Start from a baby to become a Taoist

Chapter 205: Red Orb? Is this it?

After saying that, he looked up at the sky.

I saw that the thunderclouds that were originally above the heads of Hu Niu and the other four actually gathered towards Xu Ran's head and merged into the previous thundercloud. The volume of the thundercloud instantly expanded to ten times its previous size.

At the same time, the sixth bolt of lightning in the thundercloud began to condense, and an aura of destruction began to gather in the sky. The terrifying pressure made Hu Niu and the others almost unable to breathe.

Sudden.

"boom!"

The lightning condensed and fell.

The power of this lightning is greater than the previous five lightning bolts combined, and it seems to be able to destroy everything.

Hu Niu and the others could clearly sense that even though their bodies had been tempered by Xu Ran and the [Fire of Eternal Tribulation], once they were struck by this terrifying lightning, their souls would be shattered.

But the strange thing was that although they could feel the terrifying pressure and even felt a little breathless, they could not sense the slightest breath of destruction.

Xu Ran, who was struck by lightning, still looked as calm as before, as if the terrifying lightning no longer existed.

Seeing this, the figure in the sky grinned, as if very satisfied.

"Let me see where your limits are."

After saying that, he casually threw out a yellow talisman that was engraved with obscure runes, and it merged into the thundercloud above Xu Ran's head.

Xu Ran naturally saw his movements as well, his eyes emitting golden light as he wanted to see clearly what was so mysterious about the talisman he threw out.

It turned out that he could only partially understand the runes on the yellow talisman, and with his current strength, he could not fully understand it.

When the yellow talisman merges into the thundercloud.

Suddenly, all the thunderclouds in the sky gathered towards Xu Ran's head. It was because of the gathering of thunderclouds that the dark sky regained its brightness, but the thunderclouds above Xu Ran's head still did not weaken.

The destructive aura of thunder and lightning condensed again, and countless electric currents flowed and gathered in the thundercloud. Gradually, a layer of lightning flashed on the surface of the thundercloud.

This time, Xu Ran actually felt a little bit of excitement, but soon, his face became excited.

Suddenly, the divine aura of his cultivation was fully unleashed, and a thin layer of golden light formed on his surface.

Hu Niu, who had been observing closely from the side, couldn't help but sigh when she saw Xu Ran's attention.

"The pressure from this thundercloud is too terrifying. It actually made me take it so seriously!"

Zhu Yuheng also saw Xu Ran's current situation. "Xiao Ran wasn't that serious when he faced the Immortal Supreme. He wasn't even at the God level back then! Now he's being asked to give it his all!"

Guan Xin, Tang Chichi and Ning Shuang also agreed.

"Is the power of this lightning even stronger than the attack of the Supreme?"

"This is probably the most serious captain ever!"

"This is the method used by the ancient powerful beings of Blue Star!"

The five people finished talking.

Suddenly, an extremely thick bolt of lightning condensed in the sky. The lightning, hundreds of meters thick, hung above Xu Ran's head, like a Smithdake sword.

Immediately.

Lightning bolts a hundred meters thick fell.

"Boom~"

With a loud bang, the earth shook, and a crack as thick as white rice appeared opposite where Xu Ran was standing. This crack extended to the foot of the distant mountain.

"Boom!" Then the mountain collapsed.

A hundred-meter-deep pit appeared under Xu Ran's feet, and at the same time, a thick smoke rose up, making it impossible to see what was inside.

The thunderclouds hanging in the air also dispersed with this blow, and the sky became clear again.

At this time.

The figure that had been walking in the air also fell from the sky and slowly came to Xu Ran.

With a wave of his hand, the smoke surrounding Xu Ran dissipated.

Xu Ran was seen standing there unharmed, with electric current still flowing from his body from time to time.

"Hahaha, you are indeed the most gifted person in the history of Blue Star. Not only is your strength formidable, but your physical cultivation is even more terrifying. You can even resist my [Divine Thunder Talisman] without any injury."

Only at this moment did Xu Ran truly see the appearance of the figure.

Divine thunder, talismans, blue Taoist robes...

Connecting all the clues together, Xu Ran knew who the person in front of him was.

"Are you [General Tiangong] - Zhang Jue?" Xu Ran asked.

Zhang Jue nodded and said, "Yes, I am Zhang Jue!"

Suddenly, Xu Ran understood.

According to historical records, perhaps only Zhang Jue could possess such terrifying lightning skills.

Only someone with such heavenly thunder means can be called "General of Heaven".

