Lan Jue chuckled. "Do I look like I'm discouraged?
I'm more than happy that my brother can break through. Only then can I have a goal.
I'll work hard. Don't worry. "
Jueti glanced at him. "It's best if you really take action.
Later, let me see your progress. "
"Hehe, Dad, can't you feel how powerful I am now?" Lan Jue smiled.
Everyone couldn't help but smile. Only Lan Jue could say that she was powerful in front of Jueti.
Jueti snapped, "Don't be cocky. Do you think I don't know where your power comes from?"
Lan Jue shrugged and ignored his father. He asked Roxanne in a low voice, "Did you take him down?"
Roxanne glanced at Jueti. Jueti couldn't help but be angry. Did you think I couldn't hear you if you spoke softly?
"En." She nodded at Lan Jue. Her face was slightly red, but her eyes were filled with indescribable satisfaction.
Lan Jue gave her a thumbs up. "Amazing!"
No matter how thick Jueti's skin was, he couldn't help but blush. He said angrily, "Little brat, get lost!" As he said that, he waved his hand. An invisible force immediately shrouded Lan Jue.
That force was as majestic as a mountain. It also had an indescribable pressure. It was as if the entire world was rejecting Lan Jue, trying to separate him from this place.
Lan Jue's eyes lit up. She deliberately wanted to test the extent of her ability.
Her eyes suddenly turned a clear golden-blue. She waved her right hand forward. A red light lit up and outlined a ring.
The center of the ring collapsed instantly. Then, it turned into a clear golden-blue circular plane.
Driven by the Immortal-trapping Sword, the potential released by Jueti disappeared without a trace.
The golden-blue circular surface instantly shone brightly, and a golden-blue beam of light with a diameter of more than one meter instantly blasted towards Jueti with a deep thunderous sound.
Jueti's face first revealed a trace of surprise, and then his face suddenly changed. As if he had encountered a ghost, his figure instantly disappeared on the spot.
The golden-blue light shot out hundreds of meters before slowly disappearing. However, it did not dissipate and did not explode. After the golden-blue lightning disappeared, there were still specks of silver light left in the air, lingering for a long time.
It wasn't just Jueti's face that changed. Roxanne, who wasn't Lan Jue's target, also turned pale. She hid behind the Wine Master in a flash of silver.
"Rascal, do you want to kill your father?"
Jueti's angry voice rang out. Light flashed again, and he reappeared in front of Lan Jue. However, he deliberately avoided those silver stars.
Lan Jue was taken aback. What was going on with her father?
Could it be that his attack could hurt him?
Why did he run so fast?
He wasn't the only one who was baffled. The three Paragons were as well. Jueti didn't seem to be the man they'd heard!
He was strong, but when faced with an Adept who wasn't even a Paragon, he chose to run. It was a far cry from the legend he was supposed to be.
Jueti looked at Lan Jue, shock written all over his face. But there was also fear in his eyes.
"Father, what's wrong?" Lan Jue asked curiously.
Jueti's breathing was ragged. "What's happened to you? Why has your lightning become like this?"
Lan Jue answered. "Fusing yin and yang lightning with the Driver!
Didn't I tell you already?
We're trying to fuse yin and yang lightning together to transform our Cores and our Discipline. That way we can evolve our Disciplines. "
"No, that's not what I'm talking about.
Since when did your lightning possess the power of Ninth Heaven's lightning? "Jueti's voice was low.
"Ninth Heaven's lightning?" Lan Jue understood.
"Oh, I stumbled across a piece of thunder essence. I absorbed it and tried to fuse it.
Maybe it affected my Discipline a little. "
"Thunder essence?"
The shock in Jueti's eyes deepened, but he let out a sigh of relief. He smiled wryly. "I'll have to keep my distance from you from now on.
You were actually able to find the thunder essence. No wonder the fortune teller chose you. Your luck is truly heaven-defying. "
"What is a Thunder Essence?" Luo Xianni also came out. In that instant, she also felt a strong sense of fear.
The Clockmaker, the Wine Master, and the Pauper looked on in bewilderment.
Jue Di's voice was low and deep. "Thunder essence is a special metal that was created in ancient times when a Greater Monster reached the pinnacle of his Cultivation. When the Ninth Heaven's Tribulation came to an end, the Ninth Heaven's Thunder Tribulation was destroyed. The power of the Ninth Heaven's Thunder combined with the Greater Monster's immortal qi.
It's a rare treasure among rare treasures.
I've only read about it in some ancient texts, but it really exists.
