Chapter 293: Thunder Incarnation!
Chapter 293: Thunder Incarnation!
However, to his dismay, on this level, the hundred Pulse Formation Realm experts unexpectedly formed a formation, merging their true qi into one. Despite Du Shaoling\'s unyielding aura, his momentum waned under the suppression of their combined true qi.
Du Shaoling\'s expression turned solemn as he drew out his Demon Sky Sword. This is getting interesting. If the ninth level could be so easily overcome, wouldn’t that make the Sword Tower of Wind and Thunder overrated?
At that moment, the hundred Pulse Formation Realm limit experts raised their longswords skyward, simultaneously unleashing a burst of sword qi that coalesced into a colossal Sky Sword which hurtled toward Du Shaoling.
"The Sword of Heavenly Thunder\'s Judgment!"
In an instant, thunder roared, and Du Shaoling felt as though he heard a distant chant, clear as day, despite no one speaking.
The immense blue Sky Sword flickered with raging electric arcs. Since it was the Sword Tower of Wind and Thunder, the limit experts it produced naturally possessed attributes of wind and thunder. As the Judgment Sword drew closer, a gust of wind swept over which caused Du Shaoling\'s scalp to tingle and made him feel as if his head was about to explode.
"Sky-Swallowing Unyielding!"
Du Shaoling spat out a mouthful of blood as the ferocious Judgment Sword loomed ominously over his head, inflicting serious wounds upon him.
With no room for reservation, Du Shaoling\'s muscles bulged, and his physique expanded several times over. Surprisingly, he was also a practitioner of body refinement!
Holding the Sky Sword aloft with both hands, Du Shaoling declared, "Unyielding Strength, Sky-Raising Force!"
The thunderous force from the Judgment Sword scorched Du Shaoling\'s face and left his hair standing on end. However, Du Shaoling stubbornly withstood the combined attack of the hundred limit experts.
"Unyielding Strength, Sky-Shattering Force!"
With a wild roar, Du Shaoling exerted all his strength, then, with a sharp crack, the Judgment Sword completely dissipated into spiritual energy.
Unable to defeat Du Shaoling in a single move, the hundred limit experts joined forces once again and performed the Wind and Thunder Sealing Art hand gesture, forming a half-height Thunder Cage that tightly trapped Du Shaoling within.
Gritting his teeth, Du Shaoling frantically activated his unyielding aura, resisting the storm within the Wind and Thunder Cage.
The Wind and Thunder Cage was unable to contain his unyielding aura. The aura surged through, engulfing all the martial artists within the area, relentlessly attempting to disrupt the formation between them.
The potency of the Sky-Swallowing Creation Art lay in its ability to convert spiritual energy within the Wind and Thunder Cage into Du Shaoling\'s true qi. Consequently, Du Shaoling found himself unable to break free from the cage, while the hundred limit experts were unable to vanquish him.
The Spirit of Wind and Thunder nodded silently, acknowledging Du Shaoling\'s potential. Not bad, Du Shaoling, but do you really think you can beat me in a wager?
Ha, you\'re still too inexperienced!
"Trying to beat me? Perhaps in your next life!"
With a quiet transformation, the Spirit of Wind and Thunder morphed into a bolt of lightning, discreetly merging with one of the limit experts opposing Du Shaoling.
In an instant, the expert possessed by the Spirit of Wind and Thunder assumed control, directing the other limit experts. This arrangement exponentially increased their destructive power.
However, to avoid being spotted, the Spirit of Wind and Thunder only exerted power equivalent to the Pulse Formation Realm.
"Unyielding aura, heh?" The Spirit of Wind and Thunder chuckled. "Watch this: Thunder Incarnation - Thunder Slash!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A ferocious thunder dragon immediately swept through the entire trial space as all hundred limit experts simultaneously unleashed Thunder Slash. The unyielding aura that had been suppressing the entire area disappeared in an instant.
Du Shaoling\'s heart sank. It\'s over. I\'ve lost my biggest advantage.
"Thunder Incarnation - Thunderstorm!"
Once more, all one-hundred martial practitioners simultaneously unleashed the power of the Thunderstorm, fiercely pounding against the Wind and Thunder Cage. The ferocious thunder and lightning, accompanied by an ear-piercing sound of breaking air, blasted towards Du Shaoling. Stripped of his unyielding aura, Du Shaoling resembled a toothless tiger. Despite the formidable nature of his Sky-Swallowing Creation Art, he couldn\'t reverse the impending doom.
"It\'s over!"
Watching the thunderstorm assault from all directions, Du Shaoling abandoned all hope for survival.
Du Shaoling shut his eyes, succumbing to despair.
His unyielding aura shattered, and the once peerless might of his Sky-Swallowing Creation Art had faded into obscurity.
Consequently, he could only unleash about sixty percent of the Sky-Swallowing Creation Art\'s full potential.
Within the Wind and Thunder Cage, Du Shaoling let out a deep sigh, filled with sorrow. "To think that I, Du Shaoling, a genius of my era, would meet my demise in this place. Hahaha... How ironic, how utterly ironic!"
As the one-hundred thunderstorms closed in, about to unleash their mighty force, the Spirit of Wind and Thunder casually snatched them back into its palm.
"Young man, you\'ve lost," the Spirit of Wind and Thunder chuckled, appearing before Du Shaoling. "Hahaha! Do you admit defeat now?"
Du Shaoling, having narrowly escaped death, was drenched in sweat from shock. "Senior, the reputation of the Sword Tower of Wind and Thunder is indeed well-deserved. I concede. Whether you choose to kill or spare me, I will abide by your decision."
Straightening his posture, Du Shaoling continued, "But if you dare to humiliate me again, even if it costs me my life, I will not yield."
What he meant by humiliation was, of course, eating the booger of the Spirit of Wind and Thunder.
"Not bad, kid!"
The Spirit of Wind and Thunder firmly patted Du Shaoling\'s shoulder. "Your skills may be lacking a bit, kid, but you\'ve still got some courage. I won\'t kill you!"
Du Shaoling breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly feeling grateful. If it weren\'t for this bet, he might have truly met his end just now.
Little did he know, if it weren\'t for the Spirit of Wind and Thunder\'s deceit, he might have already passed the ninth level\'s test.
"Alright, you can leave now!"
The Spirit of Wind and Thunder flicked his finger, propelling Du Shaoling out of the Sword Tower of Wind and Thunder. He breathed a sigh of relief, chuckling. "I’ve finally got rid of that brat. Heh, kid, you\'re still too young to challenge me!
"Hmm?"
At that moment, the Spirit of Wind and Thunder\'s eyes flickered, and he muttered, "Another kid has made it to the ninth level? Impressive sword will. I must go and see!"
In the next instant, the Spirit of Wind and Thunder appeared in another trial space. Below, a young man was fiercely resisting, and to his surprise, it was none other than Li Bufan!
"His speed is decent, and he has fair talent, but what\'s truly remarkable is his sword will. He has reached advanced level as a mere Pulse Formation Realm. A genuine prodigy in the art of the sword. However, his sword will attribute falls just a bit short"
The Spirit of Wind and Thunder rested his chin on his hand. After a moment\'s pause, as if arriving at a decision, he muttered to himself, "Given his rare dual attribute physique of wind and thunder, it seems he might be a candidate to inherit the Wind and Thunder Transformation. Let\'s see if he can conquer the ninth level! Quality over quantity, kid, give it your all!"
Li Bufan remained unaware of the Spirit of Wind and Thunder\'s interest in him and the potential inheritance of the Wind and Thunder Transformation art.
However, such an inheritance was not easily obtained!
