Chapter 473 - 472: The Might of Thunder Punishment Body, Rejected by Heaven and Earth

~19 min read 3,748 words

Since the integration of forbidden skills, this was the first time Li Jing had used the Body of Thunder Punishment in All Worlds.

The feeling of completing the spellcasting at this moment was very good.

Even just the first stage of the Body of Thunder Punishment had given him a physical enhancement equivalent to using God’s Hidden Truth separately, while his control over the Thunder Punishment rules had risen to an unthinkably high level.

If this was the result of just one stage, what would happen if he activated it at "tenfold" intensity?

To be honest.

Li Jing couldn’t imagine it, nor dared to hastily try it out.

The combination of World Thunder Punishment, Robbery Thunder Nine Break, and God’s Hidden Truth turned out unexpectedly well.

From Li Jing’s feelings.

Between these three utterly different forbidden skills, it felt as if a certain chemical reaction had taken place.

World Thunder Punishment was no longer indiscriminately attacking living beings, instead, the Thunder Punishment that would befall during the execution of the forbidden skill was condensed and infused into his body in one fell swoop. The power of Thunder Punishment infused into his body could be used to attack any target he set his mind to, and added enhancement to the God’s Hidden Truth.

God’s Hidden Truth.

This skill is fundamentally based on invoking the power of the universe and temporarily enhancing the body with one’s full power, forgoing the ability to cast spells in exchange for a significantly increased physical strength.

When the Thunder Punishment that would fall from the World Thunder Punishment was infused into Li Jing’s body for his own use, it became a part of his inner power and naturally had an impact on God’s Hidden Truth.

This kind of enhancement could be described as terrifying.

It should be noted that the power within Li Jing’s body had already transformed into the Power of Thunder Punishment.

But his Power of Thunder Punishment was still influenced by his cultivation level and the amount of power.

The Power of Thunder Punishment brought down by the World Thunder Punishment was the great power of the universe that he had tapped into with his own power.

Regardless of quality or quantity, the two were not on the same level.

At the same time.

Its total quantity was nearly a hundred times that of the total amount of power Li Jing personally possessed.

The quality, quantity, and total amount all had a qualitative leap, it was inevitable for God’s Hidden Truth not to soar with such a boost.

As long as Li Jing did not release the Power of Thunder Punishment gathered in his body due to the World Thunder Punishment, the boost would not disappear or weaken.

If he used a higher stage of Body of Thunder Punishment in All Worlds to attract more Power of Thunder Punishment, it will undoubtedly have a deeper impact on God’s Hidden Truth.

This is equivalent to establishing a virtuous cycle of mutual supplement between World Thunder Punishment and God’s Hidden Truth, with Robbery Thunder Nine Break serving as the foundation and limitations for the synergy of two conflictingly positioned forbidden skills.

Aside from its function as a foundation, the role of Robbery Thunder Nine Break, which is divided into nine stages, seems crucial.

Excessive power often comes with a price.

Li Jing could clearly feel it now.

With his current power and physical strength, he could probably only withstand and manipulate the power enhancement brought about by the "triple" mode of the Body of Thunder Punishment in All Worlds.

Any higher, and he wouldn’t be able to bear it.

Everything else was fine.

The Power of Thunder Punishment that communicates with the universe was just so substantial.

He could manage these Powers of Thunder Punishment under the state of the Body of Thunder Punishment in All Worlds, but he couldn’t make his body accommodate so much Power of Thunder Punishment without being blown apart. Trying to handle it might bring more enhancement, but it might blow himself up before hurting his enemies.

Li Jing did not, nor was he willing to know, what would happen if the boundless Power of Thunder Punishment exploded in his body.

Who in their right mind would play with self-destruction?

Glancing at Ruan Ya trembling over to the side, Li Jing felt a bit apologetic.

This was the first time he had used the Body of Thunder Punishment in All Worlds, and he didn’t know exactly what it was going to be like, he only had a rough idea from his control over forbidden skills.

If it weren’t for this lady’s strong will to survive and fast running speed, he feared he might have accidentally killed her off.

Although Li Jing is dying to get the forty-thousand-plus essence source from Ruan Ya’s head, she’s now in service to Charming Spirit, and killing her by mistake wouldn’t be easy to explain.

Exhaling lightly, Li Jing spoke out loud.

"You should back off a bit."

At this moment, how could Ruan Ya dare to say ’no’ to Li Jing?

Without saying a word, she turned and transformed into a dark light shooting out, and she had disappeared over a hundred kilometers away in the blink of an eye.

Seeing how thoroughly this sister retreated, to the point where even his vision, which had become astonishingly sharp and could even be called eagle-eyed due to the enhancement of the Body of Thunder Punishment, could barely make out a small dot where she was, Li Jing smirked.

