In the imperial palace.

At this time, a powerhouse stood up and asked, "Has the ancient history not been clarified from the Sacrificial Tomb's ancestral grave?"

"The shadows in the Sacrificial Tomb are merely memories from the heads inside, not the actual Embers... So, we are not familiar with our ancient ancestors," Dao Yueniang said indifferently. "We know nothing about the ancient ancestral tribe. We've dispatched our best tomb raiders to gather information, but we've gleaned very little."

As the discussion continued, the entire battle below the ocean had already reached a fever pitch.

A literal feverish scene.

Endless magnetic fields and arcs spun rapidly.

"That guy, has he gone mad?"

"What on earth is he doing??"

Everyone looked down and witnessed a scene they would never forget.

...

Lei Gong, even without any techniques, merely by instinctive use of the five basic Immortal Spirit Roots, had a magnetic field enveloping everyone's heads.

When the enormous magnetic field attack dissipated, the powerhouses who recovered their senses found themselves in disarray, and the entire East Sea's water had completely turned upside down.

The sea in the sky, still flowing, transformed into ocean currents and clouds, swirling in all directions.

"Thunderstorm, descend upon the world!"

Lei Gong angrily roared at the sky.

The sky suddenly turned completely dark, black as ink, with ominous clouds rolling overhead, the celestial phenomenon almost suffocating.

Lei Gong's tribe's characteristic, the thunder's "full map attack," started to stir the entire East Sea, gradually forming a gigantic thunderstorm.

The thunderstorm attempted to cover the vast East Sea.

And it formed a chain celestial phenomenon, driving the clouds that should be in the sky, forming a thunderstorm over the East Sea and even the entire Nine-State.

The thunderstorm crackled in the sky, flashing with sounds akin to a tsunami. Upon careful listening, the lightning seemed to form something resembling a telegraph.

"I... I am Lei Gong."

The sound, accompanying the rain, resounded across the East Sea, spreading to the Nine-State.

A vast thunderstorm covering half of the Four Seas, Nine-State poured down.

"Listen, I want the world to hear my voice." Lei Gong pointed at the sky dome.

Amid the endless thunderclouds and the soft patter of rain, it seemed to form a sort of electromagnetic wave, like a giant world radio, accompanied by the ticking rain, forming an electromagnetic broadcast.

The sound echoed across the East Sea, spreading outward.

"I am the ancient Thunder God serving the King of Embers, coming as a vanguard to this world, declaring you shall submit to us!"

...

"A Spring Thunderstorm will be the first salvo to welcome the Supreme Monarch!"

...

Almost half of the coastal Nine-State, in streets and cities, the people who had just battled the Pseudo-human Calamity, exhausted and weary, watched the thunderstorm, the faint sound of thunder gathering into a sentence.

What sound was echoing in the sky?

On streets and alleys, people of all kinds walked out of their homes, looked up, and felt the raindrops gradually falling on them.

Serving the King of Embers? Ancient Thunder God? Coming as a vanguard to this world? Declaring you shall submit?

The people, who had just faced the Pseudo-human Calamity, tensed to the extreme upon hearing the mention of the King of Embers. The Pseudo-human Calamity had just ended, yet the Embers Disaster was breaking out again?

...

Xinyi Continent City.

Thunderstorms filled the sky, and raindrops pattered down onto the earth.

Zhang Huaping, just over a hundred years old, had reached the pinnacle of life. Now, as a low-level Demon Hunting instructor at Ximen Academy, possessing the Four Viscera Realm Great Perfection, she stared wide-eyed at the sky, feeling the majestic and grand thunderous voice.

Could this rain and thunder covering half of the Nine-State announce the resurrection of the ancient monarch?

The sound was so shocking that it made Zhang Huaping's heart pound wildly, her emotions unable to settle for a long time.

...

Is it only Zhang Huaping who felt this way? Not just the old friend Shi Youxing, but also the Blood Separation Flower family on the East Sea islands, powerhouses from all continents felt the rain and thunder from the sky, the drops dampening their clothes.

Listening to the sound, feeling the thunderstorm, their hearts surged uncontrollably.

"Can it be this powerful?"

"Isn't this the widespread thunder of Lei Gong's tribe, known for instantaneously striking anywhere across the Nine-State and Four Seas?"

"Can a powerhouse in the new era's Self-Transformation Realm be this powerful?"

All factions, all powerhouses, the masterminds behind the scenes, and the Pseudo-human Emperor from the Chronicles of Time were astounded.

The new era's Immortal Spirit Roots could be so powerful, sending shivers of thrilling excitement down the spines of some old era powerhouses who still remained in the Celestial Spirit Root.

To welcome the King's arrival?

Everyone stared blankly at this scene.

What a terrifying celestial phenomenon.

This ultra-wide-range attack was something only Lei Gong's tribe could accomplish.

Because with lightning, they could utilize rain, clouds, and the positive and negative ions in the atmosphere, effortlessly moving immense nature with minimal effort.

