Cultivation: Fortune by Lots

However, Consort Yang Jinming’s whereabouts were now unknown.

She saw Lei Jun and immediately retreated.

But she didn’t leave; instead, she avoided Lei Jun and circled to the other side of the Vajra Temple Ruins, intending to sneak in.

Unfortunately, the ground beneath her feet was soon covered by a sea of emerald green flames.

The Nine Abyss True Fire soared into the sky, intimidating all directions, isolating Consort Yang Jinming and others outside, and coalescing into a colossal fire tiger, as large as a small mountain.

At the same time, the pitch-black Yin Thunder Dragon silently emerged, blocking a High Merit Elder of the Eighth Heavenly Layer from the Three Springs Palace, who was also a Taoist cultivator.

The other party attempted to rely on the protection of a powerful Nascent Soul Transformation Great Elixir from the Alchemy Cauldron Sect, enduring the bombardment of the Xuanxiao Immortal Thunder, and charged into the Vajra Temple Ruins.

The person’s strength was formidable; although the Nascent Soul Transformation Great Elixir was gnawed at by the Yin Thunder Dragon, revealing signs of damage, he still struggled forward.

Until a deafening roar rang out from the sky again!

Fiery lights of crimson and gold descended from the sky like falling stars, heavily striking the elder from the Three Springs Palace.

Despite his powerful Nascent Soul Transformation Great Elixir, he was knocked to the ground at this moment.

The surrounding people were astonished to see that it was a huge fire tiger.

This fire tiger, however, was wreathed in blazing flames, burning resplendently like stars, with vigorous and intense power.

The tiger’s claws firmly pinned the elder from the Three Springs Palace to the ground.

This was yet another Dharma Image Lei Jun had cultivated.

Chenyang Midheaven Talisman.

Heavenly Chen Flame Ancestor Dharma.

Yang Fire Tiger.

At this moment, a purple Yang Thunder Dragon, a green Yin Fire Tiger, a black Yin Thunder Dragon, and a crimson-gold Yang Fire Tiger, the four great Dharma Images, occupied the four corners of the Vajra Temple Ruins, making it impossible for the onlookers to take a single step forward.

"Plus the Destiny Star God... five? An Eighth Heavenly Layer Taoist cultivator from the Talisman Sect, who simultaneously cultivated the five great Dharma Images?!" Consort Yang Jinming was first stunned, then greatly shocked.

Morning Sun Dry was similarly astonished, turning his head to look at Master Wanglang beside him, only to see a look of shock and confusion on his face, no less than his own.

Not to mention the enemies, even the Great Tang cultivators pursuing and clearing from the rear, who arrived one after another, were taken aback to see this from a distance.

"Has Celestial Master Lei already reached the Ninth Heavenly Layer in cultivation? If it’s only the Eighth Heavenly Layer and he’s got the five great Dharma Images, then... this surely breaks new ground, with no precedence in history!" Zhang Ziyin stood beside her father, Prince Changshan Zhang Junhai.

Zhang Junhai snapped out of his trance: "Indeed, this has set a precedent for the Talisman Sect cultivators of the Taoist tradition, something never seen before!"

Similarly shocked was Jiang Cheng, the elder from the Three Springs Palace.

But at this moment, he was more concerned about the Yang Fire Tiger pressing down on him.

Jiang Cheng’s figure suddenly swelled, employing the Three Springs Palace’s ultimate skill, Rushing Sky Qi, to push open the Yang Fire Tiger’s claws.

From afar, Lei Jun waved his hand.

The Xuánxiāo Five Thunder Talisman shone alongside the Chenyang Midheaven Talisman.

The next moment, the black Yin Thunder Dragon and the crimson red Yang Fire Tiger roared in unison, one deep, one resonant.

The black Yin Thunder intertwined with the crimson red Thunder Fire, weaving together amidst the Dragon’s Chant and Tiger’s Roar to form a Yin Yang Taiji Diagram merging black and crimson gold.

Gazing upon this Yin Yang Taiji Diagram, Jiang Cheng and others felt an ominous premonition in their hearts.

The terrifying light stream from the Dragon-Tiger Strike then descended, striking Jiang Cheng.

Amidst Jiang Cheng’s screams, he hurriedly formed a Nascent Soul Transformation Great Elixir, yet cracks immediately began to surface on its facade.

After a brief stupefaction, Consort Yang Jinming turned and fled without hesitation!

Unfortunately, it was still too late.

The emerald green Yin Fire Tiger and the purple Yang Thunder Dragon also intertwined at this moment into a Yin Yang Taiji Diagram.

With the rotation of the purple and green Yin Yang Taiji Diagram, strong light erupted similarly from within.

A beam of light immediately encompassed Consort Yang Jinming.

Compared to Jiang Cheng, the Elder from the Three Springs Palace with a Nascent Soul Transformation Great Elixir, Consort Yang Jinming, without the protection of the Red Lotus, was in a dire state, her vibrant visage swiftly turning skeletal!

Morning Sun Dry and Master Wanglang were equally shocked.

The former, like Jiang Cheng, had only heard of this great divine skill of the Talisman Sect in ancient times, never directly witnessed it.

The latter knew of the formidable power of Dragon-Tiger Strike.

But he had never imagined that someone could single-handedly master and cultivate two entirely different Dragon-Tiger Strikes.

Just at this moment, above the Vajra Temple Ruins, a purple-green and a black-red Yin Yang Taiji Diagram hung high, like two suns in the sky.

As the Taiji Diagram rotated, strong beams of light radiated from within.

One swept clock-wise.

The other swept counter-clock-wise.

The two powerful light streams, wherever they passed, felled a massive number of Three Springs Palace cultivators, Solitary Eagle Khanate remnants, and Western Region Buddhist Sect disciples like wheat!

The converging streams of light ultimately joined forces, jointly attacking Morning Sun Dry and Master Wanglang.

Morning Sun Dry, instead of retreating, advanced, attacking Lei Jun, determined to fight to the death.

But Lei Jun, clad in the Doumu Star Divine Skill, raised his giant palm, blocking Morning Sun Dry’s fist.

The next moment, the light flow of the dual Dragon-Tiger Strike focused on Morning Sun Dry.

Like a torrential flood, he was instantly engulfed.

The flood then continued to surge forward, engulfing the fleeing Master Wanglang.

The intersecting, terrifying beams of light then parted, like a giant pair of scissors, shredding the body of the Sumi Vajra Division Eighth Heavenly Layer adept in two!

The interspersed light continued to sweep across all directions, directly obliterating weaker enemies in its path.

The remnants of the Solitary Eagle Khanate fleeing from the east halted in their tracks, watching in shock at the world ahead, akin to a forbidden zone of life.

Even the Great Tang cultivators pursuing them slowed down in awe, gaping at the scene before them.

The Vajra Temple Ruins, previously turned into a field of death, was once again drenched in blood all around.

In the center of the ruins stood an unstable three-tiered Altar, shaking on its own.

But the tall Taoist standing in front of the Altar remained as steady as Mount Tai.

Between the motionless posture and the shaking Altar, there appeared a strange harmony.
