The moment the voice sounded, Lu Changsheng formed a hand seal.

All the Jie Sect disciples present, including Sanxiao and Zhao Gongming, stared intently at Lu Changsheng.

The Body Tempering Divine Ability that could withstand attacks from Golden Immortal Peak experts had already been quite surprising.

They wondered what other tricks Lu Changsheng had up his sleeve.

Perhaps Lu Changsheng could actually win?

Even Dingguang Xian's face showed a hint of solemnity.

Streams of spiritual power condensed around his body, preparing to unleash defensive techniques.

But the next moment, Dingguang Xian's expression froze, and the spiritual power gathering around him stopped.

He looked at the hand seal Lu Changsheng was forming, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Could this be...?

"Shangqing Divine Thunder?!"

Dingguang Xian exclaimed.

He hadn't been entirely sure at first, but the hand seal Lu Changsheng was forming looked increasingly familiar.

Wasn't this Shangqing Divine Thunder?

Dingguang Xian couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"I thought you had some special trick up your sleeve, but it's just Shangqing Divine Thunder."

It was his own fault for thinking too highly of Lu Changsheng.

What kind of tricks could an Outer Disciple of the Jie Sect, who was only an Earth Immortal two hundred years ago, possibly have?

At this moment, Dingguang Xian watched Lu Changsheng unleash Shangqing Divine Thunder as if watching a joke.

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

Dingguang Xian became serious and formed a hand seal.

A Shangqing Divine Thunder, far more powerful than any before, struck towards Lu Changsheng.

The outcome was, as expected, predictable. The defense of the Indestructible Thunder God Body was so formidable that even if Dingguang Xian exhausted all his spiritual power, he couldn't shake it.

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

Lu Changsheng spoke as the thunder seal in his palm took shape.

Instantly, the entire dome above Golden Ao Island was shrouded in dark clouds.

Dingguang Xian instinctively looked up, his face stiffening.

This... was Shangqing Divine Thunder?

There was no time for further thought as fear surged like a tide, engulfing Dingguang Xian completely.

At this moment, Dingguang Xian's entire body was covered in goosebumps, and he trembled uncontrollably.

He didn't know if this was truly Shangqing Divine Thunder, but he felt a sense of threat.

Dingguang Xian reacted quickly, unleashing layers of defensive techniques in the fastest way possible.

Golden light protected him within its embrace.

Just as the last layer of golden light materialized, a blinding bolt of lightning flashed from within the dark clouds.

Boom!

A deafening roar exploded above Golden Ao Island.

A bolt of lightning as black as ink shot directly towards Dingguang Xian.

Beneath this lightning, the defenses Dingguang Xian had erected were like paper.

It couldn't block?!

By the time Dingguang Xian realized this, he had lost any chance to dodge and could only instinctively raise his arms to block.

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

He plummeted from the sky, crashing directly onto Golden Ao Island.

For a moment, an eerie silence fell over Golden Ao Island.

Countless astonished gazes turned towards Lu Changsheng.

"Is it an illusion? Why do I feel Lu Changsheng's Shangqing Divine Thunder is more powerful than mine?"

Bixiao's face was filled with disbelief.

"It's more than just more powerful than mine; even I feel ashamed in comparison."

Qiongxiao also looked amazed.

"His Shangqing Divine Thunder has likely reached Perfection."

Zhao Gongming spoke.

"Perfection?"

"Brother, are you kidding me!"

Bixiao looked at Zhao Gongming with disbelief.

The Shangqing Divine Thunder wasn't considered a profound divine ability within the Jie Sect; any disciple who reached the True Immortal Realm could cultivate it.

However, to cultivate the Shangqing Divine Thunder to the Perfection realm was something no Jie Sect disciple had ever achieved.

"Among our fellow disciples, regarding the mastery of Shangqing Divine Thunder, Duobao Senior Brother is the most accomplished."

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

Zhao Gongming said, looking at Yunxiao.

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

Yunxiao nodded, also finding it hard to believe.

"Certain."

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

At this moment, her heart was in turmoil.

This meant Lu Changsheng had only taken less than a hundred years to cultivate the divine ability Shangqing Divine Thunder to the Perfection realm.

"It seems we're going to have an extraordinary figure among our Jie Sect disciples."

Zhao Gongming smiled.

"By the way, what happened to Dingguang Xian?"

