Boom!

The lightning spears that filled the sky poured down like rain, instantly drowning the group of flying swords.

Guang Jiu was scared out of his wits. He did not expect a Nascent Soul to unleash such combat strength.

Crossing two major realms…

Gulp!

Guang Jiu could not help but gulp.

Is he still a Nascent Soul cultivator?

“However, the greater your potential, the greater the corpse you are refined into.”

Guang Jiu immediately calmed down.

“Divine Art · Sword Nine!”

Guang Jiu formed a hand seal and chanted a spell. The flying swords engulfed by the lightning spears rushed out and created a sword formation.

The sword formation was activated, and sword energy wrapped around it.

“Break!”

Guang Jiu formed his sword fingers and gestured two or three times in the air. The huge sword energy carried by the sword array instantly shattered Ritz’s attack.

Then, the huge sword energy slashed towards Ritz.

Ritz’s expression was calm. He took out a magical artifact and turned it into a huge bell that enveloped himself.

The giant sword energy struck the massive bell, producing a loud sound.

The giant bell shook violently, but there were no cracks on its surface.

Guang Jiu’s sword finger slashed again, and the giant sword energy slashed down once more.

The force was much greater than the previous time. Cracks appeared on the surface of the giant bell, but there was only one. It was not enough to shatter the bell.

“Hmph! Let’s see how many times you can withstand it.”

“Each strike is stronger than the previous one in this divine art of mine. When the ninth sword strike comes, its power will be greater than everything that came before it. I hope you can last until then to experience its might.”

Guang Jiu smiled proudly.

Inside the huge bell, Ritz was calm. He closed his eyes tightly and focused. He placed his palms together like an old monk meditating.

He didn’t counterattack because he was preparing a big move.

He knew very well that his current combat ability was on the same starting line as his opponent, but to defeat or kill his opponent, conventional attacks would not work.

In [Forbidden Ground Treasure-Seeking], Ritz had obtained an offensive thunder-type divine art.

This divine art had extremely high attack power, and there was a high chance that it could kill Guang Jiu.

But it could not be used instantly.

Simply put, the casting time was quite long.

So Ritz was forced into defense.

After suffering three strikes, spiderweb-like cracks covered the surface of the giant bell. It would be difficult for it to withstand the next attack.

Guang Jiu laughed sinisterly, feeling that the outcome was decided.

The gigantic sword energy descended once again like the Sword of Damocles.

The fourth strike was much more powerful than the first. It was enough to kill any creature below the Ethereal Form realm.

The huge bell that enveloped Ritz completely shattered after taking the blow.

With a loud bang, the giant bell transformed into countless sparks that scattered into the air like dazzling fireworks.

After destroying the huge bell, the giant sword’s energy did not stop and continued to slash towards Ruiz.

Guang Jiu grinned. “Thunder Soul, I’ll happily accept it.”

At this moment, Ritz, who was meditating with his eyes closed, opened his eyes.

His eyes turned into the pupils of thunder, shooting out lightning.

The illusory image of the ferocious beast behind him became more and more focused, revealing its full appearance.

It was a massive, bull-like beast.

The beast was single-legged and had no horns. Its skin was an azure color, and it was covered in lightning.

Guang Jiu’s pupils dilated when he saw the ferocious beast.

“The ancient mythical beast,?Kui¹. The mythical beast that rules over lightning and thunder.”

While shocked, Guang Jiu let out an even more savage laugh.

“I didn’t expect your Thunder Soul to grow to such an extent. To think it awakened the soul of the Kui.

“The heavens are helping me.

“If I can get it, I can also be ranked among the geniuses.

“Hahahaha——”

Guang Jiu laughed wantonly. He did not know that he was very close to death.

“Kui, I’ll leave it to you,” Ritz said to the Kui calmly.

The Kui growled lowly in response.

Immediately afterward, the Kui raised its head and let loose a thunderous roar as it looked at the massive sword energy descending upon it.

A pillar of lightning shot out from its mouth towards the giant streak of sword energy.

