Upon entering the Center, the darkness in Xu Long vanished completely, replaced by wave after wave of light.
The sounds around him were like waves, one after another, and the endless sea of tribulations formed by the thirty-six Thunder God were all displayed before Xu Long's eyes.
Within this isolated space, electric arcs flickered, and lightning was the only constant. There was no distinction between day and night, nor between the four seasons of wind and rain; there was only endless lightning and flashes of electricity.
They illuminated this space brightly, and streaks of lightning divided the center of the city into two layers, the upper layer resembling the sky.
Lightning flashes occasionally streaked across the ground, and the lower level, like the earth itself, was filled with countless arcs of electricity flowing through it.
Xu Long was surrounded by a sea of lightning, with wave after wave of lightning striking him.
The dazzling bolts of lightning intertwined tightly, sparks and arcs instantly stirred by the lightning, the sudden surge of electricity almost shattering the sky.
Within this space, there was only an endless sea of lightning, with violent energy filling every corner of the Center.
The Heaven Patroler went to great lengths to trap the Ancestral Spirit; with thirty-six Thunder God present, the Center would forever be filled with lightning.
The Ancestral Spirit within would be trapped, unable even to differentiate into different Dharma Body.
The thirty-six Thunder God revealed their true forms, and boundless natural power appeared at their Center.
As soon as Xu Long entered, he heard muffled rumbling and cracking sounds, like the roar of ten thousand horses galloping or the furious tremors of a collapsing mountain.
With another deafening roar, lightning and arcs of electricity surged forth like a tidal wave.
The scattered arcs of electricity around them seemed to receive a command and began to converge towards Xu Long.
Wave after wave gathered amidst the lightning; this was the violent energy conjured by the Thunder God, the most powerful and intense energy being massively concentrated at the Center.
When they surged up, they seemed to huddle together, forming a sea, trapping the cultivators within them.
The lightning in Xu Long grew brighter and brighter, and he was clearly seen as an anomaly within it.
The lightning that gathered was trying to trap him completely, and it wanted to enjoy a low-budget version of the Ancestral Spirit's treatment.
As the incoming lightning rapidly gathered, Xu Long, at the center of the sea of lightning, could already feel the extremely violent energy.
The energy here is far more intense and powerful than the sea of fire we just witnessed; it is the most ferocious and masculine energy in the world.
This is the right to command the Origin Will, the Dao that comes from nature.
God of Thunder!
The incoming lightning surged like the sea, instantly enveloping Xu Long.
Thunder rumbled in Xu Long's ears, and lightning flashed in his eyes. It was as if he had fallen into a sea of tribulations, and a huge sense of suffocation rose in his heart.
As the sea of lightning relentlessly pressed in, those deeply immersed within it felt increasingly suffocated, even tempted to leap up and spiral away.
But at this moment, Xu Long managed to control his body, which was trying to escape, knowing that countless bolts of lightning were raging overhead.
If they try to break through, they will be Cable from above while in mid-air.
They will be trapped by electric arcs and a sea of lightning, truly finding themselves in a dilemma.
The lightning that surged forth was like a vortex, as if a giant hand were stirring it within.
Xu Long, caught in the vortex, was swept up by a powerful force, surrounded by surging energy as he rose and fell.
The energy gathered grew stronger and stronger, making his body appear taller and taller until, in an instant, he was close to the lightning above his head.
The lightning in Xu Long suddenly lit up, as if it had been triggered by something, stirring up violent energy within the sea of lightning.
As the light rapidly magnified in his eyes, Xu Long felt himself being locked onto by a gaze, and the rolling lightning above his head instantly poured down.
Countless bolts of lightning seemed to tear through the sky, crossing from beyond the heavens, unleashing their violent energy upon Xu Long's body.
The sound of "click-clack" rang in his ears, and Xu Long's heart immediately filled with alarm.
He instinctively raised the curtain to defend himself, and as the curtain appeared, an arc of electricity suddenly shot up from beneath his feet, carrying his body out of the sea of lightning like a spring up from dry land.
Before Xu Long could react, the lightning overhead was already upon him.
boom!
A tremendous sound reverberated through the sea of thunder.
A massive bolt of lightning instantly pierced through the curtain wall's defenses, and violent energy surged forth from outside.
The crackling sound rang in Xu Long's ears along with the lightning. His magical Magic Power seemed to have completely stopped, and he could no longer find his own Magic Power in the extremely strong and intense energy.
The lightning bolt struck with unparalleled power. Although it was momentarily blocked by the curtain wall, the remaining intense energy was still released into Xu Long's body.
