I, Who Hate Marine So Much, Have Become A Future Nika?

Chapter 291: Thunderstorm that Turns the Earth into a White Land

"Boom boom boom!!!"

With Zhong Cang's wave of his hand, the sky brightened!

The dark clouds covered the city, still shrouding the land in darkness for miles. But at this moment, as Zhong Cang swung his arm down, endless thunder appeared between heaven and earth.

The sudden appearance of thunder illuminated the sky and earth, turning them bright white.

The overly bright light made it impossible for people to see anything other than the flashes of thunder, blinding them from seeing anything else.

"Boom boom boom..."

The lightning was dazzling, and the pure light was like staring directly at the sun for ordinary people, or looking at a nuclear explosion up close. Many monsters' eyes were directly blinded.

In addition to blinding their eyes, the falling thunder brought with it deafening thunderous roars that continued without end.

"Boom boom boom!!!"

The intense thunderous roars were like the roar of a god, as if the heavens were angry.

The combination of flashes and thunder made it so that for a moment, there was only these two things in the sky and earth, completely obscuring the monsters' senses.

However, being blinded and deafened, the loss of their two major senses, was insignificant for the immortals.

When the thunder struck the earth from the sky, a more terrifying disaster befell these monsters.

That disaster was called death!

The falling thunder had immense power.

Indeed, the immortals had evolved resistance to thunder and could barely withstand some thunder strikes.

However, any resistance has its limits.

Daoist thunder, unless one masters the rules, there is no possibility of complete immunity.

So, how powerful is Zhong Cang's divine thunder?

Regarding this, the boundless Zhong Cang could only say that even a Gold Core would not be able to walk out of this thunderstorm unscathed.

Most of the immortals only had the strength of Qi Refining, but this boundless divine thunder could even harm a Gold Core.

The huge disparity in strength made the thunder resistance evolved by the immortals seem as fragile as paper in Zhong Cang's eyes.

"Boom!"

In the thunderous roar, the dazzling lightning was like a divine weapon of the heavens, capable of shattering all the immortals into dust with its destructive power.

In the face of this terrifying divine thunder, all the immortals' resistance seemed particularly laughable.

Spiritual energy barriers? Evolutionary adaptation? The unstoppable thunder could instantly destroy anything it touched.

The devastating strike left no chance for the immortals to adapt.

Unparalleled power, this is the first advantage of divine thunder.

But if that were all, Zhong Cang's attack, although Transcendent, would not make people despair or fear, nor would it leave the people from the foreign realm dumbfounded.

If they went all out, the Divine Maiden Xin Xuan and the Dragon Son Mu Tuo from the foreign realm also had the confidence to unleash an attack as powerful as a Gold Core.

What shocked and horrified them was that the thunder called forth by Zhong Cang seemed endless.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"...

The grand and immensely powerful thunder fell like a torrential rain.

This is not a metaphor, the countless thunderbolts were truly falling like rain, madly striking down.

Relying on their formidable strength, the foreign Divine Maiden Xinxuan, Longzi Mutuo, and some powerful elders could widen their eyes and see everything amidst the flashing lightning.

However, to their astonishment, they found that everything they saw was this terrifying thunderstorm.

Like the water of the Milky Way, it gave people a feeling of endless and never-ending torrent.

There were many remnants of immortality, and even more lightning. The continuous lightning strikes extinguished those terrifying monsters one by one.

This scene shattered the worldview of Divine Maiden Xinxuan and Longzi Mutuo, leaving them speechless and shaking their heads in disbelief.

"This is impossible!"

"The Azure Ash World can only accommodate cultivators at the Gold Core stage at most. How can a single Gold Core summon such a huge natural disaster?"

"It's fake, this is definitely fake!"

The foreigners whose worldview collapsed couldn't even believe what they were seeing.

However, no matter how they tried to rationalize, reality would not change because of their denial.

While they were muttering in madness, the bombardment of thunder continued.

Hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands, millions, tens of millions... dazzling lightning struck the earth incessantly, and the deafening thunder echoed in the sky.

Such a thunderstorm was not a fleeting moment, but lasted for three minutes, five minutes, ten minutes... until fifteen minutes!

"Boom!"

The thunderous sound filled the sky, burning the air and leaving a smell of ozone in the air.

When the last thunder faded away and peace returned to the world, both the foreigners and the cultivators of the Cloud Firmament Sect and the Dao Sect, were unable to react at first.

