Chapter 670: The Five Thunder Forbidden Technique

Zhang Nuo's caution left Garuda deeply puzzled; even if the Chaos Insect King were formidable, under his protection, it wouldn't suffer even the slightest injury. Was there really a need for such a grand display?

Just as the Insect King lunged and missed, the Yama Son turned his head and said to King Pingdeng and Zhuanlun Wang:

"The two of you, things have reached this point; can you help this old man? You heard what the Human Emperor said just now; it doesn't seem to be false. We have no choice but to gamble!"

Zhuanlun Wang's brows furrowed tightly, and after a moment of thought, he said:

"Yama, you don't mean to use that move, do you? That is too dangerous. If any mistake occurs, you could easily perish!"

Now, of the Ten Kings of the Underworld, only these three remained; Zhuanlun Wang truly did not want anyone else to perish!

"Hehe! Everything began because of the Underworld. If I can trade my life to restore a pure world to the Underworld, it is worth it! My mind is made up! I only ask that you two lend me a hand!"

Seeing the Yama Son's resolute expression, Zhuanlun Wang and King Pingdeng nodded slightly in unison. Then, their figures split to the left and right, standing behind the Yama Son. As Yin Qi surged wildly from their bodies like two massive black dragons, it poured into the Yama Son's body!

With his body suddenly flooded with so much Yin Qi, the Yama Son's eyes widened, and a look of strain appeared on his black face! Then, his hands rapidly formed seals, and as a flash of spiritual light shone from his crown, a black Nascent Soul rushed out of his body!

The Nascent Soul's eyes were slightly closed, and it chanted silently. Coordinating with the main body's hand seals, an unusual power began to rise steadily within Wujian Diyu!

The Chaos Insect King, currently in a state of great rage, was completely unaware of this; his goal now was to slaughter Zhang Nuo! The fact that the Gold-Devouring Insects he had split off had been killed was a matter of paramount importance to the Insect King. Since they could kill the Gold-Devouring Insects, it was possible that his main body could also be breached!

Being able to contend against more than a dozen Great Accomplishment Stage cultivators without falling behind was entirely due to this body. Once the body was breached, his remaining divine abilities would not be enough to oppose everyone!

Garuda exerted all his strength, Demonic Qi surging on his body as he unleashed several Magic Treasures at once, forming a formidable defense in front of himself and Zhang Nuo. At the same time, the remaining Great Accomplishment Stage cultivators also brandished their Magic Treasures, attacking the Chaos Insect King from behind!

They had all heard Zhang Nuo's words just now. This Human Emperor always gave others surprises; perhaps this time, he would not disappoint them! To cover Zhang Nuo, several Great Accomplishment experts raised the Spirit Power within their bodies to the peak, willing to risk death to hold the Insect King back!

However, the Chaos Insect King did not even look at their attacks, simply letting the Three Heads and Six Arms Chaos Dharma Image block everyone!

The cyan flames burning at Jiemie Heshang's chest transformed into a giant python several dozen zhang long, continuously bombarding the Three Heads and Six Arms Dharma Image, but it had no effect at all! The Dharma Image was like an immovable god, ignoring the combined attacks of the few!

Hiding behind Garuda, Zhang Nuo's expression became extremely grave. His Divine Sense swept toward the Yama Son and the other two, and upon seeing they were preparing some powerful secret technique, his heart nearly jumped into his throat!

This attack offered only one chance! If it failed, everyone would perish in Wujian Diyu. Thinking of this, he gripped the Five-Colored Profound Crystal Stone in his palm even tighter!

Just before, when he killed the golden beetle, he was astonished to discover that the fully-formed Five-Colored Profound Crystal Stone was surprisingly hard!

A full-force strike had pierced the golden beetle's shell. At first, he couldn't understand it, but through Xuan Jin's explanation, Zhang Nuo suddenly realized!

Xuan Jin was also a part of the body separated from the Chaos Insect King; in other words, the trait that allowed him to produce Mysterious Crystal Stones was also possessed by the Insect King!

The Chaos Insect King's peerlessly hard physical body was, to a large extent, due to the wonders of the Mysterious Crystal Stone! When Zhang Nuo used the Five-Colored Profound Crystal Stone to attack the golden beetle, it was equivalent to his own spear attacking his own shield. Since the hardness of both was the same, the rest depended on whose cultivation was more profound!

Compared to Zhang Nuo, the golden beetle was naturally inferior. From this, Zhang Nuo deduced that as long as he could trap the Chaos Insect King for some time, allow him to fully channel the Yin and Yang Qi, and combine it with the power of the fully-formed Five-Colored Profound Crystal Stone, he could pierce the powerful physical body the Insect King relied on for survival!

Only Zhang Nuo knew all of this, and there was no time to explain too much to the others.

Boom! Boom!

Following two loud bangs, Garuda's figure was blasted back several steps. Just now, under two frenzied strikes from the Chaos Insect King, the three Magic Treasures in front of him had been destroyed!

"Give me your life!"

The Insect King let out a long howl and suddenly extended one hand. Gray light shimmered between his fingers, and ignoring the Garuda who had been blasted back, he grabbed toward Zhang Nuo instead!

