Primordial Era: I, Hongyun, take charge of the literary path

Boom, rumble—

Golden lightning bolts swirled around Ancestor Lei Jin, with golden sparks bursting forth like fireworks.

Hongyun's attack finally landed, and that enormous, sky-covering hand pressed down on Lei Jin Ancestor.

At this moment, instead of being afraid, Ancestor Lei Jin charged directly at the sky-covering giant hand.

Golden lightning shot out from the mouth of the Thunder Ancestor; the beam of light was enormous, stretching for thousands of kilometers.

The laser beam easily tore the four symbols of the red cloud into pieces, as if it were about to pierce through the sky.

Seeing this, Hongyun remained calm, a hint of interest rising in his eyes. The sacrifice of countless Thunder Ember Insects meant that the Thunder Ember Ancestor's strength was no less than that of a late-stage Grand Luo Golden Immortal.

"Interesting, very interesting indeed!"

After blocking the red cloud's attack, the Thunder Ancestor let out an excited hiss, and his attack became even more ferocious.

Then, golden bolts of lightning emerged from the body of the Thunder Ancestor and shot straight toward the red cloud.

The sky was filled with countless tears, as if a celestial dog were devouring the moon and swallowing up all the light.

The burst of energy was like a towering wave.

The red clouds are like small boats in the waves, seemingly on the verge of capsizing under the golden lightning.

"The Illustrated Catalogue of Literary Fortunes is Released!!"

A glint of light flashed in Hongyun's eyes.

The next moment, the Wen Yun Diagram hung overhead, adorned with necklaces and golden flowers, blocking the lightning.

Golden lightning, like a raging storm, shot towards the red clouds, just as a storm crashing against a reef, appearing powerful but in reality all show and no substance.

Seeing that Hongyun had summoned a magical treasure to block his attack, Ancestor Lei Jin no longer held back. "Boy, let me show you how powerful your grandpa is."

Ancestor Lei Jin opened his mouth and spat out a spirit pearl, which was entirely purple and shot out streaks of purple lightning.

"That's... the Thunder Spirit Orb?!"

The moment Hongyun saw the Thunder Spirit Pearl, he silently calculated that it was indeed the Thunder Spirit Pearl among the Five Spirit Pearls.

The Five Spirit Pearls are all top-grade innate spiritual treasures, divided into the Wind Spirit Pearl, Thunder Spirit Pearl, Water Spirit Pearl, Fire Spirit Pearl, and Earth Spirit Pearl. In terms of attack power, the Thunder Spirit Pearl ranks first.

With the blessing of the Thunder Spirit Pearl, Ancestor Lei Jin instantly erupted, and a huge golden bolt of lightning shot straight into the sky, the terrifying aura causing the air to freeze.

With the blessing of the Thunder Spirit Orb, the golden lightning tore the celestial flower formed by the righteous energy around Hongyun into pieces.

The Wen Yun Tu Lu was, after all, only a low-grade merit treasure, and its main ability was not in defense. Therefore, its defense was torn apart by the Lei Ling Zhu, and Hong Yun was no exception.

Just as the lightning struck, a white cloud appeared, and layers of clouds enveloped the red cloud, blocking the deadly attack from the Thunder Ancestor.

"A master of literature, a sharp tongue and eloquent arguments!"

The next moment, every word Hongyun spoke transformed into swords, spears, and halberds.

"Boom! Rumble—!!"

Countless swords, spears, and halberds flew towards Ancestor Lei Jin, and deafening roars echoed in the sky. Even the lightning was torn apart by the rain of swords and spears.

"A volley of thunderbolts!"

Ancestor Lei Jin roared, and thunder roared within the Thunder Abyss, with dark clouds gathering in an instant.

The clouds, covering an area of ​​millions of miles, were pitch black, with blue-white lightning bolts crackling within them.

"Crack! Rumble!!"

A thick bolt of lightning struck down, like a colossal thunderous python devouring the heavens and earth, instantly striking down. Beneath the thunderous python lay Hongyun and his attack.

The entire thundercloud became violent, with countless bolts of lightning falling from the clouds like a rain of stars.

A deafening rumble of thunder echoed across the sky.

Then, countless lightning bolts engulfed the red clouds, like a devastating natural disaster, threatening to destroy everything and reduce all things to chaos and nothingness.

