The instant the Nine Nether Underworld Dragon Umbrella appeared, the second wave of nine Tribulation Lightnings came crashing down. Nine black dragons leaped from the umbrella's canopy, swallowing the nine bolts one after another. Sparks of lightning flickered across their bodies before they returned to the umbrella's surface.
