Chapter 471: Chapter 467: Heavenly Punishment
"I’m going to die?"
Lei Yuan’s face, which had held a cat-playing-with-a-mouse expression at Gu Jinlai’s words, froze slightly.
Then he burst into an unrestrained, arrogant laugh, "Ha ha ha, I’m going to die? This is simply the best joke I’ve heard all year, a Martial King with barely the battle power of a Peak Heavenly Being through the use of Divine Skills, daring to speak like this in front of a Martial Saint. Since you’ve successfully made me laugh, I’ve decided..."
Before he could finish his sentence, the Martial Saint had made his move.
Even when hunting a rabbit, the lion uses its full might.
Facing Gu Jinlai, this Martial Saint still covered it up with his wild laughter and suddenly attacked while speaking halfway.
He lashed out with his sword.
As he thrust, countless streaks of lightning and thunder wrapped around his War Sword, a standout even among Quasi-Dao Artifacts, creating a Thunder Sword that tore through the Sky Dome.
In the void, it was as if a giant silver dragon streaked across, moving at such speed that it surpassed Qi Yunxiao and including Qi Sheng, the Heavenly Being’s reaction limit.
"Be careful!"
Qi Sheng’s cry of alarm was not yet fully uttered when that roaring silver dragon, carrying the sword’s brilliance, had already stormed to within a hundred meters of Gu Jinlai, and then...
Time in the void a hundred meters in front of Gu Jinlai seemed to have stagnated.
The incredibly fast silver dragon slowed down bit by bit right in front of him, slowing, slowing, slowing...
Continuously slowing down.
Finally, when it was thirty meters away from him, it came to a complete stop.
Gu Jinlai glanced at the silver dragon and commented, "The speed is not bad, an excellent opening move for an ambush, but the power is lacking."
"How is this possible!?"
Lei Yuan watched the silver dragon frozen thirty meters in front of Gu Jinlai, his feigned laughter now truly petrified on the spot.
"The control of Heaven and Earth Power by Devas!? No! It’s Divine Skills, Domain Divine Power!"
He quickly recognized something.
But...
After recognizing it, he found it even more unbelievable.
How powerful must a Domain Divine Skill be to reach this extent!?
His all-out strike as a Martial Saint couldn’t even break through this Domain Divine Skill.
Could a Domain Divine Skill cultivated to the Perfect Level do this?
Unless it was...
A streak of lightning flashed through his mind.
"Top-grade Domain Divine Power at the Perfect Realm!"
Gu Jinlai, in addition to mastering a top-grade Divine Power known as the Thunder Sword, also possessed another top-grade Domain Divine Power?
At this time, Gu Jinlai stretched out his hand towards the silver Thunder Dragon, seemingly solidified in the void thirty meters away, opened his five fingers, and then forcefully clenched.
"Boom!"
Thunder roared!
The silver dragon, frozen in the void, exploded with a bang, scattering countless thunder lights, spreading wantonly in all directions.
But before the burst of lightning could spread hundreds or thousands of meters outward, an invisible force drew them back together from their shattered state, forming a new Thunder Dragon.
This time, the Thunder Dragon’s gaze was fixed on Martial Saint Lei Yuan, who was in pursuit.
"Not good!"
The moment he was locked on by the Thunder Dragon, Lei Yuan already felt a significant threat.
He was all too aware of the terrifying speed of his "Thunder Dragon Flash". It was a move that even he might not be able to block.
Instantly, he roared and his body burst out with thunder light, his figure rapidly expanding in this moment, directly transforming into a fourteen-meter tall colossal giant.
Countless streaks of lightning spread from his body, wrapping around him, making his entire being seem to turn into thunder itself, shooting toward the direction of Gu Jinlai with unbelievable speed.
And at the forefront of the thunder...
A sharp sword, condensed with massive amounts of Thunder Power, was unmistakably present.
Thunder Origin Divine Body!
