The Ancestor of All Demons

This Marshal Xin is one of the thirty-six leading Commanders of the Thunder Department, holding an extremely high position, directly commanding two Divine Generals and twelve hundred Thunder Soldiers under his banner.

To speak so kindly and calmly with Shi Feiyang is already acknowledging his Golden Immortal status.

A Golden Immortal is the highest level of existence within the Three Realms; 'golden' signifies eternal existence, indestructible through myriad tribulations, and reaching this level is already top-tier.

Yuanshi Tianzun is also a Golden Immortal, and so is the Heavenly God.

Of course, there are differences among Golden Immortals, but there is no essential distinction.

If Shi Feiyang followed the path of a Golden Immortal and ascended to Heaven by himself, acquiring the official talisman of the Heavenly God, he would immediately be at a leadership level, not ranked lower than a third-tier Divine Official... Of course, his power might not surpass Marshal Xin's, but his position would certainly be above him.

However, Shi Feiyang is being utterly unreasonable, openly defying Heavenly laws, the Heavenly Court, and the Supreme Celestial Heavenly God of the Three Realms!

The Marshal roared in a deep voice, as if a thunderbolt miles away, advising Shi Feiyang to return to the Lower Realm immediately and ascend through the proper procedures: "Otherwise, you'll be sentenced for deceiving Heaven and defying Heaven's command, and you'll inevitably be captured and taken to the Scraping Immortal Platform for a round!"

Since Shi Feiyang came here, there was no way he could be persuaded to go back.

The Thunder General's body expanded, with his bones cracking noisily, sparks flying everywhere, and lightning glaring fiercely.

He held multiple positions, not just in the Thunder Department, but also had titles in places like the North Pole Exorcism Institute, far beyond ordinary Thunder Gods, and also held the position of Five Thunder Judge.

In his left hand, he held the Thunder Register, which, when opened, was densely filled with thunder and lightning. In his right hand, he took the Fire Pen, casually sketching, and immediately the sky filled with thunderstorm, especially one bolt with heavenly fire erupted from the pen's tip, rushing fiercely toward Shi Feiyang!

If it were a demon or malevolent spirit in the Human World, no matter how powerful, forget Marshal Xin personally taking action, even a random Heavenly Thunder strike from the Thunder General beside him would be unbearable, and they'd be instantly scattered soul and spirit.

Marshal Xin also held a position in the North Pole Exorcism Institute, known for only killing, not sparing, malevolent spirits and vicious ghosts. The mere mention of his name struck terror in all demons, everywhere the Heavenly Thunder strikes, all evil perishes!

Their thunder is different from the naturally born Nine Heavens Divine Thunder, which is generated through the natural induction of clear and turbid energies. His divine artifacts either came from the Thunder Department, blessed by the Nine Heavens Responding Yuan Universal Transforming Heavenly Venerate, or from the North Pole Exorcism Institute, blessed by the Great Emperor Ziwei. Coupled with their cultivation, specifically designed for slaying demons and monsters with greater targeting, though naturally born thunders are powerful, one can still find ways to evade or substitute oneself through sacrificial methods. However, the Heavenly Thunder released by Marshal Xin, imbued with the will of the Heavenly Venerate, the Great Emperor, and himself, directly locks onto a person's Primordial Spirit, with no escape or hiding possible.

Shi Feiyang felt a tightening of Divine Energy, locked onto by the opponent's Divine Sense, followed by the emergence of a thundercloud storm spanning a thousand miles overhead. Then, the dense thunder and lightning energy poured down like torrential rain, among which the most dazzling thunderfire was emitted from that Five Thunder Judge's Pen, possessing the momentum to thoroughly penetrate the Outer Heaven Divine Mountain from top to bottom!

He thought it was a good time to come, forming seals with both hands, his Golden Immortal Power surged, unleashing the Primordial Qi of the Five Elements Lotus Platform, layered upon layers above his head, manifesting an innumerable number of colorful light lotuses—pale green, dark green, dark red, watery red, silver gray, golden yellow... various sizes and colors appearing not constantly but only when struck by thunder, catching a bolt and then disappearing immediately.

