Chapter 1100: Supreme Dragon Might
Two thunder dragons rose against the sky, charging straight at Lei Qianfeng. The purple-black lightning suppressed the crimson flames, reflecting upon faces twisted in terror.
Crack!!!!!!
In the distant Heiya City, every corner and every living being heard a thunderous roar from the east that seemed never-ending. They instinctively looked up to see a patch of sky in the east turned into a chaotic spiderweb, countless black lightnings running rampant, shattering the firmament into pieces.
“Waaaaaaaaaaa——”
Countless overlapping shouts and screams actually overpowered the thunder. This was Lei Qianfeng's full power unleashed without restraint in extreme fury, and its force was imaginably tremendous. However, Lei Qianfeng had just unleashed the thunder dragon and was in a state of depleted power, and additionally caught off guard. When this force rebounded upon him, in extreme terror, he could only gather a mere thirty percent of his strength.
The thunder dragon force completely exploded before Lei Qianfeng. He was instantly blasted away, his face turning pale as he was injured both internally and externally. As a super-strong powerhouse of the Divine King Realm, and since the thunder dragon was his own power, he could naturally resist it. However, the five elders who had come with him—four of them standing less than ten zhang away from him—were also swept into the core of the force storm.
As powerful Divine Spirit Realm experts, they could easily dominate in the Heiya Realm. But facing a Divine King Realm power—a full-force strike born of fury—even if they had been prepared, they could never withstand it, let alone when they were completely caught off guard.
The moment Lei Qianfeng was blasted away, all four Soul Sect Divine Spirit elders let out a single scream. Their profound force defenses and bodies were effortlessly pierced by the lightning, and within a few short breaths, they were torn apart into shattered fragments.
The fifth elder and Lei Tiangang were integrating the scattered sixty-four hall disciples high in the sky a thousand zhang away, so they were not caught in the power's center. But the rampaging lightning force still struck like a terrible disaster, forcing them to desperately defend themselves amidst great alarm—ringing in their ears were the most terrifying thunder roars they had ever heard, along with the despairing screams of countless disciples.
No one knew how long it passed before the lightning finally dissipated. Lei Tiangang lifted his head from his terror, his entire body wracked with intense pain and covered in countless wounds. But he had no time to tend to himself, staring blankly ahead with his eyes shrinking for a long time.
The Soul Sect disciples, who had already suffered countless deaths under Yun Che's Golden Crow flames, were now reduced by more than half once more. Many disciples had no remains left, and countless charred corpses were falling in droves. As for the surviving disciples, a single glance showed there were at most thirty to forty thousand left, and all were injured.
Over a hundred thousand disciples—in the blink of an eye, less than thirty percent remained... truly in the blink of an eye!
And these were the most elite disciples of the Soul Sect, all having achieved the Divine Path! Even losing a single one was a great loss.
His gaze dropped. Lei Qianfeng's face was deathly pale, blood at the corner of his mouth, his entire aura in chaos. And the four elders who had been beside him... were completely gone!
At this sight, Lei Tiangang's entire body shook violently, his heart nearly leaping out of his chest. The Soul Sect's eight Divine Spirit realm elders had lost four in an instant... For the Soul Sect, this was an unimaginable loss... No! It was a catastrophe!
“Who... is... who...” Lei Qianfeng's body kept swaying, his aura wildly chaotic, and the murmur coming from his mouth trembled... clearly with fear. He took several deep breaths in a row, forcing out a shout that did not lose his dignity: “Which senior is present here? Why did you ambush my Black Soul Divine Sect?”
Everyone held their breath... Each of them had seen with their own eyes that the source of the terrible disaster just now was Lei Qianfeng's own power, meant to destroy the Black Soul Mountain Range, being rebounded back.
To rebound a Divine King's power back was tens of thousands of times more difficult than simply blocking it. In the Heiya Realm, Lei Qianfeng was seen as a true god by all profound practitioners. They simply could not imagine what level of power could completely rebound Lei Qianfeng's Divine King force.
