coldly, "Teacher has not spoken yet. How dare you speak first?"

"Enough."

Hongjun slowly closed his eyes and said calmly, "As long as Nuwa does not interfere in matters of the Earthly Immortal Realm, let her be."

At these words, shock and disbelief appeared on Primordial Lord of Heaven's face. He stared blankly at Hongjun.

But Hongjun said nothing more. His eyes remained shut, and he did not spare Primordial Lord of Heaven another glance.

Primordial Lord of Heaven understood that everything he had plotted had ultimately been in vain.

"Sigh..."

After letting out a long sigh, he glared fiercely at Sect Master Tongtian, then turned and left Zixiao Palace, disappearing into the chaos.

After Primordial Lord of Heaven departed, the gates of Zixiao Palace slowly closed once more.

Sect Master Tongtian gazed in the direction of Qingshan City in the Earthly Immortal Realm, his expression thoughtful as he extended his magical power to observe what was happening there.

"What exactly is this boy relying on? How dare he ignore Heavenly Punishment?"

Inside the inn, after hearing Su Yang's account, City God's face was already filled with shock and unease.

He had originally thought that Su Yang was merely a gifted storyteller who could make his tales come alive.

He had never imagined that Su Yang would be so audacious as to speak openly of the Heavenly Dao's prohibition against speech without the slightest hesitation!

Now, he was even ignoring the Lightning Punishment descended by the Heavenly Dao and continuing his narration, as though the thunder were nothing more than a breeze blowing past his ears.

This was an outright provocation of the Heavenly Dao!

City God was terrified. If the Heavenly Dao grew enraged and the thunder intensified, how would this end?

At this thought, he could not help looking up at the sky.

Suddenly, City God's pupils contracted. Just as he had expected, the power of the thunder had grown even stronger!

Seeing this, City God was even more shocked.

Likewise, everyone else in the inn had noticed the increasingly terrifying thunder outside the window.

Yet Su Yang remained calm and continued telling his story, as though nothing had happened.

Smack!

Rumble!!

A deafening boom rang out as thunder exploded, finally making Su Yang raise his head slightly and look toward the sky.

Seeing this, everyone began speaking at once. "Mister Su, you've finally noticed the thunder."

"That's right, Mister Su. Why don't we stop here for today? We don't necessarily have to know about those things."

But Su Yang merely chuckled lightly, his expression composed, as though the thunder were nothing more than ordinary weather and had nothing to do with him.

Everyone stared at him, their faces filled with shock and disbelief.

If an ordinary person saw such terrifying heavenly lightning with their own eyes, and happened to be the target of that Lightning Punishment, they would probably have been scared out of their wits long ago.

Yet Su Yang remained completely calm, without the slightest sign of fear.

Naturally, the others could not understand where he got such confidence.

Even less could they know that this inn was a true place of shelter for Su Yang.

Even if a Saint came in person, they would be unable to cause him the slightest harm, let alone this heavenly lightning.

Rumble!

A bolt of thunder tore through the sky and shot straight toward the inn.

Seeing this scene, everyone in the inn immediately fell into chaos, their eyes filled with terror and disbelief. They were still inside the inn!

Could it be that the Heavenly Dao truly intended to erase them all as well?

"Disperse!"

A low shout rang out. The sound wave swept forth like raging tides, actually shattering the thunder and even dispersing the thunderclouds!

Yet Su Yang remained as calm as ever. His gaze swept over everyone as he continued telling the legends of the Shrouding the Heavens World.

But after what had just happened, who could still calm their minds enough to listen to a story?

What had just happened?

Su Yang had dispelled the Lightning Punishment with nothing more than a shout, even scattering the thunderclouds!

How was that possible?

"Mister Su isn't an ordinary person?"

"Gasp... He shattered heavenly lightning with just one word! Just how powerful is Mister Su?"

"Could he be an immortal or god descended to the mortal world?"

Everyone stared at Su Yang in bewilderment, while at that moment, the points in his system were rising rapidly.

The corners of Su Yang's mouth lifted slightly.

Fear and shock were emotions as well. And these emotions ultimately transformed into streams of points that fell into his control.

"It seems I'll have to tell even more thrilling stories from now on."

He thought to himself. With the inn protecting him, he was invincible here.

Even if his words offended the Heavenly Dao, there was no risk at all.

Everyone looked at Su Yang with growing reverence.

What kind of existence was he? How could he shatter the Heavenly Dao's Lightning Punishment with nothing more than a single sentence?

Could he truly be some immortal or god hiding among mortals?

"The Heart of the Demon Emperor appeared in the world, instantly shattering the Ji Family's four Archaic War Chariots before tearing through the air and departing..."

"And by a twist of fate, the Heart of the Demon Emperor eventually fell into Ye Fan's hands."

Su Yang's voice rang out once more, leading everyone into that magnificent and turbulent world.

The Lightning Punishment from earlier had already dissipated, and everyone gradually calmed down, becoming immersed in the story once again.

What secrets did the Demon Emperor's Tomb conceal?

The Demon Emperor had already perished, so why could the Heart of the Demon Emperor leave on its own?

In an instant, the inn returned to peace, as though the thunderstorm from earlier had never appeared.
