Supreme Star Card Master

Chapter 1206: Chapter 985: Divine Thunder

Upon hearing Xiahou mention the treasure of this place, Su Yuan’s eyes also slightly shifted.

This struggle here is about seizing the Dragon Vein in terms of the larger trend, but for individuals, it’s about the secret treasure of the Ziwei Palace.

However, only one person can take the treasure...

”I’m not going to participate.” Huang Xiang immediately chuckled.

Xiahou scrutinized Su Yuan for a moment and said, ”Su Xing Lord, then... the secret treasure of Ziwei Palace will be yours to take.”

Su Yuan replied, ”Xiahou True Monarch, according to the prediction of this Star Official Jade Pendant, if it’s not wrong, then the secret treasure here is, in eight or nine chances out of ten, such a Divine Item...”

Xiahou said, ”Precisely because it’s a Divine Item, your cultivation of the Three Xiaos Divine Extinguishing Scripture needs it more than I do.”

”Our Great Flame’s Three Xiaos Divine Extinguishing Scripture, apart from its creator, no one else has been able to truly master it.

Su True Monarch’s talent and understanding are both extraordinary, even looking over Great Flame’s history of ten thousand years, you are an exceptional genius that’s hard to come by in a millennium.

If someone is most likely to master the Three Xiaos Divine Extinguishing Scripture, from my perspective, it’s you.”

Xiahou True Monarch paused and solemnly said, ”The future of Great Flame needs more outstanding newcomers, not us old undead relics.”

Su Yuan immediately said, ”Xiahou True Monarch, you’ve said too much. After this Earth Tribulation, the old tree rejuvenates, and surely you will be reborn!”

Su Yuan vaguely heard that amongst the True Monarchs, Xiahou’s age might be over eight hundred years old.

It’s because of Xiahou’s ability and the cultivation of the Green Emperor Technique, along with the Sky Patrol Department spending a massive amount of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, that he has been able to maintain his condition till now.

Beside him, Huang Xiang was greatly astonished upon hearing this, and couldn’t help but reassess this Azure Dragon True Monarch, who seemed stern and tough to get along with.

As the head of the Five Imperial, the Azure Dragon Imperial True Monarch can definitely represent the Sky Patrol Department.

This conversation reflects the internal atmosphere of the Great Flame Sky Patrol Department, which is quite different from the Qiguang Truth Secret Society... and even the Holy Temple!

After all... the Truth Secret Society was born from Qiguang’s extreme exploitation.

I won’t comment on who’s right or wrong, but undoubtedly Great Flame has more humanity and a sense of belonging.

Su Yuan is not one to waver or hesitate. After a brief consideration, he cupped his fists and said, ”Many thanks, True Monarch, for your help.”

Xiahou waved his hand and said, ”If it were the supreme treasure of the Wood Element, I wouldn’t let it go easily, I would definitely need to fight Su True Monarch for it...

However, I think this aging body of mine is most likely no match for you.”

Su Yuan said with a smile, ”True Monarch overpraises me; your mighty strength is unparalleled in what I’ve seen.”

Wood and Thunder aren’t at odds, Su Yuan knew this was Xiahou True Monarch not wanting him to carry any burden.

This Azure Dragon True Monarch truly has a cold exterior and a warm heart...

On Xiahou’s craggy yellow face appeared a slight smile. He shook his head, his expression turning solemn again as he said, ”Moreover, with so many experts from the Truth Secret Society outside, I wonder what’s the situation now, I must go out as soon as possible.”

Xiahou looked at Huang Xiang, ”Kid, are you coming with me?”

”Of course!” Huang Xiang nodded, his eyes focused, ”I’ve been waiting for this moment!”

Xiahou said no more, activating the Star Official Jade Pendant, and Huang Xiang followed suit.

Two beams of starlight descended, illuminating the two of them.

Su Yuan said to the two, ”Once I get the items of this place, I will come out quickly, you must be careful.”

Xiahou nodded, ”Okay.”

Huang Xiang remarked with concern, ”Su Yuan, if it truly is such a Divine Item, it’s probably not that easy to subdue. Be extra cautious yourself.”

Su Yuan smiled and nodded.

Then, with a flash of starlight, Xiahou and Huang Xiang’s figures disappeared before him.

Watching the two vanish, Su Yuan faintly had a feeling that perhaps without him, Huang Xiang could also shoulder quite a responsibility in this Earth Tribulation.

Not only going to the North Continent to acquire Mystic Soil but also surviving as the first experimental body of Qiguang.

Enduring through Qiguang for so many years, such an experience is no simpler than my own...

Moreover, just now, judging by his cultivation, he’s already at the Chongyang Limit, one step away from the Three Suns Realm.

If he could reach the Three Suns Realm, combined with the True Form Release from the Holy Blessing, along with his hidden identity... he might be able to reverse the situation and secure victory at a critical moment!

However, thinking of the intel given by Huang Xiang about the ’Fool’ and others, Su Yuan couldn’t help but furrow his brows...

”No matter what, I must first obtain the three Dragon Veins here...”

Su Yuan raised the Po Jun Star Official’s Jade Pendant overhead.

In an instant, myriad stars twinkled, and countless stars lit up in the night sky!

Among the myriad stars in the nocturnal firmament, a majestic, expansive, and splendid Heavenly Palace was suddenly outlined by infinite, dazzling starlight.

As if both illusory and real, both near and far, just by watching at such a distant sight, a primordial and solemn aura pervades!

”Ziwei Palace!” Su Yuan’s eyes focused.

”Buzz...”

At this moment, around Su Yuan, the once silent stars—Seven Killings, Po Jun, Tianfu...—the Star Officials’ high platforms once more arose.

Between the thirteen high platforms, starlight surged, drawing countless runic chains, forming a barrier that guided the heavenly light.

