Qi Tian was so furious he felt like cursing his own mother. The nine heavenly thunders were not only extraordinarily powerful, but they also seemed to have grown eyes. They ignored everyone else and chased only him.
The most terrifying part was that after the first strike, the nine thunders did not stop. They erupted with even more horrifying momentum, like nine enraged divine dragons sweeping across the sky, pursuing him once again.
Their speed had become faster too.
“Boom!”
Qi Tian was blasted away. His body was severed at the waist, blood spraying in all directions.
Yet the nine heavenly thunders did not pause. Carrying world-destroying power, they continued to bombard Qi Tian.
This scene left everyone in shock.
“What exactly is going on?”
“With so many people present, why do the nine heavenly thunders chase no one else, only Divine Son Qi Tian?”
“This seems like… heavenly retribution!”
“Heavenly retribution? Are you saying Divine Son Qi Tian did something that outraged both heaven and man, so he incurred heavenly retribution?”
Remember the website.
“Nonsense! Divine Son Qi Tian is deeply loyal and righteous. How could he possibly do something that outrages both heaven and man?”
“…”
Seeing Qi Tian pursued and struck by the nine heavenly thunders, Xiao Yichen was first startled, then his face revealed delight.
“Truly heaven helps me.”
“Who would have thought heavenly thunder would suddenly descend and entangle Qi Tian.”
“Excellent. One fewer powerful rival.”
With this thought, Xiao Yichen unleashed overwhelming strength, repeatedly striking the killing array with his palms.
Wang Cong, Wu Qinghao, and Li Jian all stared fixedly at Qi Tian.
Each harboured different thoughts.
“Qi Tian, you must not die under heavenly thunder. I am still counting on you to help me deal with Chen Tianming,” Wang Cong thought.
Wu Qinghao inwardly cheered, “Strike harder, strike fiercely, strike him until his soul scatters. Then my chances of obtaining the Dragon Emperor inheritance will increase.”
Li Jian was filled with astonishment. “Those nine heavenly thunders do indeed seem somewhat like heavenly retribution.”
“Strange. What exactly did Qi Tian do to provoke the Heavenly Dao?”
“Brother Qi, you must hold on!”
On the other side.
After his body was severed by heavenly thunder, Qi Tian swiftly employed a secret technique. His body instantly regenerated.
He continued to flee.
Yet no matter what methods he used, he could not shake off the nine heavenly thunders.
The nine thunders seemed determined to pursue him to the death. Even if he hid in the eighteenth level of hell, they would not let him go.
“Boom!”
In a moment of distraction, Qi Tian was struck and hurled away again.
This time, his entire body was shattered. Bone fragments and flesh scattered across the sky. Only his primordial spirit escaped.
Worthy of being the foremost divine son of the Yin-Yang Sect, Qi Tian’s methods were formidable. In an instant, his physical body reformed.
The nine heavenly thunders pursued relentlessly.
As he fled, Qi Tian thought, “The power of these nine heavenly thunders is too great. Even a saint would be unable to withstand them.”
“No good. I must find a way to shake them off.”
“Otherwise, not only will I fail to obtain the Dragon Emperor inheritance, but I will be struck to death by them.”
Thinking this, Qi Tian bit through the tip of his tongue and spat out a mouthful of essence blood.
Then he burned that essence blood, silently chanting an incantation. With that, he charged straight towards the cave.
Xiao Yichen, who was breaking the array, saw Qi Tian rushing over while trailed by the nine heavenly thunders. He jumped in fright and hastily dodged aside.
Qi Tian’s body crashed into the saint-level killing array. At the same moment, the nine heavenly thunders also struck the array.
“Boom!”
Instantly, both Qi Tian and the saint-level killing array were reduced to powder by the nine heavenly thunders. The cave entrance grew larger amid a cloud of dust.
Only then did the nine heavenly thunders vanish without a trace.
“Divine Son Qi Tian is dead?”
“Who would have thought the foremost divine son of the Yin-Yang Sect would perish under heavenly thunder.”
“What a pity.”
“Indeed. If Qi Tian had not died, he would very likely have proven the Dao and become an emperor in the future.”
“Truly, heaven envies the talented!”
“…”
Seeing this, Wu Qinghao was so excited he nearly danced with joy.
Qi Tian’s death meant his own chances of obtaining the Dragon Emperor inheritance had grown greater.
At the same time, Xiao Yichen was also thrilled.
“Well died, well died,” Xiao Yichen thought. “With Qi Tian dead, among the younger generation of the five-sect alliance, no one can rival me.”
“From today onward, I, Xiao Yichen, am the foremost genius of the five-sect alliance.”
“Qi Tian, Qi Tian, in a way I must thank you.”
“If you had not used the nine heavenly thunders to shatter the saint-level killing array, breaking it myself would have taken a little more time.”
With this thought, Xiao Yichen quickly straightened his robes, then announced loudly, “Brother Qi, safe journey!”
Wu Qinghao echoed, “Brother Qi, safe journey!”
Just then, a familiar voice rang out.
“Safe journey? So you truly wished for my death?”
Hearing this, Xiao Yichen and Wu Qinghao hurriedly looked up. They saw Qi Tian standing before the cave entrance, his golden crown binding his hair, his demeanour elegant and refined.
“Brother Qi, you, you are not dead?” Wu Qinghao’s eyes widened.
“Mere heavenly thunder, how could it possibly kill me.” Qi Tian’s gaze turned icy as he looked at Wu Qinghao and Xiao Yichen. “It seems you did not wish me to live.”
Xiao Yichen gave an awkward laugh and hurriedly said, “Brother Qi misunderstands. Just now I thought you had fallen and was grieving deeply. Now, seeing you alive, I could not be happier.”
Wu Qinghao added, “Exactly. Seeing Brother Qi still alive fills me with joy.”
“By the way, Brother Qi, those nine heavenly thunders were so powerful. How did you survive?”
“I clearly saw you shattered by the thunder…”
Xiao Yichen was also puzzled.
He could not understand why Qi Tian had not died.
“I already said, mere thunder could not kill me. Hmph!” Qi Tian snorted coldly, then turned and rushed into the cave.
He did not tell Xiao Yichen and Wu Qinghao that, in his earlier desperation, he had a flash of inspiration and used a secret technique of the Yin-Yang Sect to manifest a dao body.
The nine heavenly thunders had struck only that dao body. That was how Qi Tian survived.
However, losing a dao body left Qi Tian seemingly unharmed but actually injured.
He had merely suppressed the wounds for now.
Once Qi Tian left, Xiao Yichen’s eyes instantly turned bone-chillingly cold. He inwardly cursed, “Damn it, even nine heavenly thunders could not kill you. Your life is truly resilient!”
Whoosh.
Xiao Yichen transformed into an afterimage and charged into the cave.
Wu Qinghao’s expression also darkened. He thought, “Qi Tian, Qi Tian, why did you not just die? Then I would have one fewer powerful rival.”
“Still, a deadly battle is inevitable among you three supreme prodigies.”
“I will continue to watch tigers fight from the mountain. When you have fought enough, I will strike opportunistically.”
With this thought, Wu Qinghao swiftly entered the cave.
Wang Cong followed soon after.
Then, disciples from the various major forces rushed into the cave one after another.
Though they knew that with their cultivation they stood no chance of obtaining the Dragon Emperor inheritance, what if?
In this world, lucky individuals always existed.
Moreover, even if they could not claim the inheritance, merely seeing what the Dragon Emperor inheritance looked like would be worthwhile.
Before long.
Outside the Golden Mountain, only Li Jian and the disciples of the Taichu Holy Land remained.
