The Thunder Cliff was thousands of meters high, and the cliff was dark blue in color.
The surrounding area was a vast plain, with only the Thunder Cliff standing tall. From afar, the Thunder Cliff looked like a huge pillar that supported the sky.
The sky above the Thunder Cliff was filled with lightning all year round, hence its name. The power of the lightning was extremely strong and domineering. The lightning struck all year round, and the entire cliff was assimilated by the power of lightning. Not a single blade of grass grew on it, and no life could survive on it.
When the founder of the Wind Thunder Sect passed by and saw such a strange scene, he was inspired. He comprehended on the Thunder Cliff for three hundred years, created the Wind Thunder Technique, and established the Wind Thunder Sect.
From then on, the Thunder Cliff became the sacred ground of the Wind Thunder Sect. The Wind Thunder Sect operated here for hundreds of thousands of years, and finally formed the Wind Thunder City with the Thunder Cliff as its core.
The Wind Thunder City was not one city, but eight. The eight cities surrounded the Thunder Cliff, arranged in the Eight Trigrams position, and set up a large formation that covered hundreds of thousands of miles.
Within the range of this large formation, only the disciples of the Wind Thunder Sect could move freely. Other outsiders would have to apply and obtain a Dharma Talisman before they could enter the Wind Thunder City.
Outsiders without talismans would be attacked by lightning as soon as they entered the Wind Thunder City.
There were more than a billion people in the eight Wind Thunder Cities, and they were all direct disciples of the Wind Thunder Sect. By using the lightning from the sky, the eight Wind Thunder Cities had perfect magic power operation, and it went deep into every corner of life.
Including lighting, heating, traveling, and so on, they all used the power of lightning. Although there were many large sects in the world, there were not many like the Wind Thunder City that could use magic power in daily life.
The reason why the Thunder Cliff was able to achieve this was because of the endless power of thunder. In fact, the daily consumption of lightning magic power was less than one percent.
The remaining 99 percent was used to maintain the operation of the formation, personal cultivation, alchemy, and other important matters.
As the most outstanding disciple of the Wind Thunder Sect in this generation, Lei Yuan lived in the Ling Xiao Tower in the northwest corner of Zhen City.
As a core disciple, he occupied the top floor of the Ling Xiao Tower. What he liked to do was to sit on the deck chair on the balcony, drink tea, watch the sunset, and watch the pedestrians in the city, and enjoy the peace of life.
But Lei Yuan was not in the mood. From his position, he could see that the Thunder Cliff in the distance was painted a deep scarlet red.
The bolts of lightning that fell from the sky were all devoured by the scarlet.
This was already the second day. Hu Jiu cast an evil technique and forcefully enveloped the Thunder Cliff. Most of the connections between Thunder Cliff and the Eight Cities were cut off.
The Wind Thunder Sect's Sect Master and many Essence Soul Elders were at Thunder Cliff. They had set up a great array to fight against Hu Jiu. The Thunder Technique, which was good at destroying all evil spirits, was not very effective against Hu Jiu.
Over the past two days, the power of lightning he had unleashed was enough to destroy the eight Wind Thunder Cities. However, it still could not break through the scarlet light.
The Wind Thunder Sect was a dignified Immortal Sect, but they couldn't do anything to Hu Jiu. The Thunder Cliff, on the other hand, was trapped by Hu Jiu, and it was hard for him to break free.
This situation made everyone in the Wind Lightning Sect very uneasy. Although the Eight Cities of Wind and Thunder did not know the specific situation, they could all see the intense scarlet blood color on the Thunder Cliff.
Everyone felt as though a huge rock was pressing down on their hearts, but normal xiuzhe were not qualified to interfere in a battle of this level. The connection between Thunder Cliff and the Eight Cities was also cut off. Although the Eight Cities had a lot of manpower, they couldn't do much.
Even Lei Yuan could only watch anxiously from afar, let alone ordinary disciples.
With his current cultivation, he would be courting death if he went up. The aura that Hu Jiu exuded had far exceeded that of an Essence Soul expert.
The combined power of the many xiuzhe from the Wind Thunder Sect, the Thunder Cliff Array, and the many divine artifacts could only barely fight Hu Jiu.
However, Lei Yuan felt that the situation was very bad. They could fight Hu Jiu in a stalemate now. The problem was that they couldn't beat Hu Jiu at all.
Although the Thunder Cliff Array was strong, it couldn't last for too long if it was running at full power. When they were weak, Hu Jiu would definitely fight back.
Lei Yuan could only hope that the major sects could come to their rescue in time. There would always be a way to kill Hu Jiu when all the heroes gathered.
Lei Yuan was restless, but he still didn't see any reinforcements until the sky turned dark. He had expected this, but he still couldn't help but be disappointed.
The major sects were far apart. They were always on guard against each other, so it was impossible for them to set up a Teleportation Array. When the other sects received a request for help, even if they rushed over at the fastest speed, it would still take five to six days.
