I am the Thunder Emperor in the fight

"The Supreme Purity Secret Technique: Three Thousand Azure Cloud Silks!"

As he completed the hand seals, boundless azure spiritual light suddenly appeared in the void behind him!
Three thousand strands of azure clouds burst forth from the sky, not in a straight line, but as if they possessed a life of their own, spreading out from all directions, up, down, left, and right, from all strange angles, entangling and cutting towards Lei Xiao!

Their trajectories are unpredictable, their speed is incredibly fast, and they contain a peculiar spiritual power characteristic of "entanglement" and "erosion". Once you are touched by them, you will not only be bound, but your own spiritual power will also be rapidly eroded and worn away!

This is an extremely sophisticated technique of spiritual energy transformation and manipulation, which brings the softness, resilience, sharpness, and corrosiveness of spiritual energy to the extreme, specifically designed to break through forceful and powerful methods, making it impossible to defend against.

Lei Xiao frowned slightly; Tai Qingxuan's fighting style was indeed unpredictable and difficult to deal with.

He dared not be negligent. With a thought, the purple-gold lightning spiritual power around his body suddenly erupted, no longer condensing in his fist, but transforming into a surging ocean of lightning that swept outwards!
"Thousands of Thunder Tides!"

Boom boom boom!

Countless bolts of purple-gold lightning of varying thickness surged and exploded outwards from Lei Xiao like a raging tide!
Intense lightning filled the field of vision, and destructive thunderous power roared and raged, attempting to completely engulf and destroy the omnipresent three thousand strands of azure cloud.

Hiss... Crack!
The thunderbolts collided with the black hair, unleashing a dense, ear-piercing sound like rain.

Most of the Azure Cloud Silk was scattered, broken, and annihilated by the violent thunder tide. However, these Azure Silk were so numerous and agile that some of them managed to avoid the most concentrated impact of the thunder, penetrating the gaps in the thunder tide like a bone-deep infection, and wrapping around Lei Xiao's main body.

Lei Xiao's figure flashed rapidly in the thunder tide, his hands joined together like swords, lightning crackling from his fingertips, transforming into sharp lightning sword beams that precisely targeted the incoming strands of hair.

Each strike precisely severed several strands of green hair, but the broken strands did not completely dissipate. Instead, the dissipated Taiqing spiritual power attempted to penetrate his protective lightning aura like smoke, bringing waves of stagnation and erosion.

For a moment, lightning and green hair intertwined in mid-air, constantly colliding and annihilating, creating a magnificent yet dangerous scene.

Although Lei Xiao's "Tides of Ten Thousand Thunders" has a wide range and great power, it also consumes a terrifying amount of spiritual energy, especially in this Eternal Tower.

Taiqingxuan's "Three Thousand Azure Cloud Silks" may appear scattered, but in reality, they are manipulated with exquisite skill, using finesse to overcome force, and consuming relatively less energy.

"As expected of the most promising person in this generation of Taiqing Heavenly Realm to advance to the Saint Rank, I cannot compete with him in terms of consumption and delicate control!" Lei Xiao's mind raced, and he made a decision in an instant.

He abruptly withdrew the outward surge of lightning, compressing and condensing all the lightning spiritual power inward!
"Condensing lightning into armor, gathering intent into soldiers!"

Crackling!

The dazzling purple-gold lightning suddenly subsided, quickly condensing on his body into a suit of armor with smooth lines and covered with lightning runes.

Immortal Thunder Armor!

At the same time, he made a grasping motion with his right hand, and a purple-gold spear formed entirely from highly concentrated destructive lightning appeared in his hand. The spear was wrapped in electric snakes, and a cold glint at the tip seemed to pierce the sky, exuding a chilling aura of judgment and destruction.

Immortal Thunder Spear!

Clad in lightning armor and wielding a lightning spear, Lei Xiao's aura suddenly surged once more!
He abandoned large-scale area attacks and instead focused on refining his spiritual energy to the extreme to enhance his defense and single-target piercing power!
"break!"

