On the other side, Lin Xiao showed no weakness, raising his broken sword to the sky, terrifying fluctuations radiating from him.
In that instant, winds surged, dark waves roared, and rolling black clouds poured in from all directions, gathering above Lin Xiao’s head.
An immense, terrifying pressure poured from the black clouds, enveloping the heavens and earth, causing everyone’s hearts to tremble, as if the clouds held world-destroying energy.
“Faint heavenly thunder, I am its master!”
With a thunderous shout, Lin Xiao’s long hair whipped upwards, his aura soaring. A deafening thunderclap exploded within the black clouds, torrents of lightning suddenly pouring from the sky, surging into Lin Xiao’s sword and flowing into his body.
“Thunder Forms, Thunder Judgement!”
Another booming shout rang out as Lin Xiao swung his sword downwards. A shocking thunderclap erupted, torrents of heavenly lightning, like a roaring Yangtze River, surged towards the divine blade aura rushing towards him.
“Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!” …
A series of earth-shaking explosions echoed, dazzling light flashing endlessly, illuminating the entire landscape, turning night into day. Waves of energy, like a raging sea, surged outwards, rolling in all directions, the ferocious fluctuations shaking the heavens and earth.
The void seemed swept by a hurricane, an ocean of energy everywhere.
This clash was terrifyingly powerful.
Everyone was stunned; the two’s strike had caused such a massive storm.
Even more shocking was that Lin Xiao could summon heavenly thunder!
Such a technique was simply heaven-defying!
Even the old man in the blue-gold patterned robe was utterly shocked. Summoning thunder to attack was something he had never seen.
And it came from a youth blessed with countless talents.
This strike matched his God-Given Power evenly.
On the other side, Lin Xiao was also surprised, astonished that the old man’s strike was so powerful, matching his Thunder Forms.
But Lin Xiao wouldn’t stop, immediately activating the Yaoguang Sword Technique.
Under the technique’s activation, the broken Yaoguang sword seemed to come alive, terrifying fluctuations radiating from it, rippling outwards like angry waves, an immense pressure enveloping the heavens and earth.
The entire world seemed unable to contain this sword, trembling as if it would shatter.
At the same time, Lin Xiao’s body became translucent, a dazzling white light emanating from him, radiating ten thousand zhang, illuminating the entire imperial city, the world so bright that everyone could barely keep their eyes open.
“Yaoguang!”
With a soft utterance, Lin Xiao swung his broken sword, a blinding sword aura bursting forth, carrying world-annihilating power, slashing towards the old man in the blue-gold patterned robe.
The old man’s expression changed drastically, pushing his God-Given Power to its limit, his body radiating bronze light, like a war god. He unleashed an even stronger blade strike.
A force of utmost yang and rigidity, carrying towering gusts, stirred howling winds, clashing with Lin Xiao’s white sword aura.
“Boom!” …
Another sound, like nine heavens’ thunder, shook the sky, torrents of energy fluctuations erupting, the entire sky drowned in energy and waves, the heavens trembling.
The surging fluctuations shook the firmament.
Everyone saw the old man in the blue-gold patterned robe spit blood again.
This time, it was far worse than before, his entire body blasted far back.
But Lin Xiao knew the old man wasn’t truly crippled and could still fight.
Lin Xiao couldn’t help but be shocked inwardly. Worthy of a Martial Monarch’s suppressed cultivation, this old man was so resilient, injured multiple times yet still fighting.
It seemed that, apart from the Heaven-Devouring Spirit Finger, other attacks might not truly cripple him.
Without hesitation, Lin Xiao abandoned other techniques, activating the Heaven-Devouring Spirit Finger.
The chaotic, sea-like vital energy outside his dantian surged, pouring into his fingertip, vast spiritual energy and endless Heaven-Devouring Blue Fire Spirit energy flowing from his meridians into his fingertip.
During this, Lin Xiao also infused a trace of the Nine Heavens Thunder Dragon Spirit’s thunder energy into his fingertip.
Of course, thunder energy was too ferocious, and he didn’t dare infuse too much.
After all, he had never used the Nine Heavens Thunder Dragon Spirit with the Heaven-Devouring Spirit Finger; this was a cautious attempt, adding just a trace of thunder energy.
Though only a trace, it greatly amplified the Heaven-Devouring Spirit Finger’s power, while also adding significant risk.
At this moment, Lin Xiao’s body was like a raging sea, forces and energies flowing, yet his surface was utterly calm.
“Truly extraordinary, able to defeat my God-Given Power and injure me, but that must be your strongest attack, right?”
Seeing Lin Xiao calm, the old man in the blue-gold patterned robe secretly relaxed, speaking.
In truth, he was deeply shocked. Others might not know, but he understood how powerful the God-Given Power’s augmentation was.
Yet, under such power, he was still injured by Lin Xiao. Deep down, he feared Lin Xiao’s earlier strike.
He grew wary of Lin Xiao’s repeated powerful attacks.
If Lin Xiao had an even stronger attack, he’d be in great trouble.
Fortunately, Lin Xiao’s aura seemed to subside, likely exhausted from the earlier strike and not yet recovered.
“If I say it’s not, would you believe me?”
Lin Xiao spoke indifferently, accelerating the circulation of energy and spiritual power within, buying time while the old man held back, enhancing the Heaven-Devouring Spirit Finger’s power.
“Hm?” Seeing Lin Xiao’s calm expression, the old man felt a trace of doubt.
Could he really have an even stronger attack?
“I don’t believe you have the strength to unleash a stronger attack!”
The old man shouted coldly, activating his God-Given Power again, golden light bursting from his body, masking his sinister face, making him appear heroic and divine.
Terrifying fluctuations rippled from him once more.
“Heaven-Devouring Spirit Finger!”
At this moment, Lin Xiao had condensed and compressed his vital energy, spiritual power, and spiritual energy, pointing a finger to the sky. A faint beam of light shot from his fingertip.
