Chapter 383

As one of the Seven Unfathomables, the Bronze Immortal Palace has always been shrouded in mystery.

Moreover, its appearance time and location are never certain.

It might truly manifest within the Ancient Immortal World.

Jun Xiaoyao kept this matter to himself and continued advancing through the Ancient Immortal World.

Undeniably, the entire Ancient Immortal World was vast—larger than a single Dao Province.

For ordinary prodigies, exploring the entirety of the Ancient Immortal World was nearly impossible.

At a set time, the Ancient Immortal World would close, leaving no spare time to waste.

Along the way, Jun Xiaoyao encountered several ferocious beasts native to the Ancient Immortal World, generally stronger than those outside, with more ancient bloodlines.

Yet before Jun Xiaoyao's now greatly amplified power, they were merely targets to be crushed with a flick of his fingers.

Yet Jun Xiaoyao noticed that due to the Ancient Immortal World's unique rules,

some of his hidden techniques stored within his spatial artifact could no longer be used.

For instance, the God-Slaying Doll and others were restricted by the world's celestial laws.

Conversely, other prodigies were likewise barred from using their hidden tricks to cheat.

"There's magical energy fluctuation ahead—and… also a familiar force…"

Jun Xiaoyao suddenly halted his steps.

His spiritual sense was exceptionally keen, detecting battle ripples from a thousand li ahead.

And there was a force he knew all too well.

At that moment, beyond a thousand li, a valley lay.

Within the valley, spiritual energy was abundant, and at its center floated a pool.

Above the pool hovered five orbs radiating Dao resonance.

Each orb was fist-sized, shrouded in hazy Dao essence, stirring profound insight.

Within the valley, a fierce battle had already raged for some time.

A young man clad in silver armor, his hands sheathed in thunderous gauntlets, was battling several other prodigies.

Lightning energy coiled around him; his eyes resembled twin thunder pools, spewing three-foot bolts of lightning.

With every punch, rolling thunder surged forth, radiating overwhelming force.

The young man's cultivation had reached the late Void Spirit Realm.

Among all prodigies entering the Ancient Immortal World, he stood among the top tier.

Only the most elite heirs of immortal sects could reach the True Spirit Realm.

"Lei Mingyuan, you can't possibly hoard all five Dao Sources—let go willingly, and perhaps we'll spare you one."

A young imperial prince, wreathed in imperial dragon qi, sneered.

He was a prince of the Tianlan Ancient Kingdom.

Though Tianlan Ancient Kingdom was not an immortal sect, it was still a top-tier power.

"Prince Tianlan, do you truly dare provoke Lei Di Mountain?" Lei Mingyuan replied coldly.

"Hah! Laughable. After Lei Di vanished, your Lei Di Mountain is no longer the lofty immortal sect it once was—even your ancestral Lei Di Great Divine Art has been lost." The Tianlan Prince laughed, his tone dripping with contempt.

The supreme expert who created the Lei Di Great Divine Art, Lei Di himself, had once founded a sect in the Huang Tian Immortal Realm called Lei Di Mountain.

Once, Lei Di Mountain had been an immortal sect.

But after Lei Di's disappearance, the sect gradually declined.

Eventually, even parts of the Lei Di Great Divine Art were lost, making full transmission impossible.

This lineage had sunk further into obscurity.

Only recently, with Lei Mingyuan's emergence—bearing the Heavenly Thunder Body and mastering an incomplete version of the Lei Di Great Divine Art—did Lei Di Mountain show a faint revival.

Seeing the disdain in the Tianlan Prince's eyes, Lei Mingyuan clenched his teeth, his face icy.

"Dare to insult Lei Di Mountain? You seek death!" Lei Mingyuan struck.

Around him, lightning coalesced into countless stars, crushing forward.

The Tianlan Prince and the other prodigies also attacked; their realms were all mid- to late Void Spirit, with little difference.

This battle held little suspense.

Without a vast realm gap, Lei Mingyuan could only be driven back.

"Since you insist on dying, we'll oblige!" The Tianlan Prince's eyes flashed with cold light.

They began to kill.

At the same moment, outside the Ancient Immortal World, beside the Ancient Immortal Mirror,

several elders of Lei Di Mountain wore grim expressions.

On the other side, the sovereign of Tianlan Ancient Kingdom was also present. Seeing this, he shook his head with a faint smile and said to the Lei Di Mountain elders: "Your Lei Di Mountain prodigy is stubborn indeed—too bad, he's about to lose his life."

Hearing the Tianlan Sovereign's words, the Lei Di Mountain elders turned ashen-faced.

"That Lei Di Mountain prodigy should be dead by now."

"Isn't it normal to perish? Many immortal sect prodigies have died in the Ancient Immortal World recently."

Nearby elders from other sects murmured among themselves.

Meanwhile, hundreds of li away from the valley where Lei Mingyuan and the others battled,

Jun Xiaoyao's hazy figure materialized from the void.

Seeing the fluctuations ahead, Jun Xiaoyao's expression remained calm.

Lei Mingyuan, however, drew his slight attention.

"So it is the Lei Di Great Divine Art," Jun Xiaoyao said.

He had sensed that familiar force earlier—sure enough, it was the power of the Lei Di Great Divine Art.

But Jun Xiaoyao was no do-gooder.

Though the young man wielded an incomplete Lei Di Great Divine Art, it had nothing to do with Jun Xiaoyao—he had no intention of intervening.

Just as Jun Xiaoyao was about to leave, his gaze caught the five orbs floating above the pool behind Lei Mingyuan.

"Huh… could those be…?" Jun Xiaoyao's eyes flashed.

If he wasn't mistaken, they were the rare Dao Sources.

Dao Sources were energy comparable to supreme-grade immortal sources.

Moreover, the Dao resonance within them aided breakthroughs in cultivation.

The more Dao Sources Jun Xiaoyao acquired, the better his chances of reaching the Heavenly Spirit and Dao Spirit Realms.

Thinking this, Jun Xiaoyao did not hesitate—he stepped into the air and moved forward.

Inside the valley, the battle had reached its peak.

Undeniably, as Lei Di Mountain's most formidable prodigy, Lei Mingyuan's strength was indeed impressive.

With his Heavenly Thunder Body and incomplete Lei Di Great Divine Art, his combat power was formidable.

Yet the Tianlan Prince and the others were nearly his equal in strength, and with their numerical advantage, they held absolute dominance.

"Lei Mingyuan, die!"

The Tianlan Prince and the others struck in unison; terrifying magical energy surged outward.

At that moment, a figure shot into the valley at blinding speed.

"Who is that!" The Tianlan Prince and the others' eyes flashed.

But what followed left them utterly stunned.

The terrifying magical energy, upon nearing the figure, vanished as if swallowed by the abyss.

This defied all logic!

After all, they were five Void Spirit prodigies.

Five Void Spirit prodigies striking together could even challenge a Void Spirit peak prodigy.

Yet now, their combined assault hadn't even grazed the figure's sleeve.

This was too bizarre.
