Sect: Starting with Comprehending Thunder Skill

Chapter 1134 - 504: An Eye for an Eye

"Hmph! Are we just going to let him walk away?"Hui Hai’s eyes were wide with anger, muscles knotted beneath his robe, "I want to see how long he can hide!"

He swung his staff at the nearby boulder, a flash of golden light, and the towering rock turned to powder in an instant.

...

Li Yunjing didn’t know how angry those monks were. As soon as he left, he began to explore the Golden Core Realm trial ground.

This trial ground had been open for a long time. Many Golden Core Realm experts had already entered and were training in various places.

Li Yunjing was currently situated in a golden desert, endless and desolate, with nothing visible in any direction.

"It seems that this level of the trial is right here in this desert."

Li Yunjing stood on the shadow of a Yin-Yang fish, floating in mid-air, with his divine sense spreading out like a tide.

But within the golden sand sea, his forty-li perception seemed to vanish, like a stone sinking into the sea, except for occasional metallic clanging sounds from beneath the sand, as if countless creatures were moving within it.

"What a pity! This desert is so vast, I don’t even know where to head next!"

Li Yunjing frowned, realizing that even the divine sense of a Golden Core Realm cultivator was insufficient to explore everything, leaving him feeling a bit disappointed.

The Shenxiao Divine Forging Celestial Secret Technique was once again deployed. Li Yunjing held the Celestial Profound Compass in his left palm, which, activated by his Celestial Secret Technique, hummed with a "buzz buzz buzz," and the needle spun wildly...

After a quarter of an hour, calculating with the information from the Buddhist sect, Li Yunjing really found a clue.

With a swift movement, he soared forward, stepping on the shadow of the Yin-Yang Double Fish.

Shortly thereafter, having flown out for three hundred li, Li Yunjing halted and looked down at the desert below.

"Whoosh..."

Li Yunjing flicked his fingers towards the ground, unleashing thunder power that exploded into a pit as deep as a zhang, revealing the bottom was filled with rusty abandoned weapons—blades, spears, swords, halberds, axes, hooks, forks, and more.

These weapons were all discarded treasure artifacts, devoid of spirituality, now ordinary waste.

"Buzz..."

With a casual throw, the Five Dragon Wheel suddenly trembled fiercely, and five dragon shadows turned into streams of light, diving into the sand.

A moment later, the ground surged as a stone coffin covered in Buddhist Dao runes emerged from the soil.

"Hmm?"

Black gas seeped from the coffin’s lid, causing Li Yunjing’s pupils to constrict, for the aura carried traces of an Outer Realm demon.

This made him recall a scene from when he was transported to the Burial Immortal Ancient Realm, where the arrival of an Outer Realm demon had caused destruction, leading to the downfall of cultivators and the rise of demon beasts.

Just as Li Yunjing was hesitating, contemplating whether to open the stone coffin, a child’s playful laughter echoed from within, and the lid opened on its own, revealing a golden-eyed girl holding a blood jade bottle.

"Big brother, are you looking for a Buddha treasure?"

The girl stood barefoot on the stone coffin, her skirt sweeping over the discarded treasures, which instantaneously turned to dust and scattered with the wind.

In Li Yunjing’s eyes, those wastes were worthless, not even worth collecting, yet definitely still of Tier Two level!

But with the girl’s appearance, her mere presence reduced those materials to ashes. Clearly, this girl emerging from the coffin was no ordinary being.

Li Yunjing remained silent, cautiously watching the girl, seemingly trying to discern what she was!

"But the Buddha treasure is eating monks!"

The girl seemed unfazed, muttering to herself, speaking cryptically.

As Li Yunjing puzzled over her words, the girl suddenly tossed the jade bottle, and thick black mist surged from its mouth, transforming the surrounding hundred li into a Netherworld ghost realm.

"Not good! Could this girl be a ghost creature?"

Startled, Li Yunjing erupted with the power of the dragon and tiger, emitting golden light, and forming a Five-Colored Divine Light with the power of the Five Elements, encircling him to resist the ghostly aura outside!

"Hehe! Big brother has impressive skills!"

The girl giggled, leaping into the air, transforming into tens of thousands of blood butterflies that burrowed into the sand.

Suddenly, the ground cracked with web-like fissures, and black liquid spurted out.

"What the hell is this?"

Li Yunjing’s shadow of the Yin-Yang fish spun rapidly beneath him, narrowly evading the caustic black spring.

"Sizzling sizzling..."

The black spring shot high into the sky, releasing toxic fumes as it evaporated.

"Reversal of the Five Elements, Celestial Thunder Attraction!"

Li Yunjing’s gaze was sharp as a torch, locking onto the blood butterflies’ trajectory underground, forming a hand seal.

With a "boom," thunder as thick as a barrel, the Geng Metal Divine Thunder, Wood God Thunder, Binghuo Divine Thunder, Sunflower Divine Thunder, and Earth God Thunder struck down, carving deep chasms in the golden desert.

"Aiya..."

A sharp cry of the child echoed from below, as the thousands of blood butterflies reformed into the girl’s form, with her skirt stained with mottled scars from the thunder.

The blood jade bottle in her arms suddenly pulsed, transforming the black spring into a black dragon, which lunged at Li Yunjing, its eyes flickering with green ghost fire.

It was likewise not a living creature!

"So you’re a ’Netherworld Blood Butterfly’ cultivated into a spirit!"

Li Yunjing backhandedly tossed out the Five Dragon Wheel, five giant dragon shadows roared in response, and as their claws tore through the black dragon, foul-smelling poisonous blood rained down.

Li Yunjing bit his tongue, spraying a mouthful of essence blood onto the Five Dragon Wheel, causing this magical treasure to shine brilliantly.

At the same time, he channeled the Dragon Tiger Golden Core, his mana surging like rivers and seas, once again forming the Cyan Dragon and White Tiger Dharma Protectors, charging at the girl.

"Today, I shall capture you, malevolent creature!"

Before Li Yunjing’s voice fell, a chant from a Buddhist sutra resounded from the distant horizon, as the golden light formation formed by the monks of Mingxin Temple pierced through the black mist, having also pursued them here.

This made Li Yunjing’s expression turn grim, hesitating on what to do.

In his view, there’s a nine out of ten chance these bald monks intend to deal with him first, and it’s even possible they might collaborate with this fiend!

Li Yunjing was well aware of the treachery within the Buddhist sect!
