The sll of blood filled the air as Wang Xiaoqiang felt himself swallowed into a small, bloody space. He knew he was inside the belly of the Dharma Beast, making him nauseous.
Fortunately, he was in the Undying Golden Body - Great Completion Realm, which ant the Dharma Beast couldn't crush and digest him completely. Wang Xiaoqiang opened his Heaven-Opening Eye for a scan and discovered the Circular Magic Treasure was right inside the creature's belly.
Elated, Wang Xiaoqiang reached out to grab it and tossed it into his Storage Ring. Then he looked upwards and, through the body of the beast, saw that the Lightning Storm in the sky had already been unleashed.
The Dharma Beast was struggling to escape toward the Underground Ancient City,
Not realizing that Wang Xiaoqiang was a Body Refining Master with an incredibly heavy body, the beast couldn't crush or digest him quickly. As a result, its belly beca distended, especially with Wang Xiaoqiang constantly moving around inside, causing it imnse pain,
which slowed its speed significantly. As it painfully and anxiously reached the outside of the ancient city walls, the Lightning Storm had already descended, overwhelming the heavens and the earth, sweeping in...
A hundred-ter-wide lightning matrix fell, as if the Milky Way had descended from the Nine Heavens, bringing with it a suffocating force that crushed down...
BOOM~~~~~~~~
A sound like the collapse of heaven and earth shook the stars and moon in the night sky, causing the ground within a hundred-ter radius to shatter, kicking up waves of sand three ters high. These sand waves, like the shockwave from an atomic bomb explosion, rushed outward with a rumbling noise like an earthquake.
The Dharma Beast, unable to avoid it, was struck by the Lightning Storm. Bolts of lightning tempered its body, causing it to emit pained howls. Under the relentless barrage of lightning, its body began to crack, shatter, and disintegrate...
Finally, it was torn apart and reduced to dust.
The strength of the Dharma Beast's body was not much different from that of the Vajra Body Ninth Layer Barbarian Force Evil Emperor, but the scale and power of this Lightning Storm was twice as much as that one, so the Dharma Beast couldn't withstand it at all.
As the beast's body shattered, a person was revealed.
That person was Wang Xiaoqiang.
Wang Xiaoqiang sat cross-legged, with his eyes closed, his hands in a supporting posture, rging his thoughts into one, with the ntal thod running in his body.
At this mont, most of the power of the Lightning Storm had dissipated, leaving only the residual force. Even so, this residual force was still violent, forcing Wang Xiaoqiang to take precautionary asures.
He saw that the lightning bolts, densely packed, were connected into a continuous stream, entering Wang Xiaoqiang's body one after another. Finally, he used his ntal thod to guide it to his hands, refining it into the Thunderclap Annihilation Palm,
anwhile, so of the lightning entered Wang Xiaoqiang's Heavenly Eye, refining into Flash Lightning. So entered the "Courage" symbol, refining into the Holy Path of Courage. Others entered the Wind-Thunder Wings of the Patterned Beast, and as Wang Xiaoqiang sensed the lightning up close and deepened his understanding of the True aning of Thunder, part of it entered the fourth, fifth, and sixth Purple Mansions in his Dantian Qi Sea, imbuing each empty Purple Mansion with a True aning of Thunder.
With six Purple Mansions containing lightning, his strength beca unprecedentedly powerful.
Soon after...
The wind stopped, the sand settled, and the lightning cald...
Wang Xiaoqiang stood up from the sand, opened his eyes, and a smile appeared on his face.
The process was bizarre and unexpected, yet the result was perfect. This trip to the Falling Thunder Desert not only rewarded Wang Xiaoqiang with over ninety thousand Disposable Magic Treasure Spears but also the mysterious Circular Magic Treasure. Lucky in misfortune, he used the beast's body to block most of the Lightning Storm's power and utilized the residual lightning to refine the Thunderclap Annihilation Palm, Flash Lightning, Holy Path of Courage, the Wind-Thunder Wings of the Patterned Beast, and deepened his understanding of the True aning of Thunder, allowing the three empty Purple Mansions to store lightning.
Moreover, the powerful Dharma Beast perished in this Lightning Storm.
Everything happened to his satisfaction, making him extrely happy. Without lingering in the Falling Thunder Desert any longer, he imdiately rode the Patterned Beast to leave, intending to return to the Imperial Palace to thoroughly study the Circular Magic Treasure.
After the Patterned Beast's Wind-Thunder Wings were refined by the Lightning Storm, not only did their power increase, but their speed doubled. In just an hour's ti, man and beast had flown out of the Falling Thunder Desert.
