Fame Across the Nine Realms, All Eyes Upon Him!
A bottomless Lei Yuan, locked deep within the nine layers of heaven.
Since the Profound Lightning Ancestral Court closed its towering bronze gate tightly, the entire Transformation Lei Yuan) fell into an unprecedented silence.
Chaos surged, and nine-colored lightning slurry intertwined to form an indestructible Dao lock, isolating the universe and the sun and moon, and also obscuring the sight and sound of heaven and earth.
However, while the abyss was as still as a deep pool, the vast universe outside it was stirred up by that white-robed figure who walked out of the Death Realm, causing a massive wave that swept across the Nine Realms!
The scene of the Lightless Dead Realm on that day had already been spread like wildfire throughout the four seas and eight wastelands by the lucky survivors from all realms.
More than thirty cores of Spirit Transformation Night Beast, and tens of thousands of pure-blooded ferocious cores!
He slaughtered cities and captured strongholds, single-handedly broke through passes, and even under the dying counterattack of the Spirit Transformation Extreme Stage Nether Abyss Emperor, he blasted him into ashes and looted the Daoist scriptures of an ancient divine dynasty that had existed for tens of thousands of years.
Every single one of them was an extremely heinous act.
The Human Realm, the Supreme Void Lightning Sea.
Billions of feet of platinum sword lightning descended from the top of the void, converging into a boundless, chilling sword pool.
At the summit of the pool, beneath several giant stone swords wreathed in Qing Gang, sat three ancient Human Race cultivators, wearing Daoist crowns and with white eyebrows reaching their chests.
They wore robes adorned with Bagua (Eight Trigrams) and thunderous robes; with every breath they exhaled, they could evoke a resonance of Sword Qi spanning thousands of miles, like the roar of a dragon.
At this moment, a jade pendant glowing with blood-red light was quietly floating in front of the three of them. It was the life jade left behind by Elder Qingjue.
The jade pendant shattered, signifying the end of life.
"Qingjue... has truly perished."
An elderly cultivator with sunken eyes in the center slowly opened them. Deep within his pupils, two sword symbols resembling intertwined yin and yang chi flickered, their sound like the clash of metal, filled with a chilling sigh.
"Not only Qingjue, but none of the thirty Nascent Soul Sword Seeds who accompanied my Supreme Void Lightning Sect survived either."
"On the contrary, that Barbarian Bone bear not only stepped out of the boundary with great vigor, but even managed to exchange 660 years of Transformation Lightning Pool before the Profound Lightning Dao Venerable."
The old Daoist priest on the left had a gloomy expression, his whisk casually resting on his arm. He let out a cold snort, and a thousand violent thunderbolts rolled across the sky.
"What a worthless beast raised by the Giant Bear Clan! This thief, not even two thousand years old, has already condensed the three foundations of the Divine Firmament, and now he's almost at the perfection of the fourth Immortal Foundation, [Radiant Yang]!"
"Fellow senior brothers, do not forget that the High Antiquity Lightning Realm collapsed, the four Dao of Lightning were suspended in mid-air, and the Dao of Lightning of the Nine Realms were shattered."
"For hundreds of thousands of years, which race has not wanted to claim the legitimate lineage of Divine Firmament?"
"But the Divine Firmament Law is extremely yang and strong, and cannot be borne by anyone but those who uphold the Heavenly Law with great perseverance and abundant blessings; yet, this heaven-defying destiny has fallen entirely upon the head of a bear demon!"
This trend must not be allowed to continue.
"The Space Heaven Clan the Heaven Realm tightly controls the [Primal Lightning] inheritance, while the Profound Lightning Imperial Clan monopolizes [Profound Lightning]. In this world, it has been a long time since a single [Divine Firmament] Dao Fruit has been created to wield the power of the Nine Heavens' Thunder Punishment."
"If we allow this beast to cultivate to the Five-Foundation Extreme Realm, and even attain enlightenment in the future... where will our Thunder Sword lineage of the Human Realm place this heaven-splitting, earth-shattering sword lightning?!"
The hall was silent. The three Human Race Spirit Transformation, whose lifespans were nearly three thousand years, exchanged glances, each seeing a deep sense of apprehension in the other's eyes.
The Way of Divine Firmament is the key to Thunder Method.
Throughout history, all those who have attained this path have been considered invincible in combat among those of the same level.
Even before Shi Jian had reached the peak of the Perfected Spirit Transformation Shi Jian, he was already able to slaughter the remnants of the Extreme Realm. If he were to truly cultivate the Dao Venerable Body, Human Race Sword Under Heaven would lose three-tenths of their edge before even engaging in battle!
However, they are few and far between, and in the path of slaughter, they are second only to the [Immortal Slayer] level.
