The instant the Thunder Dragon swallowed Gu Hong, the entire Starfield dimmed.
Every Immortal King stared wide-eyed into the depths of the void.
The aura of that Sword Dao Immortal Emperor was weakening at a visible rate.
"ROAR!!!"
The Thunder Dragon writhed in the void, purple lightning cascading like a waterfall, locking Gu Hong firmly within.
Gu Hong desperately circulated his Sword Dao Laws. The Heavenly Saint Sword trembled madly, trying to break free.
But it was no use.
The lightning seemed to have a will of its own. Bolt after bolt cleaved through his sword light, shredded his defenses, and struck directly at his Origin Source.
"What in the world is this?!"
Before Gu Hong finished speaking, his expression changed drastically.
He had sensed something within that lightning.
It was...
The aura of Heavenly Punishment.
The Heavenly Punishment that appeared only when the Heavenly Dao descended during a cultivator's Tribulation Transcendence!
He abruptly raised his head and looked toward the immense figure at the far end of the void.
This man actually commands two kinds of "Dao"?!
But reality gave him no time to think.
Crack!
A crisp sound rang out.
Gu Hong looked down and saw a crack appear in the blade of the Heavenly Saint Sword in his hand.
His pupils contracted. How is that possible?!
The cracks spread.
One, two, three...
BOOM!!!
The Heavenly Saint Sword snapped in two.
Its sword light dimmed.
Its Sword Intent scattered.
The might of the Imperial Armament vanished entirely.
The Heavenly Saint Sword's final flash of sword light before it shattered blocked the deadliest blow for Gu Hong.
But the Thunder Dragon still lunged at him!
Gu Hong resisted with all his strength, but it was already too late.
Squelch!
The Thunder Dragon clamped its jaws around his left arm!
