Great Upheaval of the Situation

The bolt of lightning did not pierce through Zhang Chen's body and destroy the Soul Stone within him as Jin Geng had expected.

When the beam of lightning reached Zhang Chen's chest, it seemed to be blocked by something. The two remained locked in a stalemate for roughly five seconds before the power of lightning was finally exhausted and dissipated.

In Jin Geng's view, a massive bloodstained shield was blocking the front of Zhang Chen's chest. At its center was a scorched hole, just a hair's breadth away from piercing through the shield.

"A Blood Demon? No, it seems to be a Blood Realm creature even more advanced than a Blood Demon. A Sub-soul Stone? Or is it residing inside Zhang Chen's body?"

At this moment, Jin Geng had already begun treating Zhang Chen as an opponent of the same level. Just as Zhang Chen had said, Jin Geng was currently in the dual initial release state of both his Soul Stone and Sub-soul Stone.

Lightning God Form used the power of lightning to course through every meridian in the body and connect to the neurons in the brain. It was a complete physical-enhancement initial release, increasing speed, strength, reflexes, and lightning control.

His golden pupils and Twin Pupils had completely fused, vastly enhancing his visual perception while granting him formidable eye power.

Jin Geng's right arm, which Zhang Chen had broken, had three lightning essence motes separate from within his body and float at the three corresponding connection points of the arm: shoulder, elbow, and wrist. The three motes soon discharged electricity, reconstructing the arm.

"To have reached this level of initial release... it is almost equal to my ghost body. What a terrifying fellow."

The instant Jin Geng vanished from where he stood, Zhang Chen disappeared as well.
