Chapter 1494 Just who is this kid?

The crow's wings pierced the dark sky, carrying the unconscious Su Fan as it sped towards the depths of the continuous mountain range.

It circled over the mountains for a long time before finally finding a place to land.

It was a small valley, at the end of which was a cave hidden by a waterfall.

Vines entwine around the cave entrance, and the cascading waterfall forms a natural barrier. The surrounding area is filled with rich spiritual energy, and several spiritual herbs glow faintly in the extremely damp rock crevices nearby.

With a soft "thump," Ghost Crow gently placed Su Fan on a flat rock outside the cave.

It summoned the Yakshas and others from the Gathering Yin Secret Realm with its thoughts, instructing them to carry Su Fan into the cave, and then it flashed into its personal secret realm.

After an unknown amount of time, Su Fan slowly opened his eyes.

Li Chongxiu was seen kneeling and dozing off, while Zhenjie was fast asleep beside her.

Su Fan did not wake them up, but instead used his divine sense to examine their internal condition.

He only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that everything was alright.

Su Fan's current coma was a side effect caused by activating the "Evil-Suppressing Thunder Seal" and forcibly overdrawing his body's functions.

His actions were nothing short of reckless and suicidal.

But there was no other way; in that critical moment, if you didn't fight desperately, you would have died an even more gruesome death.

If it weren't for the life force of the chaotic lightning, he would have already perished.

Even so, it will take Su Fan a long time to fully recover.

Fortunately, the chaotic lightning intervened in time and did not damage his cultivation foundation.

However, he will inevitably be extremely weak in the next few months, since he exerted too much force at the time, and his dantian, meridians and sea of ​​consciousness have been severely damaged.

Su Fan struggled to sit up, barely raising his hand. Chaotic lightning slowly rose from his palm, and a pale gray light enveloped his entire body.

The meridians that were previously torn apart by lightning are now being slowly repaired under the nourishment of chaotic lightning. Those meridians that were once like broken threads are being guided by an invisible force.

The slight stinging pain gradually subsided, replaced by a warm, soothing sensation.

The emptiness within his dantian was slowly being filled, and a faint trace of spiritual energy sprouted out like a tender bud, flowing slowly along his meridians.

During a break from healing, Su Fan's thoughts involuntarily drifted back to the moment he fought against the giant ape demon.

He closed his eyes, and the image of that towering, sun-covering thunderous eye, along with the purple lightning that carried golden lightning, black and white yin-yang energy, and chaotic gray mist, clearly appeared in his mind.

When I released the 'Evil-Suppressing Thunder Seal', I only thought about unleashing all the thunder power, but I neglected the fusion of different powers.

The chaotic lightning at his fingertips flickered slightly as he recalled the scene of the purple lightning falling.

The domineering power of deep purple lightning, the balance of black and white yin and yang energy, and the eeriness of chaotic gray mist are not simply superimposed, but intertwined to form a destructive force far exceeding that of a single lightning force.

Previously, when cultivating the path of thunder, Su Fan was always focused on increasing the intensity of thunder power, but forgot that "fusion" was the key.

His eyes gradually brightened, just like those three defensive barriers. Each one was strong enough on its own, but they were no match for the lightning that combined multiple forces.

Su Fan attempted to mobilize the chaotic lightning in his palm, while simultaneously drawing upon the remaining trace of golden lightning within his body.

At first, the two forces were incompatible, like fire and water. The domineering golden lightning constantly impacted the gentle chaotic lightning, causing his meridians to ache slightly.

But he did not give up, repeatedly replaying the image of the power merging within the purple lightning in his mind, trying to find a way to balance it.

After an unknown amount of time, when he activated his power again, the deep purple lightning slowly merged into the chaotic lightning.

The pale gray chaotic lightning was enveloped in a faint purple halo.

It retains the life force of chaotic lightning, while adding a touch of the domineering power of deep purple lightning.

"So that's how it is..." Su Fan was overjoyed.

He suddenly realized that the path of thunder was not only about destruction.

If different elemental powers can be integrated, it can not only enhance destructive power but also generate other wonderful uses, just like the chaotic lightning that combines destruction and life.

He recalled the scene where the giant ape demon's three defensive barriers were easily shattered, and couldn't help but sigh: that giant ape only knew how to forcibly condense barriers with demonic power, but did not understand the essence of power.

True defense is not simply about piling up strength, but about finding the weak points of that strength and using skill to overcome clumsiness.

Conversely, the same applies to attacks.

If you can accurately find the enemy's weakness, even if you are slightly weaker, you can still deliver a fatal blow.

As his understanding of the Dao of Thunder deepened, the flow of spiritual energy within Su Fan's body became increasingly smooth.

The spiritual energy within the dantian was no longer scattered buds, but rather gathered into a small stream, flowing along the meridians and nourishing the damaged body.

The chaotic lightning in his palm became increasingly condensed, and within the pale gray light, one could faintly see the phantoms of golden lightning and black and white yin-yang energy flowing.