“Yue Wan Xing Hui” required no profound force to activate, thus there was no leakage of profound aura. Moreover, Lei Qianfeng had just released his power and was already terrified beyond belief, so he naturally could not sense Yun Che's presence... but that absolutely did not mean Yun Che's crisis was resolved.
Just as Lei Qianfeng's roar faded, a vast, ancient, and distant aura suddenly spread across the sky, causing Lei Qianfeng and Lei Tiangang's expressions to change drastically.
This aura was not strong, but it was incomparably heavy and vast, pressing their souls as if under a ten-thousand-zhang abyss. At the same time, a humbling sense of insignificance quickly grew in their hearts, as if before this aura, they were as fragile and insignificant as ants.
“This... this is...” Lei Qianfeng's face shifted dramatically: “Dragon... Dragon Might!”
This spiritual pressure was not strong, seeming merely a wisp casually released, but its level was something Lei Qianfeng had never seen in his life. As a powerful Divine King, he was uncontrollably trembling in his soul under this faint strand of dragon spiritual pressure.
“Despicable humans!” A heavy voice came from an unknown distance, the might and anger within it causing even Lei Qianfeng to tremble violently: “This Venerable passed by this place by chance and rested for a while, only to be attacked by you for no reason. This Venerable merely administered a slight punishment, yet you not only lack gratitude but instead slander this Venerable for ambushing you! Are the humans of your Eastern Divine Region all such despicable and shameless creatures!?”
The majesty of this voice made Lei Qianfeng dare not move a muscle, and the anger it contained made him greatly alarmed.
As the Heiya Realm King, Lei Qianfeng naturally had extremely rich experience. In his earlier years, he had traveled to the Western Divine Region and even approached the border of the Dragon God Realm, where he had seen many dragons that were revered and feared by all living beings, standing at the pinnacle of all life. The strongest had been a true dragon at the Divine Sovereign Realm.
But even that Divine Sovereign true dragon's dragon might could not compare to this... far, far from it.
And his words clearly mentioned “you humans of the Eastern Divine Region,” meaning the other party was not from the Eastern Divine Region.
Could it be... a Dragon God from the Dragon God Realm in the Western Divine Region!?
With this thought, Lei Qianfeng was scared out of his wits, his liver and gallbladder trembling. All his momentum vanished as he said in panic: “So... so the senior is a predecessor from the distant Dragon God Realm! This junior... even with the greatest boldness, would never dare to disturb the senior. Just now was merely unintentional...”
“Since you dare not, then get lost now!”
Dragons were not warlike, but they never feared battle.
Dragons were not easily angered, but once truly enraged, heaven and earth would turn upside down.
Now ringing in their ears was the anger-filled voice of a Dragon God, every word like a hammer of judgment, heavily shaking their souls.
Lei Qianfeng, trembling with fear, also felt as if granted a great pardon. He quickly said: “Yes... yes! This junior will take his people and leave immediately. For a senior to grace our Heiya Realm is our fortune. This junior's sect is east of the mountain range. If the senior has any orders, Lei Qianfeng will go through fire and water without hesitation.”
Having spoken as quickly as possible, he dared not stay a moment longer: “Go, quickly!”
Lei Tiangang and the others had long been scared out of their wits by Lei Qianfeng's words of “predecessor from the Dragon God Realm.” Hearing this, they did not dare hesitate for a second, quickly leading the remaining disciples—still recovering from the disaster—hurriedly eastward, not even daring to make too much noise.
As they moved away, the vast dragon might vanished instantly. They took a deep breath of relief, but still did not dare look back. Their speed of departure did not slow but instead increased.
In the Black Soul Mountain, Yun Che heavily leaned against the dead tree behind him, drenched in sweat all over.
Severely wounded, with the Yellow Springs Ashes worsening his condition, and the “Yue Wan Xing Hui” greatly depleting his vitality, his profound energy was heavily drained.
The earlier large-scale Dragon Soul Domain had already caused a great loss of mental energy. Now, to scare away Lei Qianfeng, he had forcibly released the dragon soul’s pressure until it was completely exhausted...
