As soon as the profound meaning of Heavenly Thunder Soul manifested and the thunder souls appeared, they immediately engaged in combat with the three hurricane beasts.
In total, six colossal entities, each towering at ten thousand metres, made even some floating clouds drift only beneath their feet.
Their might and aura were unparalleled. Each one was a terrifying existence capable of destroying heaven and earth.
When they clashed, the ground shook and mountains trembled. Every collision unleashed surging hurricanes that swept in all directions.
Yet unexpectedly, from the very beginning, the thunder souls demonstrated overwhelming dominance.
The three hurricane beasts were clearly no match for the thunder souls.
“Hmph.”
However, faced with this disadvantage, the black-clothed youth remained calm and composed.
He let out a cold snort, then swiftly formed a hand seal with one hand.
Boom.
Rumbles echoed repeatedly. Hurricanes reappeared. Astonishingly, five more hurricane beasts materialised.
Adding to the previous three, a total of eight hurricane beasts now emerged.
“This fellow is simply too exaggerated.”
Seeing eight colossal entities besieging Chu Feng, juniors such as Yu Lie and Long Xiaoxiao furrowed their brows and clenched their fists tightly. They broke into a cold sweat for Chu Feng.
They knew Chu Feng was formidable, but they also had to acknowledge that the black-clothed youth was not to be underestimated.
If Chu Feng was a genius who surpassed them, then this black-clothed youth was equally so.
Crackle, crackle.
Yet just as the eight hurricane beasts launched their assault, seven more bolts of thunder shot forth from within Chu Feng’s body.
Each one transformed into an enormous thunder soul.
Now, a total of ten thunder souls stood before Chu Feng.
These ten thunder souls, formed from lightning, were humanoid and possessed bodies ten thousand metres tall.
Most crucially, upon appearing, the ten thunder souls did not attack blindly. Instead, they aligned neatly side by side. Then, lightning burst from their forms, intertwining like thunder chains, connecting one to another.
In an instant, a vast thunder formation covering heaven and earth began taking shape under the empowerment of the ten thunder souls.
“Am I seeing things? Could this be the legendary… hidden profound meaning?”
“Chu Feng has actually comprehended it to this extent?”
Witnessing this scene, whether it was the Yu Clan Heavenly Clan members outside the arena or Yu Lie inside, everyone’s expressions changed dramatically. Incredulity flooded their faces.
Even the strongest junior, Yu Lie, and the strongest elder, the Yu Clan Heavenly Clan Chief, stood dumbfounded, their faces filled with shock.
Upon seeing this, people both inside and outside the arena began asking questions.
Only after inquiries did they learn that the reason Heavenly Thunder Soul was comparable to a six-stage Venerable Taboo was because when ten thunder souls were released through its profound meaning, they could form the Thunder Soul Grand Formation.
Throughout the history of the Yu Clan Heavenly Clan, many had managed to release ten thunder souls. However, those capable of forming the Thunder Soul Grand Formation were exceedingly rare.
At least among the current members of the Yu Clan Heavenly Clan, no one could achieve it.
Not even the clan chief himself.
Yet Chu Feng, an outsider, had accomplished what no one in the present Yu Clan Heavenly Clan could. This was why its members were so astounded.
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
Seeing the unfavourable turn, the black-clothed youth did not remain idle.
He urged the eight hurricane beasts to launch frenzied attacks on the thunder souls, attempting to disrupt the formation.
But it was futile. As the lightning intertwined, it also formed a defensive grand array. The black-clothed youth was utterly helpless.
He could only watch as the Thunder Soul Grand Formation took shape.
Once complete, ferocious lightning blanketed the void for tens of thousands of metres.
The aura it emitted was extraordinarily savage.
If previously the thunder souls had merely suppressed the hurricane beasts, now, with the Thunder Soul Grand Formation deployed, the hurricane beasts were utterly incomparable.
“Die!”
Suddenly, Chu Feng pointed his sword like a command token towards the black-clothed youth.
Crackle, crackle.
In the next instant, the raging lightning within the formation transformed into a massive pillar of thunder light that hurtled straight at the black-clothed youth.
The eight hurricane beasts unleashed violent hurricanes, positioning themselves in front to block it.
Yet alas, the thunder light pillar was far too powerful. The eight hurricane beasts were shattered into oblivion in an instant.
The Thunder Soul Grand Formation lived up to its reputation. It was ferociously exceptional, far beyond ordinary five-stage Venerable Taboos.
But then, a startling scene unfolded.
This overwhelmingly fierce thunder light pillar, after pulverising the hurricane beasts, was actually halted just before reaching the black-clothed youth.
Lightning surged continuously around him, yet none could strike his body.
Upon closer inspection, people noticed that the black-clothed youth showed no trace of fear.
Not only was he unafraid, but a triumphant smile played on his lips.
His confidence stemmed from the purple radiance enveloping his body.
The purple radiance was merely a thin layer, rising like flames upon his form.
Yet this thin veil of purple flames stubbornly withstood the enormous and ferocious thunder light pillar.
“That… could it be a six-stage Venerable Taboo?”
Whether older generation or juniors in the Holy Light Galaxy, everyone’s hearts sank.
In theory, a six-stage Venerable Taboo could indeed be cultivated at the Sovereign realm.
But that was only theoretical. In reality, very few could master a six-stage Venerable Taboo while still a Sovereign.
Even top geniuses like Yu Lie and Sheng Guangyu had only grasped five-stage Venerable Taboos upon reaching rank seven Sovereign.
A six-stage Venerable Taboo was simply impossible for them.
Yet now, the technique displayed by the black-clothed youth, in both form and aura, closely resembled a six-stage Venerable Taboo.
If he had truly mastered one, then in people’s eyes, even Chu Feng would struggle to prevail.
A junior capable of wielding a six-stage Venerable Taboo at the Sovereign realm belonged to an entirely different tier of genius, far beyond ordinary prodigies.
Boom.
Just as the crowd clung to a sliver of hope, the purple flames on the black-clothed youth erupted like a volcano.
In the blink of an eye, what had been flames encircling his body transformed into a colossal entity piercing the clouds and descending upon the mountain peak.
Like the thunder souls, the purple flames took on a ten-thousand-metre-tall form.
Most crucially, the purple flames began to shift, assuming a humanoid shape. It was a flame giant wielding a long spear.
Though only an outline, people could clearly see that the flame giant was modelled after the black-clothed youth himself.
In simple terms, the flame giant was the black-clothed youth, and the black-clothed youth was the flame giant. The two had fused into one, exuding immense might.
Though reluctant to admit it, even the Thunder Soul Grand Formation formed by ten thunder souls appeared feeble before this flame giant.
At this sight, the last vestiges of hope in people’s hearts were shattered.
They were now certain that what the black-clothed youth had unleashed was indeed a six-stage Venerable Taboo.
This black-clothed youth was a genius of another calibre.
He was a monster among geniuses!
