Outside of Wanbingyuan, although thousands of Cultivators had gathered, they were not huddled together but instead clearly divided into their own territories. The stronger ones occupied areas closer to Wanbingyuan, while those slightly weaker stood further away, creating several layers of division.
Sun Zhe's gaze was indifferent as he walked forward at a leisurely pace, soon entering the range of these thousands of people.
The first area he stepped into was occupied by the Thunderer and Thunder Master. This area had the most people, accounting for about eighty percent of the Cultivators on this plain. They occupied the largest territory but were also situated at the outermost edge. Sun Zhe did not stop and continued walking forward; given his cultivation level, staying here was clearly unsuitable.
After a moment, having walked nearly a hundred feet, he reached the end of this area. Continuing forward would mean entering the territory of Mid-Level Thunder Sovereign Cultivators. Some weaker Sects also lingered here, but the so-called weaker Sects referred to those with Thunder Sovereign strongholds. Without a Thunder Sovereign Level Cultivator leading them, no matter how many they were, they would not qualify to stay here.
Yet Sun Zhe still did not stop and maintained his original pace as he walked forward unhurriedly.
"Brother, you can stop here."
A faint voice came from ahead, revealing a man in black blocking Sun Zhe's path. Sun Zhe's visible cultivation was only at the early stage of Thunder Sovereign, while moving further ahead would lead him into Mid-Level Thunder Sovereign territory. Although the Killing Intent surrounding Sun Zhe was somewhat astonishing, anyone daring to come here for treasure must possess some skill and have their own share of Killing Intent.
This man did not want another competitor appearing in front of him; after all, moving further ahead meant getting a step closer to entering Wanbingyuan and increasing the chances of obtaining Rare Treasures. Sometimes, success or failure hinges on such subtle details, and this man clearly was one who liked to pay attention to these nuances.
In response to the words of the man in black, Sun Zhe seemed to have not heard him at all and continued walking forward as if he did not care about the man's presence.
"Hmph, you are asking for death!"
With a cold snort, a flash of Killing Intent appeared in the man's eyes as he charged toward Sun Zhe like a ghost. His black figure seemed to twist, and several identical shadowy figures of the man in black emerged before Sun Zhe. This movement technique bore some resemblance to Sun Zhe's Ninefold Shadow.
However, Sun Zhe's Ninefold Shadow had long since reached perfection; he had mastered its principles. Moreover, Sun Zhe's Divine Consciousness surpassed that of ordinary Cultivators at the same level. Although this man's movement technique was impressive, it was nothing more than that in Sun Zhe's eyes. He immediately discerned the real body among the several identical phantoms.
Suddenly raising his head, a cold glint flashed in Sun Zhe's eyes. His right hand curled slightly as arcs of purple lightning instantly enveloped him, and an astonishing Thunder Power erupted forth immediately.
“Thunder Arc Claw!”
This was precisely the Martial Arts that Wang Kun had demonstrated in the tavern. This Martial Arts was indeed quite exquisite, but Wang Kun's strength was too weak; even the Thunder Power within him had just solidified and could not unleash the full power of this Martial Arts. However, Sun Zhe's comprehension of the Thunder Path was truly remarkable. After watching Wang Kun perform it once, he was already able to replicate it nearly perfectly.
If Wang Kun were here, he would probably be infuriated by the scene before him. Given his resentment towards Sun Zhe, he likely would not want to teach this Martial Arts to anyone, let alone to Sun Zhe. Of course, Sun Zhe performing this Martial Arts was also to disguise his identity, as he knew that members of the Golden Thunder Sect were among the thousands present.
With pure and unmatched Thunder Power, Sun Zhe unleashed this Martial Arts, and its power was immediately evident. The claws of light shimmered with Purple Light, dazzling arcs of electricity surged around, and the entire claw seemed to have solidified into a tangible form. Every curve radiated brilliance, resembling a true claw made of Purple Thunder, exuding an extremely terrifying aura of brutality.
With a cold glint in his eyes, Sun Zhe swung his right hand without hesitation. The incredibly violent Purple Lightning Claw shot out from his hand, expanding rapidly into a giant claw over ten feet long. As it grew larger, its might increased threefold as it directly reached for one of the shadowy figures of the man in black.
This shadow was precisely where the man in black's true body was located!
At this moment, the man's expression changed drastically as he realized he had kicked a steel plate. Not only did Sun Zhe's displayed cultivation far surpass that of an average early-stage Thunder Sovereign Cultivator, but his ability to discern where the true body was located also shocked him. Even an average late-stage Thunder Sovereign Cultivator might not be able to do that.
“Brother, please stop! I am blind to your greatness and have made a mistake!” The man in black retreated violently while loudly apologizing to Sun Zhe.
Damn it! He must have concealed his cultivation; he is definitely a strong practitioner above late-stage Thunder Sovereign! The man in black cursed inwardly. Although he was extremely angry at Sun Zhe, he could not show it on his face and instead displayed an expression of utmost sincerity.
The battle here had attracted the attention of many onlookers. A battle at the level of Thunder Sovereign could easily draw their interest, especially since the man in black was a well-known Cultivator within the early-stage area of Thunder Sovereign. It was unexpected that he would be scared into repeatedly apologizing by an unfamiliar Cultivator, which undoubtedly piqued everyone's curiosity even more.
However, Sun Zhe remained unfazed, ignoring the man in black's apologies. He swung his right hand again, and the massive claw transformed into a bolt of Purple Lightning, fiercely descending upon the man in black with speed far exceeding his ability to evade.
“Ah…”
A piercing scream echoed as the giant claw vanished in an instant, directly piercing into the man's chest. Crimson blood sprayed forth, instantly staining the empty canvas with deep red. With a muffled thud, his body fell straight down, his eyes still filled with disbelief.
Retracting his right hand, Sun Zhe continued to walk forward without a care, his face unflushed and heart steady, as if nothing unusual had just occurred, as if he had merely done something trivial.
This was a blatant display of intimidation; although everyone understood Sun Zhe's intent, no one dared to provoke him. The black-clad man from the early stages of Soul Sovereign had died with a single move. While fear played a part in this, Sun Zhe's overwhelming strength was undeniably evident to all. He was undoubtedly a powerful figure above the late stages of Soul Sovereign, and such strength was enough to earn the respect of the crowd.
As Sun Zhe approached again, those in front willingly cleared a path. A few even took the initiative to greet him and show goodwill. The power Sun Zhe displayed placed him among the top tier of the thousands present.
"I want your position."
Stopping in his tracks, Sun Zhe calmly looked at the elder sitting on the large stone ahead and slowly spoke. This elder was a powerful figure in the late stages of Soul Sovereign.
Without a word of hesitation, the elder left his original position.
Sun Zhe's displayed strength could already be compared to that of a late-stage Thunder Sovereign Cultivator, yet no one dared to assert that he had not concealed further power. At least this elder did not wish to take that risk; if Sun Zhe truly had more hidden strength, his fate would likely not be much better than that of the black-clad man earlier. Rather than contesting with Sun Zhe, it would be wiser to step back and seize another position. With his cultivation level, taking another spot would not be too difficult.
After the elder left, Sun Zhe unceremoniously sat down on the large stone. Strength determined status; Sun Zhe had long since adapted to the rules of this world. He raised his gaze forward, where lay the area established by the Thunder Lord Expert.
