Chapter 484: Immortal Lei Jun (Part 2)

Chapter 484: Immortal Lei Jun (Part 2)

How did he have time to seclude himself for cultivation and challenge the heavenly tribulation between the Ninth Heaven and the Immortal Realm?

That tribulation was far more dangerous and challenging than the breakthrough from the Eighth Heaven to the Ninth Heaven.

Since he had been traveling between the human realms and had a history of long-term stays there, it was unlikely that he had concealed his cultivation like he did when he reached the fifth layer of the Ninth Heaven from the fourth layer.

How did this person... manage to do it? Venerable Radiance found it incomprehensible, further unsettling his mind.

However, he could easily discern that he was in a highly dangerous situation.

The young Daoist before him was someone who had killed the Wu Xian Ang Qinfu while still at the Ninth Heaven realm.

And now, he had successfully ascended to the Immortal Realm...

Venerable Radiance forcefully suppressed the doubts and uncertainties in his heart, restoring clarity to his spiritual platform.

Then, without any hesitation, he immediately left Penglai.

Although entering was difficult, his luck was obviously bad, and there was no chance of finding any loopholes. The only option now was to escape as quickly as possible.

He was a Buddhist Vajra Bodhisattva, having achieved the state of "Utilizing the Great," and even though his physical body was destroyed, he could quickly recover.

However, after a brief encounter in the Saha world, Venerable Radiance realized that his physical body was not advantageous in dealing with the young Taoist before him.

At this moment, he first manifested an incarnation.

This time, the object of his incarnation was still a Divine Shaman King.

However, it was no longer the Curse Shaman King but a Shaman King from the Divine Dance lineage.

As soon as the incarnation appeared, it immediately performed the Ghostly God Sacrificial Dance, creating the Ghostly God Sacrificial Array and seizing the advantage of the terrain.

Venerable Radiance himself manifested the Great Vajra Bodhisattva's Dharma Body and quickly retreated.

At this moment, he was not seeking victory against Lei Jun.

Instead, he was preventing Lei Jun from opening the Dao Jing Xuan Yuan to capture him! From the Dong Shen Ninth Heaven to the Dong Xuan Ascension to Immortality realm, one of the significant changes for Fu Lu Pai cultivators is that the Great Vehicle Dao Jing transforms into the Dao Jing Xuan Yuan, and its power and capturing abilities only become stronger.

Venerable Radiance's sole intention now was to escape, so he first manifested the Divine Dance Shaman King, using the Ghostly God Sacrificial Array to seize the advantage of the terrain and restrain Lei Jun from opening the Dao Jing Xuan Yuan.

Lei Jun appeared calm and unhurried.

His figure remained unchanged, just like usual, and there were no golden talismans swirling around his body like a starry river.

However, the Life Star God had already merged with him.

As he took a step forward to catch up with Venerable Radiance, a dragon's roar and a tiger's howl sounded simultaneously within the faint cloud aura surrounding his body.

But the one who appeared next was not the dragon and tiger transformed by Lei Huo.

Instead, it was a group of radiant, towering figures, each standing several dozen zhang tall, resembling divine beings.

Among them were four dragon-headed humans and two tiger-headed humans, all clad in sturdy armor and standing on cloud-like shoes. Their appearances were detailed, and their radiance was refined, as if they were composed of transparent crystals, yet they did not give off a sense of fragility or brittleness. Instead, one could vaguely sense an intensely violent power within them.

The six divine figures had different colors.

The dragon-headed humans were purple, black, golden, and silver.

The tiger-headed humans were green and red-gold.

These were the six great life star god talismans condensed by Lei Jun's talisman, the Fa Tian Xiang Di, which had ascended alongside him.

In an instant, the six Fa Tian Xiang Di figures appeared, tearing the Ghostly God Sacrificial Array formed by Venerable Radiance's incarnation into pieces.

"Although one can create myriad phenomena, cultivation is profound and mysterious, and compared to others, there is still a gap."

Lei Jun spoke calmly, as if casually evaluating.

