Chapter 644: Divine Punishment Descends (2)!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! Gold, silver, and black, three streaks of lightning soared from the Nine Thunders Arena into the clouds, merging into the celestial array.
Amidst the flashing lightning, the three Supreme Generals voiced the decree of the heavens—
"Supreme and everlasting, the nine heavens uphold the realm! May thunder vanquish evil, and the righteous path shine eternal!"
The Thunder Immortal Formation trembled, like a slumbering beast roaring through the ages, shaking the heavens and earth, awakening all.
The celestial formation, with billions of thunderbolts swirling, formed a massive vortex. Endless lightning converged above the battlefield, exploding above the head of the Thunder Department’s seductress!
"Using a sledgehammer to crack a nut!"
"Our Thunder Department is powerful and dominant!"
The officials laughed heartily, seizing the opportunity to unleash their darkest desires, wildly mocking the beautiful, alluring woman they coveted but could never possess.Cao Shuo\'s nickname hid many a man’s desire but also included their superficial disdain for such dazzling women, to parade their own purity.
RUMBLE! RUMBLE! RUMBLE! The Thunder Immortal Formation boomed 30 times, its roars reverberating throughout the Thunder Department. Billions of thunderbolts, like the wrath of a thunder god, gathered fiercely, resembling a monstrous beast that blotted out the sky and opened its maw of fury upon her below!
"Such an explosive display…"
Even Gu Suwan had never witnessed such wild fury before, her pretty face reflecting the lightning flashes, continuously flickering.
"What a frightening amount of power… All this just to execute Cao Shuo. Aren\'t you guys overdoing it?" the Moon Sword Goddess, deeply shaken, asked in bewilderment.
"Who knows? Perhaps the Crown Prince required such a deterrent," Gu Suwan replied with a smile.
As the two women conversed, the ferocity of the Thunder Immortal Formation in the sky escalated dramatically!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! Each thunderclap released billions of lightning serpents that wildly swept across the sky over the Thunder Department.
The violet thunderbolts in the sky collided and merged, exploding into a dark violet vortex, resembling the face of a colossal demon glaring down at the sacred land, unleashing fierce and furious roars!
"This... this... this..."
Not just the millions of Immortals of the Thunder Department outside, but even the 10,000 officials were overwhelmed by the violent electrical storm, their eardrums nearly bursting, each one stunned and shocked.
"The Thunder Immortal Formation is incredible!"
Even then, most of the Thunder Department\'s Immortals were still reeling in shock.
How could it not be awe-inspiring?
They weren’t even the target of the formation, and yet their skin was nearly blistering with bloody wounds!
BOOM! At that moment, the Thunder Immortal Formation emitted the loudest thunderclap yet, as the entire black vortex trembled violently and contracted, a process that was terrifying to witness.
Such extreme contraction was bound to cause extreme destruction!
"Supreme Generals!"
Cao Sheng, who had just moved away from Cao Shuo, his face covered in sweat, looked towards the three Supreme Generals and asked loudly, "What’s happening? Surely this is overkill, isn\'t it?"
As he spoke, he suddenly noticed the three Supreme Generals looked deathly pale, their eyes bloody, blood dripping from the corners of their mouths, and blood spurting from every pore!
"It’s out of control!" Gu Zhenxiao shouted these words with a trembling voice, and then his body exploded in a burst of lightning, his arms instantly turning to a mist of blood.
"What!!!" Cao Sheng stiffened, his mind going blank.
A chill ran through him as he looked up abruptly!
Above in the heavens, a black column of lightning burst forth, striking down at terrifying speed upon Cao Sheng’s bald head!
BOOM! Cao Sheng’s eyes bulged, his mouth agape, as the black column of lightning instantly reduced him to dust!
As the column of lightning struck him, it pierced through the ground of the Thunder Department, blasting a gigantic crater of thunder.
"Ah?"
In an instant, the Nine Thunders Arena descended into chaos. The 10,000 officials turned pale, their scalps tingling, spines chilling, and cold sweat breaking out all over.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM…
In the next moment, countless black columns of lightning, like celestial swords from the heavens, furiously struck down, precisely targeting each of the Thunder Department\'s officials. The terrifying destructive force shredded flesh and obliterated celestial treasures and Bags of Holding where it struck.
The scene was unprecedentedly spectacular!
These lofty Immortals of the Thunder Department, now like mosquitoes under the Thunder Immortal Formation, were obliterated in flashes of lightning. Regardless of what celestial treasures they wielded, they fell, disintegrated, dying in extreme fear and disbelief.
"No, no, no!" Yun Yin, his eyes bloodied, watched the catastrophic scene with a heart-wrenching gaze, feeling as if he\'d been pierced by a thousand swords. Tears of blood streamed down his face as he watched the foundation of the entire Thunder Department being destroyed in the barrage of lightning.
"Supreme General, save me!" Suddenly, a young voice called out.
Startled, Yun Yin looked over to see a ferocious black lightning column striking towards Yun Xiao!
