Chapter 1973 Leaving this Realm, Lei Yuan Returns!
As Cheng Buzheng's voice rang out...
This also pulled Sha Minghong's mind back from his memories.
He concealed the murderous intent and complex emotions in his eyes, his expression turning serious again, and slowly spoke:
"This is a struggle for the Great Dao!"
The path of cultivation is inherently like rowing against the current, a world where the strong prey on the weak.
Those cultivators who can comprehend top-tier laws are almost all cultivators from top-tier forces.
Once you reveal your ultimate laws, you will attract enemies who are trying to comprehend those laws!
Precisely because of this.
For each law, only one cultivator can reach the end.
The struggle for the Great Dao is a fight to the death!
Unless you abandon the top-level laws you are studying.
otherwise.
Any cultivator who comprehends this law will stop at nothing to kill you.
"You know the dangers involved; I won't say more."
I'm leaving now. If fate allows, we'll meet again in the spirit world.
After saying that,
Without pausing, Shark Minghong transformed into a streak of crimson light, braving the terrifying and raging power of the lightning laws, and charged straight into the center of the ocean of lightning ahead.
He disappeared into the slowly rotating vortex of lightning, his figure vanishing instantly.
Only a faint crimson halo remained, vanishing in an instant amidst the sea of lightning.
at the same time,
Exposed to the raging lightning, Cheng Buzheng had a sudden thought...
The remaining power of the laws within his body surged once more.
A layer of dark yellow light rose up again, firmly protecting him and resisting the onslaught of the surrounding lightning.
He stood in the void, his gaze fixed on the vortex of lightning, watching as Shark Minghong's figure completely disappeared, his expression complex for a long time.
There was a sense of relief, but also a barely perceptible sense of unease.
It wasn't until they were certain that Shark Minghong's presence had completely dissipated, leaving no trace whatsoever,
He slowly withdrew his gaze.
"It seems that Sha Minghong has really left. Now, I can finally rest easy."
Cheng Buzheng breathed a sigh of relief; the huge weight in his heart had finally been lifted.
Immediately, he silently sensed the rapidly dissipating power of the laws within his body, and his expression became solemn once more—
If they continue to stay here, their power of the laws will be completely exhausted before long.
By then, even if you want to leave, it will be difficult.
Without the slightest hesitation, Cheng Buzheng's mind raced, and his figure transformed into a streak of dark yellow light, no longer lingering, and he sped directly towards the outside of the Thunder Abyss Forbidden Land.
The thunder behind him continued to rage wildly.
……
The Thunder Abyss Forbidden Land, the boundary between the middle and outer layers, is shrouded in thick, dark purple thunderclouds year-round.
Layers of leaden-gray clouds piled up and lingered in the air, while countless tiny, silvery-blue lightning bolts moved and darted about like insects.
A deep, muffled sound lurked deep within the clouds.
The entire space was filled with a suffocating pressure, and the air was torn apart and trembled by the thunder.
Right there in this treacherous crevice of thunder...
A condensed stream of dark yellow light pierced through layers of thunder and mist, carrying a sharp, tearing sound as it swiftly traversed this dangerous boundary zone.
Within the flowing light, a figure concealed itself, desperately trying to break through to the outer edge of the forbidden area.
suddenly!
Above the sky, the previously dormant thunderclouds suddenly churned and surged violently.
A vast and boundless thunderous roar, seemingly originating from the very source of heaven and earth, suddenly exploded.
boom--!
A deafening thunderclap tore through the sky, and a raging torrent of purple-gold lightning suddenly swept across the land.
Dazzling lightning filled the sky and earth, its blinding light completely engulfing the entire hundred-mile-long airspace.
The space trembled violently.
Tiny black spatial cracks kept appearing and rapidly healing under the impact of lightning.
The raging power of lightning crushed the surrounding floating pebbles, and even the lightning-based spiritual energy in the air became violent and chilling.
The entire area within a hundred miles was transformed into a terrifying prison of lightning.
Caught off guard, the streak of yellow light that had traversed the lightning domain suddenly stopped.
The protective aura surrounding the outer layer of light trembled violently, and fine cracks kept appearing on its surface.
In a mere instant, the thin barrier of spiritual light was torn apart and annihilated by the raging lightning.
The brilliant, dark yellow luster quickly dimmed and dissipated within the sea of lightning.
The light shattered, and a disheveled figure, having lost all support, plummeted uncontrollably from the churning thunderclouds, its body thrown heavily out of the air.
The person's clothes were tattered, and the spiritual energy surrounding him was weak and dissipated.
Even from a great distance, one could sense the stagnation and depletion of spiritual energy within him.
Yes,
The figure, battered and bruised, who had fought his way back from the middle level of the Thunder Abyss Forbidden Land, was none other than Cheng Buzheng.
In mid-air, Cheng Buzheng's face was deathly pale, a faint metallic taste rose in his throat, and his meridians throbbed with pain.
