Chapter 682: Whose Thunder Art is Stronger
Zhang Nuo flew through the high sky, his Divine Sense feeling the vast and magnificent landscape of the True Immortal Realm! If not for the division between the Immortal-aligned and Anti-Immortal Faction, this could be called an absolute pure land!
However, no matter where one is, there is no peace where people exist! The True Immortal Realm is no exception! As he thought this to himself, he suddenly entered a stretch of space, and a feeling of extreme unease arose in Zhang Nuo's heart! It was as if something was spying on him!
Yet his Divine Sense could not discover anything! Although it was just a feeling, once one's cultivation reaches his level, one must attach extreme importance to even the slightest fluctuation in their mind and spirit!
He increased the intensity of his Divine Sense search, but Zhang Nuo still found no abnormalities! His brows furrowed slightly; he had wanted to bypass the path ahead, but doing so would waste a lot of time. He made a decision on the spot: as long as he flew past at full speed, perhaps nothing major would happen!
Ever since entering the True Immortal Realm, Zhang Nuo's courage had grown much larger; as the saying goes, high skill leads to great courage, and a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger! If it were Jialouluo, he would have immediately changed direction upon feeling someone spying, even if it meant spending more time!
A few days later, a mountain peak wrapped in five-colored light appeared in front of Zhang Nuo. He only glanced at it and did not take it to heart; after all, he had seen countless mountain peaks along his journey!
Just as Zhang Nuo was ten thousand miles away from the mountain peak, a peal of thunder suddenly rang out from its surface, followed immediately by a startling rainbow flashing with cyan electric arcs that charged wildly toward him!
After a few flickers, the startling rainbow stopped in front of him, the light faded, and the appearance of Lei Fengyu was revealed! His gaze turned leisurely, and when he saw Zhang Nuo, he could not help but be startled!
Previously, he had always assumed that the person who killed several Patrol Envoys was Jialouluo, but he had not expected such an unfamiliar face! In the True Immortal Realm, he basically knew all the cultivators who had reached the True Immortal Realm, yet he had never seen this man in the plain-colored robe before!
Lei Fengyu was shocked! Zhang Nuo was even more shocked than him! A cultivator at the True Immortal Realm Third Layer had appeared before him for no reason! What exactly was going on? Could it be that the feeling of being spied on earlier was caused by this person?
"Who are you?"
Lei Fengyu asked with an unkind expression!
"Who am I? I should be the one asking you, Fellow Daoist? Who are you? Why are you blocking my path?"
Along this journey, Zhang Nuo had encountered quite a few Patrol Envoys, but he had never met a practitioner at the True Immortal Realm level. His expression turned uncertain as he spoke.
"You don't even recognize Lei? It seems you are not a cultivator of the True Immortal Realm! Where is Jialouluo? Take me to see him!"
With a cold sneer, Lei Fengyu looked at Zhang Nuo with disdain; he did not take a mere True Immortal Realm First Layer practitioner seriously! However, this person must have a connection to Jialouluo!
Upon hearing the man in front of him refer to himself as 'Lei', Zhang Nuo's heart skipped a beat! When he was in the underground cavern, he had heard Jialouluo mention that there was a cultivator in the True Immortal Realm who excelled at using Thunder Art, named Lei Fengyu! His thunder-attribute divine abilities were said to be masterful and god-like!
Judging by the way the man surnamed Lei had appeared, he must be that very Lei Fengyu!
"I wondered who it was, so it is Lord Lei! My apologies for the disrespect!"
After guessing the other party's identity, Zhang Nuo felt no fear at all! He also possessed thunder-attribute divine abilities! He just didn't know which would be stronger when compared!
A True Immortal's Thunder Art might have its superior aspects, but Zhang Nuo held many strange thunders in his hands; if they really fought, it was hard to say who would emerge victorious!
Seeing that Zhang Nuo's momentum had not been suppressed, a trace of anger appeared on Lei Fengyu's face! In the True Immortal Realm, who didn't respectfully call him Lord Lei when they saw him? Yet the young man before him was full of arrogance and didn't take him seriously at all! It even carried a hint of provocation!
"Kid, who exactly are you? Seeing that you ascended from the lower realms, you must have suffered a lot to achieve what you have today. If you refuse to take me to see Jialouluo, don't blame me for taking action!"
"Take action? I say, Lord Lei! I have long heard that your thunder-attribute divine abilities are not weak! I would like to witness them!"
Zhang Nuo raised an eyebrow, the Evil Qi on his body erupted, and at the same time, a ferocious sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth!
"Since you are courting death, don't blame me!"
As he spoke, without Lei Fengyu making any movement, a cyan electric arc flashed out from behind him, condensing into a thunder dragon several zhang long, which pounced toward Zhang Nuo!
This thunder dragon was imposing and exceptionally fierce, just like a real heavenly dragon descending to the world! Despite Zhang Nuo's indifferent appearance just now, he became twelve times more cautious once the fight actually began! Regardless, Lei Fengyu had been famous in the True Immortal Realm for a long time and was a Three-Tier realm cultivator!
Based on this alone, Zhang Nuo was at a significant disadvantage! Seeing the cyan thunder dragon approaching, yellow electric arcs flashed on his body, and after a rumbling peal of thunder, he transformed into a slender electric arc and vanished from where he stood!
