Chapter 1008: Collecting the Spirit of Thunder and Lightning, Annihilation of the Ghost Hall Cultivators

Editor: Henyee Translations

The show of strength by Shen Ruyan undeniably disrupted the formation of the Ghost Hall cultivators, making them unwilling to let go of the credit they believed they had at hand, thus they hastily pursued her.

However, Shen Ruyan had more than just escape in mind.

After feinting once to mislead all the cultivators, Shen Ruyan transformed into a bolt of lightning and flew towards the location where the power of thunder and lightning had previously hidden itself.

Her intent was not to flee; the earlier diversion was merely a deceptive tactic she had crafted.

The Ghost Hall cultivators, deceived by her act, unwittingly bolstered their confidence, thinking they had her cornered and relentlessly pursued her.

Under Shen Ruyan’s lead, the sounds of thunder in the void became more frequent and powerful.

However, unbeknownst to the Ghost Hall cultivators due to Shen Ruyan’s deliberate concealment, they remained unaware of the true danger.

The chase, though brief, soon culminated in a dramatic conclusion.

At one moment, Shen Ruyan suddenly halted, seemingly giving up the struggle, and was quickly surrounded by the cultivators once more.

Yet before the cultivators could mock her, she activated her innate ability, the Thunder Spirit True Body, and transformed into a being of pure lightning.

A highly concentrated burst of Five Elements Thunder erupted from her, shaking the heavens, and forced the surrounding Ghost Hall cultivators to retreat several hundred meters to avoid the devastating strike.

Rumble!

The fearsome Five Elements Thunder did not strike any of the cultivators but instead blasted into a particular area of the void.

This left the surrounding Ghost Hall cultivators puzzled.

BOOM!

However, in the next moment, an unexpected transformation occurred. The spot of the void that had seemed empty exploded with terrifying force.

From that point, endless waves of thunder surged out like a tidal wave of lightning.

The Ghost Hall cultivators couldn’t react in time and were immediately struck by the onslaught, suffering serious injuries.

Shen Ruyan, now in her Thunder Spirit form, virtually ignored the waves of thunder, even gaining insights into new thunder Dao from the chaos.

The power unleashed by her strike was, naturally, the Spirit of Thunder and Lightning of this location. Although it had been hiding in the void, for Shen Ruyan, it shone as clearly as a beacon.

“Awaken, Spirit of Thunder and Lightning.”

With her successful strike, Shen Ruyan didn’t hesitate to further invoke the Thunder Dao, aggressively drawing out the Spirit of Thunder and Lightning presence.

At this moment, she used the Spirit of Thunder and Lightning as an amplifier, using her own Five Elements Thunder Dao as a catalyst to wildly ignite the power of the thunder.

Rumble!

Instantly, the void exploded with terrifying thunder, and a prismatic Thunder Spirit emerged, appearing crystalline and resembling a jade kirin.

Stimulated by Shen Ruyan, the wild thunder power burst forth from the Spirit of Thunder and Lightning, targeting the surrounding Ghost Hall cultivators.

The Spirit of Thunder and Lightning, a natural entity, inherently despised the powers wielded by these cultivators and instinctively targeted them with its attacks.

This formidable thunder power had reached the peak of Dao Mastery.

However, without having refined the Spirit of Thunder and Lightning, some of this power leaked out, striking indiscriminately.

Faced with the formidable power of the Spirit of Thunder and Lightning, the Ghost Hall cultivators were even more terrified.

They had not anticipated that Shen Ruyan could so easily trigger an attack of such terrifying magnitude.

Rumble!

The situation quickly reversed. The power of the Spirit of Thunder and Lightning transformed into a colossal dragon of lightning that lit up the world, striking all the Ghost Hall cultivators with devastating force.

The cultivators, barely surviving the first wave of attacks, were immediately overwhelmed by the next surge of the enraged Spirit of Thunder and Lightning.

The enraged Spirit of Thunder and Lightning completely transformed the area into a thunderous torrent and a furnace of lightning, turning the trapped cultivators into nothing more than beasts in a slaughter, endlessly scorched by relentless thunder.

The battle ended without suspense. After the thunder subsided, the void was utterly shattered, strewn with fragments of lightning, resembling a chaotic pool of thunder.

In the void, the only figure still standing was Shen Ruyan, along with the now calm Spirit of Thunder and Lightning nearby.

The Ghost Hall cultivators lay scattered on the ground, reduced to charred remains.

Despite her victory, Shen Ruyan appeared somewhat disheveled and was nearly exhausted, her energy faint.

Yet, this battle, fought against greater numbers and across higher levels, ending in the complete annihilation of her enemies, was undoubtedly a testament to her title as the Holy Daughter of Thunderclap Valley.

After a brief respite, Shen Ruyan finally began to collect the opportunity that was hers—the Spirit of Thunder and Lightning.

The spirit’s agitation had been exhausted in the battle, leaving it docile and submissive, a double victory for Shen Ruyan.

Without hesitation, she found a secluded valley nearby and began to slowly absorb and refine the Spirit.

The threads of new thunder Dao and the power of the Spirit were greedily absorbed by her, rapidly restoring and boosting her energy, breaking through limits one after another.

…

Meanwhile, thousands of miles away in another part of the Immortal cave abode, after annihilating all the Sacred Skeleton Sect cultivators, Jiang Chengxuan left that area, calm and composed.

He then took out the Profound Dao Disk again to initiate his Heavenly Calculation Technique.

Having achieved the peak of Dao Mastery, he now possessed the strength to confront a Mahayana Daolord head-on. He was not afraid of the so-called Demon Ancestor Skeleton

At the moment Demon Ancestor Skeleton tried to divine his whereabouts, Jiang Chengxuan had already sensed the attempt.

However, Demon Ancestor Skeleton ultimately could not break the Heavenly Calculation Technique, which reassured Jiang Chengxuan but also left him somewhat disappointed.

Had Demon Ancestor Skeleton truly sought him out, it would have been uncertain who would fall, given the Demon Ancestor Skeleton’s ignorance of his capabilities.

However, since Demon Ancestor Skeleton did not come looking, Jiang Chengxuan saw no need to provoke a battle unnecessarily.

For Jiang Chengxuan, the priority was to locate Shen Ruyan and the others—that was what mattered most at the moment.

Immersed in his divination, Jiang Chengxuan noticed that his powers of divination had strengthened considerably after achieving the peak of Dao Mastery.

The divination results this time were exceedingly clear, revealing the scenery of a valley, which gradually became visible.
