Primordial Era: Before the Lecture Was Even Finished, the Ancestor Witches All Achieved Sanctification
Yet Tongtian was still free. As long as they protected him, wouldn't that mean they could lose a little less?
That was still much better than both of them being captured, wasn't it?
Watching Laozi sprint away, Li Hao smiled and took out the jade slip, wanting to examine its contents carefully.
What if his natural talent was exceptional and he understood it at a glance?
Having one more divine power meant one more method to deal with enemies.
Imagine rushing into a crowd and activating lightning magic at maximum power.
Indiscriminate attacks, just like an exploding tank—how thrilling was that?
Upon taking a closer look, Li Hao was instantly startled.
This was because the first sixty-something percent of the transmission jade slip was completely fine, but the final nearly forty percent was absolute nonsense.
Practicing it rashly would at best cripple one, and at worst might provoke an attack from the Chaos Divine Thunder.
Do not ask him how he knew; asking meant he was exceptionally intelligent and had comprehended it himself.
Mn... In fact, Li Hao was clueless and had not felt that anything was different.
The reason he knew all this was entirely thanks to the system.
When he looked at the remaining forty percent, the system's characteristically cold, mechanical voice sounded.
[Ding! The host has acquired the tampered Three Pure Immortal Light and Three Pure Divine Thunder supreme techniques.]
[Remember not to practice them rashly; at best it causes madness, and at worst it attracts the attention of the Chaos Divine Thunder, lowering heavenly punishment!]
When this news appeared, how could Li Hao not be shocked?
It could be said to be shocking to the extreme!
Along with his surprise, he also felt somewhat frustrated.
After going to all that trouble, he had ended up gaining nothing at all.
That old fellow Laozi was simply unworthy of his own acting skills!
And he actually dared to plot against him?
Fine! Truly fine!
Watch how I toy with you until you are dead!
Li Hao was extremely indignant, but soon, his anger turned to joy.
Because the system prompt sounded once more.
[Ding! Detected that the host possesses one million points...]
[May I ask the host whether to use one hundred thousand points to complete the divine power?]
[Once the divine power is completed, it can be normally practiced, non-toxic, harmless, and pollution-free. Please feel free to consume it.]
Hearing this, Li Hao was stunned, and then so happy he nearly jumped up.
He had always thought points were useless, but turns out this was the correct way to use them!
After discovering the correct usage for points, Li Hao felt a distinct pang of heartache.
Points were indeed immensely useful. It could be said that apart from being a bit expensive, they had zero flaws.
There was not a single flaw in that statement.
Completing two divine powers cost one hundred thousand points, which was a full hundred thousand years of day and night—cough, continuous sign-ins.
One hundred thousand points! Only one point a day!
Although time passed without count in the Primordial Era and was worthless,
the expenditure really was a bit too large.
Li Hao sighed. It was too late to say anything now; the points had already been spent, and feeling heartbroken over it was useless. He had better focus on the present.
He picked up the jade slip and looked at it again. Under this second look, the contents on the jade slip were completely different from before.
Even the names had changed; the names Three Pure Immortal Light and Three Pure Divine Thunder had respectively become All Heavens Immortal Light and All Heavens Divine Thunder.
Seeing these two names, Li Hao trembled slightly all over with excitement!
Holy shit! Awesome!
Third Brother! That old man seems to be holding our clan's Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Seven Treasures Pagoda
Li Hao could not help but be excited. The All Heavens series!
One must know that the original meaning of All Heavens was the heavens, the five directions and five heavens, and it also carried the meaning of Zhou Tian.
Looking across the entire Primordial Era, anything that dared to be called All Heavens or Zhou Tian,
or anything related to these two words, never represented anything simple.
Whether it was the Twelve All Heavens God-Fiend Array, the All Heavens Divine Thunder, or even the Zhou Tian Star Dou Array,
every single one of them was formidably powerful to the extreme!
Setting aside those two ancient vicious formations, let us just talk about this All Heavens Divine Thunder.
