Chapter 1712: Suppressing the Thunder Calamity, A Couple United (Part 1)

The place where Jiang Chengxuan stood had quickly turned into a vast and unfathomable sea of lightning.

Countless liquid-like bolts of thunder nearly submerged him entirely in their violent radiance.

The limited immortal energy he could harness was only enough to maintain the barrier around him.

Faced with the relentless onslaught of various thunder-formed phantoms, Jiang Chengxuan had no choice but to continuously swing the Primordial Hongmeng Sword, slicing through the torrents of heavenly brilliance.

Meanwhile, in another part of the Xuanming Immortal Domain, an immense thunderstorm was brewing in the previously silent heavens and earth.

Thick, torrential lightning bolts, as vast as floodwaters, cascaded down ceaselessly from the burning sky.

The impact of these divine thunders struck the ground, splitting mountains and cleaving through gold and stone!

This scene left countless creatures and cultivators residing there bewildered and terrified. From this thunderstorm, they could feel an aura of utter destruction, sending chills through their souls.

“ROOOOAR—-!”

A massive beast, hidden deep within the mountains, was struck by the lightning. It let out a mournful wail, its towering form stiffening as it turned pitch black before collapsing to the ground, its fur burning inch by inch.

This was a creature possessing immortal-level power, yet it was slain instantly by this thunderstorm. The sight left countless onlookers gasping in horror.

However, before they could react further, the thunderstorm, having reached its peak, erupted completely. An endless downpour of divine lightning rained from the sky, indiscriminately striking everything beneath the thunderclouds!

“ARGH!”

“Run! This isn’t an ordinary storm! Flee this place immediately!”

“The heavens are blind! Why send such a calamity upon innocent people?!”

In an instant, the world was engulfed in boundless lightning, and everything was bathed in a radiant glow.

All living beings caught within the storm–both mortals and beasts–fled frantically, scrambling for survival.

Yet under the relentless wrath of the storm, many creatures were soon reduced to charred corpses, their bodies incinerated by the divine flames.

Within mere moments, this once-peaceful land had turned into a barren wasteland, devoid of life.

These unfortunate souls had barely escaped the collapse of the Immortal Domain, only to perish again in a calamity spawned from its downfall.

“What’s going on…?”

A hundred miles away, a graceful figure in white furrowed her brows and muttered to herself.

She had just left the Loose Cultivator Alliance, intending to mediate a conflict elsewhere, when she stumbled upon this catastrophic thunderstorm.

This woman was none other than Shen Ruyan.

As a cultivator specializing in lightning techniques, she was intimately familiar with all forms of thunder in the world. However, the aura of this particular storm made even her feel uneasy.

It resembled Tribulation Lightning, but with an inexplicable, eerie quality.

Without hesitation, Shen Ruyan swept her sleeve, transforming into a streak of lightning as she dashed toward the storm.

“BOOM–!”

As she neared the raging thunderstorm, her expression grew more solemn.

But upon witnessing the struggling beings within the storm, she wasted no time–she intervened immediately.

Behind her, a domain of nine-colored divine lightning manifested, filled with towering Thunder Peaks and surging Lightning Seas, radiating dazzling celestial brilliance.

With a gentle wave of her snow-white hand, the Ninefold Lightning Tribulation Sword shot forward, unleashing torrents of divine thunder in nine radiant colors.

These thunderous torrents surged directly into the blazing storm above.

Instantly, two violent forces of destruction clashed, sending shockwaves through the skies. The deafening explosion rattled the void, forcing countless beings to collapse to the ground in fear.

Fortunately, Shen Ruyan’s intervention disrupted the rampaging storm. The lightning that had been lashing outward recoiled and began converging toward her instead.

Thus, a battle of lightning erupted across the heavens.

Countless manifestations of thunder clashed, filling the sky with chaotic energy. The fabric of space twisted and fragmented, giving rise to chaotic, primordial voids.

“All of you, leave at once! Do not delay!”

Shen Ruyan’s cool, authoritative voice resonated across the storm, cutting through the deafening thunder like a blade.

“An expert is aiding us! Run!”

“Thank you, immortal lady, for saving our lives!”

“We’re saved! Quickly, run! Thank you, senior!”

Realizing their chance, the terrified survivors scrambled to their feet, tears streaming down their faces as they rushed away, shouting their gratitude.

Soon, only Shen Ruyan remained within the raging storm, surrounded by utter devastation.

As the battle intensified, she unleashed her full strength–revealing the formidable power of a mid-stage Celestial Immortal!

She gradually realized that this thunderstorm was not ordinary; it possessed enough destructive force to threaten even a Celestial Immortal.

This level of power was extremely rare in the Xuanming Immortal Domain.

“Could it be… my husband is here?”

A vague sense of intuition stirred within her.

As she continued to fight, a possibility surfaced in her mind–this calamity might be related to the Great Tribulation and her husband, Jiang Chengxuan.

“Then allow me to suppress you!”

Determined, Shen Ruyan steeled herself.

Summoning her Heavenly Source Power, countless plane projections materialized behind her, resonating with the boundless void.

“Myriad Transformation Palm!”

This was an ancient divine ability from the Primordial Realm, once wielded by Ancient Celestial Immortals.

In Shen Ruyan’s hands, this technique had been honed to perfection.

As her palm struck forth, the very fabric of existence trembled.

The terrifying might of this attack crushed space itself, shattering it inch by inch!

Though the thunderstorm was vast, within the grasp of her divine technique–

It could still be suppressed!
