Just then, an unexpected event occurred.
Another thunderclap resounded above Vermilion Bird City. The wind and clouds swirled furiously across the sky as countless specks of dust were annihilated in the void. Bolts of lightning, containing destructive might, slashed down from the heavens, as if to turn the entire mortal world into a purgatory. An immense sea of thunder converged, displaying a magnificent array as it stood in defiance of Zhang Yuge’s ancient silver thunder tree.
In an instant, the complexions of all the geniuses present changed dramatically. They all lifted their heads to gaze at the shocking phenomenon, their expressions a mixture of confusion and doubt.
"Such terrifying thunder!"
"Why do I feel that the power of this thunder is even purer and more domineering than that of the Longhu Saint Heir?"
"Who is making a move?"
All eyes followed that terror-inducing aura, finally settling on a young girl in a green dress standing behind Wang Xiu. Was it her?
Nobody had expected that the one who took the initiative to steal the limelight from the Longhu Saint Heir, Zhang Yuge, would be such a young and beautiful girl. Moreover, the most crucial point was that her cultivation level was only at the Core Formation Realm!
Ji Zidian couldn’t stand Zhang Yuge. It wasn’t just because the Dragon Tiger Thunder Method was flourishing while the Thunder Sect of Sanqing was obscure and uncelebrated. There was an even more important reason: this guy actually dared to bully Brother Wang Xiu!
Brother Wang is such a good person! So kind and gentle. He always wears a smile, and his presence is like a warm spring breeze. He’s courteous and polite. He was on the verge of turning several Cave Heavens and Blessed Lands, which originally didn’t think highly of the Sanqing Immortal Sect, from enemies into friends. If not forming direct alliances, at least they wouldn’t be deliberately targeted. But this guy had to come along and start blasting away, refusing to take the proper path and insisting on a bunch of flashy special effects to show off. Trying to prove how awesome he is? Brother Wang is generous and forgiving; he might not bother with you. But I can’t stand for it! Whoever bullies my brother is slapping me in the face! Thunder Techniques? Who doesn’t know how to use those?
Lightning danced across Ji Zidian’s body. The blue, thunder-shaped mark between her eyebrows grew even more brilliant, and her entire being glowed with a divine light. She fully unleashed the aura of her Sacred Body. An endless power of thunder transformed into submissive Flood Dragons at her feet. The terrifying might of the thunder blotted out the sky, sweeping towards Zhang Yuge.
An Innate Thunder Saint Body? Zhang Yuge’s expression shifted slightly, his heart filled with surprise. The Heavenly Master really hadn’t deceived him. The Sanqing Immortal Sect has declined to such an extent, yet they still have such an exceptionally gifted young woman. Truly remarkable.
But in a flash, the astonishment in his heart turned into excitement and intense fighting spirit.
The stronger, the better! The stronger you are, the more glory my victory will bring to the Dragon Tiger Thunder Method!
"Well done!" Zhang Yuge’s face wore a calm and confident smile as he lightly shook his folding fan, making no other superfluous movements.
The ancient silver tree behind him suddenly surged in size, instantly growing to a hundred zhang tall, blotting out the sun and sky. Countless silver thunderbolts spread along its branches and leaves. With a gentle sway of the treetop, the vast might of the thunder crushed down.
He could see that Ji Zidian was currently only at the ninth layer of the Core Formation Realm. Therefore, he suppressed his own cultivation level to match hers. His goal was to truly and definitively defeat the Thunder Sect of Sanqing in the domain of Thunder Techniques.
Above Vermilion Bird City, thunderclouds gathered densely. The overwhelming radiance of the thunder surged like tides, one wave after another.
"Innate Prime Qi, let thunder manifest in three thousand forms!" Zhang Yuge recited the mantra. Behind him, the hundred-zhang ancient tree’s branches swayed, and innumerable bolts of lightning condensed, bearing countless fruits.
Then, a ceaseless, rumbling explosion echoed out. All the thunder fruits burst open, unleashing a terrifying light that poured down like mercury. It endlessly transformed into innumerable ancient mythical beasts that charged majestically toward Ji Zidian.
Unshaken, Ji Zidian formed seals with her hands and shouted, "Divine Firmament Purgatory, Nine Heavens Thunder Movement!"
The firmament seemed to split apart. Bolts of thunder as thick as water barrels exploded, splitting into countless finer strands of destructive light that formed into an army of endless heavenly soldiers and generals to meet the assault. In an instant, the cries of battle, the clamor of the charge, and the roar of thunder filled the air.
"Metal Divine Thunder of the Geng Gold!"
"Urgent Heavenly Thunder!"
"Wood Divine Thunder of the Yi Wood!"
"Annihilation Thunder Finger!" Official source ıs 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩✶𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚✶𝕟𝕖𝕥
The battle between the two grew ever more intense as they unleashed one ultimate Thunder Technique after another. For a moment, the heavens trembled and the earth shook. The onlookers felt as if they had returned to an ancient battlefield, their hearts pounding in their chests as they let out unceasing exclamations of awe.
What startled them most was that even under such furious combat, the young lady from the Sanqing Immortal Sect showed no signs of weakness. On the contrary, she fought more valiantly as the battle raged on, her fighting spirit soaring to the heavens.
How freaking absurd was this?
Her opponent was the Longhu Saint Heir! He was the undisputed number one practitioner of Thunder Techniques among the younger generation, the Closed-door Disciple of the Old Heavenly Master of Longhu. He was touted as a prodigy who could become the youngest Heavenly Master in the thousand-year history of the Longhu Immortal Sect! Second on the Golden Core Ranking! A man who had once single-handedly crossed realms to slay a sixth-layer Nascent Soul Demon Cultivator!
Even though he had suppressed his realm, his comprehension and control of Thunder Techniques should not be something a young girl could possibly match!
"It’s unimaginable! To think that in this world, there is actually someone of the same generation who can contend with the Longhu Saint Heir in Thunder Techniques!"
"I’ve heard my master say that back when the Sanqing Immortal Sect was at its peak, the Longhu Immortal Sect’s reputation wasn’t as prominent despite its strength. This was solely because it couldn’t overshadow the Thunder Sect of Sanqing in Thunder Techniques!"
"I thought those legends were false, but who could have imagined..."
"Although the Sanqing Immortal Sect has declined, it was once glorious after all!"
"A camel, no matter how skinny, is still bigger than a horse!"
The crowd of young prodigies watching the battle had complex expressions as they looked at the disciples of the Sanqing Immortal Sect.
