第三千四百九十三章 云中仙子

The path of cultivation was arduous, with every step requiring great effort. Advancing to the late-stage Tribulation Transcender stage not only required exceptional luck and talent but also a remarkable mental fortitude.

Elder Thunder Cloud, while not outstanding among his peers, had reached an exalted realm that could not be overlooked. In the Three Realms, throughout history and legend, he was indeed rare as phoenix feathers or unicorn horns.

A late-stage Tribulation Transcender's outburst should never be underestimated. Even the puppet controlled by the Heavenly Demon Sword struggled to withstand his assault for a moment.

Surrounding Elder Thunder Cloud were dazzling electric arcs, flickering and crackling incessantly. He appeared like the thunder god descending upon the world.

His moves were grand and sweeping. The wolf's fang club he wielded was an extraordinary treasure, turning a thousand-mile radius into a barren wasteland with each strike.

The Heavenly Demon Sword could not withstand his direct assault either.

Electricity danced through the air as the primordial energy of heaven and earth became chaotic.

The blood beam struck Elder Thunder Cloud at an impossible angle but was deflected by sheer force.

"Evil beast, I will avenge Firecloud Immortal!"

A thunderous cry echoed in the ears. Elder Thunder Cloud's wolf's fang club swung wildly, its speed as swift as lightning, scattering the blood light before vanishing into the electric glow.

Thunderevasion technique!

The red-robed woman was right there, her appearance unchanged but now a mere shell controlled by the Heavenly Demon Sword.

Elder Thunder Cloud hesitated for an instant, then his eyes hardened. Tears welled up in his eyes as he swung his wolf's fang club with unhesitating force.

Boom!

Blood splattered as this woman turned to dust under the power of the treasure.

But the matter was not over. The Heavenly Demon Sword tried to dodge, moving left and right.

Elder Thunder Cloud would not let it escape; after all, that peculiar weapon was the culprit.

"Firecloud sister, I have avenged you."

With a mighty shout, Elder Thunder Cloud cast his hand seals, restraining space. Though he may not be adept at spatial laws, as an advanced Tribulation Transcender, he could still use them if he expended his true essence.

And now, how could he afford to hold back?

"Solidify the heavens and earth!"

With a loud cry from Elder Thunder Cloud, the air became thick and dense. It solidified like steel, slowing down the Heavenly Demon Sword's movements.

Elder Thunder Cloud was unaffected by this. His wolf's fang club rained down with relentless force.

Peng peng peng...

It struck the Heavenly Demon Sword repeatedly.

The blood beam flickered constantly. While the sword might be strange, its durability could not match heavy weaponry.

The ethereal light that had once been so brilliant dimmed visibly until it vanished entirely.

Without the ethereal light, the Heavenly Demon Sword revealed its true form—a peculiar shape but now resembling ordinary iron.

Elder Thunder Cloud did not stop. His wolf's fang club continued to strike relentlessly.

Bang bang...

Cracks appeared on the sword's surface before shattering into nothingness.

This treasure was utterly destroyed.

At the moment of the Heavenly Demon Sword's destruction, a scream echoed. It was Firecloud Immortal's spirit clone, along with Wanpo and Princess Wanjiao, all exploding simultaneously.

...

Huffing and puffing, Elder Poisonous sighed in relief. He had almost fallen here.

His gaze towards Elder Thunder Cloud now held more respect. Late-stage monsters were indeed formidable.

Princess Wanjiao also heaved a sigh of relief.

But at this moment, something unexpected happened.

Sigh!

A soft sigh resonated from the void. It was so sudden that everyone could hear it but no one knew its source.

Was it an illusion or real?

Several late-stage monsters, powerful dominators in their domains, exchanged glances.

How could such a thing happen to them?

"Who is playing tricks here? Show yourself!"

Elder Thunder Cloud roared. Though he had avenged Firecloud Immortal, the loss of his beloved still weighed heavily on him. His mood was foul as he pondered the situation.

That peculiar weapon had been destroyed; how could a new enemy appear?

Wait, weapon...

Thinking about that strange Heavenly Demon Sword, his expression turned serious. He looked around.

The Heavenly Demon Sword indeed shattered, leaving only its hilt lying on the ground.

A breeze blew, but no unusual phenomena were observed.

Was he overthinking it?

Elder Thunder Cloud scratched his head, puzzled.

But just then, the soft sigh sounded again. He could not have heard wrong; the direction was the same as the sword's hilt.

An ominous feeling arose in his heart. Elder Thunder Cloud turned around.

Space moved.

There was no spatial fluctuation, yet someone had crossed through the boundary and appeared here.

First a hand extended from the void, then a beautiful foot appeared in sight.

A woman emerged, her hair cascading like a waterfall.

What a stunning beauty! Her appearance was breathtaking, as if she walked with ease. She had crossed through space from another realm.

She exuded no vulgarity; she seemed like a celestial maiden descending to the mortal world.

Was this a heavenly immortal?

The late-stage monsters were momentarily stunned by her beauty and the god-like power that shattered space for them.

To wield such power so effortlessly was beyond their comprehension. Could she truly control spatial laws, second only to time?

"Who are you?"

Elder Thunder Cloud's mouth felt dry. He had experienced this tension before, when facing a scattered immortal or demon king.

Could her strength match the top existence in the Spirit Realm?

"I? I forgot who I am," the woman said as she combed her hair. "But I feel that someone here might recognize me."

She looked towards the distance where Lin Xuan had vanished.

If he were there, he would indeed recognize this woman—the former Cloud Immortal.

Qin Yan!
