King Jun wielded the Purple Fire Divine Thunder Sword and wreaked havoc within Jun Bell, as he anticipated that Lu Chen's mastery over Jun Bell had surpassed his own, making it impossible for him to reclaim this treasured artifact.
Moreover, Lu Chen was currently using the Top Ten Demon Emperors' Essence to suppress him, the power was immense, seemingly intent on trapping him here.
Thus, he unleashed unprecedented power, utilizing his newly refined Purple Thunder Divine Sword, going on a rampage to destroy Jun Bell along with everything inside it.
Crackling sounds filled the air as purple electric serpents swarmed throughout Jun Bell, even engulfing the Essence of the Ten Emperors, who suffered under the devastation of the Purple Fire Thunder.
Seeing this scene, Lu Chen naturally would not agree to let it happen easily. He also erupted with unprecedented potential, employing all his strength to drive the Essence of the Ten Emperors and fully suppress King Jun.
At this moment, Lu Chen faintly sensed that his cultivation had reached the peak state of Manifestation of the Dharma Body, very close to becoming a Void Immortal, just a step away.
"King Jun, do you think this will defeat me? I will not let you succeed."
Crackling sounds echoed as Lu Chen's body was enveloped in silver lightning. With a wave of his hand, all the lightning surged into Jun Bell, colliding violently with King Jun's Purple Fire Divine Thunder as both sides engaged in a fierce struggle.
This move was indeed Lu Chen's Four Symbols Thunder Scripture, which originally came from King Jun himself.
However, at this moment, as Four Phases Thunder clashed with Purple Fire Divine Thunder, Lu Chen's mastery over the Four Symbols Thunder Scripture reached a new height. Through real combat experience and insights gained from it, his breakthrough in battle was not an exaggeration.
He was now ignited with boundless potential; the Four Symbols Thunder Scripture formed an electric net that descended. Then Lu Chen manipulated the electric net from afar and condensed it into a shimmering Electric Dragon to counter King Jun's Purple Fire Divine Thunder.
"Lu Chen, heh heh heh, the Four Symbols Thunder Scripture is my creation. Do you think you can defeat me by using it?" King Jun sneered coldly. The Four Symbols Thunder Scripture was developed by him; how could anyone in the world possibly be more proficient in it than he was?
"Is that so? Then let's give it a try and see who is stronger," Lu Chen said coldly, showing no signs of backing down.
"You really are overestimating yourself. To be honest, the Four Symbols Thunder Scripture was conceived while I was refining the Purple Fire Divine Thunder Sword. It is merely a precursor to the Purple Fire Divine Thunder, while the Purple Fire Divine Thunder is the true later version, the real successful product."
King Jun increased the power of the Purple Fire Divine Thunder, instantly dispersing Lu Chen's Electric Dragon. The Purple Fire Divine Thunder immediately executed a counter-pressure technique, proving to be even more powerful.
Lu Chen's eyes narrowed, and with a sweeping motion of his arms, he unleashed dozens of seals. The surrounding Four Phases Thunder underwent a qualitative change, becoming more vibrant and resembling mercury even more than actual mercury.
At this moment, the gathered Electric Dragon grew larger and more ferocious, its power surging as it began to violently rebound, suppressing King Jun.
"What is this?" King Jun was slightly taken aback by the scene before him, unsure how Lu Chen could utilize the Four Symbols Thunder Scripture to such an extent; perhaps it was some kind of demonic technique.
"King Jun, did you not expect this? You have become too complacent. Do you think the Four Symbols Thunder Scripture was created by your own hands and that your comprehension will always surpass others? Let me tell you what this is: Five Element Thunder."
The move Lu Chen was now executing was indeed the product of the evolution of the Four Symbols Thunder Scripture—Five Element Thunder. All the techniques and mental formulas were completed solely by Lu Chen.
"Divine Beast, what are you waiting for? My Yin Yuan is almost depleted; come lend me your strength!" Lu Chen shouted at the Treasure Guardian Beast, which had been watching coldly from a distance.
Lu Chen's battle with King Jun was no easy feat; after all, his opponent was either a second or third-tier Void Immortal, unfathomable in strength.
Meanwhile, Lu Chen had just reached the peak of Manifestation of the Dharma Body and had not yet formally stepped into Void Immortal.
Before long, Lu Chen's Yin Yuan was nearly exhausted. No matter how strong his techniques were, they could not hold up indefinitely. If this continued, he would surely be defeated.
Seeing Lu Chen's plea for help, the Treasure Guardian Beast immediately jumped to his side without hesitation and began to transfer its own Yin Yuan to Lu Chen.
The Treasure Guardian Beast is a creature cultivated from exotic beasts, born of Spirit-Body Unity. It has already entered the Void Immortal realm, and with its Yin Yuan as support, Lu Chen suddenly felt invigorated, consuming energy in large amounts. The Five Element Thunder rained down, suppressing King Jun to the point of losing his breath.
Inside the Jun Bell, the Purple Fire Thunder began to shrink slowly because King Jun could not withstand the combined force of Lu Chen and the Treasure Guardian Beast. As his body weakened, it was only a matter of moments before he would be crushed into blood.
