NOVEL NEXT Chapter 429: Am I About to Break Through?
Bai Ziyue used Shrinking Inches, his speed reaching the extreme, leaving only a series of afterimages in the void.
But the Flying Thunder Beast itself was at the late-stage Divine Realm, and with its fleshy wings, it could propel itself with thunder, matching Bai Ziyue's speed effortlessly.
"Roar!"
The Flying Thunder Beast roared, and as it darted, a flash of lightning was seen.
Then there was only a burst of light.
Sizzle!
A thick bolt of lightning, like a pillar of heaven, quickly flashed out, striking fiercely towards Bai Ziyue.
Bai Ziyue's heart fluttered. He lifted his foot and transformed into a stream of light, rapidly disappearing from where he stood.
Boom!
A massive mountaintop was struck by the violent thunder, shattering instantly. Crisscrossing lightning, like a massive net, enveloped the entire peak.
A Demon Beast at the Spirit Communication Realm let out a horrifying roar but was exterminated under the ravaging thunder.
A large group of Little Demons didn't have time to react before they were blackened and charred, directly electrocuted... completely annihilating all life on the mountaintop.
"What a powerful strike."
Bai Ziyue's heart skipped a beat, and a hint of shock appeared on his face.
The power of this strike was not weaker than when he used the Silent Extinction Divine Light.
In the cold gaze of the Flying Thunder Beast, a faint hint of surprise flashed. Yet there was no hesitation in its actions.
Sizzle!
Soon, another bolt of lightning shot out explosively.
Bai Ziyue took a step forward, once again swiftly dodging.
But immediately, thunderclouds suddenly gathered in the void, dark clouds looming like a shroud, and the bright sky turned dim in an instant.
Rumble!
A sound of thunder erupted in the dark clouds.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
...
Then one bolt after another of lightning fell down like rain, almost covering a range of hundreds of feet around Bai Ziyue.
Bai Ziyue paused, and a seven-colored light flashed across his body, making him appear like an immortal.
Immediately afterward, a cluster of creamy white spirit light shot upward against the wind, like a white cloth, completely blocking the impending lightning, sealing it away.
Small Spirit-Banning Technique!
Meanwhile, Bai Ziyue's gaze flickered, and he tapped with his hand.
Hiss, hiss!
Quickly, a cluster of spirit light filled with annihilation, life-taking, and desolation charged directly at the fast-approaching Flying Thunder Beast.
A Thunder Shield immediately appeared on the Flying Thunder Beast, buzzing and crackling as it directly blocked Bai Ziyue's Silent Extinction Divine Light. Even though it quickly dimmed and cracked, the residual power of the Silent Extinction Divine Light fell on it, failing to inflict significant damage, and was soon extinguished.
"What formidable defense power.
Speed, attack power, and defense power, none weaker than mine...
Late-stage Divine Realm invincible.
This Flying Thunder Beast, could it be an existence with power reaching the invincibility of the late-stage Divine Realm?"
Bai Ziyue's expression changed, his heart sinking.
He had not thought he would encounter a Great Demon with power equal to his, reaching the invincible level of the late-stage Divine Realm so quickly.
"Not right..."
Suddenly, a sense of foreboding arose in Bai Ziyue's heart.
He suddenly recalled that the Flying Thunder Beast, like Hell's Snail, possessed traces of the bloodline of a Divine Beast, innately stronger than other Great Demons of the same realm.
Being already at the late-stage Divine Realm, its true strength was definitely not limited to this...
"Roar!"
The Flying Thunder Beast felt the pain on its body and immediately became furious, a trace of extreme coldness flashing in its pale golden eyes.
Its mouth opened, gathering power of thunder. The void immediately twisted, rippling with waves that seemed capable of tearing the entire space apart.
Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!
In the blink of an eye, a massive, somewhat pitch-black thunder light appeared.
"Boom!"
The pitch-black lightning spewed from the mouth of the Flying Thunder Beast had just appeared when it erupted into deafening rumbles, shattering the void, hurtling rapidly towards Bai Ziyue.
"Indeed, this strike... Peak of Divine Realm!
This strike had already transcended the late-stage Divine Realm level, directly reaching the peak of the Divine Realm."
Bai Ziyue felt the terror of the black lightning, realizing this, a trace of seriousness immediately crossed his face.
His figure rapidly retreated, as he pointed with his hand, a cluster of creamy white spirit light darted straight towards it.
Small Spirit-Banning Technique!
Hot on its heels was the Immortal Martial Hand Seal! Silent Extinction Divine Light!
At this moment, he couldn't manage to fuse the Immortal Martial Hand Seal and Silent Extinction Divine Light, only able to unleash each attack in succession.
Crackle...
The Small Success Level Small Spirit-Banning Technique swiftly enveloped the black lightning. However, as soon as it tried to seal it, the violent power of thunder shattered it.
The remaining force of the black lightning did not diminish, quickly striking the massive solid handprint of the Immortal Martial Hand Seal, shattering it instantly.
Following closely behind was the Silent Extinction Divine Light...
The terrifying black thunder ripped through Bai Ziyue's several attacking divine techniques one after another, like a hot knife through butter, crashing onto the Seven-Colored Tribulation Passage Spirit Light on him.
"Bang!"
The Seven-Colored Tribulation Passage Spirit Light on Bai Ziyue's body was extremely dim and teetering on the edge of collapse, yet it managed to withstand this full-force attack equivalent to that of a peak Divine Realm powerhouse under his continuous infusion of Dao Primordial Power.
