Chapter 72: Terrifying Chaotic Azure Lotus

At the Pope's sleeping palace!

The once magnificent Pope's sleeping palace is now a ruin.

Countless rubble scattered across the ground, smoke and dust rose, obscuring everyone's vision.

And in the center of the ruins, a pit twenty meters in diameter appeared.

At the center of the pit, a creature that could be called humanoid lay prone in the middle, motionless.

"Cough... cough..."

Suddenly, Qianxunji coughed violently twice, weakly lying on the ground.

His whole body was bloody and mangled, scorched black, with not a single intact spot.

Even both eyeballs were blasted into fragments by the just‑occurred world‑destroying thunderbolt, leaving the hollow eye sockets empty.

"Ho... ho..."

Qianxunji made a ho‑ho sound from his mouth, because his throat had been blasted into mangled flesh by the thunderbolt, and he could only make that ho‑ho sound.

Had it been an ordinary person, such injuries would have already killed him.

Even a level‑100 god would surely die under that just‑seen world‑destroying thunderbolt.

But Qianxunji possesses a powerful Steel Body.

The Steel Body not only makes his flesh extraordinarily strong and indestructible, his body is even stronger than a god's, and it also possesses Self‑healing Power.

It is precisely the Self‑healing Power that grants him tremendous vitality, allowing him to stay alive at this moment.

As long as his brain and soul are not destroyed, no matter how his flesh is ravaged, he cannot die.

And this injury, relying on the Steel Body's Self‑healing Power, will soon recover.

However, Qianxunji is deeply worried in his heart.

Because he has sensed that in the high skies, a more terrifying world‑destroying thunderbolt is gathering.

To be frank, Qianxunji has no confidence that he can withstand the upcoming world‑destroying thunderbolt.

After all, the second world‑destroying thunderbolt already blasted him near death; even a level‑100 god could not resist the first one, so how could he block the third, even more terrifying world‑destroying thunderbolt?

"Fuck, really trying to kill me!"

Qianxunji cursed inwardly; as the Pope of the Spirit Hall, he also knew that heavenly tribulations had once occurred on the Douluo Continent.

But the strongest of those tribulations pale in comparison to the first world‑destroying thunderbolt he just faced.

Moreover, he not only faced the first world‑destroying thunderbolt, the most powerful in history.

Furthermore, he just endured the second, even more terrifying world‑destroying thunderbolt.

And now, he is about to face a third, heaven‑and‑earth‑destroying world‑destroying thunderbolt.

At this moment, Qianxunji knows that this heaven and earth intends to utterly exterminate him, leaving no chance of survival.

Otherwise, who could possibly block such a terrifying world‑destroying thunderbolt?

Thus, Qianxunji is even more convinced that his awakened second Chaotic Azure Lotus Martial Soul is so heaven‑defying that even the heaven and earth envy it, seeking to obliterate him completely.

Qianxunji also felt anger rising in his heart, and he shouted angrily:

"Come on, today either you kill me, or I'll fuck you to death!"

Qianxunji braced himself with both hands, enduring the pain throughout his body, and staggered to his feet, then bellowed:

"Steel Body!"

In the next instant, demonic energy surged wildly from within his body, forming streaks of demonic qi around him, causing the surrounding boulders to float one by one.

At the same time, Qianxunji's flesh on his body quickly sprouted and grew, and the scorched, charred flesh on the outside peeled off directly.

As his flesh rapidly regenerated across his body, it also brought Qianxunji immense pain.

His eyeballs regenerated flesh, squeezing out the scorched, charred tissue; flesh grew all over his body, expelling countless bits of blackened dead tissue.

"Roar!"

Because the pain was too great, Qianxunji let out an angry roar.

"Boom... boom... boom..."

Within a radius of five hundred meters, the floating boulders were all shattered by Qianxunji's roar, turning into fine powder that was dragged aloft by an invisible aura.

"Ha!"

Qianxunji shouted angrily, dark demonic qi swirling around his body; he stepped with his right foot and instantly shot upward into the sky.

Meanwhile, where he stood, as he collapsed downward, a shockwave surged outward in all directions.

Everything within a one‑kilometer radius was completely shattered by that shockwave.

Five kilometers away, Qian Daoliu stood steadily with Bibidong's support.

A pair of deep eyes gazed into the distance; a figure took a step, pulverizing everything in place, and his body shot upward toward the terrifying world‑destroying thunderbolt above.

Qian Daoliu's lips twitched, and he spoke in a low voice:

"Dong'er, has your master become this strong now?"

Bibidong shook her head and said:

"I don't know either whether my master has become this strong; he has never shown his true power before me."

"If it weren't for today's world‑destroying thunderbolt, we wouldn't know our master's strength; he has already at least reached the level of Ultimate Douluo!"

"Yes!" Qian Daoliu gave a slight nod and spoke in a low voice:

"His physical strength is simply too great; under such an attack, even a level‑100 god would surely be blown to ashes by the world‑destroying thunderbolt."

"And Xiao'er, relying on that mighty bodily strength, though his flesh is all mangled, he has retained his life. Moreover, at this moment all his injuries are completely healed by that terrifying Self‑healing Power."

"Furthermore, I've noticed that Xiao'er hasn't been frightened into palpitations by the terrifying power of the world‑destroying thunderbolt; instead, it has made him even angrier and his resolve firmer."

Having said this, Qian Daoliu gazed at the last thunderbolt radiating vast world‑destroying divine might, and spoke with concern:

"This third world‑destroying thunderbolt contains the destructive power of heaven and earth; I fear that this time Xiao'er will surely die."

Bibidong heard the words, forcibly suppressed a hint of a smile, and firmly said:

"Grand Elder, although the master's chance of survival is almost nil, we must have faith in the master, believing he can accomplish this impossible feat."

"Believe he can be reborn anew beneath the apocalyptic thunder that erupts as the heavens and earth envy."

Qian Daoliu heard the words, also worriedly gazed at the tall figure soaring straight into the sky, and said:

"Hmm, my son Qianxunji will surely triumph over heaven!"

"Boom—boom—boom……"

Above the high sky, countless dark clouds tumbled, and faint thunder rumbled within.

At the center, a massive cluster of lightning glittered with electric sparks, gathering for an apocalyptic strike.

Qianxunji's muscles bulged all over his body, his expression icy and ruthless, his eyes filled with fighting spirit.

A pair of sharp eyes locked onto the thunder in the high sky, battle intent erupting, his body not retreating but advancing, surging forward!

Qianxunji fears neither heaven nor earth; even if this heaven seeks to destroy him, he will destroy this heaven and earth.

"Boom!"

Finally, the most terrifying apocalyptic thunder was born; the light at its center blazed forth, and a bolt of apocalyptic thunder the size of a house instantly erupted!

Carrying the apocalyptic divine might that destroys all things, it mercilessly slammed toward Qianxunji below.

Seeing such terrifying apocalyptic thunder hurtling toward him, Qianxunji's eyes held no fear, only endless fury, killing intent, darkness, depravity……

"Kill!"

Qianxunji exploded with a shout, directly connecting with his second martial soul,

Chaotic Azure Lotus!
