Chapter 316

Countless bolts of lightning directly surged toward the three of them.

Paimon quickly hid behind Su Han.

"So terrifying... This guy is getting more and more violent!!!"

"It's fine, just some ordinary lightning 517..."

Su Han's eyes turned cold.

Those terrifying lightning bolts were instantly severed by invisible sword qi!

Meanwhile, Yingmei seized the moment, transforming into a beam of light and darting straight toward Rai-on Gongen.

Boom.

Massive gusts erupted in the sky.

Yingmei held her long sword.

It clashed fiercely with Rai-on Gongen's shield.

Paimon whispered on Su Han's shoulder: "That shield was what made Yingmei so frustrated before; the lightning element here is abnormal— even someone as powerful as Liuying couldn't easily break through it."

Liuying's power could wound the inside.

But Rai-on Gongen was a pure elemental body.

It had no internal organs.

No weaknesses either.

That made it extremely hard to kill.

Su Han nodded: "This guy truly has some skill... You two must have felt real pressure last time!"

The Rai Niao moved at incredible speed.

It could also teleport.

And it could create lightning barriers.

Yingmei fighting in midair already couldn't fully unleash her strength.

Naturally, defeating it was difficult.

But now, after greatly increasing her power,

she managed to shatter the shield.

"Hah..."

Wind-element cutting force surged from Yingmei's long sword!

It sliced right through the shield.

At the same time, a spiral water bubble appeared in her hand.

"Take this..."

Hard Vortex Water Blade unleashed!

A terrifying vortex relentlessly suppressed the opponent.

While the enemy was distracted by the technique,

Yingmei landed directly on the ground.

She raised her long sword, pouring her inner energy violently into its core.

Her mind remained as calm as a still pond.

She entered a state of unity between heaven and humanity.

At that moment, a voice echoed in her mind.

"Trust your own perception; don't be deceived by sound..."

Yingmei, who had been about to strike, instinctively blocked out the sound.

In her mind, she saw the shadow of Rai-on Gongen—appearing behind her.

She instantly spun around and slashed with her sword.

Just then, Rai-on Gongen broke free from control.

It teleported to that exact spot.

And was pierced straight through by one sword stroke.

Instantly appeared at that location.

Was pierced through by a single sword stroke.

A shocking shockwave passed straight through the Thunderbird Bodhisattva.

Brilliant fireworks bloomed in the sky.

The Thunderbird let out a horrifying scream.

Then its body rapidly disintegrated into countless lightning elements.

Launching an astonishing attack toward the Traveler.

It was obvious.

That last fish-stab move.

Had completely enraged this Thunder Sound Bodhisattva.

Originally a creature born of resentment, now it kept being provoked further.

It had completely lost control.

The entire Sky Cloud Ridge was instantly filled with lightning elements.

Accompanied by the Thunder Sound Bodhisattva’s furious roar, that terrifying thunder transformed into a storm of wind and rain, instantly enveloping the Traveler.

All eyes saw nothing but thunder.

There were absolutely no openings.

What should I do?

For a moment, the Traveler became flustered.

At that moment, Su Han’s voice sounded again.

“Stay calm. Close your eyes… The power of Observational Insight requires a very tranquil mind to activate, no matter whether you face a mountain of blades or a sea of fire, or even the farthest edge of hell.”

You must remain calm.

Every technique has its weakness…

Believe in your own strength.

Don’t be deceived by what lies before you…

If you can’t see through their moves, then focus even more intensely…”

For some reason.

Hearing those words.

The Traveler’s originally frantic heart seemed to plunge into an icy wasteland, instantly calming down.

She closed her eyes once more.

Swish.

A bolt of lightning struck.

Her originally fair arm was immediately drenched in blood.

Some areas turned blackened.

But the Traveler didn’t panic.

Instead, she kept focusing her spirit, staying calm even while injured!!

Gradually… a miraculous scene unfolded.

The Traveler realized she could now see every trick behind each lightning strike.

Even predict what they would do next.

This is… seeing into the future!!!

Swish.

Swish.

Swish.

On the platform.