At the same time, Lei Jun had already shattered the incarnation's head with a palm strike.

Yuan Qing Ci, Yue Xi Ling, and the others who witnessed Lei Jun's six Fa Tian Xiang Di figures standing like divine beings from afar, finally snapped out of their daze at this moment.

Yuan Qing Ci suddenly asked a question that seemed somewhat out of context, breaking the silence:

"How old is the Thunder Celestial Master this year?"

Ji Chuan held his breath and focused: "He should be exactly ninety-nine years old."

He took a breath and paused before adding, "The Celestial Master began his cultivation at a slightly older age. He was eighteen when he was accepted as a disciple by the True Man Xu Yuanzhen and brought back to Dragon Tiger Mountain. From then until now, he has cultivated for exactly eighty-one years, which adds up to the number of nine-nine returning to the origin!"

"An immortal who is not even a hundred years old..." Xie Yi Ying muttered to himself.

Yuan Qing Ci did not speak further.

The feeling he had earlier was now even clearer.

If the previous Thunder Celestial Master had made them feel unpredictable and inscrutable, like heavy clouds in the sky, then the current him was like the sky itself, making it impossible for people in the mortal world to fathom his intentions at any time.

Perhaps the only consolation was that he was not an enemy...

However, compared to the Daoist Sect, Venerable Radiance's heart felt as heavy as lead at this moment.

Lei Jun did not need to open the Dao Jing Xuan Yuan to restrain him.

His movement technique was incredibly fast, as if completely disregarding the constraints of time and space.

Venerable Radiance felt as if he were facing a Martial Immortal.

Moreover, Lei Jun's Nine Heavens Thunder Ancestor's Law Image, Xuanxiao Thunder Ancestor's Law Image, Chunyang Thunder Ancestor's Law Image, Chunyin Thunder Ancestor's Law Image, and the Nine Heavens Immortal Capital Talisman he carried were all simultaneously manifesting boundless thunder, enhancing his body.

In an instant, Venerable Radiance felt that Lei Jun's speed had increased, and with his cultivation and strength, it became even more difficult to discern his movements.

Just at this moment, Penglai trembled.

Others had arrived in Penglai through the void portal.

In addition to the Zhou Tian Daoist and Yu Shuo, there was Du Ming, a master from Thunder Sound Temple, Bao Neng, a master from Vajra Temple, and Cen Ruopu, the Zhou Tian Daoist's own disciple.

As soon as he entered Penglai, the Zhou Tian Daoist was greatly surprised.

That was... Lei Jun of the Tang Dynasty's Dragon Tiger Mountain? During the time when Xu Yanzhen was conquering the heavens, Lei Jun had lent a helping hand.

Although they had not truly interacted face-to-face, the impression Lei Jun had left on the Zhou Tian Daoist was deeply etched in his mind.

Seeing Lei Jun again, especially witnessing him being empowered by the Nine Heavens Immortal Capital Talisman, the Zhou Tian Daoist's eyes burned with hatred towards his enemy.

However, looking at Lei Jun's current appearance, had he already taken that final step?

...So fast?! Lei Jun's entire body was enveloped in thunderous light, and the Nine Heavens Responding to the Origin Five Thunders Righteous Method combined with his own life force to recreate the Lei Di Zhen Shen.

With enhanced divine abilities and power, Lei Di Zhen Shen was now even stronger than when he was in the Ninth Heaven Realm.

Having reached the Dong Xuan Ascension to Immortality realm, he had naturally integrated the wonders of the Tong Xuan Bridge with his own body.

Lei Jun, with the Lei Di Zhen Shen manifested, had a calm gaze, and his eyes first fell on Yu Shuo.

Although he was less familiar with him, he was indeed a Dong Xuan immortal of the Daoist Fu Lu Pai.

The records from earlier years were very fragmented and scarce.

Gaotian Sui, Ge Xuanzhi, Ran Qiao, Luo Si Gao, Wang Dian Chen, Ban Shuang, Yu Shuo, Chen Da Dao, Chi Yin, Quan Yuan Qi, and Wu Zehong... Lei Jun's mind went through the list of names from the Pure Sky provided by the Empress Zhang Wan Tong.

