Innate Purple Lightning, Heavenly Punishment Karma

Primordial World.

When the heavens and earth first opened, the land was a scene of utter wilderness.

Pangu slaughtered the Three Thousand Demon Gods to create the world, and in the end, he exhausted his own strength and perished.

After his death, his body transformed into all things, nurturing the countless Honghuang Myriad Spirits.

Meanwhile, the flesh and blood of the Three Thousand Demon Gods, along with all their lingering resentment and hatred, morphed into countless mindless Fierce Beasts that ravaged the Primordial World.

On this day, a booming voice drowned out the countless gale winds, resounding across the entire Primordial land.

"Great Dao above! I, Shen Ni, Patriarch of the Fierce Beast Race, today establish the Xiongshou Dynasty. I am the Beast Emperor, and I shall wield the authority of slaughter over heaven and earth. May the Great Dao bear witness!"

BOOM!!!!

No sooner had the words fallen than a bolt of Haotian Thunder streaked across the heavens, seemingly acknowledging Shen Ni's status and validating the existence of the Xiongshou Dynasty.

WHOOSH!

Just then, high above the nine heavens, within a roiling ocean of thunder.

A bolt of purple lightning shuddered, as if it were an anomaly, and rose up from the sea of thunder.

Following that.

A voice, ancient and weathered, as if questioning itself or perhaps filled with confusion, emanated from within.

"Where am I?"

"WTF!"

"Where are my hands?!"

"Where are my feet!"

Lei Jun felt his body swelling, swelling so much it felt as if it were about to burst.

Countless massive, chaotic streams of information flooded into his mind all at once, causing him agony beyond words.

He could only absorb these fragments of information bit by bit.

Countless years passed.

The sea of thunder above the nine heavens had vanished. Within the sea of clouds, only a single strand of Innate Purple Lightning remained like a rootless duckweed, muddled and drifting with the wind, wandering across every corner of the Primordial World.

RUMBLE!

On this very day, thunder raged above the nine heavens, as if the sky were collapsing.

Lei Jun awoke from his muddled state, circulating his essence to absorb the spiritual energy and thunder power between heaven and earth; the rolling thunderclouds all became his nourishment.

"I actually transmigrated to the Primordial World!"

"And I've become the very first strand of Innate Purple Lightning in heaven and earth?"

A strange feeling flickered in Lei Jun's heart.

In terms of his origin, he was no worse than any other innate powerhouse; in fact, because he was born within the first bolt of thunder in heaven and earth, he was naturally endowed with the authority of divine punishment.

It could be said that in the future, the Three-Nine Heavenly Tribulation, Four-Nine Heavenly Tribulation, Six-Nine Heavenly Tribulation, and even the Nine-Nine Annihilating Heaven Divine Punishment encountered by cultivators during their ascension would all be held in the palm of Lei Jun's hand.

This was the status bestowed upon him by heaven and earth!

"Hmm?"

"What is this?"

Lei Jun's Divine Soul fluctuated.

He saw within his mind a great black grinding disc, spinning incessantly. Wherever it passed, everything was ground into dust, disappearing completely from heaven and earth.

"World-Destroying Grinding Disc!"

Lei Jun exclaimed in shock.

This was a Supreme Treasure of Chaos. Although it was already damaged, it was already heaven-defying enough.

He never expected that he, this strand of Innate Purple Lightning, would have such deep fortune to be born with the World-Destroying Grinding Disc as a companion!

"Next, I must take human form as soon as possible!"

After the joy subsided, Lei Jun said to himself.

As for his appearance after taking form.

Naturally, he would model it after the most handsome and classical temperament.

He had gone through so much trouble to take form.

Did he really want to sport an ugly face?

That would just be disgusting himself!

Adhering to this principle, Lei Jun began to sculpt his own face...

In the Primordial World, time is not recorded.

Years passed in a flash, like a white horse galloping past a crevice.

On this day, Lei Jun felt a stir in his heart.

He knew that he could finally take on a human form!

Swish!

As the thought arose, the purple lightning shifted and transformed in the next second into a youth with sword-like brows and star-bright eyes, handsome features, and a robe embroidered with golden threads of purple lightning.

"Finally, I look like a human!"

Lei Jun stretched his limbs and exhaled softly.

To be honest, he was still accustomed to the days of having hands and feet.

He had missed being a human far too much.

The process of taking human form was even simpler and smoother than Lei Jun had imagined.

Primarily, this was because the Heavenly Dao had not yet emerged and the Great Dao was not manifest during this period; all laws were in chaos, so even if one's origin was heaven-defying, it would not attract a Heavenly Tribulation.

