Ding ding ding!
After a series of metallic clangs, the area was now illuminated by purple lightning.
The purple lightning disappeared into the sea of thunder, and a streak of light swirled across the sky. Xu Long had already fled when the lightning struck.
The successful defense of the sword light had bought him time, and he knew that the thirty-six Thunder God gods in the Center must be able to sense each other.
If you have annihilated one of the Thunder God, the other three Thunder God will definitely react violently.
The sword light overhead was defending against them, and Xu Long had already run away by the time they attacked.
At this moment, the three Thunder God behind them each abandoned their battle with the Earth Immortal, and the three purple lightning bolts that had just shot off all turned back.
However, the three Thunder God in the arena had very solemn expressions, and the area that had just been illuminated was now lit up by the lightning.
Apart from the violent energy and rampant sword aura, Thunder God's shadow was nowhere to be seen.
They were of the same origin, and at first they couldn't believe that a Thunder God had been completely annihilated.
After all, they have existed in the core for countless years, and neither time nor history has destroyed them. In the sea of lightning, they are truly Undying and Indestructible Body.
But then another Thunder God was annihilated right before their eyes. Although they didn't witness the process, the result still shocked them immensely.
The ancient remnants who offended Thunder God used rather bizarre methods, actually managing to annihilate one Thunder God right under the noses of the other Thunder God!
Only then did they have to believe that they had encountered a formidable enemy, a situation they had never faced in countless years.
They looked at each other, and for a moment, a hint of difficulty appeared in their eyes.
Seeing that the Thunder God was showing signs of withdrawing his troops, the three Earth Immortal all breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing that Xu Long had already fled, and that one of the Thunder God who had fought him was nowhere to be found, the three Thunder God realized that they had just attacked the location where Xu Long had been.
They suspected that the Thunder God was likely in grave danger under Xu Long's command, and the Earth Immortal were all greatly shocked.
The city lord did not fight to the death during the battle with the Thunder God. Firstly, his own combat strength was limited, and secondly, he knew that there were a great many Thunder God, so he only needed to hold them off.
Once Deng Shouchong finds the place where the Ancestral Spirit is sealed, opening the seal and dealing with the Thunder God will be a piece of cake.
But Xu Long had no idea about all those plans. He was only focused on replenishing the energy needed for the Celestial Phenomenon, so he quickly fled after annihilating the Thunder God.
Thunder God is already enraged; a calamity is sure to ensue in the sea of thunder.
These thirty-six Thunder God were suppressing the Ancestral Spirit within the sea of thunder. If the location of the Ancestral Spirit could not be found, and the cultivators were to be taken advantage of by the Thunder God...
Upon realizing this, the city lord's heart sank, but at that moment, a talisman in his sleeve shattered.
After flipping his hand to retrieve the shattered talisman, a message entered his True Spirit, and the city lord immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
He immediately transmitted his voice to the three Earth Immortal present:
"The cultivators ahead have found the Ancestral Spirit's sealed location; we should flee immediately!"
Seeing that something was amiss, the three of them headed in the direction Xu Long had fled as soon as the city lord finished speaking.
It surged ceaselessly within the sea of lightning, its escape incredibly swift.
The Thunder God only saw the four cultivators vanish in an instant, leaving behind only the four streaks of light they had drawn.
After standing there for a moment, all the Thunder God realized that this was no small matter. The remnants of the ancient times actually had the means to completely annihilate the Thunder God!
Furthermore, the direction in which the group of cultivators fled was unusual, and all signs indicated that the group of cultivators had come prepared.
Having guarded the Ancestral Spirit for countless years, the Thunder God have never encountered such a chaotic situation.
They intended to gather all the Thunder God in the Center to fight the enemy, but they were worried about falling into the trap set by the remnants of the ancient times.
What if the remnants of the ancient times attack the Ancestral Spirit ' seal while all thirty-six Thunder God are out?
But if we can't stop them now and allow these ancient remnants to break into the core sealed area, wouldn't the sealed Ancestral Spirit face even more trouble?
Regardless of the outcome, the thirty-six Thunder God who guarded the Ancestral Spirit at the Center will ultimately be held accountable by the Heaven Patroler.
The mere thought of the Heaven Patroler's sunken nasolabial folds and his cold, rigid eyes sent a chill down the spines of all the Thunder God.
Torn between two choices, Thor was caught in a dilemma. As a group of ancient remnants broke in, the power in the Center was already unbalanced. Thunder God struggled with his inner turmoil.
