Chapter 2529: Chapter 2529: Thunder Light Shining vs. Reincarnation

President Jiang Yue was not very familiar with Hou Yang Immortal Venerable, so his understanding of Hou Yang Immortal Venerable was far inferior to that of Mingze Sect Master.

Mingze Sect Master suddenly brought up the Netherworld Origin, and President Jiang Yue immediately connected it to Hou Yang Immortal Venerable having grasped the Netherworld Origin. Otherwise, what else could Mingze Sect Master mean by mentioning the Netherworld Origin at this time?

"That’s right! Mr. Hou Yang has already grasped a portion of the Netherworld Origin and can unleash the ’Reincarnation’ within it!" Mingze Sect Master replied.

The Netherworld Origin is an Immortal Technique, and it doesn’t contain only a single move. Take Thunder Origin, for example, which has moves such as Thunder Light Shining, Thunder Nine Strikes, Silent Annihilation, and Ten Thousand Thunder Prison. Reincarnation is precisely one of the moves within the Netherworld Origin.

"Hahaha... No wonder Mingze Sect Master can remain so calm." President Jiang Yue burst into laughter.

"No matter how strong Jing Yan is, it’s impossible for him to stand against Mr. Hou Yang, who can unleash the Netherworld Origin. President Jiang Yue, you may rest easy and simply wait for news from Hongmeng City." Mingze Sect Master said.

That Hou Yang Immortal Venerable could unleash Reincarnation gave Mingze Sect Master complete confidence in him. It could be said that up to this moment, Mingze Sect Master had never even considered the possibility that Hou Yang Immortal Venerable would lose to City Lord Jing Yan of Hongmeng City.

After this exchange of messages with Mingze Sect Master, President Jiang Yue was thoroughly at ease.

In fact, within the Heavenly Domain, all kinds of superpowers as well as many first-rate forces were paying close attention to the situation in Hongmeng City.

When these forces learned that Hou Yang Immortal Venerable, ranked third on the Immortal Venerable Golden Tablet, was currently crossing blows with City Lord Jing Yan, their interest instantly surged. Everyone knew that City Lord Jing Yan’s strength was terrifying; ordinary Cultivators at the Immortal Venerable Peak Realm were not worth mentioning before City Lord Jing Yan. But if it was Hou Yang Immortal Venerable, then it was clearly different.

The upper echelons of the superpowers likewise believed that City Lord Jing Yan could not possibly be a match for Hou Yang Immortal Venerable.

Golden Toad Commerce, Tianbei Sect, and that Tianyin Building, as well as the Sima Family and other superpowers, were all at their respective headquarters, using various channels to learn what was happening in Hongmeng City at this moment.

For forces that had industries in Hongmeng City, it was easiest to grasp the situation there; they had internal members stationed in Hongmeng City, and as long as they contacted those members, they could learn the specifics of the battle at the first possible moment. As for those forces without any industries in Hongmeng City, the transmission of information would inevitably be delayed to some extent.

Outside Hongmeng City!

Hou Yang Immortal Venerable’s Reincarnation had already been released. The desolate, ancient aura between heaven and earth grew ever more intense.

"What a terrifying method!" Elder Kang Li exclaimed in a low voice.

"Is this Mr. Hou Yang’s hidden card? This... doesn’t seem to be an Immortal Venerable Level Technique anymore, does it?" Elder Ge Yi stared nervously at Hou Yang Immortal Venerable’s figure.

"An Immortal Venerable Level Technique cannot possibly possess such a terrifying power. I fear Mr. Hou Yang has already grasped an Immortal Technique!" Elder Kang Li said.

Kang Li and Ge Yi both had no idea that Hou Yang Immortal Venerable had mastered the Immortal Technique Netherworld Origin. Only when Hou Yang Immortal Venerable unleashed Reincarnation at this moment did they infer from the power this method displayed that it was some sort of Immortal Technique. Of course, they still did not know that this was the Netherworld Origin.

Immortal Techniques were, after all, exceedingly rare. Immortal Venerables of Kang Li and Ge Yi’s level had little opportunity to come into contact with Immortal Techniques. In their entire lives, they had never even witnessed a scene of Immortal Emperors crossing blows, much less become familiar with many Immortal Techniques.