The Flying Thunder Beast's initially contemptuous gaze suddenly flickered with intense surprise.
It was very aware of the strength of this strike. Not to mention Bai Ziyue, who was merely at the Enlightenment Realm Level of Immortal Technique Realm, even if he were a Great Demon at the late-stage Divine Realm Level, able to withstand this strike was exceedingly rare.
It hadn't expected that this tiny human before it would repeatedly foil its attempts.
Rumble!
Thunder roared and shot forth!
Its heart was filled with fury, and from its body immediately burst forth streams of Power of Thunder like ten thousand bolts firing at once.
At the same time, it used its Lifebound Demon Treasure for the first time, a golden alms bowl that was golden all over.
Golden Essence Thunder Light Alms Bowl!
The Golden Essence Thunder Light Alms Bowl shrouded overhead, with terrifying power of thunder quickly spreading, forming a massive cage of thunder, pressing down on Bai Ziyue.
"Wind Stabilizing Bead! Stabilize!"
Without changing his expression, Bai Ziyue unleashed a fist-sized bead that swiftly sent forth a peculiar whirlwind, directly sweeping up and stabilizing the power of thunder.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Following closely behind, Bai Ziyue's Spell-Dodging Divine Sword transformed into One Sword Breaks Ten Thousand Techniques, containing within it the 23-Layered Tower Sword Qi, turning into a sword light and fiercely striking down.
A black divine saber slashed down with a roar.
Seven consecutive "kill" characters evolved into an endless killing intent, delivering a terrifying blow...
One after another, powerful divine artifacts were unleashed, fiercely striking the Flying Thunder Beast's Lifebound Demon Treasure, resounding with thunderous booms and knocking it askew.
Immediately after, Bai Ziyue stepped forward without any hesitation, quickly charging towards the Flying Thunder Beast, raising his hand in a palm strike, which instantly condensed a massive, thick, and incredibly formidable hand seal in the void.
At the moment the hand seal appeared, a terrifying spirit light filled with destructive deathly power emerged, merging with the hand seal.
Sizzle sizzle sizzle...
A brand new hand seal condensed, resembling a shattered giant peak, descending fiercely downward.
Immortal Martial Annihilation Hand Seal!
Boom!
With a thunderous impact that shook the heavens, the Flying Thunder Beast's massive body was sent flying, crashing heavily onto the ground, instantly flattening the surroundings.
But soon, the Flying Thunder Beast once again soared skyward, its mouth wide open, a pitch-black thunderbolt shooting forth once more.
Bai Ziyue felt a chill in his heart and immediately went all out.
Small Spirit-Banning Technique, Immortal Martial Hand Seal, Silent Extinction Divine Light, Seven-Colored Tribulation Passage Spirit Light...
Various methods were unleashed with full force.
*He paid no heed to the consumption of Primordial Power, evolving various divine techniques, erupting in terrifying battle power, directly clashing with the Flying Thunder Beast.*
*Even though in terms of real strength, Bai Ziyue wasn't actually superior to the Flying Thunder Beast, especially when it unleashed its black thunder, its attack power had already reached a terrifying peak Divine Realm level, overwhelmingly powerful.*
*But under Bai Ziyue's frenzied assault, using various divine techniques and mystic skills consecutively, the power unleashed in a short time was equally terrifying, pushing strength to the extreme.*
*Thus, the fierce battle between them quickly reached a stalemate, directly shattering mountain peaks, displacing lands, altering mountains and rivers...*
*Bai Ziyue fought like a madman, casually unleashing various divine power techniques.*
*Within his body, the Dao Primordial Power was depleting crazily, yet he rapidly supplemented it, constantly maintaining its fullness.*
*The intense battle had put Bai Ziyue's entire being completely into it.*
*Power erupted, various forces quickly interwoven and surged, gradually becoming smooth, with a feeling of blending together.*
*Soon after, a special enlightenment burst forth, and Bai Ziyue immediately felt his Divine Sense and Primordial Power boiling simultaneously.*
*It seemed as if they were about to burn, and amidst their mutual convergence, they naturally showed signs of integration.*
"Am I about to break through?"
*Bai Ziyue suddenly felt alarmed, sensing a strong desire for breakthrough.*
*He immediately knew that, due to this fierce battle, his accumulation had sharply increased, reaching the peak, naturally generating a desire for breakthrough.*
"I should retreat now, battle is never a time for breakthrough.
Moreover, my Soul Energy is not much left, only over fifty thousand points remain."
*Bai Ziyue instantly became clear-minded, knowing that if he continued, things would take a turn for the worse.*
He hurriedly unleashed another Silent Extinction Divine Light, and at the moment it struck the Flying Thunder Beast, he spun his figure, lifted his foot, and stepped forward.
Shrinking Inches!
With a swish, he quickly vanished from the spot.
"Roar!"
The Flying Thunder Beast's spirit lightened, thinking Bai Ziyue could no longer hold on, and it quickly let out a frantic roar, spreading its wings in pursuit while spitting out another stream of black thunder light.
Rumble!
The power of thunder shot forth, its speed reaching the extreme.
Bai Ziyue frowned, reached out a hand, and immediately grasped a yellowed talisman in his hand.
Substitute Talisman!
This talisman was exactly what he had exchanged from the Palace Master of Jiuhua Immortal Palace back then, a Fourth-Grade Talisman, the Substitute Talisman.
*Even though the power within the talisman was somewhat depleted, its function remained incredibly potent.*
*He unleashed his power without hesitation and activated it.*
