The Dharma banner above their heads rose high, like a giant umbrella opening and closing.
Behind Deng Shouchong his body, and purple flames burned fiercely from the carriage, its ferocious aura seemingly originating from ancient times.
Meanwhile, Yuan Changwu, standing to the side, had already revealed his true form. At this moment, the Second Master Yuan's aura was truly domineering; he was a rare creature from heaven and earth, a Luan Crane with a dark body.
He was extremely tall and thin. When he stood in the sea of lightning, he spread his wings on both sides and slashed through the lightning like a guillotine.
Countless arcs of electricity raged around him, the purple lightning and dark wings complementing each other, making him look from afar like a Luan Crane undergoing Tribulation Transcendence amidst lightning.
When Branch Master Chen arrived, he merged with his Dharma Body.
As a fine mist rose from the Center, the lightning in the sea of thunder was drawn towards it. Huge raindrops emanated from the mist, emanating a powerful Power of Laws.
At this moment, Xu Long clearly sensed that when Branch Master Chen unleashed the laws of heaven and earth, the aura of those laws was remarkably similar to that of Thunder God.
They are all forces of nature, energies born from beyond the heavens!
The Thunder God is a being from beyond the heavens, a god of thunder and lightning formed from Hundun.
Therefore, he was born with the ability to control lightning, and his cultivation level was profound.
It was a powerful force in ancient times, so its lightning energy carries divine might.
Aside from lacking the immense divine power inherent in Thunder God's energy, Branch Master Chen's fundamental energy is similar to Thunder God's.
Thunder God is formed from Hundun lightning, so wouldn't Branch Master Chen be a cloud of mist...?
Xu Long pondered Chen Yuping's origins, and suddenly he remembered the Nebula in his Celestial Phenomenon sphere.
Of course, it had already changed drastically by then. After being Fusion with the Celestial Phenomenon, it looked more like a vortex layer in the Milky Way Celestial Phenomenon.
Its body is also a mix of purple and red, and its origin is closely related to Branch Master Chen.
Seeing Branch Master Chen transform into clouds to fight the Thunder God, Xu Long wondered: Could Branch Master Chen be a condensation of this Innate Essence Qi?
If Thunder God were completely absorbed by the Nebula, wouldn't a Thunder God himself be born within the Celestial Phenomenon?
Xu Long was startled by his own thoughts. He suddenly had a hunch about what the Nebula in the Celestial Phenomenon were brewing.
I don't know if it's good or bad for me, and whether I can truly control the energy it condenses.
Of course, he didn't dare to ask Branch Master Chen about this matter again, and just took it one step at a time.
At least so far, the energy absorbed by the Nebula is changing the Celestial Phenomenon. Although I haven't obtained the energy that has been condensed within it, I am still looking forward to seeing what it will give birth to.
Before Xu Long could think it over again, Branch Master Chen had already revealed his true form.
The raindrops scattered in the clouds in an instant, and as the power of nature surged forth, the drifting raindrops were mixed with endless killing intent!
When Yuan Changhe saw his second brother bathed in lightning, he rushed towards him in an instant.
The two brothers stood proudly amidst the sea of thunder, one entirely dark and the other entirely gray.
Standing among the cultivators, he truly possessed the air of a crane standing out from the crowd.
These two brothers were truly extraordinary beings, and when their true forms were revealed, their demonic nature was completely undetectable. They had indeed inherited the mantle of the immortal master and possessed an extraordinary demeanor.
However, because they were extremely tall and thin, they instantly attracted the firepower of the Thunder God when they stood in the crowd, and "boom" sounds kept exploding in the black ash.
At that moment, lightning arcs burst forth simultaneously, enveloping both Luan Crane within a sea of lightning.
The Yuan Brothers were now subjected to a powerful electric shock, their slender bodies trembling violently in the intense energy.
Seeing the Yuan Brothers being repeatedly struck by lightning, the cultivators below couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Even Xu Long couldn't help but shake his head. "So tall and still swaggering under the lightning! You'll get struck by lightning, won't you? Serves you right for being so cocky!"
At this point, everyone had already assigned their own faction, each standing firmly in their own territory within the sea of thunder.
When the cultivators gathered in the midst of the crisis, they surprisingly displayed a rather fierce aura. They were all desperate fugitives who had survived in the Land of Exile, and many of them began to become ruthless under the threat of death.
At the core, they were already surrounded by enemies on all sides. Only by breaking through the sea of thunder and rescuing the Ancestral Spirit would they have a glimmer of hope.
Perhaps he can even return to the realms beyond, allowing his long-standing stagnation to ease.
Deng Shouchong is right. The bloodline of our ancestors and descendants should be displayed beyond the heavens; Land of Exile cannot confine us.
