Otherworldly Desert Dust-Chapter 469 - 424: Manifestation of the Jade Emperor Qilin

Leng Shu's forehead manifested the Thunder God's Eye.

As he looked up at the skies above Tongtian City, the Thunder God Eye was reflected there.

The thunder pupils, densely packed and golden-purple, shone like festival lanterns above the entirety of Tongtian City, each one fixing its gaze upon Wu Hen.

"Buzz!!!!"

In an instant, a terrifying barrage of thunderous rays emitted from the dense pupils, weaving together to form an inverted conical Thunder Prison at the Punishment Hall of Tongtian City. The apex of the cone, charged with the power of tens of thousands of Thunder God pupils, hammered down toward Wu Hen's heart!

Witnessing this terrifying sight, the Holy Sect Earth Officials originally surrounding Wu Hen all prostrated on the ground. How could such power not contend with the heavens, and how could the frail human flesh withstand it?

They feared being caught in the aftermath, exceedingly anxious, and also oppressed by the overwhelming energy to the point of being immobile.

In the midst of the Thousand-Eyed Thunderbolt, Wu Hen did not vanish into ashes as people expected. His body emanated the most unadorned Holy Breath, still merely in an aura form.

He bathed in the supreme Thunder God's Light, enveloped further by an incredibly mysterious soul light. Under the protection of this soul light, Wu Hen held no fear of such Supreme Thunder Power.

He continued approaching Leng Shu, unfazed by the Thunder God's Eye.

He raised his fist and again smashed it toward Leng Shu's nose.

Leng Shu's eyes widened, filled with disbelief.

"Thump!"

With that punch, Leng Shu's nasal bone broke.

He slid backward again, and the Thunder God's Eye on his forehead shot a golden lightning bolt at Wu Hen!

Wu Hen, however, suddenly reached out his hand, catching the golden lightning bolt barehanded.

Like catching a little bamboo snake at the roadside, he tossed the golden lightning bolt into oblivion.

"Your barks are loud, so show your hidden skills, or else I'll begin breaking your finger bones one by one!" Wu Hen kept advancing.

Furious, Leng Shu no longer held back, unleashing the Earth Xuan Saint Technique!

Sturdy golden pillars of light descended from the sky, landing in front of Wu Hen and forming a solid prison like the Light Palace, entrapping him within its barrier.

After the significant enhancement in his Cultivation, Leng Shu's Earth Xuan Saint Technique was even more powerful. These pillars were inscribed with clear runes, making the Holy Light as solid as the Golden Crystal Holy Stones.

After trapping Wu Hen, Leng Shu didn't cease the execution of Magic Formulas. He conjured a Totem Spell that transformed into countless massive thorned implements of torture, assailing Wu Hen within his prison.

Wu Hen took a deep breath and struck the golden light prison with his palm. The ripple from his palm power easily shattered the runic prison, also crushing the thorned instruments that had yet to descend.

"Even street magicians have more creativity than you." Wu Hen displayed an attitude of disdain, then once again flashed in front of Leng Shu.

These moves by Leng Shu were too superficial.

Compared to the Divine Power baptism Wu Hen received in the Mountain and River Realm, they were like artificial rain versus an apocalyptic deluge. Even without Little Yi's assistance, Wu Hen could easily cope!

"Crack!"

He gripped Leng Shu's index finger tightly and applied force, breaking it!

Pain crossed Leng Shu's face, and coupled with the already flattened nose from Wu Hen's previous blows, his face looked somewhat distorted.

He hastily retreated, lifting his hand to find his finger bent like a broken sapling, never to stand upright again.

"They say you need to Cross Tribulation before Ascension... It seems I am the Heavenly Tribulation you cannot pass," Wu Hen spoke with a smile. "After all ten fingers are broken, there will be your limbs' joints to deal with, no rush, we'll take it slowly."

Leng Shu again unleashed the Earth Xuan Saint Technique. He still had more of the Earth Xuan Saint Technique to reveal, now transforming into an Earth Dark Lion and even using the Holy Breath Dragon Roar.

But after the exceptionally dominant Saint Techniques, Wu Hen was unscathed, whereas Leng Shu's pinky fingers were again broken by Wu Hen.

All the onlookers could tell that Wu Hen could have dealt Leng Shu a hefty blow after shattering his Saint Techniques, yet he chose to proceed with steps that were less damaging and immensely insulting.

Breaking a single finger of the Human Emperor might still be put down to luck.

Breaking three in a row, that was pure suppression of strength!

The hearts of the Holy Sect officials, great and small, within Tongtian City, wavered. They suddenly realized that even if one cultivated to Leng Shu's realm, revered as the Human Emperor, one still feels pain and cries out, fears injury, rages when insulted, and seemingly looks no different than the Beasts outside—powerless roaring and screaming, without the true ability to resist.

Finally, after six fingers were broken, Leng Shu realized that he had to call upon Totems for assistance!

Leng Shu thought that with his recent explosive increase in cultivation, he had significantly outpaced the opponent and could easily crush the enemy before him without invoking the Thunder God Qilin.

After repeated setbacks, Leng Shu suddenly roared in anger and released his Holy Soul!

With the Manifestation of the Holy Soul, an incredibly domineering Thunder God Qilin emerged behind Leng Shu, and his Totem Bloodline was fully revitalized, making Leng Shu's body seem to be covered in Qilin Armor. Every tiny movement was endowed with the Supreme Thunder Power!

"This is the Soul Casting of the Human Emperor, that's the Thunder God Qilin!"

