Indestructible Thunder God Body

The moment the voice rang out, Lu Changsheng formed a seal.

Every Jie Sect Disciple present, including Sanxiao and Zhao Gongming, fixed their eyes on Lu Changsheng.

The Body Tempering Divine Ability that could withstand attacks from a Golden Immortal Peak had already been astonishing enough.

What other means did Lu Changsheng have?

Perhaps Lu Changsheng really could win?

Even Dingguang Xian's expression had turned somewhat grave.

Streams of magical power gathered around him as he prepared to use defensive techniques.

But the next moment, Dingguang Xian's expression froze, and the magical power gathering around him came to a halt.

He stared at the seal Lu Changsheng had formed, suspicion and surprise growing in his eyes.

Could this be...

"Shangqing Divine Thunder?!"

Dingguang Xian cried out.

At first, he hadn't been entirely sure, but the more he looked at the seal Lu Changsheng had formed, the more familiar it seemed.

Wasn't this Shangqing Divine Thunder?

Dingguang Xian couldn't help laughing.

"I thought you had some special trick. Turns out it's just Shangqing Divine Thunder."

He had only himself to blame for overestimating Lu Changsheng.

What tricks could an Outer Disciple of the Jie Sect have, when he had still been an Earth Immortal just two hundred years ago?

At that moment, Dingguang Xian watched Lu Changsheng use Shangqing Divine Thunder as if he were watching a joke.

"Come on, let me teach you what Shangqing Divine Thunder really is!"

Dingguang Xian grew serious and formed a seal.

A blast of Shangqing Divine Thunder, far more powerful than the previous one, shot toward Lu Changsheng.

The result was predictable. Even if Dingguang Xian exhausted all his magical power, he still couldn't shake the defenses of the Indestructible Thunder God Body.

"Stop embarrassing yourself. You call that Shangqing Divine Thunder?"

As Lu Changsheng spoke, the thunder seal in his palm was already complete.

In an instant, dark clouds shrouded the entire sky above Golden Ao Island.

Dingguang Xian instinctively looked up, his face stiffening.

This... was Shangqing Divine Thunder?

There was no time to think. Fear surged over him like a tide, swallowing him whole.

At that moment, every hair on Dingguang Xian's body stood on end, and he trembled uncontrollably.

He didn't know if this really was Shangqing Divine Thunder, but he could feel the threat.

Dingguang Xian reacted quickly, casting defensive techniques as fast as he could.

Layer upon layer of golden light shielded him.

Just as the final layer of golden light appeared, a blinding streak of lightning flashed through the dark clouds.

Boom!

A deafening rumble exploded above Golden Ao Island.

A bolt of pitch-black lightning shot straight toward Dingguang Xian.

Beneath that bolt, the defenses Dingguang Xian had set up were like paper.

It couldn't be stopped?!

By the time Dingguang Xian realized this, he had no chance to dodge. He could only raise both arms instinctively to block it.

The Shangqing Divine Thunder shattered several layers of defense and struck Dingguang Xian directly.

He plunged from the sky and crashed onto Golden Ao Island.

For a moment, Golden Ao Island fell silent.

Countless stunned gazes turned toward Lu Changsheng.

"Am I seeing things? Why does Lu Changsheng's Shangqing Divine Thunder seem stronger than mine?"

Bixiao stared in disbelief.

"Not only is it stronger than yours, even I have to admit I'm inferior."

Qiongxiao was equally astonished.

"His Shangqing Divine Thunder must have reached the Perfection Realm."

Zhao Gongming spoke up.

"Perfection?"

"Brother, are you sure?"

Bixiao looked at Zhao Gongming skeptically.

Shangqing Divine Thunder wasn't considered a particularly profound divine ability in the Jie Sect. Anyone who reached the True Immortal Realm could learn it.

But among the Jie Sect Disciples, no one had managed to cultivate Shangqing Divine Thunder to the Perfection Realm.

"Among our fellow disciples, Duobao Senior Brother has the deepest mastery of Shangqing Divine Thunder."

"But even his Shangqing Divine Thunder doesn't compare to Lu Changsheng's."

As Zhao Gongming spoke, he looked toward Yunxiao.

"Are you sure you only taught Lu Changsheng Shangqing Divine Thunder a hundred years ago?"

Yunxiao nodded, still finding it hard to believe.

"I'm sure."

"Lu Changsheng only reached the True Immortal Realm a hundred years ago."

Even now, she could hardly calm herself.

In other words, Lu Changsheng had needed less than a hundred years to cultivate Shangqing Divine Thunder to the Perfection Realm.

"Looks like our Jie Sect is about to produce an extraordinary figure."

Zhao Gongming smiled.

"By the way, how is Dingguang Xian?"

