Cultivation: I Have a Skill Level Panel

Chapter 148 - 82: Celestial Thunder Qilin

As Gu Yun’s fame began to spread,

word got out that he had cleared six floors of the Profound Celestial Trial Tower with incredible speed and was now challenging the seventh!

This inevitably attracted numerous Inner Sect Disciples to the Trial Tower, all wanting to admire Gu Yun, the new prodigy of the Profound Celestial List.

At this moment,

in the bustling area around the Trial Tower, which was packed with a sea of people and streaked with countless rays of light from arriving cultivators,

Xu Biao stared up at the shimmering light of the Profound Celestial Trial Tower’s seventh floor,

his face as grim as if he’d just eaten shit.

’How could I have been such a fucking idiot?’

’How dare I provoke a prodigy like him?!’

The Profound Celestial Trial Tower primarily tested one’s combat power.

Reaching the seventh floor,

meant he had cleared the sixth,

defeating thirty-two Red Flame Puppets of the same Realm!

How many people in the entire Inner Sect of the Profound Celestial Sect could fight thirty-two opponents of the same Realm?

You could count them on one hand.

And every single one of them was a monster who dominated the Inner Sect!

Even in the outside world,

they were top-tier True Martial Realm powerhouses who could be said to dominate the Eastern Profound Domain! Every one of them had the potential to reach the Tongxuan Realm!

’If he passes the seventh floor, that would be even more Heaven-Defying!’

"Sigh!"

Xu Biao’s face suddenly clouded over with misery.

’I was just asking for it!’

’Provoking a monster like that for no reason at all.’

"Step right up, step right up!"

"Place your bets! Place your bets!"

"Bet on whether Gu Yun can clear the seventh floor! Ten-to-one odds!"

"There’s no way Gu Yun can pass the seventh floor! A true master is guarding it!"

"I bet he won’t pass! Two thousand Spirit Stones!"

"Tsk tsk, isn’t that what you said before Senior Brother Gu even reached the sixth floor? And what happened?"

the middle-aged Cultivator Ji Ba, who had a handlebar mustache, said with an air of righteousness.

"Eighth Master,

you know as well as I do,

that this is different..."

"I also bet he won’t pass!

One thousand Spirit Stones!"

Ji Ba declared, his voice ringing with conviction.

"Heh, you’re really something else..."

the Tall and Thin Cultivator with a rat-like mustache and gleaming eyes said with a hint of mockery.

"Hey, little brother!

You don’t get it, do you?

Who would turn their nose up at Spirit Stones?"

the middle-aged Cultivator with the handlebar mustache said to him shamelessly.

"Indeed!"

"So... I’m also betting that Gu Yun won’t pass!"

"Ten thousand Spirit Stones!!" the Tall and Thin Cultivator finally shouted, his eyes flashing.

"Heh!"

"I thought you were above all this...

but in the end, you still bow for Spirit Stones."

Ji Ba shot the Tall and Thin Cultivator a contemptuous glance.

...

Gu Yun was completely unaware of all this happening in the outside world.

On a vast, boundless plain, two figures flickered in and out of existence in the void.

From time to time, the surrounding void erupted with violent explosions, the terrifying sounds echoing between heaven and earth.

The space around them roiled and trembled like a boundless, raging sea.

BANG!

After they clashed,

Gu Yun shot back like a bolt of lightning, creating distance between them.

The young man in the white robe was now in a sorry state. His clothes were tattered and blood-soaked, with more blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.

In contrast, Hong Zhenyang’s bare upper body only bore a few faint slash marks. His Physique was immensely powerful, as if forged from the world’s finest steel, and with his black hair whipping wildly, he looked every bit an invincible War God!

Clearly,

Gu Yun was at a disadvantage in his fight against Hong Zhenyang. His opponent’s attack, defense, reflexes, and speed were all maxed out!

He had no discernible weaknesses whatsoever!

BOOM!

Before Gu Yun could even gather his thoughts, several pillars of flame, blazing with brilliant light and trailing long tails like meteors, tore through the void and blasted toward him!

Gu Yun’s eyes narrowed. His body moved like lightning, transforming into a bolt of thunder as his figure vanished abruptly.

He left only an afterimage in his place!

SWOOSH!

In a mere instant, the pillars of flame with their meteor-like tails pierced through Gu Yun’s afterimage, incinerating it completely.