The output of billions of lightning strikes in a moment from this thousand-mile thunderstorm was merely the initial burst, with a constant, relentless onslaught that was entirely blocked by these colorful light lotuses.

Shi Feiyang intended to withstand a third himself, allowing the rest to fall below, so the people below could experience the Thunder God's Wrath.

Regrettably, this was released by Marshal Xin locked specifically onto him, with each thunderbolt aimed directly at him.

The most formidable was that one issued by the Five Thunder Judge's Pen, which Shi Feiyang intercepted using his Top Three Golden Flowers.

These three Golden Flowers, besides containing his own Essence Energy, also incorporated three Purple And Blue Divine Flames, and the Nine Golden Flowers from Guang Chengzi's Primordial Yang Ruler. Through the intense forging by the previous Nine Heavens Divine Thunder, they were already thoroughly merged. Marshal Xin's thunder from the Judge's Pen was powerful, blasting wildly on the middle Golden Flower, causing sparks to jump and light rain to scatter, but the Golden Flower didn't so much as move or sway.

Marshal Xin's pupils contracted, thunder sparkled within them, knowing his opponent was strong, yet the Heavens hold many Golden Immortals he's seen often.

Though not a Golden Immortal himself, possessing great authority and divine artifacts from three departments, in a real fight, he's no less capable than a Golden Immortal, yet Shi Feiyang's strength already surpassed an ordinary Golden Immortal...

Relying solely on the Five Thunder Judge's Pen wasn't enough against Shi Feiyang, so he stopped exerting more effort and summoned the Thunder Drum instead, totaling five in number. Once they sounded together, all drums rang, with five thunders firing simultaneously.

The Thunder Register and Fire Pen produce Lightning Thunder, while the Thunder Drum produces Dark Thunder, which does not display visible lightning flashes. However, each beat resonates for miles, as the thunder does not originate from heaven or earth but rather manifests from the inside outward. This occurs because people themselves have yin and yang energies, and the vibration induces internal thunder.

With a single rumble, mountains and rivers shatter. It is quite overkill to use it against demons, akin to slaying a chicken with a butcher's knife. Creatures like the legendary Flying Zombie Demon and the Great Black Buddha Mother would be shattered instantly.

Five Thunder Drums floated around him, sounding at the command of his heart. Simultaneously, he held the Thunder Register in his left hand, gently shaking it to cause a downpour of thunder, while his right hand wielded the pen, its tip discharging thunderbolts.

Moreover, he commanded his two directly governed Thunder Generals and twelve thousand Thunder Soldiers to simultaneously cast spells.

These Thunder Soldiers were mostly like Lu Rongbo, Heavenly Immortals who could not achieve Pure Yang through their own cultivation power. Some ascended through accumulating merits and touching the heavens and earth, others received talismans from their sects, gaining experience, and ascended to the heavens after death.

Regarding their own strength, a Nine Child Mother Sky Demon wielding the Nine Heavenly Demon Immortal Slaying Swords could annihilate them all!

However, after reaching heaven, they received positions from the Heavenly Emperor, nourished by the Pure Spirit Qi of the heavenly soil. Their strength gradually increased day by day, wielding divine artifacts issued by the Thunder Department, and underwent training to form arrays to combat enemies. Their power completely transformed. The same nine heavenly demons wielding demon swords, when besieged and trapped in a thunder array, would soon face complete annihilation, leaving not even a trace of consciousness.

The two Thunder Generals ascended by correcting the Yang God through their own strength, and with divine artifacts, their power grew even more formidable.

They formed a thunder array, following Marshal Xin to unleash thunder above Shi Feiyang.

At this time, the Outer Heaven Divine Mountain was still enduring the effects of the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder, Supreme Heaven Divine Flames, and Pure Spirit Heavenly Wind. Although it transitioned from "Martial Fire" to "Civil Fire," with nearly half the energy still being expended, the collective bombardment from the Thunder Generals reignited the effect.

