The stone disc was like a giant maw of the abyss, frantically seizing and devouring spirit energy of the wind and thunder attributes. The spirit energy within the Thunder Pool rapidly diminished, and the scepter in Boreas's hand also cracked with a "ka-cha" sound, forming countless spider web-like fissures.
The Scarlet Sun Warden stared blankly at this scene, his expression astonished and sluggish.
Although he had some mental preparation after the Thunder Pool was contaminated, the development of the situation still left him in disbelief, caught off guard.
Wind and thunder are of the same origin?
Boreas was the mastermind behind the assassination of the Thunder God ten years ago?
Today, ten years later, Boreas is attacking the Thunder God again...
The Scarlet Sun Warden immediately bit his fingertip, touched his forehead, causing 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 whirlwind barrier set outside the Thunder Pool and immediately rolled back.
The Scarlet Sun Warden immediately dissipated the scorching rays, and a round of golden scorching sun emerged behind his head, slowly rising.
This is the core skill of a Level 7 Day Wanderer - Sunrise!
An upgraded version of Purification, when the scorching sun rises, all power that does not belong to the sun will be purified, including the spiritual power of other professions.
The golden brilliance reflected the entire spirit realm instance, dyeing everything, including the white clouds and sky, with golden light.
However, the whirlwind barrier surrounding the Thunder Pool remained intact, unaffected.
The gap in their levels was too great, exceeding the purification limit of the scorching sun.
The Scarlet Sun Warden then tried many other attack methods, none of which worked.
Physical attacks are ineffective, so try the Primordial Spirit domain! The Scarlet Sun Warden took out a yellow bronze mirror with a black handle from his inventory. The mirror was shrouded in Yin energy, and the surrounding temperature rapidly decreased, causing white frost to condense on the stone brick floor.
The sun mark on the Scarlet Sun Warden's forehead disappeared, and a dark crescent moon appeared, with dark, viscous energy gushing from his eye sockets.
He shone the mirror towards the "King of the Sky" Boreas and shouted:
"Boreas."
The golden-haired woman standing on the stone disc stiffened, her spirit body instantly being pulled out, but only halfway, the mirror's power was exhausted, and Boreas's spirit body returned to her flesh.
A sense of powerlessness rose in the Scarlet Sun Warden's heart. Although he was not a master of the Grand Yin, the level of a peak Overlord was there, and the mirror in his hand was even a rule-based item.
As long as one was reflected in the mirror, as long as one accurately shouted the other's name, even their spirit realm ID, they would definitely be "Soul Taken".
But the combination of a peak Overlord and a rule-based item still couldn't 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 interior of the stone disc, into the thunder and lightning runes. Boreas's Wind God Scepter crumbled and shattered, merging into the whirlwind incantation.
She did not feel any 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 and looked down at the Thunder Pool, letting out a high-pitched cry:
"Thunder God, let us become one!
"Let us recreate the glory of the Divine Master, let us... become the strongest in the spirit realm world."
At the bottom of the Thunder Pool, a dazzling ball of light rose gracefully into the sky, rushing into the vortex.
The Scarlet Sun Warden narrowed his eyes, vaguely seeing a burly male in the thunder ball whose eyes revealed both desire and extreme resistance.
The desire was due to the mutually attractive nature of wind and thunder attributes, while the resistance was because it was difficult for the Thunder God to become dominant after the fusion, given his current weakened state. He would most likely be making a wedding dress for the King of the Sky.
The thunder light sphere merged into the vortex, disappearing without a trace.
Boreas's body also collapsed in the next second, turning into a core of swirling cyan-blue airflow, merging into the vortex.
As the two demigods merged into the stone disc formation in an energy state, the two vortexes dissipated, the wind stopped, the thunder died down, and the world was quiet, leaving only the floating stone disc.
The Scarlet Sun Warden watched with a solemn expression. The fusion of the two great demigods was a foregone conclusion. He only hoped that a dual-profession demigod could truly be born in the Lawful Camp. Otherwise, the world's situation would undergo earth-shattering changes after today.
He felt a faint unease in his heart, not believing that Ling Tuo and the Evil Camp would help the Celestial Punishment give birth to a Wind and Thunder Divine Master.
But wind and thunder had indeed merged, which was a fixed fact.
As thoughts flashed through his mind, the Scarlet Sun Warden saw a small tornado rising from the surface of the stone disc, spinning and becoming increasingly swollen.
At the same time, bolts of lightning struck the center of the hurricane.
A figure was born amidst the strikes of lightning, embraced by the hurricane. She was naked, her skin as crystal-clear as jade, her waist, hips, and thighs with smooth curves.
She stepped on two miniature whirlwinds, and there was a bright blue lightning mark on her forehead. Her platinum blonde hair rose and swirled with electric arcs.
Her eyes were closed, her chin slightly raised, as if she was enjoying her new life and new authority.
At the moment of this Divine Master's birth, dark clouds churned in the sky, and a gale raged. Bolts of lightning streaked across the clouds, forming an apocalyptic backdrop.
The Scarlet Sun Warden's body trembled slightly, and his hands shook and spasmed like those of a Parkinson's patient.
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 without any protection.
The Divine Master hadn't even opened her eyes, yet the immense pressure had already made this peak Overlord feel fear from the bottom of his heart.
