Fame Spreads Far and Wide, an Audience!
Shi Jian stood with his hands behind his back, as if strolling leisurely; to put it more nicely, he was carefree and confident in his abilities.
To put it bluntly, they simply look down on their meager skills.
Shi Jian slightly raised his finger and pointed, his divine sense stirring.
Buzz!
The world suddenly went dark.
At that moment, the lightning energy within the bodies of the hundreds of cultivators below the stage began to tremble violently and uncontrollably, as if it had been activated!
A purple-gold thunder pattern quietly appeared between Shi Jian's brows.
Thunder roared, and a gale swept in. Righteous Yang Lightning, as righteous and unyielding as heavenly law and punishment, transformed into a lightning spear about ten feet long in the void.
The three foundations of Divine Firmament unite as one, and pure Yang manifests its divine power!
Sizzle!
The lightning spear pierced through the void with lightning speed, so fast that even Divine Sense could not lock onto it.
The old man from the Supreme Void Lightning Sect's expression changed drastically. The whisk in his hand instantly transformed into three thousand silver lightning shields, and nine protective talismans lit up around his body.
Click!
The crisp cracking sounds instantly merged into one; the nine spirit talismans burned out in an instant, and the three thousand silver lightning shields crumbled inch by inch.
In an instant, the purple-gold lightning spear hovered three inches in front of the old man's brow, its blazing white lightning scorching a patch of his beard and hair, instantly subduing him.
Cold sweat trickled down the old man's cheeks.
A hint of horror flashed in the old man's eyes, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "The Divine Firmament Six Foundations! Brother Dao has actually begun to condense the fourth Immortal Foundation!"
For a moment, the entire hall fell silent.
Whether they were Human Race cultivators or the alien races from the Nine Realms who were secretly observing, they all gasped in shock.
Rumors are one thing, seeing something with your own eyes is another.
Anyone with eyes could see that Shi Jian hadn't even used half of his power in that attack; he had only relied on his pure control over the Dao of Lightning.
He shattered the entire defense of a Middle Spirit Transformation cultivator!
"The Dao Emulates Own Inherent Spontaneity; different paths lead to the same destination."
Shi Jian flicked his sleeve, dispersing the lightning spears, and uttered a calm remark. "No matter how refined the laws are, if they can't kill people, they're nothing but clay sculptures."
Having said that, he didn't even glance at the distraught Human Race, and turned to leave.
Although they are both at the Spirit Transformation stage, there is a difference in their cultivation levels.
But to their utter surprise, a single blow was enough to intimidate him, leaving him unable to retaliate.
Below the stage, hundreds of local Demon King roared with earth-shattering fury, their ferocity amplified; they all shouted the name of Shi Jian!
"Divine Firmament!"
"What kind of orthodox nonsense is this? It's utterly worthless before Ancestor Shi!"
The demons thronged behind Shi Jian, their eyes filled with even greater fervor and awe.
In the Beast Realm where strength reigns supreme, this move not only restored face for the local Demon Cultivator but also propelled Shi Jian to the leadership position among these unruly and ferocious demons.
On the outskirts of the crowd, several alien Spirit Transformation from the Nether Realm and the Vast Realm exchanged glances, their eyes deep and unfathomable. They secretly etched Shi Jian's appearance and aura into the depths of their souls, seeking an opportunity to transmit it back to their clans.
"The true lineage of Divine Firmament..."
A young man from the Vast Realm, his entire body covered in deep blue dragon scales, whispered, "The Giant Bear Clan has truly produced an extraordinary monster."
"If this bear doesn't die young, it will surely be a formidable enemy in the future struggle for the Dao of Lightning position."
The noise and undercurrents gradually subsided in the daily wait.
Many local Demon Cultivator harbored a deep-seated resentment.
They gathered at the foot of Purple Clearing Peak and poured out their bewilderment to Shi Jian: "Brother Dao, what do you think His Majesty the Beast Emperor is really thinking?"
"This Ancestral Court Lightning Pool is the foundation accumulated by my Beast Realm over millions of years. Why should those alien races from the Human Realm, the Mystic Realm, and other realms come here to grab a share?"
"If word gets out, wouldn't other realms laugh at our Profound Lightning Clan for being weak and incompetent?"
Shi Jian sat upright atop the peak, quietly sipping his spiritual tea, without answering.
The words of the Ancestor Egu still echoed in my ears.
The Profound Lightning Beast Emperor is nearing the end of his life, and there is no successor in his clan.
By opening the mountain gates wide, it may seem like inviting wolves into the house, but in reality, it is to use all the thunder cultivators in the world as a whetstone to select a worthy successor for the Profound Lightning Imperial Clan; at the same time, it is also to use the power of foreign races to help the Profound Lightning Imperial Clan break out of their predicament.
The Dao Venerable's scheme was extremely profound; how could ordinary cultivators possibly understand it?
A whole year passed quietly amidst the probing and maneuvering of all parties; when it came to exchanging cultivation insights, all the cultivators on each side gained something.
It was early morning that day.
Boom--!!!
A terrifying Lei Ming, beyond description, suddenly exploded in the core area of the entire Profound Lightning Ancestral Court!
Above the sky, billions of miles of purple clouds were torn apart in the blink of an eye.
The seventy-two sacred peaks shook violently, the mountain-protecting formations stopped at the same moment, and the endless thunderous earth veins transformed into millions of electric pythons, surging wildly towards the central Ten-Thousand-Zhang Lightning Abyss.
The one-year period has ended.
"Distinguished young people from all walks of life, today you shall enter my Ten-Thousand-Ren Divine Hall!"
The vast and boundless Daoist sound echoed through the mountains, causing the souls of every Nascent Spirit Transformation cultivator to tremble violently.
That was the majesty of the Dao Venerable!
In an instant, hundreds of extremely powerful beams of light rose from the various spiritual peaks, transforming into a sky full of flowing light that blotted out the sun and headed straight for the central core hall.
Shi Jian transformed into a streak of purple lightning, blending into the native cultivators of the Beast Realm, and steadily soared through the air.
A few breaths later, the cultivators landed on an extremely vast, suspended platform.
Directly in front of the rooftop stands a magnificent palace entirely carved from ancient lightning crystals— the Ten-Thousand-Ren Divine Hall!
On both sides of the main hall stood thirty-six stone sculptures of the Dao of Lightning, each a hundred feet tall, all radiating terrifying fluctuations of the Spirit Transformation Realm and exuding a chilling killing intent.
The hall was sparsely furnished, except for a nine-tiered crystal altar that soared into the clouds.
At the top of the altar sat a seemingly ordinary figure.
It was an old man, dressed in a faded dark blue robe, with a pair of long-broken, pale thunder horns on his head.
The old man's face was withered like a dried corpse, his skin and flesh clinging tightly to his bones, and his entire body exuded an aura of decay and death so intense that even the heavenly thunder energy could not conceal it.
A somber atmosphere prevailed.
Like a piece of ancient, decaying wood, about to go out completely.
However, none of the nearly one thousand geniuses and Spirit Transformation giants present dared to look directly into the old man's eyes.
The old man simply sat there quietly, and the entire void Principle of the hall revolved slowly around him.
That is the supreme being who holds the authority over the [Profound Lightning] Great Dao Fruit Position.
Profound Lightning Beast Emperor!
An ancient being who has existed for 100,000 years, the same era as the ancestor of the Li Yuan Giant Beast Clan and the previous Treasured Earth Dao Venerable!