Lei Xiao roared and transformed into a streak of purple-gold lightning that tore through the sky. Ignoring the entanglement and cutting of the remaining green silk around him, he thrust his spear straight at Taiqing Xuan's true form, who was controlling the green silk in the distance!
Wherever the Immortal Thunder Spear passed, a scorched mark was plowed into the space, and the remaining green hair crumbled upon contact!

Tai Qingxuan's eyes narrowed. His opponent was trying to break through his entanglement tactics by focusing on one point and relying on his extremely refined lightning spiritual power and powerful close combat attack ability!
With a change of his hand seals, the three thousand strands of azure cloud that were flying everywhere instantly rolled back, not for defense, but to gather in front of him, frantically intertwining, entwining, and compressing!
"Azure clouds form a shield, reaching the Nine Heavens!"

In the blink of an eye, three thousand strands of azure cloud coalesced into a massive shield, incredibly thick and gleaming with the luster of azure jade.

The shield is not a flat piece, but rather has a strange structure with nine overlapping layers, where spiritual energy flows and circulates in a continuous cycle, exuding an indestructible and profound aura.

The next instant, the purple-gold lightning arrived!
"Immortal Piercing the Rainbow!"

Lei Xiao poured all his strength and will into this spear, and a point of extreme purple-gold lightning shone at the tip of the spear, as if it were a condensed thunder star!
The spear shot out like a dragon, carrying an indomitable and all-consuming determination, and pierced fiercely into the center of the nine-layered azure shield!
Ding!
First came the extremely sharp sound of metal clashing against metal, as if it could pierce eardrums!

Next!

Boom! Boom! ...Boom! Boom!

Nine consecutive, muffled thuds, like the beating of giant drums!
The tip of the Thunder Spear cut through the first eight layers of Azure Cloud Shield defenses in an instant!
Each shattering of a shield unleashed a terrifying surge of spiritual energy, mixed with lightning and azure light, completely upending the surrounding ocean tides!

When the spear tip touched the last and thickest shield, the speed finally slowed down slightly.

Taiqingxuan's face was slightly pale, clearly indicating that maintaining the "Nine Heavens Palace" shield was extremely taxing.

He let out a low shout, and the Taiqing spiritual power within his body surged forth, pouring into the last shield, causing it to shine brightly with azure light and its defensive power to increase dramatically!

"Break it for me!!!"

Lei Xiao's eyes widened, and purple-gold lightning almost shot out from them. He pushed his immortal lightning intent to the limit, and his lightning spear once again erupted with astonishing power!
Click!

The final, crisp cracking sound rang out!
The ninth layer of the Azure Cloud Shield is broken!

The purple-gold lightning spear's momentum had diminished slightly, but it still carried terrifying penetrating power, piercing straight into Taiqingxuan's chest!

At the critical moment, Taiqing Xuan's body floated backward as if weightless, while his hands circled in front of him, and a gentle yet incredibly resilient Taiqing spiritual power swirled into a vortex, attempting to deflect the trajectory of the lightning spear.

However, the immortal and destructive will contained in the Thunder Spear was too powerful, and the vortex of spiritual energy only caused it to deviate slightly by an inch.

puff!

Blood suddenly appeared!
The lightning spear grazed Tai Qingxuan's left shoulder blade, leaving a trail of blood and tattered pieces of his blue robe!
Although the vital points were avoided, the fierce lightning power had already invaded his body, frantically destroying his meridians and flesh!
Taiqing Xuan let out a muffled groan, his face instantly turning pale. He staggered back a hundred feet, his right hand covering the wound on his left shoulder. Between his fingers, blue and red spiritual light and residual lightning intertwined and flickered, clearly indicating that he was trying his best to suppress the injury.