Previously, Su Fan always felt that the "Evil-Suppressing Thunder Seal" was the strongest thunder technique he could control, but now it seems that there is still a lot of room for improvement.

He slowly opened his eyes, his eyes sparkling with excitement.

If you encounter a powerful enemy again, you can try to integrate more elemental powers into the Thunder Seal, which may allow it to unleash even greater power.

Moreover, the life force of the Chaos Lightning can provide sustain during battle, preventing the user from running out of energy after unleashing a single powerful attack, as happened this time.

As dawn broke, the first rays of sunlight shone through the gaps in the waterfall into the thatched hut and fell upon Su Fan.

He slowly finished his practice, and the chaotic lightning in his palm dissipated.

Although the meridians in the body have not been fully repaired and the spiritual power has not returned to its original state, it can now be mobilized normally.

He stood up and moved his limbs, but he could still feel a deep sense of fatigue and weakness.

Su Fan looked up at the rising sun outside the cave, his heart filled with anticipation for the future of Lei Dao.

In any case, this battle with the giant ape demon from the upper realm not only saved his life, but also allowed him to take a crucial step in his cultivation of the Thunder Dao.

"Master...you're awake..."

Li Chongxiu, who had been dozing off nearby, saw that Su Fan was awake and immediately got up from the ground with a look of surprise on her face, calling out to him.

"Sister Zhen... Master has woken up..."

She kicked Zhenjie awake, then rushed to Su Fan's side, buried her head in his arms, and hugged him tightly, as if she wanted to meld herself into his body.

Sister Zhen also woke up and rushed into Su Fan's arms.

"Master, you're finally awake! You scared me to death..."

Su Fan was already weak and exhausted at this moment, so he couldn't withstand such torment.

"Slow down..."

Perhaps sensing his weakness, the two quickly stepped away from his embrace and helped him sit down in the thatched hut.

In the days that followed, Su Fan stayed in his personal secret realm to heal his injuries, which was a long recovery period.

As his health improved, he began to review the entire process of releasing the "Evil-Suppressing Thunder Seal".

Previously, his understanding of the origin of thunder was limited to the destructive power of lightning; but this time, with the help of the power of Yin and Yang and the aura of chaos, he clearly felt that the origin of thunder was not only about destruction.

At the moment the "Evil-Suppressing Thunder Seal" erupted, he touched upon the order and balance contained within the Dao of Thunder.

Thunder and lightning can destroy evil spirits and give birth to new life after destruction, just like a purifier of heaven and earth, cleansing away filth and restoring order.

He also realized that his previous use of the power of thunder was too crude, simply pushing the power to attack without considering its integration with other powers.

This time, by integrating the power of Yin and Yang and the aura of chaos into the lightning, not only did the power of the "Evil-Suppressing Thunder Seal" surge, but it also allowed him to touch upon a higher level of power application. As Su Fan felt the power gradually returning within him, he gained a vague understanding of the origin of the Dao of Thunder.

Although it was only a superficial understanding, it was enough for him to get a basic grasp of the subject.

When Su Fan activated the "Evil-Suppressing Thunder Seal," all the Nascent Soul Realm experts in "New Guangtian" sensed the terrifying, world-destroying fluctuations.

Such power does not belong to this realm. To use such lightning magic in the lower realm is definitely beyond the scope of this realm.

Especially when they saw that the "Evil-Suppressing Thunder Seal" had severely injured a great demon from the upper realm, they all showed expressions of disbelief.

They knew in their hearts that this lightning strike was definitely related to Su Fan, so these old guys from "New Guangtian" all had doubts about Su Fan's identity.

Just who is this kid?

It should be understood that even if the great demons of the upper realm are suppressed by the rules of Heaven and their strength is reduced to less than one-tenth, they are still far superior to the cultivators of the lower realm.

It's like an infant facing an adult man—there's no comparison whatsoever.

Yet Su Fan was able to unleash unimaginable lightning magic, severely injuring that giant ape demon from the upper realm.

At this moment, no one believed that Su Fan was a rogue cultivator. In the eyes of all the Nascent Soul cultivators, this kid must be hiding a shocking secret.

Even if he possessed the demonic seed, he could not have accomplished such a feat.

Throughout the cultivation world, there are quite a few cultivators who possess demonic seeds.

But that was just a casual move by some powerful demonic figure in the upper realm, perhaps something the other party did on a whim, or even something they had long forgotten.

The bigwigs of the demonic sects have always been like this: only those pawns who have fought their way up from the lowest level of the cultivation world to the upper realm have a chance of attracting their attention.

As for the life or death of the chess pieces, it is completely irrelevant.

Of course, these pawns placed in the mortal realm by the powerful figures of the Demonic Sect are destined for a life of ups and downs, never having a peaceful day.

This is why their experiences are often richer and their opportunities far exceed those of other cultivators.

In the following days, all the Nascent Soul cultivators in the entire Lingxuan Realm learned of this matter.

