Chapter 3556: Blood Gang Divine Thunder

Deafening thunderclaps rumbled continuously as streaks of seven-colored lightning struck down. The awe-inspiring display caused the entire island to tremble slightly.

After the seventh lightning tribulation struck, an area spanning ten thousand miles around Wang Chan was engulfed in smoke and dust. The lightning was blindingly bright, making it impossible to discern what was happening within.

The seven-colored thunderclouds violently churned and surged, and a gigantic seven-colored lightning dragon appeared, its body enveloped in countless seven-colored electric arcs, exuding a terrifying aura.

The seven-colored lightning dragon shook its head and swung its tail, swooping down from high altitude at an exceptionally fast speed.

As it approached a hundred zhang from the seven-colored lightning, tens of thousands of slender golden rays shot out from the lightning, most of them striking the seven-colored lightning dragon.

The seven-colored lightning dragon let out a series of piercing roars as its body was riddled with holes and then burst apart. A colossal seven-colored sun materialized out of thin air, enveloping a large area.

A deafening rumble ensued, and a powerful shockwave swept forth, spreading in all directions. Numerous thick, long cracks appeared in the void, but they quickly healed.

As the lightning dissipated, Wang Chan stood in a giant crater emitting black smoke. His face was pale, and he held a silver-glowing formation plate. He exuded a terrifying spiritual pressure, having successfully advanced to the Mahayana stage.

Wang Ruyan let out a sigh of relief, a joyful expression appearing on her face.

Frankly, she hadn't expected Wang Chan to advance to the Mahayana stage so quickly, especially considering that Wang Qingfeng and others were still in the Integration stage.

As long as one's opportunities are grand enough, it's not impossible for latecomers to surpass the front-runners. A quick start can set a fast pace, but it doesn't guarantee being the fastest forever.

Wang Chan's rapid cultivation speed was also thanks to the abundance of ghostly beings in the Myriad Spirit Abyss.

Wang Chan changed his hand seal, causing the silver light curtain to dissipate. He then flew down in front of Wang Ruyan and respectfully greeted her, "Greetings, Mistress."

Wang Ruyan showed an approving expression and instructed him, "You should rest and recuperate well."

Wang Chan acknowledged her and left Purple Crystal Island.

Wang Mengbin flew into the giant crater, took out a silver-glowing magic disk, and imbued it with a spell. Simultaneously, countless silver runes emerged on his body. A thunderous roar echoed from high in the sky as streaks of thick silver lightning appeared, accompanied by flashes and rumbles.

The sky darkened as thick dark clouds gathered, and streaks of thick silver lightning tore across the firmament.

Wang Mengbin had collected lightning power many times before, so he was very familiar with the process.

A short while later, a thick, blood-red lightning bolt tore across the sky.

"Blood Gang Divine Thunder!"

Wang Mengbin's face lit up with joy. He changed his hand seal, and the blood-red lightning headed straight for him.

Dazzling white spiritual light burst forth from Wang Mengbin's body, covering an area of ten thousand zhang. He opened his mouth and spewed out countless profound silver runes, which shot directly towards the blood-red lightning.

When the blood-red lightning touched the silver spiritual light, it halted as if stuck in a quagmire, and the silver runes enveloped it.

Wang Mengbin constantly performed hand seals with his ten fingers, refining the Blood Gang Divine Thunder.

Wang Ruyan and Wang Yongqian left Purple Crystal Island, as refining a Blood Gang Divine Thunder was no problem for Wang Mengbin given his abilities.

Upon returning to Green Lotus Island, Wang Ruyan instructed Wang Yongqian, "Send a message to our clansmen on Manatee Island. Tell them to inform Master Miaode about the Ye family's request for assistance from Mahayana cultivators. Whether he decides to go or not is up to him."

The conditions for participation were quite generous, offering five items as reward. It was entirely up to Master Miaode whether he would go.

"Yes, Ancestor," Wang Yongqian replied.

Wang Yongqian acknowledged her and left to carry out the order.

Sky Vault Realm, Myriad Loong Continent.

