Chapter 592: Chapter 298: Power of Thunder_2
Three meters away, within a range of one hundred meters, tiny flames flickered in the air, and the temperature had soared to over a thousand degrees Celsius.
At such a temperature, almost nothing could withstand the intense heat.
The Tier Four Fire of the Five Elements.
If Lin Beichen hadn’t intentionally controlled the range, he could have engulfed the entire Medicine Immortal Pavilion in it.
Even if the buildings of the Medicine Immortal Pavilion could withstand a thousand degrees, the people could not.
For the human body, a temperature of 50 degrees was already considered high, and 60 degrees was hard to endure, necessitating immediate retreat. At 70 degrees and above, the body would blister and possibly die.
At this temperature, even staying for a minute could cause organ damage.
Now, the temperature around Lin Beichen was over a thousand degrees.
The high temperature did not just make survival impossible; it also altered the nature of the surrounding air.
Bullets or artillery shells, once they entered this range within a hundred meters, moved as though passing through thick mud.
Bullets traveling through it would slow down continuously, eventually emitting a muffled sound and bursting instantly.
Artillery shells moving through this region would melt into molten iron, gradually disintegrating in the air.
Rumble! Rumble!
Any weapon rushing into this area would instantly disappear without a trace.
Lin Beichen stood in the void, as if doing nothing yet seemingly controlling everything.
Witnessing this, the elders of the Medicine Immortal Pavilion were filled with dread.
Previously, although Lin Beichen had demonstrated extraordinary strength, they still had some reservations.
Because, while Lin Beichen’s strength was formidable, it was at least understandable.
However, now they realized they could no longer fathom Lin Beichen’s realm!
The realms of cultivation are divided into three layers.
The first layer is achievable through various efforts and deductions.
The second layer may not be achievable in this generation, but can be theorized and realized in the future.
The third layer is beyond comprehension, even with the best efforts and imaginations.
The power Lin Beichen exhibited now was of this third layer.
"Is this the extent of your abilities?"
Lin Beichen stood in the void, looking at the crowd, his eyes filled with deep disappointment.
He had thought that the Medicine Immortal Pavilion, with its higher reputation compared to Zhongcheng Hall, would at least provide a challenge.
However, it seemed he overestimated these people.
Lin Beichen sighed softly, regripped the branch, and gently waved it.
Streaks of sword qi slashed through the air, and the power of the Five Elements of Gold accurately struck the distant snipers.
Amidst screams, the snipers’ heads burst open like watermelons within the distant buildings.
The flower of life burst in a radiant, albeit cruel, beauty amidst destruction.
Lin Beichen finally moved.
He held onto the branch, slowly descending from the void.
He confined the power of the Five Elements of Fire within a three-meter radius, else life in the Medicine Immortal Pavilion would have been extinguished.
"Lin Beichen, how dare you! How dare you!"
The Great Elder broke through the crowd, smelling the heavy scent of blood.
Since he became the Great Elder, he had always believed that although the Medicine Immortal Pavilion was not a true Immortal Treasure Land, it was the closest place to the Immortal Realm in the mortal world.
However, now everything here had changed.
Wherever he looked, there was nothing but blood and wailing.
This scene reminded him of long-buried memories.
Immortal Peak Mountain.
Immortal Peak Mountain once harbored the power of Immortal Techniques.
The person who spread this news was none other than the Great Elder.
Immortal Peak Mountain was a Daoist place.
As a former member of Daoism, the Great Elder once firmly believed that he too could practice Immortal Techniques.
However, when they developed a method to cultivate Immortal Techniques on Immortal Peak Mountain, his master called him aside and told him that the conditions for Immortal Techniques at Immortal Wind Mountain were extremely strict, and only one person could practice it.
And he was not among the potential candidates.
The Great Elder did not know what the conditions were, nor did he care who ultimately received the qualification to practice Immortal Techniques.