When the violent energy entered his body, he trembled all over within the curtain wall, feeling as if he had been shaken by lightning. He could only use his will to manipulate the sword light within the sea of lightning.
As the will surged forth from the sea of lightning, it was instantly captured by the lightning, and the continuous arcs of electricity quickly condensed into a power grid.
A powerful flow of energy circulated between the densely packed holes in the net, completely sealing off this area.
Only then did Xu Long realize how tightly the Ancestral Spirit had been sealed. His Indestructible Will wanted to be the first to break through the net holes.
The flowing lightning suddenly descended upon the Indestructible Will, piercing out like a sharp sword.
Lightning flashed in Xu Long's mind, and the image fed back by his will was exceptionally clear in his mind.
A deafening roar erupted in his mind, sending waves crashing through his Sea of Consciousness, and a piercing pain coursed through Xu Long's soul.
He couldn't help but clench his teeth, the flush on his face vanished in an instant, and the excruciating pain in his soul made his face turn deathly pale, with fine beads of sweat appearing on his forehead under the extreme heat.
At this time, he was besieged from both inside and outside, and was in dire straits. He could only endure it, otherwise he would be in danger of being overthrown in the sea of thunder.
Indestructible Will will surged through the net, ignoring the arcs of electricity clinging to it. Xu Long endured the excruciating pain as he searched for the sword light amidst the sea of lightning.
As the electric arc flowed through his will, Xu Long's mind was filled with illusions, one after another, huge human figures standing above his Sea of Consciousness.
Their heads were like dragons, their faces like fierce ghosts, their voices like the Kui Ox, and their bodies like demon gods; their appearances were completely different from those of cultivators.
He was clad in black iron armor, carried five-colored array flags on his back, and had a purple iron chain around each of his arms. The armor was engraved with celestial star patterns.
Those eyes shimmered with endless lightning, and every move they made influenced the rules of the world.
At this moment, the Power of Laws was not in the world, but rather seemed to reside within their bodies.
As these figures stood in Xu Long's mind, they all exuded an aura of deathly stillness.
After the lightning in their eyes subsided, Xu Long felt only numbness and stiffness in their eyes, exactly like those of the ancient gods.
Having been trapped in the Center for countless years, he must have lost all his divine spirit. Now, he is more like a living dead than Thunder God.
After these people appeared, a wave suddenly surged in Xu Long's Sea of Consciousness, and the intense pain in his soul began to intensify, causing Xu Long to feel a surge of anxiety.
But the more critical the moment, the less he could afford to lose his composure. He knew that if he did, the Thunder God Phantom would shatter his Sea of Consciousness, causing him to fall into a state of mental confusion.
He first stabilized his Dao Heart, transmitting a calming energy that quickly stabilized his Sea of Consciousness.
Just as his Sea of Consciousness was about to stabilize, the several illusory figures that had appeared launched an attack, and huge waves surged once again in the calm Sea of Consciousness.
The purple iron chains in the figure's hands lashed out in unison, and beneath the thick arms were withered claws.
The flesh and skin on those claws were all attached to the bones, with no flesh or blood filling the space beneath the skin.
Only crisscrossing grooves between the joints, roughly resembling chicken claws, combined with the terrifying appearance of the figure, cannot help but send chills down one's spine.
As the purple iron chain shot out, a huge bolt of lightning appeared in his Sea of Consciousness.
It turned out that the purple iron chain was formed from bolts of lightning, which were forcibly twisted together by a hand resembling a chicken claw.
As it shot out, it seemed to scatter dozens of bolts of lightning, causing a strong shock in the Sea of Consciousness.
Xu Long then realized the power of the Thunder God, who must have known all along that the will and True Spirit of cultivators possessed an invisible might.
Its sudden appearance was unpredictable, so they simply condensed a lightning net to envelop that invisible will.
Willpower is inevitably severely damaged by violent energy, and the endless arcs of electricity are tightly wrapped around it.
No matter how a cultivator's will or True Spirit tries to escape, the electric arcs attached to them will inevitably enter the cultivator's Sea of Consciousness, delivering a fatal blow to the cultivator's most vulnerable soul!
These methods are truly interconnected; even knowing the hunter is lying in ambush, the prey still recklessly breaks through the electric fence in order to escape.
He had only been in the sea of thunder for a short time, and his Indestructible Will had been tempered by Divine Punishment Lightning Tribulation, making him an indelible existence in the world. However, he was still sealed off by the Law of Nature of the Thunder God.
How did the Ancestral Spirit, trapped in the Center for countless years, manage to protect themselves from the numerous blockades imposed on the Thunder God?
