Chapter 795: Meeting Meng Shenji Again

Deep within the Manghuang, there is a peculiar region named the "Absolute Domain of Wild Thunder."

Within a radius of several thousand miles of the Absolute Domain of Wild Thunder, there are many magnetic, iron, copper, and various metal ore veins; their reserves are immense, which is why it most easily attracts thunder.

In ancient times, many great figures crossed their Thunder Tribulation here.

Emperor Changsheng, Pan Emperor, and the various masters of the Middle Ages—many of them also tempered their souls and devoured the will of heaven and earth here.

Today, the Absolute Domain of Wild Thunder is still filled with rolling black clouds, and the world is swept by raging winds, giving one the feeling that "black clouds weigh upon the city, and the city is about to crumble."

Boom—!

Just at this moment, the thunderclouds in the sky suddenly rolled and dispersed, actually being pushed aside completely; within this Absolute Domain of Wild Thunder, the thunder unexpectedly dissipated quite a bit.

Subsequently, the thunderclouds in the sky formed individual steps, and from the very core of the exploding thunder, a person stepped out, one step at a time.

"The Ninth Thunder Tribulation—so this is its profound mystery. Although I had long guessed what kind of realm the Ninth Thunder Tribulation was, only now, being in the midst of it, do I understand what is meant by Yin-Yang creation and the Nine-Nine Supreme. I also understand what reincarnation is, what the origin is, what is Innate, what is Acquired, and what is birth, aging, sickness, and death..."

Meng Shenji walked down the thundercloud steps and stood upon a high peak, his white robes fluttering like drifting clouds. Those eyes, which seemed to contain love and tenderness for all things, were at this moment as deep as hell, capable of swallowing everything in the world. They also seemed like the high vault of heaven, gazing at the human world with indifference, unmoved even if the world were to be destroyed.

His soul stirred, and all thoughts and reasoning vanished completely.

The power that replaced them was pure power, a pure power without any thought, vast and boundless, like the great sun in the sky, shining eternally upon heaven and earth.

Vaguely, he could feel that within his Primordial Spirit, some flesh-like things were constantly evolving, transforming into a substantial existence.

"Soul, Ninth Thunder Tribulation, perceiving the bitter sea, perceiving the cycle of the origin, cultivated to the realm of Pure Yang—I am only one step away from the perfection of the Yang God. Perhaps next, I must take a trip to the Land of Origin."

Meng Shenji had crossed the eighth and ninth Thunder Tribulations in succession; although he was plunged into unprecedented weakness, his entire being radiated a temperament that transcended the mundane and surpassed everything. Standing there, it was as if the heaven, earth, sun, moon, and the stars of eternity were all revolving around him, all bowing in worship to him.

Meng Shenji's foundation was profound, but the eighth and ninth Thunder Tribulations were no ordinary feats; one careless move could lead to the Annihilation of Body and Soul. And every time one crossed a Thunder Tribulation, one would fall into a period of weakness. According to the original path, he was only crossing the eighth Thunder Tribulation now, and was also plunged into an unprecedented period of weakness, while being hunted by the Kongque King, Tianshe Wang, and others.

But now, Meng Shenji had crossed both the eighth and ninth Thunder Tribulations in succession.

Although his aura was weak, it had not hit rock bottom; he remained transcendent and holy, beyond imagination.

And this was inextricably linked to Yu Liancheng.

For one, Meng Shenji was originally the number one person in the world.

But now, this title of number one in the world had been snatched by Yu Liancheng, causing Meng Shenji to feel intense pressure. Amidst this pressure, his spirit had actually achieved further sublimation.

Secondly, Yu Liancheng had contended with Yang Pan and Meng Shenji; when the snipe and the clam grapple, the fisherman benefits, and Meng Shenji had swept away half of the hull of the Artifact of Creation in one go.

On the Artifact of Creation were many heavenly treasures collected by Yang Pan, which were the accumulation of the Great Qian Dynasty over several decades, plus the rich reserves of the Taishang Dao itself, which allowed Meng Shenji to cross the eighth and ninth Thunder Tribulations in succession.

Of course, one must also mention Meng Shenji's own brilliant talent.

If it were anyone else, they would have long since been reduced to ashes in the Thunder Tribulation.

Just then, the sound of clapping hands rang out, and it was Yu Liancheng stepping out from the void.

He scanned Meng Shenji with his gaze, making no effort to hide the admiration in his eyes: "The power of the eighth and ninth Thunder Tribulations is extremely formidable. From ancient times to the present, I know not how many brilliant experts have perished here. Yet Brother Meng has crossed two tribulations in a row; you are truly worthy of being the number one person in our Great Thousand World."

Seeing Yu Liancheng arrive, Meng Shenji was not even surprised: "Brother Yu has indeed come. I wonder what instruction you have?"

"I dare not offer instruction. Brother Meng once issued a challenge, setting a ten-year term to meet at the South Sea. Today, Brother Meng has crossed two Thunder Tribulations in succession; seeing this, I am moved to compete, so why not discuss the Dao in advance and decide life and death?" Yu Liancheng wore a smile, his tone indifferent.

"Brother Yu certainly knows how to pick his moments." Meng Shenji shook his head: "I have just crossed the Thunder Tribulations and am plunged into an unprecedented period of weakness; is this not taking advantage of someone in their time of peril, Brother Yu?"

"Since Brother Meng is crossing the tribulation here in such an open and above-board manner, you naturally have your preparations. Furthermore, being able to seize the right moment to take advantage of someone—is that not also a kind of skill?" Yu Liancheng smiled: "By the way, Brother Meng is now a peak figure of the Ninth Thunder Tribulation, invincible beneath the Yang God; I assume you would not mind if I had an extra helper."

Within his words, a boundless, surging momentum descended from the sky. The figure of Haotian Jinzhang appeared before Meng Shenji, his head of red hair flying like a mass of red flames. He laughed loudly, his laughter like thunder, stirring up huge waves in the four poles of the universe, causing the copper, iron, and magnetic ores to explode: "Haha, Meng Shenji, today is your death day."

Meng Shenji glanced at Haotian Jinzhang and said indifferently: "If I am not mistaken, this is that innate stone fetus from when you and I first met. Brother Yu is truly remarkable; in just a few short years, you have cultivated this stone fetus to this extent."

Haotian Jinzhang's arrogance and dominance vanished in an instant; he stood with his hands behind his back, his demeanor identical to Yu Liancheng's: "Brother Meng has a good eye. Of course, no matter how good your eye is, a battle between us today is unavoidable."

"A pity." Meng Shenji sighed leisurely: "I must disappoint Brother Yu."

Hum hum hum!

As these words were spoken, the void trembled.

The Eternal Kingdom, one of the only two Artifacts of Creation in the world, appeared. The aura emitted by this Eternal Kingdom was truly indestructible, eternal and unchanging.

Compared to last time, this Eternal Kingdom had become stronger, and it gave one a feeling of perfection.

—The Eternal Kingdom had actually been completely repaired!

One must know that the Eternal Kingdom and the Artifact of Creation had collided, causing severe damage and preventing them from exerting their full power. But now, it seemed to be almost fully repaired.

Meng Shenji entered the Eternal Kingdom and laughed: "The fact that this Eternal Kingdom could be repaired, and that I could cross two Thunder Tribulations in succession, are both related to the half-hull of the Artifact of Creation. And all of this relies on Brother Yu's contribution. Now, I shall repay Brother Yu a little."

Boom!

The next moment, a beam of light, several thousand feet long and an acre in size, flew out and swept across toward the direction where Yu Liancheng was.

—Eternal Radiance!
