Realm-Hopping Martial Master-Chapter 799 - 441: Pilgrim, Devout and Sincere, Coming from the Other Side of the Sea_2
But...what of it!
"How dare you!"
A furious shout echoed from high above, and in an instant, numerous cultivators within the Thunder Sea turned their gaze towards it.
Even the cultivators in the other three positions opened their eyes and gathered on the western side.
They could sense the intense fluctuations in the atmosphere here.
A fierce, raging fury, accompanied by immense killing intent, coalesced into endless thunder talismans in the surroundings.
A Ninth Rank Cultivator boldly made his move, his palm roaring with thousands of tiny thunders, nurturing the faint Thunder Law within.
This seemingly ordinary hand actually represented his highest understanding of the Thunder Law.
In the Thunder Sea, this hand seemed to control everything, exerting an overwhelming and terrifying power, as if it would suppress and kill Jiang Shu right here.
"Too reckless. This cultivator may be powerful, but his understanding of the Thunder Law is actually just a bit higher than mine. No matter how high his comprehension of other laws, this is the Thunder Sea; he can't be a match for Cang Hong."
A Ninth Rank Cultivator couldn't help but shake his head, his voice full of regret.
He had once wanted to challenge Jiang Shu but stopped after seeing Jiang Shu's progress and continued watching as he advanced.
In his eyes, with Jiang Shu's strength, he could easily defeat anyone among them and seize a decent cultivation field.
The mistake was going directly to the four nearest to the center.
These four had cultivated in the Thunder Sea for hundreds of years and held supreme authority. Countless experts had tried to attack them, only to be suppressed.
"Even among the four, Cang Hong's strength isn't the weakest. This hand seal makes the Thunder Law clearer; in no time, he may fully comprehend it and ascend to the Tenth Rank to form his own Thunder Domain!"
"The Tenth Rank..."
One by one, Ninth Rank Cultivators looked at Jiang Shu with pity.
They all saw how powerful this hand was, knowing all their means were futile under it; they would either perish or be severely wounded. To survive, they must submit.
Even within the Ninth Rank, the disparity in strength was as vast as heaven and earth.
"How dare? Who dares?"
Jiang Shu's voice boomed, his robe fluttering in the wind, making him appear taller as he deliberately stared down at the Ninth Rank Cultivator delivering the hand strike.
Unconcerned, he let out a cold snort, clenching his fist to meet that thunderous palm head-on with a dazzling Fist Light, unleashing the power of the Great Dao!
"Boom!"
The violent collision caused the surrounding Thunder Sea to tremble, endless thunderclouds erupted in the void, and the sea beneath raged with an unstoppable storm.
The dazzling Fist Light obliterated everything.
The seemingly formidable thunder was not a true law!
Jiang Shu remained unwavering, but the originally overwhelming hand above had been penetrated by his Fist Light. The powerful Fist Light pierced the void, smashing directly towards the Ninth Rank Cultivator known as Cang Hong.
Forms of the Great Dao Embryos flickered in the void.
The power of these Great Dao Embryos was something many Ninth Rank Cultivators had never seen before.
The roaring thunder was devoured by the Devouring Dao Embryo, destroyed by the Power Dao Primordial Form, and assimilated by the Five Elements Dao Primordial Form.
Jiang Shu stood there, while Cang Hong, who had been seated high in the sky, was utterly annihilated by this punch.
Body and soul, nothing remained.
Only incomplete Thunder Laws drifted between heaven and earth.
Silence!
Unprecedented silence!
No one had expected the battle to end like this!
Some Ninth Rank Cultivators even began to tremble, knowing how terrifying Cang Hong was.
Yet, such a powerful figure, on the verge of comprehending the Thunder Law and stepping into the Tenth Rank, couldn't withstand a single punch from Jiang Shu!
Pilgrim? Devout and sincere...how laughable! How pathetic!
Some Ninth Rank Cultivators lowered their heads, having tried or wanted to stop Jiang Shu before, now hoping he wouldn't turn his gaze towards them.
Others looked at Jiang Shu with unwavering pilgrim-like admiration. A punch capable of killing a figure like Cang Hong—such strength, is it really still Ninth Rank?
Even the three Ninth Rank Cultivators stationed to the east, south, and north remained silent.
Jiang Shu took a step forward and calmly sat cross-legged in the west, with Primordial Power and spiritual power radiating outward to form his own cultivation field.
His gaze briefly swept over the other three Ninth Rank Cultivators before quickly retracting.
He wasn't bloodthirsty; he'd come to the Thunder Sea not to cause bloodshed, but to quietly cultivate.
As long as the other three Ninth Rank Cultivators left him undisturbed, he would leave when he'd accumulated enough, or maybe head for the central Thunder Vortex!
"My name is... Jiang Shu."
Jiang Shu sat high in the void, announcing his name. This gesture signaled that he now occupied this cultivation field, and anyone approaching would be slain without exception.
He sat cross-legged, above him vast thunderclouds surged, as his Kunpeng Breath summoned bolt after bolt of thunder to strike fiercely.
His entire body bathed in the thunder, every cell undergoing destruction and regeneration.
Every pore's breath seemed to draw in a thunder's power.
On the panel, his Divine Skills concerning thunder rapidly approached perfection, even breaking limits.
His mastery of the Thunder Dao Embryo became clearer and more thorough.
With each passing moment, dense Thunder Origin was absorbed by Jiang Shu.
Day by day, his comprehension of the Thunder Dao Embryo advanced further.
Layer upon layer, the void unfolded; the Kunpeng Demon Wings, refined by Jiang Shu, endured the thunder's strikes.
Deep within, Jiang Shu transformed into a dragon, Dragon Scales covering him, with no place untouched by thunder; the Soul Crystal constantly replenished his thunder-damaged soul.
With his soul tempered to an extreme, a Blood Crystal suddenly appeared in his hand.
"Although the continuous battles before drained much energy in restoring my body, they ultimately left some hidden injuries. This time in the Thunder Sea, the Thunderbolt Energy healed all those hidden injuries and even advanced my physical body."
Thunder controls not only destruction but also vitality.
The rumble of spring thunder signals vitality.
Within Jiang Shu's body, blood, muscles, tendons, bones, vital organs, and acupoints were reborn in vitality amidst thunder's destruction.
With the fusion of the Blood Crystal, his mastery of the Blood Essence Dao Prototype deepened. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
"The very center of this Thunder Sea is the most suitable cultivation place for me. But there, Tenth Rank experts reside, thus it's temporarily inaccessible."
"Currently...I still have some shortcomings."
Even though he had slain Elder Soul Devourer, Jiang Shu did not arrogantly believe he equated to a Tenth Rank expert.
The biggest reason for defeating Elder Soul Devourer was that he'd ascended in the Ancient Demon Sect Relics, comprehending only the most common Great Dao, his realm was unstable.
Moreover, his previous cultivation realm was just Nirvana Realm, mastering only the Divine Skills, without various Quasi-Tao Artifacts' boosts.
In all his carelessness, after the Great Dao collapsed, his Dao Heart naturally disintegrated, letting Jiang Shu seize the advantage and form the killing situation.
But any other Tenth Rank expert who has immersed in cultivation, forming a domain, is not to be underestimated.
No need to clash hard; outside the center, he could equally cultivate, advancing his comprehension of the Thunder Dao Embryo.
To Jiang Shu, the benefits of coming to the Thunder Sea were not substantial.
Importantly, he learned the privileges from clearing the fourth floor of the Eternal Tower, allowing him entry to such secret places.
This means that clearing the fifth floor may offer privileges, potentially granting access to cultivation secret sites even Tenth Rank experts dream of.
