The sun sank in the west...
"Roooar!"
"Roooar!"
Two long cries, sounding both human and draconic, rang throughout the Soul Fighting Plaza amid peals of thunder.
At the very rear of the eastern half, Xu Zi's purple eyes sharpened. A serious look appeared on his face as he said, "Dragon... transformation?"
"Finally... it's about to begin."
As he spoke, he glanced imperceptibly up at the sky, taking in everything behind the Purple Sun...
Blue arcs of electricity ran rampant on the right side of the Heaven Thunder Team's midfield.
Lightning blazed from Yu Tianheng's blue eyes. Amid the crackling of blue electricity, a layer of blue scales swiftly emerged on the backs of both hands, rapidly climbing toward his elbows, arms, and shoulders.
It was none other than the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect's closely guarded secret technique: Dragon Transformation!
Yet at the same time...
A swath of blue-violet electrical arcs erupted on the left side of the Heaven Thunder Team's midfield.
Dragon scales emerged across Yu Tianxin's hands, blue and violet intermingled. As the scales covered his arms and climbed onto his shoulders, more and more violet scales appeared among the blue.
Surprise flashed through Xu Zi's eyes. He had felt a trace of familiarity even from far away, so his body instinctively leaned forward.
Only after a good while did Xu Zi come to his senses and murmur, "I was wondering how, when you only founded an Earth Dragon Sect, one of your descendants could turn out to be a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Soul Master who cultivated the power of destruction."
"So it was you. You actually carried a trace of the Purple Brilliant Heaven Destroying Dragon's bloodline!"
Indeed, the book had mentioned that Yu Tianxin's own circumstances had caused a Martial Soul mutation, making his blue-violet lightning far weaker than Yu Tianheng's.
Moreover, as his cultivation progressed, his younger cousin gradually left him behind.
Sensing the faint, elusive bloodline connection with himself, Xu Zi said in realization, "Then it's no wonder. No wonder at all."
As the common ancestor of lesser dragons, the Purple Brilliant Heaven Destroying Dragon's bloodline branches would surely include a lightning lineage. After all, ten thousand years later, Xu Tianran's summoning of his Martial Soul would be accompanied by vast amounts of violet lightning.
Thus, it made sense that Yu Tianxin, the Earth Dragon Sect's founding ancestor, possessed a trace of the Purple Brilliant Heaven Destroying Dragon's bloodline.
Of course, this was hardly rare within the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect. After all, even Yu Xiaogang, universally acknowledged as trash, possessed a strain of the Light Dragon Clan's bloodline and could awaken a Holy Dragon through a Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
This also indirectly showed that the bloodlines inherited by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect's members were truly incomparably complex, actually including those of the Thunder Dragon Clan, Fire Dragon Clan, Light Dragon Clan, Purple Brilliant Heaven Destroying Dragon, and more.
The view returned to the Heaven Thunder Team's formation.
The Blue Lightning Twin Stars' Dragon Transformation finished at the fourth second.
Two clusters of electrical arcs, one deep blue and the other violet-blue, abruptly contracted.
Two deep, weighty waves of draconic might slowly spread along the ground.
Rrrr...
Shi Xing had not been idle during those four seconds of Dragon Transformation. In the blink of an eye, he charged toward the rear line where Dugu Yan and Lei Dong stood, like a humanoid lion about to begin a slaughter.
Wreathed in flames, he pierced through the poisonous mist Dugu Yan spewed, weathered a palm bolt from Lei Dong, then slammed down like a fireball.
Just as the Heaven Thunder Team's two Control System members, whose influence extended across the entire battlefield, were about to be eliminated beneath the lion's flaming claws...
Two whooshes cut through the air, immediately followed by two thudding collisions.
Shi Xing was knocked back by a "blue lightning flying dragon."
Yu Tianxin, too, finally came charging back just as Dugu Yan fell and the Shi brothers were about to buckle, bearing his third Soul Skill and riding his fourth.