Yu Shuo was among them.

According to Zhang Wan Tong's previous account, he might have switched to cultivating the Daoist Fu Lu Pai.

Lei Jun's gaze shifted to the Zhou Tian Daoist and Venerable Radiance.

The Daoist and the Buddhist monk both felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

Lei Jun seemed to understand the doubts and suspicions in the minds of Venerable Radiance and the Zhou Tian Daoist: "My success today is partly due to the help of you two."

Everything had come to fruition, and there were no calamities.

This is called:

A step to heaven.

As he spoke, Lei Jun gave Yuan Qing Ci a Daoist bow: "May I borrow your sect's treasure for a moment.

"He waved towards the distance, and the treasured Whip of Heaven from the Great Ming Shu Mountain Sect flew over, landing in Lei Jun's grasp.

As the Lei Di Zhen Shen's rolling thunder rumbled like waves, the Whip of Heaven was infused with a renewed vigor.

For Lei Jun at this moment, he could use his own innate connection with the treasure to unleash its power and wonders far beyond its usual capabilities.

Upon hearing Lei Jun's words, Venerable Radiance and Zhou Tian Daoist trembled in shock.

In their minds, a vague light seemed to flash, but it was elusive, leaving them more bewildered.

"Has a new immortal ascended in this era, a descendant of Zhuang Zheng?"

Yu Shuo glared at Zhou Tian Daoist, dissatisfied. "This doesn't align with the information you provided."

Lei Jun ignored him, "Spare me your lowly attempts at incitement!"

Thunderous thunder rumbled around him as well.

The purple Nine-Heaven Godly Thunder transformed into a sea of lightning in an instant.

Unlike Zhou Tian Daoist, Lei Jun had not mastered the traditional Three Caves and Three Heavens Talisman of the Dragon Tiger Mountain Celestial Master Mansion.

Yu Shuo had long ago pledged his allegiance to the old subordinates of the Celestial Court, and thus received the talisman from Gaotian Sui.

When he ascended to the Three Heavens, he obtained the Three Divine Talismans of the Life-Destiny Talisman, the Thunder-Law Heaven-Writing Talisman, and the Fire-Law Earth-Writing Talisman.

The Nine-Heaven Godly Thunder manifested the form of a dragon.

Then, it expanded further.

At this moment, in the purple sea of lightning, multiple figures emerged.

Thunder dragons appeared one after another, occupying the eight directions.

Eight thunder dragons.

This was the achievement of Yu Shuo after his ascension:

The Immortal Technique - Thunder Law Eight Extremes Heavenly Dragon!

He was most proficient in thunder laws in the Ninth Heaven, and thus the first Immortal Technique he achieved after opening the Immortal Gate was this supreme thunder law.

Currently, he manifested the form of the Nine-Heaven Thunder Ancestor, a deity with a dragon's head and a human body.

And at this moment, the Eight Extremes Thunder Dragons all took the form of dragons, which was intentionally done by Yu Shuo.

As the massive thunder dragons coiled in the sky, they instantly obscured the sky above Penglai.

But before the thunder dragons could pounce, Lei Jun had already disappeared from his original spot.

As if no time had passed, in the same instant, a thunderous peal of thunder reverberated in the sky! Lei Jun reappeared, having instantly blasted one of the thunder dragons to pieces! Countless purple scales, claws, and flesh rained down from the sky, like a lightning storm, as if a real dragon had been slaughtered.

As Yu Shuo was filled with both shock and anger, Lei Jun's figure vanished again in mid-air.

When he reappeared, he had returned to face Venerable Radiance.

The Whip of Heaven lashed out, and thunderous light surged.

Venerable Radiance, who had already attained the Fa Shen of awakening to emptiness, seemed to have lost its effect at this moment.

Half of the Da Wei Tian Long Pu Sa Fa Shen was shattered by Lei Jun's whip.

