Chapter 1227: Round, Setting Sun Above the Winding River (2/2)

Mo Wuji's halberd light did not show any signs of stopping. It sailed through Tai Shixiao's domain and landed on Tai Shixiao's body.

Tai Shixiao was far weaker than Lei Hongji. At the very best, he was on the same level as Tai Luan and the other Sages. Compared to Mo Wuji, wasn't Tai Shixiao multiple times weaker?

Thus, against Mo Wuji's halberd, Tai Shixiao had no means of resistance.

Mo Wuji's vicious halberd light surged forth. Tai Shixiao only needed a single glance to know that he was far weaker than Mo Wuji. He did not hesitate as he tried to escape. However, just as he was about to do so, he felt a similarly powerful domain wrap around him.

”You are actually backstabbing me!” Tai Shixiao looked at Luo with intense unwillingness. At almost the same instant that he said those words, the Mortal Halberd light had cleaved him in half.

Luo directly grabbed a Dao Law of the Universe from Tai Shixiao's corpse. With a flash, he instantly disappeared.

By now, he had a clear understanding of the situation. Mo Wuji's allies had arrived, and among the people that arrived, none of them was weaker than Sages. If he continued to stay here, he definitely wouldn't be able to eliminate Mo Wuji. Now that the Cataclysm had arrived and the universe had started to collapse, Mo Wuji would ultimately face death.

He would rather fuse with this third Dao Law of the Universe and pick up the leftovers. He believed that if he fused with this third Dao Law, he would definitely be able to survive this World-Ending Cataclysm.

Mo Wuji saw Luo flee after stealing his spoils of war. However, he could only let that go. He reached out and broke open Tai Shixiao's world, emptying away the remaining treasures into his own Mortal World.

”Boom!” Just as one of Lei Hongji's lightning bolt slammed against Gu Pingren, he saw Mo Wuji killing Tai Shixiao and Luo running away after extracting the Dao Law of the Universe.

At this point, how could Lei Hongji still care about dealing with Gu Pingren and Gu Yongxiao? He did not hesitate as he tried to escape.

Just as he activated his escape technique, the surrounding space began to shake violently.

”Mo Wuji, you despicable…” Initially, Lei Hongji thought that this was due to the universe's collapse. However, he soon realised that this was the act of Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji had already planted countless void runes in this space and this was the self-explosion of those void runes.

Mo Wuji laughed coldly. These void runes had been prepared for Luo. Since Luo had escaped, then he would use it on Lei Hongji. As the void runes exploded, Mo Wuji did not simply leave it as that. His Mortal Halberd conjured a strikingly beautiful sun which descended on Lei Hongji.

In reality, Lei Hongji wasn't worried. Even with the self-destruction of Mo Wuji's void runes and even if Mo Wuji were to use this time to attack, Lei Hongji was confident that he could escape.

The Thunder Hammer was lifted. Bioundless lightning-type dao laws entered the Thunder Hammer. At the same time, all of Lei Hongji's elemental energy and spiritual will seemed to be sucked out.

The Thunder Hammer turned into a vehement lightning bolt. It felt as though the Lightning Calamity had arrived as it shot towards Mo Wuji.

Roars of thunder reveberated through the air. At this moment, this entire universe seemed to have become a world of lightning and he, Lei Hongji, was the ruler of this world.

Lightning Sacred Art - Great Art of Thunderclap!

For Lei Hongji, he had encountered innumerable dangers before finally arriving at where he was today. Wasn't he able to get through all of those dangers? Mo Wuji was indeed stronger than him. However, that still wasn't enough to kill him.

His Great Art of Thunderclap caused rolling waves of lightning. Even Sages could wait to die or use their full-power to try and protect himself. After all, in this world of lightning, the entire space was filled with the Laws of Lightning.

However, Lei Hongji also knew that Mo Wuji wasn't an average Sage. His Great Art of Thunderclap could kill an average Sage but it definitely couldn't kill Mo Wuji.

To him, he would ultimately get rid of Mo Wuji. There was no hurry for him to get rid of Mo Wuji now. He could come back after he transcends the Sage Stage.

Concentrated and terrifying lightning bolts exploded throughout the air. Even Luo Xu and the others who were battling were shocked still. This was Lei Hongji's true power? If this terrifying might of the Laws of Lightning came crashing down on them, they could only wait to die or furiously try to protect themselves.

For cultivators, lightning-type sacred arts had always been the most terrifying type of sacred arts, what more the pinnacle of lightning-type sacred arts, the Great Art of Thunderclap?

Immediately, Luo Xu and co. were excited. It didn't matter that Luo had run away. If this attack could get rid of Mo Wuji, then they would win this battle.

Soon, everyone was flabbergasted. As the terrifying Laws of Lightning of the Great Art of Thunderclap came towards him, Mo Wuji did not try to defend against it. That beautiful white sun continued on its trajectory towards Lei Hongji.

The grand desert was lonely and hazy. Above the winding river, there was a round, setting sun.
