Can't Stand This Lousy Jie Sect Anymore

Yu Yuan witnessed the scene and knew that relying solely on the Chaos Bell to defend against the Heavenly Punishment Divine Thunder was no longer feasible.

As the silvery lightning gathered once again, Yu Yuan's expression grew solemn. With determination, he put away the Chaos Bell and stood resolutely on the desert, welcoming the baptism of the divine punishment.

He closed his eyes, his steady breathing seemingly rhythmically interwoven with the hot desert winds.

Around him, a faint golden halo slowly formed—it was the brilliance of his Primordial Spirit, filled with mysterious and immortal strength. His flesh, under the golden divine light, revealed astonishing resilience and perfection, as if transcending mortal flesh and bone, ascending to an Immortal Body as tough as the Chaos Bell.

"Boom rumble!"

Thick columns of lightning struck down, carrying the most intense and violent energy between heaven and earth, striking directly at Yu Yuan.

For a time, the entire desert changed color, rocks shattered, heaven and earth trembled.

Heavenly Punishment Divine Thunder is the Heavenly Dao Power condensed into Divine Thunder, immensely powerful, and even a being such as Yu Yuan, a Quasi-Saint of great ability, was unable to bear it!

Under the Heavenly Punishment Divine Thunder, Yu Yuan's flesh was bombarded by the lightning to the point of being riddled with holes, leaving only dazzling brilliance and traces interwoven with lightning amidst the dust and wind.

However, a shocking scene occurred.

His scattered flesh, no matter how shattered, was driven by a mysterious force to heal again.

His Primordial Spirit was like a beacon, no matter how wildly the lightning ravaged, it always stood firm at the center of the storm.

Once, thrice, seven times, nine times, twelve times...

The Heavenly Punishment Divine Thunder bound between heaven and earth struck countless times, but still could not destroy Yu Yuan's Primordial Spirit or body.

The endless Power of Heavenly Punishment could destroy his flesh and Primordial Spirit, but was unable to completely erase them, allowing for a swift healing and also making his Primordial Spirit and body increasingly tough!

Sometimes, his body would disintegrate into ashes under the pounding of the Heavenly Punishment Divine Thunder.

During severe times, even his Primordial Spirit would be fragmented.

But the more severe the Power of Heavenly Punishment, the greater the growth his body and Primordial Spirit could achieve.

He was like a sapling, and each burst of Heavenly Punishment Divine Thunder was like nourishing dew, promoting his branching and budding, rapidly growing into a towering tree.

It was as if the Heavenly Punishment had a consciousness, beginning to grasp the resilience and uniqueness of this creature before it.

It was no longer a mere strike and destruction. It was probing; it was testing; it seemed to also be waiting for something. The thunder no longer spoke of anger; they circled around Yu Yuan's body, hovering around his Primordial Spirit, forming one lightning totem after another.

These totems contained profound depths; they projected ancient patterns in the sky, seemingly imbued with Laws and Strength from the Ancient Times.

Yu Yuan's body, continuously torn and condensed by the thunder, gradually underwent some peculiar change. His body seemed to be absorbing the essence of lightning, his blood vessels as if thunder coursed through them, providing more Strength and insight.

The desert before his eyes had been torn apart by the Power of Heavenly Punishment, transformed into a vast expanse of Chaos Qi, but Yu Yuan turned a blind eye to it all, focusing entirely within, feeling the baptism of the Thunder Power, his entire body advancing towards a realm hitherto unknown.

Below Yu Yuan's feet, sand and stones rolled; around him, the air crackled with lightning, forming a magnificent panorama of Heavenly Punishment. He stood cool and collected at the center of the desert, like an unshakeable mountain peak.

His thoughts firmly locked onto the Chaos Bell, even though he hadn't taken it out at this moment, he still maintained a profound connection with it.

Suddenly, Yu Yuan felt an unprecedentedly powerful will plummeting from the sky, bringing an ineffable sense of oppression along with the rampaging lightning.

This will was piercingly cold and ancient, as if it had existed in the deepest reaches of the universe since the Ancient Times, already transcending the constraints of time and space.

Under the descent of this terrifying will, the might of the Heavenly Punishment Divine Thunder surged, transforming what was already thunderous Divine Punishment into a series of Heavenly Rivers that split the void, the torrents of lightning almost engulfing Yu Yuan.

Within the lightning, one towering figure after another appeared, seemingly condensed from the lightning itself, with dragon and phoenix silhouettes, each emanating an extreme and terrifying strength.

Even Yu Yuan could feel the sheer terror of the strength carried by these figures.

These towering figures were all warriors from the Ancient Times, their names may have been obliterated in the river of history, but at this moment, with the descent of that dreadful will, they manifested once again within the lightning.

They wielded various ancient Spiritual Weapons, be it long spears, Fangtian Halberds, or Divine Axes that could initiate the Creation of Heaven and Earth, their murderous intent so tangible it caused one's soul to tremble.

Yu Yuan couldn't help but be alarmed internally, but he showed no sign of retreat. Instead, the fierceness in his eyes shined even brighter, and with a cold voice, the golden Divine Light around his body became even more dazzling, like a God descending to the mortal realm, peerlessly majestic.

"Since the Heavens intend to compete with me, then I, Yu Yuan, shall accompany it to the end!"

Yu Yuan's cold laugh carried an indubitable firmness.

This moment was one he had rehearsed countless times in his mind, just not expecting it to unfold in such a manner.

The next instant, it was as if those Ancient warriors heard Yu Yuan's challenge. They all let out earth-shattering roars, crisscrossing and transforming into lightning and light shadows, sweeping towards Yu Yuan all at once, each movement infused with the Law, every attack capable of annihilating mountains and rivers, shattering stars.

At this critical juncture, Yu Yuan suddenly spread his arms wide, as if embracing the entire sky.

His Primordial Spirit emitted an odd fluctuation, tightening its connection with the Chaos Bell; inside his sea of consciousness, a flash of mysterious light passed by.

"Break!" Yu Yuan commanded in a deep voice, and the light that burst forth from the Chaos Bell suddenly expanded, transforming into vastly immense bell waves.

These bell waves were incredibly swift and ferocious!

Within the giant whirlwind of dust stirred up by the desert sands, they surged and rolled, almost completely shattering the attacks of those Ancient warriors.

However, no matter how furiously they were crushed, these lightning-condensed Ancient warriors kept re-forming and surging toward him once again.

The sound of the Chaos Bell echoed over the desert, competing with the relentless thunder, as if performing a symphony that was absurd, desperate, and yet magnificent.

Yu Yuan was the conductor of this symphony; he didn't rush to act but merely maneuvered the power of the Chaos Bell to clash fiercely with these Ancient warriors.

Amidst the radiance of lightning and bell waves, Yu Yuan's expression was as tranquil as water.

He knew that the battle had only just begun.

To achieve victory, he needed the Chaos Bell to return to its full glory!

Yu Yuan had made his decision; amidst the surging Heavenly Punishment Divine Thunder, he would forcefully restore the Chaos Bell to its former splendor. This final fragment seemed like a touchstone given by fate, allowing him to undergo a transformation amidst this desperate situation.
