Ninisha's Trump Card—Star Thunder Explosion!
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Two streaks of purple light flashed and collided through the void. Not a single person in the crowd below could make out their speed.
Although Leisijing primarily cultivated the Laws of the Earth and wasn't particularly fast, his Amethyst Space was simply too powerful. Its binding force left Ninisha feeling constrained, preventing her from using the speed advantage of the Laws of Thunder.
"This binding force is so strange. In that case..."
As Ninisha swung her long sword to fend off Leisijing's fists, she frantically circulated the divine power within her. The next instant, a tremendous explosion rang out. Centered on Ninisha, a pale purple halo abruptly spread outward.
"Bzzzz—"
The entire area instantly reverberated with a deep hum. Leisijing suddenly felt a powerful pressure. His fist slowed mid-swing, and then, to his shock, he realized his speed had dropped considerably. A numbing sensation washed over him.
"What's this? The Lightning Space Mysteries of the Laws of Thunder? It can do this?"
Leisijing looked around, a hint of shock flashing through his eyes. He could clearly sense that the space was filled with tiny electrical currents, greatly slowing anyone caught within them.
The Lightning Space Mysteries of the Laws of Thunder!
Although each set of laws had its own distinct mysteries, some aspects were shared, such as the basic elemental mysteries and the corresponding spatial mysteries. The Gravity Space of the Laws of the Earth and the Wind Space of the Laws of Wind were examples.
Although the Laws of Thunder weren't particularly suited to spatial binding, they still contained the Lightning Space Mysteries. By gathering lightning elements to form a domain of her own, Ninisha could use the tiny electrical currents to slow enemies within it.
Ninisha's move was nowhere near as powerful at binding as Leisijing's Amethyst Space, but it could still hinder him to some extent. Combined with Ninisha's own speed, it was enough to turn the tide of the battle.
"Boom!"
The moment Lightning Space spread, Ninisha sprang into action. The purple long sword in her hand became a dark-purple streak of light and shot toward Leisijing, like a bolt of lightning splitting the night sky.
Lightning Sword Light—an attack using Lightning Speed!
"Chii!"
Leisijing's expression changed abruptly. He shifted slightly, but the sword light pierced straight through his shoulder, shattering the Amethyst Armor on his body.
"Tch! You're really a pain to deal with!"
A fierce glint flashed in Leisijing's eyes as he let out a roar. The phantom of a gigantic Amethyst Monster appeared behind him, with a full one hundred and eight spikes on its back.
Innate Divine Ability—Amethyst Barrier!
A flash of purple light swept across the area, and a massive black barrier radiating an aura of destruction descended from the sky, instantly trapping Ninisha inside.
"What is this power?"
Ninisha was startled. She swung her long sword again and again, trying to break through the barrier, but to no avail.
The Amethyst Barrier of the Amethyst Divine Beast possessed absolute defensive power. Even a Paragon High-God couldn't break through it. This was an innate ability unique to the Amethyst Divine Beast.
At the same time, Leisijing shot into the sky, and the same purple spear as before reappeared in his hand. A pale yellow ripple began spreading from his body, while what seemed like an endless force built up at the spear tip.
"Whoosh!"
The instant the Amethyst Barrier vanished, Leisijing turned into a streak of purple light and charged at Ninisha. He was so fast that she couldn't dodge at all.
"Bang!"
The spear tip, glowing with an earthy yellow light, struck Ninisha. In that instant, all she could manage was to conjure a layer of purple armor around herself.
Tiny, crystalline diamonds joined together, while fine electrical currents flowed across the armor, forming a powerful defense.
Lightning Element Defense—Violet Lightning Armor.
The Laws of Thunder excelled at physical attacks and speed, much like the Laws of Wind. They weren't as good at defense as the Water Element or Earth Element, but that didn't mean the Lightning Element couldn't be used defensively.
As a powerful Asura-level cultivator of the Lightning Element, Ninisha knew her weakness well. She had specifically studied techniques to make up for her lack of defense, and Violet Lightning Armor was one of them.
But the next instant, Ninisha suddenly felt an incomparable force travel from the spear tip into her body. She couldn't stop herself from hurtling backward at high speed. Earth-yellow ripples spread through the void, and the space around her shattered under the terrifying force.
Force Shock, a power-based mystery of the Laws of the Earth!
The Laws of the Earth excelled at defense, but the power mystery was also incredibly destructive. Trapped by the Amethyst Barrier, Ninisha had no time to resist. After she was struck by Earth Divine Power, a terrifying force spread through her body.
A hole had been pierced through Ninisha's chest. Blood trickled from the corner of her mouth as she shot away like a falling meteor, crashing deep into the earth beneath the Battle Arena. A huge crater instantly appeared in the ground.
"Looks like I've won... Hmm?"
A hint of relief flashed through Leisijing's eyes. Then he suddenly paused and narrowed his eyes at the ground.
A golden light suddenly shot into the sky. Ninisha rose at an extraordinary speed, soaring straight into the clouds and quickly reaching a point above Leisijing.
"Leisijing, you're the strongest opponent I've ever faced. To show you my respect, I'm going to use my strongest attack. Be ready."
Ninisha's cool voice rang across the heavens and earth. At the same time, the sky within a radius of a thousand meters was rapidly covered in gold, threaded with faint blue-purple currents.
The golden lightning crackled with a rumbling roar. Bolts of purple lightning converged on Ninisha from every direction. At that moment, golden lightning blazed across her body.
"What's this?"
Leisijing's expression turned grave at the sight, then excitement flashed across his face.
As a divine beast, he was naturally fond of battle and slaughter. His mother treated him like a child, but had forgotten that Leisijing was long past the age of one.
Life in the safe, boring Amethyst Mountain Range had long since worn him down. He yearned for battle and slaughter, and to enter Purgatory and become a powerful Purgatory Commander.
"Hahaha! Come on!"
A purple halo flared across Leisijing's body, and Amethyst Armor quickly covered him from head to toe. At the same time, earthy yellow divine power surged as his Amethyst Space expanded to cover a thousand li in the blink of an eye.
At that moment, the spectators in the stands around the Battle Arena all felt a crushing pressure. Those with even slightly weaker power dropped straight to the ground.
"W-what is this? Is this what happens when Asura-level powerhouses clash?"
"My god, let me out of here!"
High above, the purple lightning merged completely into the Golden Thunder Cloud. Ninisha transformed into a bolt of lightning and shot into the thundercloud, her long sword buzzing violently as terrifying lightning divine power poured into it.
"Star Thunder—Explosion!"
As her cool voice rang out, Ninisha became a golden streak of light and charged toward Leisijing. When she entered the range of Amethyst Space, she barely slowed at all, as if its powerful binding force couldn't affect her.
The sword blade, glowing with a golden halo, appeared before Leisijing's eyes. Ninisha's figure was reflected in his pupils, seeming to transform into an invincible Thunder War God.