Even in the ears of many, the thunderous rumbling continued, faintly lingering.

Their minds had been stunned by the sound of thunder.

When they took a few moments to recover from the sound of thunder and opened their eyes to look at the outside world again, the emotions of shock and astonishment appeared on their faces once more.

There was no way not to be shocked.

After recovering from the bombardment of thunder, they were horrified to find that everything they could see outside the Cloud Firmament Sect's residence had been turned into a white expanse by the thunder.

A clean white expanse.

In that vast wilderness, the remnants of immortality, which were once boundless and despair-inducing, had all disappeared.

Even their bodies were nowhere to be found.

All the monsters had been completely pulverized by the thunder.

The dust fell from the sky, making the ground look like it was covered in a layer of gray ashes.

Along with the destruction, rocks and trees... everything above the ground was crushed and flattened by the thunder.

Even the deep earth was bombarded and left half a meter deep, with the surface of the entire land scorched black after removing the ashes.

Some core points where the lightning struck even had melted glass, which proved the terrifying power of the thunder.

"Hiss..."

"This, is this the power that a Gold Core can possess?"

"What about the remnants of immortality?"

"Gone, they're gone?"

"Just... like this, they're gone?"

This shocking scene distorted the faces of the cultivators from the Dao Sect.

And the cultivators of the Cloud Firmament Sect, although they didn't feel as much fear, they had a feeling as if they were in a dream.

Just fifteen minutes ago, they were feeling despair over the boundless and endless calamity of longevity.

But after fifteen minutes, their despairing enemies were swept away by thunder, facing this situation, who wouldn't be stunned?

And after the shock, what remained in the hearts of the Cloud Firmament Sect cultivators was excitement and exhilaration.

"We won! We won!"

"Hahaha, we won!"

"Long live Senior Brother Zhong Cang!"

"We, the Cloud Firmament Sect, are invincible!"

...

The joy of victory, a crushing victory, this scene made the disciples of the Cloud Firmament Sect cheer incessantly.

Regarding this, the Gold Core elders in the Azure Ash World did not stop them.

They were also excited and overjoyed by the victory before their eyes.

In addition, these high-ranking individuals also understood that their disciples had been fighting in dire straits for a long time, and their hearts were already stretched to the limit. Taking a moment to relax now was a good thing for them.

However, while some were happy, others had complex feelings, and some were lost in confusion.

The Dao Sect members were the ones with complex feelings. Seeing how strong the Cloud Firmament Sect was, easily annihilating their enemies and overcoming the current disaster, they were both happy and worried for their own sect.

After all, their sect was not far from the Cloud Firmament Sect.

As for those who were lost, they were naturally the people from the foreign lands.

In order to migrate their people to the Hongxuan Continent for freedom and safety, they had planned numerous strategies and made countless preparations.

However, the core of this plan was that the Cloud Firmament Sect was unable to resist the calamity of the longevity gods and needed them.

Originally, they were full of confidence in this point.

Having fought against the longevity gods for so long, they knew how powerful and terrifying they were, almost an unbeatable disaster and calamity.

In their inherent thinking, this terrifying calamity would be like an unstoppable flood, breaking and crushing all the arrangements of the Cloud Firmament Sect and the Dao and Demon Sects, and counterattacking the Hongxuan Continent.

At that time, the Cloud Firmament Sect, with no other choice, and the other sects of the Hongxuan Continent, would be forced to rely on their power.

And with that demand, they would have the possibility of migrating to the Hongxuan Continent.

However, the scene before them now completely shattered their inherent impression.

The remnants of longevity were a natural disaster, an unstoppable calamity?

Indeed, they were, but Zhong Cang of the Cloud Firmament Sect, along with the majestic Floating Sky City, were even more terrifying natural disasters, insurmountable calamities.

Whether it was Xinxuan of the Night Cat Clan or Longzi Muto, they would never forget the thunderstorm doomsday just now.

The thundercloud storm that lasted for fifteen minutes, turning the sky pale and the earth into a white land, not only crushed billions of remnants of longevity, but also completely shattered the confidence of the foreign tribes.

Even the arrogant Longzi Muto was now somewhat cautious as he said, "Should we still stick to our original plan? Although I don't want to believe it, based on the words of the remnants of longevity, they are likely not opponents of the Cloud Firmament Sect cultivators... That endless thundercloud storm is too powerful!"

This statement received agreement from many people.