The crisis was resolved—the attack was rebounded, and with the dragon might of the Primordial Azure Dragon, Yun Che was certain that Lei Qianfeng would not dare approach again for a short time. But the cost was that the depletion of both his body and spirit had reached an extremely severe degree.
Little Jasmine’s wide-open lips slowly closed, her starry eyes under the night sky flashing with blazing light: “Brother-in-law, you’re so amazing. They all seem to have been scared away.”
“...” Yun Che’s body, leaning against the dead tree, slowly slid down. His body and mind were as heavy as a thousand jun, and even Little Jasmine, who was right in front of him, appeared as a blurry colorful shadow. Breathing heavily, he gritted his teeth and said: “I really... owe you... from my past life...”
Plop.
Yun Che’s vision went dark, and he collapsed sideways, completely unconscious.
“...” Little Jasmine crouched down, reaching out to poke Yun Che’s nose. After a long while, she murmured softly: “So there really is such a big idiot...”
——————————
Lei Qianfeng ignored the wounds on his body, not stopping at all, until he left the Black Soul Mountain area. Only then did he slow down somewhat, but his chest still heaved incessantly, clearly still in shock.
“Sect Master, that aura... was it truly the Western Divine Region’s Dragon God Realm?” Lei Tiangang asked in disbelief.
“This King once visited the Western Divine Region. That was supreme dragon might, absolutely no mistake.” Lei Qianfeng panted heavily: “And that was no ordinary dragon might; it was very likely... very likely a Dragon God at the Divine Lord Realm!”
“Wh... what!?” Lei Tiangang and the surviving fifth elder cried out in shock.
Lei Qianfeng turned around, his gaze finally sweeping over the rear: “How many disciples are left?”
“Only... only thirty-six thousand disciples remain, and all are wounded. As for the others...” Lei Tiangang’s lips trembled, and he could not continue.
In one night, they had lost a hundred thousand elite disciples and four elders. This was crueler than the most terrifying nightmare he had ever dreamt. And more than half of them had died by the power of Sect Master Lei Qianfeng.
“The fourth, sixth, seventh, and eighth elders...” The fifth elder’s gaze was heavy.
“For there to be a person from the Dragon God Realm here and for us to provoke his wrath and still return alive is already a great fortune.” Lei Qianfeng clenched his fists tightly, his gaze cold and harsh: “It’s all because of Ling Yun...”
“Sect Master!” A hall master quickly approached. This was one of the Black Soul Hall masters who had severely wounded Yun Che earlier: “Subordinate has something to report. Subordinate suspects that the dragon might just now was very likely a trick played by Ling Yun!”
Lei Qianfeng frowned deeply: “A trick by Ling Yun? What do you mean?”
“Reporting to the Sect Master, subordinate was only a little short of killing Ling Yun earlier when he suddenly suffered a severe mental blow, allowing Ling Yun to escape. The aura I felt at that time... seems quite similar to the dragon might just now, so...”
“Nonsense!” Lei Qianfeng roared in fury: “This King has been to the Western Divine Region several times. Whether that was true dragon spiritual might, are you trying to say you know better than this King!?”
“Even if the dragon might was Ling Yun’s trick, was it also Ling Yun who directly knocked back this King’s own power!?”
The hall master was immediately drenched in cold sweat, saying in panic: “Please calm your anger, Sect Master. This subordinate was reckless...”
“Withdraw.” Lei Tiangang said weakly, then sighed heavily: “In one night, we lost a hundred thousand elite disciples, and the Second Elder, Fourth Elder, Sixth Elder, and Seventh Elder have fallen... If this matter gets out, the Soul Sect’s prestige will certainly plummet. Since Ling Yun appeared, our sect has suffered one calamity after another, yet we still haven’t been able to kill him. Regarding Ling Yun’s matter, perhaps...”
Before Lei Tiangang could finish, Lei Qianfeng suddenly picked up his sound transmission jade, and then his expression changed drastically: “What... did you say!?”
“Smack!”
The sound transmission jade instantly shattered into powder. Lei Qianfeng suddenly charged toward the sect like a madman. Lei Tiangang and the fifth elder exchanged a glance and quickly followed.
