This figure is about three zhang tall, with a bird's beak and a human body. It has a pair of broad wings wrapped with electric snakes on its back, bulging muscles, and a majestic and fierce face. It is the legendary image of the Thunder God.
This " Thunder Duke Giant Spirit " holds a massive thunder hammer as tall as itself in its hand. With a slight shake, the hammerhead rubs against the Void, bursting out with dazzling lightning.
As Chan Yinsha Veil activated his divine will, Thunder Duke Giant Spirit slammed his thunder hammer heavily into the Void!
"Snap!!!"
A thunderous roar resounded deep within everyone's soul.
Centered on the Thunder Duke Giant Spirit, countless thin yet incredibly condensed blue lightning bolts shot out, instantly weaving into a giant net of lightning covering an area of tens of feet in radius.
Within the electric grid, thunder rumbled and electric snakes darted about, filling the air with the powerful and masculine energy of thunder, capable of destroying evil spirits. It also possessed a natural and powerful restraining and deterring force against Yin Spirit and ghosts.
If ordinary Ghost Immortal were trapped in this net, even their thoughts would become sluggish, and their Yin Spirit would be at risk of being burned or scattered by lightning.
"Contemplating the soul, transforming the illusory into the real, and controlling thunder with intention—the methods of this realm are indeed unique." Li Qingshan's eyes gleamed with admiration.
Unlike the method of directly controlling the Shrouding Method and lightning of heaven and earth and the evolution of runes, this method first visualizes a divine image that carries the "intent of thunder", and then uses the image to cast thunder spells. There is an extra layer of "divine" transformation and blessing in between, which makes the thunder spells have a unique "divinity" and "will". The attack not only targets the physical body and energy, but can also directly hit the soul level.
His mind raced, and within his primordial spirit, countless Dao patterns and Divine Markings began to rapidly combine and deduce.
He quickly analyzed and absorbed the core of Chan Yinsha's " Thunder Duke Giant Spirit Form," its essence, artistic conception, and power circulation, and verified it with his own understanding of the Great Dao of Thunder.
In an instant, the Void in front of Li Qingshan also began to tremble.
Countless materialized Dao patterns and Divine Markings, imbued with his own vital essence and profound understanding of the Dao, surged forth, outlining in the Void...
Weave, unite!
A " Thunder Duke Giant Spirit " that was almost identical to the one that appeared in Chan Yinsha quickly took shape.
But this giant spirit was also over ten feet tall, composed of countless fine, dazzling lightning Dao patterns containing terrifying energy, as if a true lightning god had descended!
Each flap of its wings was accompanied by the sound of wind and thunder; the thunder hammer in its hand was as solid as if it were cast from Purple Gold, and the hammerhead was naturally surrounded by destructive ball lightning.
That's not all.
Li Qingshan's primordial spirit stirred again, and the Dao Divine Markings runes in the Void on the other side surged and converged once more, clearly manifesting the " Great Might Heavenly Dragon Bodhisattva Form " that Hong Yi had previously cultivated.
Also a materialized body of Dao patterns, he sat high on a lotus platform, one foot on a golden dragon and the other on a white elephant. His muscles were bulging, his fists were clenched, and the power of the dragon and elephant, along with his demon-subduing will, rippled out in tangible golden waves, making him incomparably mighty and exuding explosive power.
Two colossal figures, one representing ultimate thunder and the other representing supreme power, are " Great Dao Avatar " created by Li Qingshan based on his own Dao and fused with the visualization of this world!
"This, how is this possible!" Chan Yinsha completely lost her composure, her beautiful eyes wide open and her delicate body trembling slightly.
She felt the thunderous pressure emanating from the Thunder Duke Giant Spirit, pure, vast, and supreme, far exceeding the power of the image she had visualized!
That was no longer a simple manifestation of "artistic conception," but a "sacred" entity that truly possessed some of the authority of thunder!
Hong Yi was also greatly shaken, and the light of his Yin Spirit flickered violently.