He clearly sensed that the power of the laws flowing within his body was nearing depletion.
In the critical moment, he gritted his teeth and forcibly mobilized the last remaining power of the laws within his body to erect a thin, transparent shield on his skin once again.
The protective shield shimmered faintly, seemingly fragile, yet incredibly refined.
It barely managed to isolate the raging, fragmented arcs of lightning from the surrounding area.
Using this temporary protection, he transformed into a dim afterimage and rushed towards the outer layer of the Thunder Abyss Forbidden Zone without regard for anything else.
In the blink of an eye, he finally broke free from the shackles of the middle-level lightning domain and arrived at the outer airspace of the Thunder Abyss Forbidden Land.
The instant we reached the outer layer...
The last trace of power of the law was completely exhausted, and the precarious protective shield on his body shattered, turning into specks of spiritual light that dissipated in the wind.
This moment.
Cheng Buzheng was revealed in the void without reservation.
He hovered in mid-air, panting heavily, his chest heaving violently, silently reviewing the perilous escape in his mind, feeling a deep sense of relief.
Fortunately, he spent several years exploring the Thunder Abyss Forbidden Land, figuring out the trajectory of lightning at the boundary between the outer and middle layers.
They also discovered the hidden patterns and routes of lightning strikes in this area with the lowest frequency.
This perilous lightning domain has changed very little over the centuries; even today, the laws governing the movement of lightning remain largely unchanged.
This gave him the confidence to break through safely.
Even more fortunately, when all his protective magical artifacts were destroyed and he was in dire straits...
Thanks to the protection and care of Shark Minghong, the depleted power of the laws within his body was slowly replenished, eventually recovering to 90% of its original level.
If he doesn't recover, forcibly turning back from the middle level will be too much for him to handle, as he won't be able to withstand the erosion of the lightning along the way. It will inevitably damage his very foundation and destroy his precious source of laws.
At that time, one's understanding of the laws will inevitably plummet.
Cheng Buzheng's eyes flickered slightly, and a faint, almost imperceptible sense of guilt rose in his heart.
Previously, during the journey he escorted Shark Minghong away from this world...
The two traveled together, seemingly open and honest with each other, but in reality, they were both wary of one another.
To guard against Shark Minghong's sudden betrayal and malicious intentions, he deliberately concealed the Thunder Pattern Line that he had painstakingly discovered.
In the cultivation world, people's hearts are unpredictable and killing is unpredictable. Keeping a trump card up your sleeve increases your chances of survival.
Even if the other party frequently shows goodwill and the chances of them going back on their word are very small, he must still keep a trump card for himself to counterattack.
Not afraid of ten thousand, just in case!
In case the other party changes their mind and launches an attack midway, this secret route will be his greatest reliance for protecting his own Dharma body and escaping from a desperate situation.
Before the thought could even form, another unexpected event occurred!
boom!
Above, in the dark sky, thick thunderclouds suddenly gathered and compressed, and a giant bolt of purple-gold lightning, tens of feet thick, took shape.
The lightning bolt, carrying an immense, destructive force, ripped through the gloomy sky, precisely locking onto Cheng Buzheng's location, and crashed down without warning!
Lightning exploded, shaking the heavens and the earth.
In the blink of an eye, Cheng Buzheng, who had just escaped the mid-level danger, was struck head-on by this domineering and unparalleled lightning of law.
Sizzle—!
A piercing electrical hum echoed through the void.
Pale purple arcs of electricity coiled densely around Cheng Buzheng's body, surging and burning along his skin and flesh.
His jet-black hair stood on end, his tattered robes were charred and curled by the lightning, and his exposed skin was covered in scorch marks, a dark patch.
It looked as if it had been burned by a raging fire, and its appearance was extremely disheveled.
However, a closer look reveals that beneath the seemingly tragic exterior...
This extremely powerful lightning strike did not harm his core.
Cheng Buzheng had cultivated diligently for many years, and his physical body had long been tempered to a level of hardness surpassing that of top-grade magic weapons, with his skin, flesh, tendons, and bones being extremely tough.
The mere outer layer of lightning was utterly incapable of penetrating his physical defenses.
The violent lightning swept over his body, leaving only superficial scorch marks.
Not even the slightest damage to the bones and blood was caused.
Immediately,
Cheng Buzheng calmed his mind and relied on his incomparably strong physical body to withstand the remaining lightning force. His muscles were tense, and he suddenly exerted his strength, breaking through the remaining lightning restraints and crossing out from the lightning-ravaged airspace.
Soon,
Outside the Thunder Abyss Forbidden Land, in a vast, empty void, a figure with tattered clothes, a black face, and hair standing on end suddenly appeared out of thin air.
Cheng Buzheng hovered in mid-air, his body still surrounded by scattered, fine arcs of lightning.
He slowly turned his neck, his cold gaze sweeping across the surroundings, his divine sense quietly spreading out to carefully explore the surrounding hundred-mile airspace.