Lei Xiao, having landed a successful blow, did not pursue. He stabilized himself in mid-air, holding his thunder spear, and faced off against Tai Qingxuan from afar.

The series of bursts just now, especially the final "Piercing Rainbow" strike that pierced through the Nine-Layer Azure Cloud Shield, had consumed a considerable amount of his spiritual energy.

The Immortal Lightning Armor's radiance dimmed slightly, and the solidity of the lightning spear also decreased.

The two faced off across the shattered ocean waves and the chaotic currents of spiritual energy.

Tai Qingxuan looked at the wound on his shoulder, then at Lei Xiao, whose aura was fluctuating but whose fighting spirit remained high. The calm in his eyes was finally broken, revealing disbelief, solemnity, and a hint of burning passion from a worthy opponent.

"Breaking through the surface with a single point, extremely sharp and powerful... What a magnificent immortal thunder!" Taiqingxuan spoke slowly, his voice carrying a barely perceptible hoarseness.

"In this battle, I underestimated your close-combat ambush and spiritual energy condensation abilities." "It seems I have no choice but to use that move." Taiqingxuan sighed inwardly, a resolute light suddenly flashing in his eyes.

He stopped dodging and instead stopped, forming an ancient and sacred mudra with his hands in front of his chest.

This hand seal was incredibly complex, seemingly containing the profound truths of creation. As his fingertips traced it, a faint silver trail was left in the void, lingering for a long time.

"The Supreme Purity Sect-Supporting Divine Power!" Taiqing Xuan's voice suddenly became magnificent and vast, as if resonating with the entire world.

"The Primordial Seal of Creation!"

Rumble!
The world changes color!

Centered on Taiqingxuan, endless azure spiritual light soared into the sky!

The azure light was so pure that it contained a supreme realm of creation, as if returning to the ancient times when heaven and earth were not yet separated and chaos was first divided!

Amidst the azure light, a blurry yet enormous phantom of an ancient square seal slowly coalesced.

This seal is not a physical object, yet it is heavier and more majestic than any divine iron or immortal metal!
On the seal, one can vaguely see the sun, moon, and stars surrounding it, mountains and rivers rising and falling, and chaotic energy flowing down, as if bearing the weight of a newly born world!

As soon as it appeared, the entire space on this level of the Eternal Pagoda groaned under its unbearable weight, and countless tiny spatial cracks spread and disappeared around the square seal.

This is one of the highest inheritances of the Taiqing Heavenly Realm. It is said to contain a trace of the original meaning of creation. It can only be learned by those who have made great contributions to the sect or have extraordinary talent. It is second only to the thirty-six peerless divine abilities!
The illusory image of the Primordial Creation Seal slowly rotated, locking onto the rapidly approaching Purple-Gold Thunder Spear and the Thunder Sky that followed closely behind.

An indescribable, immense pressure descended, as if the entire world was rejecting and suppressing them!
Lei Xiao's lightning spear, which was as swift as a meteor, slowed down visibly, and the purple-gold lightning on the spear body flickered violently, as if it were resisting the invisible power of the world.

Lei Xiao himself felt a sudden heaviness all over his body, as if he had been trapped in solidified amber, and even the surging thunderous spiritual power within his body became extremely sluggish!

"town!"

Taiqingxuan's face was as pale as paper, clearly indicating that activating this seal was a great burden for him, but his eyes were firm and he uttered a single word of truth.

The illusory image of the Primordial Seal pressed down slightly!
Click!

boom!
The Purple-Gold Thunder Spear was the first to be hit, letting out a mournful cry. The spear body was instantly covered with cracks, and then it exploded into countless wandering arcs of electricity!
Immediately afterwards, that suppressive and pioneering power was applied to Lei Xiao without reservation!
Lei Xiao grunted, and the immortal lightning armor on his body emitted a piercing friction sound, its light dimming rapidly, as if it would shatter at any moment!
"What a magnificent Primordial Seal!" Lei Xiao was shocked.