The oppressive feeling emanating from that Great Might Heavenly Dragon Bodhisattva made him feel as if he were facing the legendary true Dragon Elephant Bodhisattva descending. Compared to it, the Dharma image he visualized was like a firefly compared to the bright moon.
What made him even more uneasy was that the sheer Thunder Duke Giant Spirit made his Yin Spirit body instinctively feel a great threat. If he hadn't known that it was Senior Li in control, he probably would have already fled far away.
"Go," Li Qingshan said calmly.
The Thunder Duke Giant Spirit Daoist patterns roared silently to the sky, the sound of thunder shaking the very soul, and swung its Purple Gold thunder hammer with all its might towards the extremely distant Void!
It was not directed at anyone; it was merely a demonstration.
"Boom!!!"
The entire small world, shrouded in the power of the stars, suddenly darkened, as if it had instantly transformed from a moonlit night into the heart of a thunderstorm.
The boundless spiritual energy of heaven and earth was forcibly extracted and transformed into the most explosive essence of thunder.
Centered on the Thunder Duke Giant Spirit, the Void within a radius of dozens of miles, within the area designated by Li Qingshan, was instantly filled with an endless sea of blue-purple lightning!
It was a turbulent, boiling ocean of thunder, filled with an aura of destruction! Hundreds of millions of thunder dragons and lightning snakes surged and roared within it, exploding and intertwining. Even a wisp of its energy was enough to send Ghost Immortal flying and Martial Sacred Body crumbling.
Within the sea of lightning, even faint images of palaces, chariots, and divine generals—manifestations of the laws of lightning—fleeted to the surface, as if a heavenly tribulation had descended!
This is the true divine power that the " Thunder Duke Giant Spirit " visualization can display, supported by Li Qingshan's foundation in the Great Dao and his own strength!
Chan Yinsha's face turned deathly pale. She discovered that the Thunder Duke Giant Spirit she had been visualizing was completely powerless to maintain its form in the face of this sea of thunder, and its essence was directly assimilated and devoured.
Her signature Thunder Magic, which made her famous and made her stand out from her peers, was so terrifying in the hands of her opponent.
Her voice was dry and almost incoherent, each word seemingly squeezed out from her trembling soul. "Senior, you...!" Her words abruptly stopped, as if a thousand words were stuck in her throat, but all dissipated when she touched that abyss-like, thunderous true meaning.
She couldn't imagine, much less comprehend, what level of tribulation of lightning one had to endure, or what kind of extraordinary Fortune one had to experience to tame the thunder and lightning of heaven and earth to such an extent, making it as easy to control as one's own arm, almost to the point of wielding the power of heaven itself.
This far exceeded all her knowledge and imagination of the phrase " Lightning Tribulation Ghost Immortal ".
Under the residual power of the thunder, Hong Yi's Yin Spirit shrank to the size of a mustard seed, exerting all its strength to restrain every thought and resist the terrifying pressure that was all-pervasive and made his Yin Spirit feel as if it were in purgatory.
Even just the fleeting atmosphere of the scene made him feel as if the sky were about to collapse, and his divine sense was on the verge of disintegration.
His heart was already filled with turbulent waves, and his soul resonated with an uncontrollable astonishment. "With a single thought, thunder arises; how can this be done by human power? It is close to the Dao!"
Li Qingshan, however, had no time to notice their shock.
He was immersed in the new experience brought about by the two " Great Dao Avatar ".
Using the supreme Dao patterns of the Shrouding Method as its "body" and the unique "divine charm and artistic conception" provided by this realm's conception as its "soul," the avatar created by combining the two possesses certain unique "rule characteristics" and "growth potential."
This is by no means a simple one plus one.
The "Great Power Realm" and "Thunder Realm" were clearly reflected and analyzed in his primordial spirit, and began to merge and inspire with the "Fighting" Secret, Thunder Precious Technique, and other Shrouding Method he had mastered.
