Chapter 822: Secret Art Divine Might

Near Wang Qingjun's residence, countless weeds suddenly sprouted, forming a towering green wall more than ten zhang high that blocked the yellow stick shadow.

The golden greatblade suddenly burst forth with dazzling golden light and vanished.

Inside the manor, Ye Xuan and two other Core Formation cultivators lay in pools of blood, their faces contorted as if they had endured immense suffering before death.

Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan stood in the stone pavilion, their expressions grave.

A golden light flashed, and a golden glow suddenly illuminated the void in front of them. A golden greatblade, about a zhang long, abruptly appeared before Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan, seemingly poised to cleave them in two.

A dazzling blue light illuminated Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan's bodies, and a mirror-like blue water curtain suddenly appeared, enveloping the couple.

The surface of the blue water curtain undulated like flowing water.

Water Moon Profound Light can reflect most attacks, such as those from magic treasures and spirit arts.

The golden greatblade struck the blue water curtain, which immediately caved inward as if about to shatter.

Wang Changsheng's left hand tightly gripped Wang Ruyan's right hand, and blinding spiritual light erupted from their bodies. The blue water curtain quickly returned to its original state, and the golden greatblade instantly flew backward, retracing its path at an extremely high speed.

Lu Gang was startled. He threw the yellow long stick in his hand towards the golden greatblade, and the yellow robe on his body flared with light, increasing his escape speed by more than double.

As he fled, he took out a small yellow hammer, which instantly grew to the size of a small mountain and smashed it towards the silver light screen.

"Boom!"

A deafening roar sounded, and the silver light screen immediately bulged significantly, spiritual light flickering.

With a dull clang of metal on metal, the golden greatblade sent the yellow iron stick flying and then struck the silver light screen forcefully.

The golden greatblade was formed from a Tier 4 spirit talisman, while the silver light screen was only a Tier 3 formation. Wang Qingling, who controlled the formation, was only at Core Formation Stage Two; she couldn't possibly block it.

With a loud bang, the silver light screen shattered like a mirror.

Lu Gang seized the opportunity to flee at high speed. His escape path happened to pass through a massive dark cloud, where lightning flashed and thunder rumbled. This dark cloud was the lightning tribulation summoned by Wang Qingjun.

Thinking of his partner, who had gone berserk and died at the hands of Wang Changsheng and his wife, a cold glint flashed in Lu Gang's eyes. He swung the yellow giant hammer in his hand towards the dark cloud.

"Boom!"

A deafening roar sounded, and the massive dark cloud was shattered by the yellow giant hammer, disappearing without a trace.

Inside the secret chamber, Wang Qingjun was guiding the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into his body. A vast amount of spiritual energy gathered in his Dantian.

The spiritual energy in Wang Qingjun's Dantian suddenly lost control, surging wildly. Some of his meridians were severed by the immense spiritual energy. Wang Qingjun spat out a mouthful of vital blood, and his face quickly turned pale.

"Who ruined my path! Who?!"

Wang Qingjun's face showed unwillingness as he gnashed his teeth and spoke, a cold light flickering in his eyes.

He had been in seclusion for over ten years, and after great effort, had finally managed to summon the lightning tribulation, only for it to be interrupted. Without the baptism of the lightning tribulation, his True Essence could not form a Golden Core. Theoretically, he still had over ten years of lifespan, but this was different from merely failing to break through to the Core Formation stage. He was interrupted at a critical moment, and multiple meridians were ruptured, meaning he would never again have the chance to attempt Core Formation in this life.

A reminiscent look appeared on his face as various past events surfaced in his mind. From his Qi Refining stage, he had hunted demonic beasts with Wang Qingshan, growing amidst mountains of corpses and seas of blood, escaping death multiple times. He fortuitously entered the Golden Sun Sect ruins to search for treasures and was teleported to a spirit stone mine, where he peacefully mined. Later, he followed the family to develop in the South Sea, traveled around with Wang Changsheng, and luckily discovered an ancient cultivator's cave dwelling, obtaining Core Formation spiritual items. After over ten years of seclusion, he finally attracted the lightning tribulation, and he had a high degree of certainty of breaking through to the Core Formation stage. But at this critical moment, he was interrupted, and multiple meridians were ruptured. How could he possibly accept this?