Bixiao's question drew everyone's attention away from Lu Changsheng and toward Dingguang Xian.

When the lightning dissipated and everyone saw the state Dingguang Xian was in, they couldn't help sucking in a breath.

Dingguang Xian lay in a crater, his Taoist robe in tatters and patches of charred flesh split open across his body.

His arms were especially gruesome. The flesh had been completely burned away, exposing stark white bone.

Dingguang Xian was dazed, his consciousness hazy.

The voices of those discussing him drifted into his ears.

"How is Lu Changsheng's Shangqing Divine Thunder so powerful? Even a Golden Immortal Peak couldn't withstand it!"

"I don't think it's that Lu Changsheng is so powerful. Dingguang Xian is just too weak."

"To the fellow disciple who says Dingguang Xian is weak—why don't you try fighting him yourself?"

"Whether Lu Changsheng is too strong or Dingguang Xian is too weak, it looks like Dingguang Xian lost this fight."

"So much for being one of the Suishi Qixian."

Each remark pierced Dingguang Xian like a sharp sword.

Had Lu Changsheng really injured him this badly?!

Dingguang Xian suddenly opened his eyes and glared up at Lu Changsheng.

Lu Changsheng looked at him with disdain.

"I took nearly a hundred of your Shangqing Divine Thunder strikes without a scratch, yet you couldn't even take one of mine."

"Is that all the Suishi Qixian are capable of?"

"Looks like there's nothing special about you, Dingguang Xian."

Lu Changsheng's taunts made Dingguang Xian furious. He leaped straight to his feet.

The agony of his torn flesh, combined with his uncontrollable rage, twisted his face into a hideous grimace.

"Lu Changsheng!"

Dingguang Xian ground his teeth and roared.

"This fight isn't over yet!"

"So what if your Shangqing Divine Thunder is powerful?"

"Do you recognize this?!"

A flash of dark light appeared, and a small hammer was now in Dingguang Xian's hand.

An obscure aura emanated from the hammer. It was clearly a magic treasure.

The moment the treasure appeared, it drew the attention of countless Jie Sect Disciples.

Bixiao stared at the small hammer, looking it over again and again.

"Th-this looks like an Xiantian Lingbao!"

"That's right. It is an Xiantian Lingbao."

Qiongxiao added.

"It's Wuyunxian's Hunyuan Hammer."

Bixiao looked indignant.

"Is Dingguang Xian completely shameless? He's even brought out an Xiantian Lingbao."

"Can Lu Changsheng withstand the Hunyuan Hammer?"

Zhao Gongming shook his head.

"If it were a Houtian Lingbao or a Houtian Supreme Treasure, he might stand a chance."

"But against an Xiantian Lingbao, it'll be difficult."

"Still, there's no rule against using magic treasures in a duel."

Bixiao's eyes widened.

"Doesn't that mean Lu Changsheng is going to lose?"

"Big Sister, what should we do now?"

Yunxiao stood frozen, her jade hand clenched into a fist beneath her sleeve.

She had expected Dingguang Xian to prepare for this fight, but she had never imagined he would borrow the Hunyuan Hammer.

She had underestimated just how shameless Dingguang Xian could be.

"Don't worry. Let's see what happens!"

Though the situation was extremely unfavorable for Lu Changsheng, there wasn't the slightest hint of panic on his face.

He had guessed where the Hunyuan Hammer had come from.

"So this is the Hunyuan Hammer?"

"You really went to a lot of trouble just to win this duel."

There was no attempt to hide the mockery in his words.

Dingguang Xian gave a vicious laugh.

"Say whatever you like."

With his cultivation and status, having to bring out the Hunyuan Hammer, an Xiantian Lingbao, to deal with Lu Changsheng was indeed humiliating.

But now, badly injured, he didn't care about anything else. He just wanted Lu Changsheng to pay.

The winner was king, and the loser was a villain.

How could using a magic treasure be more embarrassing than losing to Lu Changsheng, a Mysterious Immortal?

"Let's see how many strikes your body can take!"

As he spoke, Dingguang Xian swept his arm and hurled the Hunyuan Hammer toward Lu Changsheng.

His injuries wouldn't hold out much longer. He had to end the fight quickly!

As the streak of dark light flew toward Lu Changsheng, a surge of magical power rose from Yunxiao.

Even a Golden Immortal Peak, let alone a Mysterious Immortal Peak, wouldn't want to take a single strike from the Hunyuan Hammer head-on. Not even a Taiyi Golden Immortal would find it easy.

No matter how powerful Lu Changsheng's Body Tempering Divine Ability was, he would probably struggle to withstand a strike from an Xiantian Lingbao.

Yet at a moment like this, Lu Changsheng smiled.

"Your magic treasure is impressive, but you're not the only one with a magic treasure."
