Authority over Lightning

Realizing he had been caught off guard and found himself in this predicament, the City God immediately raised his foot and kicked Yin Yunze's leg with all his might.

Seeing this, Yin Yunze acted first, using his leg to deflect the City God's kick before the City God could fully exert his strength.

Just as the two were caught up in this entanglement, a white figure flashed out from behind Yin Yunze.

The god's forepaws pressed down on the City God's shoulders, while its sharp teeth bit into the back of the City God's neck.

The reason I chose to play solo before was simply because it was difficult for one person and one fox to coordinate.

Having gained the upper hand, the mortal naturally chose the more advantageous and righteous two-on-one situation.

With the combined efforts of the man, the fox, and Guo Jing, the City God was finally subdued on the spot.

However, similarly, even though the divine body had used all its strength to bite...

However, even with the City God now on the defensive and activating his full power, his divine body could not penetrate the City God's defenses.

The divine body was somewhat helpless about this; why did it always encounter these metal cans when it tried to bite people?

"Tsk----" Seeing this, the City God, though captured, remained calm. "I underestimated you! But even if you temporarily block my way, what can you do?"

"With just sharp teeth and claws, you think you can kill me? Look back at your men, they're almost finished! Once my ghostly soldiers Yin General have wiped out all your little demons, that will be your death!"

On the other side, the battle between the lesser demons and the ghost soldiers, while clearly at a disadvantage, was not as dire as the City God had described.

Although they were being chased and running around, they cooperated with each other in the face of life and death, using the guns that Yin Yunze had given them to fight back.

Also affected by those three decrees, the Yin soldiers were unable to exert a significant advantage, but were able to maintain the stalemate.

However, as time goes on, the numerical advantage of the ghost soldiers will eventually become more and more obvious.

However, at this moment, the mortal body had no energy to care about the battlefield over there.

Looking at the City God, the mortal asked softly, "I want to know, can the laws of that Prefectural City God restrain heavenly lightning?"

Upon hearing Yin Yunze's words, the City God felt a sense of unease.

Immediately afterwards, the City God sensed the ever-increasing aura emanating from the mortal body.

Although the law forbids the use of Law Technique, absorbing the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi to improve one's cultivation is not affected.

However, the accumulation of mortal knowledge could have already broken through that barrier long ago.

I just kept putting it off until now because I wanted to accumulate more.

Unexpectedly, it came in handy at this crucial moment.

As the Golden Core naturally condensed within his mortal body, a dark cloud appeared above Yin Yunze's head the next moment.

She didn't even need to look up; her mortal body sensed in the Unseen that this was her Golden Core Lightning Tribulation.

After the Golden Core Lightning Tribulation appeared, it was quickly sensed that besides mortals, there were other people entangled in the aura below, making the aura extremely chaotic.

In response, the Golden Core Lightning Tribulation surged and expanded in size.

However, as the tribulation clouds of the Golden Core Lightning Tribulation continued to expand, it sensed a new aura below once again.

In response, the Golden Core Lightning Tribulation was merely mechanical, taking the aura below as an ally, thus triggering another round of expansion.

The Golden Core Lightning Tribulation that Guo Jing underwent was merely a tribulation cloud several tens of meters in diameter.

However, when Yin Yunze's Golden Core Lightning Tribulation finally stopped, it covered an area of several miles in radius.

The energy contained within it made everyone enveloped in it feel as if a great calamity was about to befall them.

At this moment, even the most fiercely battling Yin soldiers and lesser demons stopped what they were doing and stared blankly at the tribulation clouds above.

"You're insane! You're a fucking lunatic! Are you trying to kill us all?!"

Sensing this extraordinary Golden Core Lightning Tribulation, even the City God could no longer remain calm.

With tribulation clouds of this scale, you could easily believe it if you said it was a lightning tribulation Tribulation Transcendence Stage!

"At worst, we'll die together!"

To this, the mortal body chuckled, his eyes revealing ruthlessness.

After all, mortals still have the real world as a last resort.

If this extraordinary heavenly lightning were to actually strike, both mortal and divine bodies would instantly slip back into the real world without a second thought.

Anyway, Yin Yunze had done this kind of thing—making others take the blame for him—many times before; he was quite adept at it.

"Hmph, I won't play along!"

Sensing the mortal's utterly ruthless nature, the City God, adhering to the principle of a wise man avoiding dangerous situations, merely snorted coldly and then lifted the three laws governing the area.

The next moment, the City God transformed into a stream of light, breaking free from the constraints of his Subordinate Deity body and mortal form, as well as the Pure Fox Robe, and returned to the City God.

This battle, which seemed destined to be a life-or-death struggle, ended in such a dramatic and somewhat absurd way that it ended abruptly.

Seeing the City God run away so easily, all the Yin General and soldiers of the City God's faction were stunned and stood there dumbfounded.

After all, apart from the City God Orthodox God, they don't have the Divine Ability to return to the temple using the Flowing Light Escape technique.

At this moment, drawn by the swirling energy, they had no ability to escape the range of the tribulation clouds that stretched for tens of miles.

The calamity clouds in the sky did not dissipate much after the City God left; they still exuded terrifying power.

