Even Zhou Yuan and the others were caught off guard.
As soon as Han Xuanji stepped across the threshold into the main hall, several powerful Divine Sense, like venomous snakes, pounced from the four corners of the hall simultaneously, carrying undisguised killing intent, attempting to crush him with their aura.
If it were an ordinary Eternal True Lord, being simultaneously pressured by these five auras would likely cause his mind to waver and him to feel immense pressure.
However, Han Xuanji simply treated it as a breeze blowing through the room, without even flinching.
His gaze calmly swept across the depths of the hall, taking in the figures of the five people.
The interior space was more spacious than it appeared from the outside. The walls were covered with densely packed lightning patterns, and a lightning dragon statue floated above the dome, its eyes slowly rotating, with electric snakes constantly emerging from them and flowing down along the lightning patterns on the walls. The entire hall was shrouded in a chilling and ominous aura.
Wan Kun and two others stood guard on either side, while Liu Wanxu stood directly below the statue.
Chi Yuan stood directly opposite the palace gate, his moon-white robe spotless in the lightning flashes, his eyes as cold as frosted blades, his killing intent toward Han Xuanji undisguised.
"You actually dared to come in."
Chi Yuan sneered.
He didn't say anything more, raised his right hand, and made a grabbing motion in the air with his five fingers.
Countless bolts of lightning erupted from his palm, and ten thousand purple-gold lightning bolts converged on his palm like a hundred birds paying homage to a phoenix. In the next instant, they condensed into a huge thunderous palm print, which slammed down on Han Xuanji with the force to destroy the heavens and the earth.
This palm strike was incredibly powerful. Wherever the palm print passed, the air was scorched and distorted by the lightning, and all the Thunder Spiritual Qi permeating the hall was sucked away.
"It's the Heaven-Controlling Thunder Palm!"
Li Fu had just stepped into the palace when he saw this scene, and his pupils suddenly contracted.
The Heaven-Controlling Thunder Palm, one of the signature techniques of the Saint Venerable Haoxuan, uses the Thunder Principle as a guide to fuse dominance and destruction into one. Legend has it that when mastered, it can destroy an entire region with a single palm strike.
Having traveled the Ten Directions Sacred Domain for many years, he had long heard of Chi Yuan's unique skill. Even just by looking at it, he could feel the destructive power contained in the palm print.
"If the sect leader's move were used outside, its power would probably be ten times stronger!"
Wan Kun said in a low voice, his eyes filled with admiration.
Liu Wanxu stood at a distance, watching the sky filled with lightning, a cold smile appearing on his lips:
"Is Han Xuanji so reckless that he really thinks he's invincible?"
"Haha, no matter how strong Han Xuanji is, he's not very bright!"
"The guild leader hasn't gone all out in a long time. In the past, we only needed to make a move. This time, we might witness a battle of epic proportions."
Several members of the Ten Thousand Immortals Association were discussing the matter animatedly.
These individuals are all top-tier geniuses in the outside world, and their willingness to follow Chi Yuan speaks volumes.
Of course, they now place Han Xuanji on par with Chi Yuan.
Countless bolts of lightning accompanied the palm print as they hurtled towards Han Xuanji.
The lightning was so condensed that, from a distance, Han Xuanji appeared to have been engulfed by it.
Buzz!
Han Xuanji stood still, neither dodging nor avoiding, staring straight at the massive, thunderous palm that pressed down with immense force, lost in thought.
After absorbing the insights from the Great Dao of Thunder, a strange evaluation inexplicably formed in his mind regarding Chi Yuan's move.
"It's just so-so..."
Han Xuanji unleashed a punch, simple and unadorned, its force crushing the Heaven-Controlling Thunder Palm like a devastating force. The remaining force of the punch, carrying its lingering power, hurtled straight towards Chi Yuan's face.
Chi Yuan's pupils contracted slightly, and a flash of lightning struck his feet as he slid several feet to the side to barely avoid the attack.
But the force of the punch still grazed his shoulder, tearing a half-foot-long gash in his moon-white robe sleeve, with a few shreds of cloth scattering in the lightning.
The hall was deathly silent.
Wan Kun was shocked; he hadn't expected such an outcome.
This is Chi Yuan!
Taking the initiative not only failed to harm Han Xuanji, but also resulted in him gaining nothing!
Liu Wanxu frowned slightly. Although he had long known that Han Xuanji was incredibly strong, Chi Yuan's attack, though not a full-force strike, had still used his true abilities, and Han Xuanji had easily neutralized it.
This thing is definitely open!
"Again!"
Chi Yuan's tone became more serious, feeling that Han Xuanji's strength was even more terrifying than described in the intelligence, but he still took a step forward and pushed out with both palms.
A gigantic beast phantom vaguely appeared behind him. The beast was enormous, resembling a bull without horns, and its entire body was azure. Although it was just a phantom of a Kui Ox, its domineering aura made everyone present's hearts pound wildly.
It's no exaggeration to say that even the Thunder Dragon, the guardian deity of the Thunder World, is like a small snake in front of this Kui Ox!
roar!
A deafening roar erupted.
Thousands of lightning bolts transformed into a gigantic phantom, its massive body rampaging through the air with earth-shattering force as it hurtled towards Han Xuanji.
Wherever the phantom of the Kui Ox passed, the air was scorched, and the temperature rose to a terrifying level.
With such intense fighting, Li Fu and the others could only watch and watch, not daring to intervene rashly.
Facing the roaring Kui Ox, Han Xuanji did not underestimate it. He pushed his Cultivation Method to its limit, and his aura surged.
At this moment, the boundless vital Qi and Blood and the Mystic Heaven essence merged into one.
" Great Heaven Creation Palm!"
The power contained in this palm strike had transcended its original constraints, possessing True Intention unique to Han Xuanji.
The Dao of Thunder, the Dao of Yin and Yang, the Dao of Creation...
The sky was filled with lightning, like rivers flowing into the sea, which was perfectly neutralized by this palm strike. The phantom of the Kui Ox struggled within the palm strike, but could not break free of its restraints.
"This?!"
The onlookers couldn't help but gasp in surprise.
The four experts of the Ten Thousand Immortals Association were startled.
Liu Wanxu's expression changed drastically; it was the first time he had ever seen someone so easily defuse Chi Yuan's fierce attack.
This is something unheard of in the outside world.
Could it be that Han Xuanji is truly an even more powerful prodigy than Chi Yuan?
Chi Yuan slowly stopped, looked down at the wound on his shoulder, and the coldness deep in his pupils almost solidified.
He stared intently at Han Xuanji and said, word by word:
"No wonder Wang Jue and the others were no match for you, Han Xuanji, you've been hiding your true strength well."
"I never hid it."
Han Xuanji responded calmly, glancing at the flowing lightning patterns on the walls of the hall, and suddenly spoke:
"However, I didn't expect that the renowned Master of the Myriad Ten Thousand Immortals Association would only possess this level of strength."
Chi Yuan's pupils constricted sharply, his heart filled with boundless rage.
How dare you?
Kill him!
Chi Yuan shouted, no longer caring about testing, and activated the grand formation and restrictions that had been set up in the main hall. The entire hall trembled at that moment.
