Coming Out of Secluded Cultivation, Running Away
In an instant, the Second Heavenly Venerate's head was severed in two, and the remaining Sword Qi further shredded his mangled body. A phantom, almost dissipated Soul Body flew out from the body and plunged into the vortex without looking back.
"I've already told you you're trash, but you still won't admit it. I can't shatter the vortex, so I'll choose to attack your true form, you piece of trash."
Medusa's cold, mocking laughter reached the ears of the Second Heavenly Venerate Venerable's Soul Body, sounding extremely grating.
"Medusa! I, the Saint, will repay this debt of destruction a hundredfold!"
A roar filled with extreme resentment and venom emanated from the rapidly shrinking spatial rift, all of its previous arrogance gone, replaced only by dishevelment and hatred.
"Hmph, the howl of a stray dog." Her red lips parted slightly, her voice icy. "If you dare to come again, you piece of trash, I will surely annihilate you completely."
Medusa was quite satisfied with today's results, after all, her opponent was a veteran Advanced Half-Saint.
Moreover, his Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python Bloodline is not yet fully activated; he will only be able to achieve it after breaking through to the Dou Sheng.
In a battle between equals, the opponent's physical body was destroyed and eighty percent of their soul was also obliterated, while he himself was completely unharmed, a total crushing defeat. This would surprise many people if word got out, especially since he hadn't even used his true form, and the opponent was on the verge of death.
Suddenly, Medusa's face fell, and she looked distressed. "Sigh, when I get back, my sisters will probably laugh at me to death for not being able to completely kill the opponent among my peers. Also, when Xiao Tian finds out, he'll definitely give me a good scolding and lesson."
Medusa remembered Xiao Tian's lesson, which involved two steps: first, publicly spanking her in front of her sisters. She was Queen, after all; how could she possibly endure that?
The second one was even more terrifying; it was a lesson that struck right to the soul, and begging for mercy was useless. Each time, he was so badly punished that he was in a daze and couldn't recover for days.
In order to hone his combat skills, he became so engrossed in the battle that he completely forgot Xiao Tian's teachings: "Even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit," and immediately launched a powerful attack upon meeting Xiao Tian.
"I'm tired. Let's destroy it." Medusa sighed deeply, then headed towards Wind Lightning City.
After this battle, having destroyed the Wind Lightning Pavilion within the Four Pavilion, the name of the Free and Unfettered Hall spread throughout the entire continent.
The battle between Medusa and the Second Heavenly Venerate of the Soul Hall was also widely reported, and many people even went to the battlefield in the Wind Lightning Mountain Range to watch it. Everyone who went there couldn't help but gasp in shock.
In particular, there is a Advanced Half-Saint within their forces, and this Half-Saint even defeated a veteran Advanced Half-Saint of the same level.
For a time, the Free and Unfettered Hall became the talk of the Central State throughout the Central Plains.
The aggressive behavior of the Free and Unfettered Hall, in particular, has prompted many forces near the Northern Region, such as the Yellow Spring Pavilion and the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion, to take defensive measures, but many more are terrified.
However, after this battle, the Free and Unfettered Hall fell into silence and did not continue to expand out of the Northern Region.
This has led many to suspect that perhaps even the Half-Saint of the Free and Unfettered Hall was injured and had gone into Secluded Cultivation to heal.
Time flies, and three months have passed once again.
The Void Thunder Pool is a perilous place located in the Void Space. There are no people around, only billions of silver snakes of lightning roaring and exploding tirelessly. Destructive energy fills every inch of space, making it incredibly terrifying.
Near the core of the Void Thunder Pool, a young man in a blue robe sat cross-legged amidst thousands of lightning bolts, his eyes closed, his body like a bottomless pit, frantically absorbing the violent Thunder Power around him.
Pure Thunder were drawn over, transforming into pure energy that nourished his meridians, bones, and internal organs, eventually entering his Qi Sea.
Bathed in the light of lightning, a handsome and otherworldly face was revealed, as if he had been banished to Fallen Immortal.
This person was none other than Xiao Tian, who had been cultivating in the Void Thunder Pool for nearly a year.
The aura surrounding Xiao Tian suddenly surged to a critical point, and his boundless Dou Qi erupted like a volcano that had been suppressed for ten thousand years!
"Boom!"
Centered on it, a dazzling ring of lightning, visible to the naked eye, suddenly spread out, instantly annihilating and even clearing away all the lightning within a radius of dozens of feet!
Xiao Tian suddenly opened his eyes, and a tangible beam of lightning shot out from them, tearing apart the void in front of him. An immense and unparalleled pressure surged into the sky, stirring the Void Thunder Pool!
His long hair moved without wind, his robes fluttered, and his body was wrapped in five-colored arcs of electricity, crackling and emitting a terrifying wave of destruction.
"Finally broke through to the Intermediate Half-Saint! Hahaha! That feels great!"
As Xiao Tian felt the vast and powerful Dou Qi within his body, and then felt the nine strands of Wutu Thunder within him, his mood improved even more. He couldn't help but burst into loud laughter, the sound waves rolling and actually shattering several bolts of lightning that rushed in from afar.
Xiao Tian was quite satisfied with reaching this level. He didn't dare to enter the Black Demon Thunder area to absorb and cultivate yet, so he always cultivated near the edge of the Black Demon Thunder area. When needed, he would use his Thunder God Body to go in and catch a few strands of Black Demon Thunder to absorb.
Xiao Tian stood up, stretched his body, and his bones cracked and popped. A disdainful smile appeared on his lips. After a year of arduous cultivation, he had finally achieved perfection. It was time to emerge from seclusion!
He glanced at the still raging silver sea of lightning, the even more terrifying black demonic lightning sea, and the very core of it.
Just as Xiao Tian was about to leave, the Void Thunder Pool behind him suddenly and completely boiled up without warning!
"Oh? You don't want me to leave?"
Suddenly, dozens of black lightning bolts, exuding a destructive aura a hundred or a thousand times more terrifying than the previous Silver Lightning, and resembling dark Giant Dragon, slowly emerged from the deepest part of the Thunder Pool.
The blackness was so dark it seemed to devour all light; just one glance was enough to feel one's soul being torn apart and crushed into dust.
Black Demon Thunder!
Moreover, there were nearly a hundred of them, covering the sky and transforming into an endless black Thunder Sea, locking onto Xiao Tian, who had just unleashed his full power!
Xiao Tian's smile froze instantly, and his domineering aura vanished in an instant, replaced by a Chilling Intent that made his scalp tingle.
"What the hell?!"
"Cao Cao!"
"Cao Cao, Cao Cao!!"
Xiao Tian unconsciously swore. He didn't have time to think further. If he were to unseal the Thunder God Body, he could indeed fight it, but there would be no benefit to it. Moreover, it might attract more Black Demon Thunder. If the one at the very core came out, he would be blown up.
Run! You have to run! Run for your life!
He suddenly turned around, unleashing his powerful Dou Qi without reservation, pushing his speed to the limit, constantly using the Ground Shrinking to an Inch, and shooting off towards the outside of the Void Thunder Pool without looking back.
Xiao Tian didn't plan to enter the Free and Unfettered World directly. He could use the pursuit of these Thunder to train his Ground Shrinking to an Inch. Only under pressure could he make rapid progress.