Yun kept shifting continuously.

As if dancing in a sea of thunderbolts.

No matter how violently the lightning raged, it could not so much as harm her.

One minute later.

Yun finally caught sight of the form of Raijin Kongō.

The opponent had hidden within the high clouds, manipulating the thunder all along.

The body hovering above the platform was merely an illusion conjured from lightning.

She had been deceived!!!

"Is this how the Buddha is...?"

Yun murmured to herself.

No wonder her previous battle had been so difficult.

That was the trick they used.

She opened her eyes.

Her body rapidly moved across the ground over a hundred times, drawing all the lightning toward the afterimages she left behind.

An opening appeared.

Yun’s body glowed with light; she forcefully stomped the ground, launching herself skyward like a cannonball.

Raijin Kongō hadn’t even reacted.

Yun struck immediately.

"Spiral Sword..."

The silver-white weapon now blazed with four colors of light.

Wind.

Water.

Thunder.

Fire.

These forces superimposed together formed a terrifying spiral vortex.

It struck the Thunderbird once more.

This blow was a hundred times more terrifying than the previous one.

The four elements relentlessly destroyed the Thunderbird’s body.

The overwhelming power.

Prevented it from dissolving back into elemental form.

Raijin Kongō let out piercing cries of agony.

After so long of cultivation and constant training by Su Han, Yun’s strength had reached the level capable of defeating the Thunderbird.

But to kill it.

She still lacked a little more.

After all, her accumulation wasn’t enough yet.

Boom.

Paimon below heard something falling and quickly looked up—only to see a purple shadow plummeting fiercely from the clouds.

The nearby floating stones.

Trembled slightly.

And the platform that had served as the target for Raijin Kongō.

Sank directly inward.

Seeing the opponent defeated.

Su Han no longer wanted to watch.

Because he still had to deal with the Thunderbird next.

His power plant couldn’t do without it.

When he arrived near Raijin Kongō, over a hundred lightning chains shot toward him.

Though severely wounded.

The Thunderbird was far from powerless.

"Heaven’s Chains...”

Swish-swish.

Sacred chains appeared around Raijin Kongō, forming within less than a breath.

They bound the opponent firmly to the ground.

Meanwhile, the lightning chains.

Having lost control.

Dissipated one by one into the air.

Su Han drew his sword, Tessaiga, and plunged it directly into the opponent’s body.

"Aaaah!!!"

Raijin Kongō screamed in unbearable pain.

It was a pure elemental being.

If its primordial power is plundered, it may face extinction.

But no matter how the Thunder Voice Avatar resisted,

it could not break free from the Heavenly Chains binding it.

Recalling when Su Han was not yet powerful, he could still seal the Vortex Demon.

This mere Thunder Bird—

How could it possibly stand a chance against the Heavenly Chains?

With the rhythm of Iron Fang echoing,

the voice of the Thunder Voice Avatar kept fading, and its body began to dim.

This indicated its power was being rapidly drained.

And not just ordinary power—primordial power.

At this moment, Ying also descended from the sky, looking at the sealed Thunder Voice Avatar and asked: “Is this enough?”

“Yes, well done… I still have use for this Thunder Bird; this is sufficient!”

Su Han praised her.

Her Observing Color had reached the level of foreseeing the future.

She had taken a major step forward.

In the future, with serious cultivation,

she would likely be the strongest person besides him.

Paimon tilted her head and asked: “But… Su Han, I have a question. The Thunder Voice Avatar is a demon creature. If you want to use it as an energy source,

what if it refuses to cooperate?

Then it might cause a great deal of trouble…”

“Yes, I’ve naturally considered this… So, simply extract its soul!”

Su Han stepped forward.

His palm pressed onto the Thunder Voice Avatar’s body.

With the rhythm of power pulsing,

dark strands of soul energy

were drawn out from within the Thunder Voice Avatar.

Just watching it gave off a chilling, wild sensation.

Paimon exclaimed in surprise: “Is this its soul? It looks so terrifying… You can’t just consume something like this directly, can you?”

Generally, the souls of ordinary people

are transparent.