Derivation Divine Abilities: Thunder Light Dragon Transformation Skill!
The silver dragon was roaring.
Despite Lei Yuan using the Derivation Divine Ability Thunder Light Dragon Transformation Skill, which allowed him to shoot out like a thunder dragon, he could not evade when faced with Gu Jinlai’s use of the Thunder Light Domain control...
And the amplified "Thunder Dragon Flash," for which Lei Yuan was unable to find cover.
Especially as Lei Yuan approached Gu Jinlai, having essentially entered the Thunder Light Domain, and with the aim-assist function of the Thunder Light Domain, the clash between the Thunder Dragon he had transformed into and the "Thunder Dragon Flash" launched by Gu Jinlai lacked any fanciness as they collided head-on.
"Boom!"
The sky seemed to ignite an unprecedented thunderstorm, illuminating the surrounding tens of miles completely.
For a moment, the sky at a height of a kilometer seemed to be torn apart by two gigantic bolts of lightning. A massive gap was created, followed by numerous shattered thunders manifesting as dense electrical discharges, spreading chaotically in all directions.
That feeling...
It was as if the sky dome was about to be completely ripped apart.
This scene and the destructive energy it contained deeply shook everyone present.
Not only Zhao Yushu, Qi Yunxiao, and Qi Sheng, but even the dozen or so Devas and Martial Kings who had accompanied Lei Yuan were horrified and their eyes widened.
They could clearly feel the terrifying extent of the energy contained within the thunderstorm and the electrical discharge phenomenon.
If they were engulfed, even with defensive Dao Artifacts, they would certainly have their bodies torn asunder, their flesh ripped apart, and be reduced to charred remains.
Thunder lights crisscrossed.
"Kill!"
Amidst the continuously releasing, sparkling thunder, a roar containing rage burst forth from Martial Saint Lei Yuan.
A fierce Martial Arts Will filled the void, infusing into the thunder.
With the amplification of this willpower, the Thunder Power bursting from his body seemed to possess emotion and life, becoming even more ferocious, and it tore apart the silver Thunder Dragon created by "Thunder Dragon Flash."
He moved with lightning as his gown, daringly weaving through endless thunder and lightning, lunging toward Gu Jinlai with a killing intent.
"The power of the Thunder Light Domain is a bit weaker than I imagined,"
Gu Jinlai concluded, "I had thought that relying on the plain attack of the Thunder Light Domain would almost be enough to kill a Martial Saint. I didn’t expect that I’d actually have to use a skill... It must be because it’s not yet Mahayana."
Soon after, another thought struck him, "Or perhaps Martial Saints are stronger than I anticipated."
After all, Martial Saints who have completed the Transformation and reshaping of the Thunder Origin Divine Body are akin to following the path of Heaven and Earth Demigods, which is clearly stronger than those who follow the path of bloodlines—Innate Demon Gods.
Nearly half the Martial Saints even possess battle power close to that of Saints, which is to say Second Rank, at the moment their bodies are reshaped.
The next instant, he grasped at the void, where positive and negative electrons collided violently, and thunder light flickered.
A Giant Sword, composed entirely of thunder, formed above his head, the Sword Blade aiming directly at Lei Yuan.
This was...
"Thunder Sword!"
A trace of fear flashed in Lei Yuan’s eyes.
Gu Jinlai’s renowned Killing Move, the top-grade Divine Power, Thunder Sword.
It was said that he had already achieved Perfection in cultivating this divine skill.
"Buzzing!"
At this moment, the power of the Thunder Light Domain surged out tumultuously, rippling like waves and continuously battering Lei Yuan’s form.
Under the assault of these ripples, his body, originally transformed into a Thunder Dragon, was like being trapped in water, with the clear water turning into a quagmire, and the quagmire then transforming into mercury...
During this process of transformation, his charging figure visibly slowed to the naked eye.
"How is this possible!?"
