A surge of energy gushed from the ’Shenxiao Thunder Pearl’, flowing through his body into the ’Heavenly Strike Thunder Hamr’ in his hand. During this process, his injuries were continuously worsening.
The ’Shenxiao Thunder Pearl’ could enhance the power of thunder skills, but it required a strong body to withstand this enhancent.
Wang Yuan’s body was injured; the enhancent of the ’Shenxiao Thunder Pearl’ was like a slow poison. Not using the ’Shenxiao Thunder Pearl’ would lead to imdiate death, but using it would delay death a bit.
He still held onto a sliver of hope, hoping for a miracle to appear, so he continuously mobilized the energy within the ’Shenxiao Thunder Pearl’ to delay the arrival of death.
A bolt of lightning shot out from the ’Heavenly Strike Thunder Hamr’ in his hand, hitting the Earth Puppet. The Earth Puppet’s defense was ineffective and it shattered into pieces.
Upon seeing the power of this lightning bolt, Li Shiming couldn’t help but twitch at the corner of his eyes.
Being a Thunder Cultivator who also practiced the ’Yuqing Thunder Scripture’, he naturally had an accurate judgnt of the power of lightning.
He was also aware of the Earth Puppet’s defensive power. This highly limited puppet’s defensive power on the ground was almost exceeding the Nascent Soul Early Stage Peak.
Yet such defensive power of the Earth Puppet was demolished by what seed to be an ordinary Thunder Strike Skill.
"Is this the power of the ’Shenxiao Thunder Pearl’?" he thought silently.
A gleam of greed flashed in his eyes. As a Thunder Cultivator, how could he not be tempted by such a treasure that could greatly enhance the power of thunder skills?
Moreover, with the ’Shenxiao Thunder Pearl’ appearing in front of him, it was said that one would be at fault for not taking what heaven granted.
His mind moved, and he began making preparations, as he had often benefited from being the fisherman profiting from others’ conflicts.
The leading Nascent Soul Early Stage Practitioner had a smile on his face, seeing Wang Yuan’s condition he knew that with just a bit more effort, Wang Yuan would completely lose his fighting capability.
"Earth Puppets, co out!" He nodded to the seven other Nascent Soul Early Stage Practitioners, who then summoned Earth Puppets as well.
Seven Earth Puppets charged at Wang Yuan, and Wang Yuan sent out seven bolts of lightning, destroying all seven Earth Puppets.
It seed like Wang Yuan had the upper hand, but everyone could see that Wang Yuan was fighting at the cost of his life.
The Earth Elent practitioners summoning the Earth Puppets rely consud so spiritual power, nothing more.
The Earth Puppets were Earth Attribute puppets ford by Earth Elent Spiritual Power gathering soil. They functioned more like mobile spells than actual puppets.
The energy within the Earth Puppets was constantly being consud. As long as they existed, they consud energy.
No matter if the Earth Puppets fought or not, once the energy inside was consud to a certain extent, they could no longer maintain their existence and would disappear on their own.
The seven Earth Puppets further exacerbated Wang Yuan’s injuries, his breathing becoming labored.
His body involuntarily swayed, causing the leading Nascent Soul Early Stage Practitioner to feel even more joyous.
"Wang Yuan, stop struggling. With the injuries inside you, every ti you use a thunder skill feels worse than death, just give up!" the leading Nascent Soul Early Stage Practitioner advised again.
"Song Yu, you coward, even though I’m so injured, you still don’t dare face one-on-one. You’re nothing but a sneaky villain hiding in the back. With your Dao heart, your only future is to beco a demon!" Wang Yuan mocked aloud.
Song Yu’s face darkened. He indeed had a deep fear of Wang Yuan due to his background.
But he didn’t want to show it, as there were still seven comrades by his side.
"Wang Yuan, you’re about to die, and you’re still being stubborn. Do you really think I’m afraid of you? I’ll personally kill you!" Song Yu assessed the situation and said loudly.
In Wang Yuan’s current state, he was definitely unable to fight him.
Even with the reinforcent of the ’Shenxiao Thunder Pearl’, how many tis could Wang Yuan’s body withstand its enhancent? Once or twice?
In all likelihood, one or two tis of mobilizing the ’Shenxiao Thunder Pearl’ would destroy all the vitality in Wang Yuan’s body.
