Protagonist:
Xu Zhangqing
Seeing this, Jian Hanxin's Earth Grade Golden Core spun wildly within his body, and golden-purple thunder light suddenly surged around him. He shouted inwardly: "Thunder Gold Devouring Spirit!"
Before his voice fell, the Spirit Patterns on the Autumn Water Sword lit up completely.
The Sword Body flung out chains woven of gold and thunder, their ends bearing sharp reverse hooks.
At the same time, he himself turned into a streak of light, charging toward the giant palm at extreme speed.
Just when everyone, even Lei Yuan, thought this person was going to clash head-on.
The chains nimbly wound around the Thunder Palm, then coiled round and round, forcibly sealing it, and then took root like growths, driving inside; the Devouring Spirit power erupted completely.
The reverse hooks continuously tore at the giant palm, beginning to devour the thunder power within it.
Sizzle!
The sound was exceptionally piercing; the Thunder Palm dimmed continuously at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In less than a single breath, its volume had shrunk by more than half.
And all the absorbed thunder power was entirely fed back to Jian Hanxin.
The light around him surged, thunder light flickered, electric snakes danced wildly.
Compared to just now, his strength had increased by at least double, and was still rising.
"This... this is a Divine Ability?"
"What Divine Ability can devour thunder power?"
"It doesn't feel like a Common one; otherwise everyone would recognize it at a glance!"
Seeing this scene, the audience below the platform clamored.
The playfulness on Lei Yuan's face vanished, replaced by astonishment: "This should be a Variant of the 'Thunder Devouring Spirit' Divine Ability, fused with the Metal attribute."
No wonder this person dared to ascend the platform to challenge; turns out he possesses a Variant Divine Ability.
Once Thunder Devouring Spirit is cast, it can absorb the opponent's spells and forcibly dissolve them with thunder power.
However, if the opponent is too much stronger, or has a Spirit Root that counters it, the effect will weaken, and one may even suffer injury.
Jian Hanxin appeared Expressionless, but in reality was Confident: "My Divine Ability happens to Restrain your Longhu Immortal Sect's Thunder Technique; if you don't believe it, you can continue."
Quite a few Longhu Immortal Sect Disciples' expressions turned a bit ugly: "This arrogant?"
On the Dongting Immortal Sect side, morale Immediately rose: "Senior Brother Jian, go for it!"
Lei Yuan heard this and gave a half-smile: "I really don't believe it!"
As his words fell, the purple light around him grew even more intense.
He formed hand seals with both hands, and in an instant several Thunder Spears condensed into being.
His Mind Moved, and carrying a sharp whistle that tore space, they shot toward Jian Hanxin.
At first glance, they seemed like a very ordinary spell attack, with nothing special about them.
Jian Hanxin, relying on the Thunder Gold Devouring Spirit's ability, could forcibly bind and forcibly absorb them.
However, as time passed, these Thunder Spears split from one into two, two into four, four into eight; the quantity became More and More, until they were Dense, completely enveloping the entire Dueling Platform.
Although Jian Hanxin, relying on the Variant Divine Ability, could Restrain them, and even absorb the opponent's thunder power, causing himself to continuously grow stronger.
But these Thunder Spears were not only numerous, but also extremely fast.
Even if Jian Hanxin wielded the Autumn Water Sword into Afterimages, there were ultimately moments he could not react in time.
Tsk!
Initially, only a single Sword Mark appeared on his body.
Tsk tsk!
Soon another was added.
Tsk tsk tsk!
Then he became increasingly hard-pressed.
On the Surface, Lei Yuan was indeed a bit more serious, yet still carried a trace of Mocking, As if from start to finish he never took his opponent seriously.
Crack!
Jian Hanxin cleaved an incoming Thunder Spear with one sword; he Ignored the wounds on his body, his gaze growing brighter and brighter, his whole person's aura becoming More and More intense: "Accumulated enough; now let you see the power of a Variant Divine Ability."
The golden-purple thunder light around him suddenly Twisted, and the Autumn Water Sword left his hand.
The surrounding audience thought he could Endure no more, and had already begun to Shake their heads.
