As Lei Jian watched the black thunderclouds rapidly condensing in the sky and expanding to a full kilometer in length, a murderous glint flashed in his eyes once more.
Having witnessed Lin Heng's terrifying potential firsthand today, Lei Jian had to admit to himself that he regretted his decision.
One who possesses the Power of Origin and broke through from Nirvana to the Primordial Chaos in less than a few decades is now about to face the Primordial Chaos Lightning Tribulation and achieve First-Class Primordial Chaos Spiritual Body.
With all these factors combined, Lei Jian knew that letting Lin Heng live posed too great a threat.
Originally, it was thought that Lin Heng's greatest contribution would be to the Ascenders, adding another Ao Zhantian to their ranks.
But given the terrifying potential Lin Heng has already demonstrated, if he continues to grow, who, besides those few who surpass the Nine Heavens, could possibly keep him in check in the future?
" Lei Jian, just watch closely. If you have any ulterior motives, don't blame me for starting a fight right here."
Ao Zhantian, who had been keeping his eyes fixed on Lei Jian, spoke to him telepathically at this moment.
They were old rivals who had fought for countless years. Lei Jian only had to stick his butt out Ao Zhantian knew what kind of nonsense he was going to spout.
What good intentions could those eyes, darting around like that, possibly have?
"Hmph! Since I've said I won't lay a hand on him today, you don't need to say any more useless things."
Lei Jian snorted coldly and replied telepathically.
As if his thoughts had been read, his tone naturally sounded somewhat lacking.
Ao Zhantian smiled slightly and said nothing more, but inwardly he was groaning.
Lin Heng, oh Lin Heng!
Your potential is terrifying.
First came the Power of Origin, then a First-Class Primordial Chaos Spiritual Body.
If you really create another surprise, I'm not confident I can keep the Eight Great Imperial Clans families in check.
The thunderclouds in the sky finally gathered at a certain moment, stretching for tens of thousands of meters in the sky.
A deep, dark expanse enveloped the entire earth in darkness.
Within the thunderclouds, a giant golden dragon hovered among the clouds, occasionally poking its head out to glance contemptuously down below.
Within the dark, heavy thunderclouds, a golden dragon moved about, causing its golden light to flicker intermittently.
The oppressive atmosphere plunged the room into silence.
At a certain moment, Lin Heng suddenly opened his tightly closed eyes.
'boom!'
At the same time, a thunderous boom echoed from the thunderclouds in the sky.
The golden dragon's head reappeared from the thunderclouds, looking down at Lin Heng, and let out a deep roar.
'roar!'
As the dragon roared, the heavens and earth trembled, and the space shrouded in thunderclouds began to shake irregularly.
Upon hearing the golden dragon's provocation, Lin Heng's lips curled into a disdainful smile.
'roar!'
The same dragon's roar came from Lin Heng's mouth the next second, accompanied by a tiger's howl.
But Lin Heng's dragon roar was clearly more intimidating than the golden dragon's.
A dragon's roar erupted, leaving the golden dragon completely bewildered.
This guy's Human Race, his dragon roar is even more authentic than mine?
Just as the golden dragon stared wide-eyed at Lin Heng, something unbelievable happened.
Lin Heng clenched his right fist and soared into the sky, launching an attack on Lei Yun.
This scene left everyone present completely bewildered.
When undergoing Lei Jie, isn't everyone just waiting for the lightning to strike? Does anyone actively attack the thunderclouds?
By the time the onlookers recovered from their shock, Lin Heng had already reached the area beneath the golden dragon's head.
" Heavenly Punishment!"
At a distance of tens of meters, Lin Heng unleashed a punch from afar, the force of which pierced through space and struck the dragon's head directly.
Before the golden dragon could react, Lin Heng's fist suddenly slammed into its forehead.
The excruciating pain in his forehead caused the golden dragon to let out a deafening roar.
As the executioner of lightning punishment, he has been the only one to attack others for countless years; this is the first time he has been attacked.
The golden Dragon's Wrath. Enduring the pain in its forehead, it opened its mouth to unleash a torrent of lightning to obliterate Lin Heng.
Lightning surged from the golden dragon's mouth, but suddenly, with a deafening boom, the violent lightning exploded directly inside the golden dragon's gaping maw.
Heavenly Punishment!
When Lin Heng broke through his cultivation level, his soul was touched, and he had just comprehended a new move.
Using the Power of Origin as an attack, the opponent is forcibly locked in by the eight fundamental elements, and no matter what kind of attack the opponent uses, they will suffer a backlash.
After all, the eight fundamental sources are the basis for stabilizing the universe, Source Power can escape the constraints of the eight fundamental sources.
Lin Heng referred to this backlash attack as Heavenly Punishment.
The lightning explosion from the golden dragon in the sky startled everyone once again.
But what they couldn't believe was yet to come.
The next second!
Lin Heng supported the sky with both hands!
A tremendous suction force emanated from his palm, and the lightning power contained in the thunderclouds high in the sky and the golden dragon surged wildly towards Lin Heng.
What is this guy doing?
" Lin Heng actually wants to absorb the lightning power of the Lei Jie? Has he gone mad?"
"Even Lei Clan expert at the Primordial Chaos Heaven Stage wouldn't dare do this. Isn't he afraid of being attacked back?"
A series of shocked and questioning voices continued to rise.
Lin Heng stood proudly in mid-air, and in an instant, the power of lightning was absorbed into his body through his palm.
In just a few seconds, Lin Heng had already frowned.
The Power of Origin lightning contained within the thunderclouds and the golden dragon can only be described as terrifying.
Lei Jian and the others laughed upon seeing this.
"This kid is courting death; it has nothing to do with anyone else!"
"Haha! Absorbing the power of Lei Jie —even the Lei Clan wouldn't dare do that. How could he even come up with such a thing?"
" Ao Zhantian, Lin Heng has brought this upon himself. I think you should give up on protecting him."
The Eight Great Imperial Clans immediately began to mock them loudly.
They originally thought they could only watch Lin Heng break through, but who would have thought Lin Heng would pull such a stunt.
The Eight Great Imperial Clans, who had been feeling disappointed, instantly felt much better.
"What exactly is Lin Heng thinking? Even if he possesses the Power of Origin, how could he possibly absorb the power of the Lei Jie?"
"Sigh, this kid, he finally gave us a glimmer of hope, but he chose a dead end."
"Let's finish reading first. Lin Heng isn't a reckless person. Since he dared to do this, I think he must have his own confidence."
These last words were spoken by Ao Zhantian. Compared to the doubts and ridicule of others, Ao Zhantian had confidence in Lin Heng.
In their limited interactions, Ao Zhantian knew that although Lin Heng was fearless, he only acted when he was certain of success, and he didn't really gamble with his life.
Upon hearing Ao Zhantian's words, the Ascenders could only suppress their complaints for the time being and continue to look at Lin Heng.
In the short time it took for everyone to talk, beads of sweat the size of soybeans had already appeared on Lin Heng's forehead.
With his entire body tense, and his hands reaching for the sky, the bulging veins on the backs of his hands resembled small blue snakes, making it easy to imagine the immense pain Lin Heng was enduring.