He only knew that if he couldn’t have it, then Immortal Peak Mountain didn’t need to exist.
He leaked the news overnight.
Days later, Immortal Peak Mountain was surrounded by dozens of ancient clans, demanding the method of practicing Immortal Techniques.
Among them were people from the Medicine Immortal Pavilion.
That night, Immortal Peak Mountain experienced a massacre.
The Great Elder did not witness the Sect Leader’s death; he had already handed over the research notes to the Medicine Immortal Pavilion.
With this achievement, he became the Great Elder of the Medicine Immortal Pavilion.
Later, he earned the acknowledgment of Mr. Li Jiang, securing his position as the Great Elder, with no one ever mentioning his past again.
But now, he saw the Immortal Techniques again.
Could it be... that the lucky person back then was Lin Beichen?
Impossible!
It’s been nearly a hundred years since the fall of Immortal Peak Mountain!
Mr. Li Jiang had long crossed the Death Gate, and time could no longer restrict him, but the erosion of time still left its mark on him.
Mr. Li Jiang’s eyes revealed deep with the ravages of time.
Even if Lin Beichen had not changed his form and this was his first life, could he be a descendant of that person?
The Immortal Techniques of Immortal Peak Mountain were meant to be mine!
A hundred years ago, he didn’t get it. Now, it’s finally his turn!
The Great Elder’s eyes turned red, he roared furiously, and thrust a jade sharp cone into his heart.
Electrical currents surged through his body, and his flesh became full and vibrant, as if regaining youth.
Waves of thunder wrapped around the Great Elder’s body.
In an instant, he transformed from a white-haired old man into a youth of about eighteen.
"Mr. Li Jiang’s power of Daoist Art!"
The surviving elders revealed their joy.
The Great Elder was once a cultivation prodigy.
Everyone knew that.
However, they rarely saw the Great Elder fight.
It was said that, after joining the sect, Mr. Li Jiang had a special discussion with him.
They dueled in the back mountains of the Medicine Immortal Pavilion for three days and nights.
During that time, the back mountains of the Medicine Immortal Pavilion were constantly filled with thunderous roars, as if Celestial Thunder had descended.
It was said that during those three days, relentless thunderstorms ravaged the skies above the Medicine Immortal Pavilion, as if the heavens were collapsing.
In the end, the Great Elder lost, but he managed to withstand hundreds of Mr. Li Jiang’s moves.
Mr. Li Jiang commented that the Great Elder had grasped the essence of the Power of Thunder.
Now, they finally saw the Great Elder’s true power.
The Great Elder’s eyes were filled with thunder, and as he breathed, a Wild Blade entirely composed of thunder appeared in his hand.
"Die!"
The Great Elder roared, and thunder condensed on the Wild Blade. With a mighty swing, the thunder transformed into a true dragon, charging towards Lin Beichen.
The dragon surged through the air, tearing through the atmosphere.
The entire ground of the Medicine Immortal Pavilion cracked under the power of thunder.
"The Power of Thunder is indeed extraordinary."
Elder Sun said excitedly.
The Power of Thunder had always been the most destructive energy in the world.
Since joining the Medicine Immortal Pavilion, the Great Elder had only fought three times.
Each time, he merely extended a finger to kill his challengers on the spot.
Now, the Great Elder unleashed nearly all of his power.
This power, even if not yet baptized by the Death Gate, was likely unmatched even among those who had crossed it.
If this strike failed to defeat Lin Beichen, the entire Medicine Immortal Pavilion would be left with only Mr. Li Jiang to rely on.
The crowd’s eyes were filled with intense anticipation.
But when the thunder struck Lin Beichen, it only lingered for a second before being pushed three meters away.
The Great Elder’s hand felt a slight sensation of scorching.
Elder Sun’s expression changed drastically.
His sharp gaze noticed details that others missed.
The texture of the Great Elder’s skin seemed to have developed tiny fissures.