His eyes flashed with electric arcs, and his mind was in turmoil. The surrounding lightning seemed to sense the Thunder God's will, and surged endlessly within the sea of lightning.
Just as Thunder God was struggling with this decision, a thought came from the sky.
As the immense power descended from the sky, it caused a surge of energy within the sea of thunder, unleashing countless arcs of electricity and bolts of lightning.
Layer upon layer of lightning and fire raged across the field, making the momentum gathered by the Thunder God seem like a wave meeting a tsunami in comparison.
The overwhelming intent, imbued with the vast power of heaven, descended as if the Origin Will had opened its eyes.
There was not a trace of emotion in his eyes, only endless indifference and majesty.
"Stop them at all costs!"
A chilling voice boomed in the hearts of all the Thunder God, like a raging storm rising from a calm lake.
An invisible voice caused all the Thunder God to prostrate themselves on the ground, and the lightning flowing through their bodies paused for a moment.
The rules of heaven and earth seem to be reversed here, and even the lightning with its natural power ceases.
Despite the countless years that had passed, and the fact that they had almost forgotten their past memories, the Thunder God still couldn't help but feel a "familiar tremor" rise in their hearts upon hearing that voice.
Having been trapped in Land of Exile for countless years, they knew that this was a voice from beyond the heavens, a voice from the primordial era, a voice from that special time.
This is also the voice of an ancient immortal!
The coldness in that voice was not a deliberate act, but rather an arrogance cultivated from contempt for all living beings in the myriad realms and the slaughter of countless powerful figures.
This is a powerful being who ended the old era; this is an immortal who refused to bow to heaven and earth!
"Promise!"
As the immense divine might above them gradually dissipated, the Thunder God dared to rise and acknowledge the order. Until then, no one dared to raise their heads and glance at the sky.
It felt as if someone was watching their every move from outside the Center, putting immense pressure on their minds.
After the command was given, the Thunder God gods finally stopped hesitating and conflicted.
Previously, they were worried that the remnants of the ancient times might take advantage of the emergence of the thirty-six Thunder God to lure them away from their stronghold.
But by this time, the Heaven Patroler's orders had already been issued, and he must be present outside the core.
Whether war breaks out or not, the Heaven Patroler will be responsible for any unforeseen events that occur.
Surely no one would dare to defy that bronze sword?
But for some reason, the Thunder God immediately thought of that strange cultivator, the one who had been immortal and indestructible for countless years, and who had completely annihilated the Thunder God!
No! Even he is no match for the Heaven Patroler!
A thunderous roar echoed through the sea of thunder. After receiving a clear command from the Heaven Patroler, the Thunder God began to mobilize all the energy at the Center.
Suddenly, a deafening clap of thunder echoed throughout the area, and arcs of electricity surged and crackled in the Center.
Countless bolts of lightning appeared within the sea of lightning, the most dazzling of which were the dozens of purple lightning bolts.
When they appeared in the sea of lightning, they attracted countless arcs of electricity to converge upon them.
A long river of lightning was rapidly forming, with flashes of electricity sparkling within it.
Within it, countless bolts of lightning surged, and endless flashes roared.
Because of an order, the thirty-six Thunder God (now thirty-four) who had been guarding the core for countless years were all dispatched.
The river of lightning they formed stopped at a spot shimmering with golden light, within which purple lightning continuously appeared.
A powerful aura emanated from the river of lightning, and a scene of a large army gathering slowly unfolded within the sea of thunder.
After the Thunder God departed, another roar echoed from outside the core area.
The Heaven Patroler's voice seemed to carry a hint of impatience, and a surge of powerful Magic Power was being unleashed outside the light barrier at the center of the sky.
Points of crimson light seeped into the sea of lightning, causing a violent tremor within Gai Xin.
" Feng Fuxi! You are doomed!"
Figures floated above their heads on a screen of light, resisting the massive vortex of heat.
The roar of the magma waves and the angry voice of the Heaven Patroler echoed together, lingering in the Center for a long time.
Xu Long naturally sensed the chaos caused by the sea of thunder, and during his escape, he closely followed the trail left by Deng Shouchong and his group.
Along the way, he discovered that the lightning energy at the Center was also gathering in the direction he was heading.
Countless arcs of lightning raged along the way, as if summoned, each churning its energy and converging in one direction.
No matter how fast Xu Long was, the electric current gathering around him could always keep up with his speed.
