The instant the Supreme Clarity Terrifying Thunder Divine Sword Talisman attached itself to Guang Lei Heavenly Monarch's Natal Flying Sword, an enormous change occurred.
Guang Lei Heavenly Monarch's entire body visibly swelled, his skin ballooning like a sphere, every strand of hair standing erect. Thunderous divine light blazed in his eyes, piercing through dozens of kilometers of space.
Even more terrifying were his aura and pressure!
In that instant, the aura around his body rose step by step. In almost the blink of an eye, it had increased more than threefold. His pressure was terrifyingly heavy, crushing space itself, utterly inhuman.
One had to know that in the Cultivation World, the higher a cultivator's realm, the harder it was to break through their own limits.
Even burning essence blood and divine soul, burning everything, could only increase one's strength by a factor of two. That was already power gained at the price of certain death, terrifying to the extreme, often enough to perish together with a mortal enemy beneath the same sky.
And now!
This was still not the end!
The aura and pressure around Guang Lei Heavenly Monarch continued to rise!
Bright-red blood began to flow from his nose and mouth. Faint, intersecting cracks appeared across his skin, translucent as though he were a balloon on the verge of bursting. Yet his aura continued climbing without end, terrifying beyond all reason.
This was immortal art!
It was certainly related to immortal art!
Moreover, it was an immortal-art achievement comprehended by a cultivator of an immensely powerful great divine ability, exquisite to the utmost limit, surpassing the common understanding of all cultivators in the world. Only immortal art could accomplish such a thing.
Threefold!
Fourfold!
Fivefold!
Sixfold!
In a single brief instant, Guang Lei Heavenly Monarch's aura had increased sixfold!
