Chapter 1 The Tearing

A beam of bright blue light tore through the barrier. The powerful shockwave carried dense arcs of electricity, piercing through the domain with an almost unreasonable force. With continuous "zzt" sounds, tree-like lightning crawled across the sky.

The two Nihilists from the Southern faction suddenly raised their heads, their glassy, empty eyes revealing shock. One of the Nihilists held a crystal ball, which cracked with a crisp sound.

His expression changed drastically, then filled with heartache. This crystal ball was an eighth-grade item called "Small Chiliocosm." It could reflect everything within a radius of three hundred meters into the crystal ball, creating a domain similar to a dream.

This domain was based on dreams, and even Void professionals couldn't touch it. At the same time, it wasn't just a simple dream. The crystal ball formed a forbidden area. Nihilists below the eighth grade couldn't break the restriction even if they found it. This type of item was extremely rare and therefore precious.

Now that it had cracked, even if it wasn't completely destroyed, its quality would plummet. They probably couldn't find a second one in the entire Lingjing, so how could he not feel the pain?

The dream domain dissipated, and everyone fell back into the reality of the four evil faction Sovereigns.

Including Fu Qingyang, they all turned to look in the direction the electromagnetic cannon had fired from. A figure radiating blue light with arcs of electricity appeared in their vision. Although carbonized black veins covered his face.

With his pupils turning bright blue and an exaggerated tree-like lightning mark appearing on his forehead, they still recognized Yuanshi Tianzun at first glance. "Ninth grade aura, the Thunder God state is complete." A flash of shock disappeared from Fu Qingyang's eyes, replaced by indifference.

In contrast, the Sovereigns of the evil faction looked as if they had been struck by lightning, their bodies stiff, their expressions filled with shock, confusion, and fear.

Wasn't Yuanshi Tianzun just promoted to Sovereign? When did he gain such terrifying power?

As thoughts flashed through his mind, the snake charmer, clearly the leading figure, growled in a low voice, "Retreat!"

He soared into the air, taking another tainted spirit with him. The two Nihilists activated their dream jump ability.

However, there wasn't a single dream within a dozen miles.

"Too late." Zhang Yuanqing raised his hand and snapped his fingers loudly, "Thunderstorm!" Boom boom boom!

Pillars of lightning as thick as water tanks descended, accompanied by countless ferocious tree-like lightning bolts, turning the entire area into a plasma-filled thunder pool.

The lightning strikes formed pulses that instantly destroyed the entire park's circuits and electronic equipment. The two Nihilists who failed to escape into the dream stood side by side.

They constantly tried to nullify the pillars of lightning falling from the sky and the tree-like lightning filling the space, but the terrifying thunder was endless. They tried their best but could only nullify a small portion of the surrounding area.

They couldn't completely eliminate this terrifying thunderstorm.

As for the snake charmer and the other tainted spirit, insulating keratin grew on their bodies, blocking the lightning and heat from the outside. Then, the two summoned illusory altars, praying for blessings to increase their luck.

Seeing this, Zhang Yuanqing raised his right arm and condensed a dazzling lightning spear, fiercely throwing it at the strongest snake charmer. The snake charmer's hands developed bone hyperplasia, forming insulated gauntlets, and he forcibly grasped the lightning spear, constantly retreating under the suppression of the powerful kinetic energy.

Even if the power level of the Thunder God set reached ninth grade, it was impossible to instantly kill a veteran eighth-grade Sovereign.

At this moment, the snake charmer, whose hands were holding the spearhead and was being forced to retreat, suddenly felt a warning. He sensed danger approaching from behind. This was a special ability given to him by a Gu worm.

Without thinking, thick keratin grew on his back, waist, buttocks, neck, and back of his head, forming an all-around protective armor.

Zhang Yuanqing's true body canceled Night Tour, appearing behind him, holding a thirty-centimeter hand cannon and pulling the trigger at the back of his head.

"Boom." Purple lightning condensed, and a ball of lightning sprayed out. The huge recoil caused Zhang Yuanqing's wrist to jerk upwards.

The ball of lightning hit the back of his head solidly, and plasma splattered. The keratin on the snake charmer's head cracked, splashing blood.

Most importantly, the attack from behind caused him slight dizziness, and he could no longer hold the lightning spear, which pierced through his chest, filling his internal organs with electricity and causing them to carbonize.

"Boom boom boom!"

Pillars of lightning and tree-like lightning, filled with the aura of destruction, struck him one after another. The snake charmer's body stiffened, and he was paralyzed on the spot.

Zhang Yuanqing put away the Thunderstorm Cannon, grabbed the Purple Lightning Hammer, and slammed it hard at the cracked keratin on the snake charmer's head.

The doppelganger Zhang Yuanqing then used Electric Light Flash, came to the snake charmer's palm, and slapped a thunder ball into the charred wound on his chest.

The snake charmer's head and chest exploded simultaneously. The spirit quickly left the body, trying to escape, but the thunder and lightning storm covered the area, silver lightning and pillars of lightning.

Soon, it tore the spirit. The eighth-grade Sovereign had almost no power to resist under the combined attack of the doppelganger and the main body, and returned to the Lingjing.

The doppelganger Zhang Yuanqing once again kneaded a lightning spear and threw it out. A Nihilist, desperately fighting against the thunder storm with Electric Light Flash, was pierced through the chest by the lightning spear. The Nihilist's body quickly carbonized, and his primordial spirit left his body.

