Daqin Zhentiansi

Lei Yu's voice was no longer low, but carried a resonant power like a landslide or tsunami.

Zhang Yuan stepped forward, and the lightning beneath his feet automatically parted.

His body was enveloped in a surging chaotic aura, faintly resonating with the power of the Great Qin Heavenly Dao.

This aura vibrated, forming a powerful force that seemed poised to tear apart everything in its path, its voice carrying a determination to shatter chaos and restore order to the world.

"What I wish to do is grand and arduous, but it is imperative."

Zhang Yuan raised his head, his eyes revealing determination: "Draw upon the Heavenly Dao of the Great Qin and merge it into the Primordial World!"

Drawing upon the Heavenly Dao of the Great Qin Dynasty, it merges with the primordial world!

Even though he had already guessed it, Lei Yu was still shaken when he heard Zhang Yuan say it himself.

Zhang Yuan's voice had calmed down, and it rang out again: "I wish to unite all forces in this world, including humans, demons, and divine beasts, to break the shackles of heaven and man, rebuild the primordial order, and contend with the Heavenly Palace!"

To contend with the Heavenly Palace!
"Boom!"

The thunder in the Thunderfall Abyss seemed to be stirred by these earth-shattering words, suddenly becoming violent, with billions of electric snakes dancing wildly.

Lei Yu fell silent.

The enormous single eye stared at Zhang Yuan, its light flashing and crackling as if weighing and deciding something.

A moment later, its deep and resolute thunderous sound rang out.

“Very well! The Celestials are our mortal enemies and a great scourge to this world! Our Kui Niu clan is willing to lend you a hand! However…”

Its enormous head turned toward the little Kui ox beside it, which had transformed into a handsome young man.

"Our clan's bloodline has dwindled, and our strength is far less than before. I wonder... what can I do for you?"

The Heavenly Palace has ruled the primordial world for countless years, and the divine beast race can no longer compete with it.

Among the divine beast race are top-tier powerful beings. The Heavenly Palace is unwilling to fight to the death with these strong individuals, so although the living space of the divine beasts has been constantly compressed, they have not engaged in a life-or-death battle with the Heavenly Palace.

However, without their knowledge, the strength of the divine beast race was greatly weakened.

Zhang Yuan's gaze also fell on the young Kui Niu, filled with scrutiny and insight: "Senior, I have a feeling that the noble family's thunderous inheritance... seems to have lost something? I wonder if it's just my imagination?"

Upon hearing this, Lei Yu's huge single eye flashed with a hint of sadness and anger: "During the Celestial Hunt, the classic texts were scattered, and the bloodline inheritance is indeed incomplete."

The inheritance of mythical beasts is mostly based on bloodlines.

However, there are also many other artifacts, such as stone tablets that record the "Chaotic Demon Ape Scripture," which serve as supplements to the transmission of knowledge.

Today, many of these heirloom treasures are displayed in the square outside the Heavenly Palace.

Zhang Yuan looked at the youth who was the Kui Niu in disguise, his eyes flashing with profound divine light.

"In that case, I am willing to use my own understanding to help you, my lord."

Zhang Yuan cupped his hands in greeting.

He moved swiftly, instantly appearing before the young Kui Niu: "Please enlighten me!"

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Yuan pointed his fingers like a sword, and what swirled around his fingertips was no longer just the Heaven-Burning Divine Fire, but lightning that had merged with the true meaning of chaos and the power of the Great Qin Heavenly Dao!
"boom--"

He didn't use much power, purely relying on lightning magic.

Zhang Yuan stood at the center of the thunderstorm in the Thunderfall Abyss, his eyes gleaming with chaotic golden light. His left hand formed the "Thunder Summoning Technique" in front of his chest, while his right index finger traced a line in the air. He chanted an ancient incantation: "Nine Heavens Respond to the Origin, Thunder God, lend me your power!"

In an instant, the myriad lightning bolts in the Thunderfall Abyss seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, converging, differentiating, and evolving towards his fingertips like rivers flowing into the sea!
Divine Firmament Thunder Technique!

This stems from Zhang Yuan's understanding of the Great Qin Thunder Law and his intention to punish on behalf of Heaven.

With his right hand outstretched and palm facing upward, a golden lightning rune, supremely powerful and yang, materialized out of thin air. The rune, like a divine punishment descending upon the world, released an unparalleled and majestic pressure, causing the surrounding space to crackle.

