Chapter 415: Five Elements Tribulation Thunder Hunting Banquet Begins

"I have said before, you are a talentless fool; your methods are nothing special."

White Bone Dharma Appearance opened its mouth, its tone exuding a chilling flavor; it bared a mouth full of glittering snow‑white teeth and looked down on Xi Wudi with great disdain, saying, "The chief among the heaven‑chosen of the Universe's Top Ten Orthodox Paths—you don't even weigh much."

The Universe cultivators present, upon hearing this, all felt somewhat disgusted in their hearts.

If Xi Wudi were not strong, how could he shatter a sky‑piercing giant peak with a single blow? The scattered corpses and severed limbs of nearby ferocious beasts and birds lie strewn haphazardly among the jagged ruins of giant stones.

Yet the Universe cultivators dared not speak further.

This battle is a clash of heaven‑chosen ones; if I speak too much and offend either side, I will die a miserable death.

Upon hearing the White Bone Dharma Appearance's mockery, Xi Wudi felt a fire burn in his chest—this was the first time in his life he had been subjected to wanton verbal abuse.

That White Bone Dharma Appearance simply looks down on me.

Facing my attack, the White Bone Dharma Appearance responds with utter nonchalance, seeking to shatter my invincible battle spirit and disturb my cultivation state.

As the foremost leader of the Universe's orthodox forces, the Taiyin Shengdi has always acted as the sect's representative in the world; its disciples always possess an invincible sense of superiority. Today the White Bone Dharma Appearance is overly arrogant, wishing to step on the Holy Son of the Taiyin Shengdi as a stepping stone.

"I have not yet exhausted my full strength; it remains uncertain who will fall like a deer."

Xi Wudi spoke in a cold voice.

The White Bone Dharma Appearance laughed with reckless abandon; seeing this, Xi Wudi strove to calm the turmoil in his heart, purifying his Dao heart, steadfast as a towering mountain.

"Hum"

The black ice sword emanated Taiyin cold energy—extremely yin and freezing, yin‑toxic and domineering, possessing a powerful freezing corrosive force capable of destroying everything around it.

In an instant, the massive stones melted, plants withered, all things entered a state of decay, falling softly to dust.

"God‑Destroying Sword"

Xi Wudi raised his head and let out a long howl; the black ice sword, wielding Taiyin cold power, flew through the air, reflecting the bright moon of the nine heavens, stirring waves of cold mist that enveloped this region of heaven and earth, as a piercing bird cry rang out from the sky, shaking the cosmos.

"Even one who hides his head and shows his tail dares to gesture and order me."

"Today I will sever your dharma appearance; someday I will exterminate your entire clan to quell my hatred."

Xi Wudi's icy gaze sparkled with cold light, his hands clasped behind his back as he spoke arrogantly.

"Boom!"

The waves of cold mist above the nine heavens were suddenly split by a supreme, majestic force; supreme sword intent tore open the cosmos, rapidly condensing around the black ice sword, and the bird cries upon it grew ever more vast.

Boom.

The black ice sword absorbed myriad sword intents, then suddenly unfurled a terrifying phantom of a ferocious bird.

This ferocious bird phantom took endless sword intent as its frame, absorbed Taiyin power as its meridians and flesh, quickly solidified, then enlarged and flared its wings, shaking with immense destructive waves.

Bang bang bang.

The land of the Heavenly Pole Ancient Abyss was ravaged downward by the supreme ice sword; the earth began to collapse, countless towering trees and giant peaks were engulfed, all tumbling into the abyss of the collapsing earth.

The heaven‑and‑earth‑destroying undulations echoed between heaven and earth, leaving the cosmos lightless, the four symbols and eight extremes in chaos, as if the apocalypse had descended at that very moment.

Boom.

That black ice sword, with myriad sword intents as its bones and Taiyin power as its meridians and flesh, finally revealed the form of a flying creature—an extraordinary, peerless ferocious bird forged entirely from supreme sword intent and Taiyin power.