This kid absorbed some of the thunder essence's power, and it gave his lightning the power of Ninth Heaven's lightning. I thought the tribulation was coming. Scared the hell out of me. "
Lan Jue looked at him suspiciously. "Father, are you really going to face your Tribulation?"
"Pass my ass," Jue Di retorted. "No one ever succeeds."
He looked a little crestfallen. "If we were still on the mother planet, then we'd still have a great deal of atmospheric energy.
Maybe we'd have a chance.
Do you know, in ancient times, whether human or monster, all the great beings had to gather to face their Tribulations?
Add to that their treasures, what you call Paragon's Armaments.
It took a lot of effort, and a lot of luck.
But now, it was impossible for anyone to possess the power to transcend the tribulation and ascend.
The world of immortals is gone, and the Ninth Heaven's lightning is no more. Tribulation doesn't exist.
At my level, I've reached a certain level in the universe. The most I can do is change in energy, but I can't change in quality.
Celestial Master Qian Tian reached this level, which is why he went looking for the immortal realm. He was looking for a chance to face his Tribulation.
He had obtained many ancient treasures passed down from the ancient times, so he believed that he had a chance.
But today he's nowhere to be seen.
He's long gone. "
Jueti's words were a secret to the others, and the Paragons listened with rapt attention.
Lan Jue spoke first. "Dad, my thunder essence contains the power of Ninth Heaven's lightning. If I could absorb it all and strike you a few more times, would that help you become immortal?"
Jueti fumed. "Bullshit!
Do you think your puny abilities can compare to Ninth Heaven's lightning?
What do you think it is?
That thing, it can obliterate an entire planet with a single strike.
In ancient times, if it weren't for the mother planet being protected by a great deal of atmospheric energy.
All it would take would be a few bolts of Ninth Heaven's lightning to destroy the entire planet. "
Lan Jue stuck her tongue out at him. "That's amazing.
If I absorb the Thunder Essence to improve myself, it won't bring you trouble, right? "
Jueti shook his head. "This is your chance, so make the most of it.
The immortal qi contained in the thunder essence is the most valuable.
It's the power of an immortal.
Feel it for yourself, maybe you'll learn something.
I don't know what will happen if you absorb the thunder essence.
Once you've gained full control of it, you can show me your immortal qi. "
Lan Jue nodded. "Alright."
Jueti's eyes darted around, then a thought came to him. His stern face broke into a smile. "Haha, I've got it!"
His mood changed so quickly that even Lan Jue was a little unaccustomed. She couldn't help but ask, "Dad, what did you think of that makes you so happy?"
Jueti explained. "I've already thought of A-Qing's dharma for him.
But I've never thought of a suitable one for you.
Compared to him, you're lacking something.
A-Qing's blood contains some wonderful power, but you don't.
But now that you've absorbed the thunder essence, you've made up for it. I've already thought of a dharma for you to form.
Heh heh heh heh. "
At the end, he couldn't help but burst out laughing. But his laughter was filled with an indescribable sense of smugness and cunning.
"Chi Bupang, why are you laughing so slyly?
Did you think of something bad? "Luo Xianni asked doubtfully.
Jueti chuckled. "You'll know soon enough."
"Soon enough?"
Jueti nodded. "Let's watch A-Qing ascend first.
Then you'll understand what I'm talking about.
If this happened in ancient times, who knows how many people would be shocked? Haha, hahahaha! "
Everyone was baffled by Jueti's laughter. They couldn't understand why he'd suddenly become so cheerful.
Just then, they heard the sound of orderly footsteps. In the distance, a large number of soldiers were running in their direction.
Their formation was neat and orderly, with a somber air about them.
There were about a thousand of them, with Lan Qing at the front.
Each of the soldiers was wearing the Iron-Blooded Yellow Armband, and their bodies were faintly emitting energy.
Adepts!
These thousand soldiers were all Adepts.
Lan Jue had heard from Lan Qing that the Bloodiron Khans' most elite Division was made up of elite Adepts from all over the army.
It seemed they were the ones. They'd been brought here to experience protogenia as well.
It was the first time Star Division's soldiers had seen the Bloodiron Khans. They were all Adepts, but there was something different about them.
Every soldier in the Bloodiron Khans wore the same expression, without the slightest hint of emotion. They ran in perfect unison, a thousand of them, but the only sound they made was the same. There was no noise or confusion.
Star Division couldn't hope to match their discipline.
Then there was their aura. When a thousand of them ran together, it was like a single entity, as imposing as a mountain, as aggressive as fire.
