Chapter 135 - 127: Summon Celestial Thunder!

Chapter 135: Chapter 127: Summon Celestial Thunder!

Two hundred years’ worth of innate power roared and surged within Chen Sha’s body, condensing between his palms and fingers. Various Qi Powers of different natures flowed like water across his fist, ultimately transforming into a radiant Jin brilliance. It wrapped around his pale fist, smashing directly into the heaven-shaking palm strike formed by Zhang Shouren’s Mixed Element Pill Burst.

BANG!

Upon their very first contact, Zhang Shouren felt a Qi Power from Chen Sha’s fist that shared the exact same origin as his own True Qi. Immediately after, an overwhelming and completely irresistible colossal force invaded his body.

Under the terror of this punch, the blood vessels beneath the skin of his arm bulged wildly. Unable to withstand the pressure, they were Broken open. Soon after, his arm bones let out a sharp crack...

"Jade Emperor Tower!"

The terrifying punch sent Zhang Shouren’s arm flying upward. Blood splattered and the sound of breaking bones echoed as he staggered backward uncontrollably.

Yet, even his severe injuries could not mask the sheer disbelief on his face. He wasn’t shocked by the height of Chen Sha’s Martial Arts, but rather by the specific nature of the True Qi inside Chen Sha’s body.

"You! How do you know our Jade Emperor Mountain’s supreme Heart Method, the Jade Emperor Tower Technique?!"

The onlookers watched in absolute shock as the ninth-best expert in the world, the Grand Celestial Master and Sect Leader of Jade Emperor Mountain, had his arm burst with blood and was forced to stagger back within just two exchanges.

"The ninth-ranked Elder Celestial Master Zhang actually fell to a disadvantage in just two moves!

"What Realm has he reached?!"

Zhang Shouren, however, completely ignored everyone else’s thoughts. His expression drastically changed as he stared fixedly at the Qi Power overflowing from Chen Sha’s body. He knew he wasn’t mistaken. Even if the Jade Emperor Tower Qi Power was merely one of the many traits residing within the young man, Zhang Shouren had dedicated over fifty years of Cultivation to the Jade Emperor Tower Technique. How could he possibly fail to recognize his own sect’s ultimate Inner Power?

At the same time, the other three Celestial Masters also sensed it, their expressions changing in unison:

"Jade Emperor Tower?"

"It really is the Jade Emperor Tower! There’s no mistake, I sensed it too!"

"When Chen Canxuan came to Jade Emperor Mountain back then, he absolutely didn’t take our sect’s foundational Inner Power with him. Why on earth does his son know our Jade Emperor Tower?!"

At this moment, Zhang Shouren’s twin Longevity Eyebrows fluttered as he spun around and shouted, "Junior brothers, lend me a hand! Since this boy is practicing the Jade Emperor Tower, we must force the truth out of him today. Otherwise, the thousand-year foundation of our Jade Emperor Mountain will be in danger of collapsing!"

Upon recognizing the Jade Emperor Tower Technique on Chen Sha, Zhang Shouren’s heart trembled and spasmed. This was no longer a simple matter of whose Martial Arts were superior; it was a matter of their sect’s very foundation. For thousands of years, the reason Jade Emperor Mountain had remained one of the Four Great Daoist Sects was precisely because of the Jade Emperor Tower—a First Grade divine manual that allowed cultivators to more easily connect with the natural Qi of heaven and earth.

This was the absolute lifeblood of Jade Emperor Mountain. After discovering this terrifying Jade Emperor Tower Qi Power in Chen Sha, saving the Emperor no longer mattered. Figuring out how Chen Sha had cultivated the Jade Emperor Tower Technique, or outright annihilating him here and now, took absolute priority.

Following Zhang Shouren’s command, the three Celestial Masters behind him immediately surrounded Chen Sha, shouting in unison, "Chen Sha, how exactly did you learn the Jade Emperor Tower? Speak!"

As they spoke, all four Celestial Masters, including Sect Leader Zhang Shouren, struck simultaneously. They faintly formed the aura of an Array, their respective Jade Emperor Tower Qi Power subtly connecting and resonating with one another. In terms of imposing momentum, it was as if the four of them had merged into a single entity.

In the distance, the white-haired old woodcutter’s eyes narrowed. "The Celestial Aid Array. Zhang Shouren really has cast aside his dignity, actually planning to use numbers to bully the few."

