Kaboom!
The deafening thunder made their ears buzz, ringing loudly.
They were dumbfounded, shocked by the outrageously thick lightning bolt.
There was a saying, ‘swift and skinny like a lightning bolt’. The saying was false because apparently, lightning bolts could be thick, too.
The lightning bolt drowned the buff man like a tidal wave. Everyone could only see white, plus a small shadow of the buff man. They literally felt thunderstruck.
‘So thick. This is too much. I can’t handle this.’
“Argh—”
Then, they heard a painful scream.
“Chaos… Chaos Thunderbolt?!”
The others felt the hint of the aura and they were petrified. They backed off.
They could not believe their eyes.
The Area of the Gods was created by the Chaos Thunderbolt. ‘But… How is it possible that we just witnessed another Chaos Thunderbolt?!’
‘That’s a Chaos Thunderbolt!’
If Natural Punishment was the highest form of punishment, then being punished by the Chaos Thunderbolt was a Chaos Natural Punishment. It was terrifying!
After all… It was something that could split the Chaos apart!
It could easily kill a Chaos Daluo Golden Immortal. It was something that even Realm Cultivators were afraid of.
They all seemed frozen in place. The powerful rumbling of the thunder kept going.
Gradually… They smelled something burnt.
Everyone slowly recovered from being blinded as the lightning bolt faded away. The strong buff cultivator was no longer there. The replacement was a huge black Elephant that laid peacefully on the floor. His body was smoking with charred flesh. He looked burnt.
“Yikes—”
The outsiders gasped at the same time and backed away again. They were petrified.
The buff cultivator was reckless and arrogant for a reason. He was not a weak cultivator amongst Chaos Daluo Golden Immortals. He could even be a leader, too.
The outsiders were not his allies, but in a way, they were with him. They were all there to diminish the power of the Heavenly Palace. They were there to figure out the truth.
However, the buff cultivator probably did not expect that his ejaculation on the door would turn him into barbequed meat.
It was too out of the blue. He died too unexpectedly.
‘This…this…’
They had to look at the Jade Emperor and the others.
The Jade Emperor and the others looked calm, as if they already saw it coming. They kind of looked mysterious, too. It was like they were saying, ‘He deserved it.’
Truthfully, they were also shocked. They did not expect that the expert upgraded again. The Palace of the Deluxe Merit Saint upgraded its Natural Punishment to Chaos Thunderbolt.
‘Awesome.’
However, they were used to it. They were able to adapt in a short time.
The Jade Emperor sighed. He looked at them with pity and said, “We told you so. You cannot trespass the Palace of the Deluxe Merit Saint, but you wouldn’t listen. Can’t you try to stay alive?”
Somebody asked with uneasiness, “What happened? Why did it attract the Chaos Thunderbolt?”
Goddess Nuwa smiled and said, “We told you. Right? The Deluxe Merit Saint. Try to process that title, everyone!”
Somebody gasped. They asked with a trembling voice, “Does the Deluxe Merit Saint own the Area of the Gods? Is it possible to have a Deluxe Merit Saint in the Area of the Gods?”
“It’s not entirely impossible. But there are no previous records of this.” Somebody frowned and said, “I can’t believe that the Deluxe Merit Saint from the Area of the Gods can use a Chaos Thunderbolt as Natural Punishment.”
“We can’t mess with him. We can’t mess with him at all.”
“More importantly… That buff Elephant cultivator hit the door. Right? Hitting the door counts as trespassing, too?”
“It’s probably a special case in the Area of the Gods. We just… Can’t mess with him.”
Everyone was petrified. They looked at the Palace of the Deluxe Merit Saint and shuddered. They felt a chill go down their spines. It was too scary.
At that moment, they were no longer powerful cultivators. They became a bunch of ordinary cultivators that were scared of sudden thunderbolts that would fall from the sky. They were scared of being electrocuted.
The Jade Emperor genuinely said, “To be honest, we were trying to protect you just now. Why can’t you understand our kindness? Who else wants to forcefully enter the place? Feel free to try for yourselves.”
“Fine. Since it’s the Palace of the Deluxe Merit Saint, we shall obey the rules. We came here to get familiar with you locals. From today onward, our Tianluo Sect will be in the Area of the Gods!”
“That’s right. We already drank the wine. From now on, let’s do things based on our capabilities. Let’s look after one another.”
“Farewell!”
The Jade Emperor and the others waved them farewell. “Safe travels, everyone. Come again next time.”