At night, the scarlet light on the Thunder Cliff was even brighter. From afar, it looked like a ball of flames. The flames often flashed with bolts of lightning, looking quite dazzling.
Standing on the Ling Xiao Tower, one could see that most of the night sky was dyed red. The dark red night sky was like an ominous omen, making one feel more and more uneasy.
"Hu Jiu's abilities have improved …"
Lei Yuan was looking at the night sky, when he suddenly heard Yu Xuanqing's familiar voice. He turned his head to look, and sure enough, a green daoist robe fluttering, a jade crown on his head, and a face as beautiful as a lotus flower. It was Yu Xuanqing.
After not seeing each other for a while, Yu Xuanqing's eyes seemed to be even brighter, but also had an unfathomable feeling. When he met Yu Xuanqing's gaze, Lei Yuan felt like he was looking at the statue of his ancestor. That kind of supreme majesty made his mind go blank, and he instinctively wanted to kneel down and worship.
Lei Yuan gritted his teeth and guarded his mind, suppressing the impulse in his heart. He forced a smile and said, "Xuanqing, it's great that you're here!"
When he called Xuanqing, Lei Yuan's heart pounded. He felt that this was too rude, but out of habit and because he had always admired Yu Xuanqing, he gritted his teeth and insisted on using this title.
Yu Xuanqing didn't care about this. She looked at the Thunder Cliff in the distance, and her eyes that were as bright as the morning stars kept flashing, as if she wanted to see through the blood color of the Thunder Cliff.
Lei Yuan couldn't help but ask, "How is it, can the Northern Dark Star Absorbing Technique restrain Hu Jiu?"
Yu Xuanqing glanced at Lei Yuan, "With your cultivation, you can't even get close to Hu Jiu. Even if Hu Jiu is there for you to absorb, his magic power can make you explode. Even if there are a hundred of you, the result will be the same. "
Lei Yuan didn't believe it, "Is Hu Jiu that powerful?"
"He's that powerful."
Yu Xuanqing looked at the intense scarlet, and said helplessly, "Hu Jiu has split his body and soul into billions, and there are no flaws at all. If you want to break his secret technique, you have to suppress him with absolute strength! "
Lei Yuan asked doubtfully, "Split his body and soul into billions? Then how do you maintain the basic unity of consciousness? "
There were many kinds of clone techniques, but without exception, to split the clone, one had to split the consciousness. Otherwise, the clone would have no consciousness or intelligence. Once the consciousness was split, the clone would mutate and slowly become a separate individual.
Since ancient times, countless experts had become lunatics because of cultivating clones. Therefore, clone techniques were taboo for cultivators.
How did Hu Jiu split his body into billions of clones? This was a technical problem that couldn't be solved.
"That's a good question."
Yu Xuanqing nodded. Lei Yuan had asked the crucial question. In fact, this was the test one had to face when transcending the Essence Soul realm!
In the past few days, Yu Xuanqing had killed hundreds of millions of cultivators along the way. Of course, she wouldn't leave anyone alive when she took action, so no one knew that she had killed so many people.
During this period, she had absorbed enough Dharmic Power Origins, and her cultivation level had increased exponentially, reaching the 10th Firmament Essence Soul realm. If she was willing, she could break through the 10th Firmament Essence Soul realm and improve further.
The problem was that no cultivator had been able to break through the 10th Firmament Essence Soul realm since ancient times. At the Essence Soul realm, there were all sorts of perfect theories and solid foundations.
However, at the Essence Soul realm, there was nothing.
Yu Xuanqing broke through the 10th Firmament Essence Soul realm and saw a vast and endless world before her. But she didn't know which direction she should head in.
Breaking through was of course a good thing, but Yu Xuanqing's breakthrough was completely pushed by external forces. It wasn't something she had taken one step at a time.
Since her foundation was unstable, Yu Xuanqing naturally didn't dare to take this step casually. It was easy to take a step forward, but there was no turning back. If he took the wrong path, he would die and his Dao would disappear.
Yu Xuanqing rushed over at full speed after receiving Lei Yuan's call for help. Indeed, Hu Jiu had broken through the 10th Firmament Essence Soul realm and reached a higher realm.
It was this advantage in realm that allowed Hu Jiu to calmly face the Wind Thunder Sect's encirclement. However, the Wind Thunder Sect couldn't find Hu Jiu's flaws and were wasting their strength.
If this continued, the Wind Thunder Sect would definitely be destroyed!
However, Yu Xuanqing learned many things from Hu Jiu. Above the Essence Soul, one could circulate their strength in such a way, hiding their body and soul.
Vaguely, they had already become one with heaven and earth. Therefore, they could split into billions of divine lights. Their body and soul were illusory, but they could condense without dissipating.
Yu Xuanqing was a little envious. Hu Jiu must have received guidance from Gao Zhengyang. Otherwise, how could a hunter like him have such knowledge and wisdom?
