Chapter 748: Chapter 318: Thunderous Critical Strike, Insta-killing Foundation Establishment

"Please, spare me!" Xue Bin begged.

He had wanted to act tough at first, but when he sensed the surging Spiritual Power around him, he quickly changed his tune and his expression.

"If not for the agreement between Yuanchu Mountain and your Demon Sect, you probably would have used the Heavenly Mirror to kill me before I even had the chance to kill Andenuk."

Chu Lingguang snorted coldly.

’The Heavenly Mirror!’

Xue Bin’s expression lit up. He had actually forgotten about the Heavenly Mirror. He hastily took it out and channeled his Spiritual Power, intending to use it against Chu Lingguang.

BOOM!

However, the moment he produced the Heavenly Mirror, a bolt of Thunderbolt Light descended from the sky and struck it.

The Heavenly Mirror instantly shattered into pieces.

This bolt from the blue stunned Xue Bin into a stupor. Staring at his mangled, bloody hands, he froze as if petrified.

As a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator, although Xue Bin was dumbfounded, he knew that the violet flash of lightning just now was Chu Lingguang using his Foundation Establishment cultivation to resonate with heaven and earth, summoning Thunderbolt Power in an instant.

This Thunderbolt Power was far, far stronger than any technique like Master of Celestial Thunder or any Divine Thunder Talisman.

Even though the Heavenly Mirror was a high-grade Yellow Level Magical Artifact, it couldn’t withstand a single pure bolt of Thunderbolt Light. With this power alone, Chu Lingguang could have killed him directly.

And yet, he had dared to launch a sneak attack on Chu Lingguang, trying to avenge Andenuk. The thought was laughable, and he blushed at his own ignorance.

Nearby, Li Qiushui and Xuanyuan Jinkang were also dumbstruck.

They didn’t yet understand what Chu Lingguang’s ability to summon Thunderbolt Light in an instant represented, but they knew how powerful the Heavenly Mirror was. That was a high-grade Yellow Level Magical Artifact, yet Chu Lingguang had shattered it with a single bolt of lightning.

’If that lightning had struck them, or Xue Bin, wouldn’t they have been reduced to ashes?’

At this thought, both of them looked at Chu Lingguang with complex expressions.

Clearly, Chu Lingguang’s power had not only exceeded Xue Bin’s expectations but had also astounded the two of them.

BOOM!

Just then, another bolt of lightning descended from the sky.

"Don’t kill me!"

Xue Bin knew his doom had arrived, and he screamed desperately.

Unfortunately, locked in place by Chu Lingguang’s Five Elements Power, he was like a death row inmate tied beneath a guillotine, able only to watch as the blade fell.

BOOM!

The Thunder Power poured into him from above.

In an instant, it shattered Xue Bin’s Foundation Establishment Compass and obliterated his internal organs, blood vessels, and bones. Xue Bin’s body, charred black, began to fall uncontrollably.

As his body fell,

Chu Lingguang noticed a small Storage Pouch at his waist, emitting a faint spiritual glow.

A Storage Pouch was a type of Spatial Magical Artifact.

They could only be created by combining special materials with a Space Array, requiring the cooperation of an Array Master and an Artifact Refiner. Therefore, even a very small Storage Pouch was extremely valuable.

Previously, when Chu Lingguang and Li Qiushui were in the Immortal King’s Tomb, they had also obtained a Storage Pouch after killing Venerable Changxu.

But Venerable Changxu was a Core Formation cultivator.

Even if he only had the weakest Purple Core, he was still a Great Power in the eyes of Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators.

Yet, the Storage Pouch on Venerable Changxu had only been slightly larger than the one at Xue Bin’s waist. This showed just how rare it was for someone like Xue Bin to possess a Storage Pouch.

Unfortunately, he was just a Demon Sect cultivator, after all. Other than some miscellaneous bottles and jars, there was almost nothing of value in Xue Bin’s Storage Pouch. Not only were there few Talismans, but the ones he had were of low quality.

It seemed the Heavenly Mirror had been Xue Bin’s most precious possession.

’Perhaps his reason for coming here wasn’t simply to avenge Andenuk. It might have been because I nearly destroyed his Heavenly Mirror, leaving a scratch on its surface, that he became enraged and chased me all the way from the Turkic lands to the Great Yuan to kill me.’

In the end, he was the one who was killed instead.

"Chu Lingguang, your cultivation level...?"

Xuanyuan Jinkang’s face was filled with terror.

"I just had a breakthrough in the military camp. This old bastard has been watching me ever since I killed Andenuk, so I lured him here to the Hundred Thousand Mountains," Chu Lingguang explained.

"You killed a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator just like that... What realm is your strength really at?"

Xuanyuan Jinkang was completely stunned.

He was once again filled with envy, jealousy, and resentment toward Chu Lingguang.

When he saw Chu Lingguang easily defeat Andenuk, he had sensed Chu Lingguang’s power and the gap between them. But he never imagined the gap was even wider than he had thought.

If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that the current Chu Lingguang could obliterate a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator with a snap of his fingers.

"I’m also in the Foundation Establishment Realm. I’m just a bit more sensitive to the Five Elements Power and can utilize it better, that’s all."

Chu Lingguang explained casually.

Of course, he wasn’t going to admit that he had completed the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment.

He was worried that the words "Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment" would bring him unnecessary trouble. However, seeing Xue Bin’s final reaction, Chu Lingguang also realized just how powerful and shocking the effect of summoning the Thunderbolt Light was.

Li Qiushui and Xuanyuan Jinkang were, after all, only in the Qi Refining Realm. Although they knew there were differences between Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators, they had not yet stepped into that domain.

They had no real feel for the power of this realm and didn’t truly understand what summoning the Thunderbolt Light represented.

But Xue Bin’s reaction made Chu Lingguang realize that perhaps Xue Bin had figured out how strong his realm was. Even if he hadn’t thought of the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment, he might have imagined something along the lines of the Earth Dao Foundation Establishment.

The world of cultivation was not like the Martial Arts Realm.

Not only was it full of scheming and backstabbing, but the power gaps were enormous, and everyone was constantly fighting over opportunities. If he revealed that he possessed the power of a Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment, he might attract the attention of Core Formation cultivators or even Nascent Soul Strong Persons.