The two devastating forces collided.

The shockwave created a huge hole in the atmosphere.

Fortunately, their battleground was an undeveloped continent.

If people were living here, their fight would cause a calamity.

In the sky, the lightning pillar and the gigantic streak of sword energy were locked in a stalemate. However, the sword energy was quickly defeated and sent flying.

Guang Jiu did not panic at all.

“Brat, this should be your final trump card! But this level is still not enough to defeat me.”

“Since you’ve used your full strength, I won’t hold back.”

Guang Jiu quickly formed a seal with his hands and shouted, “Corpse release!”

In the next second, an array pattern flashed on the surface of the silver corpse. Guang Jiu’s consciousness turned into a soul and floated in the air.

The moment his thoughts left the Silver Corpse, the corpse’s eyes suddenly burst out with brilliance, like a ball of fire burning fiercely, with layers of ripples.

Its aura soared into the sky.

“Divine Art · Sword Nine!”

The Silver Corpse refined the divine art once again, and the streak of sword energy suddenly doubled in size. The sharp aura emanating from the sword was like that of a king who had control over life and death.

The [Corpse Release] that Guang Jiu had just used was a very common secret technique among cultivators.

[Corpse Release] was a secret technique to refine one’s soul in exchange for power.

After using the skill, the caster’s body would disintegrate, and his soul would suffer heavy damage.

This move could be said to cause comparable damage to oneself while destroying the enemy.

Under normal circumstances, no one would use it.

However, as a member of the Corpse Refinement Faction, they had dealt with corpses since ancient times and understood the art of Corpse Release too well.

After the continuous efforts of the predecessors, the Corpse Release technique was optimized to the extreme.

Not only would one’s physical body not disintegrate, but the damage to his soul would also be minimized.

Coupled with the unique cultivation method of the Corpse Refinement Faction, using [Corpse Release] wouldn’t have much of an impact on him.

However, since his soul was not attached to the corpse, the corpse would be in a very strange state, and there was a very small chance that it would go berserk.

At this moment, Ritz had sensed the change, but he did not panic.

“Who said I used all my trump cards?”

“You’ll see my real trump card soon.”

Ritz was calm, and he even wore a relaxed smile.

“Kui, protect me!”

With this command, Kui arrived above Ritz and spat out a huge lightning ball towards the Silver Corpse.

The Silver Corpse was now under Guang Jiu’s control and was fighting purely based on its battle instincts.

In this state, he could unleash his full strength.

With a swing of the Silver Corpse’s sword fingers, the sword energy around it spread out like a lotus flower, colorful and dazzling.

The lightning ball was instantly left riddled with gaping holes by the multi-colored sword energy.

The Kui continued to shoot lightning balls toward the Silver Corpse.

The colorful sword energy around the Silver Corpse seemed to be endless, completely neutralizing the lightning ball.

The Silver Corpse’s combat strength was much stronger than when Guang Jiu was controlling it.

At this time, the enhanced version of the sword energy moved and slashed towards Ritz, determined to cut him down.

Kui was enraged. It opened its mouth wide and condensed and spat out a large amount of lightning power.

A massive lightning pillar tore through the void and surged towards the sword energy.

The two forces collided once again, and the surrounding space instantly collapsed.

This time, the enhanced sword energy was not defeated. Instead, it gained the upper hand.

While the intense confrontation went on, a dignified voice resounded in everyone’s ears.

“The supreme God of Thunder rules over the thirty-six levels of the heavens and nurtures from the highest heavens.

“Transforming into the Ten Realms, riding the Qilin with his hair draped over his shoulders, his bare feet step on the ice.

“A nine-colored light from his finger seal and a whistling whip in his grasp forms his wisdom of rule.

“Capture the demonic imps, guide the roaming spirits, and benefit all mortal beings.

“As wide as the Milky Way, as bright as a thousand moons, sworn to the future.

“I, Dharmaraja of Thunder and Lightning, am the ruler of lightning. I shall bestow upon you lightning punishment.”