Lu Chen was using the Five Element Thunder to strike at his Yin Spirit, which would instantly lead to King Jun's annihilation.
At that moment, dozens of powerful forces surged in from outside, gradually pushing back the Five Element Thunder. At the same time, King Jun seized the opportunity to escape, vanishing from within the Jun Bell.
Without needing to look, it was clear he had taken advantage of the moment to flee. The several forces just now were incredibly strong, but they were definitely not from Divine Dragon's Hideout; they belonged to other experts.
Lu Chen and the Treasure Guardian Beast withdrew the Five Element Thunder and approached outside the Jun Bell.
In the sky stood six elders in neat formation, all wearing identical attire and holding various magical artifacts. They appeared to be from the legendary Nine-Seat Spirit Head.
At this moment, King Jun was among them. Was he planning to join forces with the five spirit heads against Lu Chen?
"Lu Chenyu, one should spare others when possible; why resort to such ruthless measures?" one of the elders said with a smile.
This fellow hid a dagger behind his smile; he appeared kind on the surface but clearly possessed extraordinary skills, able to channel his power into the Jun Bell from afar. He was evidently not an ordinary expert.
"Hmph, you should tread lightly. If I had been careless just now, I might have fallen victim to your fellow disciple's treachery," Lu Chen replied truthfully. If he had shown even a hint of negligence, he would have likely been struck senseless.
"I think we should end this matter here. Continuing will yield no results for anyone involved," said this person, who was one of the spirit heads from Nine-Dragon Seat—specifically, Hao Seat—ranking just below King Jun in strength.
"Are you saying we should let it go? If word gets out, wouldn't I, Lu Chen, become a soft target for others? Where is Divine Dragon's Hideout? I want to meet him; there are some matters that need discussing," Lu Chen stated firmly. He intended to meet with Divine Dragon's Hideout.
"What? Lu Chenyu, this is a bit excessive. We have long heard that you killed King Jun's disciple and took away his Jun Bell. It is normal for you to be intercepted here, but in my humble opinion, it would be better to let this matter go," said Hao Law King.
"Lu Chenyu, no need to look around. My sect leader is not at Yuanrong Immortal Island; he should be in the Central Plains attending the Debate Conference," Hao Law King added.
Upon hearing this, Lu Chen fell into deep thought. He had not expected that the Divine Dragon's Hideout was not on Yuanrong Immortal Island, but rather in the Central Plains participating in the Debate Conference.
Before Lu Chen could respond, Hao Law King spoke again, "There’s no need for you to look around. Even if my Supreme Master is not on the island, our eighteen brothers working together, eighteen Void Immortals, are enough to deal with you. Why make things difficult for yourself?"
Lu Chen snorted coldly and said, "You Xuan Huang Sect are too arrogant, thinking that just because you have numbers, you can deal with me alone?"
At that moment, as both sides were at a standstill, a series of explosive sounds erupted from below, louder than the Nine Divine Thunder.
"This is bad; his people are bombarding our island," one of the Daoists exclaimed.
Lu Chen raised his eyebrows, realizing that Yue Shaoting and the others were concerned for their safety and were now using the Divine Mechanism Cannon to bombard Yuanrong Immortal Island. They were being reckless.
"Lu Chenyu, let's end this here. Hurry down and stop your people; otherwise, you won't be able to leave here today," said Hao Law King, flying down with several other spiritual leaders.
After a moment of silence, Lu Chen also flew down, his true form manifesting as lightning, returning to the large ship in an instant.
At this point, the large ship was already far from Yuanrong Immortal Island, but still within range of the Divine Mechanism Cannon.
If both Divine Mechanism Cannons fired together, they could sink the entire Yuanrong Immortal Island in no time.
"Stop! Do not fire again!"
Lu Chen immediately stopped the craftsman operating the Divine Mechanism Cannon. The situation had been peacefully resolved and temporarily controlled, but if the bombardment continued, it would truly be disastrous; the Xuan Huang Sect would not rest until they were annihilated.
Sure enough, Feng Poyi, the eldest disciple of the Xuan Huang Sect, had already arrived on the Thousand-Step Ship, looking ready for battle and poised to strike at any moment.
At Lu Chen's signal, the Divine Mechanism Cannon ceased fire.
"Lu Chen, you finally returned. We were all worried about your safety earlier, which is why we ordered the Divine Mechanism Cannon to fire," Yue Shaoting said anxiously, her face pale, indicating that she had been quite frightened moments before.
"Lu, don't be ungrateful. If you dare to fire again, I will make sure you can't escape today," Feng Poyi said fiercely.
"Feng Poyi, your masters have already called it off. What are you still doing here? Don't make a fool of yourself. Even if my Yin Yuan is exhausted, I will still fight you with Qigong Martial Arts. If you don't believe me, feel free to try," Lu Chen replied to Feng Poyi.
Soon, a large group of people gathered around and stood behind Lu Chen.
On Feng Poyi's side, it seemed he had flown over alone due to the sudden turn of events.
