Chapter 453: Terrifying Thunder

The Darkness Origin was in high spirits.

Mountains and rivers entwined, seemingly no way out; the willows dark and flowers bright, a new village appeared.

The Darkness Origin had thought that Lu Ye wouldn’t come back after killing Lin Wuye, but to its surprise, he came back.

Good good good!

The Darkness Origin was actually a bit hesitant; should it slyly ask if it could throw in its lot with Lu Ye?

Uh, just asking.

No other intentions.

The Darkness Origin estimated that it probably wouldn’t work.

Besides, it wasn’t particularly keen on it; after all, it was the Darkness Origin. Although it couldn’t compete with the Heavenly Dao, it had accumulated strength over a long time, just a notch below the Heavenly Dao.

In its last life, Lu Ye had already reached the Celestial Lord Realm and had attempted to destroy it completely multiple times without success.

Lu Ye and the Heavenly Dao were likely in a relationship of equal partnership; if it aligned with Lu Ye, it would surely be lower than the Heavenly Dao.

Plus, there was the key issue that if it joined Lu Ye, there would be no room for development!

At this point, wanting to advance further for it meant aiming to become the Heavenly Dao.

Surely Lu Ye wouldn’t let it replace the Heavenly Dao, right?

Let me just ask first.

As for being split by the Heavenly Dao?

After what Lin Wuye said, the Darkness Origin felt indifferent. How much could it be split?

Soon, Lu Ye’s figure appeared before the Darkness Origin.

“Lu Ye!”

The Darkness Origin emitted a voice that was hard to distinguish in gender, unsure where it came from.

Lu Ye had already raised his fist.

“What’s up? You wanna hit me with your Celestial Lord Fist?” The Darkness Origin couldn’t help but laugh.

The Celestial Lord Fist was indeed powerful, but that was under Lu Ye’s peak condition, not the current one.

Lu Ye and the Darkness Origin had no desire for communication at all.

In the Void, infinite spiritual energy surged violently.

All things resonated at that moment.

“Useless, useless!”

The Darkness Origin found it amusing.

Even if this Celestial Lord Fist was the strongest, so what?

Compared to it, it was like a drop in the ocean.

Could a firefly even compete with the bright moon?

“Oh really?”

The Darkness Origin answered affirmatively.

“Yes!”

At this moment, Lu Ye truly pushed the Celestial Lord Fist to its limit, all thanks to the opportunity provided by the Darkness Origin.

One punch!

“Boom!”

The instant this punch was thrown,

the power of the Heavenly Dao erupted.

A tremendous thunderclap echoed through the Nine Heavens.

How loud was it?

Nearly everyone in closed-door cultivation across the Nine Heavens suddenly opened their eyes, startled to the core.

The immense sound rumbled throughout the entire Nine Heavens.

Black thunderbolts surged like wild beasts, bursting forth from the Void.

In that moment, countless vein-like structures appeared in the Nine Heavens, densely woven like a spider’s web, enveloping the entire domain.

This was the law left behind by the Great Sage of the Nine Heavens, the foundation of existence throughout the Nine Heavens; this attack directly shook that foundation into view.

The nine Great Sages of the Nine Heavens awoke, their gazes fixed on the black thunder.

The black thunder surged into Lu Ye, merging with his punch.

Therefore, the imprint from this punch appeared black and capable of swallowing everything.

The human path controlled the heavenly path.

At that instant, the Darkness Origin trembled violently, even the ancient relics within it opened their eyes, shocked as they looked at Lu Ye’s punch.

Someone immediately unleashed divine powers within the Darkness Origin.

Vast amounts of darkness gathered before the Darkness Origin, forming a pure black shield, its surface adorned with numerous bizarre images, depicting faces steeped in ultimate darkness.

Twisted, unsettling!

The punch struck with tremendous force.

“Boom!”

The shield and punch clashed violently.

The entire Sixth Heaven’s spiritual energy began to fluctuate intensely.

Layers of ripples formed a terrifying whirlwind, threatening to obliterate everything in existence.

The nine Great Sages of the Nine Heavens instantly merged into one!

They reached out their hands; a massive force erupted, creating a gigantic light curtain that enveloped both Lu Ye and the Darkness Origin.

The ripples from this collision were too terrifying.

If they spread out, they could easily destroy the entire Sixth Heaven.

This was no exaggeration; because Lu Ye’s punch actually enveloped the Heavenly Dao’s tribulation power, its might had risen infinitely, likely reaching the full power of a Celestial Lord’s strike.

The Darkness Origin’s full defense had also reached Celestial Lord level.

But the Darkness Origin forgot.

The moment Lu Ye’s punch used up the human path power on its surface, it was the perfect moment for the tribulation thunder to erupt.

And the tribulation thunder specialized in countering the Darkness Origin!

“Boom!”

The black thunder exploded, instantly shattering that black shield, the tribulation thunder surged into the depths of the Darkness Origin.

Defensive barriers appeared within the Darkness Origin.

But they were powerless to stop it, utterly incapable of obstruction.

And then, screams echoed.

Originally pure black, a glimmer of light appeared at that moment.

This was because the tribulation thunder had directly punched through the Darkness Origin.

The Darkness Origin shrank violently.

Countless piercing screams rang out; they were from the powerful beings parasitizing within the Darkness Origin, as well as the Darkness Origin itself.

A large amount of Darkness Origin power was evaporated by the tribulation thunder.

This attack had escalated beyond its previous petty skirmishes.

Just this one strike caused the Darkness Origin to shrink by one percent as it hurried to patch the void.

What did this mean?

The Darkness Origin was born in a very ancient era.

It had no idea how many years of energy it had accumulated quietly.

It could be a million years, or ten million years; the Darkness Origin itself had no clue.

And now, no matter how many years of energy it had stored, this strike took away one percent directly.

Keep in mind, the power of the tribulation thunder was the very force the Heavenly Dao could command, which would increase alongside Lu Ye’s strength. Now, Lu Ye was merely at the Nine Extremities Realm. If he reached the Void Realm, the Great Dao Realm, ascended to the Great Emperor, or the Celestial Lord, what kind of power would such an attack yield?

Unthinkable!

Completely unthinkable!

The Darkness Origin went mad.

The black mist shrank violently.

It wanted to flee; this strike had inflicted too much damage on the Darkness Origin, turning years of accumulation into nothingness.

Lu Ye, of course, didn’t want the Darkness Origin to escape. The Stone Sword emerged, and a rare amount of True Essence suddenly burst into unmatched sword energy.

“Boom!”

Yet another tribulation thunder struck.

But just when Lu Ye stepped into the Sea of Forgetfulness, the entire Sea of Forgetfulness violently collapsed.

Not a collapse, but a shrink.

Lu Ye didn’t care, swinging his sword once more, aiming the black tribulation thunder at the Darkness Origin!