The Scarlet Sun Warden didn't even have the courage to offer up the sun.
This aura had already surpassed ordinary demigods.
Even when facing the Head of the Taiyi Sect, the Scarlet Sun Warden had never felt such fear, unless the Head deliberately released high-level power to suppress him.
The gale howled, and lightning flashed and thundered. The Wind and Thunder Divine Master standing on the stone disc opened her eyes.
Her left eye was bright blue, and her right eye was crystal clear. These heterochromatic eyes rolled and looked towards the only living being in the instance - the Scarlet Sun Warden.
Jing City, Siheyuan.
In a clean and tidy courtyard with planted locust trees and flower beds, the clear sky suddenly cracked open a deep, dark passage, and brilliant golden light swept out from the space channel.
It was the tall and sturdy Scarlet Sun Warden with silver hair like frost.
"Whoosh whoosh..."
A shrill whistling sound echoed from the space channel, and a strong wind poured into the courtyard. The Scarlet Sun Warden, who had just landed, was suddenly torn apart.
Disembowelment, dismemberment, decapitation... flesh and blood and warm organs fell to the ground with a "patter", emitting rising heat in the weather of late November.
"Boom boom boom!"
Deafening sounds echoed above the small courtyard, and twisted, flamboyant tree-like lightning bolts struck the Scarlet Sun Warden's corpse, carbonizing the flesh and blood, evaporating the blood.
The space channel quickly shrank and then disappeared.
The wind and lightning subsided, and the small courtyard returned to silence, leaving only the Scarlet Sun Warden's corpse (charred remains) and the burning locust tree.
Rays of starlight rose from within the courtyard, transforming into Elder Sun, Elder Red Tassel, Elder Zhao, and others. The elders of the Taiyi Sect arrived instantly.
When they saw the charred corpse pieces on the ground, the pupils of the Overlords suddenly contracted, almost unable to control their expressions.
"Grand, Grand Elder?" Elder Sun's eyes widened, and he walked quickly to the side of the corpse pieces, shouting with some emotional loss of control, "How could this be, how could this be..."
Elder Zhao, the strongest and highest-ranking, had dark, viscous energy appear in his eye sockets as he examined the Scarlet Sun Warden's corpse. After a few seconds, his face darkened:
"Annihilated in both body and spirit!"
Annihilated in both body and spirit! Elder Red Tassel and others looked at each other, speechless for a long time.
The courtyard was dead silent.
A peak Overlord, the strongest Day Wanderer in the world, had returned to the spirit realm like this?
Even this group of Overlords who were used to seeing big storms were somewhat at a loss at this moment, not knowing what to do.
After a brief silence, Elder Red Tassel said in a low voice:
"...I remember that the Celestial Punishment invited the Grand Elder to the Hua City headquarters to purify a Fallen."
Elder Zhao narrowed his eyes: "The thunder just now..."
A terrible, incomprehensible guess surged into everyone's hearts, and the small courtyard fell silent again.
"The Thunder God did it? Why would he kill the Grand Elder?" Elder Sun gritted his teeth and said, "Old Zhao, go and notify the Head of the Sect. If he's in the spirit realm, then notify the Five Elements Alliance and let the five Alliance Leaders question the Celestial Punishment. We must demand an explanation from the Celestial Punishment for this matter."
If the Scarlet Sun Warden died at the hands of the Thunder God, then the local Lawful organizations would definitely go to war with the Celestial Punishment.
But Elder Sun couldn't understand how the Thunder God could kill the Scarlet Sun Warden at this juncture when the Lawful and Evil Camps were fighting fiercely in New Covenant County?
It didn't make sense.
There must be something strange about this.
Elder Zhao nodded with a heavy face and was about to summon golden light to go to the Head's secluded place when he suddenly heard Elder Red Tassel say:
"Wait!"
Under the curious gazes of the crowd, she quickly walked past the charred corpse pieces and towards the flower bed in the corner of the courtyard, bending down to pick up a bronze mirror with a black wooden handle.
The Scarlet Sun Warden's Soul-Seizing Mirror!
In the blurred mirror, the figure of the Scarlet Sun Warden was reflected, his eyes hollow, standing blankly, like a newly deceased lonely ghost.
"The Grand Elder's Primordial Spirit is still there!" Elder Red Tassel said with joy.
The elders of the Taiyi Sect gathered around, and 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 the Grand Elder Scarlet Sun Warden had chosen to use the rule-based item to capture his own Primordial Spirit when he encountered a life-or-death crisis.
He had preserved himself in this way.
For a Night Wanderer, as long as the 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 Red Tassel opened her inventory, collected the wooden-handled bronze mirror, completed the recognition of ownership, and then, she took out the mirror and gently shook out the Primordial Spirit in the mirror.
Wisps of green smoke landed on the ground, transforming into the appearance of the Scarlet Sun Warden. Leaving the mirror, his hollow eyes regained their luster.
"Grand Elder, what did you encounter in the Celestial Punishment?" Elder Sun was impatient and couldn't wait to ask.
The elders all looked at the Grand Elder.
The Scarlet Sun Warden glanced solemnly over the crowd and said in a deep voice:
"The Wind and Thunder Twin Gods are crazy, the Celestial Punishment is finished!
"Immediately issue a red alert to all Lawful organizations, and prepare to welcome a demigod-level disaster."
A bolt from the blue!