Lei Yuan’s eyes were filled with disbelief.
At this rate, his ultimate fate would probably be the same as the Thunder Dragon Flash he had sent out—halting directly in front of Gu Jinlai, unable to harm him in the slightest.
He, a mighty Martial Saint, couldn’t even break through this Domain Divine Power?!
This...
Was definitely not a top-grade Divine Power!
"Top Divine Power! This is a top Domain Divine Power!"
Lei Yuan roared, his figure that had been charging toward Gu Jinlai reversed with inconceivable speed.
Under the might of the Derivation Divine Abilities, Thunder Light Dragon Transformation Skill, he transformed into a true Thunder Dragon, seeking only to flee from the domain as quickly as possible and escape at full speed, the farther the better. 𝒏𝒐𝒗𝒑𝒖𝙗.𝒄𝒐𝒎
"Think you can get away?"
Gu Jinlai’s mind stirred.
The force of Primordial Magnetic Divine Light contained within the Thunder Light Domain activated, and in an instant, Lei Yuan’s form, frantically running as a Thunder Dragon, seemed to be trapped in a black hole.
A terrifying force constantly pulled at his body, tearing apart the electric light on him, causing waves of electric light to burst and break out.
This was...
Stripping his Divine Body that had transformed into a Thunder Dragon, inch by inch.
This feeling of being unable to advance or retreat, with life and death completely out of his control, incited a scream of terror from Lei Yuan, "Misunderstanding! Stop! District Master Gu, it’s a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding... I am the Deputy Army Commander of the Hai Feng City City Guard Army, you cannot kill me..."
What awaited him was a Thunder Sword, conjured into formation, so large in size to be somewhat unreasonable.
"Booming Thunder!"
Heavenly thunder broke the sky.
Engulfed in the Primordial Magnetic Divine Light, Lei Yuan’s fear soared to an unprecedented limit in this instant.
"No!"
The next moment, his form was completely devoured by this immense Thunder Sword.
The aura of his Martial Saint status completely vanished.
This chilling scene deeply impacted the nerves of everyone who witnessed it.
Qi Yunxiao, Qi Sheng, and Zhao Yushu felt an uncontrollable thrill rise within their hearts.
But those Devas and Martial Kings who had come together with Lei Yuan to encircle Gu Jinlai now felt a numbing of the scalp.
How long had it been?!
Their Deputy Army Commander of the Hai Feng City City Guard Army, a tycoon-level personage of the Martial Saint Realm, had faced off against Gu Jinlai for mere moments before being demolished in a fashion that resembled the crushing of dry weeds, this power...
Left them feeling as though the top of their heads was about to be lifted off in shock.
When they realized that Gu Jinlai, after annihilating Lei Yuan, turned his gaze towards them, more than a dozen of them shivered in unison, snapping out of their shock.
"Run! Run! Run for your life!"
"Such power... Such strength... Top Martial Saint!? No! Even a Top Martial Saint can’t achieve such a feat! He’s a Peak Martial Saint!"
The dozen or so screamed in terror, each racing back towards Hai Feng City as fast as they could.
Only by reaching Hai Feng City would they have a sliver of a chance at life.
Alas...
Despite four of them being only at the Light Red status, Gu Jinlai showed no intention of showing mercy toward them.
He stepped through the void, his figure soaring into the air. At the same time, the Chaotic Star Light Body operated at full speed, with the power of the Thunder Light Domain spreading wildly from him as the center. Above the Sky Dome, it was as though a Heavenly Network of thunder had formed.
"Booming Thunder!"
The Heavenly Light flared suddenly.
Below the Heavenly Network, countless thunders intertwined, instantly forming more than a dozen Thunder Swords.
Each Thunder Sword was like a divine punishment of thunder sent down from the heavens, with the brilliance that dissipates darkness and lights up the world, devouring the dozen or so Devas and Martial Kings who fled in terror.
