Reversing Falsehood and Preserving Truth: All Gods and Gods Are in My Hands

The serpent king's mournful hiss was swallowed by the thunder, and its massive body writhed wildly in the rain.

"Eight Trigrams Formation - Rest Gate, Secure!"

With a deep shout, Lu Yu instantly unfurled a bluish-green light shield, his aura becoming increasingly steady.

"The Eight Trigrams Formation - Gate of Life, Continued!"

Immediately afterwards, pale green light patterns surged from the ground, transforming into an energy vortex that frantically absorbed the life force of heaven and earth, rapidly replenishing the source of energy he had previously consumed. The three-colored halo flowed more and more harmoniously.

"Eight Trigrams Formation - Injury Gate, Break!"

Finally, crimson array patterns erupted from the ground like raging fire, and countless sharp red lights swirled around Lu Yu, pushing the sharpness and armor-piercing properties of the Void-Piercing Blade to the extreme.

His body was surrounded by a halo of pale gold, cyan, and pale green light that intertwined with the crimson light patterns on his wounded gate, transforming into a composite light blade several feet long. Its edges flowed with a dual sharpness that could tear through illusions and strengthen defenses, and with an indomitable momentum, it slashed straight at the snake king's vital spot!

"Sizzle—!"

The light blade hit its mark precisely, and crimson light patterns erupted instantly, like countless miniature blades piercing into the wound. The dark red patterns on the snake king's body flashed violently, as if the energy circuit had been forcibly severed, emitting a piercing "humming" sound.

It let out a bloodcurdling scream, its massive body crashing to the ground with a deafening roar, sending up a spray of water and rubble. Dark purple blood gushed out, spreading out in large, foul-smelling ripples in the water. The illusory energy mixed within it was burned away by the residual power of the light blade as soon as it dissipated.

Lu Yu gave it no chance to catch its breath, chasing after it with his blue-green array patterns, unleashing a series of Void-Piercing Blades, each strike drawing blood and each move potentially fatal.

The snake king was completely stunned. Severely injured, it lost its previous ferocity and only wanted to escape. Its huge body twisted and crawled towards the high-voltage power line tower at the edge of the freight yard!

It tried to use the high ground to escape its pursuit, but little did it know that this was a path to its own demise.

The snake king's body, as thick as a water bucket, coiled around the tower, its dark purple scales rubbing against the rusted metal, producing a grating "squeak" sound.

The already old high-voltage power line tower suddenly began to shake violently. The steel frame made a creaking sound as it was unable to bear the weight, and the concrete base quickly became covered with fine cracks and began to deform, threatening to collapse at any moment.

Just as Lu Yu was about to chase after it, he saw the Snake King climb to the top of the tower, its scarlet vertical pupils filled with madness and resentment, letting out a low roar at him.

However, its weight far exceeded the tower's load-bearing limit. With a loud "boom," the high-voltage tower tilted violently, and the high-voltage line at the top was torn off, crashing to the ground with blinding sparks!

"Oh no!" Lu Yu's pupils shrank suddenly.

The entire freight yard was flooded up to ankle height, and the murky water reflected the darting electric arcs, which crackled and hissed.

Once the tower collapses completely, the high-voltage electricity will spread instantly through the floodwater, affecting not only distant factory buildings but also directly endangering Su Wan's father and his coworkers who are still asleep in the duty room!

"We must stop it!"

A resolute glint flashed in Lu Yu's eyes, and his hands moved with lightning speed, forming hand seals in front of him. The azure-blue array power surged forth at an unprecedented speed, forcefully lifting the base of the collapsing iron tower in an attempt to prevent it from crashing to the ground.

But that's not enough! Still not enough!

Lu Yu's forehead veins bulged, but the weight of the snake king combined with the inertia of the iron tower was too astonishing. He could only barely slow down the collapse, but could not completely stop it!

The threat of high-voltage electricity is imminent; the electric arc on the water surface is getting closer and closer, and the air is filled with a strong smell of ozone.

At this critical moment—

Perhaps it was the pressure of pushing oneself to the limit, perhaps it was the aura of the thunderous storm, or perhaps it was the wondrous resonance produced by the extreme operation of the three Great Dao powers within the body...

The mark in Lu Yu's palm, which connects the hub of all paths, suddenly erupted with unprecedented heat!

