The Three Great Sects were annihilated. Three handprints suddenly descended from the void, crushing the sects as if squashing three ants.
Many still thought this was a natural disaster, until the floating inscription in the void made it clear: The reason the Three Great Sects were destroyed was because they had joined forces to annihilate the Fairpool Sect.
At this moment, the entire Wymu Immortal Continent was abuzz with discussions about the Fairpool Sect and the Three Great Sects.
"I told you, with someone as talented as Senior Nora Xiu in the Fairpool Sect, how could it be wiped out so easily? Now the Three Great Sects have brought this upon themselves."
"That's right. The Fairpool Sect has always been gentle and never offended anyone. The Three Great Sects only destroyed it because they coveted the Spirit Marrow Pool. That's just too much..."
Almost everywhere, the topic of discussion was the same: the consequences of destroying the Fairpool Sect and the disappearance of the Three Great Sects after their invasion of the Wymu Immortal Continent.
......
Henry Cang was still in a daze when a pile of rings suddenly fell before him. Then Joe Di's voice sounded in his ear: "Take these rings. I've already delivered the Spirit Marrow Pool to the Fairpool Sect. Also, I've set up a defensive Guardian Array outside. Here is the control Array Banner."
As he spoke, Joe Di tossed an Array Banner into Henry Cang's hand.
He had simply set up a second-rank Divine Guardian Array. Even an Immortal Emperor could not break through a second-rank Divine Guardian Array. Moreover, this array was equipped with a strangulation restriction—anyone who dared to attack the Fairpool Sect's Guardian Array would be instantly killed by it.
However, Joe Di was certain that after this incident, no one would dare to recklessly attack the protective array of the Immortal Pool Sect again.
"Thank you, Senior." He Cang knelt to the ground, fully understanding what had happened. The predecessor before him was undoubtedly a powerhouse among powerhouses. Otherwise, how could he have annihilated three major sects without moving a step?
Not long ago, three handprints had fallen in the distant void, each landing precisely at the location of the three major sects. Clearly, it was this senior who had wiped out the three sects with three slaps. Now, the pile of rings before him only confirmed his guess.
With this pile of rings alone, he was confident he could restore the Immortal Pool Sect to glory.
Joe Di waved his hand, "I came here to ask you about two people, one named Joe Wangchuan, the other named Joe Qiushui. Have you ever heard of them?"
Before He Cang could answer, Joe Di's expression suddenly changed. Without hesitation, he tore open the void and rushed in, not even waiting for He Cang's reply.
Even after Joe Di vanished, He Cang could still feel terrifying thunderous roars echoing from the void.
......
Boom! Boom! Boom! Savage, colossal arcs of lightning sealed off all of Joe Di's space, crashing down upon him.
In that instant, Joe Di couldn't even summon the Void Mountain or the Yin-Yang Taiji Diagram. Lightning after lightning tore his clothes apart. Even his peak Sacred Body could not withstand these dreadful arcs, as his flesh was ripped asunder.
His bones were shattered inch by inch by the massive lightning arcs, but this was far from the end. In the next moment, even more terrifying lightning gathered. Joe Di seized the briefest gap to swallow a drop of Cosmic Essence, pressing two more drops to his lips.
Joe Di's ruined flesh was restored in an instant. At this moment, he frantically activated the Grand Kun Body Refining Art. He vaguely understood what was happening. Now that he knew, he refused to hide in the Ninth World.
You may escape today, but not tomorrow. He was certain these terrifying lightning arcs were intent on utterly destroying him.
Since he couldn't flee, he would face it head-on.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Unending, monstrous bolts of lightning swept in from all directions, pounding Joe Di relentlessly. This time, the lightning was even more dreadful, accompanied by thunder swords, thunder spears, and thunder blades. This was no tribulation—it was annihilation by lightning.
Crack! Crack! The sound of bones fracturing echoed again. Even Joe Di's skull was shattered, his body blasted into several pieces.
Any other cultivator would not have survived even a single strike from such terrifying annihilation lightning. Yet, as wave after wave of thunder crashed into Joe Di, he endured hundreds of strikes.
The first wave of violent tribulation lightning nearly tore Joe Di apart. When the second wave struck, there was a brief respite. But as the second wave ripped him open again, the third wave crashed down with no pause at all.
With indomitable will, Joe Di swallowed two more drops of Cosmic Essence. Once again, the Cosmic Essence rapidly restored his flesh and bones. He frantically activated the Grand Kun Body Refining Art, while the Rule Cycle also surged wildly.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
When the third wave of lightning struck, it was no longer just arcs, swords, or spears; now there were massive thunder hammers and waves of thunder resonance. This was Dao Resonance of the thunder element. This attack no longer sought only to tear Joe Di's body and soul—it aimed to obliterate his very spirit.
Joe Di roared, unleashing the Grand Kun Body Refining Art. The Heavenly Sa Blade cleaved through a mountain-sized arc of lightning.
In the next moment, even more lightning crashed down on Joe Di. In that instant, he felt his nearly shattered bones erupt with an even greater strength, as if he were forging a new world.
That power grew stronger and stronger, blocking the lightning that tore at his body. All around him, brand-new rules and Dao Resonance began to coalesce, solidifying Joe Di's flesh and bones.
Bang! Bang! Unending thunder crashed onto Joe Di, but even as his skin had just reformed, the lightning could no longer tear it apart.
Joe Di let out a long howl. After the Heavenly Sa Blade, he punched out with his fist.
Boom! Countless bolts, thunderballs, and thunderswords collided with Joe Di's fist, shattering the void into endless rays of lightning.

The void trembled again and again. Under the force of his punch, cracks spread through the void, leading to countless realms. Joe Di let out another long howl.
The thunder finally subsided, and the void slowly returned to normal. Joe Di stood in the emptiness, his heart surging with exhilaration.
His physical body had finally broken through the Sacred Body, advancing to a new level—one whose name even he did not know.
With a Dust-Cleansing Art, Joe Di washed himself clean. With a shake, a new set of clothes appeared on his body. He grasped the Heavenly Sa Blade floating beside him and looked up at the boundless void.
Not long ago, those dreadful lightning strikes had erupted from there. The lightning was clearly meant to kill him, but thanks to the Cosmic Essence, he survived.
In fact, even without the Cosmic Essence, when the second wave of lightning descended, he could have hidden in the Ninth World. But doing so would have left him unsettled. Now, by enduring the lightning strikes, his body had reached a new level, and he no longer feared any thunder. His heart was filled with exhilaration.
He had only destroyed three sects that deserved destruction on the Micro Wood Immortal Continent, yet the lightning found him. It must have deemed him to have violated the rules of heaven and earth, to have used strength to oppress the weak. But when those three sects tried to wipe out the Immortal Pool Sect, why did the lightning not react? Was it simply because he came from the Dao Domain and his cultivation was a level higher than those of the Immortal Realm?
What angered Joe Di even more was that when the lightning struck, he had still been at the Immortal Pool Sect—he was still on the Micro Wood Immortal Continent. The thunder, in its attempt to kill him, would have shattered the continent. If he had been a moment slower, the Micro Wood Immortal Continent would have been reduced to rubble.
It was clear the thunder was punishing him for breaking some unspoken rule, not to protect the Micro Wood Immortal Continent.
