Chapter 1488: Purple Thunder Dragon

One after another, golden thunder beasts emerged from all over the mountain forest, golden lightning frenziedly leaping across their bodies, releasing extremely violent thunderous fluctuations that caused even the void to show signs of distortion.

In the farther distance, one could faintly discern even more massive silhouettes of golden thunder beasts, and the dangerous aura they exuded caused the faces of quite a few powerful experts present to turn slightly pale.

While everyone was being intimidated by the aura of those golden thunder beasts, Zhou Jun clenched his palm, and a thunder trident appeared in his hand. Above his head, eight towering marquis platforms devoured the energy of heaven and earth, causing his momentum to surge step by step at this moment.

Zhou Jun's calm gaze swept across the crowd, finally pausing on Li Luo. He was actually somewhat surprised that the latter would choose Thunder Point Peak, after all, although Li Luo possessed the Thunder Physique, that was ultimately only a secondary physique.

"Are you coming for me?"

"Wanting to settle the grudge from the Crossing Battle, where I made a move against Jiang Qing'e?"

Zhou Jun's eyes narrowed slightly, but he did not appear overly wary. Although Li Luo had now entered the Unparalleled Third Rank, he himself had likewise made progress. If they truly fought, Li Luo might not gain much of an advantage.

After all, in his view, the only thing he needed to be wary of was the killing move formed when Li Luo simultaneously cast those two Upper Grade Destiny Marquis Arts.

"Go!"

Zhou Jun did not overthink it. With a low shout, his figure shot out first, the trident in his hand transforming into thunder, carrying a roaring sound that shattered the heavens, and then directly struck a golden thunder beast in advance.

Boom!

The earth cracked apart, and that golden thunder beast, comparable to a Sixth Rank Marquis expert, was instantly smashed into golden lightning scattered across the ground.

Zhou Jun clenched his palm, and the trident transformed into thunder that shot back, simultaneously neutralizing the golden lightning spat out by several golden thunder beasts. Above his head, atop the eight marquis platforms, countless thunder runes became dazzlingly brilliant.

Marquis divine smoke, like thunder magma, poured forth, transforming into thunder lances that once again, with an overwhelming momentum, crushed and killed golden thunder beasts one after another.

In just a short moment, Zhou Jun, relying on his own strength alone, carved a path through the numerous golden thunder beasts, then led his team to quickly charge out.

Zhou Jun's move immediately prompted the other teams to act one after another, and so within the mountain forest, violent thunder rumbles began to resound one after another.

Li Luo, seeing this scene, also nodded slightly. This Zhou Jun was indeed worthy of being the pillar supporter of the Mystic Spirit Ancient Academy this time; this level of strength was indeed extremely formidable.

He wondered how the other peaks were faring at this moment. Jiang Qing'e's side should be contending with Di Mingxuan for the first clear, right? Now that they had entered the mountain, the thunder clouds obscured the view, making it impossible to see the situations of the other peaks.

While these thoughts flashed through his mind, Li Luo did not hesitate in the slightest. He clenched his palm, and the Dragon Elephant Thunder Blade flashed into appearance, while his figure also shot rapidly toward those golden thunder beasts.

Behind him, Lv Qing'er, Li Hongyou, and others all quickly followed.

Boom!

The golden thunder beasts, emanating violent fluctuations, all came forward to meet the attack.

Li Luo formed a seal with one hand, and vast, majestic phase power swept forth, actually transforming into a dragon shadow approximately a hundred zhang in size. Numerous phase power fluctuations flowed across this dragon shadow's body.

This was a Lower Grade Destiny Marquis Art that came with the Little Dragon Sacred Seed.

Dragon Raising Art.

This art could transform phase power into a dragon form, usable for both offense and defense, with quite versatile applications.

Under Li Luo's driving, the dragon shadow directly and brutally slammed into those golden thunder beasts. Terrifying force erupted, smashing those golden thunder beasts one after another into scattered fine lightning across the sky.

Occasionally, some broken remnants that slipped through the net, before they could approach within a hundred zhang of the team, were quietly covered by a domineering ice phase power, turning into ice sculptures. Within the crystalline ice sculptures, lightning overflowed.

And Li Hongyou also made her move at this moment, channeling two talismans flowing with golden light into Li Luo and Lv Qing'er's bodies, causing them to maintain the fullness of their phase power at all times.

Simultaneously, atop the two marquis platforms above her head, a strange fragrance emanated, transforming into faint red smoke that lingered at the noses of everyone in the team. Within this strange fragrance, everyone's phase power recovery speed increased accordingly.

Under her empowerment, even Xi Chan, Cao Sheng, and Mi Er were able to unleash battle power far exceeding their usual levels.

Thus, as golden thunder beasts were destroyed one after another, the advance speed of their team also far outpaced the other teams, even beginning to catch up with the team led by Zhou Jun.