Unfortunately, she and Gao Zhengyang weren't the same kind of people. It was impossible for her to ask him for guidance.
"Qingxuan?" Lei Yuan couldn't help but ask softly when he saw that Yu Xuanqing didn't speak.
Yu Xuanqing turned and looked at Lei Yuan seriously. "The Wind Thunder Sect can't be saved. Leave with me."
Lei Yuan turned pale with fright. "Impossible! How is that possible? There are more than a billion disciples of my sect here. How can we not defeat Hu Jiu? Impossible! "
Lei Yuan couldn't help but shout when he heard Yu Xuanqing's words. He was extremely agitated.
He grew up in the Wind Thunder Sect and was nurtured by the sect. He had deep feelings for the Wind Thunder Sect. How could he not be agitated when he heard that the Wind Thunder Sect was finished?
Yu Xuanqing could understand his loss of composure. She said indifferently, "You can't break Hu Jiu's mystic technique. All the power of lightning will be absorbed and transformed by him. When he accumulates his strength and counterattacks, everyone will die!"
"I'll go tell the sect master and the others now …" Lei Yuan was about to fly away.
Yu Xuanqing waved her horsetail whisk and Lei Yuan's body went numb. He stood there in a daze.
"Your reminder is useless. At this point, it's too late for you to stop."
Yu Xuanqing turned her horsetail whisk. The snow-white horsetail whisk turned into a long thread and wrapped around Lei Yuan.
She sighed. "Let's go. We'll come back for revenge in the future."
Lei Yuan wanted to refuse but he didn't have the strength to speak. He could only glare at Yu Xuanqing to express his anger.
Yu Xuanqing didn't care. She picked up Lei Yuan and flew into the sky, turning into a stream of light and leaving.
When Yu Xuanqing left, she felt Hu Jiu's gaze. She turned in the sky and saw that the scarlet red light on the Thunder Cliff had turned into a giant eye. It was looking at her coldly.
The distance between them was about one to two thousand miles, but when their Divine Wills intersected, they could clearly see each other.
The giant blood red eye revealed a strong killing intent. It was challenging Yu Xuanqing.
Yu Xuanqing sneered but didn't respond. There was a difference in cultivation level between her and Hu Jiu. It wasn't courage but stupidity to go up.
Sensing that Yu Xuanqing had made up her mind, Hu Jiu's eyes became more ruthless.
The giant blood red eye turned and turned into a blood red giant that was tens of thousands of feet tall. The majestic Thunder Cliff wasn't even as tall as the giant's feet.
The sudden change made the experts of the Wind Thunder Sect feel that something was wrong. Before they could react, the blood red giant threw out a large ball of lightning.
The blue and white lightning was like a tsunami, sweeping across the ground.
The eight Wind Thunder Cities surrounding the Thunder Cliff were quickly drowned by the lightning.
Amidst the endless thunder, the eight Wind Thunder Cities shook unsteadily. They were like ships in a raging tide, about to capsize at any time.
Lei Yuan, who was being carried by Yu Xuanqing, couldn't see this scene. But with Yu Xuanqing's divine sense, he could clearly see the situation in the eight Wind Thunder Cities.
"It's over!" Lei Yuan looked at the destruction helplessly as if he was struck by lightning.
The sea of lightning that swept in all directions exploded again. Billions of lightning flashed together, and divine light illuminated the world.
The eight Wind Thunder Cities in the divine light collapsed and shattered together. The city, the buildings, the trees, the residents, everything was blasted to smithereens by the lightning.
One billion Wind Thunder Sect disciples were reduced to ashes in this one attack.
After the sea of lightning exploded to its limit, it also turned into a stream of light and dissipated.
The blood red giant didn't stop. He bent down and grabbed the Thunder Cliff. With a roar, he pulled the Thunder Cliff out.
The Essence Soul experts on the Thunder Cliff were horrified and fled in all directions. The blood red giant swept the Thunder Cliff across the sky, and the Essence Soul experts exploded into balls of flames!
This attack was so explosive that even the void began to ripple.
Yu Xuanqing, who was thousands of miles away, was inevitably affected. His body was heaving up and down.
Lei Yuan watched the destruction of his sect and felt dejected. He no longer had any reaction to the changes in front of him.
However, the blood red giant didn't stop. He carried the Thunder Cliff in one hand and strode towards Yu Xuanqing. He was tens of thousands of feet tall and looked huge and slow. But with just one step, he traversed thousands of miles.
After taking a second step, the blood red giant arrived in the sky above Yu Xuanqing.
Hu Jiu didn't say anything. He held the Thunder Cliff and smashed it down. A faint light flashed, and Yu Xuanqing instantly tore through the void with Lei Yuan.
The Thunder Cliff smashed into the vast plain, leaving behind a huge crater with a radius of several hundred miles.