As he extended his will, a whooshing sound came from behind, and a gray shadow suddenly attacked from behind.
Xu Long was shocked: Such speed! This is Yuan Changhe's true form!
Why did he transform into his true form at this moment? And beneath the gray shadow were two other figures.
Those were the city lord and Chen Yuping. Xu Long's thoughts had barely formed when the city lord transmitted a message to him:
"Fellow Mo Yu! All the Thunder God from the Center have gathered at the Ancestral Spirit's sealed location. At that time, we will need everyone to work together with one heart!"
No sooner had the city lord finished speaking than an angry voice rang out from above everyone's heads.
The sound descended from the sky like rolling thunder, an invisible force grinding down inch by inch into the Center.
Everyone immediately felt a strong sense of oppression, as if mountains were collapsing above their heads, causing their hearts to sink into heaviness in an instant.
Upon hearing the words " Feng Fuxi is doomed," the four men's expressions changed drastically.
Xu Long instinctively reached out to touch the sky, for he had seen the methods of the Heaven Patroler in the memories of the Blackwater City Lord.
That Heaven-Slaying One Sword would be a piece of cake for dealing with them.
From Blackwater City to Phoenix City, from ancient gods to the Thunder God of the Heart, the Heaven Patroler has always been a shadow in Xu Long's heart.
That sword strike, carrying destructive power, gave him an overwhelming sense of oppression.
He felt that the Heaven Patroler, imbued with the vast might of the heavens, were watching them at all times.
He was like a true celestial being who inspected the heavens, possessing supreme authority, and every move one made was under his control.
No matter what he did in the Land of Exile, he was coldly staring at him, constantly scrutinizing the actions of this group of ancient remnants with contempt.
Upon hearing the roar, Xu Long feared that the Sky Heaven Patroler would unleash a sword strike and annihilate them all.
The other three looked even more panicked than Xu Long when they heard the Heaven Patroler's voice.
At this point, the city lord no longer needed to give any instructions; everyone knew that the only way to survive was to rescue the Ancestral Spirit.
The Heaven Patroler was just outside the Center, closely following behind the group, who were constantly exposed to the threat of death.
Although his strong hostility was directed at the Ancestral Spirit, the city lord and his group all knew that it was the Heaven Patroler was showing contempt for them!
The Earth Immortal Venerable fled without any grace from the core, leaving four light shields particularly conspicuous in the river of lightning.
The four of them moved toward the location of the Ancestral Spirit with a tacit understanding, leaving only a long trail in the sky that swayed in the sea of lightning.
Xu Long and his group arrived at the heart of the place with heavy hearts. The deeper they went, the stronger the oppressive aura became.
The flashing light of the electric arcs grew increasingly bright, and the river of lightning, having converged, paused at this point.
Countless arcs of electricity flashed through the air, illuminating the entire world. Upon closer inspection, Deng Shouchong and his group, who had arrived earlier, were already surrounded by heavy arcs of electricity.
Countless bolts of lightning surrounded them, and from a distance, it looked as if thousands of ropes were being pulled out.
It swept into the cultivators' formation with a violent energy, tearing them apart piece by piece.
Within the sea of lightning were dozens of purple lightning bolts, which moved through the sea of lightning like dragons.
The elusive figure was difficult to spot; only the occasional flashes of purple lightning could pinpoint its location.
When Xu Long saw the dozens of purple lightning bolts, he thought to himself: This is bad! All thirty-four Thunder God at the core have been mobilized!
His expression turned bitter as the Heaven Patroler closed in from behind, while thirty-four Thunder God blocked his way from the front.
With no sign of the Ancestral Spirit yet, and facing threats from both sides, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a Extremis!
"Fellow Daoists! Charge out together! The Ancestral Spirit's sealing point is just behind us!"
Seeing Xu Long's expression, the city lord knew he was a little apprehensive, so he loudly encouraged him after gathering everyone together.
His words were not only a greeting to Xu Long and the two Earth Immortal, but also a message to all the cultivators present.
In this critical moment, the city lord knew that he had to share the hardships with everyone.
"Save our Ancestral Spirit! Our descendants must return to the heavens!"
After the city lord spoke, Deng Shouchong on the carriage, immediately roared back.
His hair was disheveled, his robes were stained with blood, and his temples were already streaked with white. There were traces of blood, not yet dried, at the corners of his mouth.
It was clear that he had activated the totem several times using secret techniques, but at this moment, his aura not only did not weaken, but instead grew stronger with each passing moment.