Shi Feiyang, standing on the Lotus Platform, continuously used the Lotus to absorb each bolt of thunder energy, refining treasures with it, also exposing various Magical Treasures to the thunder, even the Demon Scripture, while shouting, "Stronger! Stronger! Even this thunder's firepower is insufficient!"

Logically, the demons within the Blood Demon Scripture, whether they be Heavenly Demons, Earth Demons, Human Demons, or Buddha Demons, should all be suppressed by the Nine Heavens Spiritual Energy and Evil Extermination Heavenly Thunder. Under such intense bombardment, the Demon Scripture should have been reduced to ashes long ago.

However, coincidentally, there is an advanced practitioner named Xin Ru, who initially practiced Dao, then Buddhism, and eventually demon practices.

Xin Ru had a master teaching her Daoist Techniques, forming her foundation, enabling her to reach the Cosmic Six Strange Level. In Buddhism, she received illumination from high monks, entering Buddhist homes with her mind. She self-cultivated subsequent Buddhist Law, later descending into the Demon Path, where she innovated all her own magic on the basis of previous Buddhist practices!

When cultivating Dao, she was at the Cosmic Six Strange Level. During Buddhist cultivation, she could form Dharma Bodies in multiple Pure Lands of Buddhas. However, in demon cultivation, she was astonishing... Even when Marshal Xin brought over a thousand subordinates to duel against her, they stood no chance, whether then or now. Red Flower Princess and other heavenly demons were ordered by Shi Feiyang to strive for crossing tribulations, enduring the baptism of Heavenly Thunder. If they could not withstand it, they were sent down to Xin Ru.

Xin Ru received them entirely, becoming more courageous as she fought, but harbored doubts: somehow, the Thunder Skill seems different, like it has changed from being wild to being domesticated. Regardless of its power, it exhibits an effect specifically targeting human Primordial Spirits, capable of breaking my Dharma Body!

Marshal Xin fought long and hard, soon welcoming another patrol god, Marshal Bi.

Bi Zongyuan also held positions in both the Thunder Department and North Pole Exorcism Institute, possessing an array of titles. However, he controlled Yin Thunder, unlike Xin Hanchen. Known as the Yin Thunder God, he also commanded two Thunder Generals and twelve hundred Thunder Soldiers, arriving from the north.

The Immortal Realm has twelve Marshals daily, most belonging to the Thunder Department as either True Gods or Dharma Protecting Spirit Officials, holding duties at the North Pole Exorcism Institute. They are specialized in combat, each leading a contingent patrolling in varying directions.

Today, it just so happened that Marshal Xin was patrolling here and first encountered Shi Feiyang. As Marshal Bi wasn't far off, he was the first to arrive.

Marshal Bi wielded a black, imposing Heavenly Thunder Giant Axe. Upon discovering anyone dared to attempt forceful ascension with an entire mountain, populated by beings numbering in countless millions, he initially thought he had misheard and that everything he saw was an illusion. Upon confirmation, unable to restrain himself, he bellowed, "Demon Immortals causing chaos, condemning them to death!" Swinging his giant axe, he summoned millions of black-purple Yin Thunder streaks across the sky, mingling with Xin Hanchen's Five Fire Heavenly Thunder, bombarding downward while commanding his subordinates to attack.

He specialized in Yin Thunder, with his Thunder Generals and Thunder Soldiers releasing exclusively Yin Thunder. There is a saying that goes "Yang Thunder, Yin Madness," and they predominantly unleashed Yin Madness. It appeared dark as ink, and barely emitted sound, but was accompanied by purple flames, resembling countless black poisonous snakes, wriggling as they bit toward Shi Feiyang.

Shi Feiyang initially used the top three flowers above his head to absorb the direct hit from the giant axe, then confronted the countless black Yin Thunder using the continuously appearing Colorful Light Lotus.

It was not his first encounter with such thunder, but usually, Yin Thunder originated from the underground, emitted by demons. This one from the Thunder Department True God was considerably different.