"You're asking for death!"

Wang Changsheng's furious voice suddenly rang out. Wang Qingjun and Wang Qingqi had actually summoned lightning tribulations simultaneously at this time. Compared to Wang Qingqi, Wang Changsheng had higher hopes for Wang Qingjun. Wang Qingqi spent most of his time refining pills, while Wang Qingjun had fought his way through mountains of corpses and seas of blood, making his magic power purer. Now, with Lu Gang disrupting Wang Qingjun's attempt to break through to Core Formation, Wang Changsheng was exceptionally furious.

His aura surged while Wang Ruyan's aura rapidly weakened. Wang Changsheng slapped the void, and the void above Lu Gang's head rippled. A blue giant palm, over ten zhang in size, appeared out of thin air, its surface filled with numerous blue electric arcs, and slapped down fiercely.

Lu Gang naturally dared not meet it head-on; he wanted to avoid it.

The sea below violently churned, and a massive ape emerged from beneath the sea. It was the Sea Suppressing Ape.

The Sea Suppressing Ape let out a long howl skyward, emitting an extremely bizarre roar.

Upon hearing this sound, Wang Qiuhong and the others felt dizzy and disoriented, their bodies weak. They went limp and fell directly to the ground. Wang Qingling felt her body become soft and weak, without an ounce of strength, unable to even stir a trace of magic power.

Spirit Suppressing Roar, the Sea Suppressing Ape's unique divine ability, can cause cultivators to temporarily lose their magic power. Only ancient sects like the Sea Suppressing Sect, with a history of ten thousand years, could tame such powerful spiritual beasts as the Sea Suppressing Ape.

Lu Gang discovered with horror that he could not mobilize any magic power. The blue giant palm accurately struck him.

A scream sounded, and Lu Gang rapidly plunged towards the sea surface.

Before he could fall into the sea, a dazzling purple light shot forth, accurately striking his body.

Purple Moon Profound Light, the Purple Moon Fairy's unique spirit art, can immobilize enemies for a period of time.

Lu Gang was hit by the Purple Moon Profound Light and was immediately fixed in mid-air, unable to move.

Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan flew high into the sky. Wang Changsheng's aura rapidly weakened, while Wang Ruyan's aura rapidly surged.

Wang Ruyan's gaze turned cold. She used two fingers to pull a slender zither string taut, then released it.

An invisible sound wave shot out at extreme speed. Wherever the sound wave passed, a piercing screech lit up the void, as if the void itself was about to be torn apart.

The sound wave rapidly swept over the sea surface, causing the seawater to churn violently, as if an invisible giant hand was pushing the water.

When the sound wave reached Lu Gang, waves over ten zhang high rose from the sea surface.

Lu Gang could not move, but he could now mobilize his magic power.

The Barbarian Race possessed the bloodline of ancient giants and were natural body cultivators. Lu Gang was a descendant of the Barbarian Race and cultivated body refining techniques, making his physical body far superior to that of ordinary cultivators.

He let out a roar, and countless yellow spiritual patterns appeared on his body. A series of cracking sounds of bones echoed within his body, and his stature grew by more than a full circle.

He had once withstood attacks from Tier 2 magic treasures head-on. He refused to believe that Wang Ruyan's attack could kill him.

What he didn't know was that Wang Ruyan's attack, amplified by the Darkwater Divine Light, had its power increased by more than twofold. It was completely beyond his ability to resist. Furthermore, Wang Ruyan's attack was a sound wave attack.

The blue sound wave swiftly passed through Lu Gang's body. There was not a single scratch on Lu Gang's body, but his internal organs were all shattered. He was dead beyond any doubt.
