Chapter 124 Earth-Shattering Change
The stone plate was like the gaping maw of an abyss, frantically seizing and devouring the spiritual power of the wind and thunder attributes. The spiritual power within the thunder pool rapidly diminished, and the scepter in Boreas's hand also cracked, countless spider web-like fissures appearing.
The Red Sun Punisher stared blankly at this scene, his expression astonished and sluggish.
Although he was somewhat mentally prepared after the thunder pool was polluted, the development of the situation was still unbelievable and caught him off guard.
Wind and thunder shared the same origin?
Boreas was the mastermind behind the assassination of the Thunder God ten years ago?
Ten years later, Boreas attacked the Thunder God again.
The Red Sun Punisher immediately bit his fingertip, touched his forehead, and caused the sun mark there to erupt with light, spewing out magma-like scorching rays, targeting the contemporary King of the Sky.
The magma-like scorching rays touched the gale barrier set outside the thunder pool and immediately rolled back.
The Red Sun Punisher immediately dispersed the scorching rays, and a golden blazing sun appeared behind his head, slowly rising.
This was the core skill of a level seven Day Wanderer – Sunrise!
An upgraded version of Purification. When the blazing sun rises, all forces that do not belong to the sun will be purified, including the spiritual power of other professions.
The golden brilliance illuminated the entire Lingjing Xingzhe instance, dyeing everything, including the white clouds and sky, with a golden light.
However, the gale barrier surrounding the thunder pool remained intact, unaffected.
The difference in level between the two sides was too great, exceeding the purification limit of the blazing sun.
The Red Sun Punisher then tried many other attack methods, but none of them worked.
Physical attacks were ineffective, so he tried the Yuanshen (primordial spirit) domain! The Red Sun Punisher took out a bronze mirror with a black handle from his inventory. The mirror was shrouded in Yin energy, and the surrounding temperature rapidly dropped, with white frost condensing on the stone-paved ground.
The sun mark on the Red Sun Punisher's forehead disappeared, and a black crescent moon emerged, with black, viscous energy gushing from his eye sockets.
He pointed the mirror at Boreas, the "King of the Sky," and shouted:
"Boreas."
The golden-haired woman standing on the stone plate stiffened, and her spirit body was instantly pulled out, but only halfway. The power of the mirror was exhausted, and Boreas's spirit body returned to her physical body.
The Red Sun Punisher felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart. Although he was not a master who primarily cultivated Taiyin (yin energy), his position as a peak master was undeniable, and the mirror in his hand was a rules-based item.
As long as he was reflected in the mirror, as long as he accurately called out the other person's name, even their Lingjing Xingzhe ID, they would definitely be "soul-captured."
But the combination of a peak master and a rules-based item still could not truly threaten the King of the Sky.
At this time, the power of the thunder pool had been completely absorbed. Plasma and dark clouds merged into the inside of the stone plate, into the thunder and lightning runes, while the Wind God Scepter in Boreas's hand weathered and shattered, merging into the gale spell.
She did not feel the slightest regret for the shattering of the demigod-level item that had accompanied her for many years. Instead, she felt a sense of accomplishment and joy. She lowered her head to overlook the thunder pool and issued a high-pitched shout:
"Thunder God, let us become one!
"Let us recreate the glory of the God Lord, let us...become the strongest in the Lingjing Xingzhe world."
At the bottom of the thunder pool, a dazzling ball of light rose gracefully into the sky and plunged into the vortex.
The Red Sun Punisher narrowed his eyes and vaguely saw a burly male in the thunder ball, his eyes filled with desire and his expression extremely resistant.
The desire was due to the mutually attractive characteristics of the wind and thunder attributes, while the resistance was because, with the Thunder God's current weak state, it would be difficult to take the lead after the fusion. In all likelihood, he would become a wedding dress for the King of the Sky.
The ball of thunder light merged into the vortex and dissipated without a trace.
