The Protagonists' Chat Group: Beyond the Boundaries

Shi Jian and the others walked along the Heavenly River towards its depths. The further they went, the more terrifying the lightning became. Comprehending the lightning in this place was truly a unique Opportunity. At the extreme depths, the group settled down to cultivate instead of continuing forward.

Shi Jian immersed himself in the lightning beside the Heavenly River, beginning to comprehend the Dao of lightning. Around him, the lightning flashed brilliantly, and the river surged. A massive Suan Ni Precious Technique soared into the sky, then shattered into countless lightning runes that intertwined in the Void Realm.

On Shi Jian's hand, countless Ores transformed into Geng Jin Qi, which then nourished his White Emperor Body, making the power of his White Emperor Golden Emperor Slash increasingly formidable.

Until it reached a certain Realm, Shi Jian took out the Lei Ye that Yang Qi had given him earlier. Besides the Lei Ye, there were also countless thunderstones obtained from Vicious Beasts. Various lightning-related Heaven and Earth Treasures gathered around him, and lightning raged. Lightning runes manifested between heaven and earth. The lightning within these treasures transformed into dazzling flashes that enveloped Shi Jian, making him appear even more resplendent.

Lightning intertwined with countless Geng Jin Qi, the two energies coiling around each other. After Shi Jian's White Emperor Golden Emperor Slash reached a certain Realm, it finally ushered in the Opportunity for transformation. Within the white light of the White Emperor Golden Emperor Slash, specks of lightning began to emerge. Electric light flickered. At first, it was extremely weak, but it gradually absorbed the power of lightning and grew stronger.

Yang Qi and the others were attracted by the commotion of his Breakthrough. They all gathered beside him to observe. "Is this the White Emperor Golden Emperor Slash evolving into Geng Jin Thunder?" Everyone watched intently, knowing they would also embark on this step in the future. Observing now would benefit their future breakthroughs.

Thunder itself was the most terrifying power, controlled by the heavens. The Heavenly Tribulation it brought down could suppress all living beings. The group members were never unfamiliar with the power of lightning. Under everyone's gaze, Shi Jian's Geng Jin light of the White Emperor Golden Emperor Slash completely transformed into Geng Jin Divine Thunder. Within the white light, endless power of thunder flickered.

Shi Jian stood there, silently comprehending the changes after the transformation. The White Emperor Golden Emperor Slash broke through its shackles, transcended its original limitations, and took a significant step forward.

When Shi Jian was still, he was like a steadfast rock, but once he moved, lightning encircled his body, and every pore spewed electric light. He possessed a mysterious and powerful lightning force, and his entire being almost transformed into a lightning His Holiness.

"So strong..." Shi Jian couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. Lightning was the most terrifying power in this world. Reaching its extreme could make heaven and earth lose their luster. The supreme Demon Venerables on Devil Island ultimately perished in lightning. In some worlds, one would even be struck by lightning when breaking through a realm. The power of lightning was undeniable.

Before this, the lightning secret techniques Shi Jian possessed were only the Suan Ni Precious Technique and the lightning Legacy obtained from Zhulu Academy. Although these were lightning legacies, they were ultimately somewhat shallow. Shi Jian could control lightning and unleash terrifying combat power, but these legacies were inferior to his other legacies, so he did not often use lightning.

Now that his Geng Jin Qi had evolved into Geng Jin Divine Thunder, he had taken a crucial step in the supreme lightning Domain. From now on, the power of lightning could ascend to become one of his strongest combat forces. If he continued to study the Dao of lightning, he could create forbidden Divine Abilities and reach an even more terrifying level, perhaps comparable to Heavenly Tribulation.

Shi Jian's gaze shifted, looking into the distance. A little further away, mist enveloped everything, making it incredibly dim. However, a pair of silver eyes opened within it, shining like Sword Qi and accompanied by electric light. This was a fierce beast that had silently approached the group and then suddenly erupted, pouncing on them.

