Lin Fan single-handedly challenging the Punishment Hall was something unimaginable within the Thunder Sect. Now, all four deputy hall masters had been subdued beneath his feet, leaving only Lei Kuanglong standing.
Lei Kuanglong’s气势 surged to the heavens, and the Thunder City behind him crackled with violent, uncontrollable lightning—he was truly enraged. How could a mere disciple of the common ranks dare to provoke him? What would become of his authority if he allowed this?
(Note: “气势” here refers to a character’s powerful aura or menacing presence, commonly used in martial arts or fantasy contexts. If you’d like a more natural English expression for this term, let me know!)
“Supreme Leader, between Leiming and Lei Kuanglong, who do you think will emerge victorious?” Qing Xuan asked. The current situation had surpassed her imagination entirely—it all felt so surreal and unbelievable.
“It’s hard to say, but Lei Kuanglong has a strong advantage. The Thunder City was bestowed by the Ancestor himself, a priceless treasure. I myself wouldn’t dare claim to break through its defenses. If Lei Kuanglong merges completely with the Thunder City, he becomes virtually invincible. He simply needs to exhaust Leiming’s spiritual power, and the outcome will be decided,” the Supreme Leader replied softly.
Regardless of who emerged victorious between Leiming and Lei Kuanglong, it was ultimately beneficial for her.
Understanding Lei Kuanglong’s true strength would help her prepare for future confrontations.
“Leiming, kneel down and I shall spare your life,” Lei Kuanglong declared with domineering authority, his body wrapped in lightning like a divine thunder god descending into the world, instilling fear in countless beings.
When Lin Fan saw Lei Kuanglong, he couldn’t help but frown. Was this guy an idiot? Even now, he still wanted to act all mighty. It seemed clear that taming him was unavoidable.
“Lei Kuanglong, kneel before me, and I won’t slap your face,” Lin Fan said calmly with a slight smile, beckoning with his finger.
“Seeking death!”
Lei Kuanglong roared furiously, his body transforming into a streak of lightning that tore through the air. Lightning surged through his entire being as he lunged forward with a devastating punch aimed at Lin Fan.
The sky darkened with dense lightning, and the disciples of the Thunder Sect trembled as they sensed the terrifying power in the air. They knew Lei Kuanglong had truly lost his temper—just a single spark of this destructive energy could annihilate anyone instantly.
Yet Lin Fan remained calm and composed. With a casual punch, he launched an attack following a strangely wondrous trajectory—straightforward, yet impossible to evade.
Boom!
It was a crushing blow, overwhelming and unstoppable. Though Lei Kuanglong was powerful, in Lin Fan’s eyes, he was still far too weak.
Lei Kuanglong’s body exploded instantly.
“Didn’t expect it to be just a Thunder Avatar. Interesting.”
Lin Fan crushed the avatar with one punch, surprised to find it wasn’t even his real body.
Everyone present was stunned. Lei Kuanglong was among the strongest in the Thunder Sect, yet Leiming’s power had shocked them all even further.
A single punch had crushed a Thunder Avatar, and he made it look effortless.
“Leiming, you cannot defeat this hall master. My true form has merged with the Thunder City—only the Ancestor himself could possibly kill me. No matter how strong you are, you still won’t be able to beat me.”
Lei Kuanglong stood with overwhelming dominance, his presence forming a thunderous realm behind him. His voice shook the heavens, commanding the very power of lightning.
“The Thunder City was refined by the Ancestor, capable of drawing upon all thunder energy in the heavens and earth to empower itself. With such a treasure, Lei Kuanglong is practically invincible. Even those with higher cultivation may not be able to defeat him.”
The Supreme Leader gazed at the Thunder City in the sky, her eyes flashing with jealousy. She didn’t understand why the Ancestor had favored Lei Kuanglong so much. If she had obtained such a treasure, she could refine all her martial techniques, and even reaching the Ancient Realm might be possible.
“Lei Kuanglong, you’re still too weak.”