Boreas's body also collapsed in the next second, turning into a core of cyan-blue airflow, merging into the vortex.
As the two demigods merged into the stone plate formation in an energy state, the two vortices disappeared. The wind stopped, the thunder extinguished, and the world was silent, leaving only the floating stone plate.
The Red Sun Punisher watched with a solemn expression. The fusion of the two great demigods was a foregone conclusion. He only hoped that the orderly camp could truly give birth to a dual-profession demigod. Otherwise, after today, the world格局 (pattern) would undergo earth-shattering changes.
He felt a faint sense of unease in his heart, not believing that Ling Tuo and the evil camp would help Tian Fa (Heavenly Punishment) give birth to a Wind and Thunder God Lord.
But wind and thunder had indeed merged. This was an established fact.
As his thoughts flashed, the Red Sun Punisher saw a small tornado rising from the surface of the stone plate, spinning and becoming increasingly bloated.
At the same time, bolts of lightning struck the center of the hurricane.
A figure was born in the midst of the lightning strikes, in the embrace of the hurricane. She was completely naked, her skin as crystal clear as jade, her waist, hips, and thighs flowing smoothly.
She stepped on two miniature whirlwinds, and a bright blue lightning mark was on her forehead. Her platinum-blonde hair fluttered, entwined with electric arcs.
Her eyes were closed, and she raised her chin slightly, as if enjoying her new life, her new authority.
At the moment of this God Lord's birth, dark clouds churned in the sky, a gale rose, and bolts of lightning streaked across the clouds, forming an apocalyptic backdrop.
The Red Sun Punisher's body trembled slightly, and his hands spasmed like a patient with Parkinson's disease.
He felt extreme fear, a fear that came from his soul, from his heart, like a human encountering a tiger in the wilderness, climbing a steep cliff in a defenseless state.
The God Lord had not even opened her eyes, and the immense pressure had already caused this peak master to feel fear from the bottom of his heart.
The Red Sun Punisher did not even have the courage to offer the sun.
This aura had already surpassed that of ordinary demigods.
Even when facing the Taiyi Sect Master, the Red Sun Punisher had never felt such fear, unless the Sect Master deliberately released a high-level force to suppress him.
The gale howled, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled, and the Wind and Thunder God Lord standing on the stone plate opened her eyes.
Her left eye was bright blue, and her right eye was glazed and transparent. These heterochromatic eyes swirled and looked towards the only living being in the instance—the Red Sun Punisher.
Beijing, Siheyuan (courtyard house).
In the clean and tidy courtyard planted with locust trees and flowerbeds, a deep and dark channel suddenly cracked open in the clear sky, and a brilliant golden light swept out of the space channel.
It was the tall and stalwart Red Sun Punisher with silver hair like frost.
"Whoosh whoosh..."
A shrill whistling sound echoed in the space channel, and a strong wind poured into the courtyard. The Red Sun Punisher, who had just landed, was suddenly torn apart.
Waist-severed, dismembered, beheaded... Flesh and blood and warm organs landed with a "splatter," emitting a plume of heat in the late November weather.
"Boom boom boom!"
The deafening sound echoed over the small courtyard, and twisted and flamboyant tree-like lightning bolts struck the Red Sun Punisher's corpse, carbonizing the flesh and blood and evaporating the blood.
The space channel quickly shrank and then disappeared.
The gale and lightning subsided, and the small courtyard returned to silence, leaving only the Red Sun Punisher's corpse (charred) and the blazing locust tree.
Streaks of starlight rose from the courtyard, transforming into Elder Sun, Elder Hongying, Elder Zhao, and others. The Taiyi Sect elders arrived in an instant.
When they saw the charred corpse on the ground, the pupils of the masters suddenly contracted, and they almost lost control of their expressions.
"Grand, Grand Elder?" Elder Sun's eyes widened, and he walked quickly to the side of the corpse, calling out with some emotional loss of control: "How could this be, how could this be..."