The Empress went serious after sending off the unwelcome guests. She looked at the dead body of the Elephant and said, “Hurry up. Don’t delay. Send this meat to the expert!”
Soon, the presence of the Deluxe Merit Saint in the Area of the Gods caused a huge buzz.
“What?! The Area of the Gods was not created by the Chaos? How did someone get the Deluxe Merit Flesh?”
“Not sure, but according to reliable sources and accurate theories, the Area of the Gods is a new world created by the Eldritch World, and the Deluxe Merit Saint belongs to the Eldritch World.”
“So… The Deluxe Merit Saint of the Eldritch World’s also the Deluxe Merit Saint of the Area of the Gods?”
“That’s right. It’s the most sound theory.”
“Gosh! That guy’s so freaking lucky. If that’s the case, is he protected by the Chaos Thunderbolt? Who would dare mess with him?!”
“Sigh. Anything’s possible in the Chaos. No one truly understands the Area of the Gods. All I can say is, he’s a lucky one chosen by the Chaos.”
“He straight-up hit the jackpot! So lucky! I’m so envious that I’m going to cry. Boohoo…”
“Damn, luck beats hard work? I’m going to have a freaking breakdown!”
Most were jealous and envious. However, a lot of them were extremely horrified.
“Hitting a door activates the Deluxe Merit Flesh, too? Is that even possible? Is that fair?”
“He’s a curse! A bad omen! Avoid him as much as you can.”
“Be careful from now on, everyone. If you offend the Deluxe Merit Saint, don’t blame me for banishing you from our sect!”
…
Meanwhile, the Jade Emperor and Cultivator Junjun carried that huge black Elephant to the Fallen Immortal Mountain.
Cultivator Junjun was nervous about his first visit.
They arrived at the door of the four-part architecture. He hurriedly adjusted his clothes. Then, he looked at the Jade Emperor and said, “Jade Emperor, go and knock on the door. You must be tired from carrying the Elephant. Leave it to me.”
Then, he snatched the black Elephant from the shoulders of the Jade Emperor without a second thought. He placed it on his shoulders. He looked like he was travel-worn in the blink of an eye.
The Jade Emperor was dumbfounded.
Knock knock.
“Is the Deluxe Merit Saint at home?”
Li Nianfan could be heard from within, “Yes. Push the door open and come in.”
Creak.
The Jade Emperor and Cultivator Junjun carefully stepped into the room. Chaos Spiritual Qi washed over Cultivator Junjun. He instantly shut his eyes and enjoyed the moment.
‘Is this the scent of a bigshot?’
“Yo, just come and visit. Why did you bring a gift for me?”
Li Nianfan immediately saw the huge black Elephant. Then, he saw a scrawny old man with a white beard underneath the Elephant. It was very visually impactful because of the ratio contrast.
However, the elder looked strong. He smiled at Li Nianfan.
“I wonder, you’re…?”
“Lord Saint, I’m Cultivator Junjun. Sorry for the uninvited visit.”
Cultivator Junjun said, “This Elephant tried to start a fight at the Heavenly Palace. We can’t let good meat go to waste, so we came here to give it to you, Lord Saint.”
“Haha, thanks.”
Li Nianfan laughed. He complimented, “Such a buff Elephant. The meat must be rare and delicious. You’re right, it would’ve been such a waste! You made the right choice to bring it here. Place it on an empty spot.”
“Oh, alright!”
Cultivator Junjun nodded. Then, he took out a Jade Piece and passed it to Li Nianfan. He smiled and said, “I didn’t make it to your wedding, Lord Saint. I truly am sorry about that. Please, don’t reject my belated wedding gift.”
The knowledgeable Jade Emperor looked at the Jade Piece and had to stop breathing. His face froze up.
‘The Fortune Jade Piece!
‘That’s the Fortune Jade Piece!
‘This is Hongjun’s personal treasure! It’s also his origin treasure as a cultivator!’
It was a Chaos Spiritual Treasure. It was a flawed Chaos Spiritual Treasure.
However, it was one of the best treasures of the Eldritch World for sure.
Most importantly, the Three Thousand Wisdom was recorded there. It was like a cheat item for cultivators. It was more valuable than any treasure!
Of course, at the four-part architecture of the expert, he was not shocked at how valuable the Jade Piece was. He was more shocked at Cultivator Junjun.
‘He just gave away his personal treasure without blinking. Truly the Master. So ruthless!
‘No wonder this ruthless cultivator’s so successful.’
Li Nianfan curiously looked at the Fortune Jade Piece. He instantly had a weird look. He said in a surprised tone, “Is this… A disk?”
