Chapter 1047: The Supreme Realm

"Cough, cough!!"

"Cough, cough, cough!!!"

Dust got into everyone’s noses and mouths, and bouts of coughing followed.

Jiang Hanyi’s hair stood on end, looking as disheveled as a crow’s feathers, and his face turned black as coal.

As the heavy dust settled, everyone saw Jiang Hanyi’s embarrassing state.

This gentleman was filthy all over, his hair messy and flattened, and his face so pitch-black that his original appearance was unrecognizable.

"Pfft, hahaha..."

Yu Shuo was the first to laugh.

Everyone else, seeing his overturned image, also laughed heartily in spite of themselves.

Jiang Hanyi, feeling his body refined, experienced his spiritual power transforming into streams of pure energy, and the Golden Core within his Dantian was warm and gentle, with the surging power inside him eager to burst forth.

He stood among the peaks, feeling the vastness of the world, making the mountain he stood on seem insignificant.

He felt as though he was standing above all things, such an exalted sensation causing intense waves in his heart.

The feeling was exhilarating!

So exhilarating that he was on the verge of losing his mind.

"How do you feel?"

Gu Jin stepped forward, looking at his excited second apprentice with a comforting look in his eyes.

"It feels amazing!" Jiang Hanyi clenched his fists tightly.

No wonder everyone wants to become stronger; the feeling of surpassing most people is just too exhilarating.

It’s a transcendent experience of controlling the fates of many and indulging in the supreme realm of power.

Even though Jiang Hanyi had little pursuit of money and power, at this moment, he had to admit.

Standing high above, indulging in the unfettered comfort of a strong man’s power, made him emotionally unstable, even willing to use any means to continue pursuing the pinnacle of strength.

Gu Jin: "You have just made a breakthrough and need time to integrate. Avoid fighting with others during this period, as you might harm someone if you’re not careful."

"Got it!"

"Rumble!!!"

No sooner had Jiang Hanyi finished speaking than the distant sound of rolling thunder reached them again.

Everyone looked up, their faces full of confusion.

Jiang Hanyi, who had been exuding a bold and domineering aura, suddenly changed his expression.

Recalling the sensation of being struck by lightning, he disregarded his masculine dignity and immediately hid behind Gu Jin.

Remembering the feeling of being electrified all over, the embarrassment of being struck by lightning, and the indescribable pain, he was truly frightened.

"Is the sky acting up? Why is there thunderclapping?"

Yu Shuo walked over to Gu Jin, looking puzzled and not in the best shape.

While meditating earlier, he had only restored half of his cultivation, and now with his good brother’s successful Golden Core Pill breakthrough, his previously tense body relaxed.

The others also came over, forming a small protective circle.

They instinctively placed Gu Jin at the center, a habitual act.

Wanqi Jingyi listened to the thunder coming from afar, looked up at the full moon high in the sky, and frowned slightly: "This season usually doesn’t have thunderstorms, something’s not quite right."

"Indeed!" Gu Jin chimed in.

She also felt that something was off.

"Rumble!!"

The thunder was getting closer.

To her, the rolling thunder sounded more like a tribulation.

"What’s not right?" Han Xiyuan asked in confusion: "While storms are common in summer, it’s unusual in winter, but winter thunderstorms aren’t impossible. People call it winter thunder."

"It’s a rather normal..."

"Rumble!!"

Before Han Xiyuan could finish speaking, a lightning strike, moving at great speed, came attacking them.

Everyone’s first reaction was to flee the danger zone, not forgetting to pull Gu Jin along with them.

Only Yu Shuo stood still, rooted to the spot.