After confirming that there was no one around and no cultivators were spying on them...
His tense back slowly relaxed, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the Forbidden Sea is now sealed off, and no one can set foot in this place without permission.
He muttered to himself, a hint of embarrassment on his face.
"otherwise!
If others were to see me in this disheveled and wretched state,
"Completely losing face, utterly humiliating."
As thoughts raced through my mind...
Cheng Buzheng's body trembled violently, and the tattered, charred robes clinging to his body were instantly shattered by spiritual energy, turning into countless ashes that drifted into the void.
The originally stiff, frizzy black hair quickly regained its softness under the nourishment of spiritual energy, becoming jet black and shiny, flowing smoothly and neatly draped over her back.
At this moment, he stood naked in the void, yet without the slightest unease. With a calm expression, he raised his hand and waved, and a set of elegant and dignified blue robes flew out into the air.
He moved swiftly and without the slightest hesitation, raising his hand to put on his clothes, tying the belt and adjusting them in one smooth motion.
In a short while, Cheng Buzheng, impeccably dressed, with an upright posture and elegant demeanor, reappeared in the world.
The previous disheveled and miserable state had vanished completely.
Only the faint traces of lightning remaining on the skin testified to the perilous encounter just now.
He stood still in mid-air, looking up into the distance.
There, dark clouds gather eternally, and violent lightning roams freely among the clouds. The dark and oppressive Thunder Abyss Forbidden Land quietly lingers between heaven and earth, exuding an age-old and unchanging danger.
A solemn, thoughtful expression slowly emerged in his dark, deep eyes.
"Before parting, Sha Minghong specifically mentioned his nemesis, that irreconcilable and deadly enemy..."
He murmured softly, his tone tinged with consideration and doubt.
"Could it be the calamity foretold in the divination I performed using the Luo River tortoise shell back then?"
The images from the divination he had seen in the past now appeared clearly in his mind.
Within the divination, he was alone, relentlessly pursued by a mysterious and powerful figure of unfathomable strength, fleeing for his life—a scene of bleak danger.
The divination text clearly marks the words "enemy of the Way".
"The divination almost clearly indicates that once I ascend to the upper realm, if the power of the laws I have comprehended is exposed, there is a 99% chance that I will attract powerful figures to hunt me down."
His brows furrowed, his gaze was deep and serious, and his tone grew increasingly heavy.
"This is an extremely inauspicious hexagram; there is no interpretation of its meaning."
If they were to be hunted down, there would be absolutely no chance of survival.
A cool breeze from the void swept by, causing his robes to flutter.
Cheng Buzheng's gaze became slightly unfocused as he stared intently at the dark and gloomy Thunder Abyss Forbidden Land in the distance, his brows furrowed and his expression complex.
a long time,
He exhaled a breath of stale air and let out a long, soft sigh.
"Thinking too much right now is pointless and will only cause more worry."
He suppressed his anxiety and concerns, and calmly considered the situation.
"When the day of ascension approaches, I will use the small disc to deduce a divine power that conceals the origin of the law."
Currently, he himself lacks sufficient spiritual resources and laws, so he simply doesn't have enough law points to support the deduction of secret techniques.
The spiritual objects imbued with the laws of the past have all been put to use and placed away.
Currently, there are no surplus spiritual items that can replenish the energy consumed by Xiao Die's deductions.
Even though he worried about the calamities that awaited him after ascension, he was ultimately powerless to help.
Therefore, it can only be put on hold for the time being.
Although he was not making any plans for the time being, he had already deeply remembered this calamity that concerned his own life and death, and kept it in mind at all times.
Immediately,
Cheng Buzheng sat cross-legged in the clear void, his legs together.
His eyes slowly closed, his aura subsided, and his spiritual energy flowed steadily throughout his body.
While appearing to be lost in thought and calmly regulating their breathing, their consciousness was actually constantly permeating the surroundings, maintaining a high level of vigilance.
Time slips away quietly, and years pass silently.
No one knows exactly how much time has passed...
It may be just a few months, or it may take three long years.
this day,
Cheng Buzheng, who was sitting quietly in the void, suddenly opened his tightly closed eyes.
A sharp, cold glint flashed from the depths of his pupils and then vanished in an instant, before returning to calm.
He raised his eyes and gazed into the distance, his gaze piercing through layers of air, landing once again on the Thunder Abyss Forbidden Land, where lightning crackled and never dissipated, as he calmly calculated in his heart.
"Time flies. More than seven years have passed since I escorted Shark Minghong away from this world."
He silently deduced the process in his mind, his thoughts clear and meticulous.
"It now seems that the other party has completely left this realm."
"after all!
Within the Thunder Abyss Forbidden Land, the relentless erosion by lightning has greatly depleted the power of the laws.
"Even though Sha Minghong's cultivation is profound, having already recovered to the Void Refinement Realm, and his internal laws are vast and powerful with deep foundations..."
There is absolutely no possibility of them staying there for years or more.
