Falling Thunder

Above Jingshui Lake, Luo Ya paid no heed to his opponent's stunned expression. He simply watched him with a cold gaze.

Under Luo Ya's indifferent stare, as though he were already a dead man, Bradic couldn't help but feel his heart tremble.

"How could this be?" He couldn't believe any of it.

A Lowgod had actually shrugged off his ultimate soul attack?

What a joke!

"So this is your soul attack? It's pretty good, actually!" To be honest, Bradic's soul attack was already quite powerful. Even the little soul serpent had developed a hint of sentience.

By comparison, Luo Ya's own soul attacks were much cruder.

Hearing Luo Ya's offhand assessment, Bradic was both shocked and furious!

What kind of monster was this guy?

"I took one of your soul attacks, so now you can take one of—" Just as Luo Ya was about to return the favor, a sudden change erupted in the sky!

"Roar!" Bradic let out a deep, furious roar.

In an instant, the phantom of a long, winding purple serpent appeared behind him. It radiated a chilling aura, its entire body a strange, eerie purple. Its two green, triangular eyes made it look even more sinister, and a peculiar white lightning-shaped mark sat between its brows.

"Die!" Bradic glared at Luo Ya.

The extraordinarily long purple serpent coiling behind him fixed its dark green eyes on Luo Ya as well.

"This is—" Luo Ya's expression shifted. Dark Divine Power surged through him, condensing into a Black Hole in front of his body.

"Vmmm—" A blinding bolt of lightning shot from the mark between Bradic's brows straight toward Luo Ya.

Innate Divine Ability—Falling Thunder!

"What kind of attack is that?" The onlookers, who had thought the battle was already over, were stunned.

Could the tide still turn?

"That attack of his..." The strike, unleashed through an Innate Divine Ability, seemed to carry some kind of peculiar tracking effect. Luo Ya realized he couldn't dodge it.

If he couldn't evade it, then he had no choice but to take it head-on.

With a thought, Luo Ya condensed Dark Divine Power into a Black Hole before him. For the bolt to reach him, it would first have to break through the Black Hole's limits.

"Whoosh!"

The dazzling bolt, like the first light of dawn or a comet descending upon the earth, shot straight into the Black Hole in front of Luo Ya!

"Crackle!" The already unstable space inside the Black Hole erupted in an instant with endless searing white lightning, shining in the sky like a miniature sun!

But after only a breath or two, the "sun" gradually dimmed, and the terrifying lightning vanished without a trace.

"How is this possible? Even my Innate Divine Ability couldn't hurt him!" Bradic was utterly despairing.

"Roar!" With nothing left to try, Bradic let out another unwilling roar.

But before he could unleash his Innate Divine Ability this time, a beam of pitch-black light suddenly burst from the Black Hole in front of Luo Ya!

The air cracked sharply, and Bradic's head turned to mush. A gray Godhead fell from the sky.

At the same time, with a sudden "whoosh," a purple serpent nearly a hundred meters long emerged in terror from Bradic's corpse. It was Bradic's true form.

The purple serpent shot into the sky, trying to flee. But it was only a Saint Domain True Body—how fast could it possibly be? Luo Ya sent another beam of light from the Black Hole, instantly punching a hole through its head. It plunged from the sky.

Divine beast—the Nether Thunder Snake, Bradic, had fallen completely!

Silence fell across the world. Everyone who had witnessed the outcome of the battle was struck speechless.

The powerful experts on the island had seen the entire battle clearly.

When Bradic attacked, the heavens and earth changed color, leaving the experts in awe.

Luo Ya's effortless defense against Bradic's attacks earned their admiration and respect.

Especially when Bradic unleashed his Innate Divine Ability at the end, every expert was stunned. The might of that world-shaking bolt had made their hearts tremble. Yet... who could have imagined that even such power couldn't harm Luo Ya in the slightest?

Everyone was dumbfounded!

In a brief moment, the Sovereign of the Western Continent—the Thunder God—had been wiped out, along with every one of his clones, including his Saint Domain True Body!

Luo Ya's overwhelming strength left everyone stunned.

And when Bradic finally fell—

All the poor souls he had controlled with his soul regained consciousness in an instant.

"The Thunder God is dead! Haha, he's finally dead!"

In a wilderness, a brown-haired man with his upper body bare laughed wildly, almost hysterically.

"For all these years, I've been living in a daze. Today, I'm finally free of that Fiend's control!" The brown-haired man was so excited that his body trembled.

On the Extreme North Snow Plains, a white-haired young man with a horn growing from his head suddenly had tears in his eyes. He was so overcome with emotion that he could barely contain himself.

"Roar!"

The white-haired young man suddenly transformed into his true form, becoming a One-Horned Snow Lion over ten meters long. Then he roared wildly!

His roar of release echoed like thunder through the heavens and earth, even triggering a massive avalanche in the surrounding area!

As long as that Fiend lived, Morti had been nothing but a puppet, living a fate worse than death!

"Who killed that Fiend? I really ought to thank him." Morti murmured to himself. Looking beyond the snow plains at the beautiful scenery, he felt an immense longing well up inside him.

Above Jingshui Lake.

"His Innate Divine Ability would probably be enough to kill an ordinary Midgod in a single strike." Recalling the power of the attack his Black Hole had endured, Luo Ya felt a lingering chill.

At the time, he had used the Profound Mystery of Devour, Divine Power, and Willpower together. Only then had he managed to neutralize the attack so easily.

If he hadn't had Willpower to protect him, he would have been the one to die!

"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"...

Amid the sound of rushing air, several items swiftly flew toward Luo Ya.

"Two Midgod Godheads, a Midgod Artifact, and a divine beast's corpse... This time, I've made quite a haul." Truthfully, Bradic couldn't be blamed for this battle.

Anyone with his kind of power would never have believed he could lose to a Lowgod.

"Being this ridiculously powerful as a Lowgod is bound to attract attention. If I want to go to Hell or another Supreme Plane, I'd better become a Midgod first." Even if someone's strength as a Midgod was unusual, they could explain it by having fused more Profound Mysteries.

By then, he could easily pass himself off as a "genius" who had fused several Profound Mysteries through sheer perseverance while still a Midgod.

Of course, becoming such a person was his goal as well.

With Willpower bolstering him, he would be unlikely to meet an early death even in a Supreme Plane, unless something unusual happened.

Since that was the case, he would certainly want to remain at the Midgod stage for as long as possible.

After all, it was easier to fuse Profound Mysteries as a Midgod. Once he reached Highgod, the difficulty would increase dramatically.

However, the Supreme Planes were hardly peaceful places. Many people were forced to cultivate to Highgod first just to stay alive, but he had no such concerns.

Of course, even at the Midgod stage, fusing more Profound Mysteries was no easy task.

As these jumbled thoughts flashed through his mind, Luo Ya gathered his spoils, turned, and flew straight toward Jingshui Lake. In an instant, he disappeared into the sky.

Only the shattered, desolate ground not far below remained to bear faithful witness to everything that had just happened.

Of course, there had been plenty of spectators to the battle.

It was easy to imagine that the legendary scene would soon spread across the entire continent!
