Chapter 408: Lightning Showdown
Chapter 408: Lightning Showdown
At this time, the excitement in the audience reached its peaked. It was impossible for blood to not be shed.
A moment later, the battle gong went off as the referee announced,
“Begin!”
Thunderous booms instantly rattled throughout the entire battle arena. Many had to reinforce their ears just from the sheer impact of each booming noise.
At the same time, streaks of blinding purple lightning burst out of Lei Bi’s body, shooting high into the skies like a thunderstorm. Boundless energy frantically surged out of her Inner World and into the atmosphere. Her Divine Laws and Divine Qi performed a seamless fusion.
A beautiful purple lightning energy aura shrouded Lei Bi’s body as she quickly waved her True Spirit Sword at speeds naked to any Great Divine Sea warrior’s eyes.
An unending stream of lightning essence discharged from the tip of the blade. It instantly expanded into a massive size, stretching across the entire battle arena!
The miles-long battle arena became completely covered in thunderous purple lightning.
On the outside, the audience was shocked beyond belief.
“Lei Bi is actually pulling out her Thunder Domain on the first move?! No hesitation?!”
“This Thunder Domain can easily suppress any Great Divine Sea experts. It can even suppress half-step Divine Star experts! Unless Lee’s Law is superior, he can’t break this!”
Domain skills are a rarer type of move in Martial cultivation. It requires a cultivator to have a deep understanding of not only their Divine Laws but also of the Heaven and Earth Path and Source Law Path!
One’s control needs to be very precise when creating a Domain skill. It needs to perfectly fuse the principles of Divine Qi and Divine Law source together to create a powerful combination.
Lei Bi could be considered a great genius to even first-rate Sect and Holy Lands for achieving this step.
Within the purple Thunder Domain, Cain didn’t show any change of expression.
In this split moment, despite not activating his Chaos Spirit Force or Draconic Lightning Aura, Cain only felt a slight amount of pressure. The essence of Domain couldn’t penetrate through his natural, protective Divine Aura.
Perhaps he could test out his might in his base form. For sure, there would be other benefits to doing so. The principles of this Thunder Domain pulsated Cain’s Spiritual Sea. Out of all Laws, he was highly sensitive to lightning.
Under this Thunder Domain, Cain’s Spiritual Sea started to feel out a sensation, an understanding of a higher truth.
However, this could be studied later.
Toying around with his opponent was never Cain’s style. Only brutal, overpowering and domination suited him the best.
While in the Thunder Domain, the Chaos Spirit Force and Draconic Lightning Aura erupted out of Cain’s body!
50% of Chaos energy perfectly fused into Cain’s Draconic Lightning, causing his power to massively explode outwards.
‘Bang!!’
With a thunderous boom that made peoples’ hearts quite literally quiver, the Divine stone beneath Cain’s feet burst apart, the air visibly pulsated and tiny spatial tears sporadically appeared.
Cain’s violent Divine Aura smashed down on Lei Bi and even slipped through the Thunder Domain.
Even though many were expecting something outrageous, the Divine Aura engulfing everyone, suppressed many Great Divine Sea warriors even inside the safety of the audience Spirit barrier!
Lei Bi’s expression turned blacker than the abyss.
The grip on her sword slightly trembled. A stinging pain entered her eyes because of the dazzling brightness of the Draconic Lightning.
The pressure smashing down on her was even worse than the weight of thousands of great mountains!
At this time, even Cain was a bit shocked at how much power he was generating.
This was only half of his full force!
50% of Chaos energy was beyond expectations.
But despite his shock, Cain still properly reacted as he rapidly waved his hand.
The air and ground violently trembled at a wave of Law power.
Draconic Lightning burst out in a massive tidal wave. It spread out for miles, outshining the brightness of the Thunder Domain, soaring straight at Lei Bi.
The sensation of near-death swept over Lei Bi. Her pupils heavily contracted.
“Thunderous Comets!”
Lei Bi uttered a roaring battle as she performed rapid hand signs. Purple Lightning burst out of her hand signs, shooting to the skies like a beacon of light.
The purple lightning fused into the Thunder Domain, causing specks of lights to twinkle out of the top.
Dazzling purple brilliance covered miles along the sky. The specks of purple lights blast down at Cain, as they flew, each speck of lights converged into huge purple lightning comets!
Waves of boundless pressure exuded out of each purple lightning comet. The power of each purple lightning comet superimposed on top of each other, elevating the whole striking power by several degrees.
The purple lightning comets auras engulfed the massive stream of Draconic Lightning essence, freezing all of its motions.
