Divine Firmament's Wrath, an Immortal Emperor Descends
Taiyi Immortal Dynasty, Divine Firmament Sect.
This is a vast immortal land floating above the Nine Heavens Gale Layer. Countless floating islands connected by lightning chains form the foundation of this top sect of a superior immortal dynasty.
Lei Ming rumbles here year-round, and purple lightning cascades down from the sky like a waterfall, cleansing every mountain peak.
Ancestral Hall, Soul Palace.
This place enshrines the life soul jade slips of all core members of the Divine Firmament Sect at the Immortal Lord Realm and above, making it the most important place within the sect.
The temple's guardian elder was an elderly immortal Immortal Lord, who was sitting cross-legged on a futon, using the abundant soul power within the temple to nourish his primordial Primordial Spirit.
Sudden.
"Snap--!"
A crisp cracking sound rang out, particularly jarring in the silent hall.
The temple elder's eyelids twitched, and a strange sense of irritation welled up in his heart.
"Was it another outer sect steward who got into trouble and got killed outside?"
He casually raised his head, his gaze sweeping over the lower-level jade slips that represented lower-ranking deacons.
However, the jade slips were intact.
"Um?"
He was startled, and his gaze slowly moved upwards, looking at the middle-level area representing the true disciples and the guardian elders.
Upon seeing this, he was nearly scared out of his wits!
The purple-gold Lei Dongtian slip, prominently displayed and representing Lei Dongtian, the sect's prodigy and grandson of the Grand Preceptor Taiyi, was now...
It was covered in cracks!
"This... how is this possible?!"
Before he could react...
"Bang!"
With a deafening explosion, Lei Dongtian's jade slip was completely pulverized!
Immediately afterwards.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Four consecutive loud bangs!
The four jade slips placed next to Lei Dongtian —the life tablets of the four Immortal Emperor- level guardian elders responsible for his personal protection—also shattered immediately afterward!
The soul lamp went out, and the jade slip turned to ash!
Five people... wiped out!
"Ah--!!!"
The temple elder let out an extremely shrill scream, then collapsed to the ground, trembling uncontrollably.
"The sky has fallen... the sky has fallen!"
"Young Master Lei... has fallen!!!"
He scrambled and stumbled towards the ancient bronze bell in the center of the hall, and with all his might, rammed it into it!
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
The urgent and mournful tolling of the bell instantly resounded throughout the entire thirty-six islands of the Divine Firmament Sect!
Nine chimes!
This is the death knell for a sect facing a major calamity, or the fall of a key figure!
"Boom--!!!"
The moment the bell tolled, the main peak of the Divine Firmament Sect— Thunder Emperor Peak —suddenly exploded!
An indescribably terrifying pressure, like an ancient thunder dragon awakening, roared and surged into the sky, instantly tearing apart the clouds within a million miles!
[Immortal Ancestor Realm]!
Lei Wanjun, the sect leader of the Divine Firmament Sect, has broken through his seclusion!
He wore a purple-gold Thunder Emperor robe, his hair and beard stood on end, and his eyes seemed to contain two surging seas of lightning. The violent killing intent he exuded caused the temperature in the entire Divine Firmament Sect to plummet to freezing point!
"Who?!!"
"Who killed my disciple?! Who killed the Grand Tutor's grandson?!"
Lei Wanjun's roar transformed into rolling Tianlei, causing countless disciples' eardrums to bleed!
Lei Dongtian was not only his true disciple, but also an important link between the Divine Firmament Sect and the Taiyi Immortal Dynasty royal family!
His death was not only the loss of a genius, but also a slap in the face to the entire Divine Firmament Sect, and might even provoke the wrath of the Imperial Preceptor of the Immortal Dynasty!
"Zong... Zong Master!"
The temple elder knelt in the Xukong, sobbing uncontrollably. "The young master and the four guardian elders' life tablets... shattered simultaneously! It seems... it seems they were instantly killed by an uncontrollable force!"
"Instant kill?!"
Lei Wanjun's pupils suddenly contracted.
Four Immortal Emperor protectors, even if they encountered a powerful Immortal Ancestor expert, would still have the strength to fight. How could they possibly be instantly killed?
"Investigate! Activate the [Haotian Thunder Mirror]! I will rewind time and space to see which fool dares to touch the people of my Divine Firmament Sect!"
"Yes!"
Several elders joined forces and brought out an ancient bronze mirror.
On the mirror's surface, lightning swirled, and lines of cause and effect began to intertwine wildly, attempting to recreate the scene before Lei Dongtian's death.
However.
Just as the image was about to become clear.
"Zzzzz--!"
The mirror suddenly shook violently, and the image turned into a chaotic jumble of snowflakes!
It was as if an supreme power had forcibly erased all traces of the murderer's face and presence!
"What?! You can't calculate it?!"
Lei Wanjun was shocked. "This person... actually possesses a supreme treasure that conceals the secrets of heaven?!"
Although the face was unclear, the [Haotian Thunder Mirror] still managed to lock onto a blurry coordinate at the last moment.
Location: The boundary between intermediate immortal dynasties -- Void Rift Valley!
"Isn't that... the place where the [Myriad Phenomena Immortal Manor] was born?"
An elder exclaimed.
"Great! Excellent!"
Lei Wanjun's eyes flashed with murderous intent as he sneered, "No matter who you are, no matter what treasures you possess! As long as you're still in that position, you can't escape!"
He turned his head and looked at a middle-aged man in the corner of the hall who had been silent all along and whose body exuded a chilling aura of bloodthirsty lightning.
"Lei Mie!"
"Your subordinate is here!" The man took a step forward, and the surrounding space trembled slightly.
Lei Mie, Hall Master of the Enforcement Hall of the Divine Firmament Sect!
Cultivation level: Immortal Emperor Great Perfection!
He's just one step away from reaching the Immortal Ancestor Realm!
"Go there yourself!" Lei Wanjun's voice was icy. "Take with you the sect's most precious treasure—[Sixth-Tier Immortal Immortal Artifact: Hammer of Lightning Punishment]!"
"I want you to bring back that murderer's head! And his Primordial Spirit... I want him to suffer the torment of being struck by ten thousand lightning bolts, never to be reincarnated!"
"Yes, sir!"
Lei Mie took the purple-gold hammer that exuded a world-destroying aura, a bloodthirsty glint flashing in his eyes.
"Rest assured, Sect Master."
"No matter who he is, as long as he meets me..."
"There's only one way out: death!"
"Boom--!"
Lei Mie transformed into a dark purple bolt of lightning, tearing through the solid spatial barrier of the superior immortal dynasty, and descended towards the Lower Realm with overwhelming killing intent...
They charged in recklessly!