The Jade Emperor Sect worshipped Daoism’s Jade Emperor. Legend had it that the Jade Emperor was assisted by four great Celestial Masters. Thus, the ancestors of Jade Emperor Mountain created the Celestial Aid Array, a siege Array designed for four people. Bound together by a shared life force, it generated a terrifying Moo Ming. Even the few top experts in the world who were stronger than Zhang Shouren would find this Array to be a massive headache.

Chen Sha watched the Qi Power of the four Great Innate Celestial Masters. Across the vast space, they seemed bound together by an invisible rope. Striking simultaneously, terrifying attacks instantly closed in from all directions—front, back, left, and right.

Even while facing the siege of four experts, Chen Sha still had the leisure to speak calmly, "However your Ancestral Masters obtained the Jade Emperor Tower, that’s exactly how I obtained it...

"If we talk about seniority based on when we learned the Jade Emperor Tower, I am at least of the same generation as your first Celestial Master. Is it your place to question me?"

Even though he was fighting one against four, Chen Sha didn’t feel the slightest bit nervous. He tilted his head high, looking up toward the Seven Stars of the northern sky.

"Kill!"

Instantly, an overwhelmingly colossal killing intent erupted from his body, soaring into the sky.

WHOOSH!

Boundless killing intent poured out as Chen Sha stopped suppressing it, fully unleashing the power of his killing physique. His hair, previously bound by a wooden hairpin, whipped and danced wildly in the turbulent air.

Suddenly, some soldiers on the street felt something freezing cold land on their faces and hands. Upon looking closely with Spirit Condensation, they couldn’t help but exclaim, "Snow... Are these snowflakes?"

Looking up, they saw snow drifting down from the sky directly above the entrance of the Jade Capital Temple.

SWISH!

A moment later, the crowd heard a series of explosive sounds: BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!

It was the combined strike of Zhang Shouren and the other three Celestial Masters landing on Chen Sha’s front, back, left, and right. However, a bizarre scene immediately unfolded...

The crowd watched as the four strikes hit the Protective True Qi in front of Chen Sha. Accompanied by the snowflakes falling from the sky and landing upon them piece by piece, thick ice crystals unexpectedly began to form on the arms of these Grand Celestial Masters.

"Not good, withdraw your hands quickly!"

Zhang Shouren felt the bone-chilling killing intent descending from the sky. It transferred into his body from the freezing environment, instantly forming a Cold Power capable of freezing both blood and True Qi. Yet, the moment he shouted for them to withdraw and rapidly retreated, it was already too late.

The other three Celestial Masters didn’t possess his profound Martial Arts. Even though they were also in the Great Innate Realm, how could they possibly match Chen Sha’s reaction speed? The very instant ice crystals formed on their arms, the three limbs were completely frozen solid.

Chen Sha unleashed a sweeping punch. It smashed directly into the frozen arms striking at him from the left, right, and behind.

CRACK!

Like effortlessly kicking apart three blocks of ice, their frozen arms were completely shattered by Chen Sha’s punch. The three great Celestial Masters each had an arm blown to pieces before they could even register the pain.

"My hand!!"

"My hand!!"

Zhao Danyang, along with Celestial Masters Lin and Hong, stared in horror at the icy debris that Chen Sha’s punch had reduced their arms to, their own flesh and bone encased within.

"Ah..."

Because they had been frozen by the wintry killing intent, their senses were numbed, sparing them the physical agony of losing their limbs. However, their minds instantly bred an emotion of extreme, unadulterated terror.

"Senior brothers, retreat quickly! Do not get close to his body, or you will be frozen!" Zhao Danyang roared in a low voice. Clutching his frost-covered stump, he rapidly retreated.

But immediately after, his mind fractured in terror as a crack of thunder rang out from the sky above.

They only heard Chen Sha, who was looking at the rapidly retreating men, slowly speak as he raised one hand toward the heavens, "Come, Celestial Thunder."

The Seven Stars Killing Power overhead had its Big Dipper handle pointing east. A spring thunder had Broken the freeze, poised to sweep away all evil spirits, snakes, and insects.

At this moment, everyone was utterly stunned. They actually saw a bolt of lightning strike down from the sky toward the entrance of the Jade Capital Temple. This bolt of lightning struck Zhao Danyang directly. It also felt as though it had struck the hearts of everyone present. How could someone make it snow in June and manipulate the Celestial Thunder to strike?!