The Thunder God Qilin was truly mighty. Once it appeared in Tongtian City, the vast expanse of the city was as if the Thunder God himself had descended, angrily peering down at these mundane ants.

"Once the Holy Soul is released, the power of all Magic Formulas increases several-fold, and if it's the Thunder God Qilin, it might be ten times stronger than the ordinary Holy Decision!"

"Just because of forging such an Ancient Totem, one's strength can be elevated to a realm completely unattainable to others!"

Ever since Leng Shu successfully forged his soul, his own Holy Cultivation had already left all other Holy Cultivation members far behind. Even without presenting his Holy Soul, he could handle situations with ease.

And this was also the first time he displayed his Holy Soul in front of everybody, broadening the horizons of countless cultivators in Tongtian City.

In fact, many Holy Cultivation Disciples didn't even know what Soul Casting was. For the vast majority of them, possessing Holy Golden Blood was already an exceptionally prominent realm.

Not everyone can forge a Holy Soul, it is one in ten thousand among Holy Cultivators.

Moreover, the totem Leng Shu had forged was the highest-level Ancient Totem, the Qilin, the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Beasts, which even among those who had ascended in the Cloud Holy Country had an exceptional standing.

"This Thunder God Qilin, do you recognize it, hahaha!" Leng Shu laughed wildly, overturning his previous aura of defeat.

Back then, Wu Hen also expended immense effort and didn't subdue the Ancient Qilin, which ultimately became Leng Shu's wedding dress.

Wu Hen stood there, corners of his mouth lifting up too.

He didn't say much, just chose from his own Soul Abyss a Holy Soul that also bore the form of a Qilin.

"I know you've also forged your soul, but how can you compare with me?" Leng Shu continued to release the radiance of his Holy Soul.

The majestic Thunder God Qilin, fully integrated with Leng Shu, proceeded to step towards Wu Hen with extreme arrogance, its Heavenly Hoof carrying the power of annihilation!

Apart from that Dragon-Robe Celestial Official, all other Holy Cultivators were blown away, regardless of their realm or cultivation; they simply couldn't withstand this tier of energy spillage. The shockwave of the Heavenly Hoof that reached them had already been diminished dozens of times, yet it was still powerful enough to crush them.

In fact, during the confrontation between Wu Hen and Leng Shu, all officials from the Holy Sect had started to evacuate the area. They moved away at full speed but couldn't escape the range of energy spreading from the two geniuses. The space seemed to form an expanding vortex towards the horizon, dragging everything toward its destructive center.

"Run now, he's going to display his Holy Soul too, and when that happens, the resulting annihilation storm will be even larger. You barely skilled creatures will struggle to survive!" The Dragon-Robe Celestial Official, glanced at the soul light on Wu Hen and immediately realized this man was also a Supreme Totem Soul Forger.

The exchange had already caused collateral damage. Many Human Officials and Earth Officials had perished, and it was about to get even more terrible.

Suddenly, the center of Tongtian City seemed to have two furious Thunder Volcanoes appear. Each surge was a catastrophic disaster, rendering these Holy Sect Practitioners no different from creatures scurrying under natural disasters.

Finally, Wu Hen's Holy Soul manifested!

It was a Jade Emperor Qilin, with its lightning whiskers prancing, forming chains of Heavenly Lightning striking across heaven and earth.

The Jade Emperor Qilin wielded Divine Thunder as well.

When the deluge of thunder unleashed by the Thunder God Qilin surged towards Wu Hen, the Jade Emperor Qilin opened its mouth wide, summoning a Wilderness Thunder Mountain that heavily crashed down onto Leng Shu and his Thunder God Qilin, switching his extremely arrogant demeanor to one groveling in the dirt, his face pressed against the earth!

All the Thunder Power of the Thunder God Qilin shattered, while only the Jade Emperor Qilin's Thunder River and Thunder Mountain appeared in the eyes of the people as a mythical apocalypse, terrifying in the extreme.

People could hardly make out what Wu Hen's Holy Soul was. They knew only it was as towering as a Divine being, also wielding Heavenly Thunder, one that gave an inkling of the Qilin's outline, yet they dared not confirm.

The Thunder God Qilin itself had turned into a little dog before a majestic lion, burying its head in the ground, not daring to meet the Jade Emperor Qilin's gaze.

And Leng Shu, too, could not clearly see what Wu Hen's Holy Soul was. He was oppressed under the Wilderness Thunder Mountain, his body feeling the weight of ten thousand mountains, his head unable to raise due to the fear instilled by the Holy Soul.

"You don't even have the right to look up at my Holy Soul."

"All ten of your fingers are broken. Now it's time for your limbs."

"Qingxi Sister is blind now, so I need to make you scream loud enough!"

With that said, Wu Hen lifted a foot, and at the same time, the Jade Emperor Qilin Holy Soul's Heavenly Hoof rose too. It then transformed into a bone-piercing Thunder Power and brutally stomped down on Leng Shu's limbs!!

His limbs were ground into bone dust, an excruciatingly painful process. For a moment, the thunderous roar of Tongtian City was silenced, replaced by the pained screams of their beloved Human Emperor Leng Shu echoing in the city and reaching the Cloud Peak!

In the Cloud Holy Country there were Holy Gods, they only heard the screaming but didn't know what had happened.

Some more open-minded Holy Gods were secretly astonished. The new Human Emperor had a rather unique desire for torment, indulging in self-inflicted pain, indeed addictive. They couldn't understand but respected it.
