The Clash

After absorbing the power of the bottom-absorbing thunder, the Purple Lightning Hammer rushed towards the location of the Auspicious Cloud of the Heavens. As soon as it broke out of the thundercloud, it immediately began to spin. At this moment, the hundreds of millions of thunder snakes following behind him were pulled over by his spinning momentum, forming a protective shield around him, with a drill-like attack body at its top.

In the few breaths it took for the Purple Lightning Hammer to fly into the air and replenish the lightning, the Celestial Venerable Yuanshi did not manipulate the Auspicious Cloud of the Heavens to replenish the three layers of forced protective shields. Instead, he devoted all his magical Law Power to reinforcing the remaining six layers of defensive shields.

The six layers of protective shield that Auspicious Cloud of the Heavens now possesses are more than 50% stronger than before.

The Purple Lightning Hammer began spinning at high speed the moment it burst out of the thundercloud, and its speed increased as it fell. By the time it reached the front of the Auspicious Cloud of the Heavens Shield, it had transformed into a giant lightning drill due to the lightning snakes gathering around it.

When the strange drill struck the protective shield of the Auspicious Cloud of the Heavens, it did not slow down; instead, it spun faster and faster. After a few moments of stalemate, the protective shield of the Auspicious Cloud of the Heavens cracked, and cracks began to spread outwards from the point where the Purple Lightning Hammer struck.

Then, with another loud bang, this layer of the Law Treasure of Auspicious Cloud of the Heavens was also shattered by the Purple Lightning Hammer.

"Cult Master Tongtian, I think your Purple Lightning Hammer is no good. Its attack power has been hitting my Auspicious Cloud of the Heavens's nine-layer protective shield for half a day, and it has only broken through four layers so far."

"Or is it that you, Cult Master Tongtian, have run out of Law Power? If that's the case, then why don't you just surrender now? I won't laugh at your lack of Law Power."

"I will reluctantly accept your surrender."

After another protective barrier was breached, the Celestial Venerable Yuanshi remained calm and collected as he watched the scene unfold. Then, without any haste, he began to use psychological tactics against the Cult Master Tongtian.

"I don't know who it was before, but I beat them so badly in my Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation that they wet themselves, and then they even asked three Sage outside for help. The four of them then worked together to break my Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation."

"Not only did I fail to break the formation, but even after I removed the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation, some people still believed they had broken it. Upon learning the truth, their resolve wavered, and they seized this opportunity to challenge me again here."

The Cult Master Tongtian was completely unmoved by the Celestial Venerable Yuanshi's rhetoric and subsequently delivered a powerful counterattack.

Celestial Venerable Yuanshi's attempt to manipulate the mind of Cult Master Tongtian not only failed to work, but also backfired, leaving Cult Master Tongtian in a mess.

In particular, the fact that the Cult Master Tongtian had just mentioned that he was the one who arrogantly thought he had broken the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation made him feel quite ashamed.

"I'd like to see if your Purple Lightning Hammer can completely break through my Auspicious Cloud of the Heavens's protective shield, and see how long you can keep up this stubbornness."

It took the Celestial Venerable Yuanshi a while to react before he uttered those words to the Cult Master Tongtian.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

"Some people, they couldn't break my Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation, but after I removed Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation, they were smug and thought they had broken it."

However, the Cult Master Tongtian only responded to the Celestial Venerable Yuanshi with this one sentence.

"Wow!"

"I'm furious! Cult Master Tongtian, you just wait, I'll teach you a lesson you won't forget!"

The Celestial Venerable Yuanshi could no longer hold back. Cult Master Tongtian's words broke his defenses. He let out a few angry cries and uttered a harsh threat to Cult Master Tongtian.

Then, the Law Seals in his hands changed, accelerating the speed at which he transmitted Law Power to the Auspicious Cloud of the Heavens.

"Okay, I'll be waiting."

The Cult Master Tongtian smiled and said something, then changed the Law Seals in his hands and suddenly increased the speed at which he was channeling Law Power into the Purple Lightning Hammer.

At the same time, the two magical artifacts flashed with light.

The remaining five layers of protective shield around Auspicious Cloud of the Heavens shone even brighter, their intensity seemingly having increased to another level.

Meanwhile, the Purple Lightning Hammer summoned five enormous lightning pillars from the myriad thunderclouds, which then struck itself one after another, seemingly replenishing its power.

Immediately afterwards, the spinning speed of the Purple Lightning Hammer increased to another level, and from the thunderclouds he had summoned, lightning snakes continuously descended from the sky towards him.

Some rushed into the Purple Lightning Hammer to replenish its energy, while others recklessly charged towards the protective shield of the Auspicious Cloud of the Heavens, like moths to a flame, seemingly trying to wear down the shield of the Auspicious Cloud of the Heavens little by little with a sea of lightning tactics.

However, Auspicious Cloud of the Heavens had no other choice but to use the Law Power that the Celestial Venerable Yuanshi had passed on to him to replenish these protective shields.

Meanwhile, on the other side of Grand Pure One, Laozi was traveling non-stop. It must be said that his speed was very fast. When he heard the fourth loud noise, that is, when the Purple Lightning Hammer broke through the fourth layer of the protective shield of Auspicious Cloud of the Heavens, he could already see in the distance that the Purple Lightning Hammer, as huge as the mountain moon, was spinning and attacking the protective shield set up by Auspicious Cloud of the Heavens.

"What exactly are the Cult Master Tongtian and Celestial Venerable Yuanshi up to? It's just a competition, is it necessary to go to such lengths?"

Seeing the grand spectacle of the contest between the Cult Master Tongtian and the Celestial Venerable Yuanshi, Grand Pure One Laozi was somewhat puzzled.

After stopping and observing for a while, Grand Pure One Laozi quickly headed towards the place where the two were competing.

At the same time, under the onslaught of countless lightning serpents like moths to a flame, the fifth layer of Auspicious Cloud of the Heavens's protective shield was gradually weakened. Then, in conjunction with the attack of the Purple Lightning Hammer, the fifth layer of the protective shield was completely breached.

"Celestial Venerable Yuanshi, the protective shield you erected with the Auspicious Cloud of the Heavens has already had five layers breached by my Purple Lightning Hammer. Now only four layers remain. I'd like to see how you're going to teach me a lesson."

After breaking through the fifth layer of the protective shield of the Auspicious Cloud of the Heavens, the Cult Master Tongtian, following the example of the Celestial Venerable Yuanshi, began to use psychological tactics against him.

"Pah! You old scoundrel, how can you be so shameless?"

"In your opinion, are the remaining four layers of my Auspicious Cloud of the Heavens shield made of paper?"

Do you think you can easily break through their defenses?

The Celestial Venerable Yuanshi didn't take this level of psychological manipulation seriously at all, but the anger surging in his heart from being successfully disgusted by the Cult Master Tongtian hadn't completely subsided.

Now, after being mocked by the Cult Master Tongtian, she naturally couldn't contain her suppressed emotions and cursed at Cult Master Tongtian.

"Hahahaha, is this all the Celestial Venerable Yuanshi is capable of?"

"Is all you can do besides insult me?"

It is said that the Cult Master Tongtian was amused by the Celestial Venerable Yuanshi's mild and ineffective insult.

"I'm furious! You Tongtian, is all you're good for is empty talk?"

"Let's see who's the best."
