Chapter 324: Purple Sky Divine Thunder

Tai Hao retreated dozens of feet, flying straight toward the location where the three from Purple Sky were.
The leader of Tai Xu realized something serious was happening, but he was blocked by Tian Xuan’s countless illusions and could do nothing to help, despite his urgency.
Purple Sky, Guang Wu, and Mu Ye, who were engaged in combat with the Demon Cult’s leader and others, suddenly changed direction and seized this rare opportunity. Each unleashed their most powerful divine abilities and launched a surprise attack on Tai Hao, who was facing away from them.
Crack! A bucket-thick bolt of Purple Sky Divine Thunder struck first, shattering the protective energy field surrounding Tai Hao.
Whoosh! A dark green wooden thorn launched by Mu Ye pierced Tai Hao’s back.
The same tactic, combined by the same two, had once succeeded in defeating the terrifying old ghost of the Ten Ghosts Sect—today, it worked just as well.
Huhuuh…
Guang Wu, who specialized in fire, waved his hand, and a giant hand wreathed in blue-violet flames appeared, seizing Tai Hao in its grip.
Sssss…
The fire-based divine ability, fueled by level-10 spiritual fire, instantly turned Tai Hao’s white hair to ash, while his elite Dao robes emitted a shrill screeching sound as they burned in the flames.
With level-10 spiritual fire burning on the outside and deadly poisonous wooden thorns controlled by Mu Ye ravaging his body from within, Tai Hao let out a roar like a lion’s—his fury and agony indistinguishable.
After all, he was the senior elder of Tai Yi Gate. Even so, he still had enough strength to resist. Gathering all his vital energy, he tried to burst free from Guang Wu’s flaming hand.
“Whoa!”
Guang Wu also roared, channeling all his vital energy to intensify the grip of his flaming hand, denying Tai Hao any chance of escape.
At the same time, the Demon Cult’s leader and the Blood Sacred Sect’s leader finally realized that Tian Xuan Sect intended to kill Tai Hao outright. As allies of Tai Yi Gate, they certainly couldn’t allow this to happen.
So, the two sect leaders simultaneously activated their Dao artifacts to attack Guang Wu and Mu Ye respectively.
The Demon Cult’s leader activated the Soul Suppressing Order, summoning a giant “Destruction” character that rushed toward Guang Wu. First, they had to break free from Guang Wu’s grip on Tai Hao before they could help him escape the crisis.
The Blood Sacred Sect’s leader released a spiral-shaped red water column from the blood lotus, sweeping toward Mu Ye. If caught by this water column, one would face the danger of their flesh being corroded and their spirit destroyed.
The sacred sect leader knew that Mu Ye was using his Wood Poison divine ability to destroy Tai Hao’s vital energy. He had to stop him immediately, or the consequences would be dire.

Faced with the fierce attacks from the two sect leaders, Guang Wu and Mu Ye did not dare to be careless—they couldn’t risk losing their lives just to eliminate Tai Hao. So, Guang Wu intervened, forcing Mu Ye to take cover for now.
Swish! Swish!
The two moved over ten zhang sideways to avoid the attacks, while Tai Hao also broke free from his predicament. With a roar, he shattered the flaming hands.
Crack!
Another Purple Sky Divine Thunder struck him head-on.
Purple Sky withstood the combined attacks of the other three Yuan Ying cultivators and delivered another blow to Tai Hao.
Boom!
Just as Tai Hao broke free, he was struck by the divine thunder and plummeted through the air…
Pfft! Purple Sky also spat blood, severely injured.
The three Yuan Ying elders behind him, although two of them were also injured and could only exert partial strength, combined their power to pierce through Purple Sky’s protective aura, delivering a devastating impact on his back.
“Haha!”
Purple Sky truly was a notorious freak in the cultivation world—laughing even while injured, for that Purple Sky Divine Thunder had essentially sealed Tai Hao’s fate. Though the three of them were under attack from Illusion Demon, Blood God, and others and could no longer strangle Tai Hao, they must not forget there was still Grand Elder Qing Xuan present.
In a flash, Grand Elder Qing Xuan flew forward and delivered the final fatal strike at Tai Hao, who was falling toward the ground…
Yet, the Five Elders of Tian Xuan still underestimated some life-saving techniques of the Tai Yi Sect. At that moment, the sect leader roared, “Tai Hao, disintegrate!”
Still conscious as he fell, Tai Hao knew clearly that this was his only chance to survive.
Boom!
There was an explosive sound.
Tai Hao was a bold man—he acted instantly, without hesitation, using the Disintegration Art. His Yuan Ying separated from his physical body, saving his Yuan Ying while self-destructing his body.
The Yuan Ying was the essence; as long as it remained alive, even if he lost his body, he could acquire a new one through certain body-swapping techniques in just ten to twenty years.
What exploded now was a mid-stage Yuan Ying body, its vast vital energy bursting forth in an instant—its power was naturally terrifying.
The immense force spread outward, pushing Grand Elder Qing Xuan, who was closest, back a hundred zhang, nearly injuring him. Even those fighting, such as Purple Sky and the Illusion Demon Sect leader, lost their balance and were forced to retreat dozens of zhang, temporarily halting the fierce battle.
Seizing this opportunity, Tai Hao’s Yuan Ying, along with his soul and a small storage ring, rushed to escape at high speed, leaving the valley behind.
Crack!