We must reclaim everything that belongs to us, pass on the torch and civilization once again, and write the history of our ancestors and beyond ourselves!
"Break free! Return to the heavens!"
We will return to the heavens!
"Return to the realms beyond!"
Roars of anger erupted from the crowd.
Fueled by a rage that had been suppressed for countless years, it erupted from the brink of Extremis.
It represents the thoughts in the monk's heart; it represents the strongest desire of the descendants of their ancestors.
Having been banished from beyond the heavens, after countless years, we will eventually return to beyond the heavens.
May the bloodline of our ancestors and descendants be revealed once again throughout the myriad realms!
The roars from the crowd surged like a tide, the invisible sound transforming into a force that surged toward lightning in all directions, causing even the lightning in the river of lightning to falter.
Xu Long observed the intertwined lightning among the crowd; they had now arrived at the Ancestral Spirit's sealed location.
Logically, the Ancestral Spirit should be nearby, so why wasn't that conspicuous golden light seen?
Before he could even process what was happening, the lightning overhead was pushed aside by a Super Strength, and the lightning on both sides automatically rolled away.
After overcoming numerous obstacles, a golden light suddenly burst forth, its brilliance dazzling overhead, and its power amplified by the lightning.
It shot out like a sharp sword, easily cutting through the blockade set up by the Thunder God.
He conveyed his gaze, which had been buried for countless years, into the eyes of all the cultivators. Everyone present was touched by the golden light, and their morale was immediately boosted.
As the golden light swept through the crowd, shouts rose like waves, and the fervor in the hearts of the cultivators lingered for a long time.
Xu Long stared intently at the golden light, as if he saw a gigantic magic seal in the sky.
The seal existed on the golden light, acting as a suppressive force, its radiant light completely enveloping the golden light.
The sheer force within it was truly beyond comprehension.
The golden light was located beneath the enormous seal.
No matter how strong the binding power of the seal was, the golden light that had just shot out seemed completely unconcerned, dissecting from the outer edge of the sea of lightning.
When the golden light and the Dharma seal appeared simultaneously, the world's rules in this area at the Center were reversed.
Both of these energies originated from beyond the heavens, carrying an ancient and mysterious aura. After being preserved in history for countless years, they reappeared before everyone's eyes at this moment.
"Fellow Mo Yu! With the Center Thunder God in the center and the Heaven Patroler looming behind, our only hope is to unite and break through the Thunder God God's obstruction. Simultaneously, we must send someone to break the seal on the Ancestral Spirit. I am willing to stay and hold off the Thunder God. You may take the Eight Trigrams Formation Diagram to break the seal on the Ancestral Spirit behind us!"
"City Lord!"
"No need for further words, my mind is made up! I urge you to act swiftly, fellow Daoist!"
When the city lord saw the Thunder God gods gathered together, he knew things were going badly, but he had no other choice but to rush through the sea of thunder.
The golden light overhead must have been there to guide everyone.
Reminded by the golden light, the city lord solemnly spoke to Xu Long beside him.
Xu Long was clearly startled by the city lord's words, and he subconsciously looked at the golden light on the horizon.
The golden light, which had originally pierced straight through the lightning, now shone upon the city lord.
The divine bird totem above the city lord's head soared high into the sky, intertwining endlessly with a golden light.
Below him, the city lord seemed to be deep in thought, controlling the divine bird totem as it flew continuously under the golden light.
The fiery red divine bird rapidly expanded, its wings spreading out like a true Phoenix.
It proudly raised its head and unleashed a majestic roar amidst the sea of lightning:
"Bah!"
The divine bird now displayed the pride inherent in its bloodline; it was a voice that came from beyond the heavens, a totem power it possessed during the Dark Ages.
After being worshipped by our ancient ancestors for countless years, it is now fully displaying its power!
The divine bird's long tail swept across the sea of lightning, with countless arcs of electricity clinging to its back.
As it spread its wings and swept across the sea of lightning, a scalding heat flowed from its palm.
This is the innate energy of a divine bird reborn from the flames.
Seeing that all the cultivators in the arena were engaged in the great battle, the city lord waved his sleeve at Xu Long, then stretched out his arm and pointed behind the sea of lightning, saying that it was the place where the Ancestral Spirit had sealed.
After the city lord waved his sleeve, an exquisite Eight Trigrams Formation Diagram appeared in the air.
Xu Long's eyes lit up when he saw the array diagram, and a feeling of surprise and joy rose in his heart.
He had high hopes for this battle formation created by Fuxi!
After the city lord handed him the small Eight Trigrams Formation Diagram, Xu Long accepted it without hesitation.