Such a high-level Sky Demon, couldn’t she be a bit braver?

Shaking his head inwardly, Li Jing withdrew his gaze and looked at the barrier formed by the rule imprint overlaying the Heart Island.

Then, the muscles in the arm holding the Unnamed Taoist Tool suddenly contracted.

A massive amount of the Power of Thunder Punishment surged along his arm, enveloping the Unnamed Taoist Tool and merging with it.

The effect of fully enhancing the physical body with power was very noticeable, but if you don’t unleash the Power of Thunder Punishment, it only brings about brute force.

The stronger the brute force, the more brutal the Unnamed Taoist Tool in his hand will be.

However, he still needed to give some enhancement to the Unnamed Taoist Tool.

Manipulating the tool was about control.

It can’t just rely on the power of the tool itself, smashing it in one’s hand.

Li Jing didn’t learn the Control Objects Skill that matched the Unnamed Taoist Tool, but now he was forcibly enhancing it because his power was too excessive, which was enough.

"Buzz!"

Receiving a massive infusion of the Power of Thunder Punishment, the Unnamed Taoist Tool shivered lightly.

Its inherently fierce appearance was magnified by the fine black lightning on each sharp needle-like edge of the rod, enhancing its destructive force and temporarily giving it the potential to destroy the sky and exterminate the earth with the Power of Thunder Punishment.

Combined with the breaking and destruction rules controlled by the Unnamed Taoist Tool itself, the surroundings of the rod immediately became fragmented and collapsed into an endless void.

Spaces that wouldn’t normally break in a real sense, were now completely shattered under the divine might of the Unnamed Taoist Tool.

Upon seeing the situation, Li Jing furrowed his brows, promptly controlling the rules of space to keep himself stable, lest he be overturned and fall in.

The void, will not be used by anyone.

If one falls into it, it won’t be easy to get out.

Not daring to delay too much, Li Jing raised his hand.

A simple swing of a club triggered an even severe collapse of the surrounding space, and the range of the void was getting larger and larger.

"Whoo!"

With a howl that sounded like a ghost wailing, Li Jing swung his club down.

With a straightforward swing, without any fancy tricks, the whole world was plunged into darkness.

The rule of night, came into effect.

At the same time.

The rules of Thunder Punishment, Destruction, and Annihilation, with the pure power of the rules, combined to form a thick black light that became a little brightness in the world’s darkness, and with a "whoo" sound, it hit the barrier covering the center of the island.

There was no sound or light effect, no terrifying explosion.

The barrier on the island’s center broke silently like a shattered cover.

The rule imprints of water and air silently melted away.

Job done in one hit, Li Jing raised his eyebrows, releasing his enhancement on the Unnamed Taoist Tool in time and withdrawing the power it exerted.

There was no other way.

The power of that blow was much greater than he had imagined.

The rule imprint on the center of the island was gone, but the power exerted by the Unnamed Taoist Tool still had a great lingering force. If not withdrawn in time, it would definitely destroy the entire island.

Casually stuffing the Unnamed Taoist Tool back into the Little Universe, he conveniently disbanded the Body of Thunder Punishment in All Worlds. Li Jing then gracefully landed near the sapling of the Life Tree, looked left and right, and squatted down to touch the ground.

This Life Tree, he planned to take back and plant.

Uprooting it completely, would be too troublesome.

Moreover, as a brute-force type performer, he might hurt the tree’s roots in the process.

He was not sure if this would affect the life that has grown into a sapling. To be on the safe side, along with the entire island’s center, he’ll take the whole thing away.

Once inside the Little Universe, separating the island and the sapling of the Life Tree would be a breeze.

The island had a nice view. After the event, he could throw it into a lake as a landscape.

The Snake Man Clan was, after all, extinct.

Inside the Little Universe, there are only a few Seventh Realm saplings left, and no one would complain.

With a thought.

The entire island’s center disappeared and fell into the Little Universe.

Then Xiao Ai acted.

She separated the sapling of the Life Tree from the island, planted the former near Li Jing’s Life Tree - which had grown into a towering tree - and then took the island to find a suitable location.

There’s no doubt about it.

With Xiao Ai as the assistant managing the Little Universe, he was quite relieved in various aspects.

After observing Xiao Ai’s actions in the Little Universe, Li Jing turned his head.

Just in time at this moment.

Ruan Ya, seeing that everything had been settled smoothly, came close to him, controlling the sky.

Seeing her approach, Li Jing blinked and flashed a toothy smile.

"It’s done. Are you going to come back inside me?"

"No, no."

Ruan Ya waved her hands hastily and laughed awkwardly.

"From now on, I will directly assist you at your side. If I sense the presence of a demon, I will certainly notify you first."

"Okay."

Li Jing nodded.

