Chapter 669: Heavenly Thunder Descends Once More!
The killing intent of the forces of the Great Dao Celestial Army and Naraka flashed, overwhelming the surroundings in an instant.
Truth be told, both Yue Yin and Gu Suwan were thoroughly unnerved! Even if there were 10 of them, they'd still feel intimidated!
"Yun Xiao!" The two women stared fixedly ahead, their voices trembling as they called out.
"Let's whet the appetite first," Yun Xiao declared.
Then, his gaze pierced through the demonic miasma filling the skies, landing on the Thunder Immortal Formation above.
"Last time, annihilating 10,000 Immortals of the Thunder Department cost you much of your divine might. However, today, using you to wipe out a few foot soldiers should be no problem."
By using the Thunder Immortal Formation again today, Yun Xiao's control over it could no longer be concealed. But with his identity already exposed, there was nothing left to hide!
In this life-or-death moment, lightning storms suddenly flared in Yun Xiao’s eyes, illuminating heaven and earth!
He pointed towards the sky!
From his fingertip, an azure serpent burst forth, piercing through the demonic wind in an instant, and entered the Thunder Immortal Formation."Divine thunder is the law, the fate of sinners and demons is ordained!"
These words remained still until moved, and once moved, they shocked the heavens!
BUZZ! In an instant, a myriad of thunderbolts exploded from Yun Xiao's body!
At this moment, the youth was like a thunder god descended to earth, his hair flying wildly, lightning bursting around him, his chest armor gleaming fiercely, his face filled with righteous fury!
"Annihilate them!"
A thunderous roar shook from Yun Xiao's mouth, ascending to the heavens, resonating down from the Thunder Immortal Formation, forming a sky filled with thunderous explosions!
The thunderous youth pointed with his hand!
BOOM! Above the vast skies, thousands of black thunder columns violently tore through space, like a thousand black electric dragons roaring and striking down, targeting the Great Horned Immortals and celestial generals!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! Thunder exploded, electric arcs burst forth, and where the black thunder columns passed, the Great Horned Immortals were torn apart, their limbs scattered. The celestial generals struck by the heavenly thunder were blasted into charred corpses, instantly sent to their deaths!
"Ahhhh!"
Screams of terrifying despair drowned out the mournful winds, echoing throughout the heart of the Thunder Department!
Those Great Horned Immortals and celestial generals who had sown chaos during the day endured Yun Xiao's first wave of wrath. The demons were not yet dead, but the ground where they stood had been plowed into charred pits by a sky full of thunder columns!
It was evident that the power of the Thunder Immortal Formation this time was not as great as before. Some immortals were not annihilated outright; some even left partial remains, whereas previously, they had been obliterated body and soul!
Even so, this explosive scene made the invaders fully realize the terror of Yun Xiao!
The Great Dao Celestial Army was unaware that the previous calamity of the Thunder Department had been Yun Xiao’s doing.
The Flame Virtue General and Aqua Admiral saw their troops nearly wiped out in one fell swoop. Their faces contorted and split in fury!
"He indeed has a trump card!"
A brutally ruthless trump card!
And then—
The advancing demons, witnessing the tragedy of the Great Dao Celestial Army, stopped dead in their tracks, horror-stricken, staring at the youth in platinum armor who seemed fused with the heavenly formation above!
BUZZ! The youth’s eyes, surging with thunder, swept over the horde of demons!
"How dare you desecrate the sacred land of the Thunder Department with your vile presence?"
With both hands raised to the heavens as if grasping the thunder of the Celestial Court, his eyes sparked with electric light, his palms flipped, pressing down upon the demons around him!
"Flee quickly!!"
The demons howled in agony, their faces ashen!
But it was too late!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! The Thunder Immortal Formation quaked to its limit, as if unleashing all its remaining power to purge the evil!
Where Yun Xiao pressed his hands, black thunder once again descended, creating explosive arcs of electricity that swept over the surrounding demons!
Where the electric arcs swept through, corpses and blood flew everywhere, accompanied by countless screams.
ZAP! ZAP! ZAP!
Where the storm-like electric arcs passed, countless dismembered bodies of demons thudded onto the ground!
Arms were arms, heads were heads!
And there were the eyes of those who had died in terror!
Furious lightning continued to flash within the demon fog, engulfing the Divine Heaven Jade Purity Office in endless thunder, as if the whole world was being devoured by thunderbolts!
"Terrifying…"
Across the Thunder Department, numerous Arbiters opened their mouths wide, their eyes bulging as they watched the central area being bombarded by heavenly thunder!
