"boom!"
As the dark, bluish bead exploded, it was like a thunderclap, the booming sound reverberating in our ears, seemingly deafening, and shaking our very souls.
In an instant, an overwhelming power swept out, terrifying beyond measure.
Even the Purple Mansion stage cultivators standing to the side showed fear in their eyes at the first moment, and quickly retreated, hurriedly casting defensive spells.
As an inexplicable and terrifying power spread out, a burst of blue light shot up.
It emitted a continuous crackling sound, and upon closer inspection, it turned out to be tiny streaks of electricity spreading rapidly, instantly covering the entire arena.
At the center, there were even several bolts of lightning as thick as an arm and several meters long, exuding an aura of destruction, seemingly unstoppable, crashing towards Lin Xiuyuan.
This scene not only made the nearby Purple Mansion stage stewards change color, but even those within the attack range were forced to use protective techniques.
This caused the expressions of the elders from the sect on the high platform to change.
If it weren't for the sect's protective formations on the arena, they would probably have already unleashed their spells to shield the Foundation Establishment disciples from this terrifying power!
In an instant, everyone in the training ground changed their expressions, finding it utterly unbelievable, even absurd and inconceivable.
Countless disciples felt this terrifying power and saw that the arena was instantly filled with countless bolts of lightning, with thick thunderbolts flashing and an aura of destruction spreading, seemingly unstoppable.
All the disciples felt an indescribable fear.
Even the disciples who were fighting around them stopped and all eyes turned to them.
"It's actually the Heavenly Thunder Pearl? Is this Senior Sister Xu's trump card?!"
"It seems that Senior Sister Xu is willing to do anything to kill Lin Xiuyuan, even going so far as to activate this item!!"
"I reckon that guy surnamed Lin is probably going to die..."
"This is a Heavenly Thunder Pearl! Even cultivators at the Purple Mansion stage wouldn't dare to confront it head-on. Even if Senior Sister Xu's Heavenly Thunder Pearl is a bit weak, it's still more than enough to kill an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator!"
"Senior Sister Xu really hates this person to the bone. She used this item directly during the competition. It will be difficult to get away with it afterward. Even if she only killed a new disciple, she will still be punished. Although she has the Xu family backing her up, she can't escape confinement. She will suffer punishment for at least several decades. Even if she survives, it will probably greatly delay her cultivation path."
"Those deacons have stopped. Does that mean there's no hope left?"
"Heh heh, Lin Xiuyuan is probably doomed. This is a Heavenly Thunder Pearl!"
Immediately, gasps of shock rose and fell, and people marveled at the sight.
Especially when they saw the deacons rushing out above suddenly stop, seemingly not intending to continue the rescue.
Clearly, Foundation Establishment cultivators would have little chance of survival under the Heavenly Thunder Pearl, unless they were exceptionally talented geniuses.
It's just that the quality of this Heavenly Thunder Pearl isn't very good; otherwise, a Foundation Establishment cultivator wouldn't have been able to survive.
If Xu Hua's Heavenly Thunder Pearl had been of even higher quality, the Purple Mansion stage expert on the arena would likely have been seriously injured.
Even so, this Heavenly Thunder Pearl, though not of the best quality, still possessed formidable power. The deacon had to cast a protective spell to safely evade it, demonstrating its immense power.
Moreover, although Lin Xiuyuan was considered somewhat monstrous by many, he was still some distance from those truly exceptional geniuses, especially since his cultivation had only just broken through to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage. Naturally, in everyone's eyes, Lin Xiuyuan had no chance of surviving.
Even the deacons on the high platform who rushed out to try to save him had stopped in their tracks, probably because Lin Xiuyuan had been instantly killed.
"This girl from the Xu family is really bold!"
The Purple Mansion stage elder sitting in the back row, who had been keeping a close eye on Lin Xiuyuan, immediately sprang into action upon seeing this scene.
But the next step he was about to take was abruptly halted.
As for the elders in charge, their divine senses were not yet on his side, and they did not react in time. They rushed out of the high platform to prepare to save people, but then they realized what was happening and did not take any further action for a moment.
The gloomy expression on the face of this Purple Mansion stage elder faded after sensing the surroundings, replaced by a look of surprise. He muttered to himself:
"Although this Heavenly Thunder Pearl is of poor quality, it's not something a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator could easily withstand, is it?"
"This little fellow is quite something. My old friend, it seems your lineage has a worthy successor!"
He sat down again, his gaze fixed on the object, his surprise only increasing, and even a hint of contemplation appearing on his face.
At this moment, even the powerful purple-talisman experts on the high platform couldn't help but show a hint of surprise.
"This little guy's talismans are quite something, no less than the secret talismans of my Lingxiao lineage. Moreover, is this a divine technique? He actually managed to cultivate a divine technique; that's really interesting."
"No wonder it survived the Heavenly Thunder Pearl. However, this Heavenly Thunder Pearl was a defective product. Otherwise, it would not have been so easy for it to survive, and it might not have even been possible to save it in time."
...
…………
The arena was crackling with electricity, and the crackling sounds were incessant.
The sky was filled with blue light, continuously radiating astonishing spiritual energy fluctuations and a terrifying aura that seemed intent on annihilating everything.
Aside from the elders of the sect on the high platform, almost everyone thought that Lin Xiuyuan was doomed.
