Supreme of the Heavenly Realm

Within the Thunder Clan. Thunder Domain.

The first day of this month marks the day of the Divine Sacrifice Ceremony. For the Thunder Clan, the Clan Leader, the Great Elder, and other high-ranking figures have already left the Thunder Domain.

Not only the Thunder Clan, but the other four clans—Wind, Fire, Water, and Earth—have also flocked to the Water Domain to begin the Divine Sacrifice Ceremony.

Yet inside the Thunder Clan, the defenses are still stringent. Numerous strong figures clad in black armor patrol back and forth, and even in places without patrols, prohibitions cover the area, creating an impenetrable barrier.

Shua!

In the depths of the Thunder Domain, behind a team of patrol guards, a figure mysteriously appeared—it was Ye Xuan.

"The defenses are really tight. If it weren't for Ao Wuxu having a rough map of the Thunder Clan's interior, it would indeed be difficult to break in."

Ye Xuan shook his head and said.

This map of the Thunder Clan belongs to the Dragon Clan, though it is not a complete map. Even the Dragon Clan couldn't know every place and distribution in the Thunder Domain.

"The Thunder Emperor Token should be hidden within the Thunder Tower. It'll be easy to get spotted during the day; best to wait until night to get closer."

Ye Xuan had a plan. The Divine Sacrifice Ceremony lasts for three days, providing him plenty of time to act during this period.

Having settled on a plan, Ye Xuan vanished once again.

At nightfall.

Ye Xuan arrived near the Thunder Tower.

The Thunder Tower was entirely silver-white, and its surface was filled with lightning runes. Around it were over a dozen compact satellite towers, each topped with a Thunder Eye, which scanned the surroundings, able to penetrate all shadows.

"Thankfully, I came prepared."

Ye Xuan dared not act rashly before these Thunder Eyes, but he had his own methods to deal with them. He pressed his two fingers from the index and middle together at the center of his brow, and suddenly, a distorted light expanded from that point.

"Divine Technique, Spirit Concealment Technique."

As his words fell, Ye Xuan vanished as if he had evaporated on the spot.

Shortly after, a figure appeared in front of the main gate of the Thunder Tower.

"Who?"

Guarding the Thunder Tower were four Extreme Martial Saint strong people, and even a Sealing Emperor strong person, yet they couldn't utter a word before Ye Xuan knocked them out with one move.

This Thunder Tower likely changes shifts every few hours, yet Ye Xuan estimated he wouldn't need that much time.

Pushing open the Thunder Tower's main gate, Ye Xuan entered, his figure completely vanishing.

In the next moment, what appeared before Ye Xuan was a world of lightning. The entire interior of the Thunder Tower was filled with raging lightning, ready to tear anything into pieces if not careful.

Ye Xuan ignored the surrounding lightning, suddenly manifesting a protective shield over his body, enveloping him within.

Chi chi!

The lightning struck the shield, merely scattering brilliant sparks without breaking through.

"The location of the Thunder Emperor Token..."

Ye Xuan opened the Heavenly Eye on his brow, surveying the interior of the Thunder Tower, directly seeing through the lightning to the space on the other side.

"Found it."

Ye Xuan's gaze froze. Amidst the lightning, he found a golden platform with a suspended golden rune on it. This golden rune emitted a highly violent aura, slightly warping the surrounding space.

Continuing to mobilize True Yuan, Ye Xuan used the Heavenly Eye to observe the surrounding lightning and prohibitions to avoid triggering unnecessary trouble.

Chi chi chi!

Ye Xuan advanced using the Spirit Concealment Technique and soon triggered a lightning prohibition. Instantly, lightning exploded, directly forming two Thunder Generals on either side of him.

These two Thunder Generals each wielded Thunder Swords and Thunder Shields. As they appeared, they swung their swords and shields towards Ye Xuan.

"What a nuisance."

Ye Xuan frowned slightly, quickly stepping back. An ancient Light Sword flashing with lightning grazed past him, leaving a burnt mark in the void.

Keng qiang!

Drawing the Void Sword, Ye Xuan swung it with a speed akin to sword light, easily tearing the two Thunder Generals apart.

Papapap!

As Ye Xuan ventured deeper, the surrounding lightning grew increasingly violent, constantly tearing open gaps in the void and impacting Ye Xuan.

Even with his presence concealed, he couldn't escape these lightning strikes.

Boom!

In no time, the momentum around Ye Xuan surged. A Purple Gold Giant Dragon's light shadow rose, coiling above his head. Every drop of lightning that fell on the Purple Gold Giant Dragon collapsed rapidly, leaving trails of blue smoke.

Hualala...

Just after Ye Xuan activated the Ancestor Dragon Bloodline, the Thunder Tower started to tremble intensely. From the ground beneath Ye Xuan's feet, ancient lightning runes lit up one after another. In an instant, a grand ancient Thunder Array enveloped Ye Xuan within.

With the formation of the ancient Thunder Array, eight portals appeared around the formation. Each portal's interior was chaotic, conveying a powerful will from ancient times.

"This is quite tricky."

Ye Xuan's expression grew serious. He could clearly see how difficult the Thunder Array was to deal with.

Without showing some true skills, it's unlikely he'd break through here.

At this time, in the Water Domain.

This was a vast, endless prairie, where vibrant green filled the view, exuding an intense and lively vitality.

Among this prairie, lakes were scattered, connecting into one stretch. Between these lakes of the Water Domain, a series of grand yet uniquely styled palaces were erected, exceptionally imposing.

And at the deepest point of the Water Domain, a towering and majestic gigantic stone plaza stood tall, about a hundred feet above the ground, supported by numerous huge stone pillars. From afar, it looked like a giant standing between heaven and earth, offering a spectacular sight.

On this gigantic stone plaza, the space appeared twisted, with sporadic blue lights flickering. Shadows flashed from them, then gently landed on the plaza. By now, this massive plaza was already packed with people, and the clamorous noises combined, reaching the sky.

The place was a sea of people, with just the descendants of the Water Clan gathered here likely more than ten thousand, not to mention people from the other four major clans.

This blue light hovered like a sky curtain above, and at the plaza's core were five altars, each emitting a brilliant beam of light, connecting to the sky.

The Divine Sacrifice Ceremony had begun.

Around these altars were five figures radiating extremely powerful auras, and only a Martial Emperor's strength could possess such a level of aura.

These five were the leaders of the five great clans.

Five thick beams of light connected heaven and earth, and the space above twisted fiercely, followed by a staggering vortex appearing. From the vortex, a multicolored light shone out.

"The Heavenly Token is coming down."

The noise of the crowd quickly subsided, and a joyful expression simultaneously appeared in the eyes of the leaders of the five great clans.