The ferocious bird had three heads, each bearing a pair of horns, its eyes flashing with moonlight; its massive wings spanned thousands of feet, stirring wind and thunder as endless runes surged through the air, and anything touched by its immense destructive power turned to dust.

"Could this be one of the Heaven Sword Forbidden Techniques left behind by a Sword Immortal Elder of the Taiyin Shengdi?"

Just then, a cultivator with white eyebrows and eyes cried out in astonishment among the crowd.

The old man's hand veins bulged like twisted roots, trembling involuntarily as he pulled off the white beard from his chin.

The surrounding cultivators, upon hearing this, all changed expression, their faces filled with disbelief.

The reason the Universe's Top Ten Orthodox Paths and Heretical Paths have been able to suppress the Universe Cultivation World for countless ages is that their sects have given birth to immortals.

Immortals wield heaven‑defying methods; with a gesture, laws converge, enabling them to open heaven, split earth, boil seas, and burn stars.

That Heaven Sword Forbidden Technique consists of three forms, left behind by a Taiyin Shengdi cultivator who had attained the supreme Sword Dao and ascended.

It is said that the Heaven Sword Forbidden Technique lies upon an ice‑sealed spot in the Taiyin Shengdi, formless and characterless, preserving only sword intent; only a peerless Sword Dao genius can perceive the Heaven Sword True Principle.

This is also why, throughout the history of the Universe Cultivation World, the Heaven Sword has never manifested in the cultivation realm—because perceiving the Heaven Sword True Principle is excessively demanding.

The cultivators of the Universe Cultivation World, gazing upon the heaven‑coiling giant ferocious bird whose body radiated world‑destroying sword power, all changed expression, their chests heaving violently, even their breathing growing disordered.

The Heaven Sword Forbidden Technique, created by the Sword Immortal of the Taiyin Shengdi, can open heaven and destroy earth; how can the White Bone Dharma Appearance resist it?

Boom.

The powerful ferocious bird, wielding a vast sword intent and carrying the momentum to destroy heaven and earth, swoops fiercely upon the White Bone Dharma Appearance, aiming to slay gods and demons and cleanse the world.

Zizzle.

Just then, the White Bone Dharma Appearance moved.

Jade‑like finger bones bore mysterious golden runes; as they moved rhythmically through the void, the surrounding cosmic forces instantly sprang to life.

The lights of the five elemental primordial laws—metal, wood, water, fire, earth—flashed in the air; as the finger bones slid, they writhed rapidly, gradually forming a massive rune.

The traces of the finger bones' sliding appear slow, but in fact occur in the flash of lightning and flint.

For each slight slide of the finger bones, the power of the five elemental primordial laws weaves an immense formation trace in the sky.

Upon those traces lies boundless majestic power; each newly emerged line blocks the giant ferocious bird's front, melting its surrounding supreme sword intent.

After merely three breaths, a vast, immeasurable giant rune took shape in the void.

At this moment.

All the Universe cultivators around felt their scalps tingle, their souls seemed to jump uncontrollably, their eyes bulging almost to pop out.

They actually saw an incomparably huge golden rune spread between heaven and earth, beginning at the earth and ending at the heaven, standing upright.

The powers of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, electricity, rain, snow, black, and white all blossomed upon the giant rune, giving the feeling that the rune was opening heaven and earth.

The Universe cultivators, seeing this, all felt their temples throb involuntarily.

The giant rune's vastness exceeded their ordinary comprehension; upon it appeared endless visions—stars, moons, celestial bodies, black holes, falling stars—manifesting, intertwining, and unfolding.

That giant rune is like the source of all things; it can transform all of heaven and earth, and also bury all beings of heaven and earth.

Boom boom boom.

All the phenomena on the giant talisman manifested as electric glows of various colors, quickly condensing together according to the power of the law's origin, until finally the electric patterns on the giant talisman retained only five colors: yellow, green, blue, red, and black.