The next moment, endless starlight gathered, and a magnificent star pillar roared down from the Heavenly Palace, plummeting into the center of the thirteen platforms!

Su Yuan looked up at the Heavenly Palace, then stepped forward a few strides, entering the Ziwei Heavenly Palace within the towering star pillar!

After just a moment, Su Yuan’s eyes opened again, but he didn’t appear in the expected grand palace hall; instead, he found himself in a garden outside the hall, full of flourishing, enigmatic flora and sparkling treasures all around.

And ahead, a middle-aged man wearing a luxurious purple robe with a jade pendant hanging from his waist was standing there with his hands behind his back.

Seeing Su Yuan approaching, this man also turned around.

Though dressed in ordinary clothes, a peerlessly overbearing aura surged forth.

His features were rugged, his expression authoritative, with eyes like a starry night sky, purple lightning and thunder galloping within...

”Boom!”

Their gazes met, and Su Yuan felt as if ten thousand thunders exploded in his heart, shaking his very soul!

However, the Three Flowers Mark on his forehead lit up, and soon, Su Yuan regained his composure.

Looking again at the middle-aged man in the purple robe, Su Yuan quickly made some guesses.

”Emperor Ziwei... or, a residual soul?” Su Yuan asked.

The middle-aged man in the purple robe revealed a trace of surprise in his eyes: ”You really are perceptive, but... it’s not a residual soul, just a wisp of embodiment.”

”Embodiment?”

Su Yuan’s heart stirred. The fact that a mere embodiment, not even a residual soul, could possess such divine power proved its ties to the mythical Heavenly Emperor.

”That’s correct.” The middle-aged man in the purple robe raised his hand, his five fingers spread wide. ”Embodied here to manage this treasure!”

The middle-aged man’s eyes focused, and in his palm, a ball of purple mingled with strands of golden thunder began to crackle.

Su Yuan’s pupils shrank. In an instant, he felt a fierce and destructive aura emanating from the vast Heavenly Dao!

Currently, Su Yuan has encountered quite a few masters capable of wielding thunder.

Take just now as an example. Although Ting Kun’s True Form Release lightning was very strong, it was far from matching the fundamentally different lightning of the middle-aged man, which was purple tinged with gold!

Just like how an Epic Soul Card can be cultivated to the Burning Sun Level, yet it’s fundamentally and dimensionally different from a legendary-level Soul Card at the same level.

Based on the limited records of Divine Thunder in the department, Su Yuan also recognized this thunder.

”Purple Cloud Divine Thunder, it truly is this treasure!” Su Yuan’s eyes lit up.

Created by the Heavenly Dao, the Purple Cloud Divine Thunder was said to be capable of annihilating immortals and slaying gods, and was later given to Emperor Ziwei of the North Pole.

The middle-aged man in the purple robe spoke slowly: ”There are three dragon veins here. Originally, they weren’t from this place, and since you’re here, you may take them freely.”

”But that’s not all...” Su Yuan’s gaze fell on the purple-gold thunder in the middle-aged man’s hand, ”Since I’ve come here, this Divine Thunder... I must have it too!”

The middle-aged man’s eyes filled with interwoven lightning, said in a deep voice: ”The Divine Thunder does indeed need a successor, but... it’s not that easy, you might end up annihilated!”

Su Yuan chuckled lightly.

Having cultivated until now, he wasn’t frightened easily.

No matter how prosperous and powerful this place once was, no matter how many great beings there were.

Now emerging with the dragon veins to evolve a Secret Realm, its energy level isn’t even at King Level.

Below King Level, how could Su Yuan be afraid?

Su Yuan said: ”Please instruct me, sir.”

The middle-aged man examined Su Yuan, who seemed relaxed, nodded slightly, and with a wave of his hand, the purple-gold thunder in his palm slowly flew towards Su Yuan.

Su Yuan focused intently on this mass of thunder, until it touched his body...

”...!”

Thunder of a million pounds obliterated the garden, filling the entire world, and in an instant, the surroundings turned into a pool of purple-gold thunder!

The terrifying thunder light momentarily dimmed the world itself!

At the center of the Thunder Pool, Su Yuan had a grave expression, instantly unleashing Star Power to fully resist the might of this Thunder Pool.

At this moment, the middle-aged man flew over and asked Su Yuan: ”So, are you ready?”

Su Yuan squinted slightly: ”So, it hasn’t started yet?”

The middle-aged man laughed heartily: ”Of course not. I’m just a wisp of divine thought embodied, and what’s happening now is just preparation for unleashing the power of this thunder.”

After that, the middle-aged man formed seals with both hands, restrained his laughter, and solemnly said: ”Purple Cloud Divine Thunder, the Thunder of Heavenly Dao Derivation comprises seventy-two layers. If you can withstand them all, you may take this thunder.”

”Seventy-two layers...” Su Yuan looked towards the sky, eyes slightly narrowed.

”Zzzzap!”

Just then, purple electricity gathered in the high sky, and as thunder tangled, a bolt of purple lightning came crashing down!

”Infinite!”

As Su Yuan’s mind shifted, Infinite Power immediately spanned the sky.

”Boom!”

That purple lightning struck a spot above Su Yuan’s head but could descend no further.

”Oh, Space Power?” The middle-aged man was quite surprised, taking another good look at Su Yuan.

The purple lightning couldn’t descend further, and shortly after, it decisively burst apart.

However, this was only the beginning.

”Boom! Boom! Boom!!”

Thunder strikes fell one after another, each more overbearing, each more terrifying!

With only twenty-four layers of the Seventy-two Layers of Purple Sky Divine Thunder, the grand and majestic purple thunder almost pressed the Infinite Barrier onto Su Yuan’s head!