In Song Yu’s mind, the ti was near, and only by personally killing Wang Yuan could he establish his authority in front of his seven fellow sect mbers.
With this thought, Song Yu moved a bit closer to Wang Yuan.
Of course, he remained very cautious and did not get too close to Wang Yuan, rely leaving the formation of the seven Nascent Soul Early Stage Practitioners.
"Wang Yuan, I’ll give you a dignified death, preserving your entire body, and I’ll build an eternal stone coffin for you!" Song Yu said, adopting the posture of a victor.
Wang Yuan’s lips curled into a mocking smile, having been patiently waiting for this opportunity.
His internal injuries were indeed severe, making it impossible to mobilize the ’Shenxiao Thunder Pearl’ anymore. This was sothing the eight Nascent Soul Early Stage Practitioners could not be deceived about.
The White Emperor Sect had deep knowledge of the Yuqing Sect, and even if he wanted to deceive them, it would be impossible.
His injuries were real, and his inability to fight any longer was real, but what was different was that he still had one trick up his sleeve.
Upon seeing Wang Yuan’s smile, Song Yu imdiately sensed sothing amiss. He was about to retreat, to fall back into the formation of his fellow Nascent Soul Early Stage Practitioners, but it was too late.
Wang Yuan’s Nascent Soul opened its mouth, and a bolt of lightning shot out from him.
The mont this lightning appeared, even the Illusion Spirit Dragon, hiding outside the battlefield, felt overwheld by its pressure.
It was unimaginable what kind of existence had left behind such a bolt of lightning, its imnse power terrifying beyond Li Shiming’s comprehension.
The lightning struck through space, its speed so quick that it hit Song Yu even before he could act on his intent to retreat.
The defensive treasures and spells on Song Yu were utterly unable to withstand the force of the lightning’s assault.
The defensive treasures shattered into pieces, and the spell barrier of defensive spells broke with one hit, as the lightning struck Song Yu’s body.
"No!" Song Yu wanted to perform a Nascent Soul Ergence, but this lightning was fundantally different from normal lightning attacks.
As soon as the lightning hit Song Yu, he lost control of his body, the paralyzing effect of the lightning far exceeding any other Thunder Cultivator’s spells.
The lightning also carried a force of annihilation, spreading through Song Yu’s body, extinguishing life wherever it reached.
Song Yu’s Nascent Soul wanted to escape, but it couldn’t find any way to pass through the body filled with lightning.
As the lightning invaded the Nascent Soul area, the Nascent Soul displayed a look of terror before being completely engulfed by the lightning.
The speed of this lightning was so fast, and the attack was too sudden for the seven Nascent Soul Early Stage Practitioners to react.
After it hit, they still wanted to rescue him, but by the ti they made a move, Song Yu’s body was lifeless and falling towards the ground.
Just after Song Yu’s death, a look of madness flashed in Wang Yuan’s eyes.
Song Yu was the commander of this trap, and his sudden downfall left a gap in the White Emperor Sect’s setup.
But Wang Yuan had no intention of escaping; he was aware of his body’s condition.
Even if he tried to flee, he wouldn’t get far before being caught by the seven Nascent Soul Early Stage Practitioners, and by then, he wouldn’t even have the strength for final resistance.
So he chose to fight to the death, forgetting about the injuries within his body.
The energy within the ’Shenxiao Thunder Pearl’ surged, this ti far exceeding what his body could tolerate.
The ’Thunder Body’ spell solidified on his ’Heavenly Strike Thunder Hamr’ was activated, his body entering the energized thunder body state of ’Thunder Body’.
The energy from the ’Shenxiao Thunder Pearl’ poured into his body, and the Thunder Body reduced most of the damage, but still he endured a slight amount of harm.
These damages were forcibly suppressed by him, as he executed the ’Thunder Cloud Skill’.
In the last monts of his life, the ’Thunder Cloud Skill’, which originally required so ti to prepare, was activated within the span of a single breath, at the cost of burning a significant amount of his life span.
His life was already counting down, so what use was there in preserving this much life span?
At a vast cost of life span, rely to reduce the few breaths needed to initiate the ’Thunder Cloud Skill’, this price was unimaginably great.