Zhang Jiao glanced at the entire Miracle Squad and nodded with satisfaction, "Well, you are all very good, with extraordinary talents. You can actually withstand the tempering of my five heavenly thunders at the Yue Realm."

"Tempering?" Hu Niu and the other four were puzzled at the same time.

"Don't you feel that after being tempered by the heavenly thunder, your physical cultivation has been greatly improved?" Xu Ran said.

Now, the five people began to feel their own physical cultivation.

After feeling it carefully, the five of them smiled in surprise at the same time.

"Really, my physical cultivation has surpassed my Qi and blood cultivation!"

"Me too!"

"Me too!"

"Me too!"

"Brother, is this the reason why you didn't stop the thunder from falling just now?" Hu Niu asked.

Xu Ran nodded, "I knew everything when the first thunderbolt fell."

When the first bolt of heavenly thunder struck, Xu Ran clearly felt that his physical cultivation had improved a little bit.

Although it was very small, Xu Ran's control over his body was extremely terrifying. He could feel any slight change, so he knew it at the first moment.

Zhang Jue, standing by, applauded and exclaimed, "Not only is he exceptionally talented and powerful, but he also possesses such meticulous observation skills. It's truly the right decision for us to awaken early!"

Xu Ran asked, "General Tian Gong, the First Emperor and the Champion Marquis said that you have a way to enter a higher dimensional world?"

This matter is the most important.

Speaking of this, Zhang Jue said seriously, "Well, it's just that it's very difficult."

Xu Ran was fearless and full of ambition. "General Tian Gong, just say it. We will definitely accomplish this!"

Hu Niu and the other four also clenched their fists, full of confidence.

Seeing Xu Ran and the others so confident, Zhang Jue laughed out loud.

"Hahaha, since you are so confident, then I have no reason not to believe you!"

"When I first broke into the alien planet, I learned one of the secrets to entering the higher-dimensional world: a red orb that exudes the aura of the world."

Zhang Jue continued with a somewhat dejected tone, "It's just that I searched the entire alien planet and couldn't find it. Otherwise, I would have handed it over to you now!"

"Is it this one?"

Suddenly, a red gem appeared in Xu Ran's hand.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Jue immediately turned to look at Xu Ran, only to see that he indeed had a red gem in his hand.

Looking closely, one could see a planet inside the orb, imbued with the aura of the universe. Zhang Jue exclaimed excitedly, "Hahaha, this is it! This is it!"

Zhang Jue took the red gem, placed it in his hand, and examined it carefully.

Xu Ran had not expected that this red orb created by [Twilight of the Gods] would have such an important role.

Otherwise, you would say I am the chosen one!

Afterwards, Zhang Jiao returned the red orb to Xu Ran and continued.

"However, this one red orb alone is not enough. We also need other treasures of the same type. Otherwise, if we want to enter the higher-dimensional world, we will have to burn the lives of billions of our people!"

hundreds of millions!

Even if we were to do this, there wouldn't be that many humans to sacrifice.

What's more, it is impossible for Xu Ran to sacrifice his clansmen to accomplish this task.

Then he took out a colorful key.

"I still have the colorful key!"

After saying that, Zhang Jiao looked at the colorful key in Xu Ran's hand again with surprise.

After experiencing two critical hits in just one minute, even [General Tiangong] Zhang Jue could not hold on any longer.

All I could say was, “Good, good, good, good!”

As soon as Zhang Jiao finished speaking, Xu Ran and the other six people saw darkness before their eyes. When they regained sight, they found themselves in a new place.

After seeing what was in front of him clearly, Xu Ran's eyes suddenly widened. He looked around blankly, not daring to move.

At this moment, they were standing on a narrow stone, which was only enough for six people to stand, with no extra space at all.

And beneath their feet, there was only the endless ocean.

On this ocean, there are floating pieces of wood and roofs.

At this time, drops of rain fell on their faces, and the sound of "tick-tick" echoed in their ears.

Looking up, they saw heavy rain falling, hitting their faces painfully.

Looking at the endless "sea", everyone was a little dazed. They had never seen such a scene before.

"Brother, what should we do?" Hu Niu asked.

At this moment, Xu Ran already knew which great sage's secret realm this was. It was undoubtedly Dayu's.

The current scene should be the time when Dayu controlled the flood.

According to the records.

Ten thousand years ago, China suffered from drought for years. After the people prayed for rain, heavy rain suddenly fell. Everyone thought it was God's mercy. As a result, the rain lasted for 365 days.

