The entire Martial Arena was shaken by the Thunder Emperor's attacks. The air was thick with the crackling aura of lightning, as though even the air itself were trembling.
Every clash between Su Li and the Thunder Emperor came with thunderous booms. Each collision seemed capable of rocking the entire arena, and their figures flashed through the lightning so quickly that all anyone could see were blurred shadows.
"Samsara Dharma Body!"
Chaos qi swirled around Su Li, cloaking his entire body like a dense fog.
Within that chaos qi, his Dharma Body gradually took shape—a towering figure so immense it seemed like a mountain rising into the heavens.
The Dharma Body glimmered faintly from head to toe, exuding an air of mystery and majesty.
Its face was identical to Su Li's, yet somehow deeper and more imposing. It seemed to contain boundless power, making it impossible to look directly at.
Su Li's Dharma Body moved slowly through the chaos qi. Each step made the ground tremble faintly, and its deep-set eyes fixed on the Thunder Emperor as if they could see through every illusion and lay bare the truth.
The enormous Dharma Body stood out strikingly on the battlefield, like a towering mountain in motion.
It swung its colossal weapon, each attack carrying peerless power and majesty, as if it would destroy the entire world.
Around the Dharma Body, chaos qi churned ceaselessly like raging waves.
The chaos qi condensed into all manner of shapes in the air. At times it resembled a giant dragon circling overhead; at others, a phoenix reborn amid raging flames.
The phantoms formed from the chaos qi were dazzling to behold, as though one had been transported to a mysterious world brimming with power.
The Thunder Pool above the Thunder Emperor's head erupted into a frenzy. Countless terrifying bolts of lightning burst from it, streaking across the sky like flashes of lightning before crashing down on Su Li's Dharma Body.
These bolts carried the power to destroy everything, as if they meant to obliterate Su Li's Dharma Body completely.
Faced with the Thunder Emperor's assault, Su Li's Dharma Body did not retreat. It endured the terrifying lightning head-on with its formidable defenses.
A layer of chaos qi coiled around the Dharma Body, forming an indestructible barrier that neutralized the lightning's power, one strike after another.
The Thunder Emperor's attacks were devastatingly powerful. Every bolt of lightning carried the force to destroy everything.
Those bolts seemed to gather the raging power of heaven and earth, hurtling toward Su Li's Dharma Body with unparalleled destructive force.
When they struck the chaos qi around the Dharma Body, it was like boulders plunging into a lake, sending ripples spreading in every direction.
The chaos qi churned violently, as though it would swallow the lightning whole. Yet even with all its power, it still struggled under the Thunder Emperor's attacks.
Every collision made the entire arena feel as if it had been struck by an earthquake.
Powerful shock waves swept outward, making the surrounding air hum. The ground shook violently, as if it were about to split apart, and everyone wondered whether the entire Martial Arena could withstand such force.
In the midst of the fierce battle, the Thunder Emperor's attacks seemed to become a symphony of destruction, filling those who heard it with boundless fear.
The bolts of lightning shrieked as they repeatedly slammed into the chaos qi around the Dharma Body, but they could never pierce that mysterious defense.
"What terrifying defenses." The Thunder Emperor stared at the Dharma Body, a flicker of surprise in his eyes.
He had never imagined that his attacks would be stopped by a Dharma Body that looked so ordinary.
The Thunder Emperor's attacks were fierce and terrifying. Every bolt of lightning seemed to contain the power of heaven and earth, imbued with matchless authority.
His attacks were like unstoppable lightning bolts, ripping through the void and striking straight at the Dharma Body.
Yet when these powerful attacks touched the Dharma Body, they were all deflected, as though they were utterly powerless against the chaos qi.
"Thunder Emperor, I'll suppress you." Su Li's voice emerged from the Dharma Body, calm and casual yet thunderous, as if it could shake heaven and earth.
His words carried boundless majesty and dominance, and an invisible force seemed to spread across the entire arena.
The voice held an iron will and unshakable resolve, as if it would suppress the Thunder Emperor once and for all.
As the words echoed, the entire arena seemed to fall silent.
The Thunder Emperor felt an intense threat from Su Li's Dharma Body—and from those earth-shaking words.
"This ends now."
Su Li spoke softly. Suddenly, the enormous Dharma Body blazed with dazzling golden light. A sacred radiance descended from the heavens like a divine blessing, falling over its form.
The golden light shimmered brilliantly, too dazzling to look at.
The Dharma Body seemed bathed in sacred splendor, exuding peerless majesty.
At the same time, visions sprang into being all around them: divine beasts roared, lotuses bloomed, and golden dragons coiled through the air. Every scene brimmed with overwhelming might.
Under that mighty pressure, the Thunder Emperor looked utterly disheveled. He struggled against the crushing force, trying to keep his composure.
Yet faced with the sacred golden light and the powerful visions emanating from Su Li's Dharma Body, he had to admit the gap between their strength.
Amid the brilliant golden light and endless visions, the Thunder Emperor felt as though he had fallen into an endless abyss.
The sacred golden light and those visions formed a tremendous force that swallowed him whole.
The Thunder Emperor struggled to break free of that invisible restraint, but his body would not move an inch.
Under the pressure of the sacred radiance, his power felt insignificant. He could not move.
At that moment, Su Li casually raised a hand, and an invisible force spread out in an instant.
The force was powerful and mysterious, as if it came from the very source of heaven and earth. Under its suppression, the Thunder Emperor could not move; even struggling was beyond him.
The Thunder Emperor was terrified. He had never faced such a powerful opponent. Su Li's Dharma Body had displayed peerless strength and might, placing him under more pressure than he had ever felt before.
Outside the arena, the many prodigies and the Immortal Kings whose phantoms had descended were all taken by surprise.
They had expected the battle between the Thunder Emperor and Su Li to last much longer, but who could have guessed it would suddenly take such a turn?
The Thunder Emperor had been suppressed by Su Li's Dharma Body. The sight shocked everyone, and they stared at what was happening in the arena, unable to understand it for a moment.
The Thunder Emperor was a prodigy renowned throughout the cultivation world for his thunderous methods.
His attacks were swift and fierce, as heart-shaking as thunder, and his power left everyone in awe.
Yet today's battle had gone against all expectations.
The Thunder Emperor and Su Li had been evenly matched, each attack fraught with danger and deadly intent.
Then, without warning, the Thunder Emperor was suppressed by Su Li's Dharma Body and left unable to move.