Before the thunder could strike, Zhang Yuan changed his hand gestures, pointing out with his five fingers in turn, instantly forming five talismans representing the five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

Golden Thunder Talisman!
The energy of Geng metal gathered at his fingertips, transforming into a sharp thunder spear that tore through the air and pierced straight out.

The young Kui Niu roared and resisted, but was knocked back three steps by the thunder spear.

The Azure Thunder Armor cracked with fine lines.

He looked down and exclaimed, "How sharp!"

At this moment, Zhang Yuan had already taken a step forward, with cyan lightning surging in front of him.

Wood Thunder Talisman!
The life force of Yi Wood flows continuously, and the lightning is like vines that entwine and never cease.

The young Kui Niu dodged quickly, and the thunder vine brushed past him. He exclaimed in shock, "This thunder can actually regenerate?"

Zhang Yuan's hands moved swiftly, sending out bolts of lightning talismans.

The Water Thunder Talisman, with its extremely cold Gui water, condenses into a net of ice crystals and thunder.

The young Kui ox tried to devour it but its front hooves were frozen by the cold air, and it let out a muffled groan.

The Fire and Thunder Talisman was extinguished by the flames, and the lightning burst forth like the sun. The young Kui Niu endured it with all his might, his fur charred black, and he gasped, "The pain is like being burned to the bone!"

The Earth Thunder Talisman is heavy with the Earth element, and the Thunder Seal is like a giant mountain pressing down!
Not far away, Lei Yu's single eye flashed with lightning, and he was shocked: "The five elements generate and restrain each other, and can actually be transformed into lightning? This completes the incomplete foundation of my clan's heritage!"

His massive body trembled slightly as he began to deduce the defensive mysteries of the earth mine.

Ahead, the young Kui Niu was forced to retreat repeatedly by the lightning seal.

Zhang Yuan walked forward with leisurely steps, his hands clasped together, chanting the "True Mantra for Breaking Tribulation".

A fragmented purple rune appeared; though incomplete, it contained the tearing force of destruction and rebirth.

This talisman originates from the deduction and completion of the abridged version of the "Purple Cloud Thunder-Drawing Technique" from the Heavenly Palace.

"Om-"

Lightning bolts, like chains, coiled around the young Kui Niu.

The latter dodged in alarm, the purple lightning grazing the tip of his horn and creating a spatial rift. He exclaimed, "This lightning can shatter the void!"

The lightning in Lei Yu's eyes turned deep and profound as he thought to himself, "New life lies hidden within destruction... This is the inspiration for our clan's lost secret of rebirth!"

"Let's see how this lightning strike goes!" Zhang Yuan shouted, his body trembled, and the Chaos God-Demon Body manifested, his skin transforming into lightning pool runes.

"All calamities return to their origin—"

"boom--"

Endless lightning drew upon the tribulation lightning within the abyss to temper the body, expanding the lightning pool and causing all lightning to scatter.

At this moment, Zhang Yuan seemed to transform into the God of Thunder, becoming the lord of this Thunder Abyss!
The young Kui Niu was enveloped in lightning. He tried to withstand it but was blasted away. His scales shattered, and he exclaimed in horror, "A body transformed into a lightning pool? I am no match for that!"

Lei Yu's single eye shone like the blazing sun, and he exclaimed with wild joy, "Body Tempering Thunder Pool! My clan is in dire need of such a body tempering method. Zhang Yuan's Dao can help me break through the bottleneck of the Venerable Realm!"

Within the Thunder Pool, Zhang Yuan opened his mouth and inhaled, the incantation "Swallowing Heaven and Earth" transforming into a pitch-black vortex rune, sweeping across with an domineering intent that devoured all thunder and refined it back to its origin.

Devour the lightning!

The young Kui Niu was startled and retreated, but a wisp of lightning was forcibly sucked into the vortex. He cried out in alarm, "My lightning power... has been swallowed?!"

Thunderous light exploded around Lei Yu, and enlightenment surged like a tide.

“Devouring and refining…this is the key to returning to one’s ancestral origin! Zhang Yuan’s method directly addresses the missing essence of my race.” Right there in the Thunder Abyss, Zhang Yuan moved forward step by step, each step accompanied by a bolt of lightning.

