Whoosh!
Lei Jun opened his eyes and reined in his aura.
He was immensely pleased to see that the divine ability had such power.
Just moments ago, a thought had crossed his mind.
Lei Jun had wanted to test his current level of cultivation.
Then, he unleashed all the magic power in his body.
His Dao Body also rumbled.
"I used about..."
"Fifty percent of my strength!"
Lei Jun said softly.
Why did he say fifty percent when he had fully unleashed his magic power?
Because Lei Jun had only used his innate divine ability.
And he had even released it as light, spreading it across the entire Primordial Wilderness.
That had reduced its power countless times over.
If he had gathered the light together instead of releasing it that way,
then it would have been...
Nine-Nine Nirvana Heavens-Slaying Divine Thunder!
Besides,
he had not used divine abilities such as Small Heaven, either.
And then there were his Supreme Treasures.
Perhaps saying fifty percent was an overestimate!
In any case,
Lei Jun was no longer as he had been before, only infinitely close to Hunyuan.
He had truly stepped into Hunyuan!
After sensing the immense power within him, Lei Jun slowly emerged from seclusion.
At that moment,
Lei Jun had truly entered the realm of the Dao!
Every movement, every word and action—
all contained Daoist Rhyme!
With that thought,
Lei Jun rose to his feet.
The light of Ziwei Star dimmed.
Everything returned to calm.
Lei Jun turned his gaze toward the Primordial Wilderness. With a single glance, he could see everything.
Whether Fierce Beasts, baleful aura,
or the whereabouts of the Innate Gods,
there was little that could escape his scrutiny.
Only a handful of places in the entire Primordial Wilderness could still keep his will at bay.
By then,
the Primordial Wilderness held few secrets from Lei Jun.
However,
Lei Jun still could not be said to have transcended the Primordial Wilderness.
He was comparable to Hunyuan,
yet extremely unusual.
He was beyond the Primordial Wilderness's control, yet still within it.
Withdrawing his Divine Sense,
Lei Jun turned his gaze back to Ziwei Star.
"As a cultivator, I should have a Dojo!"
"Ever since I took form, I've done nothing but wander, apart from the place where I first took form."
"Other than when I'm in seclusion, I haven't stopped for a single moment."
"My cultivation has now reached Lesser Success. It's time to find somewhere to settle down!"
"Ziwei Star seems like a fine choice!"
Lei Jun did not return to the Primordial Wilderness right away.
He wanted to establish a Dojo on Ziwei Star.
He had already thought of a name!
"I won't make it complicated."
"I'll name it after my Dao title!"
"It'll be called..."
"Lei Jun Palace!"
The Primordial Wilderness.
Beyond Ziwei Star.
Before Lei Jun had fully emerged from seclusion, the light had yet to fade.
It still shone brilliantly,
stirring an uproar throughout the Primordial Wilderness.
Everything touched by the light was left in shock.
Not only did the Fierce Beasts go berserk, but the Innate Gods who had yet to take form and remained in their Origin state nearly went "berserk" too!
Or perhaps they were excited?
Even after the light faded and the boundless Purple Qi dispersed,
their feelings still hadn't settled.
Within a great formation,
an uncontrollable tremor rippled through a mass of incredibly dense Origin.
This Origin was not only larger than that of ordinary Innate Gods,
but was also close to taking solid form.
It seemed that before long, its owner would take form.
Clearly,
this was an Innate God who had already taken form during the Dragon-Han Calamity.
A Small Slip circled nearby.
This mountain was none other than
Jade Capital Mountain.
And this person was none other than
Hongjun!
The Small Slip was none other than the Creation Jade Plate!
At that moment,
Hongjun could no longer remain calm. His consciousness surged without pause.
He couldn't help but laugh aloud.
"Hundreds of Eons ago, I heard the thunder of the Heavenly Dao."
"At the time, I thought it was a false impression. Now that I think about it, that was clearly a sign that the Heavenly Dao was about to emerge!"
"Hahaha!"
"This boundless Purple Qi, this light that dispels baleful aura, this unmatched divine might..."
"That's right! The Heavenly Dao has emerged!"
The Heavenly Dao had emerged!
What did that mean?
It meant
that before long, the baleful aura would begin to recede.
The Fierce Beasts would be destroyed, and the countdown would begin!
A new era was about to arrive!
Hongjun didn't know all the details, but he did understand one thing.
That was...
Once the Heavenly Dao had emerged, he could prepare to take form!
He had waited far too long for this.
No wonder he was so excited.
