Chapter 565 -538: Holy Thunder Shines Bright (Please Subscribe)
On Lin Rui’s Flying Car Magic Artifact, Lin Rui was glancing sideways at Tian Xiang Divine Envoy.
“Seems like your prestige in Tiantong County is not so strong either? This situation puts me in a difficult position.
Just now, after Tian Xiang Divine Envoy’s howl, only a part of the people in Tiantong County laid down their weapons, the vast majority just furrowed their brows, with faces showing struggle and confusion.
On the city walls, hundreds of thousands of rebels still had bloodshot eyes and fierce expressions, crouching behind the battlements like beasts, growling and roaring.
Some of them, under the command of the Bright Holy Sect’s priests, even operated crossbows, shooting at the Battle Dragon of the court side.
But of course, this is not an issue of Tian Xiang Divine Envoy’s prestige.
...
The spiritual state of the citizens of this Tiantong County likely has problems, probably mesmerized by Illusion Techniques and drugs. That Tian Xiang Divine Envoy could forcibly awaken some of them already shows her high prestige and important status among the citizens.
Tian Xiang Divine Envoy glanced at him, then closed her eyes, chanting scriptures.
‘Holy Thunder radiant, Holy Light illuminant, pity our world’s people, filled with woes—’
This Tian Xiang Divine Envoy had only recited a few lines when people within the county began responding.
First were those who laid down their weapons, then more and more people joined in, chanting together.
These hundreds of thousands of voices gathered together, forming a tumultuous wave like a mountain roar and ocean tide, trembling heaven and earth, shaking the hearts of people.
‘Much of life is flawed; dust of demons stains; thousand calamities, numerous ailments compete; thus what joy in living or pain in death—’
At this moment, the world gradually turned pure white, countless Light, Thunder, Fire elemental forces converged, making the whole jurisdiction of the county sparkle with streaks of gold thunder.
Also, some demons in the city caught fire spontaneously, their bodies exuding a sacred white flame.
Even those rebels on the city wall, the blood-red lustre in their eyes gradually faded; they either knelt or sat, joining in the prayer to Light Heavenly Venerate.
Around Tian Xiang Divine Envoy’s body, a layer of white brilliance was also emitted, with a faint but piercing fragrance drifting freely.
At this moment, the many restrictions on Tian Xiang Divine Envoy’s body gradually loosened, no longer able to suppress this Ninth Realm Super Monarch.
Xianyu Yan had to step forward, pressing the long sword in her hand on Tian Xiang Divine Envoy’s shoulder, suppressing the Elemental Power within the envoy’s body.
Lin Rui inwardly cursed, “Damn.”
He sensed that the Abyss Source Core hidden inside the Battle Dragon absorbed a huge amount of pure Spiritual Power and Light Source Essence in an instant.
The Fake Abyss Source Material inside the Battle Dragon’s body was even boiling and swelling rapidly!
To the point that Lin Rui almost couldn’t suppress it and almost released his Pure Concept, covering the entire area!
“That’s a bit troublesome—”
Lin Rui felt an immense headache at this moment.
He absolutely did not want to expose his mastery of the Abyss Concept, but it seemed that it was still under control.
This was partly because his Martial Intent had deeply conceptualized up to 15%, and partly because of his newly awakened SSS+ Bloodline Talent ‘Divine Soul Enlightenment’!
This was precisely the Bloodline Armament that Lin Rui had recently implanted in Shangguan Tianyi.
Lin Rui didn’t understand why the Bloodline Talent he consolidated turned out to be Divine Soul Enlightenment?
There was clearly no such Bloodline Talent in the ‘Radiant Thunder Sacred Body’; Lin Rui could only guess it had something to do with the Divine Blood bestowed by the East Abyss?
In any case, this talent completed the last weakness of his impostor God—Divine Soul!
It allowed his Divine Soul to briefly reach an indestructible state like a divine being of the Abyss, unaffected by space and time, and also enabled him to control his Abyss Concept and the Abyss Source Material within his body to the greatest extent.
This was also initially the Armament that Lin Rui planned to implant, one of the Bloodline Abilities he must awaken, simply waiting for the Sacred Body cycle to finish before implanting.
For him, Lin Xi, and Lin Yi, the value of this ‘Divine Soul Enlightenment’ is simply like an X-level ability.
So at this moment, what truly troubled Lin Rui was the rapid increase in Abyss Source Material within his body!
