The extraordinary journey begins with the Ouroboros Stele.

Chapter 147 Thunder Fiend Guardian Beast - Calamity (jie ji)

Fulanwu muttered to himself.

Her gaze swept around, and no one dared to meet her eyes.

"I intend to gather the Calamity Spirit, but you all must not make a mistake. My fists have no eyes."

After he finished speaking, the remaining martial artists around him lowered their heads, taking it as tacit agreement, and dared not utter a sound.

Seeing this, Fulanwu said nothing more and stepped into the valley.

It passed through the air without any visible flow of energy.

Before long, she reached the center of the valley and stood there.

The blue and white mist at the bottom of the valley seemed to sense something and began to surge uneasily, causing the thin mist above to surge as well.

Fulanwu raised his head, looked up at the sky, and gently tossed a ball of azure lightning into the air.

Lightning shot into the sky, emitting a faint whistling sound.

When it reached nearly a hundred meters into the sky, it suddenly seemed to hit something, making a muffled "thud".

Clusters of lightning appeared out of thin air, forming a dense thundercloud.

At the edge of the valley, the old man in gray clothes looked up at the thundercloud.

"The Magnetic Lightning Domain—she actually awakened it ahead of schedule! Impressive!"

The Magnetic Thunder Domain is a spectacle that only appears when Thunder Valley condenses Thunder Tribulation Liquid.

Thunder Tribulation Liquid is born from the thunder of heaven and earth and has the effect of cleansing the tendons and marrow.

Especially for those with True Qi, it can help them take another step forward on the path of condensing True Qi.

If one is only one step away from the peak of hard qigong, one might be able to achieve success in one fell swoop!

He came here to use this item to cleanse Feng'er's marrow and lay the foundation for her to reach the peak of hard qigong in the future.

Unexpectedly, the blue whale was able to forcibly awaken the magnetic lightning domain here.

The power of heaven and earth in this herb-gathering area is so great that even a sect leader might not be able to withstand it head-on. Yet this woman possesses such abilities, which is truly unbelievable.

"Looks like we'll have to wait until next time. Let's go," he said.

"Grandpa, shall we wait a little longer?"

Liu Feng spoke up, explaining that he had paid a high price to obtain the medicine token from a sect leader.

If we give up, all our previous investments will have been wasted.

The old man in the gray clothes shook his head. "There's no chance anymore."

"You've been cultivating at home for so long that you've never witnessed the Blue Whale's methods back then."

"Now, if any of these people are blinded by greed and dare to act recklessly, there is only one word for them: death."

Liu Feng was taken aback when he heard this. His grandfather was a veteran martial artist at the Divine Strength level, and back then he was only one step away from becoming a Fighter.

Just how powerful is this blue whale that made Grandpa say such a thing?

Suddenly, he remembered a rumor from his family.

Five years ago, my grandfather reached the peak of the Divine Realm, full of vigor and ambition, and was eager to advance to the level of a Fighter.

But later, for reasons unknown, his Dao heart collapsed, and he returned home in despair, never making any further progress.

"Boom—boom—boom"

Thunder rumbled across the valley, and the once clear night sky was instantly filled with dark clouds, with flashes of lightning.

"Walk!"

The old man in the gray clothes grabbed Liu Feng's arm and left without looking back.

Above the valley, thunderclouds gathered, as if something was being gestated within them, with dark blue lightning shining through the depths of the clouds.

Around the valley, many people had greedy looks in their eyes.

The blue-black lightning tribulation liquid is a top-grade product that may only be seen once every few years!

But when their own light fell on the figure under the thunderclouds, they became wary.

The image of the Kago prince's death is still vivid in my mind; his body is even in a pit nearby.

In the corner, a figure hidden in the shadows of the trees trembled when it saw the patch of dark blue light.

Those who remain here now are basically newcomers who don't know how terrifying Blue Whale is.

He had originally planned to use his speed and stealth to steal some lightning tribulation liquid.

But now the quality of these lightning tribulation liquids is actually blue-black, which reminds him of when the white whale came back then.

It was the same scene, the same top-grade Thunder Tribulation Liquid, and that night countless martial artists fought with all their might to escape death.

Because that time, the Blue Whale wasn't actually trying to condense the Thunder Tribulation Liquid.

This is to prepare a thunderous aura for the beluga whale! No one else will be allowed to touch it!

Thinking back to that night, he still feels fear; that figure wreathed in lightning was terrifying.

He sighed, didn't linger, turned and left, disappearing into the night like a shadow.

"hold head high-

'

The thunderclouds howled, emitting a sound similar to a dragon's roar, as if pressing down from the heavens.

Gradually, a faint layer of lightning appeared beneath the thundercloud, condensing in the air and slowly gathering into water droplets.

"Lightning Tribulation Liquid! Attack together!"

A figure emerged from the bushes in the valley; he was burly and wore a blue mandarin jacket.

But clearly, no one was with him and wanted him to be the one to stick his neck out.

"Hmph! A bunch of cowards!"

He cursed angrily, leaped into the air, raised his hand to form a hand seal with his true energy, and was about to envelop a patch of lightning tribulation liquid.

He was overjoyed. With the help of such a high-grade tribulation liquid, he would definitely have a chance to reach the peak of hard qigong in the future!

"boom!"

With a loud bang, Lin Ye's figure shot out horizontally, leaving a white streak as he scraped through the air.

"court death!"