Especially on platforms where cultivators at the Integration Realm exchange information, Su Fan's name once again became a "hot search".

During this period, cultivators from the Jiaochen Realm kept leaving messages on the public screen.

As cultivators from the realm where Su Fan once resided, they were very familiar with this name.

Su Fan was already a "monster" in the Jiaochen Realm, and even though he has disappeared without a trace, legends about him still circulate.

In just a few days, everyone gradually learned about the earth-shattering things Su Fan had done in the Jiaochen Realm.

In the eyes of cultivators in the Jiaochen Realm, Su Fan could do anything, let alone kill more than a thousand ninth-order beast kings.

His past outrageous actions always surprised everyone.

When news spread that Su Fan had unleashed his thunder magic and severely injured the true form of a great demon from the upper realm, those who had ridiculed him were all stunned into silence.

Everyone's first reaction was disbelief, thinking the news was fake.

A cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage from the lower realm severely injured the true form of a great demon from the upper realm.

This is utter nonsense!

This time, however, the comments on the public screen were no longer ridicule and mockery, but rather doubt.

Many monks even discussed the possibility of this matter, attracting a large number of people to participate in the discussion.

Despite differing opinions, most of the experts at the Integration Realm agree that Su Fan may have accidentally obtained an ancient lightning-type Dao technique.

He unleashed a devastating lightning-based magic by exhausting all of his physical abilities, which severely injured the great demon from the upper realm.

Just as everyone was discussing this matter on the public chat, a bombshell announcement was made, causing a huge uproar.

According to the latest news, the high-level beasts of the "Mountain and Sea Realm" have all left "New Guangtian".

This also means that the decades-long war between "New Guangtian" and "Shanhai Boundary" has come to a complete end.

At this moment, in all the areas controlled by the strange beasts of the Mountain and Sea Realm in "New Guangtian", the ground suddenly trembled violently.

Amidst the roar, one after another, majestic star gates rose from the ground.

The altar below was engraved with intricate star patterns and surrounded by a pale blue spatial halo. Its enormous size almost covered half the sky.

The first to react was the ninth-tier beast king.

They emerged from their respective nests, their massive bodies traversing the mountains and forests, shaking the fallen leaves into a flutter.

As they looked up at the Star Gate, the Beast Kings' amber pupils reflected the shimmering starlight, before slowly turning back to the familiar mountains around them.

That place was once their dominant territory, but now only deep resentment remains.

Without the slightest hesitation, several ninth-tier beast kings transformed into streaks of light, rushing into the Star Gate with a whistling sound, their figures instantly disappearing into the pale blue halo.

Immediately afterwards, the eighth- and seventh-tier beasts also became restless.

They gathered in flocks, flying or running, converging towards the Gate of Stars.

The roars of low-level beasts and the howls of high-level beasts intertwined, yet there was no chaos, as if they were guided by prior orders.

One after another, streams of light of various colors surged into the Star Gate, like streams flowing into the ocean, and soon disappeared.

Until the last seventh-tier alien beast stepped into the Star Gate, the star patterns on the gate panel suddenly dimmed.

The next second, the massive star gate collapsed with a roar, the pale blue halo dissipated, leaving only shattered star pattern fragments scattered on the ground, which shimmered a few times in the sunlight before turning to ashes.

The tremors on the ground gradually subsided, leaving only the low-level beasts that remained in place, looking around blankly.

In the eyes of the high-level beasts of the Mountain and Sea Realm, they were nothing more than insignificant cannon fodder, not worthy of consuming the enormous resources required to open the Star Gate.

At this moment, in a valley in a certain plane of the Lingxuan Realm, Phoenix Cry God Venerable was sitting cross-legged in a thatched hut drinking tea with several Nascent Soul Realm experts.

He used to be a Supreme Elder of a certain super immortal sect. Because of his seniority, he was recommended by many super immortal sects to guard the Heavenly Gate Hall.

Just then, one of his disciples rushed in and bowed deeply in worship.

"Reporting to Master, news has just arrived from the Heavenly Gate Palace..."

Upon hearing this, Phoenix Cry God frowned. This brat, he should just say what he wants to say, instead of playing coy with him.

"Say...what is it..."

"The Heavenly Gate Hall has just received a decree from the Upper Realm that the Heavenly Gate will be opened in my Lingxuan Realm in three years!"

"What?" Phoenix Cry God Venerable exclaimed in surprise.

Not only him, but the faces of the other experts at the Integration Realm were also filled with shock.

Isn't it still over a hundred years before the Heavenly Gate opens again?

Why did the Upper Realm open the Heavenly Gate so far ahead of schedule this time?

Phoenix Cry God Venerable could no longer sit still. He quickly got up from the couch and waved to his fellow disciples.

"Don't just sit there, let's hurry to the Heavenly Gate Hall..."

After saying that, he and his fellow disciples hurriedly left the thatched hut and rushed off towards the Heavenly Gate Hall.
