Nine Heavens Startling Thunder Shakes the World; One Finger Pierces the Void for Ninety Thousand Miles
After leaving the Immortal Burial Valley, Luo Chuan was stopped by several people from the Cultivation Alliance. After all, if he killed this person, he could obtain a top-tier Void Treasure.
The allure of top-tier Void Treasure is undeniable. Throughout history, only a handful of people have been able to obtain them; even powerful individuals at the Sunie Realm Void Treasure may not necessarily possess them.
The elderly man at the head of the group stroked his pale goatee, looked at Luo Chuan before him, and said calmly, "Young Luo Chuan, hand over all the treasures you possess, and I might grant you a chance to commit suicide on the spot."
"That's right, hand over your treasures, or we will definitely extract your soul and let you experience what it means to wish you were dead!"
Ancient Demon Bero and the Cloud Immortal Couple also stepped forward, their eyes flashing with an almost imperceptible coldness as they looked at the powerful cultivators from the Cultivation Alliance before them.
Seeing that Cloud Immortal Couple was also getting involved, the nine Sunie Realm experts from the Cultivation Alliance frowned simultaneously, clearly not expecting these two to get involved in this matter.
Upon seeing these two suddenly intervene, the nine Sunie Realm experts from the Cultivation Alliance frowned simultaneously, their expressions instantly darkening.
The elder at the head of the group's eyes turned cold, and his voice carried a hint of warning. " Wang Wei, Hu Juan, this matter is a private grudge between our Cultivation Alliance and Luo Chuan, and it concerns the Alliance's bounty and top-tier Void Treasure."
"Are you sure you want to get involved in this mess for the sake of an outsider?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the other eight people also activated their cultivation, their auras subtly locking onto Cloud Immortal Couple. They planned to immediately suppress them should they show any disrespect.
Wang Wei let out a cold laugh, his voice as steady as a mountain, his aura undiminished. "Muddy Waters? Luo Chuan is a friend we both acknowledge. If a friend is in trouble, I, Cloud Immortal Couple, will certainly not stand idly by."
Hu Juan's eyes were icy cold, and her tone was indifferent yet carried an undeniable force. "Treasure or grudge, with us here today, no one will be able to touch a hair on his head."
Upon hearing this, the expressions of everyone in the Cultivation Alliance changed completely. They could ignore Luo Chuan and use their numbers to coerce and entice him, but they dared not be careless in the face of Cloud Immortal Couple.
Wang Wei and Hu Juan are both genuine mid-stage Sunie Realm. Having cultivated for many years, they are of one mind, and their combined attack is twice as powerful.
Let alone these nine early-stage Sunie Realm Tian Yunzi, even if Tian Yunzi, who was in the Three Decays of Heaven and Man and Man, were to come in person, he would have to be wary of the Cloud Immortal Couple had joined forces, and would not dare to easily claim victory.
The nine men looked at each other, their breathing fluctuating, but none of them dared to make the first move.
If a real fight breaks out, they'll probably lose their lives before they even get their hands on the Void Treasure.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the arena became extremely tense. The nine powerful auras collided violently with the aura of the Cloud Immortal Couple. Neither side gave way, yet neither dared to take the first step.
"Since you've already said so, let's call it a day. However, I would like to have a friendly spar with you, Fellow Luo Chuan. What do you think?"
Just then, a relatively young cultivator stepped out from the crowd. He was also a mid-stage Sunie Realm expert, and clearly intended to use him to personally kill Luo Chuan in front of him on the spot.
Cloud Immortal Couple frowned simultaneously, and just as they were about to say something, Luo Chuan readily agreed. After all, this was his own business, and there was no need for Cloud Immortal Couple to help him solve his troubles.
"Since that's the case, then let me experience the strength of an elder of the Cultivation Alliance."
Upon hearing Luo Chuan's agreement, the young man at the mid-stage of the Sunie Realm realm smiled and said, "Very well, I am Mo Ran, the envoy of the Cultivation Alliance. Today, let me experience your strength!"
Seeing this, the surrounding crowd wisely stepped back, clearing a space for battle, since this was now a one-on-one fight between Luo Chuan and Mo Ran.
The Cloud Immortal Couple stepped aside, their brows slightly furrowed, but they did not stop them further. Instead, they secretly focused their attention and remained vigilant, lest someone launch a sneak attack.
Mo Ran walked out slowly, his dark blue Daoist robe fluttering in the wind. His mid-stage Sunie Realm cultivation was displayed without reservation, and the air itself was slightly distorted by the pressure.
His eyes were contemptuous, and a confident smile played on his lips.
" Luo Chuan, you dared to fight alone, which shows you have some backbone. Unfortunately, backbone won't save your life."
As soon as he finished speaking, Mo Ran suddenly formed hand seals, his fingertips surging with immortal power, and shouted, " Cultivation Alliance, Burning Heaven Seven Immortal Sword Formation, activate!"
In an instant, seven dazzling sword lights condensed from the void, each a thousand feet long, their sword energy sharp and fierce, burning the heavens and earth, forming a deadly sword formation that firmly locked Luo Chuan in place.
The sword flashed, flames surged, and even the surrounding air was ignited, turning into a sea of fire.
"This technique is one of the most treasured immortal techniques of our alliance. It's not unjust that you died by this sword."
Luo Chuan remained calm, one hand behind his back, his gaze indifferent as he watched the sky filled with sword light, showing no sign of panic. "The moves are good, but the people are too noisy."
"Since you want to see immortal techniques, then let me show you the true power of a superior-grade immortal technique."
Before Luo Chuan finished speaking, he slowly raised his right index finger, and the pale blue electric light swirling around his fingertip suddenly surged, as if the surrounding air was being torn apart by lightning, emitting a sharp, crackling sound.
An invisible force pressed down on the surface of the Huai River, creating a vacuum zone about ten feet in diameter beneath his feet. Water droplets hovered in the air, refracting lightning like tiny stars.
There was no earth-shattering roar, only a flash of lightning, and the rock, as hard as iron, turned to dust and vanished with the wind, leaving only a charred finger mark on the ground, still emitting wisps of smoke.
Luo Chuan twitched his fingers slightly, and in an instant, the Azure Thunder in his hand transformed into a giant thunder dragon a hundred feet long, shooting towards the distant mountains with the speed of lightning.
" Nine Heavens Startling Thunder shakes the universe; a single finger pierces the sky for ninety thousand miles."
In an instant, the hundred-foot-long thunder dragon, carrying a world-destroying power, illuminated the entire bamboo forest as if it were daytime with the lightning on its scales.
The air was distorted by the scorching lightning, and even the ripples on the Huai River in the distance froze for a moment, as if the world itself was holding its breath under this power.
Before the ancient trees along the way could even tremble, they were charred black by the electric current emanating from the Thunder Dragon's body, with sparks still crackling at the broken ends.
The spirit bird perched on the bamboo tip took flight in alarm, only to be struck by the aftershocks of the lightning. Its wings instantly turned to ashes, and it couldn't even utter a mournful cry.
The moment the thunder dragon crashed into the mountain, there was no expected roar; instead, an extreme silence spread out first.
The sounds of wind, insects, and flowing water in the mountains all disappeared, leaving only the oppressive feeling of thunder power concentrated to its extreme, enveloping the surrounding area.
The next instant, a burst of white light exploded, and the entire mountain was cleanly severed at its waist, the cut surface as smooth as a mirror, with faint blue lightning patterns remaining.