Xu Long used himself as an experiment, experiencing a low-end version of Thunder God's Lockdown, and exclaimed in dismay at these methods of sealing, "How miserable!" Yet he had no idea how the True Spirit had endured countless years within them.
He now faces several figures in his Sea of Consciousness. When the figures attack, their forms remain unchanged, but they emit countless arcs of electricity.
These electric arcs emanated from the iron chains, carrying a violent energy that threatened to turn Xu Long's Sea of Consciousness upside down and completely sever his soul between the chains.
Relying on several purple iron chains, Thunder God truly ran Wuji in his Sea of Consciousness.
They were born from lightning, and when they wielded wind and thunder, they possessed an aura of divine might.
At this moment, what appeared in the cultivator's mind was the desire to sever Xu Long's soul in an instant!
A series of muffled booms echoed in his mind, and as each rumble of thunder burst forth, countless waves surged within his Sea of Consciousness. Xu Long was determined not to let them wreak havoc on his soul.
After his Dao Heart was completely stabilized, a thought arose in his mind, and a stream of light instantly swept out from his surging Sea of Consciousness, in which the cultivator's Wisdom Sword bloomed in an instant!
Clang!
When the Wisdom Sword emerged from the sea, it carried an innate aura of power; now, within the Sea of Consciousness, it was absolutely in control.
The Wisdom Sword cannot leave the body to fight enemies; it is a weapon residing within the Sea of Consciousness.
Once a cultivator embarks on the path of cultivation, it is responsible for eliminating any demonic obstacles and evil thoughts that arise. It is the helmsman in the Sea of Suffering and Calamity and the guarantee on the cultivator's path of progress.
In a flash, it soared out into the air with a proud roar, then stirred the energy within its Sea of Consciousness.
As the sword twisted, it gathered all the scattered energy together, tightening it like a large rope.
Then, the Wisdom Sword deftly twirled on it, and with two "whoosh" sounds, a large amount of energy beneath it was completely severed.
The violent energy that had arrived with such ferocity was now scattered and dispersed under the sword's might.
The Wisdom Sword in the air emitted another sword aura, which seemed to survey the mind, smoothing out all the waves in the Sea of Consciousness wherever it passed.
Pieces of lightning were forced out by the sword energy and then retreated to the iron chains of the Thunder God.
The several Thunder God stood there stunned, their expressions showing surprise.
They had seen unusual phenomena in a cultivator's Sea of Consciousness before, but this was the first time in their cultivation careers that Wisdom Sword had been used to sever an attack.
The power emanating from that Wisdom Sword greatly surprised Thunder God; the nimble swordplay and chilling sword energy were executed flawlessly.
It is likely that this remnant of the ancient era is a descendant who has received the true teachings of Sword Dao.
However, they had been trapped in the core for too long, and the minds of the Thunder God had become somewhat outdated, their understanding of the changes in the outside world still stuck in the past.
As for Xu Long, an ancient remnant with bizarre methods, they now know that they cannot be judged by common sense; the only way is to use swift and decisive measures to annihilate him!
This was the order of the Heaven Patroler, and no matter how many years have passed, it has remained in their minds for a long time.
Seeing that Thunder God was showing signs of regrouping, Xu Long stirred up the Wisdom Sword and raised it in the air. Before Thunder God could make any move, he began his counterattack.
Within his Sea of Consciousness, which was his own domain, Xu Long didn't need to worry about the Thunder God within when he raised the Wisdom Sword.
The Wisdom Sword was designed to cut through illusions and shatter demonic obstacles; once it took flight, it locked onto the figures of several Thunder God.
A great roar arose above the Sea of Consciousness, and the incoming Wisdom Sword instantly transformed into a giant sword.
In Xu Long's mind, it was like the universe, and now, as the giant sword fell, it was about to cut everything down.
The Thunder God below immediately felt immense pressure, never expecting such a ruthless method to exist within the remnant's Sea of Consciousness.
A clanging sound echoed through his Sea of Consciousness as the colored iron chain hanging from his arm suddenly shot out.
Several iron chains intertwined in the air, and then, like a giant umbrella of lightning, came to a steady stop above Thunder God's head.
As the giant sword slashed down, lightning flashed along with it, carrying a fierce and powerful force as it carved out its own territory.
A loud clang suddenly rang out, and the giant umbrella with its intertwined purple iron chains shattered in mid-air. The enormous sound reverberated across the calm sea, instantly creating ripples.
The surging energy rippled out in waves, and after the giant sword struck, it rapidly shrank in mid-air before twisting its blade and attacking the several Thunder God once more.
