"Unexpectedly, these three major characters are here as well."
"The Black Dragon Group moves unhindered in the Boundless Sea. Even the Four Shallow Seas Alliance is not a match for them. Although the Sacred Heavenly Church is a faction that rose in the past few years, their Church Master is a famous person as well."
"The Black Flag Army is a mysterious faction that the Heavenly Saber Pavilion, at its peak, worked with the various sects to surround and suppress. Even so, they returned in defeat in the end."
Without exception, these three people stood at the peak of the Sky Dome Realm. Their cultivations were unfathomable, far beyond what regular Martial Sages could compare to.
However, all this was just the beginning. Following that, another five people arrived. Unexpectedly, the group of old men on the sea did not recognize any of them.
Only the true peak factions would know that these five people were the guardians of the various Royal Clans. They spent many years in closed-door cultivation and had undergone experiential training in the Kunlun Realm when they were young.
When Xiao Chen saw the eight people arrive with his Spiritual Sense, he frowned slightly. He had really underestimated the Kunlun Realm. He could not defeat any one of these eight people easily.
However, he could not be bothered with them at this moment. There was no need to worry about them coming to cause trouble. Without comprehending the will of thunder, they would just be seeking death.
As Xiao Chen hovered two kilometers in the air, the lightning he faced was no longer as easy as before.
Most of the energy in his Heavenly Sage Laws had been drained. Now that he was one kilometer away from the golden lightning bolt, Xiao Chen no longer dared to fully open his protective Quintessence.
Every time a bolt of lightning descended, a fiery light flickered. It burned his physical body like a knife scraping at his heart and bones, inflicting unbearable pain.
Xiao Chen's peak Rank 2 Sage Body showed signs of breaking after being struck by more than a hundred lightning bolts in a row.
The electric light penetrated his body and moved around. This was a form of torture and a baptism for Xiao Chen's physical body. If Xiao Chen could endure this baptism, his physical body would definitely benefit greatly.
The guardians of the five nations and the three from the Sacred Heavenly Church formed two distinct groups. They gathered together and commented on Xiao Chen's actions.
"It looks like this junior can really subdue this will of thunder."
"That might not be the case. His physical body is about to reach its limit. If he continues to endure such an attack, that final bolt of lightning will be enough to shatter him into pieces."
"Strange, why are the remnants of the Tianwu Dynasty gathered together? Could it be that they want to make a move at the crucial moment?"
"These people have been in the limelight for the past few years. Rumor has it that they're working with the Nether Sect."
"Hmph, so what? They're just a bunch of shady forces. Do they really think they can overturn the heavens? With the forces behind us, it's a piece of cake to take care of them."
The five guardians of the various nations discussed softly. They did not think too much about Xiao Chen subduing this Divine Lightning. They had only come to take a look out of curiosity.
After all, this will of lightning had been passed down from generation to generation. There had never been a lack of people who wanted to obtain it. However, all of them returned in failure in the end.
The reason for this was none other than the fact that no one dared to touch the last bolt of lightning that contained the origin of will.
Lightning was the purest form of energy in the natural world. Aside from berserk, there was only berserk. There was no need for it to change anything. It directly used a horrifying explosive force to test one's endurance.
Life and death were decided in that instant. If one could endure it, it would be over. If one could not, they would die, falling from the sky.
After a thousand torments, Xiao Chen did not know how many times the lightning struck him. Finally, he was only five hundred meters away from the golden bolt of lightning.
The berserk lightning and boundless roars suddenly stopped. Only the howling of the wind remained; it was so quiet that it was scary.
Clearly, this was not the end of the suffering. Instead, it was the final calm before the storm.
Xiao Chen's heart sank. At this moment, that golden bolt of lightning was hidden in the clouds. Thunderclouds churned, but there was no sound of thunder.
An extremely stifling feeling welled up in Xiao Chen's heart, making him feel very uncomfortable.
"Xiao Chen, this is the final bolt of lightning. It is coming for real. It contains an immortal will. If you can endure it, only death awaits you. You still have time to retreat now."
Ao Jiao understood this immortal lightning much better than Xiao Chen.
Along the way, Xiao Chen had not used any Secret Treasures or Martial Techniques. He had relied entirely on his physical body. How could Xiao Chen give up? As he looked at the dark thunderclouds, his blood surged. He said, "Bring it on!"
If Xiao Chen could not even endure this bit of lightning, then he would definitely not be able to clear the Lightning Tribulation of the seventh floor. What was the difference between dying earlier or later?
"Boom!"
Thunderclouds churned in the dark sky. After a while of silence, a spot of golden light suddenly pierced through the boundless darkness, giving off a dazzling light.
Upon a closer look, it was a longsword formed by golden lightning. The tip of the sword pierced through the dark clouds, and the roar of thunder immediately resounded through the sky. Bolts of lightning streaked across the sky at the same time, illuminating the Thunder Emperor Valley.
It's here! The most ferocious and horrifying strike of this immortal will of thunder is finally here.
The experts of the five nations, the three powerhouses of the Tianwu Dynasty's remnant races, and the group of old men watching the excitement on the surface of the sea all cast their gazes over.
For thousands of years, it was unknown how many people had died to this lightning. It was unknown how many arrogant experts had become deserters in front of this lightning, retreating without a fight.
Everyone knew that this bolt of lightning was a treasure. However, it had existed for so many years, and no one had been able to take it away.
