Chapter 41: Breaking Through Once Again

  The strong wind swayed, the withered branches trembled violently, and the city of Qing Shan was filled with a bloody smell everywhere. Blood flowed like rivers, corpses piled up like mountains, and were completely buried by the heavy snow.

  Everyone in Qingyang City was shocked and thrilled, the ruler who had oppressed Qingyang City for thousands of years was overthrown at once, not a single chicken or dog was left, even their headquarters were razed to the ground.

  Four powerful cultivators slaughtered all enemies like rotten wood, their bodies bathed in blood, and their bloody clothes were solidified.

  A suffocating aura spread out, shrouding the sky and earth. Yun Yifei felt an inexplicable pressure, a harbinger of the impending storm.

  "Zi Yue, I'm going to retreat for a month, and during this month, you're not allowed to go anywhere! Especially the Night House, do you understand?" Yun Xie Jian said in a low voice, gazing into the pitch-black void.

  "Uh-huh, I'll go down to eat and then come back up." The obedient Night Purple Moon evoked sympathy from everyone, and Yun Yijian felt much more at ease as soon as he saw her expression.

  The pulse wraps around half of the sacred medicine, not allowing a single thread of medicinal properties to be lost. The dragon flame sacred medicine only has one root left, but its internal power is enough to be described as overwhelming.

  The root snapped, a drop of essence dripped out, but was swallowed by the Cloud Devouring Sword in mid-air. Instantly, a red glow filled his face, and his veins were filled with energy.

  His whole body shone with treasures, purple energy arrived from the east, his dantian exploded, and he was shocked to become a heavenly being.

  The body becomes transparent, strange phenomena emerge, a mysterious shadow appears behind, hands cover the sky, shattering the heavens, all heavens and ten thousand paths surrender, the Great Way thunders, white phoenix rises to heaven, true dragon's virtual image appears.

  Ye Zi Yue's eyes widened, she had never seen such a strange phenomenon before. Even the strongest warriors couldn't trigger the Thunder Tribulation even when their meridians merged as one, yet Yun Yi Jian actually appeared with this anomaly.

  The void body bursts out, the sky moves, the accumulated clouds appear, a piece of blackness presses down, suppressing Qing Shan City. Lightning flashes and thunder rumbles, the shadow flickers.

  Rumble... rumble... rumble...

  Lightning flashed across the sky, tearing through the desolate mountains, shaking the earth, and causing the forest to erupt in a blaze of flames that reached the heavens, while snowflakes vanished into nothingness.

  The people of Qing Shan Lake are in a state of panic and dare not stick their heads out to take a look.

  During this period of time, people in Qing Shan City seemed to be accustomed to hiding at home, whether they were cultivators or ordinary people, and they all had a fearful mentality towards the streets.

  The streets are empty and desolate, with only a few ordinary people selling food on the side of the road to make a living.

  Ke Zhan stood in the courtyard at night, gazing up at the empty sky, holding Yunxie Sword, her state of mind suddenly became ethereal and empty, her whole person becoming vague and illusory, like a fairy.

  ………。

  Cultivation goes against heaven, yet still reveres the vast heavens. As long as one cultivates, almost everyone cannot escape this barrier.

  Yun Yijian seemed to have a reaction, and the Void Battle Qi was retracted, as if it were an ordinary person in deep sleep, withered and rotten.

  A large amount of precious medicine was being consumed, and the remaining half of the precious herb was only left with half. Yun Yijian's aura became even more illusory, and although he was sitting right in front of her, Yeziyue couldn't feel his presence.

  The tides rise and fall, the sun sets in the west, rises again, time keeps flowing away.

  It was already more than half a month, and Yun Yijian's small meridian gate was opened again. Sixteen small meridians burst forth, coordinating with the four main meridians, possessing the power to seize the heavens. The radiant light of the sun flashed across the earth, and his eyes snapped open, directly tearing through the void, piercing all things, and shooting straight into the void.

  "This fusion of meridians has merged with the body!" Feeling the clarity of the meridians, Yun Yijian let out a relaxed sigh, and a low voice came through.

  "Zi Yue, has anything big happened recently?" Yun Yijian raised his head, and the atmosphere changed once again.

  "There's nothing going on, it's just that the city is like a dead city now, and I find it very uncomfortable to look at!" Yeziyue said with a sorrowful expression.

  "Heaven has no mercy on people who have no self-pity; the Tao is not in one's heart if one's heart is not at peace!"

  The voice seemed not to come from Yun Yijian's mouth, but from the ground, full of majesty, surging in all directions and swirling inside the inn.

  "What does it mean?" Zi Yue's clear eyes became perplexed, and she asked with a curious face.

  "The heavens are gone, and it's impossible to pity the living. One must rely on oneself!" Yun Yijian slowly opened his eyes and said in a low voice, "In the past, I always thought that the Great Emperor was a butcher who verified the Tao, but now I realize that they are not verifying the Tao at all, but rather opening up their own path! Each person's path is different, so why bother constantly thinking about verifying the Tao?"

