A Sect from a Spirit Vein

Chapter 489: Chapter 438: Ants Against a True Immortal

The only response he received was the rumbling thunder.

Purple thunderclouds covered the sky, blocking the sunlight, changing the colors of heaven and earth. Thick arcs of electricity and lightning danced within the clouds, gathering into a sea, replacing the sky, as if they would crash down in the next moment, destroying everything in the world.

In that instant, Lu Qian felt his entire body trembling. Under this sea of purple thunder, he was but a drop in the ocean, not even an ant!

Is this really the Nine Heavens Thunder Killing Celestial Monarch? Is this the might of a True Immortal?

The Thunder Light grew even brighter. Enormous thunder beasts, as large as mountains and of various shapes, frolicked in the sea of thunder, while thousand-mile-long Thunder Dragons roared and rolled amidst the purple clouds.

Just a glance filled him with a sense of worship and reverence, leaving his mind blank.

As the thunder roared, all living creatures bowed their heads. Lightning metamorphosed, and all things stood in solemnity!

The Miao Fa Celestial Monarch screamed loudly, ”Life and Death Celestial Monarch! How dare you descend to this realm!”

But the thunder roared with no response. The Miao Fa Celestial Monarch shouted again, reaching out with a gesture. The already collapsed hills shook the earth and mountains, dirt and rocks crumbled, and something rumbled up from the ground.

It was the altar that was originally buried underground!

The Jade Altar was now emitting a dazzling red light. The green Square Tripod trembled loudly, spewing forth a fountain of white bones!

Master Cangfeng watched in shock as human bones gushed from the small Square Tripod like a fountain, forming a river of skeletal bones.

Densely packed, numbering in the thousands!

The Miao Fa Celestial Monarch closed his palm, and in an instant, thousands of skeletons transformed into a pile of gleaming bone powder.

This bone powder surged like a river, gathering next to the Miao Fa Celestial Monarch, continuously compressing and condensing behind his head, finally forming a halo of pale light, surrounded by ghostly flames, known as the Immortal Spirit Light Wheel.

The sharp sounds of trumpets, suonas, and bronze cymbals played again. On the originally snow-white robe of the Miao Fa Celestial Monarch, twisted faces appeared. These faces tore at the corners of their mouths, with mouths taking up half their faces, screaming, shouting, and roaring with fervor.

”Follow my talisman, and the three disasters will not approach!”

”Hold my method, and the ten thousand calamities will not invade!”

”Offer your flesh and blood, and ascend to supreme bliss!”

”Sacrifice your Divine Soul, and together, enter the Immortal Court!”

...

With the Jade Altar glowing red below his feet, the rapidly spinning Square Tripod in his hands, and the light wheel behind his head floating with ghostly flames, surrounded by deafening magic sounds, the Miao Fa Celestial Monarch soared into the sky, heading towards the vast sea of thunder.

”Life and Death Celestial Monarch, what can you do to me?”

At this moment, the entity in the sky seemed angered. The sea of thunder surged like a tide, and countless silver serpents danced in the thunderous display. A rumbling voice resonated across the universe, seemingly composed of countless thunderous noises.

”A mere Split Soul, how dare you act so wantonly!”

Boom!

From within the sea of thunder, a pitch-black lotus emerged. With just a glance, Lu Qian felt searing pain in his eyes, as if they would burst, with thin lines of blood already flowing from his eye corners.

The Miao Fa Celestial Monarch screamed, and as he lifted the Square Tripod in his hand, the black Thunder Lotus, carrying an aura of world-destroying terror, struck heavily upon his body!

A flash of black light, like a black sun rising in the sky!

The rolling thunder shook the heavens and the earth. For a moment, Lu Qian’s ears went deaf; he could hear nothing anymore.

A massive wave of air descended swiftly from the sky. Master Cangfeng and Lu Qian were forcefully shoved into the ground, with soil filling their mouths and noses.

Recovering from unspeakable shock, Lu Qian scrambled to emerge from the ground, shaking off the black mud covering his eyes.

Looking up, he saw the sea of thunder rapidly receding, the thunderous rumbling moving farther away, revealing the clear blue sky, and the sun once again shining brightly.

The Life and Death Celestial Monarch has gone?

But, in the sky, the figure of the Miao Fa Celestial Monarch still hung high!

For an instant, Lu Qian’s breath stopped, his blood turned cold. Had the Miao Fa Celestial Monarch won?

However, in the next moment, he saw the Miao Fa Celestial Monarch’s body begin to crumble bit by bit, like fine sand blown away by the wind, dissipating into the heavens and the earth!

The Miao Fa Celestial Monarch, or rather a Split Soul of him, was slain by the Life and Death Celestial Monarch!

It’s unknown how long passed before Lu Qian finally heard his own heavy breathing, finally recovering from dizziness, deafness, and muteness. He looked blankly to the side, meeting the equally dazed gaze of Master Cangfeng.

Both opened their mouths, yet neither could say a word. They turned their heads again, looking at the azure sky.

The sky had returned to tranquility, as if nothing had happened, but the series of shocking images were deeply etched in Lu Qian’s heart, filling his mind, never to be erased.

Is this, immortality?

The ultimate dream of all cultivators—to ascend and become a True Immortal.

In his eyes, the vast heavens and earth, yet in the eyes of a True Immortal, they could be overturned with a wave of the hand!

Such should be the ambition of a great man!

In that instant, past dreams and aspirations surged back into his heart. Lu Qian felt his heart pounding like drums and blood boiling like fire.

The desire for power and strength reached its peak, the flames of ambition burning ever fiercer.

If he can attain the position of True Immortal, so can I!

Not only will I ascend to the Immortal Realm, but I will also raise the Yunshan Sect to the Immortal Court. I want to lead all those I care about, standing upon the clouds, overlooking the world!

Lu Qian struggled to stand up, working hard to circulate his Spiritual Power and Divine Sense, restoring the vitality of his body.

Of course, now is not the time to aim too high; there is still a great catastrophe ahead that must be overcome, to break out of the cocoon and transform into a butterfly.