Years of heavy rain have caused people across China to live in dire straits, with no place to live and extremely miserable.

Dayu took over his father's task of controlling the flood. Wearing a pair of straw sandals, he traveled the world, found nine giant tripods, suppressed the runes carved by the talismans and resentful gods, and successfully controlled the flood.

But I don’t know what the trial of this secret realm is.

Moreover, when they were sent out by Zhang Jue just now, they told him that there was news about valuable treasures in Dayu's secret realm.

According to the previous three secret realms, one would have to go through trials before being able to see Dayu.

Suddenly, while thinking.

In the distance of the sea, a black shadow suddenly appeared. Looking closely, it was a wave.

Xu Ran looked around. Except for the ground where they were standing, the rest of the place was all water. If the waves came, they would have nowhere to hide.

Hu Niu and the other five also saw the rapidly approaching waves and asked, "Brother, what should we do? The waves are coming."

Xu Ran thought for a moment and decided immediately, "Since there is no way to avoid it, let's face it head-on!"

Say it.

The waves were already before them.

"GuluGulu~"

Xu Ran and the others had been pushed into the water.

Suddenly, Xu Ran felt a sharp pain in his head, but soon the pain disappeared.

"This feeling?" Xu Ran thought.

"It's very similar to when I was controlled by the Dao Heart Demon!"

“Is this also an illusion?”

Xu Ran made a bold guess.

He had previously learned from Daoxinmo that Dayu died in its illusion. Could it be that this water was the medium used by Dayu to create the illusion?

Immediately, Xu Ran's eyes flashed with golden light, and at the same time he used [Breaking Through Illusions].

When he opened his eyes again, Xu Ran found that he was sitting cross-legged on flat ground.

Around him, Hu Niu and the other four did the same, with their eyes tightly closed, and expressions of pain appeared on their faces.

"They are receiving the baptism of soul water, don't worry!" A kind voice came to Xu Ran's ears.

Looking in the direction of the voice, I saw an old man sitting cross-legged in front of me. He was wearing a tattered straw raincoat, a straw hat, and straw sandals.

"Dayu?" Xu Ran guessed.

"Yes!" Dayu said, "I am Dayu!"

"I didn't expect that your cultivation talent is unprecedented. As a result, your soul power is so strong that you can directly break through my illusion trial!"

Obviously, Dayu was very surprised that Xu Ran could break through his illusion.

After all, his soul water could make even the true supreme being suffer, even if he had fallen for ten thousand years.

"I have experienced the Dao Heart Trial of the Dao Heart Demon before, and successfully broke it. The power of my soul has been greatly improved!" Xu Ran said.

Hearing this, Dayu's breathing became a little rapid, and he looked at Xu Ran with shining eyes, "Are you serious?"

Daoxinmo is an alien monster that killed Dayu, so it is normal for him to have emotional fluctuations.

Xu Ran also heard this from Dao Heart Demon. "Yes, Dao Heart Demon told me personally that it trapped you in the Dao Heart Trial, causing you to..."

Dayu waved his hand, "Indeed, my downfall was indeed the work of the Dao Heart Demon."

"I had just found the Nine Cauldrons buried underground in China. To avenge my Chinese people, I carried the Nine Cauldrons alone and ventured into the alien planet."

"At the beginning, the Supreme Beings on the alien planet were all suppressed by my Nine Cauldrons. They were unable to escape and suffered spiritual torture all the time."

"Later, the Dao Heart Demon from the alien planet descended upon me, and I was careless, and fell into the Dao Heart Trial!"

When he said this, there was a hint of unwillingness in Dayu's eyes.

"Unfortunately, I attained the Dao too late, and also obtained the Nine Cauldrons too late. My body was already broken and damaged, which led to me getting lost in the Dao Heart Trial and ultimately perishing!"

Xu Ran looked at Dayu and nodded.

Compared with the three previous masters of the secret realm, Qin Shi Huang, Marquis Guanjun, and Zhang Jiao, Dayu was indeed old and ugly.

If he had not measured the land of China with his feet during the flood control period and had not been familiar with every inch of the land, he would not have been able to find the Nine Cauldrons buried underground.

However, the Nine Cauldrons mainly target the power of the soul and do not significantly enhance the strength of the physical body, which is why he accidentally died in the Dao Heart Trial.

Then, Dayu smiled and said, "But this is a blessing in disguise for me."

Xu Ran's eyes were bright as he asked, "What do you mean?"
