Golden thunder blazed like the sudden dawning of heavenly light, illuminating the Great Void.
Even protected by layer upon layer of incense offerings golden qi, the heavenly soldiers and generals trembled beneath the might of this sword strike. All lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at it.
Xu Xuan, however, stared in a daze. He could hardly describe the magnificent splendor of that strike. This was true heavenly might, capable of burning mountains and boiling seas with a single thought.
Golden blood began seeping from his eyes, yet he remained oblivious, still immersed in the lingering resonance of that strike. Thunderlight surged through his pupils before they exploded with a boom, leaving only two bloody sockets.
His blood qi surged, slowly repairing his flesh. His mind seethed with excitement as he asked inwardly:
"Could I ever unleash a strike like that?"
"He borrowed the might of a magical treasure, but he himself is extraordinary too, with an exceedingly deep connection to the Divine Thunder Dao Fruit. That strike... could be called the pinnacle of Divine Thunder in this age."
Tiantuo sounded somewhat moved, but then his tone shifted:
"Still, if you reached the Purple Mansion realm, your sword strike could likewise be called the pinnacle of Altar Thunder in this age. I don't think you would fall far short of him. Of course, Kunlun's Qilin doesn't count."
Xu Xuan was still savoring the spiritual resonance of that strike, but he found it vaguely familiar. Silently recalling the [Tribulation-Slaying Sword Canon], he realized it was one of the sword techniques recorded within.
"[Yang Thunder’s Mystic Zenith]: establish and align the Celestial Pivot, transform Yang Thunder into the sun, receive 'clear qi' below and connect to 'victory gold' above, combining Sword Intent into the pivot..."
