Li Zuoyue said, "Of course it’s related. Junior Sister Ji is a True Disciple of the Sanqing Immortal Sect, and I am too. If she’s evenly matched with Zhang Yuge, that’s the same as me being evenly matched with him!"
Xiang Tiange coughed twice and changed the subject. "Junior Sister Ji is indeed a rare talent. As expected of Elder Ji Yan’s daughter, she has truly inherited the essence of the Thunder Sect! Junior Brother Wang Xiu, what do you think?"
"What do I think?" Wang Xiu’s mouth twitched as he shook his head helplessly. "Those two are both impossibly stubborn!"
Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned for a moment before they understood what Wang Xiu meant.
Amid the distant ruins, light once again burst forth from Zhang Yuge’s body.
By the looks of it... the fight wasn’t over?
"The Innate Thunder Saint Body is truly powerful!" Looking at Ji Zidian, Zhang Yuge admitted with genuine admiration, "If I were really just a Core Formation Stage cultivator right now, I would have already lost!"
Ji Zidian huffed haughtily, "You haven’t won now either!"
Zhang Yuge took a deep breath, a complex look flashing in his eyes. He seemed to have made a decision. "This battle concerns the honor of our Sect," he said seriously. "I have a reason that I must win... Therefore, please forgive me, Junior Sister Ji! If you aren’t willing to concede, then run. Run as far as you can and don’t look back!"
Ji Zidian didn’t understand what he meant.
However, in the next moment, an immensely vast and grand power suddenly arose from Zhang Yuge. He had not undone the seal on his Cultivation Level, but the aura that suddenly enveloped him was so magnificent that it clearly surpassed not only Core Formation but even the Nascent Soul. It seemed to come from beyond the heavens.
Zhang Yuge’s expression was unprecedentedly serious, brilliance surging in his eyes as his hand seals changed rapidly. He chanted in a low voice, "Innate Divine Emperor, Celestial Honored Ones of the Upper Realm, Five Directions Dao Qi, illuminate the three thousand, link the three realms, command thunder, your subject dares to—"
"The Yellow Emperor of the Center, the Mysterious Spirit of Huang Lao, Celestial Lord of the Primordial Qi!"
"Grant me your divine presence!"
As Zhang Yuge finished his incantation, a shocking rift tore open in the fabric of the void, and an unimaginable divine might descended. It was an aura that transcended the mundane, one that did not belong to this world.
"He’s mad, truly mad!"
"Senior Brother, stop!"
The countenances of the many prodigies from the Immortal Sects changed drastically. This terrifying aura, if it were to land on them, could annihilate them instantly.
The technique Zhang Yuge used was still the Thunder Technique, but in terms of power, it was now comparable to the ultimate skills of the Sanqing Thunder Sect. He was using thunder to commune with the Innate Divine Spirits, summoning the Mysterious Spirit of Huang Lao from the Center to lend his aid!
This required a cultivator to have near-obsessive control over the Thunder Technique. It also demanded recognition from the divine spirits that exist in the great unknown. The difficulty was unimaginable.
If cultivated to perfection, one could simultaneously invite the divine spirits of the east, south, west, north, and center to appear. One could then control all the thunder in the world and suppress any evil spirit.
But that was the stuff of legends. For at least the last several hundred years, no one had heard of any master from Mount Longhu achieving it.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Yuge, so young, was already able to invite a divine spirit’s projection to descend into the Lower Realm.
Truly worthy of being the Saint Heir of Longhu!

"Junior Sister, quickly get behind me!"
Feeling the terror of Zhang Yuge’s strike, the faces of everyone from the Sanqing Immortal Sect changed. They could no longer spare the energy to curse Zhang Yuge for his shamelessness. They were all urgently calling for Ji Zidian to escape. Xiang Tiange, Li Zuoyue, and others surged forward, wanting to shield Ji Zidian behind them.
Damn it... If anything happened to Ji Zidian, Elder Ji Yan would surely flay them alive when they returned!
Even the prodigies from the other Immortal Sects had gone pale. The members of the Immortal Alliance were also panicked. It wasn’t every day the Sanqing Immortal Sect produced a Sacred Body. If something were to happen to her here, the Cultivation World would likely erupt in a storm of blood and fury.
This Saint Heir of the Longhu Immortal Sect... he’s far too impulsive!
However, Ji Zidian seemed not to hear the shouts of her fellow disciples.
Her hands were clasped before her chest. From her cleavage, she slowly drew out a thunder-blade wreathed in Zi Dian.
Her eyes surged with fighting spirit.
"A disciple of the Sanqing Immortal Sect is never weaker than anyone else!"
"In this world, the only men who can make me admit defeat are my father and my Senior Brother!"
"No matter which god you summon, I will slay them with a single slash!"
A pleasant blade’s cry rang out.
Ji Zidian transformed into a bolt of lightning and soared into the sky. Her body was draped in streamers of thunder as she trod upon the void, her steps forming the seven stars of the Big Dipper. With every step she took, her aura skyrocketed. After seven steps, the thunderous glow around her was so dense it was nearly tangible.
A colossal thunder dragon phantom emerged behind Ji Zidian. It blotted out the sky, its roar shaking heaven and earth.
The ultimate skill of the Thunder Sect!
Seven Steps Dragon Slaying Technique!
It was cultivated on the Dragon Slaying Platform by absorbing Dragon Origin Qi. Before awakening her Sacred Body, Ji Zidian was considered invincible among her peers with this technique alone. Now, after awakening her Sacred Body, her Seven Steps Dragon Slaying Technique had reached the state of Great Accomplishment!
To cultivate an ultimate technique to Great Accomplishment while only at the Core Formation Realm was an unprecedented anomaly in the thousand-year history of the Thunder Sect.
As expected of a Sacred Body!
Ji Zidian struck. The thunder dragon roared and descended, annihilating the very void where it passed and leaving ripples in its wake. Bathed in lightning, it crashed forward with the might of destruction, colliding with the Ancient God phantom Zhang Yuge had summoned.
Seeing this, Zhang Yuge’s expression changed drastically, and cold sweat poured down his forehead.
Summoning an Ancient God was his ultimate trump card. Only by using his peak cultivation could he control it with ease.