If possible, he certainly hopes to use Ruan Ya’s ability to sense and discover demons.

But once someone is frightened, he can’t force her, can he?

Not to mention that he had indeed almost accidentally killed Ruan Ya earlier.

Even if someone can entrust their life to him with peace of mind, he doesn’t want to have any concerns when he has to use the Body of Thunder Punishment in All Worlds at critical moments, and can’t necessarily ensure Ruan Ya has enough time to exit and distance herself when other things happen.

Looking around, Li Jing turned to Ruan Ya and asked.

"The snake people were slaughtered by the demon, and no other creatures survived. The demon that caused all this must have used some indiscriminate killing method. Usually, such methods leave very prominent traces. Do you have the ability to detect these?"

"I’m afraid that’s unrealistic."

Ruan Ya shook her head and said.

"The tragedy must have happened a while ago, otherwise, I would have been able to sense the residual power of the demon when I came in and remember its power aura to ensure that I could identify it the next time I encounter it. At this stage, I am powerless, after all, I am not a demon adept at sensing."

Upon hearing this, Li Jing nodded.

He was just asking with a glimmer of hope, without expecting Ruan Ya to have such abilities.

"Let’s go, let’s get out of here."

With a casual remark, Li Jing rose into the sky, straight up like a beam of light.

Seeing this, Ruan Ya followed.

In terms of actual realm, she was two minor realms higher than Li Jing.

Pure Sky Control speed.

Ruan Ya was not any slower than Li Jing and could easily follow.

...

In a short time, they both returned to the Chongyuan Holy Realm through the entrance of the living space.

Hovering above the lake where the entrance of the space was, Li Jing communicated with the Flying Sword Blue Edge, which was in the Ghost Clan Territory, through his Lifebound Magic Instrument, asking him to inform Quan Chang about the state of the Snake Man Clan.

A response came from Quan Chang in no time.

She said that she had reported to the Ancestor Lao of the Ghost Clan, arranged for relevant personnel to rush over to confirm the situation, and to arrange the aftermath for the dead of the Snake Man Clan.

Just as Li Jing wanted to ask if he needed to stay where he was and wait to greet the people who would come, Ruan Ya, who was beside him, suddenly looked up at the sky and said.

"Master, the demons have withdrawn."

?

Li Jing turned his head.

"Your feat of killing Jing Yanbao should have spread."

Ruan Ya looked back and said.

"A very domineering high-level demon has sent me a withdrawal order through his supreme demon soul. When I got it, it meant all the demons got it. Although the reason was not explained, it is clear that the person who issued the order decided to give up the Chongyuan Holy Realm urgently. He did not even intend to harm the Ancient God’s Descendants before he left and ordered all demons to leave immediately."

Hearing Ruan Ya say this, Li Jing frowned slightly.

The other points could be set aside.

The problem was that he did not think he had so much "charm."

In his view.

Even if the news of him killing Jing Yanbao was spread, it would not deter the demons that much.

The demons suddenly decided to withdraw. Compared with his reasons, he felt there might be other reasons.

Just as he was guessing.

Li Jing shook all over, feeling a vague force in this world was repelling him, and this force was gradually strengthening.

At the same time.

Ruan Ya also had a similar feeling, and then her face changed.

"Master, we need to leave quickly. This world is beginning to repel us. It should be the Will of Heaven that has lowered the limit that this world can accommodate and has established corresponding rules. If we continue to stay, once the rules are perfected, we will face Heavenly Punishment."

"..."

Li Jing.

Alright!

He was just wondering what situation had caused the collective withdrawal of the demons, it turned out to be the Will of Heaven in the Chongyuan Holy Realm taking action.

This turn.

It somewhat surprised Li Jing, but it wasn’t too unexpected.

Under normal circumstances.

The Will of Heaven would not intervene in the operation of the world.

But the demon invasion was caused by a problem with the Will of Heaven, so it had a solid reason to "set things straight."

Looking at the current situation.

After the Will of Heaven in the Chongyuan Holy Realm solved the stealer of the heavens and rectified the confusion of the spatial passage and other major problems, it gradually started to deal with the "minor problems" caused by its own abnormalities.

What made Li Jing surprised was.

This operator was really categorical.

Directly set rules, reducing the extent to which the world can accommodate.

Damn...

He was going to kill a few more demons, and he had not found the demon who might understand the connection between Ling Ling and the Life Tree yet.

After venting heavily, Li Jing grabbed Ruan Ya’s wrist.

"You can’t return to the Outer Realm Sky. Since you have to go with the Charming Spirits, you can stay in my Little Universe for now."

Having said that, he sent Ruan Ya into the Little Universe with a thought and then stepped into the Void space.

The next moment.

Li Jing appeared in the Ghost Clan Territory, directly appearing next to Quan Chang in the temporary administrative center office.

