Chapter 559: The True Law of the Five Thunders! Empowered by Lightning! Surrender! Escape a Deadly Fate!

He had been summoned out of seclusion by the heir of Prince Qing, backed by the Witch God, who had promised to dispatch a projection to save his life at a critical moment.

Moreover, the heir had promised to build a temple after expanding territory, allowing him to enjoy offerings from the mortal world. So the giant, heart stirred with anticipation, had come out to participate in the dynasty’s conflict.

But until Daoist Spiritual Master Jiugong charged in, drawing the other three Yang Spirit experts into the fray, the Witch God still had not responded.

The red-haired, blue-faced giant’s heart sank. A rapid-frequency pulse repeatedly sent out pleas to the Witch God, “Witch God, act now!”

***

In an unknown realm, a mysterious figure sat cross-legged on a high platform. Suddenly, his brows furrowed, and his mind stirred with an uneasy sensation.

“Witch God, save me!” Sensing the plea, the mysterious figure shook his head.

“Pathetic. Two people asking for help in a single day?” He ignored it, continuing his mysterious cultivation.

This was the Number Three from the previous meeting in the unknown realm.

However, this time the pleas were extremely high-frequency, repeatedly sending tremors through his mind.

Ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding!

Number Three found it rather annoying. After all, he had inherited the Witch God’s authority, but not the full power. Strictly speaking, he had not inherited all of the Witch God’s strength. Useful for showing off, perhaps, but in a battle, he was no stronger than an early-stage third realm cultivator.

The people he had summoned were just meant to be a bluff. If they encountered danger, even if he went himself, it was likely a death sentence.

Number Three pondered for a moment, then forcibly severed the connection.

Still, maintaining professional courtesy, he left them one sentence, “Life and death are decreed by fate; wealth and honor come from heaven.”

The blue-faced giant felt the Witch God’s reply, and his fury exploded instantly.

To hell with fate and heaven!

He was of the demon race, believing in deciding right and wrong with force. To many human cultivators, he might have seemed mindless, but he was anything but foolish.

On the contrary, this giant reacted far faster than most. Since the Witch God had toyed with him, he would not let it go.

“I surrender! Stop attacking!” he roared, the sound echoing throughout the valley, shaking heaven and earth like a thunderclap.

This overwhelming aura froze everyone in place, but upon hearing the words clearly, their expressions shifted strangely.

Daoist Spiritual Master Jiugong was both shocked and enraged.

“Wang Qi, what are you doing?!” Daoist Spiritual Master Jiugong barked sharply.

In response, the heavy, sharp Fangtian Halberd in the red-haired, blue-faced giant’s hands slashed through the air,

Boom!

The weapon’s cutting aura struck Daoist Spiritual Master Jiugong’s primordial spirit directly. Only then did Daoist Spiritual Master Jiugong realize that that damn Wang Qi had betrayed them. This unexpected turn of events caught everyone completely off guard; it was infuriatingly shocking!

Daoist Spiritual Master Jiugong’s heart sank. Originally, he was facing the Four Yang Spirit experts, but now with Wang Qi’s betrayal, it had become one against five.

Daoist Spiritual Master Jiugong steeled his heart and rapidly formed hand seals, preparing to unleash a powerful spell.

“Millions of souls, enter my demonic body!”

As he chanted, a dark red orb appeared above his head. It was the Blood Soul Pearl!

In an instant, the sky darkened, wind and clouds twisting violently, and countless vengeful spirits of the dead crawled out from the black clouds above him. The terrifying aura made even the major Yang Spirit cultivators shiver.

Daoist Spiritual Master Jiugong had practiced mass-slaughter sorcery, and it was clear that this pearl was central to his rituals.

Yet Celestial Master Zhao frowned slightly. The pearl’s aura was indeed fearsome, but given Daoist Spiritual Master Jiugong had massacred hundreds of thousands in a city, its power shouldn’t be limited to this level alone.

Even so, if this vengeful energy fully erupted, hundreds of li around would likely descend into a ghostly domain, and such harm would only grow worse over time, potentially spawning uncontrollable, terrifying specters.

Daoist Spiritual Master Jiugong’s aura continued to rise.

Suddenly, a blade of light, sharp as a flowing banner, instantly cleaved his primordial spirit projection in two. Daoist Spiritual Master Jiugong’s face turned pale with alarm. After his body had been cut earlier and experiencing that strange attack, he had been carefully monitoring the surrounding energies.

He had seen the young Daoist’s methods before, but now he suddenly realized something. Why had he subconsciously ignored this young Daoist’s presence just moments ago?

“Is it a spell that could conceal divine secrets?”

His heart sank. The young Daoist could turn invisible and block divine secrets! This young Daoist was so cunning!

Earlier, he had planned that if someone struck at him, he would detonate the Blood Soul Pearl for mutual destruction. But unexpectedly, he felt nothing as he was cut through by a single blade.

The Yang Spirit of the third realm was far more refined than the ordinary practitioner’s primordial spirit. Even if a magical artifact struck it, the impact would be minimal.

Yet Daoist Spiritual Master Jiugong was severed with a single slash. Even so, his consciousness did not vanish; it attempted to soar skyward to seize the Blood Soul Pearl. But the previous ruthless slash had not only severed his Yang Spirit but also disrupted his connection with the Blood Soul Pearl.

Suddenly, the Blood Soul Pearl vanished; Daoist Spiritual Master Jiugong was stunned speechless. This time, he had come in his true body, able to unleash his full strength, even bringing the Blood Soul Pearl with him.

Yet he never imagined that he still could not break the young Daoist’s spell, and that Immortal Jin Yu, skilled in controlling insects, had been defeated so quickly, turning their reinforcements into a desperate struggle for survival...

Daoist Spiritual Master Jiugong tried to forcibly merge his severed primordial spirit halves, but upon closer inspection, they had not actually reformed.

The damage inflicted by the Jiaoslayer suppressed even this flashy regenerative ability.

“Five-Lightning Pure Yang! True Law of Heaven and Earth! Strike!!” Li Yanchu’s voice boomed like thunder.

Now, Daoist Spiritual Master Jiugong was repeatedly struck and heavily wounded; his aura was withering, and the strength of his primordial spirit had declined. The lightning arts was the yang of Heaven and Earth, perfectly suited to dealing him devastating damage.

Boom!

Just then, lightning struck down from the heavens. A thunderbolt crashed down, directly shattering Daoist Spiritual Master Jiugong’s primordial spirit into pieces, completely annihilating him!

Li Yanchu paused for a moment, then removed his Golden Radiance Crown, revealing his figure. What he had just used was a six-times-enhanced Five-Lightning Talisman, but upon careful consideration, he realized the power of this lightning arts was far greater than the previous six-times-enhanced Five-Lightning Talisman.

Could it be the residual blessing from the lightning strike last time?

Li Yanchu thought.

At this moment, everyone looked at Li Yanchu, now revealed in full, with varied expressions. Here was a third realm cultivator; normally, their abilities should not be enough to completely overwhelm an opponent. Yet this young Daoist had left his enemy utterly defenseless.

The Four Yang Spirit experts felt a complex mix of awe and unease.

You can fight... but you’re way too strong!

they thought.

The red-haired, blue-faced giant raised his Fangtian Halberd, looking innocent.

“I was deceived by villains and misled, which is why I came to support the Jin Yu demon. I surrender!” Wang Qi shouted loudly.

This young Daoist, wielding a saber capable of slicing through even Yang Spirit experts, was nearly impossible to confront; any hesitation would have meant instant death.