But Unexpectedly, the Autumn Water Sword that flew out actually spun rapidly in midair.
The Spirit Patterns on the Sword Body intertwined with the thunder power and metal power within his body, unexpectedly transforming into a rapidly spinning Thunder Gold Vortex.
The Vortex continuously Expanded, its Edge rippling with sharp Blade light; along its path, thunder power was frantically sucked in, even the air stirred to a whimpering sound.
Lei Yuan "hmm"ed, his face gaining a few degrees of Solemnity.
He could feel how strong the power contained within was, and that it was still Continuously Enhancing.
The Thunder Gold Vortex spun larger and larger, all surrounding Thunder Spears sucked into it.
Not only was the thunder power absorbed due to the Divine Ability, but it was also shredded by the internal metal power.
The Vortex's light grew more and more intense, its volume expanding in an instant to over ten zhang, carrying a terrifying might that crushed everything, sweeping toward Lei Yuan.
Lei Yuan raised an eyebrow, Immediately activating the Thunder Pattern Light Shield with extremely high Defense, attempting to block Jian Hanxin's attack once again.
But this time... it was different.
The Thunder Gold Vortex slammed into the light shield, the golden blades cutting wildly.
In an instant, more than half of the thunder patterns on the light shield were worn away.
The spiritual light began to dim, even showing signs of collapse.
Lei Yuan's face finally changed: "Impossible!"
The power of this strike could not even be supported by the mana of a Golden Core Perfection cultivator.
Does that not mean that after absorbing so much thunder power, the opponent can already unleash power close to the Nascent Soul Early Stage?
If so, this variant divine ability is truly terrifying.
Helpless, he could only inject more mana to barely stabilize the light shield.
However, watching the thunder patterns above grow increasingly blurred, with constant "crack crack" sounds in his ears, he grew increasingly displeased, and his gaze turned cold.
Zhao Ziyue said in surprise: "Jian Hanxin actually suppressed Lei Yuan?"
Hu Bugui clicked his tongue in amazement: "Looks like our immortal sect has gained another expert."
Zhao Chengdao shook his head: "Lei Yuan is the number one Core Disciple; do not underestimate him."
Xu Zhangqing nodded slightly: "Indeed, I always feel Lei Yuan has not shown his full strength, and moreover that thunder pattern blue flood dragon has not yet acted."
On the Left Side, seeing that he held the advantage, Jian Hanxin gave his opponent no chance to catch his breath.
A point of his fingertip, and the Thunder Gold Vortex suddenly accelerated.
From the center of the vortex shot forth a condensed Thunder Gold Sword Light, one zhang wide, tearing through the air with a "pu chi" sound, straight toward Lei Yuan below.
This strike was fast and fierce, actually piercing directly through the Thunder Pattern Light Shield.
Brushing past Lei Yuan's shoulder, it cut a slit in his silver-white battle armor.
This time, Lei Yuan was thoroughly enraged: "You're courting death!"
As the number one Core Disciple of the Longhu Immortal Sect, not only did he possess an Innate Thunder Body, but he was also accompanied by a thunder pattern blue flood dragon; wherever he went, he was a great figure who could call wind and summon rain.
He had originally planned to play around casually and end it, giving the Dongting Immortal Sect some face, but never expected to be pushed to this point by a Golden Core cultivator.
The key was that the strike which pierced the defense used the very thunder power he himself had absorbed, equivalent to returning his own method against him; this was simply an insult!
In an instant, the aura around his body surged violently.
Clouds above his head surged, and the thunder pattern blue flood dragon let out an ear-splitting hiss.
A terrifying pressure far beyond the Golden Core Stage swept across the entire field; the protective array of the Dueling Platform instantly shone with its strongest spiritual light, then began to flash wildly, as if it would shatter in the next second.
The crowd below the platform was shaken by this pressure and retreated again and again, their faces turning pale one by one.
As for Jian Hanxin, he suffered the greatest impact; seeing his Thunder Gold Vortex destroyed in an instant, his face changed drastically, and he exclaimed: "You... you are not Golden Core Stage!"