Elder Zhao, the strongest and highest-ranking elder, had black, viscous energy in his eyes as he examined the Red Sun Punisher's corpse. After a few seconds, his face sank:
"Annihilated in both body and spirit!"
Annihilated in both body and spirit? Elder Hongying and the others exchanged glances, and no one spoke for a long time.
The courtyard was silent.
A peak master, the strongest Day Wanderer in the world, had returned to Lingjing Xingzhe just like that?
Even they, a group of masters who had seen great storms, were somewhat at a loss at this moment, not knowing what to do.
After a brief silence, Elder Hongying said in a low voice:
"...I remember that Tian Fa (Heavenly Punishment) invited the Grand Elder to the Huacheng headquarters to purify a fallen one for them."
Elder Zhao narrowed his eyes: "The thunder just now..."
A terrible and incomprehensible guess surged into everyone's hearts, and the small courtyard fell silent again.
"Was it done by the Thunder God? Why would he kill the Grand Elder?" Elder Sun gritted his teeth and said, "Old Zhao, go and inform the Sect Master. If he is in Lingjing Xingzhe, you can notify the Five Elements Alliance and let the five leaders question Tian Fa (Heavenly Punishment). We must ask Tian Fa (Heavenly Punishment) for an explanation for this matter."
If the Red Sun Punisher died at the hands of the Thunder God, then the local orderly organization would definitely go to war with Tian Fa (Heavenly Punishment).
But Elder Sun couldn't understand how the Thunder God could kill the Red Sun Punisher at this juncture when the orderly and evil camps were in a bloody battle in New Covenant County.
It didn't make sense.
There must be something fishy about this.
Elder Zhao nodded with a sullen face and was about to drive up the golden light and go to the place where the Sect Master was in seclusion when he suddenly heard Elder Hongying say:
"Wait!"
In the curious gazes of everyone, she quickly bypassed the charred corpse and walked to the flowerbed in the corner of the courtyard, bending down to pick up a bronze mirror with a black wooden handle.
The Red Sun Punisher's Soul-Seizing Mirror!
In the blurred mirror, the Red Sun Punisher's figure was reflected. His eyes were hollow, and he stood blankly, like a newly dead lonely ghost.
"The Grand Elder's Yuanshen (primordial spirit) is still there!" Elder Hongying said happily.
The Taiyi Sect elders gathered around one after another. Seeing the Grand Elder in the mirror, their tense expressions and heartstrings finally relaxed, and they breathed a sigh of relief in unison.
Although they didn't know the situation, they could imagine that when the Grand Elder Red Sun Punisher encountered a life-and-death crisis, he chose to use a rules-based item to seize his own Yuanshen (primordial spirit).
He preserved himself in this way.
For the Night Wanderer, as long as the Yuanshen (primordial spirit) is not destroyed, they can be resurrected. The physical body doesn't matter. After all, there are demigods of the musician profession who can reshape the physical body. Even if the physical body cannot be reshaped, the Night Wanderer can exist in the world forever.
Elder Hongying opened her inventory, collected the wooden-handled bronze mirror, completed the recognition of the owner, and immediately, she took out the mirror and gently shook out the Yuanshen (primordial spirit) in the mirror.
A wisp of green smoke fell to the ground and turned into the appearance of the Red Sun Punisher. Leaving the mirror, his hollow eyes regained their radiance.
"Grand Elder, what did you encounter in Tian Fa (Heavenly Punishment)?" Elder Sun was impatient and couldn't wait to ask.
The elders all looked at the Grand Elder.
The Red Sun Punisher's eyes swept over everyone with a solemn gaze, and he said in a deep voice:
"The Wind and Thunder Gods are mad, Tian Fa (Heavenly Punishment) is finished!
"Immediately issue a red alert to all orderly organizations and prepare to welcome a demigod-level disaster."
A bolt from the blue!
