With the strength of the Core Formation Stage, unleashing this technique was, to be honest, very risky. There was always the possibility of losing control. But he wanted to win, and he didn’t want a meaningless victory, so this was his only option. That was why, before he made his move, he told Ji Zidian that it would be best not to even think about taking the hit head-on.
After all, if Ji Zidian chose to concede or flee, he could instantly unseal his cultivation level and regain control of his power. But if she chose to withstand it, it would be incredibly difficult to resolve the situation should he lose control. Any accident befalling Ji Zidian was not something he wanted to see.
However, a person’s greatest fears often have a way of coming true. Read complete versıon only at 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵⁂𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⁂𝓷𝓮𝓽
Ji Zidian not only chose to endure the attack, but she also met it with such a powerful technique of her own. Zhang Yuge had heard of the Thunder Sect’s ultimate technique, but he truly never expected that Ji Zidian could master it to such a degree of perfection. Such talent was simply horrifying.
And so, something even worse happened.
The aftershocks from the collision of their attacks directly pierced through the first layer of the void. But that wasn’t the worst part. The worst part was... that thunderstorms attract more thunderstorms.
An even larger and more terrifying tempest of lightning was drawn in by the commotion they had created. Endless thunder poured out from the void, tearing the spatial rift wider and wider. A destructive light, like mercury spreading across the ground, cascaded toward Vermilion Bird City like a waterfall.
It was out of control. Completely and utterly out of control.
This was no longer a problem that Zhang Yuge or Ji Zidian could solve. Once such a terrifying thunderstorm fell, it would instantly level everything within a radius of hundreds of miles. This was no exaggeration.
All the prodigies watched the scene unfold with pale faces, feeling utterly powerless before the cataclysmic disaster. Even Xiang Tiange and Li Zuiyue, who had been rushing toward Ji Zidian, were forced back by the terrifying aura, unable to get any closer. Despair filled every heart.
Even the Nascent Soul Stage cultivators sent by the Immortal Alliance to record the events could only stare, dumbfounded and numb. They were completely at a loss.
Zhang Yuge was utterly despondent. A wave of regret washed over him.
I know that once this overwhelming sea of thunder falls, Vermilion Bird City will be devastated, a veritable landscape of death and destruction. What terrible karma is this? If I hadn’t been so insistent on competing with the successor of the Sanqing Thunder Sect, how could this have happened? Unfortunately, it’s too late for regrets. In this situation, even if I were to use the Holy Artifact, the Five Thunder Heavenly Heart Seal, the most I could do is protect myself and those immediately around me. It’s useless for the bigger picture.
Just as everyone fell into despair, a voice suddenly rang out.
"My apologies, my apologies! My dear thunder brothers and sisters... my little sister here didn’t know any better and ended up startling you all. I’ll apologize on her behalf! Please don’t be offended. I’m so sorry to have troubled you all to make such a big trip! Do old Wang a favor and please head on back for now!"
Hearing the familiar tone and voice, everyone wore a strange expression. They looked toward the source of the sound and saw Wang Xiu, who had appeared at the very center of the thunderstorm, shielding Ji Zidian behind him. He had a warm smile on his face as he cupped his hands and spoke jovially to the raging sea of thunder in the void.
Everyone who saw this was dumbfounded.
What in the world are you doing? At a time , you still have the mind to be joking around? It’s one thing to try and sweet-talk other cultivators, but that’s goddamn lightning! Lightning without a single shred of emotion! What’s the point of trying to get friendly with it? Can it even understand you? And even if it could, would it listen to you? Do you a favor? Who do you think you are?
An undeniable look of absurdity appeared on everyone’s faces. Even Xiang Tiange and the others were stunned.
Has Junior Brother Wang Xiu been scared silly from worrying too much about Junior Sister Ji?
However, the very instant Wang Xiu’s words fell, a scene that would stun everyone beyond belief unfolded.
