With Jian Shang's current cultivation and strength, temporary though they were, he was powerful enough to shatter the void and ascend to immortality. However, the forces of the Upper Realm had jointly sealed off this world, effectively imprisoning every living being within it. Without an immortal guide, ascension was out of the question. Shattering the void any number of times would do no good!
His only path had been severed!
"Suppress!"
In his haste, unable to think of any other solution, he could only protect himself first.
Great terror lay between life and death. To preserve his life, Jian Shang could no longer worry about using Heavenly Punishment Lightning to annihilate the enemy. He summoned the Eastern Sovereign Bell, which became a hundred-meter-tall bell floating overhead, shielding him completely.
Clang, clang, clang...
Heavenly Punishment Lightning crashed down, becoming a dazzling ball of lightning hundreds of meters across that enveloped the Eastern Sovereign Bell...
An unbroken peal of bells echoed across the battlefield and lingered between heaven and earth. Terrifying sound waves visible to the naked eye rippled outward in every direction, like ocean waves that swallowed everything.
Crackle...
Wherever the terrifying sound waves swept, living beings, undead, buildings, divine cities, flowers, grass, trees-everything shattered and disintegrated into dust, as effortlessly as crushing rotten wood and withered stalks.
This was a clash between Heavenly Punishment Lightning and the Eastern Sovereign Bell, foremost among the eternal supreme treasures.
The terrifying waves of sound unleashed by their clash were inconceivably powerful, countless times stronger than anything Jian Shang himself could produce.
A hundred meters...
Eighty meters...
Fifty meters...
Enveloped by the dazzling ball of lightning, the hundred-meter Eastern Sovereign Bell kept shrinking rapidly, its height plummeting.
After several dozen breaths, the raging ball of lightning finally dissolved into a dazzling radiance and dispersed.