Everyone was filled with anticipation as to whether Xiao Chen would be able to break this rule or not.
"Taiji Yinyang Flame Diagram!"
The moment the electric light appeared, Xiao Chen stretched out his hand, and the Taiji Yinyang Flame Diagram instantly appeared.
The Taiji Yinyang Flame Diagram soared up, trying to suppress the might of this bolt of lightning. If Xiao Chen could subdue it in an instant, that would be perfect.
When the golden lightning sword touched the center of the Taiji Yinyang Flame Diagram, Xiao Chen's body trembled. His sea of consciousness surged, and he felt dizzy, nearly falling over.
With just one touch, the lightning-attributed energy in the sword flowed through the mental connection between Xiao Chen and the Taiji Yinyang Flame Diagram, invading his sea of consciousness.
A cool Qi came from the Neptune Headscarf on Xiao Chen's forehead, waking him up. A bright light flashed in his eyes.
Xiao Chen drove the purple talisman in his sea of consciousness, spinning it continuously, slowly absorbing all the lightning-attributed energy that invaded his sea of consciousness.
In such a stalemate, Xiao Chen discovered that although he was in a passive position, the purple Lightning Talisman was clearly growing stronger after absorbing the lightning-attributed energy. "Ka ca!
Ka ca! "
Cracks spread out on the Taiji Yinyang Flame Diagram, looking like it would shatter at any moment. Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes and decisively withdrew his hand. In the time it took for a spark to fly, he activated the Sage Grade pagoda in his body.
The image of a pagoda materialized and encased Xiao Chen.
"Pu ci!" In just an instant, the golden lightning sword chopped the image of this Sage Grade Secret Treasure in half. The pagoda in Xiao Chen's body also shattered at the same time, turning into beams of scarlet light that shot out of Xiao Chen's body.
Xiao Chen vomited a mouthful of blood. However, his somewhat miserable face remained as calm as still water. As he watched the descending lightning sword, he did not admit defeat.
Instead of advancing, Xiao Chen retreated. Electric light burst out from under his feet as he executed the Myriad Heaven Divine Fist. With tenfold combat prowess, the light from his right hand was no weaker than the lightning sword.
As everyone exclaimed, Xiao Chen directly punched the golden lightning sword. Instantly, tens of thousands of lightning bolts descended in the surroundings, shattering space.
The entire sky shook intensely. The sea churned endlessly, and the surging waves turned into pillars of water soaring into the sky.
Xiao Chen vomited a mouthful of blood as he retreated a hundred meters. His clothes were in tatters, and his skin was riddled with wounds.
However, Xiao Chen's face was filled with fanaticism. The golden lightning sword's light had dimmed significantly in the face of Xiao Chen's punch.
"I don't believe that I cannot subdue you!"
Xiao Chen shouted and charged forward again. In the blink of an eye, he threw more than a hundred punches at the descending golden lightning sword, which pressed down so hard that even the sky seemed to be sinking.
Lightning crackled around his body. His five viscera and six bowels, his bones, and his blood vessels were all being baptized by lightning. From the inside to the outside, he felt an indescribable pain.
The nearly two-meter-long golden lightning sword was reduced to the size of a palm by Xiao Chen. Not a single part of Xiao Chen's skin remained intact, and his internal injuries were frighteningly severe.
However, it was all worth it. Xiao Chen tore off Neptune's headscarf, and the Mental Energy in his sea of consciousness surged out. A suction force sucked in the palm-sized golden lightning sword, turning it into a beam of light that entered Xiao Chen's sea of consciousness.
The three powerhouses of the Heavenly Dynasty's remnant races exchanged glances and said, "Attack!"
The three worked together and each executed a killing move, charging at Xiao Chen, who had just subdued the lightning sword.
At this moment, Xiao Chen's body was like a city waiting to be rebuilt. He had just experienced a bitter battle. As long as he recovered, he would be like a phoenix rising from the ashes. His strength would definitely soar.
However, this recovery required time. No matter how strong Xiao Chen's physical body was, after suffering such severe injuries, there was not a single part of his body that was unscathed. His internal organs were even more severely damaged.
Now was the best time to make a move on Xiao Chen. Furthermore, these three people all had impressive backgrounds. They were all peak characters in this Sky Dome Realm.
As the three moved as fast as lightning, they chained their killing moves together. Their auras were overwhelming, nearly covering half the sky.
The guards of the five nations had not expected these three to be so decisive. Aside from the Great Qin Nation's guard, who immediately flew forward to block them, the other four old men muttered to themselves.
The other four elders pondered for a moment, but they weren't in a rush to make a move.
"Bang!"
Although the Great Qin Nation's guard used his full power against these three powerhouses of the Tianwu Dynasty's remnant races, he was no match for them in the end.
The three barely managed to block for a while before they were blasted back by the momentum of the charge. Cracks appeared in space wherever they passed.
Just the force of the impact was already so mighty. This showed how strong the three's combined strength was.
"Kill!"
After knocking back the Great Qin Nation's guard, the three's auras flourished. They shouted and charged over with an even more ferocious momentum. From their stance, it was clear that they wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to kill Xiao Chen in one move.
In the time it took for a spark to fly, Xiao Chen suddenly opened his eyes. Before the other party's killing moves arrived, a strong wind formed by the surging shockwaves sliced over like a sharp knife.