By Yun Xiao\'s side, both the Moon Sword Goddess and Gu Suwan had already turned pale. They acted in unison with Yun Xiao, who activated the triple layered protective formation of his newly acquired Platinum Champion Set.
BOOM! Even so, the destructive black column blasted them into oblivion. Amidst the smoke and dust, Yun Yin had no way of knowing the fate of the trio!
"It\'s over! Completely done for!" Gu Zhenxiao\'s voice was full of agony, even breaking into a cry.
Yun Yin, along with him and Man Zhan, looked around only to see the entire Nine Thunders Arena being perforated by countless black thunderbolts. In an instant, all 10,000 officials of the Thunder Department, without exception, were obliterated amidst screams, reduced to ash!
All were dead!
Not only that, the world-destroying black columns of lightning were now out of control, even shooting beyond the Divine Heaven Jade Purity Office, forming a black scythe-like thunder blade sweeping across the entire Thunder Department.
"AHH!" "NO!"
"GAGH!"
Countless Immortals, even those merely brushed by a spark of electricity, were instantly vaporized!
The closer these spectators were to the Divine Heaven Jade Purity Office, the more vocally enthusiastic they had been about the execution, and the faster they died!
At the entrance of the Divine Heaven Jade Purity Office, tens of thousands of students from the Grand Firmament Academy who had gathered close to watch were engulfed by a massive black lightning column, instantly exploding into a sea of black blood!
"Uh..."
Watching this unfold, the three Supreme Generals\' throats spasmed in horror!
Their faces bore the most grievous expressions.
"Nine Thunders Sovereign! Nine Thunders Sovereign!" Yun Yin cried out loud, crawling and rolling towards the direction of the Celestial Court!
Just then, the Thunder Immortal Formation seemed to release its last reserves of energy, slamming down three dragon-like black lightning bolts!
"No, don\'t..."
In a wail of agony, Yun Yin, Gu Zhenxiao, and Man Zhan, the three Supreme Generals, vanished into smoke with a hum!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! Only then did the Thunder Immortal Formation seem spent, its black fury fading to a violet-blue hue, the vortex dissipating, and the world slowly regaining clarity.
Yet, the Thunder Department was now a landscape of devastation, scarred and pocked, with countless Immortals reduced to flesh and ash. Black smoke rose everywhere, as if after an apocalyptic battle.
Screams of agony and pain replaced the thunderous roars, echoing across the surroundings.
The surviving Immortals, almost out of their minds with fear, fled in panic, wailing everywhere.
The entire Thunder Department seemed to have entered an unprecedented doomsday.
Darkness shrouded the land, and everywhere one looked resembled hell.
In the very heart of this hellish landscape, amidst a field of ruins, suddenly, a young man in white rose.
He looked to either side!
The Moon Sword Goddess and Gu Suwan lay beside him, their bodies covered in blood, half-charred by the lightning.
But they were not dead!
They hadn\'t been struck by the main force of the lightning. Their own considerable strength, combined with the top-tier celestial garments Yun Xiao had received as the Champion, ultimately protected them.
Of course, it also saved Yun Xiao himself.
However, under that thunderous annihilation, his Platinum Champion Set was now ash.
This indicated that the bolt that struck Yun Xiao was formidable, second only to the three that obliterated the three Supreme Generals.
"Are they unconscious from severe injuries?" Yun Xiao checked, the Moon Sword Goddess and Gu Suwan were in the same condition.
It turned out better this way.
Yun Xiao needed them alive to not stand out too much himself.
He lifted his head, looking over the hellish landscape.
Even after destruction, there were still flashes of gold everywhere.
Those glints of gold were from Bags of Holding and True Immortal Jades blasted out by the explosions.
"Time to get to work!"
Clad in white, Yun Xiao darted into the thick smoke, beginning his treasure hunt.
Even at the heart of this hell, no Projection Orb could penetrate the murk.
He kept picking treasures.
"Lu... Lu Yao..."
Just then, a trembling voice sounded behind him.
Yun Xiao turned to see the Thunder Department’s seductress standing there, her hair disheveled, her face smeared with black soot mixed with tears, making her look like a lump of coal—albeit a shapely one.
She wasn\'t hurt, just stained by the smoke and dust.
At that moment, as she watched the lively young man scavenging for treasures, she understood everything!
And understanding brought such a shock that her legs felt weak.
Watching the seemingly harmless boy before her, she felt numb.
Yun Xiao glanced at her and said, "What are you standing there dazed for? I still need to clear my name, so get moving."
"Okay, okay," she sobbed.
But this time, her tears were of relief.
"Hide yourself!" Yun Xiao barked.
"Okay," she continued crying.
"Don\'t hide too far!" Yun Xiao added.
"Why?" she asked, bewildered.
"Because of you, I was forced to reveal all my cards early!" Yun Xiao said.
"So?"
"Go take a bath. Once I\'m done collecting treasures, you\'re going to wish you were dead after I\'m done with you!"