Yang Qi and the others were not surprised. All the fierce spirits on Devil Island understood lightning techniques. The Heavenly River had nurtured too many lightning creatures, and they had killed quite a few in the past two days. However, this time, they did not act. Shi Jian moved; he calmly turned around, his gaze fixed on the vicious beast. This was a lizard-like monster, its eyes cold, and it was a master among those in the Venerable Realm.

Shi Jian merely glanced at it. A bolt of lightning instantly descended from the sky. The silver lightning pierced through its body, scales flying everywhere, and blood profusely flowing. This Heavenly and Earthly Divine Thunder seemed to respond to Shi Jian's call. He merely looked at the vicious beast, and lightning descended like a Heavenly Tribulation.

The lightning struck like a blade, instantly piercing through the beast's hide, cutting it in half at the waist. In the blink of an eye, the lightning exploded, and the Venerable-level giant beast was pulverized into ashes. It was a mere warm-up, but the power of lightning was extraordinary.

"So cool... This is the demeanor of a true master I aspire to!" Meng Qi watched from the side, filled with envy. He had also mastered some lightning techniques, but they were only good for dealing with weak opponents. Against a master, they were useless. When facing a true enemy, he had to summon his Indestructible Dharma Body and rely on its astonishing defense to brute force his way through. Shi Jian's method of killing beings with just a glance, controlling lightning as if wielding Heavenly Tribulation, was precisely what he longed for.

"Alas!" Meng Qi sighed. He had already resigned himself to his fate. He once yearned for the ethereal swordsman who, with a gentle flick of a finger, would sweep Sword Qi across ninety thousand miles. In reality, although his Sword Qi was terrifying, it struggled to achieve much against powerful opponents. When truly facing a strong enemy, his desire to fight elegantly was merely a pipe dream. He could only unleash his Dharma Body and charge head-on. Sword Qi could only harass the enemy, catching them off guard.

Shi Jian's White Emperor Golden Emperor Slash had made a huge breakthrough, and after the others absorbed various Ore Geng Jin, their White Emperor Golden Emperor Slash also showed different levels of improvement. However, they were still some distance away from transforming it into Geng Jin Divine Thunder.

After some discussion, the group decided to explore deeper. This area was incredibly vast, and they had only explored one corner. However, as they explored deeper, they noticed that the number of people in this area seemed to be increasing.

"Stop!" a stern voice suddenly came. Shi Jian looked in the direction of the voice and saw a silver Dragon with shimmering scales and several arm-length limbs swimming around. This was a lightning creature cultivated here by immortal lightning and the true blood of a Demon Venerable. It was extremely precious. A group of people were currently besieging this Thunder Dragon.

The person who spoke was one of them, vigilantly watching Shi Jian's group. Shi Jian, Yang Qi, and the others understood the group's intention and did not want to conflict with them, so they decided to change their path. Although their actions were ruthless, they had not reached the point of killing anyone they saw or seizing any opportunity they encountered. Although we commit murder and arson, although we refine corpses, we are good people...

However, just as they were about to leave, someone in the distance spoke coldly. A terrifying pressure permeated the air. "You few, come over..." The speaker was a purple-haired youth with purplish-gold pupils, as intimidating as divine lamps. He was a Genius-level powerhouse.

"Do you need something?" Shi Jian asked him calmly.

"I'm short on hands here; you guys come and help me drive away that Silver Dragon," the purple-haired youth said in an undeniable tone, his voice cold and ruthless. As soon as he said this, it directly amused the few of them.

"We're not looking for trouble with you, but you're looking for trouble with us first... What kind of thing are you to make us help you drive away a Silver Dragon?" Lin Dong was eager to move. The Great Desolate Imprisoning Heavenly Finger was already prepared. Lin Dong thought that people like Lin Langtian in his own world were already arrogant enough, but when he arrived in Perfect World, he realized what it meant to have heavens beyond heavens. The people in this world were truly arrogant. From the gods who descended to the current guy in front of him, Lin Langtian was simply a rookie.

