"Impressive. This fellow's body is incredibly powerful," Shi Yue praised.
If it had been an ordinary cultivator, the lightning tribulation would have reduced him to ashes long ago.
"That's hardly surprising! The Water-Repelling Lion-Kirin Beast is descended from the Water Kirin, and it can also release Kui Water Divine Thunder. This lightning can't hurt it. However, its bloodline is so pure that it's less likely to take human form. It might not be able to transform until it reaches the Spirit Transmutation Realm," Xiaoyaozi analyzed.
"I already knew that. The higher a spirit beast's bloodline, the later it can take human form."
At that moment, the dark clouds had shrunk by more than half, leaving only a little over thirty zhang across.
"Rumble!"
Several thick bolts of blue lightning shot out from the clouds and struck toward the Water-Repelling Lion-Kirin Beast like streaks of lightning.
"Kui Water Divine Thunder!" Shi Yue's expression changed.
He hadn't expected the Water-Repelling Lion-Kirin Beast's tribulation to draw down Kui Water Divine Thunder.
"Roar!"
The Water-Repelling Lion-Kirin Beast let out a strange roar. Blue light blazed across its body, and a vast mass of blue lightning surged forth, forming a huge Blue Lightning Ball that hurtled toward the incoming Kui Water Divine Thunder.
The Blue Lightning Ball collided with the blue lightning, erupting in a dazzling flash of blue light.
"Rumble!"
A deafening boom rang out, and a powerful shock wave swept in every direction.
The dark clouds churned and surged, transforming into a blue lightning dragon over thirty zhang long. With claws bared, it pounced at the Water-Repelling Lion-Kirin Beast.
The Water-Repelling Lion-Kirin Beast showed no fear. With a strange roar, it turned into a streak of blue light and charged toward the dragon.
Before long, the two were locked in a fierce struggle.