A dull boom sounded, like spring thunder falling hoarsely to the ground.
Tuoba She and Huang Su faltered, their elbows going numb as static visibly coursed across the surfaces of their arms.
The Dragon Pattern Staves swung down by the three brothers were repelled by bolts of lightning; without using Soul Skills, they could inflict no damage at all.
After completing his Dragon Transformation, Yu Tianxin, bolstered by both snake venom and the electrical web, led the Shi brothers on either side of him, once again matching the Spirit Hall Second Team's five with their three.
On the other side, after Yu Tianheng's Dragon Transformation, every move became incomparably fierce. Protected by dragon scales, his hands and arms no longer feared the searing flames.
Even with the sun's enhancement, Shi Xing was driven back again and again. The surfaces of his fists and feet had even begun to feel numb from the electric shocks.
Yet in the eastern half, as Xu Zi watched his side fall into a disadvantage from afar, he showed no worry. Instead, a smile appeared on his face:
"It's time."
His bright purple eyes reflected Lei Dong and Dugu Yan, now left unprotected.
Without those two providing enhancements and interference, the Heaven Thunder Team's three frontliners would not last even four seconds before the Spirit Hall Second Team knocked them down and trampled over them.
However, the Purple Sun's impact was not a Soul Skill and could not sweep through everything like splitting bamboo. Previously, the Shi brothers' protection had also stood in its way, which was why it had remained suspended without falling.
But now that protection was gone.
Above the two opposing sides, the suspended Purple Sun suddenly burst with a hundred zhang of radiant light.
Under the blazing purple light, everyone suddenly felt their surroundings grow dry and hot. Even the air they drew into their lungs became scalding.
The faint threads of static in the air were completely neutralized by those hundred zhang of purple light.
The next instant, that brilliant Purple Sun plunged straight down, roaring toward Dugu Yan and Lei Dong diagonally below.
To withstand the offensive, Dugu Yan had just exhausted her Soul Power and the snake venom generated by her Martial Soul; Lei Dong, meanwhile, had to divide his attention between enhancing the Blue Lightning Twin Stars and disrupting and numbing the Spirit Hall Second Team's six members.
If not now, when?
Just as the Purple Sun's outline came within a few meters of the ground, with victory within the Spirit Hall Second Team's reach.
Suddenly, Lei Dong, who had long been crouching below, revealed a sly smile. "Finally... you took the bait."
The enemy wanted to eliminate their back line at every moment, but they, too-had been plotting around that very issue all along.
Just as the Purple Sun began to fall.
Where it had hovered moments before, the hazy purple radiance dispersed entirely, revealing a human figure above the Purple Sun, limbs drawn in and curled into an embryonic posture.
It was none other than the rank 43 Thunder Eagle Soul Ancestor, Lei Tian, who had left the field at some unknown point and had not shown himself since.
Now, he stretched out a pair of eagle talons and beat his lightning wings, also saying slowly, "Yes, it's time."
As it turned out, when Dugu Yan released her purple-yellow poison barrier, he had already flown into the sky under cover of the poisonous mist and hidden behind the Purple Sun.
No matter how dire the situation below became, he had remained unmoved, all for this very moment.
"Heavenly Net Thunder Web!" Lei Dong suddenly shouted. His fourth Soul Ring, which he had never used, shone with its long-absent purple light.
He crouched on the ground. When the Purple Sun's outline was less than three meters from his forehead, the electrical web formation on the ground suddenly split in two and shot into the air.
The electrical web on the ground weakened greatly, but the Purple Sun overhead was ensnared in a lightning spiderweb, unable to move for the moment.
"Haha! You fell for it!"
Lei Dong cried out, "Lei Tian, his Martial Soul is restrained! Now!"
Before he finished speaking, the Thunder Eagle Soul Master in the sky had already turned into a streak of blue lightning and plunged violently toward Xu Zi.
A pair of eagle talons flexed open, swooshing right up to Xu Zi.
