Cultivation: Fortune by Lots

He remained expressionless.

But the intertwining purple and green Yin Yang Taiji Diagram unraveled, reshaping into a Yang Thunder Dragon and a Yin Fire Tiger.

The Yang Thunder Dragon ascended, soaring above the Nine Heavens, swiftly spreading vast purple thunderclouds.

Amidst the crackling thunder, streaks of purple lightning descended from the sky, transforming into a torrential downpour composed entirely of Nine Heavens Divine Thunder.

The thunderous rain covered the entire Vajra Temple, seemingly bombing it, causing ancient temple structures akin to interconnected palaces to explode and catch fire everywhere.

The Yin Fire Tiger delved downward, directly into the ground and disappeared.

But the earth began to tremble and quake, collapsing continually.

Where it caved in, a verdant sea of fire emerged, engulfing everything and everyone it touched within its range.

The patches of fire spread in all directions, becoming denser until they gradually merged into a whole.

Disciples of Vajra Temple, regardless of their cultivation levels, fell en masse under the thunder and flames.

The temple’s buildings, magic artifacts, and collections turned into ashes and smoke.

Master Gongbu found himself overwhelmed, backed into continuous defenses by Lei Jun’s barrage of strikes.

Knowing he could not sit idle waiting for doom, he forcibly activated the Inner Lion Seal, strengthening his control and barely suppressing his injuries.

Then, a Tri-Cobalt Vajra Pestle, personally refined by him, appeared in his hand.

The real Tri-Cobalt Vajra Pestle united at that moment with the illusory Five-Cobalt Vajra Scepter formed by Master Gongbu at the Buddha Stupa Field.

The golden Buddha light turned cyan, the Vajra True Intent condensed to the extreme, unveiling the profoundness of immortality and aiding Master Gongbu to withstand an assault from Lei Jun’s Doumu Star God Dharma Image.

Then, the Vajra Pestle struck forward, counterattacking Lei Jun!

Lei Jun’s Divine Court Cosmos held strong within him; he neither dodged nor avoided it, also enduring the opponent’s attack head-on.

Back when the Solitary Eagle Khanate invaded for the second time, the traces of Sumi Vajra Division were yet to appear, hence information on Lei Jun’s confrontations with foreign masters like Mi Han and Zhuo Le was available from the Tang Imperial Court, revealing Lei Jun had once relied on the Celestial Master Robe to withstand assaults from these masters.

In that dire moment, Master Gongbu sought survival through struggle.

Seeing that Lei Jun’s body surface did not display nine-colored radiance, Master Gongbu rejoiced.

The Celestial Master Robe wasn’t on him?

Could it have been given to Tang Xiaotang to guard against the Vajra Sect Leader?

No time to worry about his own sect leader, Master Gongbu concentrated all his strength, thrusting the Vajra Pestle at Lei Jun’s chest.

A Vajra’s Essence is both impervious to harm and ruthlessly destructive.

Within the Five Sections of the Mount Sumeru Vajra World, the Vajra Division especially embodies the strength in both attack and defense.

However...

Despite the violent trembling of cyan light, though it did not dissipate, the Vajra Pestle failed to pierce through Lei Jun’s chest.

Master Gongbu stared in disbelief.

In terms of combative agility, he indeed may not match up to the likes of Mi Han at the same realm, especially as he was injured at present.

Yet the Taoist from the Talisman Faction in front of him, without using the Celestial Master Robe, endured his full-powered strike?

On what grounds?

Could it be that this Lei surnamed had also cultivated the Great Elixir of the Alchemy Cauldron Sect?

In his astonishment, while missing his blow, Master Gongbu inadvertently positioned himself right in front of Lei Jun.

Lei Jun raised his hand and struck, employing the Doumu Star God Dharma Image to smash Master Gongbu’s skull directly into his cavity!

The monk’s injuries prevented him from maintaining the defense, all his Vajra True Intent had concentrated wholly on the preceding life-or-death strike.

Missing the strike meant losing his defense, unable to withstand Lei Jun’s attacks any longer.

At the same time, the Yang Thunder Dragon and Yin Fire Tiger continued their havoc unabated.

The Vajra Temple, once one of the Four Sacred Grounds of the Great Tang’s Buddhist Sect, now seemed as if in the cataclysmic age of Dharma’s end.

The remaining monks finally could resist no longer, fleeing in all directions.

Lei Jun watched indifferently, without distinction.

While dealing with Master Gongbu and Elder Ge Luo, he made a gesture in the void.

Thus numerous Fine Gold Sword Pellets emerged, floating and scattered in mid-air.

As his cultivation advanced, only things like the Celestial Master’s Sword or Seven-Star Sword could withstand his mana and serve as his "ammunition."

But at the moment, it was unnecessary to use such bigshots to swat flies.

The small ones are enough.

Lowering the power a bit, the destructive force is still ample.

But this way, usable magic artifacts increased.

Around Lei Jun’s body, a massive amount of invisible Primordial Magnet Force had long been densely arrayed.

That Suoyang and others could not communicate with the outside world was because he had already unfolded an unimaginably vast Magnetosword Realm covering the area.

Within the realm, Lei Jun’s Magnetosword Pellets floated in suspension.

The next moment, a dense buzzing like the hum of bees sounded.

Numerous Magnetosword Pellets suddenly disappeared from their spots.

In the next instant, they appeared in all directions, each claiming a life.

"Ah...mood slightly improved." Lei Jun shook his head gently.

He still had other important matters waiting to be attended to.

First, he stabilized the Celestial Master Seal and blocked the Void Gateway, yet left a glimmer of hope for breakthroughs from the other side.

Lei Jun then proceeded to roughly clear traces from here while extracting two black Lotus Platforms.

Two identical Nine-Ranked Eclipse Lotus Seats at this moment, one above the other, one upright one inverted, intertwined and superimposed.

Lei Jun then unfurled a formation map resembling a Tai Chi pattern.

As the formation map expanded, its radiance instead dimmed, seemingly vanishing.

However, those two black Nine-Ranked Eclipse Lotus Seats together descended, as if merging into the invisible diagram.

And the Tai Chi patterned diagram, upon integration with the two intertwined black lotus seats, underwent changes, seemingly twisting and folding but in complete harmony.

At a glance until now, both had disappeared.

Lei Jun calmed his heart and mind, adjusting slowly.

At the same time, he turned to look beside him.

There stood a marvelous Buddha stupa like a transparent tower.

It was the Ritual Instrument for the Nine Consciousness Fantasy Time-Space arranged by the Vajra Sect Leader.

Feeling the radiant flow like water within it, Lei Jun understood why his recent fortune casting had displayed as it did.