Yet a Purple Sky Divine Thunder struck down from above…
“No!”
The head of Tai Xu Sect cried out in horror.
Pfft!
Although a tiny Yuan Ying could contain countless vital energies, it lacked strong defensive capabilities. Like a bubble, it was shattered by the divine thunder into scattered light particles, and along with its spirit, it quickly evaporated into intangible spiritual energy, merging with the natural energy of the world.
Clang!
Only that small storage ring remained, falling to the ground with a clear sound.
Tai Hao, the chief grand elder of Tai Yi Sect and a legendary Yuan Ying ancestor who had dominated the cultivation world for hundreds of years, perished completely, erased from the world—even his spirit vanished without a trace.
“Tai Hao is dead! But how did he die?”
Inside the valley, the ten Yuan Ying ancestors were stunned.
They were certain that the Purple Sky Divine Thunder was not emitted by Purple Sky itself, as Purple Sky, already severely injured, was too busy dealing with its own injuries and forced to retreat repeatedly by Tai Hao’s physical explosion, leaving no chance to act.
So, who had sent that divine thunder?
The Yuan Ying ancestors weren’t fools. Their shock lasted only a moment before they thought of that person: Tian Yu from Tian Xuan Sect, the young man who could summon divine punishment.
Indeed, at the entrance of Wind and Thunder Desolation, Su Che stepped out calmly. With a gesture of his hand, he swiftly drew the storage ring, which had fallen twenty zhang away, into his palm.
“Head of Tai Xu Sect, I’m sorry. In my carelessness, I killed two of your sect members.”
Su Che spoke with a smile, making it clear that not only Tai Hao but also Tai Wu had been killed by him.
“Tian Yu, hand over your life!”
The head of Tai Xu Sect roared in grief and anger, trying to charge at Su Che to fight to the death, but was stopped by the sect leader and Grand Elder Qing Xuan, who activated two great artifacts of Tian Xuan Sect to block him.
Vum…
Su Che looked relaxed as a small, exquisite golden palace appeared above his head—a supreme defensive treasure.
It was obvious to anyone that with such a treasure, it had completely pledged allegiance to Su Che. As long as Su Che lived, no one could take it away.
With the powerful protection of this treasure and being in Wind and Thunder Desolation, who could Su Che fear?
If one wondered where Su Che got the Purple Sky Divine Thunder from, since this was only the entrance to Wind and Thunder Desolation and there were no thunderstorms or fierce winds inside the valley, the answer was simple: from the sky.
Wind and Thunder Desolation had no connection to the sky, meaning the entire sky was covered by thick clouds hiding countless thunderstorms, and no one dared to fly into those clouds.

However, this cloud layer was less than 500 zhang above the ground and still within Su Che’s mental reach, allowing him to summon any thunder from the clouds. The purple thunder just now was purely coincidental; Su Che himself didn’t even know what type of thunder the Great Thunder Summoning Technique could bring down from the clouds.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

Su Che summoned three more thunders in succession: the weaker Yi Wood Divine Thunder and Sky Fire Thunder, as well as the most powerful Tai Qing Divine Thunder.

These three thunders were not aimed at anyone specific; they simply struck the sky, creating a tremendous deterrent force. Even the Patriarch of Tai Xu, who was in a state of emotional turmoil, suddenly regained his composure.

“Patriarch of Tai Xu, why are you so out of control?”

Standing at the narrow entrance, Su Che said slowly, “Those who kill others will always be killed in return. You elders of the cultivation world have schemed to destroy me. So, what’s so strange about dying at my hands?”

“Today, two Yuan Ying cultivators of Tai Yi Sect have perished—this is just the beginning. But I hope it will also be the end… From now on, if anyone continues to target me or Tian Xuan Sect, when I grow strong enough, I will exterminate you all and completely erase your sect from the cultivation world of Qi Yuan Star.”

“If you don’t want to see that day, you have two choices: either get rid of me as soon as possible if you can, or stay away from me and avoid drawing my attention if you can’t.”

“Of course, these are just suggestions. It’s up to you whether to follow them.”

After saying these words to the people of Tai Xu, Su Che turned to the Five Patriarchs and said, “Thank you, my five ancestors, for coming to rescue me. But for now, please rest for a while. I can handle them alone here.”

“Haha!”

Zi Xiao laughed loudly, “That brat is even more reckless than me! Good, that’s just right!”

The Five Patriarchs and the other four elders also nodded with smiles and descended together. They wouldn’t stand by idly but stood in front of Su Che as one.

At this moment, aside from the Patriarch of Tai Xu’s extremely poor mood, even the Master of Illusion Magic Sect and the Master of Blood Divine Sect felt extremely frustrated.

A young member of the third generation of Tian Xuan Sect, with only mid-stage Golden Dan cultivation, dared to threaten, provoke, and shout like this in front of the three great patriarchs…

Yet, none of them could do anything to him.

For at this moment, the weapon in his hand was not some magical artifact, but rather the overwhelming power of the Wind and Thunder Desolate Land. Who in the cultivation world could stand against it?
After a brief silence, the usually reticent Leader of the Illusion Demon Sect was the first to react—he left without a word and flew away; two elders of the Illusion Demon Sect hurried after him.
The Leader of the Blood God Sect chuckled coquettishly and left with a remark: “Tian Xuan Tian Yu truly is the greatest genius in the cultivation world! I’m going now—don’t worry about me.”
With the Illusion Demon Sect and the Blood God Sect gone, only the solitary figure of the Master of the Void remained in the sky.