These essences of thunder magic are not techniques, but rather insights into the laws. Zhang Yuan, with his supreme cultivation, combined them with his Chaos God-Demon Body and the Great Qin Heavenly Dao, transforming them into nine Great Dao Thunder Rune Seals.

With a light tap of his fingertip, the talisman flowed like a stream of light into the young Kui Niu's brow!
"Om-!"

The young Kui Niu trembled violently, and uncontrolled azure lightning erupted around him, his aura rising steadily.

The originally immature power of thunder, as if it had been given ancient living water, became pure and powerful, its level rose sharply, and it showed signs of returning to its ancestral source!

Lei Yu witnessed everything clearly, and the shock in his single eye was undeniable.

"The Five Elements' mutual generation and restraint, the Purple Heaven's destruction and establishment, the Thunder Prison's tempering of the body, the Taotie's return to its source... Zhang Yuan's Thunder Technique is the perfect complement to our clan's lost heritage!"

His massive body drew upon the primordial lightning of the Thunderfall Abyss, frantically deducing and fusing it according to the profound meaning of the empowerment.

"Boom--!"

The lightning throughout the entire Thunderfall Abyss became even more violent yet orderly, as if celebrating the completion of an ancient bloodline.

As his understanding deepened, the aura of Thunder Prison became even more profound and vast.

The Venerable One's cultivation at the third realm shows faint signs of reaching an even higher level!
This is not simply an increase in power, but rather the broadening and completion of the fundamental path!
After a long while, Lei Yu slowly withdrew his aura, and his huge body flashed with light, transforming into the image of an old human elder wearing a long robe with azure lightning patterns and an ancient and dignified face.

His gaze toward Zhang Yuan was filled with unprecedented solemnity and gratitude.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang, thank you..."

Zhang Yuan waved his hand and said, "Senior, I have another request. I wish to forge a few divine weapons to rival the Heavenly Palace, and I need to borrow the sinews, bones, and fur of your esteemed ancestors."

The old man who was actually Lei Yu suddenly narrowed his eyes, a hint of pain and determination flashing across them.

He remained silent for a few breaths, his voice low and deep: "The Heavenly Palace hunts down my race, extracting our primordial essence, blood, and divine bones to forge weapons and pills, precisely for this reason..."

"The remains of our ancestors are buried in the very core of Thunder Abyss, nourished by countless thunderbolts and never destroyed. I still possess a few of them... Come with me."

He led Zhang Yuan deep into the core of Thunder Abyss.

Here, the lightning has solidified into liquid lightning paste, and the remains of several enormous Kui Niu, as large as mountains and shimmering with immortal lightning, float within it, exuding an ancient and tragic aura.

Zhang Yuan said no more and turned his gaze to the mountain of remains of the Kui Niu ancestors.

He took a deep breath, and his aura suddenly changed. The Heaven-Burning Divine Fire contained within the Chaos God-Demon Body erupted with a roar!
Zhang Yuan gestured with both hands, and the Heaven-Burning Divine Fire, which was blazing white and flowed with the meaning of chaos, surged out and transformed into three blazing furnaces of different shapes.

His divine sense was like a hammer, precisely controlling the flames to lick and melt the enormous divine bones that contained the essence of primordial thunder.

The flames do not simply burn, but rather utilize the supreme fire control techniques of the "Burning World Fire God's Appearance".

Sometimes it flows fiercely like lava, and sometimes it undergoes an "invisible forging" process, like a master craftsman's hammer.

Amidst the roar, the impurities within the bones were completely burned away, leaving only the purest, most resilient, and most compatible divine bone essence with the origin of thunder.

The thunderous magma of the Thunderfall Abyss was forced away by this domineering flame, forming three huge fire vortexes. Thunder and fire intertwined, emitting a deafening roar.

The lightning in Lei Yu's single eye throbbed violently, filled with shock.

It sensed that the flames were not only melting its divine bones, but also reshaping its fundamental structure, allowing its potential to be infinitely elevated!
The young Kui Niu held his breath, watching as his ancestor's remains shed their old appearance in the divine fire, radiating a more dazzling lightning light than when they were alive.

Zhang Yuan pointed his fingers like knives, with chaotic true essence flowing from his fingertips, along with a golden halo fused with the power of the Great Qin Heavenly Dao, as he carved in mid-air.

