At this moment, lightning flashed wildly atop the twelve Mysterious Thunder Pillars once more, and bolts of terrifying Punishment Thunder began shooting forth.
The Punishment Thunder was now greatly enhanced in power. Every bolt posed no small threat to Nascent Soul Cultivators, and they were being unleashed much faster as well.
The blue Thunder Phoenix flashed frantically through the rain-like Punishment Thunder. It even shrank itself to only a few feet in size, looking utterly bedraggled.
Ning Fa, who had already merged into the Divine Firmament Manifestation, suddenly understood.
This woman's Lightning Escape divine ability could likely only be used with great difficulty after she activated her spiritual body, and its limitations were immense.
Whether in the distance of her Lightning Escape or its interval, she was far inferior to him. That was why she was in such a sorry state now, and it seemed she could no longer use it.
Just then, an enraged shriek rang out.
The Thunder Phoenix folded its wings around itself, then abruptly spread them. Endless blue lightning erupted, and the Thunder Chains and Punishment Thunder surging in from all around exploded with a crash.
Then it threw back its head and shrieked. A deep rumble of thunder immediately sounded through the air, and the thunderstorm that was still pouring down wildly seemed to gather together under some inexplicable force.
A massive spirit bird swiftly took shape amid the dense lightning.
This woman was clearly about to risk her life and unleash a life-preserving divine ability.
But the Divine Firmament Manifestation opened its right hand, and the Heaven-Shattering Sword flew back once more, shifting into the form of the Geng Metal Sword.
White arcs of lightning flashed wildly as the sword body expanded again, reaching a massive thirty feet in length.
"White Emperor Mountain Cleaver!"
