With that, the gazes of the Lightning Brothers suddenly became extremely sharp. It was as if a bolt of lightning had flashed in their eyes. As they circulated their cultivation methods, they began to shine with endless blue light.
"Method of the Four Symbols Thunder, Sky-striking Lightning!" The Lightning Brothers bellowed out at the same time. They unleashed their cultivation as late Overgods without holding back at all. Their presences skyrocketed, reaching the peak in just a single instance.
At the same time, the vital energies of the four brothers seemed to fuse together. Their powers seemed to have truly fused together, causing their current strength to surpass the limits of Gods and touch upon the realm of Overgods.
The difference between Gods and Overgods was as great as a chasm. Apart from a small number of supreme prodigies who could surpass it, it was an insurmountable gap for everyone else. It would not be an exaggeration to describe the tremendous difference in strength as the difference between heaven and earth.
However, the Lightning Brothers were able to fuse their strength together perfectly through a secret technique, erupting with the strength of Overgods as Gods. This was more than enough to demonstrate their strength.
Boom!
With a deafening rumble, the Lightning Brothers fused together and shot towards Jianchen as a huge bolt of lightning. Because the lightning they had transformed into was simply too fast, they had already entered the domain of Lords. However, the four brothers just happened to not have grasped the comprehension of Lords, so they were unable to completely become one with the world. As a result, as the lightning moved quickly, it violently collided with the air, producing loud sonic booms.
"You've basically become an Overgod. The four of you really are extraordinary. If you were up against a regular early Overgod, you really might be able to put up a fight, but it's a pity that you've encountered me," Jian Chen said. His body that was not particularly burly stood there like a mountain. With a wave of his hand, a strand of Chaotic Sword Qi condensed, shooting towards the incoming bolt of lightning with a destructive presence.
Jianchen did not even need to use the Laws of the Sword against the Lightning Brothers.
Just Chaotic Force was enough.
This was because his Laws of the Sword had already reached late Overgod, while his Chaotic Force was only equivalent to a God.
With a boom, the Lightning Brothers were dispersed by the chaotic sword Qi, and the four of them fell out of the lightning. They were all pale as they staggered back. Their gazes at Jianchen were filled with disbelief.
"You … you're a Lord?" The four brothers exclaimed at the same time. They were extremely shocked. Only an Overgod, and an expert among Overgods at that, could repel the combined attack of the four brothers so effortlessly.
There were only around a dozen Overgods in the entire divine kingdom. Every single one of them was a great figure who reigned over an entire region. They were renowned and very rarely seen. The four brothers had never thought that they would be so lucky as to come across an Overgod so casually.
"Even though we haven't seen all the Overgods in the surrounding divine kingdoms, we've heard about them. However, none of them are similar to you, sir. Are you an Overgod from even further away?" One of the four brothers asked. He was surprised and doubtful.
Jianchen did not argue with the four brothers about their identities. He stared at them calmly and asked, "Do you still have the confidence to take the Soul-drawing Lotus from me now?"
The four brothers looked at each other when they heard that. Their gazes were filled with bitterness as well as some sorrow.
Suddenly, the four brothers seemed to understand one another. They bowed deeply towards Jianchen at the same time and said, "Senior, the Soul-drawing Lotus is just too important to us. We need it to save the grand elder's life. If we can't obtain it, the grand elder probably won't be able to live for another century. I hope senior can give it to us. If we can save the Great Elder, we four brothers will definitely repay Senior's kindness. "
"Why are the four of you the ones repaying the kindness and not your Lei family?" Jianchen asked.
The four brothers hesitated. After a while, one of them said, "Senior, you might not know this, but our grand elder's soul has been heavily injured. Even if he recovers, it'll be difficult for him to become an Overgod. As a result, his status in the clan is nowhere near what it used to be, and the ancestor doesn't place much importance on him. Otherwise, we wouldn't have missed out on the Soul-drawing Lotus. Our Lei family doesn't lack divine crystals."
"But don't worry, senior. Although our current strength is nothing compared to senior, I believe we'll be able to repay senior's kindness once we break through to Overgod in the future," Jian Chen said with a smile.
The four brothers looked at Jianchen eagerly. They had already said everything they needed to say. They all hoped that their words could move this Overgod so that he would give the Soul-drawing Lotus to them.
A gleam of light flashed through Jianchen's eyes. After a moment of thought, he sighed gently, "If I didn't need the Soul-drawing Lotus, I wouldn't mind giving it to you. It's just a pity that I need it to save a friend, so I can't give it to you."
"Senior …" The four brothers panicked. Just when they wanted to say something, Jianchen raised his hand to stop them.
Jianchen continued, "But you don't have to worry too much. Doesn't your grand elder still have a hundred years to live? During that time, I'll pay a visit to your Lei family and see if there's any other way to save your grand elder."
The four brothers hesitated. Naturally, they did not doubt Jianchen's words. Even if the Lei family was a dangerous place, the Lei family would still welcome a friendly visit from an Overgod. They would be more than happy to befriend him. However, they doubted whether Jianchen really had any other way to save the grand elder.
After all, wounds to the soul could not be healed so easily.
"Thank you, senior. The four of us will await senior's arrival in the Lei family." The four brothers clasped their hands after a single moment of hesitation. They knew that it was impossible for them to obtain the Soul-drawing Lotus, so they could only agree to it for now and keep a sliver of hope.
Jianchen nodded. Without wasting any more time, he pursued the people from the Blood Blade sect as quickly as he could.
At this moment, Xi Yu and Mo Yan walked through the streets aimlessly with their faces covered by veils in the royal capital of the Divine Kingdom of Pingtian. They seemed to be in low spirits.
"Sister Xi Yu, where do you think patriarch Jianchen has gone? Hmph, what's wrong with patriarch Jianchen? To think that we went to find him so excitedly with the Pyrogold, wanting to give it to him as soon as possible. Yet, he just left the auction silently," Mo Yan puffed up her cheeks and said unhappily. Clearly, she was still angry.
"If I've guessed correctly, the patriarch has gone to chase after the people from the Blood Blade sect. Mo Yan, let's wait for the patriarch in the royal capital. I believe he'll return very soon with his abilities," Xi Yu said to Mo Yan. For some reason, she felt slightly disappointed when she saw Jianchen vanish from the auction silently.
At this moment, a gleam of light flashed through Xi Yu's eyes. She stared ahead sharply.
A few figures flickered at the end of the street, rapidly approaching Xi Yu and Mo Yan. They moved very quickly, as if they were flying close to the ground. As a result, many people were unable to see them clearly. They had already passed through the crowd.
"Oh no!" Xi Yu cursed inwardly. She did not have the time to do anything else at all. The figures that flew over had already surrounded her and Mo Yan.
There were a total of six people, and all of them were very powerful. They were all Gods. Two of them in particular made Xi Yu's face become extremely stern because they were both late Gods.
"Hehe, you must be elder Xi Yu of the Tianyuan family. I am the patriarch of the Yang family, Yang Aoran. Greetings, elder Xi Yu," one of the middle-aged men clasped his fist towards Xi Yu with a smile. He spoke rather politely.
"Patriarch Yang, may I ask why you're doing this?" Xi Yu asked sternly. She glanced at the six Gods who had surrounded her and Mo Yan, and she sensed that the situation was bad.