One after another, the Great Dao runes containing supreme thunder essences such as Divine Firmament Thunder Technique, Five Elements Divine Thunder Rotation, Purple Firmament Destruction and Rebirth, Heavenly Punishment Thunder Prison Body Defense and Counterattack, and Gluttonous Thunder Devouring and Refining were imprinted into the molten divine bone essence by him with almost tangible will.

"boom--"

With each rune that fell, the bow embryo trembled violently, emitting a clear, thunderous sound like a dragon's roar.

The lightning patterns on the surface of the bow blank evolved and grew on their own, emanating a completely different terrifying aura.

Lei Yu was captivated by the sight of those runes that depicted the five elements rotating and interacting with each other in terms of life and death—the very key to completing its inheritance that it had been dreaming of!
The insights I gain now are clearer than before!
The young Kui Niu felt the essence of thunder magic that had just been instilled in his body resonate faintly with the bow embryo, and his blood was boiling.

"boom--"

The divine fire subsided, and a divine bow, its body entirely dark gold and its bow as rugged and heavy as the spine of a mountain range, emerged.

The lightning patterns coiling around it were not static, but rather like living thunder dragons slowly swimming, exuding supreme majesty that could suppress the eight wastelands and destroy all laws.

Zhang Yuan raised his hand and summoned the longbow.

He reached out and handed it to Lei Yu: "Senior, this bow is named 'Breaking the Sky'. Driven by your own lightning source, a single arrow can kill even a Venerable at the third level!"

Longbow, piercing the sky.

Seeing the longbow that Zhang Yuan handed him, Lei Yu reached out and carefully took "Breaking the Sky".

As I bent over and reached out, a vast and powerful force, seemingly capable of tearing the sky apart, instantly surged into me!

"Om-"

He attempted to draw in a wisp of primordial thunder.

The dragon pattern on the bow suddenly lit up, and the surrounding space made a "crackling" sound as if it could not bear the pressure and would be shattered at any moment by the pressure of the bowstring not yet drawn!
An unprecedented glint of light erupted from Lei Yu's single eye.

Lightning crackled around him as he roared with delight, "Excellent! What a magnificent bow! With this divine bow, what fear is there of the Heavenly Palace's lackeys!"

He felt his long-dormant power surging forth.

The shackles of the Venerable One's third realm seemed to have loosened.

Beside him, the young Kui Niu's eyes shone brightly as he unconsciously looked at the remaining longbow.

Before Zhang Yuan, the flames solidified again, and a longbow with a smooth shape and elegant lines, like a bird spreading its wings, was born.

The bow arm is silvery white, and the lightning patterns are no longer dragon-shaped, but have transformed into fine, feather-like runes, layer upon layer, which are agile and light yet reveal an ultimate penetrating power that is indestructible.

Zhang Yuan handed the bow to the eagerly watching young Kui Niu: "This bow is named 'Rift Abyss,' it will accompany you as you grow, and wherever its sharpness points, demons and monsters will flee!"

Rift Abyss!

The young Kui Niu excitedly accepted "Lie Yuan," bending down to touch its warm, smooth surface, as if connected to his bloodline.

He took a deep breath and tried to gently pull the bowstring without an arrow, and the azure lightning within his body surged in automatically.

"Om-!"

A clear, sharp cry, seemingly capable of piercing the depths of hell, rang out, and a condensed, tangible bolt of lightning-like intent instantly formed between the bowstring.

Wherever the arrow pointed, even the raging lightning of the Thunderfall Abyss was silently sliced ​​apart!

The young Kui Niu was both surprised and delighted. He couldn't help but let out a long roar, and lightning surged around him. His aura actually rose a notch the moment he held the bow!
Zhang Yuan chuckled and looked at the last bow in front of him.

This bow is of moderate size, with a deep dark purple body and restrained, profound thunder patterns that seem to absorb even the light.

But upon closer inspection, the deepest part of the patterns seems to reveal the faint, ethereal image of a taotie's enormous mouth.

It also subtly conveys the cyclical meaning of the five elements (metal, wood, water, fire, and earth) in their generation and destruction.

Zhang Yuan raised his hand and grasped the longbow, saying loudly, "This bow is named 'Godslayer,' and I will use it myself."

The moment this bow appeared, even Lei Yu felt a slight tremor in his heart. The devouring and life-destruction power contained within it made even Lei Yu take notice.

Godslayer. (End of Chapter)
