Lulana's Shock

Except for those ancient deities or those who rarely venture out, one must remember that the Saiyans were once notorious for their savagery, bloodlust, and bellicosity.

"How bold. A mere human dares to address this deity by name? Saiyans are indeed Saiyans; you are truly far more barbaric than other humans."

West Supreme Kai Lulana looked at Lei Chen with a face full of disdain. Through her perception, she naturally sensed that Lei Chen's current base combat power was a little over thirty billion.

To her, while thirty billion might be the highest combat power she had ever seen in a Saiyan, it was nothing worth mentioning.

Even if he were to transform into a Great Ape, she would not hold him in any regard.

Lei Chen frowned. He did not know why this Supreme Kai was using such a tone with him, but he believed in reciprocating: if you respect me a foot, I shall respect you a yard; if you treat me this way, I naturally will not be polite to you either.

Perhaps other Saiyans have offended you, but what does that have to do with me!

"Hmph, you lack the power of a god, yet you possess the temperament of one!"

Lei Chen's expression slowly turned cold as he spoke icily to Lulana.

"You seek death!"

Hearing Lei Chen's contemptuous words, Lulana flew into a rage. She raised her right hand, extended a finger, and fired a blue energy beam toward Lei Chen.

"Hmph!"

Lei Chen let out a cold snort. He did not even dodge, simply swatting the finger beam away with a casual flick. Although Lei Chen had not transformed and his base power was only thirty billion, he could erupt with dozens of times that power at any moment.

Take Vegeta or Son Goku, for instance; when they are beaten back to their base forms, their power drops by hundreds of times, yet they are still able to trade blows with their opponents.

Just like when Vegeta fought Majin Buu—even after being knocked out of Super Saiyan 2 and having his power weakened a hundredfold, he could still exchange blows with Majin Buu without being instantly defeated.

Not transforming into a Super Saiyan does not mean one cannot utilize Super Saiyan power. The difference is that one can freely tap into fifty times their base power at will, while the other must rely on explosive bursts when launching an attack.

"This..."

Lulana looked at Lei Chen in astonishment. If Lei Chen had dodged her energy blast, she wouldn't have been surprised, but the fact that he could casually swat it away made her feel it was inconceivable.

One must know that Lei Chen only had a combat power of thirty billion, while she possessed over a trillion. Even a casual energy blast from her should not have been something Lei Chen could block; even a human with a combat power exceeding a hundred billion would not be able to withstand a casual blast from her.

Thinking of this, Lulana refused to believe Lei Chen could truly swat away her energy blast so easily. A white light appeared in her palm, and a white energy sphere the size of a basketball gathered in her right hand.

The next moment, Lulana immediately hurled the energy sphere from her right hand.

This time, the energy blast Lulana threw was several times more powerful than the previous one. Now, let alone a human with thirty billion power, even a human with three hundred billion combat power would be left crippled, if not dead, if struck by it.

Lei Chen watched the energy blast hurtling toward him. The moment it approached, it instantly expanded into a giant energy sphere a hundred meters in size.

This time, Lei Chen was truly incensed. You really don't know when to quit. Do you really think I'm easy to bully? If you weren't a Supreme Kai, you would already be dead the moment you took the initiative to attack me.

Seeing the energy blast closing in, a brilliant golden radiance erupted from Lei Chen's body. His entire being was wreathed in golden lightning, his hair stood on end, becoming stiff and dense, and arcs of electricity flickered incessantly around him. His combat power surged instantly to three trillion.

BOOM!

Almost simultaneously, Lulana's energy blast struck Lei Chen. A pillar of white light shot into the sky, the immense energy generating endless wind pressure that swept across a hundred-meter radius.

A massive cloud of white smoke appeared in the sky for several kilometers around.

"How is this possible!"

"What... what a powerful aura!"

Lulana looked at the golden figure within the white smoke with a face full of shock, sensing that Lei Chen's combat power at this moment had directly surpassed her own—and by no small margin.

"This aura intensity has already reached three trillion? How is this possible? And the aura is still rising!"

Lulana felt a terrifying gaze locking onto her, and her elegant, purple-hued face turned pale in an instant.

Slowly, Lei Chen's cold, stern face appeared before Lulana. His long, spiked black hair had turned golden, his aura was golden, and he wore white armor over a blue bodysuit, with a golden tail swaying at his waist.

Soon, before Lulana's eyes, Lei Chen's hair began to grow longer and longer, and his aura became even more formidable.

The hair quickly grew past his tail, his eyebrows vanished, a deep blue pupil appeared within his irises, and the lightning around him became even denser.

Invisible ripples radiated outward, causing the space in the sky to twist and distort.

Sshhh— The golden radiance instantly tore through the surrounding space.

At this moment, Lei Chen's combat power had reached twelve trillion.

Snap.

As all the pressure Lei Chen exerted descended upon her, Lulana finally could not hold on and dropped to a half-kneel on the ground.

The pressure, more than ten times her own, made Lulana feel as if a mountain the size of a planet was pressing down on her shoulders, as if the entire heavens and earth were suppressing her.

"Pfft!"

Lulana spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot. Just as she thought she was about to become the first Supreme Kai in history to be killed by a human, she suddenly felt the immense pressure on her body lighten.

Lei Chen's voice reached her ears.

"For Beerus's sake, I will not kill you."

"A final warning: stop looking down on humans. You should know that there are quite a few humans in this universe who are even more powerful than gods."

As his words fell, Lei Chen swept his hand, and a massive gust of wind instantly carried Lulana away.

In an unknown corner of the Sky Blue Planet, a figure descended from the sky.

"How is this possible? How could this universe possess such a powerful human? A golden-haired Saiyan... could the legends be true? Even if a Super Saiyan were as formidable as the myths claim, it shouldn't be possible to reach this level of strength."

After landing, Lulana stared in utter disbelief toward the direction where Lei Chen stood.

"Beerus? He just mentioned Beerus. Does this human actually know Lord Beerus, the God of Destruction?"

At this thought, Lulana let out a bitter, wry smile.
