Thunder Cave.
This paradise is shaped like a deep valley, with thick streaks of lightning hanging in the sky.
In the green void, the sound of thunder was endless, as if many thunder gods were crying.
The rocks in the valley absorb the extraordinary power of thunder from this blessed land and condense into thunder crystals, thunder iron, thunder jade, and more precious iron ores that contain the power of thunder.
At this moment, Pang Lin sat quietly in the valley, completely unaware of the great changes in the outside world.
Behind her, there was a three-meter-tall tree that was absorbing lightning and growing vigorously.
This tree is called "Nine Heavens Thunder God Tree" and it was bred in the "Thunder Cave Heaven". She didn't know where the tree came from, but she knew that this tree was imprinted with the natural laws of thunder.
The tree veins, leaves, trunks, and branches are all condensing thunder and lightning, and will one day produce the Thunder Fruit.
“Wow!”
A strong and burly old man, as if made of thunder and lightning, suddenly appeared in the valley.
He was barefoot and had a conspicuous dragon horn on his forehead. He suddenly emerged from the valley and the thunder in the sky disappeared.
"Hey, the legendary Nine Heavens Thunder God Tree! In the eyes of all Thunder Gods, this tree is a treasure. I didn't expect that such a thing could be bred in a blessed place in Purgatory."
The old man smiled brightly.
Pang Lin was stunned for just a moment before she realized who the other person was. She pursed her lips, took out the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Bone, and silently placed it on her knees.
Her body couldn't stop shaking.
She knew that one day, she would have to face this old dragon that the world feared.
From the moment she brought the Heavenly Phoenix Divine Bone into the Pure Land, from the first day she met her master Su Wanrou.
Everyone was telling her one thing, overtly or covertly—she was going to be promoted to a true god through the Thunder God Path.
The old thunder dragon in the dragon cave is a real towering mountain. For herself, for the Pure Land, and for the entire human race, she must cross it.
She knew how powerful the old dragon was, and the more she learned about the thunder dragon, the more she wanted to give up.
During this process, her senior sister has been encouraging her, her master asked her to believe in herself, and Bai He, Sun Bin and others are all helping her to improve her realm and cultivation.
The white crane who was always bad-mouthing others even went to the Yunlei Forbidden Land to collect lightning from the sky for her and nearly lost his life.
It is these people who care about her who have repeatedly tempered her willpower, making her go from being fragile at the beginning to becoming more and more determined and resilient.
Gradually, she also came to believe that she was an unparalleled genius in the world and that she should be promoted to a true god through the Thunder God Path.
She fantasized that she could become a god, stand at the highest point of power in Purgatory, and be able to protect her brother.
But these strong wills and beautiful fantasies were shattered the moment they actually saw the old thunder dragon.
She devoted herself to practicing the Thunder Spirit Art and comprehending many thunder principles. Only then did she realize how terrifying this old thunder dragon was and how profound his understanding of the thunder principles was.
The Thunder Dragon did not deliberately display his strength, but the moment he stepped into the "Thunder Cave Heaven", he merged with this world.
The lightning bolts, the thunder rocks, and even the strange little tree behind her seemed to be cheering for the arrival of the Thunder Dragon, as if He should be the Lord of Thunder.
This made Pang Lin feel powerless. She felt that no matter how hard she tried, she would never be able to surpass Lei Long.
Suddenly, a gorgeous phoenix made of divine light quietly appeared and floated behind Pang Lin.
The phoenix's illusory wings slowly protected Pang Lin's delicate body, preventing her from getting hurt.
His eyes were fixed on the "Nine Heavens Thunder God Tree". Long Xiao was thinking about how to merge the nine thunder vortices with the tree, when he was suddenly attracted by the gorgeous phoenix.
The old Thunder Dragon sighed and said, "You failed to regenerate, but the old black turtle came back to life."
"You chose a genius of the human race who was born with a lightning vortex and who had a great Dao dispute with me, to inherit your divine power. You hoped that the true gods of the human race would push her to the peak of the immortal realm, so that she could shine brilliantly on my corpse."
"I know you hate me, and I also know that the problem with the Fifth Realm Heavenly Tribulation Pillar is most likely related to you."
"But I don't blame you."
From beginning to end, he was either looking at the Nine Heavens Thunder God Tree or at the remaining shadow of Tian Feng, but he never looked at Pang Lin.
"I really hope you are still alive, and I hope you can be reborn with the blood of Nirvana, so that you can see how I can create a new era of prosperity for the demon race in this era."
"What you and the Black Turtle cannot do, I will succeed in achieving right now. I will let our demon race dominate Purgatory."
The Thunder Dragon ignored Pang Lin's existence and flew into this "Thunder Cave Heaven". He expressed his feelings to the remaining shadow of the Sky Phoenix, and then withdrew his dragon soul.
…
True Dragon Palace.
On the dome of this magnificent palace, there are many lifelike dragon reliefs.
Thunder dragons, fire dragons, frost dragons, five-clawed golden dragons, each giant dragon seems to be soaring in the depths of the vast galaxy.
The True Dragon Hall is supported by thick and broad stone pillars, on which are relief carvings of black tortoises, phoenixes, unicorns, Yuan snakes, golden elephants, red birds, and giant apes.
