Xiao Chen didn't bother to explain. The Thunder Prison Shield remained stable. Holding the Dragon Spear, he slowly took a step forward.
With each step, Lei Yu moved, the black stone ground beneath his feet scorched by lightning, leaving charred marks, and the chilling aura around him was completely cleared away.
"Mo Shuo, is this all you've got?"
Xiao Chen's tone was calm, yet laced with deep sarcasm, "If that were all, you would probably be the one who falls today."
"Arrogant!" Mo Shuo was completely enraged. Black spiritual power surged wildly around him, and his Yin energy became extremely dense.
"Since you like thunder so much, then I'll let you taste what true Netherworld power is like!"
He formed hand seals and chanted incantations. Below the Dragon-Slaying Platform, it seemed as if countless wronged souls were wailing, and a terrifying aura several times stronger than before was rapidly gathering!
Mo Shuo was thoroughly enraged by Xiao Chen's mockery, but he did not lose his temper.
He clasped his hands together abruptly, and a curtain of water, as clear as the autumn sky and as thin as a cicada's wing, instantly unfolded before him.
Layers of spatial ripples rippled across the water curtain.
It was as if everything in front of me was isolated in another independent world.
"Azure Sky Cover!"
This is Mo Zezong's top defensive divine ability. It looks fragile, but it can actually distort space, absorb energy, and disperse attacks. Ordinary divine abilities simply cannot shake it.
Upon seeing this, the onlookers exclaimed in surprise, "It's the protective divine power of the Moze Sect!"
"This defense can even withstand an attack from a Tai Xu Realm expert for a short time!"
Xiao Chen's eyes narrowed, knowing that ordinary lightning techniques would be difficult to break through the spatial distortion defense.
He took a deep breath, simultaneously raising his spiritual power and the intent of the thunderous spear to their peak.
Lightning crackled in his eyes, and countless tiny lightning runes flickered and died within his pupils.
It was as if a miniature world of thunder was being conceived and then collapsing.
"Annihilation Thunder Eye!"
This time, he did not use the Dragon Spear, but instead used his gaze as a guide and his will as the spearhead!
Two thin, deep purple bolts of lightning suddenly shot out from his eyes, silent and invisible, as if they did not exist in the real world.
They pierced directly through the distorted spatial barrier of the Azure Sky Shield, ignoring its physical defenses.
It shot straight toward Mo Shuo's soul source behind him!
"What?!"
Mo Shuo's expression changed drastically in an instant, as a sense of unease and impending death descended from the depths of his soul!
He could clearly feel that the two bolts of lightning did not attack his physical body, but locked onto his soul, leaving him with no way to avoid or block them!
"Not good!" Mo Yan's pupils shrank suddenly from below the stage. He had not expected that Xiao Chen would possess such a bizarre soul attack technique.
In the critical moment, Mo Shuo held back no longer, biting his tongue and spitting out a mouthful of blood essence containing his own origin, which turned into a cloud of blood mist in the air.
He rapidly formed ancient and obscure hand seals with his hands, and shouted, "Yellow Springs Grotto - Open!"
Blood mist instantly condensed, with essence blood as its core, and a pitch-black portal, even more solid and terrifying than the previous Gate of the Nine Netherworlds, slowly opened above his head.
Countless vengeful spirits lingered above the portal, their mournful wails piercing through the space, causing all the cultivators present to tremble in their souls.
Within the gate, there was no longer the turbid, murky waters of the Yellow Springs, but a bottomless abyss of darkness.
As if connected to the true Netherworld, a terrifying suction force that devoured everything erupted wildly.
It not only devours matter and energy, but also directly affects the soul and vitality!
Xiao Chen felt a sudden heaviness in his soul, as if an invisible giant hand was frantically tearing at it.
His life force was rapidly draining away, and even the Thunder Prison Shield around him began to fluctuate violently, with the lightning dimming slightly.
Even more terrifying is that the suction force of this Yellow Springs Cave is too strong, causing the barrier of the Dragon Slaying Platform to begin to vibrate violently and emit a hum that is unable to bear the burden.
The sea of clouds in the sky was churned into a giant vortex, and countless streams of spiritual energy were frantically sucked into the portal.
The spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the entire Xianke Mountain became disordered.
"This is... the Yellow Springs Grotto-Heaven? One of the Mo Ze Sect's most treasured divine abilities!"
"Using one's own life essence as a catalyst to summon the power of the Yellow Springs' origin—is this a suicidal act?"
"Xiao Chen is in danger! His soul and life force have been devoured; even with a strong physical body, he can't hold on!"
...
The onlookers were filled with shock. This level of supernatural power was beyond the scope of what a Nirvana Realm cultivator should have. Mo Shuo was willing to use such a trump card that consumed his source energy in order to kill Xiao Chen!
Old Huang sat bolt upright, oblivious to the wine jug falling to the ground, his entire body tensing instantly.
He was ready to act at any time. As soon as Xiao Chen showed the slightest sign of weakness, he would immediately break through the contract's restrictions!
Wen Yizheng's expression was also solemn, his fists clenched, and he thought to himself, "Xiao Chen, you must hold on!"
Xiao Chen stood in the Thunder Prison, his soul experiencing waves of tearing pain. The loss of his life force made his face slightly pale, but his eyes remained sharp as a blade.
He could sense that the terror of this Yellow Springs Cave Heaven lay in its direct attack on the soul and its all-pervasive devouring power.
"You want to devour my soul? Not so easy!"
A resolute glint flashed in Xiao Chen's eyes. He abruptly contracted the Thunder Prison Shield, merging it entirely into his body. At the same time, he formed hand seals, and lightning surged around him.
Now that the opponent has used his original divine power, he no longer needs to hold back!
Facing that terrifying grotto-heaven that connected to the Nine Netherworlds and devoured divine souls, Xiao Chen's eyes grew even more resolute.
The last bit of spiritual power and divine soul power in his body was poured into the Dragon Spear.
His body crackled with lightning, his figure merging with the gun, transforming into a blinding white streak that shot into the sky!
"Ultimate Technique - Divine Firmament Thunder Dragon Slaying Evil!"
A thunderous roar, like the descent of a thunder god, echoed throughout Xianke Mountain!
"roar--!"
The Dragon Spear emitted a dragon's roar that resounded through the heavens, and its body shone with boundless light, actually attracting real natural thunder from the heavens!
In an instant, dark clouds gathered, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and countless bolts of purple-gold lightning, as thick as buckets, struck down from the clouds.
All of it converged into the tip of the spear, condensing into a chaotic thunder dragon with distinct scales, eyes brimming with heavenly might, and a body a hundred feet long!
This thunder dragon was no longer an illusory energy phantom, but a nearly solid body of thunder.
The scales shimmered with lightning that could destroy everything, and the dragon whiskers fluttered, carrying the supreme will to punish evil and vanquish demons.
It roared with its head raised, its voice shaking the surrounding area, and charged fiercely toward the dark Yellow Springs Cave with a world-destroying power!
"My God! This is... summoning the natural thunder of heaven and earth?"
"A Nirvana Realm cultivator can actually unleash such terrifying divine power! This has already exceeded the limits of the realm!"
"Just what kind of monster is Xiao Chen?!"
The onlookers were in an uproar, their faces filled with horror as they stared at the chaotic thunder dragon soaring into the sky, their breathing becoming rapid.
Even cultivators at the Tai Xu Realm might not be able to achieve this level of attack!