The five-colored thunder, like the origin of the heavenly and earthly thunder Dao, within the dazzling electric light flashing above, had boundless phenomena unfolding.

"Five Thunder Talisman, issue!"

The White Bone Dharma Aspect's solemn voice rang out in the air.

As its words fell, it was as if the Tianji Shengyu had exploded, an unprecedented deafening roar stabbing the ears of every cultivator.

The Five Elements Thunder Dao law, with the momentum of destroying heaven and earth, sweeping away Huanyu, directly blasted the incoming sword-intent flying beasts, and the violent surge wildly swept in all directions.

Bang bang bang.

The void collapsed between heaven and earth, a void storm swept through the region, overwhelmingly crushing everything.

Everything, anything that existed within the destructive great storm, vanished instantly.

Within the space, only the ravaging sound of world destruction remained; all the watching cultivators were frightened and fled in all directions, some even screaming in terror.

That piercing cry for help had just uttered a single word when the person vanished in smoke amid the fearful gazes.

Rumble rumble rumble.

Rolling thunder rumbled between heaven and earth, and unexpectedly a violent rainstorm formed within the destructive storm, pouring down onto the land; wherever it passed, everything was blasted away by the rain.

Rumble rumble rumble.

The terrifying fluctuation of destroying heaven and earth gradually weakened, yet between heaven and earth there remained the sound of thunder gradually diminishing and raging.

In the endless distance, Huanyu cultivators gazed upon the Tianji Ancient Abyss, which was nothing but a huge pit; their souls trembled uncontrollably, and their hearts leapt up to their throats in shock.

Too terrifying.

The destructive fluctuation just now was something they had never seen in their lives; even describing it as the end of the world would not be an exaggeration.

Huanyu cultivators gazed upon the enormous chasm in the Tianji Ancient Abyss, stretching over a thousand li; now only a single, immensely vast White Bone Dharma Aspect suppresses Huanyu, and within the pit, chaotic forces of law rage upon the White Bone Dharma Aspect.

"Fortunately we ran fast, otherwise we would definitely have died."

A Huanyu cultivator said, trembling with fear.

He gazed at the Tianji Ancient Abyss, where within a thousand li it had instantly become a barren wasteland, and his heart could not calm for a long time.

"Look quickly.

"The heaven-chosen ones of all the major sects have disappeared."

At that moment, a Huanyu cultivator recalled that Xi Wudi and others who had appeared earlier in the Tianji Ancient Abyss, after the catastrophe's devastation swept through, the holy sons and daughters of all the major sects of Huanyu had left not a trace.

The cultivators of Huanyu's major sects began to speculate in disbelief.

"The White Bone Dharma Aspect points a finger, transforms into a talisman that connects heaven and earth; with a single move, could it not have slaughtered the holy sons and daughters of Huanyu's eight major sects?"

"That is entirely possible; just look at the barren land formed, still entwined with chaotic laws, and it proves it."

"Truly an eye-opener; the White Bone Dharma Aspect is simply too terrifying—such a supreme existence landing in the Tianji Shengyu, who would dare act recklessly?"

"I firmly believe that the Longyuan Yao Shi could be an immortal; otherwise, how could they possess the means to destroy heaven and earth?"

"Damn it, after this I must obtain the Penguin Jade Slip; offering faith via a jade slip will grant the Longyuan Yao Shi's protection—truly absolutely awesome."

Huanyu cultivators were all engaged in shocked discussion.

At that moment, seven bloody streaks of light shot out hastily from the huge pit, and as soon as those seven streaks appeared they scattered in all directions, not willing to stay even a moment in the Tianji Ancient Abyss.

These seven people are precisely the surviving holy sons and daughters of the major sects.

Just as that five-elements frenzied thunder fell, fortunately they seven joined forces, unleashing their strongest trump cards, thereby barely preserving their lives; nevertheless, even so they still paid a heavy price.

