This bolt of Heavenly Thunder had not been condensed through Xu Changxing's Daoist Arts. Rather, he had used the power of the Heavenly Dao Painting to focus the Immortal Realm's Great Dao's perception around Patriarch Tian Ge.
As long as Patriarch Tian Ge dared release his own Daoist Arts, he would instantly provoke a counterattack from the Immortal Realm's Great Dao.
Although Patriarch Tian Ge had not known the Heavenly Dao Painting possessed this ability, he had been guarding against something similar all along.
Had he been facing an opponent of the same realm, he would certainly have been more careful.
Yet Xu Changxing had displayed only the Taiyi Realm from beginning to end, inevitably causing him to feel somewhat dismissive.
Even so, he had restrained himself throughout, using only the Laws within the Abyss to contend with Xu Changxing.
If something had not gone wrong on Immortal Lord Jiuxu's side, he still would not have revealed his true Daoist Arts.
Unfortunately, he had exposed an opening in the end.
Xu Changxing seized that opening immediately and called down Thunder Punishment.
As he invoked the Heavenly Thunder, he also activated the Heavenly Dao Painting's power, condensing a Laws Storm.
Before Patriarch Tian Ge could recover from the Thunder Punishment that had thrown his Daoist Arts into disarray, the Laws Storm engulfed him.
Within this Laws Storm, Space-Time fell into chaos, and Life and Death were inverted.
Patriarch Tian Ge's pupils abruptly contracted. He forcibly drew out a sliver of magical power amid the Thunder Punishment, suppressing Space-Time within several yards to keep the ruptured Space-Time from slicing him apart.
Yet drawing out this much magical power amid the Thunder Punishment was already his limit. He had none left to resist the chaotic Life and Death Great Dao surrounding him.