“Oh?” Cain was a bit surprised. This level of Divine Lightning Laws slightly surpassed his expectations. It unleashed a natural suppression of his lower-level Laws.
Perhaps if this was some other genius, they would be hard-pressed for a counter-act. Cain however, gave a smile of satisfaction. He waved his hands and recalled his Draconic Lightning essence.
At this time, Lei Bi’s body violently shook after unleashing this attack. Bloody cracks appeared on her skin. Within her Inner World were similarly large destructive cracks.
Evidently, she was overdrawing all of her strength at once.
This kind of power made every Great Divine Sea warrior watching feel cold feet. Nobody felt sure they can survive this attack!
Even the Divine Star warriors hiddenly watching the match furrowed their brows.
The purple lightning continued unhindered, raining down towards Cain like a strike from the heavens.
In the face of this massive strike, Cain stretched his palm out. Blinding flashes of light spewed out like cosmic rays.
Out from the light discharged several incredibly long Draconic Lightning Chains!
Though they had the appearance of Draconic Lightning, these were actually Cain’s new skill, Chaos Chains.
When the Chaos Chains appeared, nothing could stop its momentum. Chaos Chains contains unfathomable power that can pierce through any energy attack or ultimate defenses!
‘Chi!’
With the screeching sound of piercing metal, the Chaos Chains easily shredded apart every purple lightning comet ray.
The Chaos Chains didn’t even stop there. They blasted right towards the top of the Thunder Domain and pierced right through without any resistance!
An overwhelming force spread right through the entire Thunder Domain. Numerous cracks rapidly appeared throughout the entire Thunder Domain until it shattered completely!
It sounded as if a million shards of glass went off at the same time. Airwaves chaotically pushed out from the energy shattering, striking the battle stage and the audience’s Spirit Barrier.
The Spirit Barrier lit up in a dazzling flash, temporarily blinding everyone in the audience.
When the light flashed cleared away, everyone’s eyes were drawn to Lei Bi lying motionless on the ground.
Blood spewed out of every pore of her corpse, and her expression contorted into utter agony even during death.
The backlash from her Thunder Domain being destroyed overwhelmed Lei Bi’s already cracked body. Coupled with the fact that Cain’s invading Draconionc Lightning essence smashed apart all of her organs and bones, her death couldn’t be avoided, even if Cain held back.
“This…one move? Without even some resistance?”
All faction members stared bug-eyed at Lei Bi’s corpse. Everything was built up so dramatically. And yet she died within a single instant.
Fearful gazes settled upon Cain calmly standing without any change in expression.
From this day onward, he would be 4th ranked across the entire battle arena!
No other Great Divine Sea can possibly hope to match him. Half-step Divine Star warriors weren’t confident in facing him. Even the hidden Divine Star elders took great notice of this ordinary-looking boy.
This kind of power was under Zhou Ping’s faction. As this thought emerged, the faction members started to pick up on another fact.
“Ah! After this, young master Ping’s rank will rise like no tomorrow! I doubt even young master Pei has someone like Sir Cain.”
“How lucky young master is…haah…if I could join under this faction now…”
With supreme might, many issues get promptly resolved. There wasn’t any need for extra, complicated steps in determining higher or lower ranking.
The only value that mattered was those has the highest strength.
For all various reasons, for survival and security, strength is what is absolutely needed.
This showcase completely demonstrates just how much of a higher value Zhou Ping has for the whole family.
At the direct descendent faction, slight surprise could be seen on Zhou Ping’s face. He had confidence in Cain winning, but not to such an overwhelming point.
Still, what was done was done and Zhou Ping could feel an eagerness for the future. He clearly knows that his status will greatly change in the near future.
Before Zhou Ping got too lost in his thoughts, he suddenly looked over at Zhou Ling.
Zhou Ping wasn’t sure what he was expecting, but all he witnessed was a completely indifferent expression plastering Zhou Ling’s face. It was as if this whole duel meant nothing, despite his earlier complex mood.
Truthfully, Zhou Ping wasn’t quite sure what to say at this moment.
But before anything could happen, Zhou Ling suddenly stood up.
He didn’t take one look back as walked off while saying, “I hope you enjoy it while it last.”
Soon enough, he vanished from Zhou Ping’s sight.
‘That’s a little ominous.’ Zhou Ping furrowed his brows.
There wasn’t any semblance of a harmonious sibling relationship in the first place between them. And now, it was evident to see their relations would be forever unchangeable from this point forward.
It caused some concern to swell up. But Zhou Ping didn’t overtly worry about this. With the backing of Cain and Amber, he felt confident to deal with most things his siblings will perhaps try to plan up.
