"Tsk, to cruelly murder and abuse so many people just for such a small bead. The people here are truly too selfish.
This sort of evil object should be destroyed as soon as possible, lest it harm others again."
After Xi Ren Yuan Jun finished speaking, a strand of Netherworld Cold Fire condensed in her hand, about to destroy the formation and the bead.
Suddenly, a slender jade leg appeared beside her, and a foot clad in a delicate embroidered shoe kicked her, sending her flying.
"Buo Shi Huo Qing Wu, are you mad? Are you looking for a fight with me!"
Xi Ren Yuan Jun was furious. She stood up, rolled up her sleeves, and pointed at Qing Wu like a shrew, completely disregarding her image.
"Hmph, in this team, you and I are the weakest. Since you can't bully others, you want to bully me, right? I'm not someone to be trifled with either. Today, I will teach you a good lesson!"
Yuan Jun and Qing Wu were old rivals, often arguing at the slightest disagreement, and sometimes even resorting to blows.
Huo Feng was already accustomed to this, usually just watching the show.
"Hmph, you're just jealous of me. After arriving in the Immortal Realm, Huo Feng became an immortal first, and now I have the chance to become an immortal too. You're unbalanced and want to ruin my opportunity. I'm telling you, Xi Ren Yuan Jun, if you dare to destroy it, I will tear you to pieces."
"Tch, an immortal from a mere broken bead? You're dreaming yourself silly. If the opportunity to become an immortal were that easy, there would be immortals everywhere."
Yuan Jun retorted.
"Hmph, this bead was forged by that Immeasurable Realm expert, concentrating his lifelong efforts. It contains the complete dao of Heart Fire. If I take it to comprehend, I will surely be able to reach the Immortal Realm quickly. Then you'll be left behind by yourself, you useless piece of trash, the most useless person in the entire team!"
"Buo Shi Huo Qing Wu! You dare to call me trash? I'll fight you to the death!"
"Fight if you want, I'm afraid of you?"
The two women, one condensing Netherworld Cold Fire and the other Heart Fire, were on the verge of a fierce battle.
Huo Feng, seeing this, quickly tried to mediate.
"Oh, when will the two of you ever stop? We traveled together from the Sacred Fire Realm to the Thunder Wind Realm, and from the Thunder Wind Realm to the Immortal Realm. We've fought side by side for so long. Don't you have any camaraderie at all?
We are all on the same side. Now that Qing Wu has found her opportunity, Yuan Jun, you won't be far behind. Let's take turns, help each other, and no one will be left behind."
"You don't need to interfere. Today, I will tear this little slut's mouth apart!"
"You slut, I've wanted to beat you up for a long time!"
Watching the two women wrestle, Huo Feng felt that separating them would be a significant challenge.
...
Coincidentally, on the other side, Wan Lei and his companions encountered a problem.
They had killed all the Immortal Realm powerhouses but were stumped by those mortal realm ants.
This sect had tens of thousands of people. A small half of them were handyman servants, responsible for training and guarding the captured individuals and serving the Immortal Realm powerhouses. The remaining larger half were all hostages who had been captured.
Now, they had truly become hostages.
Those captured individuals had their cultivation sealed and were used as cauldrons. Faced with the threats from the servant杂役, they were powerless to resist.
The tens of thousands of servants each held one or more hostages, looking fearfully at Wan Lei and his group. Not a single one dared to speak, afraid of provoking them, but their actions conveyed their intent.
If you kill us, we will kill all these hostages, and we'll all perish together.
Wan Lei and the others gathered.
"What do we do?"
"What can we do? These people can't be let go. Just kill them."
The simple-minded,憨憨 God Race suggested.
"Are you crazy? We can't kill all the enemies instantly while also ensuring the hostages' safety.
As soon as we start killing, the other criminals will definitely kill the hostages. They want us to be afraid to act."
Wan Qian Xin frowned, racking his brain for a solution as he spoke.
Fang Xiao Yu's delicate eyebrows were tightly knitted, forming a knot.
"This is a dead end. If we want to kill all the enemies, the casualties of the hostages are unavoidable."
"But our original intention was to rescue these hostages. We can't kill all the hostages before forcing the criminals to surrender, can we?"
Xia Yu Bing retorted.
"It's to kill all the criminals and rescue the hostages, not to kill all the hostages to rescue the criminals!"
Han Xiao Yun habitually argued with Xia Yu Bing.
Seeing the group on the verge of an argument, Wan Lei took a deep breath and said with determination,
"Leave it to me. I will kill the criminals and rescue the hostages."
"Do you have a way to kill all the enemies instantly without harming the hostages? To precisely control tens of thousands of attacks, hitting the enemies without causing collateral damage.
This is not something that an Immortal Realm cultivator's primordial spirit and brain can control. It requires at least a Saint, who possesses a certain authority over the Heavenly Dao, is favored by the Heavenly Dao, and has a powerful primordial spirit..."
Wan Qian Xin mumbled, but before he could finish, Wan Lei transformed into a bolt of lightning and vanished from his spot.
Wan Lei flew into the thunderclouds above, releasing the Heavenly Dao Lightning within his body. Amplified by his internal lightning power and the lightning in the thunderclouds, it transformed into a sea of lightning, hidden above the thunderclouds.
Then, Wan Lei, who had become the sea of lightning, merged his mind with the Heavenly Dao Lightning, communicating with the authority of the Heavenly Dao.
A quarter of an hour later, Wan Lei finally managed to draw down a sliver of Heavenly Dao power. At this moment, he felt as if he had become the will of the universe and the heavens, capable of controlling the fate of all beings with a single thought.
Wan Lei was somewhat puzzled. When he was in the Thunder Wind Realm, it was difficult for him to communicate with the Heavenly Dao's will, as the Heavenly Dao of the Thunder Wind Realm, that 'stinky bitch', was not in sync with him, and he could only forcibly control the Heavenly Tribulation.
How could he communicate with the Heavenly Dao's power in the Immortal Realm?
Despite not understanding, it did not hinder Wan Lei's actions.
Wan Lei's will locked onto the enemies below, one by one. This was the authority of the Heavenly Dao, allowing for precise targeting during the descent of Immortal Tribulation or Heavenly Tribulation, without the slightest error.
With tens of thousands of enemies, Wan Lei quickly locked onto all of them.
Then, under the astonished gazes of those below, from within the thunderclouds in the sky, there was a rumble, and tens of thousands of tiny bolts of lightning descended simultaneously, striking each locked-on criminal.
The lightning was extremely fast. Those locked by the Heavenly Dao could not escape. As the tiny lightning bolts penetrated the heavenly spirits of each criminal, they also directly destroyed their brains and souls.
In an instant, in the blink of an eye, the tens of thousands of criminals froze in expression, falling to the ground motionless.
"Success! How did he do it?!"
The four youngsters were exhilarated. Even the most steady Wan Qian Xin cheered.
"Have you forgotten? He can control Immortal Tribulation, so he can surely unleash lightning tribulations to strike down the enemies, right?"
Han Xiao Yun thought she had figured it all out.