  The way is not for proving, proving the way is ultimately someone else's way, only the way that opens up is one's own way!

  At this moment, thunder rumbled, cold winds howled, the dragon of lightning shattered the void, shattering the earth, the vast land sank and floated, wherever it went, everything turned into nothingness, the mountains and trees were reduced to dust.

  One mountain after another was destroyed, and Qing Shan Lake had nothing but thunder and lightning and cold wind, with no other sounds.

  Qing Shan Lake formed a massive whirlpool, stirring up giant waves for thousands of miles, pounding the sky with thunderous crashes.

  Yun Yijian's eyes turned into sharp swords, and he slowly stood up, his figure becoming majestic and towering, giving people a sense of not daring to offend him.

  Ye Zi Yue was thoroughly stunned at this moment, her eyes filled with daze, and for a while she didn't know what to do.

  "Stay here, I will return in three days!"

  Yun Yijian's words had just fallen when he vanished from her sight.

  Outside the green mountain, by the lake's edge, Yun Yi Jian's tall and straight figure stood on the lake's surface, his windbreaker was blown by the strong gusts of wind making a rustling sound, his long hair scattered, drifting with the wind.

  With a bony sword in hand, I gaze proudly at the void, quietly watching the movement of the vast sky, the void is chaotic.

  Whoosh...

  Another thick and large lightning bolt cut through the void, illuminating the sky. The void was filled with thick black clouds at its end, as if to destroy this world.

  Seisan Sōnai, an old man suddenly opened his eyes, piercing through the void, gazing at the thick clouds, and his heart was trembling with fear.

  "I haven't even prepared for the sect's destruction, why has this calamity formed? Could it be that someone has taken a step ahead of me?"

  A small path on the mountain peak, tree shadows swaying, strong winds howling, an old man holds his breath, expands his consciousness, almost enveloping this green mountain and lake.

  "It was him, who condensed the pulse to its peak. Even if he broke through to the unity of body and pulse, he shouldn't have such great prestige!" An old man's divine consciousness appeared with a young man like a demon god, his heart full of shock and disbelief.

  Yun Yijian's long sword pointed to the sky, glaring at the vast heavens, as if this heavenly punishment was going to follow him for his entire life. Just when he had just opened his veins and it followed him, now it has formed once again, seemingly with even greater power, leaving people in despair.

  The pulse gate opens, and a huge sun forms all over the body, against the accumulated clouds. As soon as the body moves, it brings the movement of the void, and there is a hint of reincarnation.

  "Frightening! This child is going to defy the heavens, and with just a glimpse of insight, he's already grasped the embryonic forms of two great paths. If he's allowed to fully master them, I'm afraid only a Sect Master would be able to defeat him!" The old man's face revealed a hint of ferocity, for an existence like this was already threatening his rule over Qing Shan Lake.

  The old man is naturally the controller of Qing Shan Hu, Ji Wu Tian, the grandfather of Ji Yao Yue, a super strong ruler who has ruled Qing Shan Hu for hundreds of years.

  At this moment, above Qing Shan Lake, the clouds were getting thicker and thicker, the heavenly might was rolling, the sound of thunder was loud and powerful, as if it was about to unleash a devastating blow that would destroy heaven and earth.

  Yun Yijian's Void Body burst forth, resonating with the stars across the vast expanse of space, emitting dazzling brilliance that pierced through the sealed clouds.

  Rumble...

  The first calamity of thunderbolt appeared without warning, tearing through the sky and earth, like a divine dragon soaring in the heavens, shaking the vast land.

  "Cultivate your body and refine your physique! The first tribulation of thunder is upon you, let's see how powerful you are!"

  Yun Yijian did not dodge, nor did he form a protective aura, but instead allowed the void battle energy and pulse to envelop the major meridians and vital organs that could be fatal, letting the floodwaters surge into the sky and lightning strike his body.

  Whoosh...

  Lightning flashed into his body, Yun Yijian's sword trembled violently, and he became completely transparent. His long hair stood on end, and his clothes turned to dust.

  Lightning destroyed every piece of flesh and blood, dyeing Qing Shan Hu red.

  The void war gas quickly repairs the flesh, forming an even more terrifying and powerful body.

  The second bolt of lightning came again, bringing a devastating blow to the heavens and earth, taking away a large number of aquatic creatures. Yun Yijian swung his fist out, shattering the thunderbolt, but his arm suffered a powerful backlash, leaving it white and skeletal.

  "Hmph, even Heaven can't stop me, let alone this tribulation of thunder!"

  Yun Yijian coldly smiled, his vital energy filling his entire body, repairing his injuries, quietly waiting for the thunder tribulation to strike again. This time, he wanted to make his physical body grow to an indestructible degree, making every inch of his flesh transform into a divine weapon.

  Ji Wutian watched Yun Yijian's terrifying tribulation method, his Dao heart was greatly shocked, his fingertips slightly moved, gazing at the void, as if he had made a huge decision, his body's veins were filled with energy, like a fierce tiger out of its cage, ready to strike at any moment.