Although he didn't know why the city lord would hand over the precious Eight Trigrams Formation Diagram so easily, when he saw the Eight Trigrams Formation Diagram appearing within it, Xu Long felt that he should accept the diagram!
Those mysterious and ancient runes were something Xu Long also craved.
Knowing full well that carrying the Eight Trigrams Formation Diagram in the Thunder Sea would make him a target of everyone, Xu Long couldn't help but accept the diagram as he sensed the strange changes caused by the rotation of the Yin-Yang Map.
When the city lord saw Xu Long put away the array diagram, he felt a sense of loss and melancholy.
This Eight Trigrams Formation Diagram was passed down from the first ancient inhabitants and has always been a treasure for stabilizing Phoenix City.
The treasure that passed on the flame of cultivation and spread the civilization of cultivators has been preserved in his hands for tens of thousands of years.
Now that it is to be given to an outsider, even though it is the will of the Ancestral Spirit, the city lord still feels somewhat emotional.
However, he also knew that Xu Long was the most powerful cultivator in the core area, and that the most powerful cultivator was needed to break out of the sea of thunder and open the Ancestral Spirit seal.
Xu Long's annihilation of the Thunder God along the way was enough to make people wary, and the city lord also remembered that there was a Earth Immortal " Fellow Daoist Xu " with Xu Long!
We can only hope that they can join forces to break the seal, and that the Ancestral Spirit will intervene to prevent the collapse of heaven and earth. Otherwise, we will surely die in the wrath of the Heaven Patroler.
As Xu Long received the small Eight Trigrams Formation Diagram, the sea of thunder from all around surged toward him.
The crackling sound of electric arcs echoed in the Center, Thunder God also sensed the aura of the Eight Trigrams Formation Diagram.
That aura was the same as the golden light under the Heaven Patroler Dharma Seal. They naturally knew the power of the Eight Trigrams Formation Diagram and had to give the utmost respect to something personally created by Feng Fuxi!
Rumble!
Purple lightning suddenly surged up from the sea of lightning, its flickering light illuminating the Center.
As the Thunder God surrounded him, a vast divine might descended upon Xu Long.
At this moment, the lightning energy was indeed comparable to Divine Punishment Lightning Tribulation, and it seemed that they had already seized the power of the Origin Will.
Within this vast sea of lightning, the Thunder God reigned supreme. More than a dozen purple lightning bolts, like iron chains, swept out, enveloping Xu Long with clusters of electric arcs and thunderous fire.
As Xu Long fought inside, he immediately felt the pressure increase dramatically. Before he could launch an attack, a sudden bright light appeared before his eyes, and a fiery red light instantly covered the heavy thunder and fire.
Phew!
A high-pitched phoenix cry resounded through the sea of thunder, and its fiery red wings spread wide, covering the sky and earth.
The divine bird seemed to awaken from ancient history. Despite the many years that had passed, when it was summoned at this moment, it still carried the invincible power it once possessed.
At this moment, sensing the will of its ancestors and descendants, it is determined to fight for hope!
The divine bird totem soaring through the air opened a path for him. The city lord stared intently at Xu Long, his eyes filled with extremely complex emotions.
"Take care of yourself!"
"I will never fail in my mission!"
The city lord solemnly clasped his hands in a fist salute to Xu Long, Xu Long returned the salute with equal solemnity.
The two parted ways amidst the sea of lightning, and under the cover of purple lightning, Xu Long's figure disappeared into the depths of the sea of lightning.
Rumble!
In an instant, they entered the depths of the sea of thunder, and the sound of thunderclaps filled their ears. The rhythm of the thunderclaps was like giants galloping towards them, as if someone was chasing them, and a sense of urgency suddenly arose behind them.
Xu Long swept across the sea of lightning, creating Milky Way Celestial Phenomenon. When a sea of stars appeared within the lightning, all the violent energy around him was absorbed by the vortex.
The vortex looked very strange, with surging lightning lingering around Xu Long, and the rolling thunder sounding like waves crashing against rocks.
Without the Thunder God organization, Xu Long broke through the lightning in the sea of thunder one by one.
The deeper Xu Long went, the clearer the aura emanating from the Eight Trigrams Formation Diagram became, and the golden light above his head grew increasingly dazzling.
When his will reached out, he discovered that the Eight Trigrams Formation Diagram and the golden light indeed came from the same source. This was a treasure created by the Ancestral Spirit, and also the opportunity to break the seal and save him.
As the golden light within the sea of thunder grew stronger, the Eight Trigrams Formation Diagram in Xu Long became increasingly restless.
It even began to operate on its own; a single glance from the Ancestral Spirit was enough to make the most precious treasures of the world tremble.
