The Lord of Thunder

Chapter 1382 The Great Emperor Wushi Returns, the Lotus Empress Offers Sacrifices

Looking at the sleeping, eerie progenitor and the cheering crowd, the Thunder Emperor felt an indescribable sense of accomplishment.

For the first time, a genuine smile appeared on his face.

The heavens and all the realms in the original text were in such a miserable state, with heavy casualties.

The heroes of Perfect Era and Shrouding the Heavens world have almost all perished.

The Desolate Emperor and Ye Fan spent countless hours barely reviving them, but in the end, they all turned to ashes in the final battle of the Sacred Ruins.

It was incredibly tragic.

The appearance of the Thunder Emperor changed the fate of almost everyone.

Miraculously, most of the people who were supposed to have died at this time in the original text are now alive.

Especially those well-known figures, almost none of them have perished.

All of this changed because of the Thunder Emperor.

Seeing the excited and surprised smiles of his descendants, relatives, and friends, Lei Di felt that all his efforts and sacrifices were worthwhile.

"We won!"

"The Desolate Emperor!"

"Thunder Emperor!"

"Emperor Ye!"

"Dragon Emperor!"

"The Calabash Fairy!"

"Pollen Queen!"

"Ruthless Empress!"

"Willow God!"

"Emperor Bone Bro!"

"The Footprint Emperor!"

The cheers of the crowd resounded throughout the heavens and myriad realms.

The return of the powerful priests soothed the unease and wounds in people's hearts.

"Our ancestor has returned alive!"

"Our holy land's ancestor has returned!"

"Our ancestor, the one who led this path of civilization's evolution, has returned!"

"..."

Those Immortal Emperors and Quasi-Immortal Emperors who returned alive were all incredibly excited by their disciples and grand-disciples.

Many people are eagerly awaiting their triumphant return.

When they finally returned, everyone was ecstatic.

Of course, for every person who is happy, someone else will be sad.

The legacy of those deceased Immortal Emperors and Quasi-Immortal Emperors was a mixture of joy and frustration.

Countless Immortal Emperors and Quasi-Immortal Emperors, for the sake of all living beings in the world, disregarded personal gains and losses and honor, and rushed to the battlefield.

Some perished alongside their enemies, while others were besieged by numerous bizarre creatures.

Upon sensing this emotion, Lei Di and Huang Tian Di immediately expressed their intention to try to revive them and retrieve them from the river of time.

We will do our best to reflect them back.

"We have returned safely, and from now on all the heavens and the myriad realms will be at peace!"

"Our enemies will one day return, but we will not give up our efforts, and we will continue to fight."

"We will not let our fallen comrades sink into despair or perish; we will do our utmost to bring them back."

The Thunder Emperor's voice resounded throughout the myriad realms, causing a tremendous sensation.

Although all living beings in the world had suspected this beforehand, they were all overjoyed after receiving the Thunder Emperor's solemn promise.

With so many powerful figures helping the Ancestor, they believed that the Ancestor would definitely defy the heavens and return.

The war is over, the eerie progenitor has fallen into slumber, and world peace has been restored.

The Dark Ages ended abruptly, with a promising start but a disappointing finish.

It is said that the next era will be the Crimson Era, presided over by that red-haired, eerie progenitor.

But all of that is for the future to worry about; for now, all we need to do is celebrate.

We should fully enjoy this rare moment of peace.

Considering the countless extraordinary geniuses who perished in the past eras, how fortunate are those who live in this age!

Now that news of victory has arrived, everyone can live to enter the next era.

This is an unprecedented victory.

The Thunder Emperor, the Desolate Heaven Emperor, and others created an unprecedented miracle.

The Thunder Emperor and the numerous powerful sacrificial cultivators looked at the cheering crowd and exchanged knowing smiles, their understanding unspoken.

Just like a holiday, many powerful figures returned to their homeland.

They not only brought back good news of victory, but also returned with countless honors.

Furthermore, the countless insights gained during battles will help them cultivate even stronger descendants.

The many powerful figures did not become arrogant because of their victory, because everyone knew that the Occult Ancestor had only fallen into a deep sleep and had not died completely.

When those strange races awaken again, they will be even more powerful.

At the same time, more bizarre progenitors and bizarre immortal emperors will be born on the strange plateau.

They will launch even more terrifying attacks at any time, and once again perform a grand sacrifice to the heavens.

