"What... is that!?"
Ye Fan's gaze locked onto the sky, his eyes filled with shock.
From above, a towering giant had appeared!
The giant's body was engulfed in terrifying lightning, emanating immense power.
With a grab of its right hand, a weapon made entirely of lightning formed.
It hurled the weapon directly toward Ye Fan!
Seeing this, Ye Fan's pupils contracted sharply.
He immediately tried to dodge, but the lightning weapon's speed was far too fast.
Boom—
In an instant, the lightning weapon pierced through his body.
"Ah!"
Ye Fan let out a mental scream.
For the first time since becoming a sword, he felt excruciating pain throughout his entire body.
[Nether Flame Soul-Splitting Slash]!!!
Ye Fan glared at the giant figure in the sky and roared, swinging his arms.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—
Terrifying white flames burst from his body, surging toward the giant in the sky.
Crackle, crackle—
Immediately, the sky filled with gathering lightning energy.
It quickly formed a massive lightning shield.
Boom, boom—
The powerful white flames were completely blocked by the shield!
Ye Fan's eyes filled with disbelief.
Since becoming a sword, this was the first time he'd encountered such a formidable opponent!
"Lord God King!"
Qian Bailian's figure floated up from the distance and respectfully addressed the giant figure in the sky.
God King?!
Ye Fan's pupils contracted upon hearing this.
A God King surpassed even a Nine-Star Martial God, an entity countless times stronger!
And this one... was the Thunder God King, the ruler of lightning!
"Is this... a sword that has taken human form?"
The Thunder God King looked at Qian Bailian.
"Yes, Lord God King," Qian Bailian responded with deep reverence.
"This demonic sword has killed many of our Zhenmo Sect members."
"Please, Lord God King, destroy it!" Qian Bailian added.
The Thunder God King glanced at Qian Bailian, then directed his gaze back toward Ye Fan.
With a slight movement of his fingers, torrents of lightning surged forward again!
Crackle, crackle—
The terrifying bolts of lightning shot toward Ye Fan in an instant!
"Damn it!"
Ye Fan swung his right hand, trying to deflect the incoming lightning.
[Source Severing]!
All things were derived from source energy.
In theory, Ye Fan could neutralize any energy.
However, this lightning was different from ordinary lightning.
Even as he dispelled the bolts, his hand turned charred and black!
This lightning was still able to affect his body!
Ye Fan's eyes flashed with surprise.
How could this lightning be so powerful!?
"[God-Level Martial Skill: Thunder Punishment]."
The Thunder God King's voice resonated.
Crackle, crackle—
At that moment, the entire sky echoed with the immense sound of thunder.
It seemed like incomparably powerful lightning was brewing in the heavens!
Feeling the growing threat, Ye Fan's expression changed drastically.
No, even with his sword body's durability, he couldn't withstand such a massive lightning strike!
His face grew grim as he immediately flew toward another direction.
The sky above was filled with purple lightning.
Soon, colossal bolts of lightning rained down from the sky!
[Nether Flame Soul-Splitting Slash]!
Ye Fan, watching the incoming lightning, continued using his skill, unleashing a torrent of white flames to clash with the lightning.
Boom, boom—
The white flames collided with the descending lightning bolts, generating deafening explosions.
But the lightning cut through the flames and continued to charge toward Ye Fan.
"Damn it!"
Realizing this, Ye Fan's face grew even more grave.
He had no choice but to deflect the lightning with his bare hands.
But doing so caused his hands to burn with searing pain.
Meanwhile, more bolts of lightning descended, leaving him with no chance to dodge.
The terrifying lightning struck his body in an instant.
Ye Fan's form turned charred and black.
One bolt after another slammed into him.
Soon, his entire body was scorched, and he plummeted from the sky.
Boom—
His body crashed heavily into the ground below.
Yet, the lightning continued its relentless assault from above!
Boom, boom—
The entire area trembled violently under the immense impact.
The deafening roar of thunder and the overwhelming scene left Qian Bailian in awe.
"This is... god-level martial power..."
He was utterly shocked by what he had just witnessed.
So powerful!
"That demonic sword, even in its human form, is finished!"
Watching the devastating power, Qian Bailian was convinced that Ye Fan was doomed.
"Thunder God King!!!"
Suddenly, from the other side of the sky, a thunderous voice echoed.
The voice was so loud that Qian Bailian felt as if his head had been struck.
He immediately spat out blood.
His eyes widened as he looked toward the distant horizon.
There, another giant figure emerged!
It was a massive being with two heads!
"Demon God King?!"
Seeing the two-headed giant, Qian Bailian was filled with disbelief.
The Demon God King was a being equal in strength to the God Kings!
Incredibly powerful!
"I am merely executing a demonic sword," the Thunder God King said indifferently as he turned his gaze to the Demon God King.
"You invaded my Demon Domain and killed my people."
"Thunder God King, you have gone too far!"