Lin Fan smiled faintly, stepped forward, and unleashed his might. Oppressive pressure surged from all directions, crushing down upon Lei Kuanglong like an immense weight. Blood spurted from his mouth as he staggered back.
“How is this possible?”
Lei Kuanglong’s face turned pale, unable to believe what was happening.
“Damn you! You forced me to this!” Lei Kuanglong roared furiously, shocked by Leiming’s terrifying strength.
The surrounding disciples were equally stunned. None had expected Leiming to be this powerful.
Once hidden among the common disciples, unknown and unnoticed, he now stood boldly at the Punishment Hall, pushing Lei Kuanglong to the brink.
Terrifying. Absolutely terrifying.
At that moment, the Thunder City began to tremble violently, its lightning energy blotting out the sky, waves of thunder rumbling through the void.
The Thunder City’s spirit possessed the cultivation of a Supreme King at its peak, nearly reaching the threshold of the Ancient Realm.
Such power was truly horrifying.
Vast waves of thunder energy surged forth, overwhelming everything. Ordinary disciples trembled under its might, feeling an instinctive urge to kneel in submission.
This force was enough to suppress any demon under heaven, crushing all who dared defy its divine might.
“A truly fine treasure indeed,” Lin Fan murmured, admiring the Thunder City. Forged by the Ancestor himself, it contained the bloodline power of the Thunder Clan, exerting a deep, innate suppression.
At this moment, Lei Kuanglong stood like a thunder god, commanding the lightning of the heavens.
Divine majesty radiated outward, piercing through the void.
“Annihilate!”
Lei Kuanglong roared, and violent surges of lightning erupted. The Thunder City thundered from above, descending with full force, determined to crush Lin Fan completely.
The pressure from above grew heavier and heavier. Nearby disciples fled in panic, unable to withstand the force. Their spiritual energy felt like it might explode from their bodies.
Yet Lin Fan stood firm, gazing upward at the descending Thunder City.
His robes flapped in the wind, his long hair flying as streaks of lightning danced across his body. He raised his arm, fingers spread wide, and reached directly for the Thunder City.
“Seeking death!” Lei Kuanglong bellowed.
Boom!
Lin Fan’s fingers clamped around the Thunder City. Though violent lightning surged and writhed within, it could not escape his control.
“How is this possible!” Lei Kuanglong screamed in disbelief, as if he had seen a ghost.
“Heh, not so impressive after all. I’ll borrow this treasure for now,” Lin Fan said with a smile.
“Impossible!”
Lei Kuanglong roared in fury. “Wretched fool! Today I’ll show you what true terror is!”
He roared and spat out countless Holy Sun Pills, channeling them into the Thunder City as an endless stream of spiritual energy.
Ten billion Holy Sun Pills fully ignited the Thunder City, unleashing its full, uncontrollable might.
The masters of various halls watched in horror.
They hadn’t expected Lei Kuanglong to unleash the Thunder City’s full power.
The unleashed force would be terrifying beyond imagination.
“Retreat! The unleashed Thunder City will affect the entire Thunder Sect!” the Supreme Leader cried in alarm, immediately shielding Qing Xuan and fleeing far away.
The surrounding disciples, too, wasted no time escaping.
“Heh, ten billion Holy Sun Pills? That’s far too few. Though, for you, it must be quite a lot,” Lin Fan said with a faint smile, clearly unconcerned.
Though Lei Kuanglong’s strength was decent, his foundation was shallow. Those ten billion Holy Sun Pills were probably his entire fortune.
Lin Fan, on the other hand, dealt in “trillions” with a single move. Compared to him, Lei Kuanglong’s resources were pitifully scarce.
“Annihilate!”
At that moment, Lin Fan slightly tightened his grip. His spiritual energy surged, instantly crushing the Thunder City’s unleashed power.
“Lei Kuanglong, it’s over. From now on, the Punishment Hall will be under my control.”
Lin Fan’s eyes blazed with divine light. He threw a punch that shattered the void itself, crashing down upon Lei Kuanglong, obliterating every trace of thunder energy around him.
Boom!
Lei Kuanglong spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes wide with terror.
“How is this possible!”