The Golden Lin Mountain Range stretched for hundreds of millions of miles, with countless perilous peaks and strange formations. Rare flowers and exotic plants were ubiquitous.

In a hidden underground cave, a faint yellow light emanated from the stone walls, evidently from a restrictive spell.

Chen Yueying sat cross-legged on the ground, with many items laid out in front of her, including jade slips, elixirs, spirit herbs, ores, and Heaven-reaching Spirit Treasures.

After separating from Shi Yan and others, they were pursued by enemies. Chen Yueying, relying on her exquisite Earth Escape technique, killed two early-Mahayana cultivators and brought Wang Qingshan here to recuperate from his injuries. Ye Yunfei had gotten separated from them, and they couldn't contact him.

Wang Qingshan's soul was injured, and he was currently recuperating.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, can you contact Fellow Daoist Ye and the others?"

A gentle male voice sounded as Wang Qingshan emerged from a simple stone room.

He had consumed a Purple Jade Primordial Soul Fruit, and his soul was now fine. The Purple Jade Primordial Soul Fruit had a miraculous effect on healing soul injuries; without such elixirs, advancement was particularly difficult, and if the injury had been any more severe, it would have been even harder to recover.

"Fellow Daoist Wang, you've recovered?"

Chen Yueying was somewhat surprised.

Wang Qingshan nodded. "I consumed a Purple Jade Primordial Soul Fruit, and I am now fine."

Chen Yueying's defensive divine abilities were powerful. During their escape, they were intercepted by three Mahayana cultivators. Chen Yueying alone held off two Mahayana cultivators, while Wang Qingshan used his spiritual domain to kill one. Chen Yueying then killed another Mahayana, and the remaining Mahayana escaped using a secret technique.

"Fellow Daoist Wang, you must have the cultivation method for a spiritual domain, right? How about I trade something with you for it? Take any of these materials if they interest you."

Chen Yueying pointed at the materials on the ground and said sincerely.

Spiritual bodies also had their strengths and weaknesses, and their innate divine abilities differed. Chen Yueying's Qian Earth Body had powerful defenses but slightly weaker offense, though this was in comparison to the Great Sun Blazing Body and the Soul Extinguishing True Eyes.

When Chen Yueying attempted to break through to the Mahayana stage, she drew nine-colored divine lightning. It was thanks to her powerful defensive divine abilities that she remained unharmed, especially considering she only possessed a seventh-tier low-grade lightning-absorbing bead.

There are always stronger individuals and more formidable powers. In the cultivation world, there exist physiques more powerful than the Great Sun Blazing Body and the Soul Extinguishing True Eyes; they simply hadn't encountered them yet.

If Chen Yueying could master a spiritual domain, even at an introductory level, it would significantly enhance her strength.

Wang Qingshan glanced at the items on the ground and nodded. "No problem."

He requested twenty types of materials, one of which was an enlightenment material. Without the secret art of enlightenment, cultivators who obtained such materials could only use them as refining materials.

"Fairy Chen, did you seize these items from the enemies?"

Wang Qingshan asked casually.

Chen Yueying nodded. "That's right. I checked their jade slips. They are from the Sa Clan, an affiliated race of the Long Clan. The Sa Clan is skilled at tracking; otherwise, they wouldn't have caught up to us. We are currently in the Sa Clan's territory."

"How about we join forces to eliminate this clan?"

Wang Qingshan suggested, knowing that those not of his kind were sure to have different intentions and he would show no mercy to foreign races. Since a Sa Clan Mahayana cultivator possessed an enlightenment material, it was possible the Sa Clan's treasury held even more.

"I was thinking the same," Chen Yueying replied. "If we don't deal with them, we might be caught again."

Chen Yueying readily agreed; if they didn't eliminate the Sa Clan's Mahayana cultivators, they might still be pursued again.

The Sa Clan was not a major clan, and given her and Wang Qingshan's combined strength, eliminating them—especially after they had already lost two Mahayana cultivators—would not be difficult.

"No time to lose, let's depart now," Wang Qingshan said gravely.

They removed the restrictive spell and left the place, heading towards the Sa Clan's ancestral land, the Sky Sa Mountain Range.