Ever since Zhang Nuo killed the golden beetle, the Insect King had always had a bad premonition; only by killing Zhang Nuo would he feel at ease!

The Chaos Insect King's arm suddenly lengthened, becoming dozens of zhang long, tearing through the void to reach Zhang Nuo! To buy more time for the Yama Son, Zhang Nuo remained motionless. Behind him, within the Divine Sea vision, that bright moon spun with a *whoosh*, releasing countless Moonlight Essence!

As the Moonlight Essence condensed, it similarly turned into a giant white palm, pressing down toward the palm the Chaos Insect King was attacking with!

Boom!

The moment the gray and white giant hands made contact, Zhang Nuo felt his whole body tremble, as if he had been struck by a mountain ten thousand fathoms high! The white hand formed by the Moonlight Essence was eroded by the gray light on the Insect King's palm, shattering inch by inch!

Yet the Insect King's giant hand did not stop at all, continuing to grab toward Zhang Nuo! As his pupils suddenly constricted, the phantoms of the Four Great True Spirit Sacred Beasts within the Divine Sea vision roared in unison, rushing out together and opening their blood-red maws to tear at the Insect King's arm!

"Compared to this King! These so-called Sacred Beasts are trash!"

Roaring loudly, the Chaos Insect King's palm turned rapidly, striking four times in succession! Each strike hit the phantoms of the Four Great True Spirit Sacred Beasts!

In his ears, he heard four long, mournful cries, and the Four Great True Spirit Sacred Beasts instantly turned into faint spiritual light and vanished! It seemed this was already within Zhang Nuo's expectations; just as the figures of the four Sacred Beasts dissipated, the Five Thunder Clone rushed to the Insect King's proximity with a *whoosh*!

It stopped when it was still several zhang away from the Insect King! Immediately after, the Five Thunder Clone simultaneously pinched hand seals, and the electric arcs on their bodies surged! A Dharma Array the size of a zhang appeared under each of their feet!

"Let you taste the flavor of the Five Thunder Forbidden Technique!"

With a flash of cold light in his eyes, Zhang Nuo gritted his teeth and said! In the demon race cultivation manual, the Five Thunders Taboo Canon, a forbidden technique was recorded at the end, triggered by five types of strange thunder together! Because its power was too great, it was listed as a forbidden technique. Previously, Zhang Nuo dared not use it lightly.

After all, killing a thousand enemies meant losing eight hundred of one's own; although the Five Thunder Forbidden Technique was powerful, it also caused significant damage to the cultivator! But today, facing a powerful existence like the Chaos Insect King, he could no longer hold back!

The Insect King's gaze swept over, and he realized these five thunder clones were not right. For the sake of his own safety, he temporarily abandoned Zhang Nuo, retracted his arm, and grabbed toward the five thunder clones beside him!

But what he did not expect was that when his arm grabbed toward these thunder clones, it passed right through their bodies, and his touch could only feel the power of the electric arcs!

"This..."

The Insect King's expression changed. Just as he wanted to unleash another divine ability, at this moment, the Dharma Arrays under the Five Thunder Clone's feet hummed loudly. Suddenly, the five figures rapidly shrank into five light spots only the size of sesame seeds!

Don't look at these light spots for their small size; their power was extremely immense! With a *whoosh*, the five light spots of different colors instantly submerged into the high sky! Immediately after, on the ground where the Five Thunder Clone had just stayed, the Dharma Arrays expanded rapidly, and finally, the five Dharma Arrays of different colors merged together!

A rumbling explosion came from high in the sky, and ten thousand bolts of thunder descended at once. The thick electric arcs were as thick as water vats, twisting the surrounding void until it was completely shattered!

The Chaos Insect King flashed, wanting to hide in the distant sky. Not knowing the origin of these five-colored electric arcs, he dared not take them head-on!

But a bizarre scene appeared: no matter where his body moved, the previously merged Dharma Array would always appear under his feet! Like a ghost, he could not shake it off!

He cursed inwardly that it was bad! The Chaos Insect King knew that something must have been stained on his body earlier, which was why the Dharma Array could keep following him! And this Dharma Array was like a target; the five-colored electric arcs descending from the sky bombarded him continuously!

With a movement of his Divine Sense, the Three Heads and Six Arms Dharma Image returned to his side, let out a strange howl, and helped him block the falling electric arcs!

At the same time, high in the sky, beneath the numerous electric arcs, a faint phantom several zhang tall was forming. From the outline, it was a robust man, holding a large hammer in his left hand, while his right hand held something like a chisel!

Garuda looked up at the sky, his heart greatly shocked. The image of this phantom was exactly the legendary God of Thunder! Although it was somewhat faint, it could be seen clearly! He turned his head to look at Zhang Nuo again; at this moment, his eyes held only a violent color, and the Evil Qi on his body had almost materialized!

At this time, he saw the God of Thunder amidst the ten thousand thunders strike the chisel in his right hand heavily with the hammer in his left!

Hearing a rumbling explosion, a thin, pale purple electric arc moved at lightning speed and rushed to the top of the Chaos Insect King's head!
