The final aftermath!

Shi Jian didn't waste any words and exerted force with all four limbs.

The ground exploded with a deafening roar, leaving four craters half a foot deep.

His massive body transformed into a dark gray afterimage as he sprinted along the ground at a speed more than twice as fast as it had been two months ago!

There was no flash of lightning, no demonic aura emanating from it.

All the power was perfectly contained within his body.

This was also what Purple Firmament taught him: Before thunder roars, the sky should be still as still as water; when thunder strikes, the heavens will surely fall!

Thirty li (about 20 kilometers) was covered in the blink of an eye.

Ahead lies a sunken meteorite crater.

At the bottom of the pit, a short, purplish-red tree was rooted in the rocks.

At the top of the tree grew a fruit the size of a fist, its skin translucent, inside which a miniature phantom of a thunder dragon was swimming.

Tier 3 Low-Grade Spirit Fruit: Thunder Source Fruit!

This is a treasure that is two whole major levels higher than the Thunder Essence Fruit.

It is a treasure that would make even a Golden Core Dao of Lightning Golden Core envious, and it even contains a trace of the Dao of Lightning...

But at this moment, a fierce battle was taking place beside the spirit fruit.

A Thunderhorn Rhinoceros, four zhang long, was letting out a desperate roar. Its body was covered with deep wounds that exposed bone, and its single horn was broken in half.

This is a level 4 peak Demon Beast with exceptional combat power!

It was attacked by three monks dressed in black and red robes.

Jin Kingdom, Crimson Devil Sect.

All three were at the Foundation Establishment Perfection stage, and their auras were chilling.

The leader had a withered face and held a blood-dripping bead in his hand. With each activation, a blood-red chain would bind the Thunderhorn Rhinoceros, constantly draining its life force.

"You beast, you dare to struggle!"

The withered cultivator sneered, his hand seals changing. "Blood Refinement, Soul Extraction!"

The crimson chains tightened suddenly, and the massive body of the Thunderhorn Rhinoceros slammed to its knees, the life force in its eyes rapidly fading.

"Senior brother, the Thunder Source Fruit is yours, and we brothers will divide the rhinoceros's Demon Core among ourselves," said a fat cultivator on the left, licking his lips.

"Okay, but hurry up, the secret realm is about to close."

The withered cultivator stared greedily at the Thunder Source Fruit, then took a step away.

Before he could even get close...

The rock walls at the edge of the crater then shattered with a deafening roar.

Immediately afterwards, a massive, dark gray figure crashed down like a meteor!

The fat cultivator didn't even see what it was; he only felt a sudden darkness above his head, followed by a chill that ran straight up to his head!

"Bang!"

Shi Jian slapped him.

The ultimate physical strength and restrained Lightning Gang erupted suddenly, and the fat cultivator's protective blood shield couldn't even last half a breath before it shattered.

The sound of bones breaking rang out.

The fat monk was smashed into a pile of minced meat, dying on the spot before he could even scream!

"What is that?!"

Another tall, thin monk was horrified and instinctively summoned a flying sword, aiming it straight for Shi Jian's throat.

Shi Jian neither dodged nor avoided.

The flying sword pierced his neck, where the light blue mane clung.

"Bite!"

Sparks flew everywhere, but the flying sword couldn't even pierce its skin. Then, a burst of lightning erupted, instantly melting the flying sword into liquid!

Shi Jian turned his head, his vertical pupils coldly staring at the tall, thin cultivator.

Its light blue mane stood on end instantly, and the lightning power within its body erupted once again, causing the heavens and earth to change color!

"Lightning Gang."

A massive bolt of Violent Thunder, as thick as a bucket, gathered from Shi Jian's mouth and then spewed out.

The tall, thin cultivator, along with his Storage Bag, was instantly swallowed by the lightning pillar, turning into dust and ashes, leaving not even a trace of his bones!

Two breaths.

The two Devil Cultivator Foundation Establishment Perfection were completely wiped out.

The withered cultivator stopped in his tracks, his face deathly pale.

He stared intently at the terrifying bear demon that had suddenly appeared, feeling the suffocating pressure emanating from its False Core!

For a moment, my scalp tingled.

"Peak Level 4... no, Half-Step Demon General!"

Without hesitation, he bit his tongue, spitting Essence Blood onto the Blood Spirit Pearl in his hand.

"Blood Devil Shield!"

The Blood Spirit Pearl shone brightly, transforming into a thick, blood-red light screen that tightly protected him. This Blood Spirit Pearl was a top-grade defensive magic Law Artifact.

With the addition of Essence Blood, it is enough to withstand a full-force attack from the False Core Realm cultivator!

Even talismanic treasures can withstand some resistance.

Using the blood shield as cover, the withered cultivator turned and fled, refusing to believe that this great demon could do anything to him!

Shi Jian remained unmoved upon seeing this.

He silently gathered lightning, his forelimbs slightly braced against the ground, and the air within a ten-foot radius around him was instantly sucked away!

The Demon Core spun wildly, and Purple Firmament also mobilized a trace of her own essence in response.

His right palm slowly rose.

In his palm, there was no dazzling lightning, only a point of purple-gold light gathering—that was extremely compressed lightning!

"Break."

Shi Jian struck out with his palm, and a purple-gold light spot flew out of his hand at great speed, landing lightly on the Blood Devil Shield.

The next moment, the Blood Devil Shield instantly melted away.

The purple-gold light pierced through the light shield and entered the top of the withered cultivator's head.

The withered cultivator froze on the spot.

In the next instant, countless arcs of purple-gold electricity erupted from his seven orifices and pores, and his body began to be destroyed from the inside out, Enlightenment a pile of black embers...

The wind blew, and the body was gone without a trace!

Shi Jian withdrew his claws, not even glancing at the ashes on the ground.

He walked over to the other side, to the dying Thunder Thunderhorn Rhinoceros Thunderhorn Rhinoceros were filled with fear and which let out a weak moan.

"Don't worry, I've avenged you."

"Now, your life is mine!"

Shi Jian raised its claw and ended its suffering with a single swipe.

Then, with a flick of its claws, it swallowed a Demon Core crackling with lightning. The taste was delicious, and its lightning power increased even further.

He turned around, walked to the low tree, and swallowed the Thunder Source Fruit in one gulp.

The fruit trees, along with the fruit trees, were uprooted, stored in Storage Bag, and finally swallowed and kept safe.

At this moment, the violent lightning power of the Thunder Source Fruit exploded in his abdominal cavity, washing over his meridians like magma!

Shi Jian squinted comfortably, the light blue mane around his neck becoming even brighter.

"Well done, Old Xiong."

Purple Firmament exclaimed in his divine soul, "The lightning's power is restrained yet its killing is decisive; this is what the way of Dao of Lightning should be!"

Shi Jian smiled but did not reply. He looked up at the sky.

Above the sky, the purple-gold light curtain had completely boiled over, and huge vortexes were slowly forming in the clouds.

The secret realm is about to close.

Time is running out for them.