Zhou Jun also noticed this, and a cold glint immediately flashed in his eyes. He was determined to obtain the first clear opportunity. If Li Luo dared to come contend for it, he would definitely make him pay the price.

However, this was not the moment to make a move, after all, as they gradually approached the peak position, the thunderous energy condensed in heaven and earth also began to become increasingly violent and fierce.

Within Thunder Point Peak, thunder rumbled incessantly, and team after team exerted their full efforts to break through the obstruction of the golden thunder beasts.

And as time passed, the outline of the peak could be faintly seen in the distance.

Everyone was overjoyed.

Boom!

But just at this moment, purple light suddenly flourished in heaven and earth, and streaks of purple thunder poured down from the clouds, carrying terrifying fluctuations as they smashed toward the numerous teams on Thunder Point Peak.

Everyone's face showed horror, because the power of this purple thunder seemed extremely terrifying.

A marquis expert whose strength reached the Lower Seven Ranks went all out to meet it head-on, but with the clash, the void shattered at the point of impact. That Seventh Rank Marquis expert was blasted flying backward, his entire body scorched black, and he violently spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

The fresh blood hit the ground, filled with purple lightning leaping within it.

This scene sent chills down the spines of many teams. Just a single streak of purple thunder had actually injured a Lower Seventh Rank marquis expert?!

The teams able to reach this point could all be considered elites, not lacking Seventh Rank Marquis experts among them, but for the moment, they were also intimidated by these even more terrifying purple thunder bolts and did not dare to step into the area ahead.

Only two teams advanced fearlessly.

Those were naturally the two teams led by Li Luo and Zhou Jun.

Purple thunder comparable to the full-force strike of a Seventh Rank Marquis expert continuously fell, and Li Luo's expression also became solemn. The Dragon Elephant Thunder Blade in his hand slashed down.

The void shattered along with it, and in the next instant, three dragon shadows were seen roaring forth, carrying different phase power fluctuations.

Three Dragon Heavenly Banner Art!

The three dragon shadows intertwined together, transforming into an ancient dragon banner of brilliant colors. As the dragon banner waved, it splashed out divine light across the sky.

Three Dragon Town Demon Divine Light!

The divine light swept across the horizon, completely neutralizing those terrifying purple thunder bolts one after another. Each collision would trigger a deafening roar between heaven and earth.

Numerous gazes watched this scene with shock. Li Luo stood in mid-air, at the very top of the team, single-handedly intercepting those purple thunder bolts.

Above his head, three ten-pillar golden platforms devoured the energy of heaven and earth, restoring his phase power.

Fang Xingyun behind him could not help but be moved, then smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying: "I actually managed to clash with such a person for a moment before, that really counts as my highlight."

If he were to face him again now, Fang Xingyun felt that he probably could not last more than ten exchanges in Li Luo's hands, and this was on the premise that Li Luo would not immediately use that terrifying Upper Grade Destiny Marquis Art.

Fang Xingyun's gaze also turned toward Zhou Jun's side. The latter was likewise displaying great divine might, a thunder trident in his hand transforming into streaks of lightning that split apart the purple thunder.

Relying on his formidable Upper Eighth Rank strength, these purple thunder bolts, which were enough to pose a strong threat to Seventh Rank Marquis experts, clearly could not obstruct Zhou Jun's steps.

Thus, under the leadership of their respective leaders, the two teams, braving the purple thunder, advanced step by step toward the peak.

Everyone understood that the one to obtain the first clear opportunity should be one of these two teams.

Boom boom!

Thunder roared across the sky as the two squads drew ever closer to the peak of Thunder Finger Peak. They could already see, at the very top of the peak, a crystal mirror altar roughly ten zhang tall, its surface crystalline and translucent, reflecting countless bolts of lightning.

Entering that place would not only grant access to the thirty-second layer, but also bestow a first-clear opportunity!

Boom!

But at that moment, above Thunder Finger Peak, the thunderclouds began to contract violently, and from within them burst a dense purple light as bolts of purple lightning rapidly fused together.

Everyone's eyes showed horror, because at this moment the fluctuations emanating from the purple thunderclouds were steadily climbing toward the eighth-grade Marquis Realm.

This was the trial one would face when attempting to seize the first-clear opportunity!

Li Luo and Zhou Jun's expressions also grew extremely solemn.

That rapidly fusing purple lightning had already begun to make them sense an intense threat.

Boom!

The purple thunderclouds trembled wildly, unleashing thunder that drowned out every other sound. The next instant, everyone saw two enormous purple thunder dragons suddenly pierce out from within the clouds.

On the bodies of the purple thunder dragons, every single scale was clearly visible, and within their dragon pupils swirled a violent intent of destruction.

Roar!

The purple thunder dragons opened their maws and let out a sound that could not be distinguished as a dragon's cry or thunder, before plunging down from the horizon like two streaks of destructive tribulation lightning.

They slammed viciously toward Li Luo and Zhou Jun, who were positioned at the very front!