???

Seeing someone suddenly appear, Quan Chang had three question marks in her mind.

Just a moment ago, they were still communicating through the Flying Sword Blue Edge, and suddenly Li Jing came back, naturally she was a little stunned.

Seeing that he looked unwilling when he appeared, Quan Chang sensitively captured a trace of abnormality and asked in confusion.

"What happened? Is there something wrong?"

"The Will of Heaven in the Chongyuan Holy Realm has lowered the limit that this world can accommodate. I have to leave."

Li Jing replied.

"Huh?"

Quan Chang looked dazed.

Before she could react, Li Jing reached out, took the Blue Edge, which was not in the Weapon Spirit form but in the sword form, and put it away, and said.

"You and the other high priests and successors of various tribes do not need to rush. Wait for the passage to the Secret Realm to close and come out with the exploration teams from various parties. Have the Heavenly King Group notify me in advance, and I’ll meet you on the open sea to ensure that you will not be subjected to Heavenly Punishment."

Having said that, Li Jing again stepped into the Void space and left directly.

He feared not the Heavenly Punishment.

But he had a faint feeling.

The Heavenly Path of Chongyuan Holy Realm wasn’t so easy to deal with.

Being the will that keeps the world’s normal rotation, if it’s conscious, it could certainly find a "fellow traveler" like him.

If it’s truly friendly, it should come to see him.

But that’s not the point.

The point is.

When Li Jing felt the Chongyuan Holy Realm began to reject him, the Immortal King Command he kept close to his body started to heat up.

If the Immortal King Command was reacting, something was definitely not right.

He felt if he stayed in the Chongyuan Holy Realm, he would face not Heavenly Punishment, but being forced to "ascend" to the Immortal Realm.

This joke was getting a little too big.

So far, he didn’t want to go to the Immortal Realm. Many people from Longyu were either practicing or studying the Heritage Stele in the Little Universe; he can’t take them all to the Immortal Realm.

With a glance, Quan Chang was dumbfounded as Li Jing quickly left after giving one order.

This situation came too suddenly.

After all, Li Jing planned to wait for her and the other high priests and successors outside, which was indeed a bit stimulating.

Including those who have already entered the Little Universe, these descendants of the Ancient Gods who wanted to follow Li Jing were all at the Seventh Realm cultivation level, and they would surely face Heavenly Punishments when they reached the Big World.

Quan Chang can suppress her cultivation level.

But not everyone can do this.

Although Li Jing promised that he would ensure they wouldn’t suffer from Heavenly Punishments, if something unexpected happens, most people would likely lose their lives on Blue Star.

Of course.

Li Jing’s assurance was quite convincing.

At least, Quan Chang chose to believe him personally.

Rubbing her brows with her hand, she got up and went to find Ping Rui.

This thing needed to be communicated with everyone.

If necessary, first prevention shots should be done in advanced, to prevent others from getting scared and wanting to back out.

...

Meanwhile.

At the entrance of the Chongyuan Holy Realm, Li Jing revealed himself standing and looking up with a frown.

The rejection of the Chongyuan Holy Realm towards him was getting stronger.

The Immortal King Command in his pocket was getting hotter.

It seemed that.

The rules of the Chongyuan Holy Realm’s Heavenly Path would be completed in no time.

She, didn’t say much but was very determined.

The price she paid for this was perhaps not small.

The will of the Heavenly Path could actively deduce the rules, but setting the rules was not easy.

With a silent sigh, Li Jing moved through the Secret Realm Passage, leaving the Chongyuan Holy Realm.

...

Back to the mortal world.

The feeling of rejection surrounding Li Jing has disappeared.

Just as he breathed a sigh of relief, the wind and cloud in the sky gathered, and the looming divine might quickly coalesced.

?

Li Jing.

???

The forces on the outside of the Secret Realm Passage entrance.

While everyone was looking up at the sky, in the blink of an eye, the terrifying divine might and storm clouds that formed instantly appeared to have a problem, pausing briefly, before quickly dispersing at a pace faster than they formed.

In a blink of an eye.

Everything returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.

"..."

Li Jing.

Just now, it was indeed the rules of Blue Star that were triggered due to his return, and the Heavenly Punishment was about to strike him.

Then this person seems to have discovered the problem, promptly intervened, and corrected the "error".

So it is.

Li Jing was just guessing when a woman’s voice rang softly in his ear.

"You, a person waiting for ascension, could you stop wandering and upgrading your realm at will? I have left some leeway for you, but you’re making it difficult for me this way."

"..."

Li Jing.

He wanted to say that he didn’t want to make it difficult for his "sister" either, but he didn’t know how to respond to the "sister" who hadn’t shown up yet. He could only smile wryly and choose to leave with a step across.

...
