I am Master Maoshan

Chapter 2341 It’s coming

"Rumble--"

The deafening roar seemed to tremble the heavens and earth. The collision between the thunder dragon and the fist unleashed another burst of dazzling light, tearing the surrounding space to shreds.

The power of this God-Lord Realm expert was indeed well-deserved. The power that Thor lent to Liu Jun more than doubled his strength, perhaps even more.

Amidst that dazzling light, the white lightning dragon seemed unable to withstand the terrifying power and was directly smashed away by a punch, leaving only streaks of lightning flashing in the air before gradually fading away.

When the light faded, Liu Jun looked down at his hands in astonishment, his eyes filled with disbelief.

He could clearly feel that this lightning tribulation was much more powerful than the previous one, but after borrowing Thor's power, he easily shattered it with a single punch.

"Holy crap, that's awesome!" Liu Jun couldn't help but exclaim in amazement. He had never imagined that he could possess such power. At this moment, he felt as if he were standing at the pinnacle of the world, looking down upon all living things below.

However, the tribulation did not end there. After the sixth bolt of lightning dissipated, the seventh, the eighth... and many more bolts of lightning followed one after another, each one more terrifying and more violent than the previous one.

But Liu Jun was not afraid at all. He clenched his fists, his eyes flashing with fighting spirit, and dispersed the bolts of lightning.

It wasn't until the eighth purple-gold lightning bolt dissipated that Liu Jun finally managed to regain his footing. His robes had long been torn to shreds by the lightning, and his exposed skin was covered with charred lightning strike marks, but his eyes shone with an astonishing brightness, filled with burning fury.

The continuous, intense clashes had pushed Thor's power to its limit. This once mighty Norse god, who dominated the Western pantheon, now knelt on one knee, his muscular arms trembling uncontrollably, his long hair soaked with sweat and plastered to his forehead.

He had poured all the power he could lend to Liu Jun through the contract rope into himself, leaving his burly body like an empty statue, extremely weak.

"Damn, there's one last lightning tribulation!" Liu Jun suddenly widened his eyes, feeling the power transmitted by the contract rope like a candle flame about to go out.

He turned his head sharply and saw Thor slumped down beside him, the divine runes that once surrounded him now dimmed like a candle flickering in the wind.

Without the slightest hesitation, Liu Jun took out a gilded jade bottle from his bosom, the bottle still warm from his chest.

"Hey bro, hang in there!" Liu Jun flicked the cork off the bottle with his thumb and poured the entire bottle of Nine-Turn Rejuvenating Pills into Thor's mouth.

The pills melted instantly upon entering the mouth, transforming into golden light that seeped into the divine body, but Thor's ashen face only regained a trace of color—these top-tier pills were nothing more than a drop in the ocean for a God Lord realm expert.

"Liu Jun, Liu..." The ancestor of the Formation Sect beside him looked anxious, his lips slightly parted, as if he had something to say.

However, before he could finish speaking, his body suddenly collapsed like a puppet with its strings cut, and he instantly fainted.

In an instant, this previously peaceful space was as if an invisible bomb of chaos had been dropped into it.

The other living people, whether they were disciples of the Array Sect, servants, or elders, all fainted one after another as if they had been under a spell.

Their bodies lay sprawled on the ground, some with their heads tilted to one side, others with their limbs spread out haphazardly, creating a chaotic and eerie scene.

Liu Jun stood there, stunned and bewildered by the unbelievable scene before him, his mind buzzing.

His first thought was that colorless and odorless poisonous gas was spreading from the surrounding area.

Without a second thought, he immediately squatted down and began to carefully examine the condition of the Array Sect Ancestor.

He first gently placed his finger on the tip of the Array Sect Ancestor's nose, feeling the faint yet steady breathing, and a sense of doubt welled up in his heart.

Next, he carefully examined every part of the Array Sect Ancestor's body, from head to toe, leaving no detail unchecked.

The more he examined him, the more alarmed he became. There wasn't a single scratch on the patriarch's body. His breathing was steady and even, and his pulse was beating normally, but he just couldn't wake up, as if he were trapped in an inescapable abyss of a dream.

Liu Jun's brows furrowed tightly, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. His gaze swept over the unconscious people around him, his heart filled with unease.

Suddenly, his eyes narrowed, because he discovered that not only the Array Sect Ancestor, but even Thor, a powerful expert at the God Lord Realm, was lying unconscious on the ground like a dead dog.

"This is outrageous!" Liu Jun couldn't help but exclaim inwardly.

A God-Lord Realm expert is no ordinary person. Who in the entire God Realm doesn't know how powerful a God-Lord Realm expert is? They can unleash world-destroying power with a mere gesture. Even if Thor is currently weakened for some reason, surely no one could knock him unconscious so quietly?
What terrifying power is hidden behind this? And who has such great ability to make so many people fall into a coma at the same time?

Liu Jun's mind raced with a flurry of thoughts, various guesses and questions flooding in like a tide. Just then, he seemed to sense something amiss.

It was an extremely subtle feeling, as if an invisible eye was watching him from the shadows, or as if a mysterious aura was quietly spreading in the air.