The cyan thunder dragon missed its target! With a swirl, it returned to Lei Fengyu's side! At this moment, Zhang Nuo appeared in the void a hundred zhang away from Lei Fengyu!
"Thunder Escape Technique! So you are also proficient in a Thunder Art! It looks like you just used the Profound Yellow Rushing Thunder?"
Being able to identify the thunder Zhang Nuo used at a single glance made Zhang Nuo feel somewhat shocked; it seemed this person was indeed exceptionally proficient in Thunder Art!
Jialouluo's words to him earlier were correct: any high-level cultivator in the True Immortal Realm was not to be trifled with! If one encountered them, one must never fight them head-on!
But in the current situation, even if Zhang Nuo wanted to escape, it was simply impossible! Both of them knew how to use Thunder Escape; if they were to compete in speed, they might not decide a winner for three or five years! Moreover, he was somewhat curious: just how strong had this Lei Fengyu's Thunder Art become?
Once his fighting spirit was ignited, Zhang Nuo had no desire to escape! He sneered coldly:
"Profound Yellow Rushing Thunder is only one of the things I have learned! If Fellow Daoist Lei is interested, shall we spar?"
"It seems those previous Patrol Envoys also died at your hands! Jialouluo is truly formidable! To have found such a genius from a lower realm! But you are out of luck meeting me today!"
Glancing at Zhang Nuo, to be honest, Lei Fengyu still thought highly of him. From the time he discovered someone breaking the boundary to ascend until now, only a few decades had passed, yet the young man before him could advance to the True Immortal Realm First Layer; such aptitude could be called rare! And he possessed not-so-weak thunder-attribute divine abilities!
"Who is out of luck is not yet certain!"
Zhang Nuo suddenly flipped his hand, and two purple Thunder Balls were sacrificed! Although they were only the size of soybeans, they were astonishingly fast, and after a few flickers, they reached Lei Fengyu!
A rumbling thunderous sound rang out, and the Thunder Balls burst open instantly; ten thousand purple electric arcs fell simultaneously, like countless electric snakes dancing wildly!
Lei Fengyu's expression was solemn; the cyan thunder dragon behind him protected his entire body, while his eyes flashed with surprise!
"You even have Purple Lightning Wild Thunder! It seems you truly have many good things on you!"
Under the power of the sacrificed Thunder Art, Lei Fengyu did not feel fear; instead, he became somewhat excited! He changed his hand seal, and the cyan thunder dragon flashed with cyan light, transforming into countless tiny electric arcs that charged toward the falling Purple Lightning Wild Thunder!
A bizarre scene appeared! These cyan electric arcs, like threads, entangled all the purple electric arcs in the sky! Then, a cold snort was heard from Lei Fengyu's mouth!
A thunderous explosion echoed in the sky; the Purple Lightning Wild Thunder entangled by the cyan electric arcs burst open in response, turning into faint purple light and disappearing!
Zhang Nuo gasped! The power of these Purple Lightning Wild Thunders was extremely strong; even if they couldn't break the opponent's defense, they shouldn't have been destroyed! What exactly was the opponent's cyan thunder, that it could even destroy the power of thunder!
"Haha! Purple Lightning Wild Thunder is nothing more than this! If you have any other tricks, bring them out quickly!"
Lei Fengyu bathed in the scattered purple light; at this time, the cyan electric arcs had already returned to his skin, and he looked just like a Thunder God descending to the world!
Zhang Nuo's heart sank! It seemed his Thunder Art was not worth mentioning compared to the opponent's! Lei Fengyu was a True Immortal existence who had been immersed in Thunder Art for many years! Trying to defeat him with just a few types of strange thunder was somewhat unrealistic!
Thinking of this, the space behind Zhang Nuo twisted, and finally, his Divine Sea manifestation emerged!
"The Thunder Art is indeed powerful, but I wonder how your other divine abilities are?"
Pointing toward Lei Fengyu, the endless Moonlight Essence within the Divine Sea manifestation immediately swirled in one direction, forming a 'tornado' that whistled as it pounced toward Lei Fengyu!
Within the Moonlight Essence, wind-attribute power was mixed in. Once this attack was launched, it immediately revealed great power, breaking through the void along the way. However, it did not attack Lei Fengyu in a straight line, but instead traced various arcs in the sky, like a winding giant dragon, making it very difficult to capture its true direction of attack!
"Small tricks!"
Witnessing this scene, Lei Fengyu snorted through his nose, and the cyan electric arcs on his body flashed, transforming into an electric hand several zhang large, which reached toward a part of the Moonlight Essence!
Boom!
An explosion rang out; the cyan thunder hand seemed to have grabbed onto a mass of smoke, and the Moonlight Essence broke in the middle, but immediately after, the broken Moonlight Essence reconnected!
Lei Fengyu's expression changed! He felt that something was wrong; the current Moonlight Essence had already occupied the area within several hundred miles around him! Even a feint attack wouldn't be like this! Could there be some other mystery?
Especially the seemingly fragile Moonlight Essence, which was full of strangeness! How could an attack from a Divine Sea manifestation be so weak?
