Chapter 1006 - Lei Dongtian

Suddenly, a shout rang out like a thunderclap.

“Stop!”

The sheer force of it sent a deafening buzz through the minds of those with weaker cultivation.

Next, a purple figure streaked across the sky like lightning, closing in at an unimaginable speed. His arrival shook heaven and earth with a pressure akin to an ancient beast from the desolate era.

This person seemed like a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties. Terrifying lightning flashed around him. In the blink of an eye, he descended upon the imperial palace, his aura surging like a tidal wave.

Seeing the approaching figure, the Greater Legendary realm elder of the Sun Moon Divine Sect was overcome with wild joy. He roared desperately, “Hall Master, save me.”

However, Zhuge Qingfeng did not hesitate. His crushing starry hand, wrapped in destructive might, descended without mercy.

Poof, poof, poof...

The old man’s defenses disintegrated like fragile paper, utterly powerless before the overwhelming force.

“No!” roared the old indignantly.

How could this happen?

The Hall Master is here, so how dare Zhuge Qingfeng! How dare he attack me!

Puchi!

The large starry hand crushed down, shattering space itself.

A breath later, the old man was reduced to nothingness.

“Zhuge Qingfeng, you’re courting death!”

The newcomer erupted in fury. His boundless aura surged, distorting the very fabric of heaven and earth.

His terrifying aura swept out wildly, shaking and distorting heaven and earth.

Zhuge Qingfeng was fearless in the face of this person’s towering rage. He gazed over and said with a cold smile, “I didn’t expect even the grand Hall Master of the Heavenly Lightning Hall to come personally. You really think highly of me.”

“What?! He is the hall master of the Heavenly Lightning Hall, Lei Dongtian!”

“How truly unexpected. Even Lei Dongtian has come.”

“I heard that aside from Zhuge Yan, the Heavenly Lightning Hall has produced another peerless pride of heaven. Yuan Shasheng. The Sun Moon Divine Sect backed Prince Jing’s rebellion to seize the opportunity and treasure Zhuge Qingfeng obtained in the past, all for Yuan Shasheng.”

“I see. It’s no wonder even Hall Master Lei Dongtian has come. They’re determined to claim it.”

“But is it really worth it for the Sun Moon Divine Sect to pay such a steep price over a mere rumor?”

“Hehe, you don’t understand. The thousand-year period is almost up. I’m afraid they are doing this because of that.”

“What ‘that?’ What do you mean?”

“You’ll find out soon enough.”

At Zhuge Qingfeng’s words, the crowd immediately identified the newcomer.

He was actually the hall master of the Sun Moon Divine Sect’s Heavenly Lightning Hall, Lei Dongtian.

He was an Invincible Legendary realm apex expert, standing at the pinnacle of his realm.

Like the True Martial Academy, the Sun Moon Divine Sect was divided into many halls.

Among the hundreds of halls, the Heavenly Lightning Hall was one of the ten great legacy halls, wielding immense power and deep foundations.

As its hall master, Lei Dongtian’s strength needed no further elaboration.

His arrival sent a ripple through the gathering. Many from the ancient nations and powerful clans who had yet to act narrowed their eyes, a flicker of intrigue flashing within them.

They had also come to the Holy Spirit Ancient Nation to snatch whatever treasure Zhuge Qingfeng had.

If they could obtain Zhuge Qingfeng’s mysterious opportunity, the most outstanding juniors of these forces would definitely be able to rise to the next level.

With that, when the immortal sects opened, they would stand a far better chance in the battle for immortal affinity. [1]

Lei Dongtian looked at Zhuge Qingfeng with towering rage. A storm of killing intent surged from him, sweeping across the sky like a tidal wave, chilling the hearts of all present. His eyes burned with fury, as though he might erupt at any moment.

“How dare you kill him!” Lei Dongtian gnashed his teeth.

He had paid a steep price for this operation.

Not only had the hall mobilized its Legendary realm experts, but several of the hundred strongest halls within the sect—those with close ties to them—had come to provide support.

This should have been a flawless plan. Yet, against all expectations, everything had gone awry.

Zhuge Qingfeng, once afflicted with blood poison, should have died, but here he was all healthy, and even his strength had returned to its peak.

With this, Lei Dongtian’s carefully laid plans were thrown into chaos.

Prince Jing Zhuge Liuyun and the others’ deaths weren’t that big of a blow. But the loss of their Heavenly Lightning Hall’s Legendary realm experts? That was simply crippling their strength.

Although the Heavenly Lightning Hall was one of the ten great legacy halls with deep foundations, they only had so many Legendary realm experts—especially those who had reached the Greater Legendary realm.

The old man whom Zhuge Qingfeng had killed right in front of his eyes was the Heavenly Lightning Hall’s vice hall master, a Greater Legendary realm expert.

The remaining Sun Moon Divine Sect’s Legendary realm experts gazed at Zhuge Qingfeng, filled with cold killing intent.

The fallen Legendary realm expert on their side was more than just the vice hall master of the Heavenly Lightning Hall.

The remaining Sun Moon Divine Sect experts had been deeply apprehensive. But with Lei Dongtian’s arrival, they were certain that Zhuge Qingfeng would have to pay for this blood debt with his life.

“You still dare to talk big? How truly ridiculous! If I don’t make your hall pay a heavy price today, how will you ever learn? Otherwise, you might start thinking that I, Zhuge Qingfeng, am a pushover.” Zhuge Qingfeng laughed.

These people were all here to kill him. Those who wielded the blade should never forget—they, too, could be cut down.

The chaos unfolding in the Holy Spirit Ancient Nation was all because of the Sun Moon Divine Sect’s interference. If he didn’t kill enough of them to make Lei Dongtian feel fear, they might think his nation was easy to bully.

Lei Dongtian laughed from extreme anger. His killing intent rushed to the sky, and a terrifying aura swept out instant like an ocean, shaking the heaven.

“Good, good, good, what a fine man you are, Sovereign Zhuge Qingfeng, to dare kill my Heavenly Lightning Hall’s people. Today, not even the emperor of the heavens can save you! Kill!”

Thunderous light erupted from his eyes, illuminating the sky in an instant. The heavens trembled as the world itself seemed to be swallowed by endless lightning.

As the hall master of one of the ten great legacy halls, Lei Dongtian was much stronger than Prince Jing Zhuge Liuyun. The two were simply on different levels.

Amid this resplendent thunderous light, an incomparably ferocious thunderbird appeared, emitting overwhelming vicious qi. Bathed in thunderous light, it was like a ferocious beast from the ancient era, covering everyone within.

With a loud cry, the ferocious beast swooped down, attacking with its sharp claws. Endless lightning struck down from the sky, wiping out everything.

The sheer power of Lei Dongtian’s attack made countless spectators feel suffocated as if the very air had been stripped away.

“Hahahaha, today, I shall see how capable you are, Lei Dongtian.” A clear and loud voice rumbled. Standing between heaven and earth, Zhuge Qingfeng struck out with his bare palms.

The force of his attack coalesced into countless resplendent stars. In an instant, they crashed into the thunderous beast, causing a terrifying storm to surge out like a tsunami.

He truly lived up to his name as the Sovereign of the Holy Spirit Ancient Nation. Despite facing the hall master of one of the ten great legacy halls of the Sun Moon Divine Sect, he stood tall, his power unshaken.
