"Isn't it a little too early to celebrate?"
Qin Shaofeng's voice was calm, yet it carried a power that made hearts tremble.
He slowly raised his right hand, spread his five fingers, and slammed it toward the cold, shattered frozen ground beneath his feet!
"Warming up... completely finished."
Buzz—!
The instant his palm touched the ground, the fragment in his chest abruptly erupted with unimaginable heat and light!
Mysterious lightning patterns, like living thorns, instantly crawled over his arm and crazily burrowed deep into the earth!
"Argh—!"
To ensure he had enough strength to crush Xuan Yao, Qin Shaofeng felt that the lightning power he had drawn from the surface earlier was still far from enough!
He needed to suck in two more huge mouthfuls!
In an instant, an indescribably vast force—heavy, wild, and thunder-attribute power pure to the extreme—surged crazily up his arm like an ancient colossal beast roused from slumber!
This power was far too immense!
It was much fiercer than before, even more terrifying than any previous time!
Qin Shaofeng felt as though his meridians, blood vessels, even every inch of his bones were groaning under an unbearable burden, as if the terrifying earth-vein lightning power would blast and tear him apart the very next second!
Countless tiny bloody cracks instantly burst across his skin. Before the blood could seep out, it was vaporized by the high temperature into a mist of blood!
"Damn it... this fragment... went this hard?!" He clenched his teeth until blood seeped from them, relying entirely on sheer willpower to hold on as he frantically circulated the Five Thunders Supreme Saint Art to guide the raging torrent.
Fortunately, the infusion came quickly and went quickly. It seemed the fragment had merely drawn out a burst of refined lightning power from deep within