But the next moment, a rain of swords and spears tore the lightning pythons apart one by one, only for them to disintegrate again in the thunderstorm.

"Boom! Rumble!!"

Thunder roared and lightning flashed.

After a quarter of an hour, the thunderclouds finally dissipated slowly.

The sky was clear, the thunderclouds that had covered millions of miles had disappeared, and it was as if the world had come back to life, as if everything had calmed down and the dust had settled.

As far as the Thunder Ancestor could see, everything within a million miles had turned to scorched earth, and the air was filled with the stench of burning.

The ground was melted into lava, and the towering ancient trees that had adapted to the Thunder Abyss environment were reduced to ashes.

"Now he should be dead!"

Ancestor Lei Jin looked towards the center of the thunderstorm. In such a powerful thunderstorm, Hong Yun certainly could not survive.

"Hey, what are you looking for?!"

At this moment, Hongyun's voice quietly appeared. As Lei Jin Ancestor flew away, he looked behind him.

"How could you possibly have dodged a thunderstorm?"

The Thunder Ancestor let out a panicked hiss.

The instinctive fear of the unexpected caused even the Thunder Ancestor's body to tremble slightly.

Hongyun, wielding the Primordial Measuring Ruler, slashed at the fleeing Lei Jin Ancestor, a flash of purple-gold light appearing.

At this moment, Ancestor Lei Jin saw death approaching, and even his future self was about to die.

"No, I'm not reconciled!"

Ancestor Lei Jin controlled the Thunder Spirit Orb to push it up.

With just a touch, the Thunder Spirit Pearl was sent flying by the Primordial Measuring Ruler, which pierced through the Thunder Ancestor with a single stroke.

The Primordial Measuring Ruler is a supreme treasure for attacking and accumulating merit, far superior to the small Thunder Spirit Pearl.

Although Hongyun could not unleash the full power of the Primordial Measuring Ruler, it was still enough to suppress the Thunder Spirit Orb.

The Primordial Measuring Ruler pierced through the forehead of Ancestor Lei Jin, directly shattering his primordial spirit.

Soon, Ancestor Lei Jin fell silent.

Hongyun grabbed at Lei Jin, and pulled out a ball of primordial energy filled with thunderous power.

Hongyun placed a restriction on this mass of Great Luo Origin and stored it away for future use in alchemy and weapon crafting.

Afterwards, Hongyun skillfully dissected the corpse of Lei Jin Ancestor into various biological materials.

The carapace of the Thunder Ancestor can be crafted into armor, and its flesh can be eaten or used to refine pills.

With the death of Ancestor Lei Jin and the dissipation of his Dao, and having lost the restraint of its master, the Lei Ling Zhu is about to escape into the void.

"Hmph, do you think you can get away with this?"

Hongyun made a grabbing motion in the void, sealing off the space around Lei Yuan, and the Lei Lingzhu was captured in his palm.

Next, Hongyun used her magic to erase the primordial spirit mark left by Ancestor Lei Jin, and then began to refine it.

Thunder Spirit Pearl: One of the Five Spirit Pearls, a top-grade innate spiritual treasure with 35 innate restrictions.

Like the Water Spirit Orb, the Thunder Spirit Orb contains only the pure laws of thunder.

Soon, Hongyun refined 12 innate restrictions and also comprehended 24% of the Law of Thunder.

Hongyun absorbed the Thunder Spirit Pearl into his body and refined it. Then he searched Thunder Abyss and seized a large number of unclaimed treasures, most of which were accumulated by the Thunder Ember Insect clan over countless years.

Even the Thunder Ancestor was killed by Red Cloud, and the surviving Thunder Insects didn't dare to breathe loudly.

Faced with Hongyun, their ancestral enemy who killed them and seized their clan's resources, they dared not even show anger, fearing that Hongyun might kill them all if he disliked them.

Hongyun was not that violent. He considered himself a scholar-cultivator who believed in winning people over with virtue.

However, most of the primordial creatures were beyond edification, and often, before Hongyun could even reveal his virtues (merits), they would launch a barrage of attacks.

Hongyun was also helpless, but since they wouldn't listen to reason, she had no choice but to "reform" them all.