"Mm, it should be an Immortal Technique. Excellent, Mr. Hou Yang has even mastered an Immortal Technique—let’s see if that Jing Yan doesn’t die now!" Elder Ge Yi’s face quickly revealed an excited expression, his eyes brimming with sharp light.

And among the countless Cultivators watching, there were also some Immortal Venerables with relatively broad knowledge; they could vaguely guess that the method Hou Yang Immortal Venerable was unleashing had already surpassed the scope of Immortal Venerable Level Techniques. Some weaker Cultivators could not withstand the pressure of Reincarnation; their faces turned pale, their bodies trembled, and they could no longer think normally.

"Jing Yan, this move is called Reincarnation!" Hou Yang Immortal Venerable gathered Qi, and his heavy voice rang out.

"Impressive! Hou Yang, the trump card you rely on to swagger about in my Hongmeng City should be this Immortal Technique, yes?" Around Jing Yan’s body, the Thunder Attribute Law was abnormally active.

Faced with the Immortal Technique unleashed by Hou Yang Immortal Venerable, Jing Yan clearly could not possibly ward it off with conventional methods. At this point, even if he did not want to expose his identity, he had no choice but to use Thunder Origin to deal with Hou Yang Immortal Venerable.

"Swagger about? Hehe, Jing Yan, though your strength is indeed formidable, you are still not worthy of making me swagger in front of you." Hou Yang let out a cold laugh.

"Hou Yang Immortal Venerable, could it be you think that, in this world, you’re the only Immortal Venerable who has mastered an Immortal Technique? You think that, with this one move Reincarnation, you can knead me, Jing Yan, as you please?" Jing Yan’s lips curved slightly, bright light bursting from his eyes.

Just as that Reincarnation pressed down, the Dao Skills around Jing Yan’s body erupted in an instant, and strands of violet Thunder Light surfaced.

"Thunder Light Shining!" Jing Yan roared.

"Boom!" The raging violet Thunder descended like a violent storm.

Under the impact of this endless Thunder Light, the desolate atmosphere formed by Reincarnation was brutally torn apart.

However, this Immortal Technique Netherworld Origin also possessed incomparably formidable Power. The Netherworld Origin had only two moves, and Reincarnation was one of them. If one purely compared Power, then Reincarnation should be between Thunder Light Shining and Thunder Nine Strikes, or rather, very close to Thunder Nine Strikes.

Therefore, Jing Yan’s Thunder Light Shining could not realistically annihilate Reincarnation, at least not with Jing Yan’s current level; he still could not do it. If Jing Yan’s realm could reach the Immortal Venerable Peak Level, he might be able to use Thunder Light Shining to completely crush Hou Yang Immortal Venerable’s Reincarnation. But right now, Jing Yan had yet to step into the Late Stage Immortal Venerable realm.

In this kind of terrifying clash, Jing Yan’s body uncontrollably retreated. Around his figure, strands of violet Thunder Light coiled. One could see patches of black phantoms clinging to Jing Yan like maggots on a bone.

Only after quite a while did the Power of Reincarnation finally dissipate. And Jing Yan looked much more drained; he had been forced back thousands of miles from his original position. However, he still stood upright, without collapsing.

"An Immortal Technique! You... you’ve actually mastered an Immortal Technique as well? This is... this should be the Immortal Technique Thunder Origin. Damn it, what is your relationship with Thunder Emperor? Your going straight into Thunder Domain when you arrived in Kunling Heaven wasn’t a coincidence?" Hou Yang Immortal Venerable stared at Jing Yan in shock.

Previously, he hadn’t thought much of Jing Yan going from Faro Heaven to Kunling Heaven and directly entering Thunder Domain, nor had he linked Jing Yan to Thunder Domain. But now, Hou Yang Immortal Venerable had recognized the Immortal Technique Thunder Origin.

Hearing Hou Yang Immortal Venerable’s words, Ge Yi and Kang Li both widened their eyes, staring blankly at Jing Yan.

This Jing Yan was a member of Thunder Domain? He... had even mastered Thunder Emperor’s Immortal Technique Thunder Origin?