Heaven and all realms must seize this rare period of peace to cultivate more top talents.

These powerful ritual practitioners then arrived together at the Second Strange Plateau.

This second eerie plateau was the result of everyone's discussion; it was a second option to use when there wasn't enough power to fight against the eerie powerhouses.

They sensed the strange aura of this second eerie plateau, and felt the sensation of the nameless sacrificial spirit's corpse after its transformation here.

Soon they saw the Great Dao Tree, the Pollen Tree, and the enormous Lotus of Eternal Reincarnation.

The Eternal Reincarnation Lotus growing here is truly so vast that it blots out the sun; each leaf seems to drag along a starry river.

Each leaf emanates a mysterious and incomparably profound Dao energy, shimmering with the supreme divine charm of the Dao.

Countless showers of light converged from the void, appearing extremely mysterious and powerful.

The reason why everyone's eyes were fixed on the Lotus of Myriad Tribulations was that the Lotus of Myriad Tribulations was currently nurturing the Great Emperor Wushi and the Lotus Empress.

There were two sparkling, radiant flowers, or rather, buds, that had not yet bloomed.

There, endless divine light and brilliance surged forth, and countless supreme Dao runes danced in the air, appearing extremely mystical.

Although they haven't bloomed, you can still feel the fragrance emanating from inside the flowers.

The flower bud enveloping the Great Emperor Wushi contained a ball of divine light, which was the Great Emperor Wushi's true spirit fire, radiating increasingly stronger Dao fluctuations.

Upon sensing this mysterious fluctuation, many people immediately recognized it as the unique fluctuation of the Great Emperor Wushi.

This familiar aura, along with the grandeur of the Dao, is truly astonishing.

The Great Emperor Wushi was exceptionally talented, and like Ye Fan and the Ruthless Empress, he was also corrupted by that terrifying and bizarre primordial substance.

As the Great Emperor Wushi grew stronger, many people were optimistic about him.

They believed that he would surely have the demeanor of a priest in the future.

Unfortunately, when he grew into a Great Tyrannosaurus-level Immortal Emperor, he encountered the most terrifying and bizarre corruption.

He was ambushed.

He successfully entered the realm of sacrificial arts with the help of this strange substance, which many people witnessed.

However, the Great Emperor Wushi ultimately failed to escape the contamination of the strange substance. Even though he had exhausted everything, he still could not suppress the terrifying and bizarre consciousness.

In desperation, he bravely ventured into the eerie plateau, where he perished together with the two eerie progenitors.

From that time on, there was no further news of him.

Later, the strange consciousness of the plateau revived him, but only his physical body was revived, not his soul.

This is really frustrating.

Ye Fan had once thought of rescuing the Great Emperor Wushi, but in the end, his hopes were dashed.

Later, Lei Di sensed something and successfully brought back the corpse of Wushi Dadi.

And a wisp of true spiritual fire was found in his corpse, which then took root in the bud of the Lotus of Eternal Reincarnation.

This lingering spirit, which has not been completely annihilated, is the hope for the resurrection of the Great Emperor Wushi.

buzzing.

Seemingly sensing the auras of the Thunder Emperor, the Desolate Heaven Emperor, and the Ye Heaven Emperor, the wisp of the Primordial Spirit Fire of the Great Emperor Wushi suddenly emitted an extremely mysterious aura, along with a strange divine charm of the Great Dao.

The entire Second Eerie Plateau was shaking, as if it were about to collapse.

With the Thunder Emperor and the Desolate Heaven Emperor suppressing this place, it's impossible for them to allow this terrifying fluctuation to affect other areas.

Countless divine lights and auspicious brilliance burst forth in their eyes as they intently stared at the nascent Emperor Wushi.

They are working together to deduce and find a way to save the Great Emperor Wushi.

As time went by, they actually found a way to bring back the Great Emperor Wushi.

buzzing.

Countless millennia later, accompanied by the immense and unparalleled fluctuations of the Great Dao, countless mysterious fluctuations of the Great Dao permeated the darkness, sweeping across the entire Second Eerie Plateau.

The group unleashed the mysterious power emanating from the bronze coffin, enveloping everything in the area to prevent it from being destroyed by the terrifying ripples of the Great Dao.

Thunder Emperor, Desolate Heaven Emperor, and others used a supreme secret technique to guide the Great Emperor Wushi back. Rumble.