Zhou Tian Daoist formed a thunder talisman and then waved to Lei Jun.

But it was like throwing a stone into the sea.

The Jiu Tian Xian Du Bao Lu, which Lei Jun had taken from him earlier, showed no response at all.

The Lei Di Zhen Shen that Lei Jun had manifested seemed completely unaffected by it.

Master Baoneng and Master Duming wanted to step forward to assist Venerable Radiance.

But two fiery deities immediately blocked their way, striking the two Fifth Heaven Realm Fifth Level Perfect Buddhist masters, leaving them disoriented.

The Jiu Yuan Yan Zu Fa Xiang and Tian Chen Yan Zu Fa Xiang did not continue their advance, but they moved closer to each other.

In the next moment, a burning Taiji Tu seemed to appear in Penglai.

The Taiji Tu transformed into a dazzling starry core, from which countless flames erupted, engulfing Masters Duming and Baoneng.

The Buddhist monks were resilient, and the two monks did not die immediately.

But the light and heat were endless, as if they would never cease.

The Tian Long Zen Chant reverberated, shaking the four directions, attacking Lei Jun and attempting to disperse the boundless sea of light that exploded from the Yin Yang Wu Ji Xing Huang.

However, Lei Jun, in the form of Lei Di Zhen Shen, was completely unaffected.

He let out a thunderous roar, like a crashing thunderbolt, instantly shattering Venerable Radiance's Tian Long Zen Chant.

Venerable Radiance could only watch helplessly as Masters Duming and Baoneng's bodies were completely engulfed by the sea of fire.

Lei Jun, moving with agility, struck down Cen Ruopu, a Ninth Heaven Fifth Level Perfect cultivator.

"Now I finally understand how Golden Sweat Ang Qin died..." Venerable Radiance's anger grew.

The power and speed of this Daoist before him, how many Wu Xian could surpass him at this moment? Zhou Tian Daoist, considering his current situation and the importance of Penglai, gritted his teeth, calmed his mind, and cooperated with Yu Shuo once more.

A vast radiance unfolded around him, as if Zhou Tian Daoist had become a miniature universe.

It was as if Zhou Tian Daoist himself had transformed into a universe at this moment.

Although he was still filled with doubts, Zhou Tian Daoist activated his Dao Jing Xuan Yuan.

Yu Shuo's face turned ashen.

He had belittled Lei Jun, but he now unleashed his cultivated Immortal Technique, and he was actually quite wary of this unexpected opponent.

He had not anticipated the strength of this young Daoist.

Allowing Zhou Tian Daoist to activate his Dao Jing Xuan Yuan, Yu Shuo felt even more unease, but at this moment, only by combining our strengths can we fight him."

With one of his Eight Extremes Thunder Dragons lost, Yu Shuo combined his remaining forces and attacked Lei Jun.

Lei Jun's gaze shifted, and amidst the sparkling stars, a massive palace complex appeared before him.

It was Zhou Tian Daoist's Dao Jing Xuan Yuan - Zhou Tian Gong Que.

Wherever Lei Jun looked, he could see that the palace was divided into multiple regions according to the movement of the stars.

In the 'Dou' section, there were the North Pole, Four Saints, and Seven Sages.

In the 'Lei' section, the Thunder Mountain and Thunder Pillar stood tall.

The 'Huo' section had a Fire River and Lamp.

The 'Wen' section had a Law Bell.

The 'Dou' section had an Ink Brush.

The 'Shui' section had an Inkstone.

The 'Cai' section had a Golden Ruyi.

The 'Tai Sui' section had a Great Seal.

The wonders of the Three Caves Twelve Upper True Talismans were all displayed here.

Countless streams of light rose from the palace, enveloping Lei Jun.

Then... Lei Jun, in the form of Lei Di Zhen Shen, waved his steel whip, dispelling the layers of light and sweeping away the palace of Zhou Tian Gong Que, leaving no dust in the Celestial Court, but the scattered light covered the four directions.

At the same time, Lei Jun's other empty hand clenched into a fist and struck towards the direction opposite the palace.

