Chapter 487 - 247: With Palm Thunder, I Annihilate All Four Directions
"Five Elements, Palm Thunder!"
Zheng Yi stretched out his hand, not even bothering to use the Nine Heavens Thunder-Controlling Divine Talisman.
The Thunder God Talisman is a consumable here, diminishing with each use.
These people aren’t worthy of him expending resources.
The Talisman Seed Body flickered slightly, as rays of light emerged from him, drawing down the lightning above his head.
Suddenly, a dark cloud appeared out of thin air, and one after another, dazzling silver electric lights tore through the surrounding dark clouds. The dreadful power hung like a Treasure Sword overhead, seemingly capable of erupting at any moment.
"Defend!"
Feiyu of the Divine Arrow Dao, gazing at the dazzling lightning hanging in the sky, showed a hint of fear in his eyes, then shouted loudly.
However, just as he spoke, within the clouds covering the sky, brilliant silver light dragons lifted their ferocious heads, emitting suffocating killing intent as they descended, crashing down from above.
In an instant, several screams rang out. Without needing to look, it was clear that some cultivators couldn’t withstand the thunder’s assault and were killed amid the flashing power of thunder.
But Feiyu of the Divine Arrow Dao, reacting swiftly, his aura trembling, was enveloped by a surge of Magical Power. A noble Jade appeared before him, carved with dragons and phoenixes, bursting into radiant brilliance and forming a protective shield to block the first strike of Divine Thunder.
Yet the thunder’s power was immense; the strike against the shield’s surface caused it to tremble incessantly, seeming to verge on collapse.
It could only be said that the body containing a formidable Talisman Seed allowed Zheng Yi to evolve it to a higher level. Coupled with the enhancement of the Small Five Elements Body’s origin, he could elevate the thunder’s power to an extraordinary extent even when casting the most ordinary Thunder Technique, "Palm Thunder."
It was an exceptionally terrifying increase, vastly extending the power and inflicting substantial damage on opponents.
"A one-time use defensive treasure? It’s a fine item, but can it withstand several Palm Thunders?"
"Again!"
Zheng Yi took in everything that happened, the battle being on an entirely different level, with a stark contrast in the power of unleashed magic.
Just like when Zheng Yi was in the middle stage, easily using the Five Ghosts Soul Lifting Palanquin to send off five Purple Mansion Cultivators.
Now, with his Divine Soul at the Core Formation Level, wielding the power of the Talisman Seed Body, manipulating the Five Elements Divine Light, and commanding the Five-Colored Thunder Slaying Power, he could effortlessly summon the Five-Colored Divine Thunder from above, its unleashed strength so immense that even a cultivator at the Peak of Purple Mansion level couldn’t resist it.
Let alone these few before him.
Bang! Bang!
As Feiyu of the Divine Arrow Dao and one remaining person barely withstood the first Divine Thunder using their Secret Treasures, Zheng Yi raised his hand again.
Their minds suddenly alarmed, they looked skyward, their eyes flickering with unimaginable fear and amazement.
Another even more formidable thunderbolt descended from the sky, crashing down toward their heads, its terrifying power letting them feel the arrival of death.
"I..."
Just as Feiyu of the Divine Arrow Dao wished to say more, the suddenly descending thunder shattered the space, completely concealing the individual within the raging thunder, their body dissipating amid the electric radiance.
The continuous strikes of two Palm Divine Thunders were exceedingly terrifying, burying four cultivators within the dense forest in merely a breath.
If not for the absence of witnesses, what happened here would be enough to shock any cultivator.
After effortlessly disposing of the ambushing Righteous Cultivators, Zheng Yi extended his hand, collecting the Space Storage Pouches of those who perished under the Divine Thunder, casually browsing through them, and immediately beaming with joy at the significant gains.
Truly, a horse not grazing at night will not fatten, and a man without windfall will not prosper.
The wealthiest are often Tribulation Cultivators, with good reason.
After all, the trade is licking blood from the blade edge.
Unfortunately, if not done well, it’s easy to lose one’s head.
With the fortune gained, Zheng Yi was quite pleased with his rewards.
After all, these individuals had targeted Demon Cultivators multiple times before, even alongside other Righteous Cultivators, amassing vast wealth, including some extremely precious Spirit Herbs and Essences, which Zheng Yi could make use of.
The scene he just experienced was all too easy for him; Zheng Yi didn’t even seriously engage and had already resolved the ambushing cultivators.
Next, his task was to continue forward without further delay.
...
In the depths of the dense forest, towering trees, lush and verdant, obscure everything.
Within this space, a so-called flight restriction seems to exist, leaving even Zheng Yi struggling to slightly elevate himself in flight. Prolonged time aloft brought a pressure from the skies, forcing him to descend and traverse on foot.
As for most other cultivators, they walked on two feet, even Sword Cultivators failed to fly high, finding it safer to walk than to expend vast Magical Power flying in the air.
Zheng Yi’s pace wasn’t slow as he faced various attacks on his journey.
Some came from Fierce Beasts, others from cultivators, among them not only Righteous Cultivators but also fellow Demon Dao cultivators.
One could say, in this space, everyone seems indistinct between friend and foe, demonstrating primitive methods of struggle, where anyone might be targeted.
For one reason only: benefit.
For in this contest, any cultivator surviving this long surely reaped riches and grew wealthier.
Naturally, they became thorns in others’ eyes and lambs waiting for slaughter.
Fortunately, Zheng Yi’s strength was formidable enough to dispel the troubles on his path, eventually arriving at the pivotal place indicated by the map.
This site was one of Zheng Yi’s ultimate objectives, the location marked on the map where the Heaven-Cutting Vine was said to exist.
...
"Hmm? Something’s amiss!"
Zheng Yi concealed his presence, using his Core Formation Divine Soul to suppress fluctuations in his aura. Simultaneously, changes in the Invisibility Rune Seed within his Blood Talisman Treasure Body masked his form and essence, rendering him akin to cold, lifeless stone or wood, silently lurking.
In the information left by the Divine Thought Patriarch, no precise details were documented concerning the area where the Heaven-Cutting Vine grew, nor what dangers it held.
But based on Zheng Yi’s common sense and all that occurred during his journey through the ancient environment of Sumeru Forest Cave Heaven, he understood one principle deeply.
Before treasures come danger.
The more precious the Spirit Herbs and Essences, the more likely mighty, terrifying life forms guard the area.
This is the Heavenly Dao’s law, a natural rule.
Moreover, with so many formidable existences inhabiting this place, caution is justified.
As Zheng Yi lay in wait, he discovered that the target location featured a towering tree. Yet within a range of several kilometers, aside from this tree standing motionlessly, the area appeared barren and desolate.
All around was silence, devoid even of usual bird and insect sounds.
This space seemed like a realm of death, the deathly silence inducing an unforeseen sense of unrest, as though all life forms had vanished, leaving a desolate land with only that lone tree standing.
When things deviate from the norm, something’s surely awry.
Upon surveying the area, Zheng Yi found no abnormalities, but the eerie quietness suggested it was a hazardous place.
As for the Heaven-Cutting Vine he sought, Zheng Yi found nothing immediate.
There are only three possibilities.
One, it isn’t here at all.
Two, over the long passage of time, it was plucked by a formidable Fierce Beast.
The third, which Zheng Yi leans toward, is that this particular death zone harbors unique circumstances, with the Heaven-Cutting Vine seemingly hidden.