"They say that when Innate Great Beings take human form, a lightning tribulation appears, and the more heaven-defying the origin, the more terrifying the tribulation!"

"I suppose I won't have the chance to experience that; after all, I am the lightning tribulation myself!"

Lei Jun suddenly felt a sense of Versailles-style arrogance.

"It is currently the era of the Fierce Beast Tribulation!"

"The entire Primordial World is in utter chaos; the myriad spirits do not emerge, and only the Fierce Beast Race dominates the land."

"Those Fierce Beasts only know how to use brute force; they have no understanding of how to utilize magic power or Divine Abilities."

"In other words, those Supreme Treasures, Spirit Treasures, and Spirit Roots are all ownerless objects now. And ownerless objects belong to those with virtue!"

"And I am that virtuous one!"

In an instant, Lei Jun's eyes lit up.

If he didn't strive for it, how could he survive in a Primordial World where Da Luo are everywhere and Golden Immortals are as common as dogs!

With his mind made up, the rest was simple.

Lei Jun spent a bit more time consolidating his cultivation.

About ten thousand years later.

Lei Jun descended from the nine heavens to the Primordial land.

"Such dense Fierce Aura!"

Lei Jun swept his gaze around, shocked by the scene before him.

He saw that the Primordial land was filled with impure Innate Qi; besides spiritual energy, there was also Resentment Qi, Tribulation Qi, Fierce Aura, and more.

In such an environment, no proper lifeforms could ever be nurtured.

"Roar!"

Just as Lei Jun was lamenting, a beast's roar interrupted his thoughts.

He had encountered a Fierce Beast!

Fierce Beasts were formed from the remnants, essence blood, and post-mortem Resentment Qi of the Three Thousand Chaos Gods and Devils.

Fundamentally, they were the descendants of the Gods and Devils.

They were natural enemies to the legacy of Pangu—the Honghuang Myriad Spirits.

Therefore, from the day they were born, the Fierce Beast Race knew only how to destroy and ravage the Primordial World.

"A Golden Immortal-level Fierce Beast?"

"It should serve well as a practice dummy!"

Since his birth, Lei Jun had not yet made a move, and his hands had long been itching for a fight.

Now, a tool had delivered itself to his doorstep.

He wanted to test exactly how powerful the first purple lightning of heaven and earth, which governed Lightning Punishment, truly was!

"With my current strength, unleashing the Three-Nine Heavenly Tribulation is my limit."

"However, it should be enough!"

Lei Jun's expression was cold.

The moment his words fell.

Clouds of tribulation gathered above his head, layer upon layer, with lightning rolling and rumbling continuously!

The mere aura of it was suffocating.

The previously ferocious beasts suddenly faltered, their legs trembling uncontrollably.

"Fall!"

The next moment, This entire area was instantly submerged by thunder, as countless lightning serpents descended from the sky to baptize the earth.

This was the first time since the creation of the world that a Lightning Punishment had fallen from the heavens!

BOOM!!!

BOOM!!!

BOOM!!!

A full twenty-seven strikes in total, with each wave consisting of an endless sea of thunder crashing down simultaneously.

Ten thousand thunders roared in unison, and the horizon lit up completely!

When the final bolt of lightning dissipated, There was not a shadow of the Fierce Beast Race left on the ground; they had all been reduced to ashes, vanishing from the world entirely.

"I didn't expect my lightning to have a damage bonus against the Fierce Beast Race!"

Lei Jun could not help but exclaim.

Lightning is the most rigid and yang-aligned force.

And the Fierce Beast Race was entirely formed from resentment, Turbid Qi, and baleful thoughts—they were the greatest evil entities in the Primordial World!

Lightning is the natural nemesis of Evil Spirits!

It makes perfect sense!

Furthermore, Lei Jun discovered that after wiping out these fierce beasts, He had invisibly gained a trace of Source of Blessing?

What is a Source of Blessing?

Simply put, it is luck!

When one's luck is good, one can find treasures wherever they go; those with luck that defies Heaven might even stumble upon a Spirit Treasure just by stepping outside!

"This is a great opportunity!"

"I wield the Lightning Punishment, which is essentially acting on behalf of the heavens. Since the Heavenly Dao has yet to emerge, I shall take its place to purge the Fierce Beast Race. Once the Heavenly Dao manifests, won't it owe me a massive wave of Merit?!"

Thinking of this, Lei Jun immediately became eager to try.

An opportunity like this was far better than any Spirit Treasure or Spirit Root.

Perhaps when the next Tribulation Period arrives, he might even be able to secure a position as a Child of Destiny!