The man in the mandarin jacket shouted angrily, but feeling threatened, he had no choice but to change direction and press his handprint down towards Lin Ye.

"Thump!"

The air made a dull thud as it was compressed, and Lin Ye's body fell, crashing heavily to the ground.

The man in the mandarin jacket also lost his footing and fell to the ground.

Without hesitation, he turned around and continued to grab at the patch of lightning tribulation liquid.

He knew exactly what he needed, and he knew even more that all of this absolutely had to be done before Blue Whale could make a move!

I'll flee to the far south and never come back!

Anyway, he was all alone, and he had repaid all the debts of gratitude and killed all the people he deserved!

"howl-

'

The air seemed to whistle like a crane's cry, and a strong sense of threat came from behind.

He frowned, gathered his true energy, turned around and threw a punch, the thick true energy forming a faint blue fist imprint.

Lin Ye felt a chill run down his spine, as if the fist imprint was a giant rock crushing down on him.

His steps faltered, as if a tree had taken root, and he unleashed a powerful punch to meet the attack head-on.

"boom!"

Smoke and dust billowed, and Lin Ye coughed up blood, but the man in the mandarin jacket showed no joy; instead, he felt a chill run down his spine.

He glanced around, not daring to look at Fulanwu, but only using his peripheral vision to discreetly perceive the situation.

The flesh on his cheek twitched violently, and without the slightest hesitation, he turned and fled.

"call out!"

A drop of lightning tribulation liquid flew out, transforming into a bolt of lightning that instantly pierced through the back of his head, leaving a small, transparent hole.

With a "bang," the man in the mandarin jacket fell backward.

Only then did it become clear that his entire frontal bone had disappeared, and even his brain marrow had been evaporated by the lightning.

"snort!"

With a soft snort, a heavy aura descended from the thunderclouds, intimidating everyone into silence as they departed.

Lin Ye stood up amidst the smoke and dust, gently rubbing his chest to relieve the feeling of tightness and fullness.

Feeling the remaining true qi within his body, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

With his current strength, he can still put up a fight against a Void Realm expert, but he would be no match for a True Realm expert.

He has not yet condensed his inner energy; strictly speaking, he is using "vibrating energy" to counteract "internal energy."

This is like trying to break a rock with tofu. Even if you say it's a piece of frozen tofu, it's still no match for the rock.

He glanced at the corpse of the man in the mandarin jacket, then sat down cross-legged to calm himself.

After this ordeal, no one should dare to act rashly.

About half an hour later, Fulanwu, who had been motionless, suddenly moved.

He spread his arms out, making a gesture as if embracing a sparrow's tail.

Immediately, the lightning tribulation liquid above her head gradually gathered into a vortex, and the blue mist beneath her feet was also drawn into a vortex.

A tentacle extended from the center of both the upper and lower vortices, converging towards the location of Fulanwu.

Fulanwu straightened up, pointing one finger to the sky and the other to the ground, the fingertips of his hands gently touching the tops of the two vortexes.

The next moment, her two fingers pulled the tips of the two vortexes together.

"Boom—!"

A burst of lightning erupted, and at the point where the two intersected, a dazzling black lightning bolt appeared, scattering streaks of black lightning that vanished in the blink of an eye, as if disappearing into nothingness.

Lightning flashed deep within the thunderclouds in the sky, pulsating as if breathing rapidly, squeezing out clusters of blue lightning into the black lightning.

From the depths of the blue mist at the bottom of the valley, specks of shimmering blue light rose and, after being accelerated by the vortex, merged into the black lightning.

"Whoosh!"

Fulanwu appeared beside Lin Ye, his face pale, clearly exhausted.

"Junior brother, how did it feel to fight a True Qi cultivator head-on?"

Lin Ye stood up, looked at the corpse of the man in the mandarin jacket, and his gaze was filled with approval.

"Very strong. At least before the Refining of Evil, I should not be a match for True Qi."

Fulanwu smiled. "If you say that, I wonder how many people will resent you."

"Ordinary martial artists who have mastered the power of internal energy cultivation are considered geniuses if they can contend with a first-level martial artist at the True Qi level."

"If one can win the battle, one can be called a chosen one of heaven."

"If he could fight against a second-level Void Realm martial artist and remain undefeated, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him a proud sage."

"As for someone like you, even calling you the pride of our time would be an understatement."

Lin Ye smiled upon hearing this, "It seems that my aptitude is actually quite good."

Fulanwu was amused by Lin Ye's humor, "Junior Brother is right."

A moment later, Lin Ye suppressed his smile and looked at the ball of black lightning. The surging black lightning made the hairs on his body stand on end.

"Senior sister, is this the Thunder Punishment Calamity?" he asked.

Fulanwu shook his head slightly. "No, there's still one step missing."

After saying that, she walked to the edge of the valley and looked down at the blue mist below.

"Look at that."

Lin Ye followed and looked down. His pupils contracted when he saw what Fu Lanwu was pointing to.

A dark blue-black monster, resembling a tiger and covered in sharp spikes, was climbing out of the mist and was about to pass through the mist layer.

What's most terrifying is that the threat of death he felt from this monster was far greater than that from the blade that day!

"Senior sister, what is this?!"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a roar came from the valley below. With a single sprint, the agile figure burst out of the valley and leaped into the air.

Fulanwu looked at the monster, "Thunder Fiend Guardian Beast, Calamity (jie, ji)."