For every level 10 demon god that has appeared in the history of the demon race, there is a corresponding relief rubbing left behind.
The magnificent mural on the dome depicting numerous giant dragons soaring across the galaxy is Long Xiao’s eternal ideal and his lifelong pursuit.
The demon gods on the pillars have different meanings from the dragon gods. They are like pillars to support his ideals and help the dragon gods dominate the galaxy.
He is indeed working for the benefit of the demon race, promoting their growth, and hoping for the emergence of more demon god seats.
But He also had obvious selfish motives.
The dragon, or more precisely, a dragon like Him, should always be the leader of the demon gods and must be the helmsman of the demon clan.
“Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!”
The demon kings in the True Dragon Palace are all in human form, and none of them reveals their true form.
"Old Xiong, congratulations on becoming a demon god."
"Mr. Xiong, please take care of me in the future."
When some demon kings came over, they saw that the old thunder dragon had not come yet, so they gathered around the rock bear.
After being promoted to a level 10 demon god, the rock bear’s lifespan limit was broken. He was no longer old and frail, and his transformed human form was that of a simple and honest middle-aged man with dark yellow skin.
He nodded to the demon kings who greeted him, without being arrogant or getting particularly close to anyone.
He knew in his heart that in the eyes of all the demon kings, the old thunder dragon was still the leader of the demon clan and the true master of the Holy Spirit Continent.
The Thunder Dragon has dominated this continent for a long time. As a newly promoted demon god, there is no way he can shake the ruling position of the old dragon in a short period of time.
"Sorry for the long wait."
Long Xiao suddenly appeared, standing next to a black and yellow stone pillar with a black turtle relief, and said, "I asked everyone to come here to tell you something."
"After my efforts over this period of time and repeated communication with certain people, I have solved the problem that has troubled the demon tribe for many years."
He closed his eyes and listened to the noise of the demon kings.
"one two three… "
He counted to seven in his heart, then opened his eyes again and said, "Feel inside your heart whether the blood talent that has been dormant for many years has suddenly emerged?"
All the demon kings were shocked.
They circulated their essence, blood, and demonic power, using their demonic souls to gain insight into themselves, and gradually saw that new blood crystal chains were condensing deep in their hearts.
The demon kings' pupils were boiling like their hearts, and they were all shocked by this scene.
The power of sealing that had been restraining the demon clan's bloodline for countless years and preventing the demon clan's bloodline from fully displaying their talents was unexpectedly eliminated after Thunder Dragon opened his eyes!
There had always been invisible shackles that prevented the demon clan from unleashing their full combat power, making the demon clan's path to advancement more difficult.
Now, this shackle has been broken by the Thunder Dragon!
The status of the Thunder Dragon in the Demon King's mind and its reputation in the entire demon clan were suddenly pushed to an unprecedented height!
"What checks and balances the bloodline of the demon race is not the alien race of the fifth realm, but the seven pillars of calamity that reach the sky! The fallen Phoenix made a lot of efforts in the casting of the pillars of calamity that reach the sky. He was also deceived by the true god of the human race, but it led to a big mistake after all."
"He is gone now. I am not going to look into his past mistakes. I just want you to remember them."
"After the successful construction of the Heaven-reaching Tribulation Pillar, the human race imposed a new restriction, using despicable means to prevent our bloodline from fully exerting its power."
"Because of this, after the fall of Tianfeng and Xuangui, no new demon god was born."
Lei Long calmly told the "truth".
He never mentioned that the dragons in the Dragon Cave like himself had never had their bloodlines restricted, not to mention that the dragon clan was also the beneficiary.
…
Holy Spirit Continent, East.
Deep in the rolling mountains, there is a towering palace standing out. This is the True Dragon Palace.
"laugh!"
A flash of sword light suddenly appeared.
When the sword light stopped, Li Zhaotian's majestic figure emerged, and he shouted towards the palace: "Long Xiao, come out and die!"
This is the Holy Spirit Continent. The mountains that stretch for thousands of miles below all belong to the Dragon Cave.
In the True Dragon Palace, there are more than a dozen demon kings, several level nine dragons, and the newly promoted demon god Rock Bear.
And he knew all this clearly.
But he still did not avoid it. He did not think of waiting until the demon kings dispersed and the place was less lively before attacking the old thunder dragon.
He vented his immense anger in the most brutal way.
He chose to draw his sword!
“Wow! Wow!”
Long streaks of sword light slashed towards the mountains. The sword light penetrated deep into the earth like a cage, imprisoning the young dragons in many caves.
In different caves, there are more than twenty dragons of seventh, sixth, and eighth levels. Their life and death depend on his thoughts.
"Li Zhaotian, you dare!"
The demon king roared, and the ninth-level dragon roared.
Li Zhaotian shook his sleeves, and a miniature nine-story tower appeared, hanging upside down.
As soon as the tower appeared, thousands and thousands of sword lights flew out, some fell into the caves in the mountains, some escaped into the True Dragon Palace, or hung on the back of the neck of the big monster waiting nearby.
The nine-story tower, which symbolizes the supreme majesty of the Sword Tower and is famous in the history of Purgatory, was brought directly here by Li Zhaotian.
"Either release him immediately, or I will kill all your descendants!"
