Chapter 1059: Incarnation of Lightning

## Chapter 1075: Incarnating as Lightning

Guaiyuan Heavenly Venerable's physical body, infused with immortal metal, was indestructible. Even when the divine lightning scattered and landed on him, it had no effect. However, this was still five-colored divine lightning, and its dispersed power remained terrifying. Ordinary structures couldn't withstand such divine lightning, and everything within a hundred-mile radius, except for the Scripture Pavilion, was reduced to scorched earth!

"Divine Lightning Descends from Nine Heavens!""Vast Thunderous Sky!""Dutian Divine Thunder!"The Thunder Lord, unwilling to accept defeat, unleashed various forms of thunder tribulations. Though different in style, all were astonishingly powerful, far beyond what anyone in the Tribulation Crossing Stage could withstand. Facing these diverse thunder tribulations, Guaiyuan Heavenly Venerable continued to use his embryonic form of the Unity Dao Fruit, dispersing them all. No matter how powerful the tribulations were, they proved ineffective, infuriating the Thunder Lord who gritted his teeth.

Since direct attacks with thunder tribulations were ineffective, he decided to try a different approach. "Thunder Incarnation!" the Thunder Lord uttered a soft cry, his form transforming as his physical body completely converted into lightning. In his lightning form, the Thunder Lord's speed was incredible, instantly appearing before Guaiyuan Heavenly Venerable. Without hesitation, Guaiyuan Heavenly Venerable threw a punch. However, the punch passed right through the Thunder Lord, hitting only empty air!

"Haha, I'd like to see how you're going to hit me now!" The Thunder Lord laughed loudly. In this form, he feared no physical attack. What good was Guaiyuan Heavenly Venerable's sturdy body if he couldn't touch him, rendering all his techniques useless? At this moment, he was like the Thunder God patrolling on behalf of the heavens, holding the power of life and death over all beings and controlling all tribulations.

"That kid from Daqian is quite clever, transforming into lightning," the Immortal Fairy chuckled. "Yingtian Immortal used this move a few times; it's as elusive as a loach. He even boasted to me when he figured it out."

"So how do you counter this move?" Lu Yang asked, seeing that Grandmaster Guaiyuan was clearly at a disadvantage.

"Just blow him up a few times, and he'll behave."

"Grandmaster Guaiyuan can't use that method, can he?"

The subtlety of the Thunder Incarnation extended beyond this. Lightning was tangible but without substance, pervasive and inescapable. The Thunder Lord circled Guaiyuan Heavenly Venerable, launching lightning attacks periodically. Even with Guaiyuan Heavenly Venerable's strength, he couldn't possibly defend against all these attacks simultaneously. The embryonic form of the Unity Dao Fruit also couldn't integrate the Thunder Lord in his lightning form into space; that was something only a complete Dao Fruit could achieve.

"I patrol on behalf of the heavens; how can you defeat me? Quickly hand over the immortal box!" the Thunder Lord declared arrogantly. Indeed, in his lightning form, he had the right to speak with such confidence.

"Palm Thunder!" Guaiyuan Heavenly Venerable flipped his palm, and a golden bolt of lightning appeared within it, making the Thunder Lord want to burst out laughing. "He actually intends to use lightning to attack *me*, who possesses the embryonic form of the Calamity Dao Fruit?" However, Guaiyuan Heavenly Venerable made an unexpected move.

"Unite!" The palm lightning merged with Guaiyuan Heavenly Venerable, who also transformed into lightning! "I don't believe I can't touch this bastard!" Guaiyuan Heavenly Venerable delivered a mighty slap, nearly knocking the Thunder Lord unconscious. Both had transformed into lightning, finally able to make contact.

"Foolish and ridiculous! Don't you know I can control lightning?" Although Guaiyuan Heavenly Venerable's slap was sudden, the Thunder Lord quickly realized the advantage was still on his side. With Guaiyuan Heavenly Venerable transformed into lightning, he was now within his control! With a mere thought, he could manipulate Guaiyuan Heavenly Venerable's body at will. Whatever he willed Guaiyuan Heavenly Venerable to do, he would do, even commit suicide!

"Halt!" With just one word, the Thunder Lord pinned Guaiyuan Heavenly Venerable in place, unable to lift even a finger.

Just as the Thunder Lord was about to control Guaiyuan Heavenly Venerable and make him surrender the immortal metal box, he heard Guaiyuan Heavenly Venerable roar. "Unite!" The Thunder Lord's pupils constricted. He found his body uncontrollably flying towards Guaiyuan Heavenly Venerable, directly colliding and merging, with only their heads not yet fused! A single body with two heads, it appeared bizarre and terrifying. In this state, if the Thunder Lord wanted to harm Guaiyuan Heavenly Venerable, he would be harming himself. The Thunder Lord had never witnessed such a situation and didn't know how to control the body. Guaiyuan Heavenly Venerable seized the opportunity to gain control and punched the Thunder Lord's head, knocking out two teeth.

