The next instant, the void suddenly exploded!
Dazzling lightning erupted from every direction, as though it had drawn upon the thunderous power of the entire region, gathering in an endless stream.
Blue-white electric serpents danced wildly across the sky, crackling with piercing snaps as they turned the once-dim wasteland bright as day.
With a thought from the Black Jade Qilin, the lightning filling the heavens abruptly condensed, forming a Qilin phantom tens of thousands of feet tall.
The phantom threw back its head and roared, its four hooves treading thunder and shaking heaven and earth as it swept down upon Lin Fan with a world-destroying force. Wherever it passed, the air was ionized, leaving behind searing trails.
Lin Fan's expression shifted slightly, but he showed no panic. He merely raised a hand, and a bolt of lightning shot from his fingertips.
The lightning glimmered with a faint violet hue. It looked tiny, without the slightest astonishing display of force, like a purple needle sinking into a vast sea of thunder.
Yet that unremarkable bolt instantly made the Black Jade Qilin's hair stand on end. A terror born from the depths of his bloodline erupted from his very soul.
He suddenly realized something. At once, he frantically mobilized every ounce of power within him, making the somewhat thin Qilin phantom tens of thousands of feet tall turn incomparably solid. Even the lightning swirling around it became more dazzling, nearly taking on physical form!
But the next second, it was already too late.
As that violet lightning lightly swept past, the colossal Qilin phantom crumbled and disintegrated with a boom, as fragile as paper mache!
The blue-white lightning scattered in every direction, yet instead of fading, it was drawn by some invisible force, rapidly gathering and spinning into an enormous lightning vortex
