"Damn it, I fell for it!" Hearing Qingxuan say this, Xiao Hua's heart sank. He felt that he had tried to be clever only to make a mess of things.
The clumps of blood light Qingxuan spat out were unlike before. The instant they fell into midair, they transformed into blood shadows that rushed into the black flames scattered by the heavenly lightning. The black flames immediately ceased flowing and took on all manner of strange shapes—some like demonic beasts, some like Demonic beings—covering the black flames!
"Kill!" Curious, Xiao Hua waved both hands, sending dozens, then over a hundred bolts of heavenly lightning crashing down upon the black flames. The various protrusions on the black flames met the lightning first. Beneath the lightning's radiance, they were instantly shaved flat, and countless golden sparks of lightning spread across the collapsed areas. "Swish, swish, swish—" At the very moment the lightning struck the black flames, blood threads resembling lightning shot outward from within those collapsed areas!
Countless crackling sounds rang out from all around the black flames. The power of the heavenly lightning was actually corroded by those blood threads, melting away and vanishing within moments!
"Hiss—" Xiao Hua could not help drawing a cold breath, staring in astonishment at those bizarre blood threads. He understood that before the lightning tribulation, it would have been perfectly reasonable for Qingxuan to break his lightning, and he would not have found it surprising. But after the lightning tribulation, his Golden Core contained the inner cores of the male and mother Thunder Beasts, and his Thunder Control Technique had undergone a fundamental leap. The power of his heavenly lightning was now several times stronger than before! Even his own flesh felt somewhat numb and tingly—precisely the backlash of heavenly lightning Qingxuan had spoken of!