"Send someone to the Heaven Realm to sound out the Space Heaven Clan's opinion."
Finally, the aged swordsman in the center closed his eyes, his voice ethereal and uncertain:
"For nearly 100,000 years, the Space Heaven Clan has regarded Thunder Method as their exclusive domain. Now, they are plotting to unify the Yu and Feng paths, and will absolutely not allow a savage bear to lay a finger on the Heavenly Pivot."
"Whether it's using someone else to do your dirty work or using one enemy to devour another, we must not let our Human Race get involved with the karma of Peak Mountain Emperor Lord. The Peak and Mountain Imperial Clan is not to be trifled with."
"Good."
Amidst the cold response, the three thousand-foot-long stone swords trembled slightly, their sword light tearing through the sky before vanishing into the vast void in an instant.
The Heaven Realm, above the nine heavens and sea of clouds.
Layer upon layer of azure celestial palaces hang deep within the fierce winds and strife. This is the territory of the Space Heaven Clan, where not an inch of land has been seen for millennia. Only the pure and domineering Dao of Wind and Space Dao Principle traverse the Milky Way.
Beneath the majestic Heavenly Gate, which resembles a divine mountain, stand two feathered deities with twelve wings and handsome, godlike faces, their hands clasped behind their backs.
Its gaze looked down upon the mortal world, piercing through endless boundaries, and was also fixed on the direction of the Beast Realm and the Profound Lightning Ancestral Court.
"The Giant Bear Clan... Shi Jian?"
The deity on the left curled his lips into a cold, mocking laugh, the syllables like a raging storm from the heavens, carrying an arrogance originating from the depths of his very soul.
"A mere savage bear, having luckily obtained the Dao of Divine Firmament Technique, dares to attract the attention of the Nine Realms?"
"My lord, you must not underestimate your enemy."
Below, a Nascent Spirit Transformation from the Yu Tian Clan, who had just fled back from the Lightless Dead Realm in a sorry state, knelt on the ground, cold sweat pouring down his forehead:
"I witnessed it with my own eyes; this bear's physical body is extremely well-trained, perfectly in line with the divine principles of the Divine Firmament, and the ferocious weapon in its hand is incredibly powerful."
"Furthermore, once its fourth Immortal Foundation [Radiant Yang Lightning] is fully formed, it is inexhaustible. Any cultivator of the same level who falls into its Dao Domain will be reduced to ashes in less than half a moment."
"If our clan allows them to grow too powerful, and conflicts in the Dao Realm resume in the future, then a great calamity may arise on Lightning Plain!"
The twelve-winged god raised his eyebrows slightly, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
He summoned a Clear Wind from the void, gently dispersed it, and said softly:
"A major threat? He doesn't deserve that title."
"The Path of Divine Firmament has been envied by the heavens since ancient times; cultivating one path is a tribulation; condensing the six foundations is six great tribulations that will destroy the gods."
"Since the collapse of the ancient Lightning Realm, countless brilliant talents have emerged throughout the Nine Realms, yet has there ever been one who could fully forge all six Dao of Divine Firmament Dao Platform?"
"This has not yet occurred."
The deity turned and stepped into the celestial palace, leaving only a chilling echo reverberating through the clouds and sky, "Old man Profound Lightning, your lifespan is exhausted; only someone who has lost their mind would grant you the promise of protection."
"Order the border gate to dispatch the thirty-six battalions of Wind and Lightning Heavenly Guard to patrol the border wall, until he emerges from Lei Yuan six hundred years later..."
"I'd like to see whether this is a toothless bear cub or a true Dao Venerable seed capable of turning the world upside down."
A gentle breeze stirs the water, and a raging undercurrent surges beneath.
The Vast Realm Dragon Palace was engulfed in turmoil, and the Ancient Nether River the Nether Realm was filled with the aura of death that had existed for millennia. All the ancient imperial and royal families were, to varying degrees, trying to find out every little detail about that Lightning Bear.
In the past, Spirit Transformation cultivators were nothing more than slightly larger ants in the eyes of Dao Venerable who held the positions of power.
But a Dao of Divine Firmament, less than two thousand years old, possessing heaven-defying battle power, backed by the Barbarian Bone Bear King's E Gu, and having received a promise from the Profound Lightning Dao Venerable...
Its weight is enough to make it a chess piece on the edge of the Nine Realms chessboard.
Its status is similar to that of the Bailu Lingyuan of the Spirit Race back then; it's just a pity that the Bailu Lingyuan's Daoist aura was personally plotted against and killed by Peak Mountain Emperor Lord.
Currently, three out of four positions in the Dao of Lightning are vacant; if Shi Jian can prove them, then the Beast Realm will possess two Dao of Lightning inheritances.
In the future, there is a possibility that he may try to seize the ultimate power of the Dao Embryo!