The night made the thunder more explosive!
Flashes of lightning illuminated a whole region, illuminating the Thunder Department as if it were day!
Above on the Thunder Immortal Formation, a face, immense and impassive, formed amidst the writhing snakes of electricity!
This colossal visage, looking down upon the lands of the Thunder Department with eyes ablaze with fury, spewed forth thunderbolts of immense force, obliterating everything within the Divine Heaven Jade Purity Office!
Such a magnificent spectacle was etched into the memory of all the Arbiters of the Thunder Department for a lifetime!
"That's Lu Yao!"
A wave of electrifying cheers spread through the streets of the Thunder Department, almost rivaling the sound of thunder.
"Lu Yao commands the Thunder Immortal Formation, locked in a battle to the death with the demons!"
"He is the future supreme Immortal of the Thunder Department!"
"When the Champion emerges, who dares compete!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
At this moment, who still remembered the Nine Thunders Sovereign?
The savior of the Thunder Department, the slayer of evil demons, was none other than the young Arbiter Lu Yao from a frontier city!
Who would think about the previous thunder calamity at such a time?
Lu Yao’s name, louder than thunder, shook the heavens!
The entire Thunder Department shone in the storm of thunder belonging to Lu Yao!
Under the barrage of this storm, the Great Dao Celestial Army's forces were devastated, and the 3,000 demons were decimated.
The Cao Immortal Manor, flattened to the ground, now had a crater blasted more than ten feet deep, leaving only blackened earth as far as the eye could see!
And at the very center of that scorched earth, Yun Xiao dispersed his lightning and descended from the sky, stepping onto the ground!
After the thunderous roars, all suddenly fell silent!
Yue Yin and Gu Suwan, though they had known that Yun Xiao had caused the previous calamity, were still profoundly shaken by watching him obliterate everything once more.
Who could rival such a youth in brilliance?
Yet, with such power, was he too fierce, too lacking in restraint?
Looking around at the thick smoke, Yue Yin, though exhilarated, voiced her concerns. "Two thunder calamities must have exhausted the power of the Thunder Immortal Formation, right?"
Hearing this, Gu Suwan also looked up at the sky, only to see the supreme divine authority of the Thunder Department, the embodiment of celestial law and order, the Thunder Immortal Formation, having dimmed and contracted after its recent eruption, devoid of any divine might…
"The Great Dao Celestial Army's forces, and the 3,000 demons… they're nearly obliterated. But all their top elites are still alive, including the two Supreme Generals and those two great demons," Gu Suwan said softly, her voice heated with tension.
She knew these formidable beings were the true challenge of the night.
After the prior thunder calamity, the Thunder Immortal Formation was unable to deal with them tonight.
Had it been possible, Yun Xiao would have targeted the strong first.
In the face of their rising anxieties, Yun Xiao remained as calm as a quiet sea. He reached out, stroking the silken head of Pale Revenant, and said gently, "Eat slowly, there’s no rush."
"Mhmm," Pale Revenant nodded, transforming into a swirl of blue water that rolled away beneath his feet.
Then, the air seemed to freeze.
The wind picked up again, growing colder.
The heart-wrenching cries crept into their ears like ants.
Yun Xiao looked up.
In the wind, a woman in a red robe covered her face, her hollow eyes peeking through her fingers as she laughed ominously.
Beside her, a handsome man in green tilted his head, slightly frustrated, "My dear, your temper really does cause headaches."
He shook his head, laughing.
Behind them, about twenty Anima Tribulation Realm demons, each as capable as Cao Sheng, emerged from the mist, their eyes blood-red as they stared at Yun Xiao.
"Have you had enough fun?"
On the other side, a group of disheveled figures climbed from the ruins.
It was Zhu Shenlu, Yu Shiling, and 10 Rank 3 celestials generals, almost unscathed.
The strong ones were all present!
Their murderous intent and oppressive aura reassembled, pressing down on Yun Xiao.
"You've had your fun, now it's our turn," Zhu Shenlu said, his voice hoarse, his face ferocious.
"Ah, I can't wait to see your performance." Yun Xiao's smile made at least half of them shudder.
Zhu Shenlu, Yu Shiling, Wind Fiend, and Greenchild exchanged glances. Their eyes burst with lethal intent as they moved again to surround Yun Xiao.
"Wait." Yun Xiao suddenly called out, then turned to look at his shadow, saying, "This shadow devil, before you die, why not show your face to the audience?"