That was a lightning magic originally mastered by Pangu, known as the "Heaven-Punishing Thunder".
By the Primordial Era, compared to the "Sky-Opening Qi Blade" unleashed by the Pangu Banner, its might was even greater and nothing less.
This was a top-tier divine power that few could rival beneath the saints.
Seeing this, Li Hao's face immediately blossomed into a smile, and his heartache vanished.
Only a single thought filled his mind.
And that was—it was worth it!
It was just so damn worth it!
Based solely on this All Heavens Divine Thunder, those one hundred thousand points had already paid for themselves.
And that did not even count the All Heavens Immortal Light, which had never been seen nor even heard of in the original trajectory.
In short, this wave was not a loss; on the contrary, there was a profit.
Feeling quite pleased with himself, Li Hao handed the jade slip to Houtu beside him, whose face wore a worried expression.
He understood that this eldest sister was simply too nervous; seeing the changes in his expression, she must have been worried again.
Patting Houtu's palm, he said happily, "Eldest sister, take a good look at this divine power and study it in advance!"
Houtu nodded, took the jade slip, and looked it over.
Originally, she had disdained to study it, for after all, these Three Pure Ones could not even break her younger brother's physical defense.
Then what need was there to study their divine powers?
Who would study someone inferior to themselves?
Yet her younger brother had spoken, so she would study it; as long as her younger brother was satisfied, she was happy.
It had to be said that Houtu was already developing a tendency to become a devoted younger-brother-obsessed sister.
Her thoughts were like this, but the moment she looked at the jade slip, she discovered that this was no divine power of the Three Pure Ones at all; it was clearly named All Heavens Divine Thunder and Immortal Light.
She immediately understood why her younger brother had asked her to study it.
It turned out he had already modified it properly.
Her younger brother was truly the most amazing!
Houtu looked at Li Hao, her eyes brilliant with dazzling colors, and her face filled with pride and elation.
Meanwhile, let us speak of the battle between Zhu Rong and Tongtian.
Calling it a battle was no longer quite appropriate; it should rather be called a savage, one-sided abuse of Tongtian by Zhu Rong.
At this moment, Tongtian was disheveled, with charred marks appearing in multiple places on his face and body.
His hair was even more scattered and unkempt, with many sections burned until they curled up.
Zhu Rong looked entirely at ease; had his trousers possessed pockets, he probably would have easily and cheerfully placed his hands inside them.
As for Tongtian, he dodged left and right like a lonely boat in a storm, occasionally still taking a hit.
In short, he was miserable to the extreme, with nothing most miserable, only more miserable.
Seeing Laozi return, Zhu Rong, who had been playing a cat-and-mouse game, immediately put away his playful mindset and grew solemn.
Facing Zhu Rong when he grew serious, Tongtian's resistance grew weaker and weaker, almost reaching a one-sided state where he could only take beatings without the ability to fight back or dodge.
Naturally, Laozi saw this scene as well, knowing in his heart that the opponent was about to make a move to capture his third brother.
He saw it in his eyes and felt anxious in his heart.
Yet what could he do?
Indeed, he could deploy the Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda to protect Tongtian.
Yet at the current distance, that was absolutely impossible to achieve.
Thus, he could only continuously squeeze his own magic power to increase his traveling speed.
Just as Zhu Rong was about to deliver a ruthless blow, Laozi finally rushed within range.
Watching Zhu Rong's attack descend, Laozi let out a loud shout.
"You dare!"
At the same time, he unleashed his magic treasure.
A small, fist-sized pagoda glowing entirely with mysterious yellow qi shot out, expanding against the wind.
In the blink of an eye, it became a giant pagoda ten thousand zhang tall, directly enclosing Tongtian within it.
Laozi's speed was not slow, and his deployment of the magic treasure was equally swift.
Yet Zhu Rong was not slow either. If he allowed you, starting from close range against someone far away, to make your later move arrive before his first,
then how would he survive in this world?