That's why they were called "full map attack."

And this full map attack before them, raining over half of the Nine-State and Four Seas, was enough to be recorded in history, leaving a name in the annals!

...

On the battlefield.

A super thunder gradually subsided because all the attacks were used to manipulate the clouds and rain, creating a mythic scene that consumed too much Great Mana, naturally not striking them.

All the powerhouses showed expressions of both shock and speechlessness.

Lei Gong had played them fiercely.

No wonder he launched such a wide-range attack right at the beginning; it's actually to attract their attention and with this three-kilometer-wide strike, evaporate massive amounts of seawater into the clouds, creating rain.

Therefore.

His goal from the start was to create a massive thunderstorm covering the world, to make the world listen to his voice?

Such a strong desire to show off?

And this almost drained his exaggerated and extremely profound mana, just to create this flashy world speaker?

Or does he think after this move, with his mana exhausted, he can still escape?

He's destined to die here!

To announce the birth of that one, he risks falling into danger?

Countless powerhouses, their thoughts clashing in their hearts, giving rise to various speculations.

At this moment, Phoenix Yi, who suffered from a severe setback, though usually good-tempered, was truly enraged, "Fighting is one thing, but is he looking down on us? Attacking the sky right in front of us? Letting his voice spread across the Nine-State Four Seas? He's asking to die!"

She originally intended to hide her power, but now facing such heavy provocation, she finally had to reveal her true divine techniques.

Five-Colored Phoenix Fire.

The flame symbolizing death and rebirth, her fire can burn all things, can assimilate everything, in an instant, wherever the flames touched seemed like all creation collapsed, its might fiercely and chaotically potent.

Her power is exceptionally traditional with the Five Elements Spirit Root, pure and powerful, invincible, breaking through any flashy showmanship.

Yet the Cursed one's actions were very strange.

His power demonstrated the traditional mysterious capabilities of the Yin Yang Spirit Root.

He reached out and threw out several demonic entities akin to Divine Summoning Plaques, starting to attack, clearing the surrounding thunder.

Under the exposure of these two's combat power, the entire thunder was swiftly cleared.

In their view.

The entire Lei Gong was nothing more than a large fool with immense power, soon to be swiftly obliterated, dismantled, and harshly crushed by the two furious leaders.

Boom!

In the next second, Lei Gong was knocked backward.

"We won."

"As expected."

"Just a large fool relying on immense power, he nearly exhausted all his profound mana, otherwise with his undying nature, who knows how long it would take to obliterate him."

"Nothing more than this."

...

Cheering voices echoed around.

Phoenix Yi kept attacking, gracefully like a bird, scratching marks all over Lei Gong, "No! If he learns to apply techniques and divine techniques, his combat power would be stronger than ours."

"This is also based on the fact that he exhausted significant mana."

The Cursed one revealed a solemn expression, "And I suspect, this immense power of his was exchanged for with wisdom, he can't use divine techniques, only basic punches and kicks."

Phoenix Yi showed a thoughtful look, if that's the case, it indeed makes sense.

After all, every power comes at a cost.

Sacrificing one's technique and divine techniques in exchange for basic strength values isn't too weak.

The arrogant Lei Gong who challenged the world gradually lost his breath.

His arrogance received its due answer.

But at this moment, as his breath faded, walking towards death, Lei Gong displayed a strange smile.

"Heh heh, death is not death..."

He suddenly pointed towards the thundercloud in the sky, his voice arrogant and bold to the extreme, making all the Central Plains Nine-State people hear his final echo,

"We come from the old tomb, and return to the old tomb...death is not a destination, but the next rebirth."

Everyone listened to his last roar.

From the old tomb, and return to the old tomb?

Just as everyone felt a slight unease in their hearts, they suddenly remembered that his Five Elements Spirit Root had shown only four.

One more Wood type mutated spirit root hadn't appeared.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

His heart was beating.

"It's the Wood Series Heart of Rebirth!" Suddenly, White Tiger Saint Child from afar recalled something, "A second life, has he recovered?"

The heavily scarred Lei Gong emitted his last faint voice, seeming to issue his last faint murmurs, reverberating in the seawater.

"Be careful, it's coming."

"It is the old and grand unbounded Water Deer."

"It is the ruler of all seeing."

"It is the black star in the night sky."

"It is the origin of all things' eyes."

"It holds the vision of all beings."

"It is my...eye."

...

Lei Gong's weak voice gradually becoming inaudible, as if utterly heading towards death, yet it still lingered in everyone's ears.

Suddenly, a flash of figure, Lei Gong's silhouette was abruptly covered by a ray of light, endless vast blood and flesh surging, seemingly nurturing some ancient Demon God's Egg, the massive egg sheath beat like a heart thumping.

In the next moment, the entire black egg burst open, replaced by a proud and beautiful Water Deer elegantly stretching, its voice alluring and melodious,

"Lei Gong has already lost, the second round of combat begins, leave the rest to me!"