The doppelganger's body, which threw the lightning spear, quickly carbonized and collapsed, returning to the Yata Mirror without even a last word. The time for the set had just ended.

He forcibly condensed the power of lightning to form a spear, solving a Nihilist for his master. He himself was killed by the backlash of lightning.

Zhang Yuanqing didn't immediately collect the Thunder God set. A miniature sun rose from the back of his head, and a blazing sun mark appeared on his brow, like a golden war god, flying towards the last Nihilist.

Zhang Yuanqing's eye sockets turned black, swallowing the two primordial spirits who were trying to escape.

He turned to look at another battlefield. Fu Qingyang had beheaded the last tainted spirit, also a quick kill.

"Tsk, tainted spirits can also be refined into Yin corpses. The boss is really wasteful." Zhang Yuanqing felt a pang of heartache.

At this time, the ordinary people in the industrial park had already gathered here courageously. Their nature of being onlookers had overcome their fear of death, and they were trying to watch the gods fight. Zhang Yuanqing and Fu Qingyang looked at each other.

They came to the stunned Elder Dao Gaofeng and Elder Ganlu. The former smiled and said, "Is it time for the cowards' quilt defense?"

Elder Gaofeng was still immersed in shock and said in disbelief, "You, what kind of cheat did you use?"

Having witnessed the entire battle, he couldn't accept Yuanshi Tianzun's growth.

"Now I've really become the Celestial Lord. If I don't upgrade, I'll definitely use a cheat." Zhang Yuanqing said this in a joking, self-deprecating tone.

Fu Qingyang said, "There's still half an hour of quilt defense time. Cast an illusion on them. If they're filmed and posted online like this, the Five Elements Alliance can't afford to lose face."

Elder Gaofeng nodded repeatedly.

Elder Ganlu, who was not young but exceptionally beautiful, relaxed her expression slightly, "It's only fun to be shocked when you take pictures! Shocking!"

"A fierce battle took place in an industrial park in Hangzhou. The public took pictures of a man and a woman sleeping in the same quilt!"

Zhang Yuanqing only regretted that his mobile phone had been destroyed by the electromagnetic pulse in the battle just now.

Otherwise, he would definitely take pictures and post them on the forum. He created an illusion, hiding the traces of everyone, and at the same time guiding the emotions of the people in the park, creating fear and unease, so that they would not dare to approach here.

While waiting, Zhang Yuanqing said, "Boss, we came out of the ruins and returned fully loaded. I've collected the Thunder God set, and Singleton Knight and President got demigod-level items!"

He added in his heart that he believed Fu Qingyang could understand, after all, he and Fu Qingyang had discussed and studied the things in the Vatican treasury more than once.

Fu Qingyang took off his hood, put away the Golden Dragon Sword, and nodded, "Before entering the dungeon, leave a set component outside so that they won't be sealed. The four components have a set effect."

"It should be enough for you. Remember to refine the spirits of the two Nihilists into servant materials as soon as possible. If you don't have enough, ask me."

"A ninth-grade set will definitely be sealed and disassembled when entering the dungeon, which can avoid the seal of the Lingjing and retain part of the set's power."

Yuanshi currently has a Sovereign-level Yin corpse and three Sovereign-level spirit servants. Adding himself, an A-level dungeon should not be difficult for him.

There is joy and sourness in the boss's emotions. Hehe, he is envious of my adventure!

As soon as this thought popped into Zhang Yuanqing's mind, he saw Fu Qingyang's face sink. The two looked at each other and silently looked away, silently dispelling distractions.

After more than ten seconds, Fu Qingyang said in a deep voice, "I plan to enter the dungeon again and be promoted to ninth grade, without exception."

A Sovereign-level doppelganger is certainly powerful, but it cannot play a decisive role in the final battle. A ninth-grade Sovereign can tip the balance of the battle at a critical moment. The proud Qian Gongzi will not admit that he was stimulated by his confidant.

"Don't, boss, you have to do what you can. Banish distractions, banish distractions..." Zhang Yuanqing said worriedly, "However, the conflict between the two camps is becoming more and more intense. If you don't sit in Songhai, what if something similar to the knife happens again?"

Chuan Qingyang is now the number one expert in the official East China region. If another hunting Sovereign incident occurs, he will inevitably take the lead.

Chuan Qingyang said lightly, "I have my own way, but I need your cooperation."

He didn't say how to cooperate, but analyzed, "The White Tiger Soldiers' single-player dungeons are not enough for us. Go directly to the American God Association."

If I enter the gang dungeon of the American God Association now, I'm afraid I won't be able to withstand the waist strength... Zhang Yuanqing thought to himself.

The White Tiger Soldiers' dungeons are not enough for them. Elder Gaofeng and Elder Ganlu looked at each other and saw confusion in each other's eyes.

When did upgrading become so easy?

When can the gang dungeon be cleared whenever you want?

They realized that Fu Qingyang and Yuanshi Tianzun's strength had increased by leaps and bounds for only one reason: these two were imitating the marshal.

However, one is Qian Gongzi, who controls the power of rules in the Saint Realm, and the other is Yuanshi Tianzun, who is known to have the qualifications of a demigod. They are indeed qualified to imitate the marshal.
