"Finally... it's broken 10,000."
Dongfang Yueming took a deep breath and stared intently at the high-grade immortal technique he had just acquired.
[Superior Immortal Technique: World-Destroying Lightning Punishment!]
This is... a terrifying technique comparable to a Heavenly Immortal Realm expert!
[Point Allocation!]
[Ding! 50 Immortal Points consumed, Entry!]
[Ding! 150 Immortal Points consumed, Minor Accomplishment!]
[Ding! 250 Immortal Points consumed, Major Accomplishment!]
[Ding! 500 Immortal Points consumed, Perfection!]
"BOOM--!!!"
Within Dongfang Yueming's Sea of Consciousness, it seemed as if ten thousand bolts of Purple Firmament Divine Lightning were exploding simultaneously!
He had completely mastered that devastating Law of Thunder!
He could sense that if he wanted, he could trigger the Tianlei Tribulation with a single thought, turning the surrounding area into a sea of lightning and a purgatory!
"Not enough."
He glanced at the Daoist puzzle pieces on the panel.
[Progress of completing the low-grade Daoist technique "Nine Heavens Lightning Punishment Dao Scripture" puzzle:]
[1. Superior Core: World-Destroying Lightning Punishment (Perfection) -- Achieved!]
[2. Mid-grade auxiliary (requires 3 skills): Nine Firmaments Lightning Control True Art (Perfection), Void, Void.]
[3. Low-grade Basic Skills (Requires 9 skills): Palm Lightning (0/2, not yet Entry), Lightning Summoning Art (0/2, not yet Entry), Thunderclap Roar (0/2, not yet Entry), 6 vacancy slots.]
"We still need two mid-grade skills and six low-grade skills."
A glint of light flashed in Dongfang Yueming's eyes.
"Now that we've already Perfection the three lower-grade skills... let's max out these three skills as well!"
[Point Allocation!]
[Ding! 38 Immortal Points consumed, "Palm Lightning" Perfection!]
[Ding! Consumed 38 Immortal Points, "Lightning Summoning Art" Perfection!]
[Ding! 38 Immortal Points consumed, "Thunderclap Roar" Perfection!]
As he Perfection these basic immortal techniques, a mysterious resonance began to emerge within the Law of Thunder of his body!
Although he was still far from mastering the Daoist arts, the thrill of feeling as if he had touched the threshold of "True Immortal" filled him with excitement!
Just then!
"Boom--!"
The entire Wuhe Immortal City suddenly trembled violently!
A golden light curtain that stretched to the Heaven Reaching and the earth rose from all around the city, instantly sealing off the entire immortal city!
City-protecting formation activated!
Immediately afterwards, a roar filled with boundless killing intent and rage resounded through the sky!
"Who?! Who killed my son?!"
"Get out here right now!!!"
The terrifying pressure of Wang Batian, the Lord of the Black River City, Mid-stage Heaven Immortal, swept across the entire city like a tsunami!
Behind him, the heads of the other two major families, along with their respective Earth Immortal ancestors and elites, ascended into the sky with murderous intent!
"A city-wide manhunt! Dig three feet into the ground, we must find that murderer!"
"Better to kill a thousand innocent people than let one guilty person go free!"
The entire immortal city was instantly plunged into panic and chaos!
Sensing the undisguised killing intent, Dongfang Yueming slowly walked out of the secret room.
He looked up at the several figures in the sky that resembled gods and demons, and a cold smile curled at the corner of his lips.
"Mid-stage Heaven Immortal?"
"Perfect, I'll use you to test... my Perfection- level [World-Destroying Lightning Punishment]!"
but...
He glanced in the direction of the city lord's mansion.
At this very moment, the area is undefended, which is precisely...
"Since you've all come out in full force, don't blame me for... raiding your base from the opposite direction!"
With a swift movement, instead of fleeing, he transformed into a barely perceptible bolt of lightning and sped towards the city lord's treasury!
The atmosphere above Wuhe Immortal City was extremely oppressive.
"Report!"
A scout covered in blood stumbled and rushed towards Wang Batian.
"Lord! Something terrible has happened! The Zhao Family... the Zhao Family has been wiped out!"
"What?!"
Upon hearing this, the faces of the two family heads, Qian Family and Sun Family, who were following behind Wang Batian, instantly turned deathly pale!
Although the Zhao Family couldn't compare to the City Lord's Mansion, they still had a Perfected Earth Immortal presiding over them! And yet... they were wiped out?!
"That murderer... could it be Heaven Immortal?!"
The Qian Family patriarch's voice trembled.
"Impossible!" Wang Batian sneered, his eyes full of disdain. "If he were Heaven Immortal, he would have already come knocking on our door. Why would he need to sneak around?"
"He's at most a cunning and unpredictable Earth Immortal immortal!"
Even so, a sense of vigilance arose in his heart.
"Back to defense! Everyone back to defense!"
"Defend the stronghold first, then slowly search for and capture them!"
At this moment.
The Qian Family's treasure trove.
"Boom!"
With a deafening roar, the sturdy barrier shattered like paper before Dongfang Yueming.
"As expected of one of the three great families, they are indeed rolling in wealth."
Looking at the mountain of resources before him, Dongfang Yueming's lips curled into a slight smile.
[4000 low-grade immortal stones!]
[besides...]
He rummaged through a pile of jade slips and soon made a delightful discovery.
[Mid-grade Lightning-type Immortal Technique - "Lightning Serpents' Wild Dance"!]
[Low-grade lightning-based immortal technique - "Lightning Net Art"!]
[Low-grade lightning-based immortal technique - Thunderstorm Art!]
"Good!"
Dongfang Yueming was overjoyed!
With his previous accumulation, his Daoist puzzle is becoming more and more complete!
Enter all!
[Ding! The deduction progress of "Origin Immortal Art: Earth Immortal Chapter" has increased to 83%!]
[Ding! The progress of "Origin Immortal Art: Heaven Immortal Chapter" has increased to 27%!]
"Point Allocation!"
[Ding! 190 Immortal Points consumed, "Lightning Serpents' Wild Dance" Perfection!]
[Ding! 38 Immortal Points consumed, Lightning Net Art Perfection!]
[Ding! 38 Immortal Points consumed, Thunderstorm Art Perfection!]
Having done all this, he showed no hesitation, and with a flicker of his figure, disappeared once more.
"Next... the City Lord's Mansion!"
It happened shortly after Dongfang Yueming left.
Wang Batian led his large army and stormed back to the Qian Family.
However, all that was left for them was an empty treasure trove and a scene of utter devastation.
"Ahhh! My magic stone! My cultivation technique!"
The head of the Qian Family let out a shrill scream and fainted.
Upon seeing this, the head of the Sun Family was terrified!
"Lord! Quick! Come to my house! That thief is definitely heading there!"
He grabbed Wang Batian and tried to run towards the Sun Family.
"Idiot!"
Wang Batian flung him away, his eyes flashing with a cold light.
"Now that kid has already robbed the Zhao Family and Qian Family, his next target is definitely not your Sun Family!"
"He's a smart man; he knows the difference between truth and falsehood!"
"The most dangerous place is the safest place..."
He suddenly turned his head and looked in the direction of the city lord's mansion.
"He will definitely go to... the City Lord's Mansion!"
"Follow me! Let's catch them like turtles in a jar at the city lord's mansion!"
Having said that, he led his large army and marched in a mighty force toward the city lord's mansion.
The head of the Sun Family stood there, his face filled with conflict and fear.
What if... what if he really comes to my house?
In the end, he gritted his teeth and secretly led the clan's elite troops, rushing back towards his homeland.
He can't afford to gamble!