Back in the Imperial Palace, Wang Xiaoqiang put aside all matters to focus on studying the Circular Magic Treasure,
but to his disappointnt, the Circular Magic Treasure seed like a fake or a pseudo-treasure. No matter how many tis he tried Blood-Recognition Binding or infused it with the Power of Immortal Ice, the treasure remained motionless,
Wang Xiaoqiang was unable to establish a ntal connection with the Circular Magic Treasure or activate it, leaving him feeling not only frustrated but also deeply disappointed.
However, he knew the Circular Magic Treasure definitely wasn't just a cheap piece of junk, so he didn't discard it. Instead, he carefully stored it in his Storage Ring,
Next, Wang Xiaoqiang began cultivating, leveraging a large Spirit Gathering Array to strive toward the Purple Mansion Immortal - Seven Ice Realm...
...
Biluo City.
City Lord's Mansion.
Inside a secret chamber.
The City Lord Fang Yuntian and the King of Kunshan sat facing each other, enjoying tea.
City Lord Fang Yuntian looked haggard, seemingly aged a hundred years overnight. Ever since his daughter, Fang Yuyan, was killed by the Chu Family and her naked body hung for display in the marketplace, his reputation was thoroughly ruined. For nearly a year, he hadn't dared to venture out,
He utterly despised the Chu Family and wished to annihilate them entirely. But his strength was limited, and moreover, the Biluo Heavenly Emperor had decreed that the two families were prohibited from fighting privately.
So now, even though the two families had a deep-seated blood feud, and even though his hatred for the Chu Family was boundless, he had to endure,
There was another person he hated because of this incident.
That person was Wang Xiaoqiang. He strongly suspected that it was Wang Xiaoqiang who had kidnapped his daughter, Wang Xiaoqiang who ignited the enmity between his family and the Chu Family. Despite hating Wang Xiaoqiang beyond asure, he had no choice but to tolerate it. Not only did Wang Xiaoqiang set out to the Outer Domain as the General of Conquest, making him untouchable, but even if he wanted to act against him, he was beyond his reach.
In stark contrast to Fang Yuntian's worn and aged appearance, the King of Kunshan looked remarkably youthful and radiant. Although they were originally of similar age, now the King of Kunshan appeared like a young man compared to Fang Yuntian,
In nearly a year, the Kunshan tribe had experienced peace and prosperity. Moreover, the King of Kunshan had just erged from a closed-door cultivation session, during which he elevated his Cultivation Base to the Purple Mansion Immortal - Second Ice Realm. His understanding of the True aning of Wind had deepened as well, and in the newly constructed Purple Mansion in his Dantian Qi Sea, a trace of the True aning of Wind was stored.
With both Purple Mansions containing the True aning of Wind, his strength grew unparalleled, making him incredibly pleased.
Originally, he intended to share a drink with Fang Yuntian, but upon seeing Fang Yuntian's condition, he lost the desire for alcohol. Upon hearing about Fang Yuntian's experiences over the past half year, the King of Kunshan sighed with sympathy, then redirected his animosity towards Wang Xiaoqiang, whom he despised to the core, saying, "Brother Fang, this must be Wang Xiaoqiang's doing. Wang Xiaoqiang is notoriously lecherous; he saw Yuyan's beauty and then had vile intentions, kidnapping her, then framing the Chu Family to stoke hostility between your two families. His thods are too sinister, too cruel..."
The King of Kunshan speculated without evidence, aiming to leverage Fang Yuntian's power to strike at Wang Xiaoqiang, and in truth, his speculation hit the mark,
Moreover, Fang Yuntian believed the sa. Hearing his daughter's na evoked painful mories, stirring both grief and anger in him,
Furiously slamming the table, he shattered it into dust, then stood up and said, "Brother Kun, since even you think so, it must be Wang Xiaoqiang for sure..."
"Brother Fang, there's no need to consider further; it must be Wang Xiaoqiang. Such deep hatred cannot be endured. We must kill Wang Xiaoqiang for peace of mind..." The King of Kunshan also stood abruptly, assuming a look of righteous anger.
"But now, Wang Xiaoqiang is heading to the Outer Domain. Even if I want to kill him, I have no way of doing so..." Fang Yuntian sighed helplessly.
"Brother Fang, Wang Xiaoqiang might not be here, but his family is. I heard he has three won, all of whom have given birth at Windrise Palace. Why not devise a plan to kill his wife and children to cause him grief?" the King of Kunshan said, making a slicing motion with his hand. "To cause him grief worse than death; wouldn't you agree?!"