Their souls' bodies were struck by the powerful five-elements catastrophe thunder like tattered rags, with not a single intact spot.

They now desperately wish to escape this place, return to the bases of the various sects in the Tianji Shengyu, and use the Great Soul Elixir to restore their souls' bodies to a sieve-like state.

As for Xi Wudi, his soul is surely annihilated.

Even though the seven of them together paid a heavy price, how much more so for Xi Wudi facing the five-elements catastrophe thunder alone—under the violent slaughter of the thunder Dao's origin, not a trace of spiritual awareness could surely be retained.

The White Bone Dharma Aspect sat cross-legged in the void, its bones crystal-clear like jade, upon which golden runes flashed; its terrifying aura was astonishing, and as its brows and eyes opened and closed, the forehead bone emitted a dazzling radiance.

All the cultivators present were greatly startled.

"How did the mist arise?"

Huanyu cultivators let out repeated cries of alarm.

This mist seemed to have directly broken out of space; cultivators probing with their divine sense found only an endless expanse of white nothingness, so much so that even the Tianji Ancient Abyss had vanished without a trace.

This terrifying discovery instantly filled all the cultivators present with dread.

All the familiar cultivators hastily gathered together, fearing that a sudden horrifying change would befall their surroundings and threaten their lives.

"What on earth is happening, why is this place again?"

From the vast white mist came a hysterical voice.

The Huanyu cultivators present, upon hearing it, all changed color, for it was the voice of Lu Luo, the holy son of Lu Yan Valley; obviously Lu Luo had encountered the most terrible trouble, unknown what dreadful calamity he had fallen into.

"Open!"

Lu Luo's voice again rang out anxiously in the air, with the sound of dangdang bells echoing within the space; people only saw a soft light flickering uncertainly in some direction of the white mist, yet could not tell east from west at all.

Bang.

Ah.

From the white mist came the sound of a magical treasure being crushed, immediately followed by a piercing wail; the Huanyu cultivators huddled together shuddered in fright.

"Lu Luo actually died."

In the white mist, Huanyu cultivators exclaimed, their faces filled with utter shock.

Wuu wuu wuu

Surrounding yin winds howled furiously, with the sound of Huanyu splitting apart; terrifying power rippled, causing a patch of mist in the vast white haze to boil, there roaring incessantly, as if exerting all effort to oppose something immensely terrifying.

It was obvious that many treasures had been shattered, for the white mist was filled with various metallic cracking sounds, making the Huanyu cultivators feel their scalps go numb.

「Bang」

At that moment, amidst the mist, the sound of bones shattering was heard again; clearly, cultivators had clashed palms, and one cultivator let out a hysterical scream.

Huanyu cultivators saw sparkling treasure blood scattering in the depths of the white mist, with wind and lightning power coiling around it.

「Zi Fu Zi Tian You also fell. 」

Huanyu cultivators were so frightened that their faces turned alternately green and white, and their voices trembled.

Their spirits were under tremendous pressure, gradually showing a tendency to collapse.

All Huanyu cultivators began to lose their composure, all wondering why the White Bone Dharma Aspect would do this.

The White Bone Dharma Aspect's peerless slaughtering thunderbolt methods made Huanyu cultivators feel that this was an unsurpassed Shi Shen, casually reaping the lives of those peerless powerhouses.

「Let me go, let me go

I am willing to give everything.

I was forced.

From now on, I dare not oppose the Supreme Clarity Sect.

Don't kill me!

「Ah. 」

Huanyu cultivators knew that the person calling for help was the Holy Son Fu Ji of the Assist Yang Sect, who in the white mist also could not escape death's fate.

The Huanyu cultivators were all anxious.

The White Bone Dharma Aspect, with an attitude of looking down on Huanyu, treated the heavenly prodigies of all the major Dao lineages present as prey; now the hunt banquet begins.

The holy sons and daughters of all the major Dao lineages were all treated like mice, to be mocked and hunted.
