"What is this..."
Everyone who felt that aura, whether from the righteous path or the Demon Sect, instinctively stopped what they were doing and stared in shock at the young man holding the gourd.
They had no idea what was happening.
But they could all feel it: a terrifying power capable of making their souls tremble was awakening.
"Thunder!"
Li Xiaoyu softly uttered a single word.
He thought of the Seven Meridians Martial Arts Tournament, when Lu Xueqi had used the Divine Sword Thunder Control Technique, summoning the majestic heavenly might of the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder.
Back then, although the Immortal-Slaying Gourd had not directly devoured that Thunder Power, it had deeply imprinted its aura into its very essence.
Later, through his cultivation and insights, Li Xiaoyu discovered that the Immortal-Slaying Gourd could actually imitate that power.
It could release the vast spiritual energy it had devoured in the form of thunder.
Though it was not truly the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder, its might was still enough to shake heaven and earth.
This was the new divine ability born after the Immortal-Slaying Gourd devoured the Red Flame Crystal and first awakened its power to transform the spiritual energy of all things.
As Li Xiaoyu uttered the word "thunder,"
a blinding purple light suddenly burst from the mouth of the Immortal-Slaying Gourd.
The next moment, a vast web of lightning made up of purple electric serpents surged out of the gourd!
The lightning web expanded with the wind, spreading in an instant to cover an area hundreds of zhang wide and shrouding the entire sky before Jade Purity Hall.
"Crackle—crackle—"
Electricity flickered across the web, making a sound that set one's teeth on edge.
The air filled with the smell of burning.
The smug, arrogant expressions of every Demon Sect