These Fake Source Essences not only quickly increased in coincidence rate with the true Abyss Source Material but also rapidly grew in quantity.
The question was, did these source materials belong to him, to the Great Sun Venerable, or to that deceased Seventh Generation Sect Leader? Or perhaps another being from the Yang Element Abyss, the Light King?
During the recitation by Tian Xiang Divine Envoy, she had been observing Lin Rui.
She was now certain beyond a doubt that this National Guardian of Great Song was indeed the Lord of Purity and indeed the Light Heavenly Venerate!
Tian Xiang Divine Envoy could not only clearly feel the incomparable affinity of this man with the Yang Element Elemental Power, but as the congregation of Light followers chanted and prayed, she felt the Battle Dragon inside the Dragon Box responding to her prayers!
At this moment, the situation within the county suddenly changed; as the heavens and earth began to turn pure white, the rebels on the city walls also ceased their resistance, and many Dragon Transformation Masters and Battle Dragons under Lin Rui’s command stormed into the city.
The millions chanting the Bright Holy Scripture not only drew boundless Yang Element Elemental Power, forming massive ether wave tides that shook and impacted all demonic forces, bloodlines, and Primordial Qi in the city but also condensed a majestic and grand spiritual power in the void, forming the illusion of the Supreme Divine Artifact ‘Holy Thunder Tribulation Fire’, causing those demons to suffer unbearable torment and emit wretched screams.
Wang Chenghua watched this scene but his gaze was cautious, his heart reluctant: “Sir, are you truly prepared to spare these rebels?”
“Lin’s word is as immovable as a mountain, each word weighs a ton!”
Lin Rui thought that if he hadn’t spoken those words, it might be alright, but since he did, he must fulfill them as it concerned his political credibility.
“Although the citizens of these two counties can be spared death, they cannot escape punishment; after the battle, they must be relocated to the frontier counties to atone for their sins. The emptied Tiantong and Xuanhua counties, I plan to propose to the court to build a future commercial port here.”
He paused then side-eyed Wang Chenghua: “Killing prisoners is unfortunate, especially in a significant trade port area. If the killings are too severe, the future consequences could be dire, and neither you nor I could bear that responsibility.”
Wang Chenghua, startled by the words, reasoned that these two county cities were going to be converted into commercial ports? The location wasn’t bad, not too far from Luojing City, just right as the land of the two county cities was being cleared.
If so, indeed, rampant slaughtering was not good.

Once because of this, there is large potential for residual grudges nearby, and the local civilians may easily undergo a Demon Transformation.
Lin Rui then looked around with his knife prepared, using ‘Divine Soul’s Clarity’ to sense his surroundings: “It seems those Purgatory Demons don’t intend to show themselves for a fight; Captain Xianyu, keep watch over this Tian Xiang Divine Envoy!”
This Xianyu Yan was the strongest blade in his hand.
Since those Purgatory Demons didn’t intend to show face for a fight, there was no need to unsheathe this peerless treasure blade.
“The rest of you, follow me to strike!” Lin Rui then smiled and glanced at Meng Weiyun beside him: “Senior sister, shall we have a competition? Let’s see who can slay more demons, but no using Battle Dragons.”
He spoke as he donned the Heavenly Demon Armor, ‘Heavenly Decree’.
After Lin Rui’s cultivation entered the Sixth Realm, this Heavenly Demon Armor exuded a different aura than before.
He could now bring out the divine might of the armor to its fullest extent, reaching a Seventh Realm Super Monarch!
Meng Weiyun raised her brows, uttered ‘okay’, then suddenly dropped down from the Flying Car.
“Let’s have that competition!”
Lin Rui quickly followed, turning into white Thunder after his fall, arriving deep in the city, his blade flashing, slicing a demon into two.
Lin Rui continued, flashing forward amid the booming thunder, decapitating one Sixth Realm demon after another.
Prompt: Slaying a Sixth Realm demon, acquire 23531 points of Soul Power.
Prompt: Slaying a Sixth Realm demon, acquire 18353 points of Soul Power.
The Battle Spirit Ring continuously fed this information into his soul.
Since those Purgatory forces were unwilling to intervene, this rebellion suppression was trivial.
Lin Rui now only wanted to make the greatest effort, slaying as many demons as possible, to gather more Soul Power.
He currently had two uses for a large amount of Soul Power.
One of which, was to decipher and replicate that strand of Sword Qi imbued with divine power from the East Abyss that had entered his National Guardian Dragon Seal.