With a deafening roar, as if the heavens and earth were being created, the entire space-time seemed to be torn apart.

The Great Emperor Wushi has actually returned.

He not only freed himself from the entanglement of the dark and eerie substances, but also became a powerful priest.

He finally caught up with the ruthless empress and Emperor Ye.

The return of the Great Emperor Wushi brought the number of sacrificial Dao experts to an unprecedented twelve.

This is an astonishing number.

. . . .

As time passed, a magnificent roar soon echoed from the bud of the Lotus of Eternal Reincarnation.

"Is the Lotus Empress about to successfully transform?"

Now, inside the other flower of the Lotus of Eternal Reincarnation, a crystal-clear, dazzling cocoon, formed from countless laws and orders of the Great Dao of Reincarnation, lies dormant, rising and falling.

Within that Great Dao cocoon, an incomparably vibrant life force was being nurtured, and even the Great Dao fluctuations at the level of a sacrificial Dao began to emanate.

After the Great Emperor Wushi was successfully guided back, everyone observed the Lotus Empress's condition from time to time during their secluded cultivation.

Now, sensing that the Lotus Empress is about to undergo a transformation, numerous powerful cultivators instantly appeared here.

As an existence on par with the Pollen Empress, the Lotus Empress will surely reach the Sacrificial Dao realm in the future.

Her leveling speed has surpassed that of Ye Qingxian and Xiao Tian, ​​which was expected by everyone.

With the help of the Pollen Empress and the plant-based sacrificial expert Willow Goddess, the Lotus Empress, also a plant, was racing down her path of cultivation at an astonishing speed.

This transformation and sublimation within the Lotus of Eternal Reincarnation was especially crucial for her.

If she succeeds, she will immediately be able to enter the realm of sacrificial arts.

If she fails, she will be reincarnated.

As for whether she will still be herself after her rebirth, that's hard to say.

It could also be a new soul born from the Lotus of Eternal Reincarnation.

buzzing.

The Dao fluctuations within the Great Dao cocoon grew increasingly magnificent, and the figure of the Lotus Empress became clearer and clearer, manifesting itself.

The Lotus Empress is now about to undergo her ultimate ascension and become a powerful figure in the Dao of Sacrifice.

Gazing intently at that ethereal figure, everyone looked on with burning anticipation for the Lotus Empress's success.

"The Lotus Empress truly lives up to her reputation as a lotus transformed from the Lotus of Eternal Reincarnation!"

"She is a person with great fortune!"

"It seems that reaching the Sacrifice Dao realm will no longer be a problem!"

Having reached this level of cultivation, the Lotus Empress's cultivation aptitude is indeed astonishing.

It is in no way inferior to others.

Even in terms of cultivation speed alone, he has surpassed the vast majority of people.

If we ignore her countless transformations and rebirths throughout countless eras and only estimate the years after she took human form, her cultivation time is surprisingly short.

Especially during the period when he stepped into the Sacrifice Dao realm, his cultivation speed was indeed astonishing.

The Lotus Empress is about to complete her transformation.

Everyone knew that she was destined for great things.

buzzing.

The Lotus Empress's transformation has entered its final stage.

The aura and divine essence she exuded, along with the countless Dao runes she manifested, became even more sacred and powerful.

Click click click.

In a short while, the great cocoon was covered with dense cracks.

With a deafening roar, the Great Dao cocoon burst open, releasing countless dazzling lotus flowers into the air.

An incomparably vigorous life force burst forth, accompanied by the supreme Dao of Reincarnation, soaring into the sky, causing the heavens and earth to tremble violently.

That supreme Dao fluctuation surged and roared, that blood energy was astonishing as a vast ocean.

Countless rays of light burst forth, transforming the once quiet and desolate Second Eerie Plateau into the most beautiful sacred land.

buzzing.

In the center of the blooming lotus, a woman of unparalleled beauty and captivating charm appeared.

The Lotus Empress exuded endless Dao fluctuations and radiated boundless light, appearing ethereal and otherworldly.

Countless Dao runes flowed within her body, emanating an aura of Dao that was both mysterious and powerful.

Furthermore, the endless laws and order of the Great Dao evolved into lotus flowers, swirling around her body.

Because of his special connection with the Lotus of Myriad Tribulations, the Lotus of Myriad Tribulations seemed to have undergone an amazing transformation and sublimation, and also exuded an extremely mysterious divine charm, resonating with the Lotus Empress.