Over there, seven roaring thunder dragons had arrived with a deafening howl.

The Lei Di Zhen Shen's fist, at this moment, seemed to have grown incredibly large, as if it could cover the sky with a single hand, and the clenched fist shattered the ground.

A single fist clashed head-on with the seven dragons!

Lei Jun stood firmly in place, not even flinching.

The seven purple thunder dragons let out lifelike wails, their bodies scattering and unable to regroup as if they had been struck, purple light scattering like splattered blood.

Yu Shuo was dumbfounded.

...What kind of attack power and destructive force was this?

Yu Shuo had seen extraordinary experts before.

Not only during the Ninefold Heaven of Cave God, but even after ascending to the Immortal Realm, there were still peerless geniuses who surpassed others at the same level.

There was no need to mention Gao Tian Sui, even Wang Dian Chen was incredibly strong, causing the usually arrogant Yu Shuo to feel apprehensive, even if he didn't admit it.

But the Lei Jun before him made him feel even more formidable than Wang Dian Chen.

...Indeed, he was even more formidable.

Zhou Tian Daoist had already started to regret coming to Penglai.

He unfolded his Dao Scene Profound Barrier, and as a Daoist Talisman Sect cultivator at the First Layer of the Cave Realm, his Dao Scene Profound Barrier was known as the Celestial Market Barrier.

The Celestial Market Barrier was known for its prosperity, gathering, authority, coordination, and communication.

The wondrous aspect of the Daoist Talisman Sect's Cave Realm cultivator's Celestial Market Barrier was that it could make up for the cultivator's shortcomings compared to others within the Dao Scene Profound Barrier, regardless of whether they were allies or enemies.

In other words, within the Zhou Tian Palace, if someone had a particular trait that was significantly stronger than Zhou Tian Daoist, he could also receive a corresponding boost from the Zhou Tian Palace.

It didn't necessarily make him completely equal to the other party, but the greater the gap, the more he would benefit.

At this moment, Zhou Tian Daoist, who had unfolded his Dao Scene Profound Barrier and Zhou Tian Palace, was receiving the most enhancement in... destructive power.

He had originally thought it would be agility or teleportation.

The amount of benefit he received surprised Zhou Tian Daoist.

Then, a chill rose in his heart.

This indicated that the gap between them was shockingly huge!

Even with the boost from the Zhou Tian Palace, he feared he might not be able to catch up to Lei Jun's level.

The gap was too wide, and even with a massive boost, it was still not enough.

Adding the Seven Divisions White Glow wasn't enough either.

As expected, in the next moment, Lei Jun wreaked havoc within the Zhou Tian Palace, and the steel whip swept through, causing the palace to collapse in pieces.

Within Zhou Tian Daoist's Dao Scene Profound Barrier, the Five-Colored Clouds drifted, providing protection, but they were shattered by Lei Jun's whip.

At the same time, Lei Jun's body didn't move, and he instantly appeared before Yu Shuo's purple thunder dragon.

He raised his hand.

His five fingers spread open.

He grasped the dragon's neck.

With a forceful grip, he instantly crushed the dragon's neck.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom!"

The sound of drums reverberated, and countless thunderbolts exploded.

Yu Shuo's remaining six purple Nine Heavens Thunder Dragons retreated, and in the eight directions, huge thunder drums appeared, shaking incessantly.

These were Yu Shuo's refined treasures, the Eight Extremes Thunder Drums.

Although they weren't as powerful as the treasures refined by Daoist Artifacts Sect cultivators, Yu Shuo's Eight Extremes Thunder Drums still possessed astonishing might, shaking the heavens and the earth.

Each time the drums sounded, it was like a thunderbolt from the sky, striking towards Lei Jun.

"So that's how it is, Heavenly Dragon Eight Divisions, you and Zhou Tian Daoist are both like me, having switched to the Daoist Talisman Sect from the Buddhist Sect?"

Lei Jun, however, saw through it: "You... could it be that your method of switching cultivation paths is the same as Zhou Tian Daoist's?