The power of this divine ability is already faintly comparable to those thirty-six peerless divine abilities.

"Immortal Thunder Intent, explode!"

Indescribable, dazzling purple-gold lightning burst forth from every cell in Lei Xiao's body!

This was no longer the violent, destructive thunder of the past, but a more ancient, more majestic, and more supreme thunder!

Its color is as deep as a purple-gold starry sky, containing an immortal and indestructible will!
Immortal Thunder!

This is Lei Xiao's most core source power, the Immortal Thunder Dao formed by Mo Yu's comprehension of the Chaotic Thunder Dao and Lei Xiao's new fusion with the Immortal Golden Body!
"break!"

Lei Xiao exhaled a thunderous sound, and immortal lightning gathered around his body in his right fist. He did not use any fancy moves, but simply punched the illusory image of the Primordial Creation Seal that was suppressing him!

This punch seemed to carry the immortal will of the entire world, with the determination to end eternity and shatter the cycle of reincarnation!

Fists clashed!

There was no loud noise, only a crisp, yet unsettling, cracking sound, like porcelain shattering!

The illusory image of the Primordial Seal, which possessed unparalleled power and seemed capable of creating the world, was like glass struck by an iron hammer under the Immortal Thunder Fist. Starting from the center point, countless fine cracks spread out and instantly covered the entire seal!

next moment!
boom!
The illusory image of the Primordial Seal of Creation shattered completely!
They transformed into countless cyan light spots, dissipating like fireflies in the wind against the backdrop of a leaden-gray sea of ​​clouds.

"puff!"

With his sect's supreme divine power forcibly broken, Taiqing Xuan suffered a severe backlash and coughed up a mouthful of blood.

His face instantly turned ashen, his breath became extremely weak, his body swayed precariously, and his eyes were filled with disbelief, horror, and bewilderment.

His most powerful sect-protecting divine ability, the Primordial Creation Seal, which contained a trace of the true meaning of creation... was actually defeated head-on by the opponent?!

Lei Xiao broke the seal with a single punch, and the immortal lightning around him slowly receded, but the majestic aura that surpassed all things still chilled people to the bone.

His face was also somewhat pale; the exertion from unleashing the Immortal Thunder was terrifying, but his eyes remained sharp as lightning.

He glanced at the heavily injured and weakened Tai Qingxuan, but did not pursue him. Instead, he raised his hand and drew away the purest and most abundant immortal energy that automatically emanated from the other's body.

"You flatter me." Lei Xiao's voice was slightly hoarse from the battle, but it sounded even more composed.

Tai Qingxuan looked at Lei Xiao, then at his own trembling hands, and a bitter yet extremely complex smile appeared on his face.

He slowly wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and bowed deeply to Lei Xiao with utmost solemnity: "Immortal Thunder... I have learned my lesson. I am completely convinced of this battle."

In the battle for eternal immortality, you possess the qualities to determine the fate of the world. I wish you...the flourishing of martial arts.

After saying that, he didn't linger. He turned around and transformed into a slightly dim blue stream of light, struggling to break through space and disappearing.

Lei Xiao stood alone in the gradually calming Shenling Cloud Sea, silently adjusting his breathing and digesting the gains and losses of this battle.

The battle with Taiqing Xuan not only consumed a large amount of spiritual energy, but also yielded extremely great gains. As the third most popular figure, Taiqing Xuan possessed an immortal aura that far exceeded the combined total of the previous few.

Lei Xiao's immortal golden body then let out a longing roar, and with a suck of its giant mouth, it swallowed the light into its body.

This time, the act of swallowing was completely different from before.

On the forehead of the immortal golden body, there seemed to be a golden spot of light, and the immortal golden body also raised its head, as if gazing at this world.

Lei Xiao gazed at this scene, slightly dazed. He wondered if it was just his imagination, but he sensed from the Immortal Golden Body a desire to shatter itself and merge with this world. (End of Chapter)
