Rumble!
The instant the Thunder Tower flew from Xuan Lei's palm, it swelled into a tower over a hundred yards tall.
Lightning danced across it. Countless bolts poured from the tower, as though they would pin everyone beneath it.
"Not good!"
Shi Kulou's expression changed sharply. He recognized the pagoda at a glance: it was the Xuan Lei Clan's Supreme Profound True Thunder Pagoda, another Supreme Great Dao True Treasure.
And with a Dao-Proving Realm expert driving it at full strength, its might was terrifying.
"Immortal-Smiting Iron!"
Lu Ren shouted and swept out his hand.
Hum!
The Immortal-Smiting Iron flew from his body. The tortoise markings on its back expanded into a massive shell, which slammed head-on into the descending Supreme Profound True Thunder Pagoda.
Boom!
The void shook violently. Lightning scattered in every direction, blasting Lu Ren and the others away.
If Shi Kulou had not intervened, many of the weaker cultivators among them would have been wiped out by that lightning in an instant.
"Run!"
Lu Ren roared and fled into the distance.
By then, the experts of the Xuan Lei Clan, Crimson Sun Clan, and Blackwater Clan had recovered their senses and lunged after them.
"Myriad Weapons Slaying the Dao!"
Lu Ren's face grew paler still. Fighting through the weakness in his soul, he swept out his hand.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Over a hundred Great Dao True Weapons surged out to either side, forcing back every expert who had leaped toward them.
But at that moment, Cang Xuanming charged forward with the Dao-Severing Brush in hand. Its tip flashed like a river of stars hanging upside down, descending from the heavens to slash at Lu Ren and the others.
Shi Kulou swung his blade to block it, but the shockwave from the collision sent the experts