Similar scenes
were unfolding across the Primordial Wilderness.
From the ancestral lands of the East Sea Dragon Clan,
to Qilin Cliff near Buzhou,
and then to Phoenix Territory at the Southern Undying Volcano.
The forefathers of the Innate Three Clans in later generations
had also received the sign.
In an instant,
a hundred thousand years passed.
Lei Jun had opened up another world on Ziwei Star.
Within that world
stood a Heavenly Palace.
Before the Heavenly Palace hung a plaque.
Two characters were inscribed on it.
Lei Jun!
Thus, this palace was known as...
Lei Jun Palace!
At last,
his Dojo was complete!
"From now on, this will be my Dojo!"
"The only pure land in the Primordial Wilderness!"
"Lei Jun Palace!"
Seated within his Dojo, Lei Jun gave a slight nod.
The next thing Lei Jun had to do was purify the baleful aura!
"The Fierce Beast Tribulation must end!"
Lei Jun spoke in an indifferent tone, as if announcing something of little consequence.
The Fierce Beast Tribulation
had lasted too long to be measured by time.
It could even be traced back to the source of the River of Time!
Ever since the world was created,
the Primordial Wilderness had been caught in the Fierce Beast Tribulation.
From the gradual stabilization of Heaven and Earth,
to the gestation of the Heavenly Dao,
and then to the present,
the time that had passed was unimaginable.
A thousand Eons was a long time, right?
But compared to this span, it was nothing at all.
It wasn't even a fraction of a fraction.
Thus,
the Fierce Beast Tribulation could be called the longest Tribulation Period in the Primordial Wilderness!
There was no other like it.
Indeed, even the next several Tribulation Periods combined might not last as long as this one!
But now,
the Fierce Beast Tribulation was about to change.
The countdown was beginning.
Because by now, not only had the Heavenly Dao emerged.
In the Primordial Wilderness.
There was yet another Primal Chaos Saint!
When Lei Jun said the Fierce Beast Tribulation Period should come to an end,
he had already found Shen Ni.
To bring the Fierce Beast Tribulation Period to an end,
Shen Ni was a calamity that had to be dealt with.
Otherwise, the Tribulation Period could not end.
As it happened, Lei Jun had fought Shen Ni before.
The first time, his cultivation was insufficient.
He could say that Shen Ni had "instantly killed" him.
The second time, his cultivation was still insufficient.
He could protect himself, but couldn't fight back. In the end, he could only flee.
"But this third time..."
"Shen Ni is toast!"
With a single thought,
Lei Jun rose and left his Dojo.
It was his first time leaving the Dojo since his breakthrough.
And then,
another great advantage of breaking through to a higher realm revealed itself.
In the past,
traveling had taken him a long time.
The Primordial Wilderness was simply too vast.
When his cultivation was low, a journey could take tens of millions of years at the shortest, and more than ten Eons at the longest.
Most of his time,
you could say,
had gone toward traveling.
Even before his breakthrough, when he had been infinitely close to Hunyuan,
going anywhere often took a long time.
Several million years was nothing unusual.
But things were different now. Within the reach of his Divine Sense,
within the radiance of boundless lightning,
he could reach any place
in a single thought!
Distance meant nothing! Time meant nothing!
Only by truly standing in another dimension
could one do such a thing.
Whoosh!
The next moment, Lei Jun vanished.
When he appeared again, it wasn't in the Western Wilderness,
but in the South Sea!
Shen Ni was here.
Ever since Lei Jun had ruined his plan for the Godslaying Spear, Shen Ni had stopped staying in the Western Wilderness.
Instead, he had come to the South Sea.
Though Lei Jun didn't know what Shen Ni was after,
one thing was certain:
it had something to do with destroying the Primordial Wilderness.
That guy was full of schemes.
If one plan failed,
he would surely come up with another.
Whatever it was, Lei Jun would simply stop him.
At that moment,
Shen Ni still appeared to Lei Jun as a mass of Black Qi.
A form without features.
It meant Lei Jun feared nothing.
Nothing could frighten him.
For the moment fear entered his heart,
Shen Ni would take on the form of whatever a cultivator feared, and even draw Origin from that fear.
With one side rising and the other falling,
even the highest cultivation would bring certain defeat.
And yet,
Lei Jun had feared nothing even before his breakthrough.
How much less so now?
Lei Jun spoke slowly.
In an instant,
a Dao Sound rang out,
equal to a Heavenly Sound.
"Shen Ni!"
"Do you still remember me?"
