This is one of the blacksmiths' creations, the Thunder Giant.

He is also a newly born Ghost King in the Self-Transformation Realm, capable of completing the foundation. The blacksmiths spent more than twenty days assembling a complete and unconventional powerhouse with a Five Elements Spirit Root.

The Five Elements Spirit Roots gathered, inspired by the mythical Thunder God.

The colossal impact resounded through the entire surrounding ocean.

The ancient statue watching from the Nursery's side looked annoyed, "Who is this? Can anyone tell me how he dared to interfere in the sacred duel between the two sides? Is he courting death?"

But in the next moment, this mysterious thunder being fiercely raised the awl in his hand, and with a sudden explosion, countless golden arcs of electricity rapidly burst, standing between the battling Phoenix and Nursery faction's experts.

The massive shock wave separated the two warring sides.

"Stop it for me!"

He raised his fist again, as if an ordinary street thug swinging his fist to hit someone.

Boom!

The seemingly simple and honest action contained immense and pure power, displaying an effect shocking enough to amaze the entire world.

The shockwave formed an explosion, once again sending the Phoenix and Nursery Saint Child flying, creating a mist-like explosion that blasted them from the seabed to the sea surface, then straight into the sky.

"This guy?" The ancient statue's body had been blackened by the thunderstorm, muttering in a daze, "Where did this freak come from?"

Some cultivators from various races watching from afar were looking at this freak, showing a look of shock.

"How is this possible!"

"Who on earth is this person!"

"This figure is? Thunder God?"

"A bit similar, but only just. After resurrection, did he go from a Single Spirit Root to a complete Five Elements Spirit Root?"

"Yes, if he completed four spirit roots, the change in form makes sense too."

...

Listening to the surrounding discussions, the Cursed Old Man frowned slightly, "How is his power this exaggerated, Five Elements Spirit Root is strong, five times the power of a Celestial Spirit Root, but at this level, saying it's dozens of times would have people believe it."

Phoenix Yi showed a hint of surprise, but just a hint, "Their combat skills are quite ancient and primitive, without any divine techniques, can't even throw a punch, just brute strength... it fits that era, now there's no time for them to study divine techniques and skills, but just brute strength becoming this exaggerated?"

Phoenix Yi, and the Cursed Old Man stood on two pillar platforms watching this scene.

Both of them count as ancient ancestors of a lineage, and are of the same era as this Thunder God ancestor.

But the other, not taking them along for the false death.

They had to use their own unique divine techniques to survive.

"From ancient times, we should have known each other, right?" Phoenix Yi seeing such an arrogant guy stopping the battlefield, was not angry, "Can you tell me, what exactly happened back then? Why didn't you take us along for the false death?"

The Cursed Old Man also nodded, coldly said, "That's what I want to ask too."

Lei Gong, which is the loan-powered role of Daojiu.

Daojiu sensed the power in his body, this was their ultimate creation!

Free Will.

Barely possessing and landing on this body, yet can control it.

At this moment, Daojiu looked at their questions without answering, instead, his tone was profoundly cold, "I know you want to know the truth of antiquity, but you shouldn't know right now."

"What do you mean?" Phoenix Yi and the Cursed Old Man frowned again.

Lei Gong Daojiu couldn't be bothered either.

After all.

The three thousand Demon Gods, most likely have long perished.

Among the ancient race ancestors, only you few remaining survivors have lived to this day.

Phoenix, is reborn from the baptism of fire, divine techniques let her die, awaken, revive, and each reincarnation brought her here. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

And the ability of the Cursed Old Man?

Unknown.

But his divine techniques, certainly related to embers, were the reason embers could survive to this day.

Where's the truth?

Those genuine materials most likely already died in history; how could they take you along for false death?

At this moment, the White Tiger Saint Child in the distance seemed to regain his hot temper and shouted:

"Ancient black hands, you have revived, manipulating all beings as graves, how dare you come? This place gathers heroes from the whole world, aren't you afraid of everyone risen in attack? Shouldn't you be hiding in the dark corners, continuing to scheme against the world?"

Lei Gong looked at the cultivators around, revealing a touch of sarcasm, a touch of contempt, "The weak fear combat, the strong enjoy combat."

"Who dictates that we must hide, others like hiding, but I, prefer being open and honest, false death is false death, has nothing to do with whether I come out to fight or not?"

"I only do what I want, embers, I know who I am, I am merely following my nature."

The crowd was speechless for a moment.

But thinking carefully, it made sense.

The awakening condition of the Ghost King must be the strong will to follow one's essential self.

The brave and fearless invincible heart.

Every Ghost King awakens due to a strong obsession, knowing thoroughly who they are and upholding oneself.

The three thousand Demon Gods, each has their own character.

Why assume they all like to hide?

"You, these Ghost Kings, are quite impressive!"

His voice seemed like thunder reverberating, penetrating everyone's hearts, "To act on a whim, that's the Ghost Path, not those ridiculous Immortal Path."

The distant White Tiger Saint Child boldly, relying on countless heroes present, shouted hotly, "What is the Ghost Path, what is the Immortal Path."

Lei Gong suddenly laughed heartily, and said:

"This represents dual calamities, two types of beings, Immortal Path are those pseudo-humans, Ghost Path are we embers."

"Immortal Path for longevity, Ghost Path for no life."

"Immortal Path longevity, Pseudo-human Calamity, in pursuit of longevity, forbearance and compliance, hide behind the scenes, only seeking the foundation for ten thousand generations, yet they are still overthrown."

"They forgot who they were, longevity yet meek, essence gone, even if they successfully achieved longevity, with the Pseudo-human Dynasty secretly spanning each era, perpetually forbearance."

"They even hid so deeply, played the role too long, now they already believe they are human, forgetting who they truly are, how pathetic? Such fellows alive, are also dead."

Lei Gong's words erupted in the minds of many present, many cultivators felt the fog in their hearts lifted,

"Ghost Path no life, Embers Disaster, though early extinguished, yet spirit reserved, once enlightenment of spirit, knowing I am who I am, no life becomes new longevity."

"Our Embers Path, is the true essence for cultivators, fearless of death, unfearing life annihilation, reborn in annihilation, living a second life in death, is the true King's Way."

His words were filled with disdain for pseudo-humans, utter contempt.

Everyone seemed to have an epiphany.

Immortal Path for longevity, Ghost Path for no life.

Immortal Path is the calamity of the mind, loves possession, concealment, this cowardly longevity is in his view foolish, forgot who I am.

Ghost Path is the calamity of the body, brave and fearless, even if essence, qi, and spirit perish, still maintaining an immortal body standing, essence, qi, and spirit will eventually reignite, live a second life.

The Ghost Path appears no life, yet also longevity.

"Today I stand here, revived from ancient times, conquering this world."

Lei Gong's whole body flickered with dazzling thunder light, his words brimming with the impetus to devour miles, "I'm not afraid of death, at worst die again, also to die standing."

"If you want to fight, fight openly, like women, sending probes, if you want to fight, just fight, I allow you to come at me altogether."

He laughed heartily, his voice reverberating across the ocean, raising boundless thunder and seawater.