Unlike the large clans protected by great gods, many small tribes were on the brink of extinction after thousands of years of warfare.

Indeed, freedom is precious.

But for them, staying alive and passing on their race's heritage is even more important.

Therefore, these people didn't mind paying the price of their freedom to rely on the Cloud Firmament Sect.

Regarding this, Xin Xuan... did not agree.

"Hmph, you surrendered too early, and the remnants of the Everlasting Clan have not been defeated!"

"If the Everlasting hybrids with divine messengers were so easy to deal with, we, who are protected by divine beings, would not have ended up in this situation."

These words caused the actions of the foreign tribes to pause.

It was not that they were easily deceived, but rather that these people had all fought against the Everlasting hybrids before and had witnessed their terror. Therefore, these people agreed with Xin Xuan's statement that the Everlasting hybrids with divine messengers as their leaders were not so easy to deal with.

Zhong Cang also agreed with this point.

He did not listen to Xin Xuan and the others' words. The tranquility of the night was even more mysterious than he had imagined.

Xin Xuan and the others, protected by the serene night, could not leak even a trace of their presence or conversation.

The reason Zhong Cang agreed with this point was that he discovered that with the boundless power provided by the Floating Sky City, Qian Tianhao, he had summoned endless thunderclouds and annihilated billions of Everlasting hybrids within a hundred miles. However, the remnants of the Everlasting Clan in the distance did not retreat in fear, but triggered a stress response.

The sprouts of these remnants were growing and multiplying rapidly.

At the same time, they were extracting the life force of their hosts, allowing the Everlasting sprouts to multiply rapidly. These sprouts were also integrating and devouring each other.

Tens, hundreds, thousands, millions... a massive number of Everlasting remnants were constantly devouring and integrating.

During the process of devouring and integrating, their aura continued to rise.

Qi Refining, Foundation Building, Gold Core... in just a few breaths, the billions of Everlasting remnants within a hundred miles transformed into nearly a hundred Gold Core-level strange and demonic Great Demons.

"No longer pursuing quantity, but pursuing quality. A smart move, but for me... useless!"

Sitting in the main hall of the Floating Sky City, feeling the integration with the city's spiritual formation, his boundless power, Zhong Cang had the impulse to challenge even a Nascent Soul.

In this situation, he naturally did not pay much attention to the hundred or so Gold Core cultivators.

Of course, Zhong Cang also understood that his impulse to challenge a Nascent Soul was not because he truly had the strength of a Nascent Soul. It was because his power had increased too much in a short period of time, and this power was not his own. This kind of inflated power made him feel falsely powerful.

This kind of false strength easily made people become arrogant.

Zhong Cang had this feeling now, but fortunately, with the turn of his Heavenly Heart, he recognized himself.

However, although he couldn't match a Nascent Soul in terms of power and understanding of the laws, he was confident in defeating the hundred or so Gold Core cultivators in front of him.

Especially since these Gold Core cultivators in front of him had forcefully advanced and were not stable in their foundations, they were easy to deal with...

"You actually think Gold Core cultivators are easy to deal with and believe you can take on a hundred of them? Is my current mentality still inflated?"

Closing his eyes, fully activating his Heavenly Heart, and carefully pondering for a while, Zhong Cang realized that he was not inflated.

Relying solely on himself, he had the opportunity to kill Gold Core-level Everlasting remnants, not just one or two, but the chance to kill around ten forcefully advanced Gold Core remnants in guerrilla warfare.

However, if the enemy swarmed him, he would not be a match. Even if he killed a few, he would be killed by the remaining Everlasting remnants.

But Zhong Cang was not alone now.

He was controlling the Floating Sky City, a vast city that he had spent billions of spirit stones to invite formation Daoists, refining Grandmasters, and countless treasures to integrate, as well as advanced concepts to create a supreme Law Treasure.

With the assistance of this city, Zhong Cang's strength had increased dozens of times from his original foundation.

In this situation, when he said he could take on a hundred, it was not arrogance but confidence.

"With the Floating Sky City as a mobile training ground, with this treasure's assistance, I have temporarily grown stronger."

Sitting in the Floating Sky City, Zhong Cang sighed, but the Everlasting remnants would not give him time to sigh.

After devouring and integrating with each other, the nearly hundred Gold Core-level Everlasting remnants rushed towards the Floating Sky City suspended high in the sky from all directions.

The real battle was about to begin!