"How dare you disrespect the Divine Son..." Before the purple-haired youth could speak, one of his subordinates started cursing. Beside the youth, a seductive and beautiful woman let out a clear laugh, her voice seemingly full of charm. "This person is quite individualistic. If he has the strength... I would be interested in taking such an individualistic battle servant as a human mount..." The woman had a tuft of feathers on her head, clearly a transformed beast.

As soon as these words were spoken, Lin Dong was instantly enraged, smoke practically coming out of his seven orifices. He opened his mouth and cursed, "You damn bird person, you want to take me as a human mount? I'll pluck your bird feathers today and roast you on a spit to eat..."

Upon hearing this, the woman's expression instantly turned grim. "As a servant, your personality is too arrogant. It seems necessary to break your bones today so you know what deference is!" A secret treasure appeared in the Void Realm, emitting endless radiance. The radiance enveloped Lin Dong. It was a rope that emitted divine light, undulating like a flood Dragon and intending to bind him. "Once you're bound by my God-Binding Rope, you can peacefully be my human mount from now on..." The rope coiled towards Lin Dong's neck, clearly intending to lead him like a dog with a leash.

Lin Dong saw the person's intention and instantly turned red with rage. "Damn you, motherf*cker..." He took a step, and the entire area trembled. He immediately unleashed that incredibly familiar move, the Great Desolate Imprisoning Heavenly Finger. A terrifying and incomparable attack swept across the entire scene and then instantly descended from the sky. The so-called God-Binding Rope erupted with bursts of divine light, resisting this finger. The woman's face instantly turned pale. She understood that they had messed with the wrong people.

Seeing this, the purple-haired man quickly acted, a flash of light, and a purple great bow appeared in his hand. The arrow glowed, instantly nocked onto the great bow. He pulled the bowstring, and thunder roared. The arrow in his hand transformed into a shocking long rainbow, flying out accompanied by a lightning demon apparition.

After one arrow flew out, he leaped up, standing in the Void Realm, and once again drew his long bow. Countless flowers bloomed around him, and mysterious runes appeared. As the first arrow shot forth, electric light flickered.

When the second arrow shot forth, flames raged. When the third arrow shot forth, metallic Qi permeated the air, like ten thousand swords clashing. Several arrows continuously shot towards Lin Dong.

Yang Qi and the others did not move. They knew that Lin Dong's strength was sufficient to handle the current situation and could all tell that he was now enraged. It was not a good time to intervene.

Vast Origin Qi surged around him, and the Origin Qi of the entire area surged out at a tidal speed at that instant. A deep roar, accompanied by endless low tones, suddenly resounded in this area. "Great Desolate Imprisoning Heavenly Finger, one finger imprisons heaven and earth!"

Boom! The entire area trembled under the touch of Lin Dong's finger. Above the sky, the Void Realm seemed to be torn apart. A hundred-zhang colossal ancient finger slowly ripped through the Void Realm. The finger was covered with mysterious patterns, as terrifying as the firmament.

And it wasn't over yet. "If you can block my one finger... then let's see if you can block my five fingers..."

"Great Desolate Imprisoning Heavenly Finger, two fingers shatter mountains and rivers!"

"Great Desolate Imprisoning Heavenly Finger, three fingers..."

In an instant, five fingers shot out simultaneously. An earth-shattering roar resounded. The colossal finger descended. Neither the purple-haired man's divine arrows nor the woman's attacks had any room for resistance before this colossal finger.

"Sin Blood Great Fiend!" Both of their faces were filled with fear. At this moment, they seemed to have recalled something and spoke in utter horror. They were latecomers, having come to Devil Island only after Shi Jian and the others caused a stir. They came here mainly for Shi Jian and his group.

Currently, in the outside world, Shi Jian and his group were almost deified. Which Genius among the nearby ten states could be convinced? They were not convinced, so they came. Besides them, many Genius powerhouses also came to Devil Island.

There were even "hunting squads" dispatched by various great sects, wanting to encircle and kill the Sin Blood Great Fiend on Devil Island. The purple-haired man and his group never expected that they would directly encounter the Sin Blood Great Fiend and his party so soon after arriving.