Having lost their City God, and seeing that Yin Yunze was focusing his attention on them, these Yin General and soldiers suddenly felt immense pressure.

However, perhaps precisely because of the sheer number of people involved, although the formation was complete, the first bolt of lightning from this tribulation cloud was still brewing.

Enveloped in the power of wind and snow, her divine body transformed into the form of Nine-Tailed Fox with ears, and she flew down onto Lord of Du Mountain.

Your master has fled!

His gaze swept over the assembled ghostly soldiers Yin General. Yin Yunze's voice, though not loud, carried clearly to everyone's ears. "If you surrender and pledge allegiance to me, I may spare you this time. Otherwise, you will all die under my thunderous lightning. I'll give you ten chances to consider!"

For those outside the battle between Yin Yunze and the City God, they had no idea what was going on.

At most, all they saw was that after a battle, Yin Yunze subdued the City God, summoned the thunderclouds, and then the City God was frightened away.

The specific key to it, however, remains unknown to anyone.

They weren't even aware of it.

This thundercloud was actually beyond even Yin Yunze's control; it was evolved from the Golden Core Lightning Tribulation.

After all, you're saying this ten-mile stretch of tribulation clouds is Golden Core Lightning Tribulation?!

"Please, Lady Qingnü, spare my life!"

"Lady Qingnü, please spare us!!"

"Lady Qingnü, it's all the City God's fault that we're being forced into this!"

Under the threat of the thundercloud, the City God Martial Judge and their subordinates immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.

They're all just working stiffs who get paid for their work; don't expect them to be loyal to the City God.

As for the ghost soldiers, they had little affection for the City God to begin with, and were even more resentful. But seeing Yin Yunze force the City God to flee, coupled with the threat of thunderclouds in the sky, they easily became Yin Yunze's followers.

As he felt the tens of thousands of ghostly soldiers Yin General before him becoming his followers, Yin Yunze couldn't help but feel a sense of absurdity.

Yin Yunze's actions perfectly corroborate what the City God said earlier: fear and awe are what make people become his followers.

And because these tens of thousands of Yin General had converted to Christianity under Lei Yun's threat, they associated Yin Yunze with Lei Ting in their hearts.

Therefore, a trace of the power of thunder began to solidify among these tens of thousands of new believers.

Upon noticing this situation, Yin Yunze's heart stirred, and he retrieved the Dark Heavenly Lightning Flag.

Wrapped in his seven tails, Yin Yunze soared into the air, enveloped in the power of wind and snow, and then activated the Evil-Cleansing Blue Lightning.

In that instant, as if lightning were a ribbon wrapped around her body, the image of the Nine-Tailed White Fox was etched into the hearts of everyone present.

And with this impression solidified, the Authority over Lightning was successfully solidified.

The moment the Authority over Lightning was successfully condensed, the mortal body opened the Gate of Incense without hesitation and returned to the real world.

Even if the Golden Core Lightning Tribulation in this world is fierce, it shouldn't be able to reach the real world!

Since Yin Yunze, the main subject of the tribulation, has disappeared, the Golden Core Lightning Tribulation can't possibly treat those who were implicated as subjects of the tribulation, can it?

However, as it turned out, Yin Yunze was only half right.

As the mortal body departed, the Golden Core Lightning Tribulation lost its subject and indeed began to dissipate.

However, given the considerable delay, the first bolt of lightning had already fully solidified.

As the clouds of calamity dissipated, they began to show a faint tendency to fall.

Although, with the dissipation of the tribulation clouds, most of the lightning's power also dissipated.

Even if only one percent remains, that's still the Power of Lightning of hundreds of people.

Not to mention, the remaining power is not just one percent.

If the tribulation lightning, which affects thousands of people, were to fall, it would be beyond the Authority over Lightning that Yin Yunze had just condensed to withstand.

In fact, if it were to actually fall, it might shake the Authority over Lightning that Yin Yunze had just solidified.

At this critical moment, Yin Yunze suddenly had an idea.

Caught in the power of wind and snow, Yin Yunze soared into the higher sky, attempting for the first time to use the Authority over Lightning and drive the Dark Heavenly Lightning Flag.

However, unlike in the past when he used the Dark Heavenly Lightning Flag to generate electricity, this time, Yin Yunze used the Dark Heavenly Lightning Flag to absorb the Power of Lightning from the thunderclouds.

Guided by the Dark Heavenly Lightning Flag, the lightning that was about to strike paused.

Then, a portion of the heavenly lightning power was introduced into Yin Yunze's body.

The next moment, Yin Yunze's entire fox fur stood on end.

Even with the restraint of the Authority over Lightning, the power of this heavenly lightning was still too intense.

After absorbing some of the heavenly lightning with his Authority over Lightning to replenish his strength, Yin Yunze poured all the excess Power of Lightning into the Dark Heavenly Lightning Flag, transforming it into Evil-Breaking Purple Lightning that scattered into the air.

However, to others, this scene appeared as the Lady Qingnü riding the lightning into the sky.

In the sky, beneath the thunderclouds.

She continuously unleashed thunderbolts, proclaiming her authority to those who refused to submit.