"You wanted to run, huh? Let's see how you run this time!" Guaiyuan Heavenly Venerable snarled, looking far from benevolent.

This couldn't continue. The Thunder Lord's mind raced, searching for a way out of the predicament. His embryonic Dao Fruit was related to integration. So why hadn't he simply merged them from the start? Was there a flaw in this move?

"Dispel!" The Thunder Lord dispelled his "Thunder Incarnation," reverting to his physical form. Just as he expected, the forced fusion was undone.

Guaiyuan Heavenly Venerable's fusion with others had a flaw: if both were in their physical forms, they needed mutual consent to merge, as the solidity of physical bodies imposed many restrictions on fusion. However, if one was not in physical form but in a loosely composed state like the Thunder Incarnation, then forced fusion was possible. Seeing the Thunder Lord return to his original form, Guaiyuan Heavenly Venerable also ceased his lightning incarnation, no longer acting as a living target.

"So, you can disperse thunder tribulations over a hundred-mile radius? What if *I* attack you with everything within a hundred-mile radius?"

"Calamity of Weak Water!" Although the Thunder Lord's divine title was "Controller of Thunder," he possessed the embryonic form of the Calamity Dao Fruit, which controlled not just thunder tribulations, but heavenly tribulations.

Weak water surged, submerging the Mountain-Moving and Sea-Filling Sect. Seeing this, the Grand Elder no longer hid in the precarious Scripture Pavilion. He immediately pulled everyone and fled outside the sect. The Thunder Lord was fully engaged in battle with Guaiyuan Heavenly Venerable and paid no mind to the fleeing crowd. Facing the weak water, which was so dense that even a goose feather couldn't float on it, Guaiyuan Heavenly Venerable merged with the earth, letting the weak water wash over him.

The ground swelled, and a giant, whose head touched the sky, emerged from the earth. Mountains also rested on the giant's back, making the already robust Guaiyuan Heavenly Venerable appear even more formidable. The weak water that submerged the Mountain-Moving and Sea-Filling Sect only reached Guaiyuan Heavenly Venerable's knees. The clash of two Half-Immortals was world-shattering.

Although Guaiyuan Heavenly Venerable held the upper hand, the Thunder Lord was no easy opponent. After thousands of exchanges, when both were nearly exhausted, the Thunder Lord finally realized he couldn't defeat Guaiyuan Heavenly Venerable and fled in disarray.

"Trying to run without apologizing? How could that be allowed!" Guaiyuan Heavenly Venerable suddenly found renewed strength. "How can this person be so rude? It's bad enough he won't admit defeat after losing, but he hasn't even offered the apology he owed earlier!"

"Are you insane?! Can't I just say I don't want the box anymore?"

The Thunder Lord grew desperate, once again transforming into lightning and rapidly increasing the distance between himself and Guaiyuan Heavenly Venerable, knowing that Guaiyuan Heavenly Venerable couldn't force a fusion if he was too far away. Just then, Lu Yang noticed Yun Mengmeng rapidly approaching in front of the two combatants. Originally, Yun Mengmeng had heard that the Mountain-Moving and Sea-Filling Sect was remote and difficult to find, worrying she might get lost. However, upon arriving nearby, she saw that the battle was clearly taking place at the sect and immediately rushed over without hesitation. Lu Yang quickly sent a telepathic message to Yun Mengmeng: "Sister Mengmeng, stop anyone flying towards you!"

"No problem," Yun Mengmeng replied. She hadn't expected to be entrusted with such an important task by the Second Boss right after arriving and resolved to do her best.

Boom!

Yun Mengmeng self-detonated. The Thunder Lord had never witnessed such a spectacle; the explosion directly shattered his lightning form, forcing him back into his original shape and injuring him considerably. Seeing this, Guaiyuan Heavenly Venerable excitedly shouted, accelerating his charge forward: "Well done, fellow Daoist! Help me catch this brat!" Yun Mengmeng was startled. Why was another person flying towards her?

Boom!

Yun Mengmeng strictly followed the Second Boss's command: anyone flying towards her must be stopped.

Guaiyuan Heavenly Venerable hadn't expected Yun Mengmeng to self-detonate a second time and was utterly bewildered. "Fellow Daoist, whose side are you on?" He had just endured a major battle and had little strength left; how could he withstand a self-detonation?

"Fellow Daoist, you..."

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Seeing that Guaiyuan Heavenly Venerable still had strength, Yun Mengmeng continued to self-detonate repeatedly, directly knocking him unconscious.

Soon after, Yun Mengmeng, holding Guaiyuan Heavenly Venerable in one hand and the Thunder Lord in the other, presented them to Lu Yang, seeking commendation. "Second Boss, I followed your instructions and brought everyone back!"