His consciousness seemed to be violently pulled out of his body by an invisible giant hand, and instantly fell into the hub of myriad paths.

Before his eyes stood a colossal portal he had never seen before, its panels covered with mysterious patterns, now appearing in his consciousness with unprecedented clarity.

Through the crack in the door, violent, azure lightning surged and darted like dragons and snakes, while deep thunder seemed to originate from the primordial chaos, causing his consciousness to tremble violently.

A powerful will, filled with the ultimate "order," "destruction," and "creation," swept in from behind that door like a flood bursting its banks!

"boom--!"

In the real world, an unprecedentedly thick bolt of lightning struck another empty iron tower not far away, instantly turning the world white! Thunder rumbled like the sky exploding, shaking the entire freight yard!

Under the resonance of the power of heaven and earth, the never-before-seen portal in the hub of all paths suddenly opened a crack!

It wasn't fully open, just a crack! But it was enough to allow an extremely pure and domineering wisp of lightning primordial power to surge wildly into Lu Yu's body, like a runaway horse, following the connection between Lu Yu's consciousness and his physical body!

His meridians were instantly filled with violent lightning power, but instead of the expected tearing pain, they resonated in a strange way with the three great Dao powers within his body.

The pale golden power of truth stabilized the raging thunder, the blue-green power of the array guided its flow, and the pale green power of herbs nourished the meridians ravaged by the thunder. The three acted as a sturdy container, firmly locking and taming this destructive power.

At this moment, the tower has tilted more than 45 degrees, and the broken high-voltage line, like a dying python, is about to touch the water on the ground with arcs of electricity flying everywhere!

Just as the electric arc was about to kiss the water's surface—

Lu Yu suddenly looked up, his eyes shooting out blinding azure lightning! He subconsciously raised his right hand and made a fist towards the toppled iron tower and the raging arcs of electricity!

In an instant, an invisible field of lightning suddenly spread out from him!

Those wildly leaping blue-white arcs of electricity were suddenly frozen in mid-air, as if they had been frozen in place!

Immediately, as if hearing the king's command, they obediently changed direction, no longer striking the stagnant water, but transforming into countless fine electric snakes, flowing upstream and swarming towards Lu Yu's raised right hand!

Not only the electric arc from the broken power line, but even the free ions in the air generated by the thunderstorm seemed to be mysteriously summoned, turning into specks of light and converging towards his palm!

On his palm, a bright blue sphere the size of an egg, composed entirely of highly concentrated lightning power, rapidly took shape!

Tiny electric sparks crackled on the surface of the sphere, emitting a terrifying wave of destruction, yet also carrying an indescribable sense of "order," as if containing the rhythm of life.

The serpent king, which was coiled at the top of the tower, also felt the thunderous power that made its soul tremble, and fear appeared in its scarlet vertical pupils!

That's an instinctive fear that originates from the level of life itself!

Lu Yu's gaze was icy as he locked onto the Snake King, and slowly pushed out his right hand, which was holding the ball of lightning.

"boom--!"

The azure orb transformed into a roaring thunder dragon, instantly traversing space and striking the Serpent King's massive body with pinpoint accuracy!

The thunder dragon pierced through the serpent king's body. Its dark red scales shattered and charred inch by inch in the lightning. The illusory energy within its body, in the face of the supremely yang and powerful thunder, was like ice and snow meeting the scorching sun, emitting a mournful howl before instantly melting away.

The Serpent King's massive body plummeted from the top of the tower, crashing heavily into the puddles on the ground. It twitched twice before falling silent, turning into charred remains without leaving even a trace of its former self.

At the same time, the remaining electricity in those high-voltage lines was completely absorbed and dissipated by the power of thunder. The toppled iron tower, supported by the power of the array, slowly crashed onto the edge of the deserted freight yard without causing any secondary disasters.

The crisis has been completely resolved.

Lu Yu lowered his arm, and the lightning around him gradually subsided. His eyes regained their clarity, but a faint azure electric light still lingered deep in his pupils.

He looked down at his palm, where a slight tingling sensation still lingered, along with a mysterious connection to the power of thunder in the world, as if raising his hand could summon thunder from the heavens.

"Thunder Avenue - First Awakening Realm"

An ancient and profound consciousness resounded in Lu Yu's mind. It was a feedback from the Ten Thousand Paths Hub, marking the formal awakening of his fourth Great Path.