Sensing the aura and Dao fluctuations emanating from the Lotus Empress, everyone nodded.

Everything is expected.

The Lotus Empress, born from the Lotus of Eternal Reincarnation, possesses an incredibly powerful physique. If she grows up step by step, she will surely become a top expert in the plant category, just like the Pollen Empress and the Willow Goddess.

The Lotus Empress's body and primordial spirit have long been honed to their limits and sublimated to the extreme, and she is about to transform into a powerful sacrificial cultivator.

The Lotus Empress's path is extremely mysterious, and she is bound to achieve extraordinary things.

Everyone who witnessed the lotus woman's transformation was deeply moved.

This is someone with whom one can discuss profound philosophical concepts and principles on the same level.

However, to become a Sacrificial Daoist, it's not enough to simply transform within a lotus; one must sacrifice everything, undergo the most brutal phase, and only then might one truly reach the Sacrificial Daoist realm.

Rumble.

A supreme thunderous roar emanated from the Lotus Empress's body, along with the terrifying laws of the Cycle of Reincarnation.

Under everyone's gaze, the Lotus Empress began to transform into beams of divine light, her flesh and bones seemingly about to vanish at any moment.

Finally, amidst the dazzling light, she sacrificed everything.

Everything about her turned into light and rain, into ashes.

Even memories of her have vanished, as if she had never existed.

Everyone watched this scene with burning eyes. They had all been through this phase and knew that this was the most dangerous and critical moment.

At this moment, everyone was diligently making deductions, and countless Dao runes were flashing, as if they could see through the long river of time, through the eternal space and time, and see through all the secrets.

Sure enough, not long afterward, the strange fluctuations resounded again.

The divine essence of the Great Dao of the powerful is flowing.

From that endless void, a lotus flower emitting a faint light appeared.

The lotus flower was originally swaying in the wind and rain, looking as if it might turn to ashes at any moment.

But just as it appeared, an incredibly rich vitality erupted, and an extremely dazzling light of reincarnation burst forth.

An endless rain of light was falling, nourishing that sacred lotus flower.

A nine-colored lotus flower radiated an incomparably sacred light, upon which appeared an ethereal fairy, none other than the Lotus Empress.

She grew up quickly, from a young age to adulthood, resembling an eighteen-year-old elfin girl.

After undergoing the most arduous trials, she successfully reached the realm of sacrificial arts.

The Lotus Empress, without using primordial matter, relied solely on her own strength to forcefully step into the realm of sacrificial ritual.

Her power is destined to surpass that of the Ominous Progenitor.

How many people can reach the Sacrifice Dao realm through their own abilities? The Lotus Empress has every reason to be proud.

Although she has only just stepped into the realm of sacrificial arts, her strength has already surpassed that of the veteran, mysterious progenitor.

Everyone was quite certain that the Lotus Empress's strength had reached this level.

The Lotus Empress had been meditating with her eyes closed for a long time before opening them.

She looked at the crowd, took a step forward, and walked over.

In fact, while she was sleeping in the lotus, she had already vaguely sensed that everyone had arrived.

However, at that time he was in the deepest state of enlightenment and transformation, and was unable to communicate with others.

Now she has finally become a powerful sacrificial priest, the thirteenth powerful sacrificial priest on the side of Heaven.

"Greetings, fellow Daoists!"

Empress Lotus cupped her hands in greeting to the crowd.

If we consider the Lotus of Eternal Reincarnation, her age surpasses that of almost everyone else.

If we consider the age at which she transformed into a human, she is the youngest of all.

It seems inappropriate for him to address others as either a senior or a junior.

Therefore, she addressed everyone as fellow Daoists.

The people before me are the strongest on the side of Heaven. Over the years, they have played a pivotal role in the battle against the strange progenitor, and each one is a hero worthy of respect.

She even addressed the pollen empress, with whom she had a close relationship, as "elder sister."

Yes, she and the Lotus Empress had been calling each other sisters for a long time.

Because of her special background, even though her strength was low, no one felt that the Lotus Empress was climbing the social ladder; on the contrary, they felt it was only natural.

Now, the Lotus Empress can truly stand on equal footing with the Pollen Empress.

The Pollen Queen looked at her little sister, who had grown up, with a face full of satisfaction.