Liu Jun turned around abruptly, his movements swift and decisive, like a startled wildcat. His eyes were fixed on a direction not far away, where a small cloud of air was quietly suspended.

This small cloud of air may seem ordinary, but it exudes a powerful aura, as if it contains boundless power.

The small cloud was a deep, dark blue, like the ocean. Its surface shimmered with an eerie light, sometimes bright, sometimes dim. The surrounding air was slightly distorted by its presence, as if drawn by an invisible force.

"An incarnation of the Heavenly Dao?" This was the first thing Liu Jun thought of, but the little ball of energy in front of him was quite different from the incarnations of the Heavenly Dao he had seen before, at least in color and shape.

The small cloud he had seen before only looked like a sphere, but its surface was irregular, like a sea urchin.

This small ball of air looks perfectly round, just like a soccer ball.

Liu Jun unconsciously moved closer to the small cloud of air, his heart pounding faster with each step. His hands clenched into fists, every muscle in his body tensed, ready to face any potential danger.

When he finally reached the small cloud of air, he stopped and stared intently at it, trying to find the answer within it.

However, the small air mass simply floated there quietly, without any reaction.

Liu Jun frowned, his doubts growing. He then reached out a hand and slowly extended it toward the small ball of air, wanting to touch this mysterious thing.

Just as his finger was about to touch the small ball of air, a powerful force suddenly erupted from it, sending him flying backward.

Liu Jun flew through the air in an arc before crashing heavily to the ground. A trickle of blood escaped from the corner of his mouth, and a sharp pain shot through his body.

But he didn't care about that. He immediately got up from the ground and stared at the small cloud of air again with vigilance.

At this moment, he understood that even if this small cloud of air was not an incarnation of the Heavenly Dao, it was definitely not a friendly visitor and was very likely the culprit that caused everyone to faint.

Before Liu Jun could prepare himself, the small ball of air, like a cannonball, slammed into him and sent him flying.

Liu Jun's body traced an arc through the air before crashing heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

The small cloud of air trembled slightly, and in an instant, Liu Jun felt as if the air around him had frozen. The space they were in seemed to be isolated by an invisible transparent barrier, and all the sounds and movements from the outside world were blocked out, leaving only a suffocating silence.

"Creak, creak, creak"

The small cloud of air hovered in mid-air, emitting a cold, eerie light. It slowly rotated, making a strange sound.

The sound was neither sharp nor piercing, but rather like countless tiny needles gently pricking Liu Jun's eardrums, carrying an indescribable sense of strangeness that made him feel uneasy.

"Liu Jun, the future Order Keeper?" The little ball of air's voice echoed in the silent space, as if carrying a sense of scrutiny and provocation.

Liu Jun struggled to get up from the ground, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth. The bright red bloodstains stood out starkly against his pale face.

"You are the embodiment of the Heavenly Dao, right? What do you want?" Liu Jun's eyes showed no fear, and his tone even carried a hint of provocation.

The small cloud of air swayed slightly, as if nodding, and then said, "It's nothing serious, I just wanted to see you."

Liu Jun narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze revealing vigilance and determination, and asked directly, "Hmm, see me, and kill me while you're at it?"

The little ball of gas made no attempt to hide anything and openly admitted, "If you don't die, I will disappear."

Its voice was as calm as stating a simple fact, yet it sent a chill down Liu Jun's spine.

Liu Jun frowned, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes, and said with a sneer, "Aren't you afraid that Heaven will destroy you?"

Although he often challenged the Heavenly Dao when he had nothing to do, it was just for fun and he didn't mean to look down on the Heavenly Dao.

After all, the Heavenly Dao is the supreme being in the entire universe, controlling the balance and order of the universe, but it simply lacks its own consciousness.

The incarnation of the Heavenly Dao and the Heavenly Dao itself are two completely different entities.

The Way of Heaven is a mysterious force that arose at the very beginning of the universe. Like an invisible giant hand, it controls the operation of the entire universe, maintaining the balance and harmony of all things in the world. Therefore, it is also revered as the Law of Heaven. It is formless and without appearance, yet it is omnipresent and is the root of all order in the universe.

The incarnation of the Heavenly Dao is a special existence created by the Heavenly Dao to more efficiently handle loopholes in the operation of the rules.

Their function is the same as that of the Order Keepers: to travel to every corner of the universe on behalf of the Heavenly Dao, repairing those minor flaws that might disrupt the balance of the rules.

However, their power is not unlimited; they must act within the framework of the rules of Heaven.

The small cloud of air emitted a low, sinister laugh that echoed in the silent space: "Within the rules, I can eliminate you first. In this isolated space, I am the temporary controller of the rules, and your life and death are now in my hands."

"Then come on, I want to see if you, this so-called incarnation of the Heavenly Dao, can really destroy me before I die!" Liu Jun clenched his fist, a resolute glint in his eyes.

The small cloud of light suddenly shone brightly, and a powerful aura emanated from it, sweeping towards Liu Jun like a surging tide.

Liu Jun felt an immense pressure bearing down on him, making it almost impossible for him to breathe. But he did not back down in the slightest. He quickly circulated the power of the five elements within his body, and a faint five-colored light emanated from his body, fiercely resisting the aura released by the small ball of energy.