He sensed that if he could absorb all kinds of profound insights and integrate them into the patterns of his own Dao, the evolution and combination of those patterns would become increasingly complex, subtle, and unfathomable.
What one gains at that time will be far more than just an increase in combat power. Such a broad perspective on cultivation, integrating all methods and integrating all paths, and the expansion of one's foundation for cultivation, is itself an extraordinary opportunity that transcends the ordinary.
As Hong Yi recovered from the extreme shock, the horror in his eyes receded like a tide, replaced by an increasingly bright, almost burning, blazing light.
Having witnessed firsthand that Li Qingshan not only valued the visualization method but also possessed the supreme wisdom to see through its true nature, and in an instant innovated and evolved a power almost akin to the Dao of Heavenly Dao, the last bit of hesitation in his heart regarding "possessing a treasure is a crime" vanished.
The senior before me possesses profound wisdom and a broad mind that embraces all things.
Trying to hide anything from him or try to outsmart him is like a summer insect trying to explain ice.
Conversely, if one treats others with sincerity and openly shares one's knowledge, one may indeed receive unexpected opportunities and guidance.
With a surge of thoughts, Hong Yi, in his Yin Spirit state, "deeply concentrated" before speaking again. His voice rose slightly with understanding and excitement, carrying the clear and resonant quality characteristic of a scholar. "Senior's supernatural powers are beyond description, surpassing even the Fortune heaven and earth, leaving this junior utterly captivated. This junior is dull-witted, but by chance, I have managed to cultivate another method of visualization. Although it is only a glimpse, I humbly present it before Senior for your correction."
Upon hearing this, Li Qingshan's eyes shone with even greater anticipation. With a slight thought, the boundless sea of thunder and the majestic Bodhisattva image receded like the tide, and the surroundings returned to the tranquil scene of falling starlight.
A slight smile played on his lips as he nodded and said, "Since you have such a method, please speak freely; I am eager to see it."
Hong Yi nodded solemnly, his Yin Spirit light coalescing, and he began to chant in an ancient, solemn, and somewhat chilling tone. "Thus have I heard—the Buddha has compassion, but also wrath. The fire of anger transforms into the Bright King, who dwells in the world to quell the degenerate age, sweeping away demons and purifying the universe—"
As the chanting began, a mood distinct from all the previous phenomena quietly spread out.
It doesn't display the imposing power of the Great Might Heavenly Dragon Bodhisattva, nor does it exude the Zhang Yang and violent aura of the Thunder Duke Giant Spirit.
It was a deep, restrained rage that seemed capable of burning away the heavens, an ultimate will of "destruction" born for the sake of "purification" and "protection".
In the Void, golden light shone brightly, but it was not the peaceful light of the Bodhisattva; rather, it was a raging light as intense as molten gold, carrying boundless majesty and a sense of oppression.
An unprecedented demonic form materialized amidst golden flames and raging light.
This statue is about two zhang tall, its entire body is as if cast from pure gold, and its muscle lines are full of explosive power.
What is most peculiar is its appearance: it has four faces, each facing one of the four directions, with a different expression, such as glaring, sneering, showing pity, or looking grim.
Eight strong arms extend from the body, each forming a different hand seal or holding a virtual ritual implement.
Between his brows, a vertical line was tightly closed, yet it already conveyed a terrifying power that made even the Void tremble.
" Destruction Wisdom King!" Chan Yinsha exclaimed in a low voice, her tone filled with fear.
Although she had not practiced this method, she knew that it was an extremely profound and dangerous visualization method in Buddhism. It involved visualizing the wrathful manifestation of the Buddha as a wrathful deity, wielding the power of destruction. If one was not careful, one would harm oneself before harming the enemy, and it was extremely easy to set oneself on fire and have one's soul burned.
This young man's cultivation is still shallow, yet he dares to venture into such a dangerous and unpredictable method. Judging from his demeanor, he has already deeply grasped the true essence of it.