Bixiao's question shifted everyone's attention from Lu Changsheng to Dingguang Xian.

When the lightning dissipated and everyone saw Dingguang Xian's tragic state, they couldn't help but gasp.

Lying in the pit, Dingguang Xian's daoist robe was tattered, with scorched flesh peeling open in places.

His arms, in particular, were horrific, with flesh completely gone, revealing bone-white bone.

Dingguang Xian was groggy, his consciousness blurred.

Discussions reached his ears.

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

"I think it's not that Lu Changsheng is that powerful, but that Dingguang Xian is too weak."

"Fellow disciple who called Dingguang Xian weak, try fighting him yourself."

"Regardless of whether Lu Changsheng is too strong or Dingguang Xian is too weak, Dingguang Xian lost this battle, right?"

"And they call him one of the Suishi Qixian."

Each word pierced Dingguang Xian like a sharp sword.

He had been injured this badly by Lu Changsheng?!

Dingguang Xian's eyes snapped open, and he glared up at Lu Changsheng.

Lu Changsheng looked disdainful.

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

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

"It seems your 'Xian' in Dingguang Xian is nothing special."

Lu Changsheng's mockery enraged Dingguang Xian to the point of smoke coming from his ears. He leaped up from the ground.

The pain of his torn flesh, coupled with uncontrollable rage, contorted Dingguang Xian's face into a ferocious mask.

"Lu Changsheng!"

Dingguang Xian roared through gritted teeth.

"This battle isn't over yet!"

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

"Do you recognize this?!"

A streak of dark light flashed, and a small hammer appeared in Dingguang Xian's hand.

The hammer emanated a subtle fluctuation, clearly a Magic Treasure.

The moment the Magic Treasure appeared, it instantly drew the attention of many Jie Sect disciples.

Bixiao stared at the small hammer, then stared again.

"This, this looks like a Xiantian Lingbao?"

"That's right, it's a Xiantian Lingbao."

Qiongxiao added.

"This is Wuyunxian's Hunyuan Hammer."

Bixiao's face was filled with indignation.

"Isn't Dingguang Xian too shameless? He even brought out a Xiantian Lingbao."

"Can Lu Changsheng block the Hunyuan Hammer?"

Zhao Gongming shook his head.

"If it were a Houtian Lingbao, or a Houtian Supreme Treasure, then maybe."

"A Xiantian Lingbao, that's difficult!"

"But there's no rule against using Magic Treasures in a duel."

Bixiao's eyes widened.

"Does that mean Lu Changsheng is going to lose?"

"Eldest Sister, what do we do now?"

Yunxiao froze on the spot, her jade hands, hidden in her sleeves, already clenched into fists.

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

She had underestimated Dingguang Xian's bottom line.

"Don't rush, keep watching!"

Although the situation was extremely unfavorable for Lu Changsheng, not a trace of panic could be seen on his face.

He had also guessed the origin of the Hunyuan Hammer.

"Hunyuan Hammer, is it?"

"You've gone to great lengths to win this duel."

The sarcasm in his words was undisguised.

Dingguang Xian let out a sinister laugh.

"Say whatever you want."

In truth, for his cultivation and status to use a Xiantian Lingbao like the Hunyuan Hammer against Lu Changsheng was indeed a bit embarrassing.

But now, injured as he was, he didn't care about anything else; he just wanted Lu Changsheng to pay the price.

The winner takes all, the loser is a bandit.

Was using a Magic Treasure more shameful than losing to Lu Changsheng, a Mysterious Immortal?

"I'd like to see how many hammers your physical body can withstand!"

As he spoke, Dingguang Xian waved his arm, throwing the Hunyuan Hammer towards Lu Changsheng.

His injuries wouldn't last much longer; he had to end this quickly!

Seeing that streak of dark light charging towards Lu Changsheng.

A surge of magical power was already rising from Yunxiao's body.

This strike from the Hunyuan Hammer, let alone a Mysterious Immortal Peak, even a Golden Immortal Peak or a Primordial Unity Golden Immortal would have a hard time facing it head-on.

No matter how strong Lu Changsheng's Body Tempering Divine Ability was, he probably wouldn't be able to withstand a single blow from a Xiantian Lingbao.

But at this moment, Lu Changsheng actually smiled.

"Your Magic Treasure is indeed powerful, but you're not the only one with a Magic Treasure."