Then they smashed straight into the plains below!

BANG!

They instantly gouged out several hundred-zhang-deep craters, the terrifying residual flames scorching the surrounding land to ashes.

At that moment,

Gu Yun hovered high in the sky. Faint purple lightning swirled in his ink-black eyes, and in an instant, arcs of Purple Thunder flooded his vision, covering his eyes completely until they resembled a deep and terrifying sea of thunder!

He raised a hand and clenched his fist toward the void.

RUMBLE!!

Boundless thunder descended, tearing through the void amidst a deafening roar, seemingly forming a Thunder Domain!

Gu Yun stood at the center of the Thunder Domain. In a flash of lightning,

he looked just like a Thunder True God. As his hair bristled, his aura surged to another level!

Hong Zhenyang stood in the void, his eyes fixed on Gu Yun’s transformation, his heart trembling with even greater shock.

’This guy still has cards up his sleeve,’

’His aura is quite astonishing!’ Hong Zhenyang thought to himself.

Even back when he was in the True Martial Realm, at the same level as Gu Yun, he probably couldn’t have done any better!

The only reason he had been completely suppressing Gu Yun

was because he was originally in the Tongxuan Realm.

There was a qualitative difference between it and the True Martial Realm, like the gap between heaven and earth.

He was now just a projection in the Trial Tower with his Realm suppressed.

Even so, with his top-down perspective, born from his mastery of Daoist Techniques and comprehension of a Mental Realm, none of his opponent’s movements could escape his eyes!

Moreover, his combat experience, Spiritual Sense, Physique, and so on were all far superior to an ordinary cultivator of the same Realm.

But even then,

the kid opposite him had been able to trade blows, even if he was covered in injuries now.

There was no denying his opponent’s monstrous talent.

At this thought,

an invisible might radiated from Hong Zhenyang, blasting out in all directions. The surrounding void roiled like a boundless tsunami with crashing, turbulent waves!

From a distance,

Hong Zhenyang’s figure, standing tall in the void, seemed to be suppressing the entire world!

At the same time,

the sky above became covered in dark clouds, like a stampede of ten million black-armored cavalry. The inky black sky looked as if it was about to collapse.

RUMBLE!

An unending series of thunderous roars rang out, radiating a brilliant light that illuminated the world!

Within the boundless Thunder Domain, lightning continuously tore through the void.

Gu Yun, at its center, seemed to have transformed into a colossal Thunder True God that touched the heavens. His Purple Thunder Gaze seemed to contain an entire sea of thunder—deep, terrifying, and incredibly oppressive!

The next moment,

Gu Yun formed a seal with one hand,

his voice seeming to carry the awesome might of the heavens!

"Celestial Thunder Qilin!"

All the thunder beneath the roiling dark clouds condensed into a massive, several-hundred-zhang-tall Thunderous Qilin.

It radiated an incomparably terrifying might,

as if it were a great tribulation of heavenly thunder, about to descend and carry out Celestial Punishment on behalf of the heavens!

In the next instant,

"ROAR!"

The terrifyingly massive Thunderous Qilin let out a roar that shook the heavens and the earth.

Then it tore through space, like a bolt of thunderous Celestial Punishment,

with unstoppable Thunderous Momentum,

and surged toward Hong Zhenyang to devour him!

Facing this move,

a grave look appeared in Hong Zhenyang’s eyes.

’Even I,’

’have to admit that the kid across from me is a true monster!’

’This Thunderous Qilin, condensed from the boundless lightning,’

’actually contains a faint trace of Thunder True Intent!’

’He’s accomplished this already?’

’He’s already touched upon the Thunder Realm!’

’What are the countless True Martial Realm Cultivators who fail to even grasp Momentum in their entire lives supposed to think?’

"Kid, you are truly impressive!"

"I grant you my highest respect!"

Hong Zhenyang’s voice, filled with immense power, rolled across the world.

He looked up at the sky,

at the Thunderous Qilin that was surging toward him to devour him!

A fiery light flashed in Hong Zhenyang’s eyes.

His pupils blazed like two suns, burning with boundless, furious flames!

An extremely terrifying aura erupted from his entire body.

"Nine Flames Celestial Pillar!"

In an instant,

the world seemed to erupt like a volcano as the void was suddenly engulfed in scorching-hot temperatures!
