tain's barrier immediately lost its effect, and everyone was able to enter unimpeded.Although they knew the distance was not far, once these people entered, they immediately vanished from everyone's s...The bearded middle-aged man was Xie Changsi, the Lei Protector of the Four Great Divine Dragons, his strength second only to Yi Luo Xiang, ranking second on the Dragon Ranking.

"I try everything when someone asks me for a favor. How can I admit defeat if I haven't tried"

Xie Changsi finished speaking and jumped onto the platform with both feet.

"Kid, I have to admit you've got some skill. As a sign of respect for a strong opponent, I'll be using my strongest Five Thunderclap Technique. Are you ready"

Xie Changsi's personality matched his zodiac sign and its compatibility. He was fiery and didn't mince words. After speaking, he stretched out his hands, and a huge electric arc appeared in his palms.

"Five Thunderclap Technique."

After a loud shout, the electric arc shot into the air, but instead of falling, it split into five. Each strand then began to gather more electrical power.

These arcs of electricity hung in the air, faintly rumbling like thunder, and grew thicker and thicker until they were as wide as a bucket, radiating an aura of immense power.

"Kid, are you ready Brace yourself for my Five Thunders Strike from Above!" Xie Changsi waved his hand. "Give me the order!"

His roar seemed to command the five bolts of lightning, which shot out together, each as thick as an arm. They intertwined, forming a gigantic thunder net that crashed down upon Ye Bufan's head.

"Holy cow, that's insane! How do you even dodge a lightning net like that"

Of course he's amazing, do you think being ranked second on the Shenlong List is just for show

Among the Four Great Divine Dragons' guardians, Lei Hufa had the highest cultivation. Back then, he relied on this Five Thunderclap Topping Technique to overwhelm the entire field, with no one able to match him.

"I wonder how this young man will cope this time. I doubt even the Extreme Cold Ice Field would be of help..."

All eyes turned to Ye Bufan, but this time no one jumped to conclusions. They realized that this young man excelled at defying expectations, time and again proving their predictions wrong.

Yi Luo Xiang's beautiful eyes were also on the young man on stage. Xie Chang Si was struck dumb, struggling to keep up himself. She wondered how this newcomer would handle it.

To everyone's astonishment, Ye Bufan stood on the stage as if petrified, not making a single move. He endured the thunderous lightning net falling upon him.

"Ah!"

A gasp went through the crowd, what was this young man doing Had he given up resistance knowing he was outmatched

"Boom..."

A flash of thunderous sound passed, and just as everyone thought he would be struck into charcoal, they found Ye Bufan still standing there unharmed. At the same time, he was holding a huge bead in his hand, which was densely covered with arcs of electricity and occasionally emitted a rumble of thunder.

Heavenly Thunder Orb, a magic weapon refined by Ye Bufan from the inner alchemy of a three-eyed thunder snake.

This artifact not only can release the power of lightning, but also can be used in reverse to absorb the power of lightning with the "吸字訣" (xi zì jüe), thereby enhancing its own power.

He just used this very move, absorbing all the power of the lightning released by his Five Thunders Strike technique into his Sky Thunder Orb.

"This...this...how is this possible"

Xie Changsi was astonished, he never dreamed that the other party would directly absorb his thunderbolt power.

I don't believe you, let's see how much you can suck.

After finishing his words, he waved his hand, and the five bolts of lightning above his head began to wreak havoc again. The lightning crackled down like it was free.

Ye Bufan gently flicked his wrist, and the Tianlei Bead rose to the top of his head, absorbing all the lightning.

"My goodness, I didn't expect him to have this kind of protection. It can even charge automatically..."

"I feel like this generation is really done for. Even if that pearl could hold an infinite amount, it would eventually be full. Then what"

"I agree. If we keep being passive and taking hits, there will be a moment of failure sooner or later."

Ye Bufan, however, remained calm and collected. He used his spiritual sense to continuously observe the Tianlei Orb above his head, a silent sigh escaping his heart.

Although Xie Changsi is skilled at controlling lightning power, he is clearly only at a small accomplishment stage. The power of this lightning is still too weak.

If strengthened further, perhaps one could induce a qualitative change in their Sky Thunder Pearl, elevating it to the next level.

As time passed, the Tianlei Bead absorbed more and more lightning, eventually becoming a dazzling thunderball that hovered in mid-air.

"Done, I think that bead has reached its limit, it's about to be unable to absorb anymore..."

Xie Changsi obviously realized this too, and burst into laughter: "Well Are you full now Let's see how you handle my five thunders crashing down."

After that, he increased the intensity of his attack, unleashing a barrage of lightning bolts towards the Skythunder Orb.

"You're such a fool! Did you never think I could wield the power of lightning"

Ye Bufan smiled faintly, then raised his hand and struck a seal into the Tianlei Pearl. A thunderclap roared, and a dazzling electric arc quickly brewed on the surface of the Tianlei Pearl.

This bolt of lightning was thinner than the five above it, only as thick as an adult's thigh, but the power it contained surpassed them all. Just a glance could make you feel fear from the bottom of your heart.

"Get out of here!"

With a loud shout, the bolt of lightning instantly shot towards Xie Changsi.

Now the whole audience was stunned, that's right. They had just subconsciously placed Ye Bufan in a position where he could only passively take the hit, but they didn't expect him to be able to control lightning as well.

This includes Xie Changsi, who had just been controlling lightning to strike people, having a blast doing it. He was extremely pleased with himself, but he never thought that one day, he would be the one struck by lightning.

And as a wielder of lightning, he could feel the immense power of this arc more than any other. It far surpassed his own Five Thundersclap Technique.

In a panic, he hastily waved his right hand and, with all his might, conjured a dense web of electricity in front of him, hoping to deflect the opponent's attack.

As it turned out, he had overestimated himself. Facing that immense electrical arc, the power grid proved as fragile as paper, ripped apart in an instant.

With a thunderous roar, a figure shot out. Xie Changsi was struck by the lightning and thrown off the Dragon King Stage.

He was in a terrible state, floating in mid-air with black smoke billowing from all over his body. His face was covered in soot, making it impossible to recognize him.

His long hair stood up like a bolt of lightning, and even his bushy beard bristled.

This was still Ye Bufan showing mercy, ultimately withdrawing most of the lightning power back into the Heavenly Thunder Pearl. Otherwise, this blow would have been enough to obliterate him, leaving not even a bone fragment behind.

Xie Changsi fell to the ground. Two inheritors went to help him up, but they were instantly struck by the electric power emanating from his body, their limbs tingling and hair standing on end. This showed just how powerful the blow had been.

"Ahem..."

He tried to speak, but as soon as he opened his mouth, two black plumes of smoke erupted from it. He looked incredibly awkward and funny.

Let out a long sigh, and cleared his throat again. Xie Changsi bowed to the stage: "Little brother, I, Xie, am convinced. Also, thank you for your mercy."

After he said that, everyone present came to their senses. They had been completely stunned just a moment ago.

One of the Four Great Dragon Protectors, Xie Changsi, who ranked second on the Dragon List, was actually defeated by the opponent's lightning.

If you didn't see it with your own eyes, no one would believe it if you told them.

At this moment, everyone realized that this young man absolutely had the strength to challenge the Dragon Rankings. He had already defeated three top masters and was only one step away from defeating the last master, Luo Xiang.rom the Saint Realm to the middle stage of the Emperor Realm.In this situation, even her standards had risen. How could she possibly look down on such an ordinary pillNow Feng Xiao's face had complete...
