Chapter 984: First Level Advanced Thunder Concept Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Xu Qing was unruffled when he heard Zuo Yue’s sarcastic remark since he knew Zuo Yue was intentionally provoking him. That was why he could quickly regain his composure and stay calm. Shua! Contrary to Xu Qing, Lei Zhong’s face changed dramatically. He had a bad temper, and he could not stay calm after he heard Zuo Yue’s sarcastic remark. He moved in an instant like a fierce goshawk, he flashed by and lunged at Duan Ling Tian with a great momentum. He was incomparably fast. Hua! As Lei Zhong flashed by, a milky-white flame surged out from his body. When the milky-white flame appeared, it instantly transformed into red flames that covered the entire sky. He looked like a vast flame as he swept toward Duan Ling Tian, intending to swallow Duan Ling Tian up. Shou! Lei Zhong, who was surrounded by flames, was like the God of Fire came to life. When he punched, a burning fireball flew out. The airflow compressed and set off a series of air explosion sound. As the air explosion sounded, a scorching airwave spread everywhere. At the space above Lei Zhong, the Heaven and Earth Energy stirred and formed the Heaven and Earth Phenomenon. Initially, six hundred ancient horned dragons’ silhouettes appeared before another five hundred more appeared. Fourth Level Void Transformation! Fourth Level Advanced Fire Concept! The gap between the Fourth Level Void Transformation and the Third Level Void Transformation was like an impassable gulf and an insurmountable divider. A Third Level Void Transformation martial artist who fully exerted his Origin Energy had a strength equivalent to four hundred ancient horned dragons. On the other hand, a Fourth Level Void Transformation martial artist who fully exerted his Origin Energy had a strength equivalent to six hundred ancient horned dragons. That was two hundred more ancient horned dragons’ strength compared to the former. Hua! Hua! Hua! Hua! Hua! ... The airwaves from the compressed air flow created a gust of fierce and burning wind. The people who were present at the scene felt as though there was heat wave coming their way. That feeling made them very uncomfortable. Lei Zhong attacked Duan Ling Tian quickly without even using a spirit weapon. Perhaps, in his opinion, a young disciple from a third-rate force had not earned the rights for him to use a spirit weapon. Apart from that, he thought it was pure luck that Duan Ling Tian managed to obtain a Profundity Fragment. Shou! The 1100 ancient horned dragons’ silhouettes above Lei Zhong as he punched his fist out like a cannonball shooting out of a cannon as the flames covered the sky. It headed straight for Duan Ling Tian as though it could destroy Duan Ling Tian with just a punch. Feng Tian Wu reacted quickly, her face changed dramatically as she yelled, "Big Brother Duan, be careful!" When she cautioned Duan Ling Tian, her eyes turned blood-red, and her body exuded waves of terrifying scorching aura that kept rising. Flames rose from Feng Tian Wu’s body, and at the space above her, the Heaven and Earth Energy stirred as it seemingly gathered into a thousand or even two thousand ancient horned dragons’ silhouettes! ’It’s okay, I can handle him.’ As flames rose uncontrollably from Feng Tian Wu’s body, a Voice Transmission entered her ears and completely reassured her. She had unconditional trust toward the owner of that voice. Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Duan Ling Tian, who seemed distracted and unprepared, turned around in an instant. He raised his hand and threw a punch to counter Lei Zhong’s fiery punch with a great momentum. Shou! When Duan Ling Tian punched, milky-white Origin Energy surged out. It immediately transformed into a vast khaki energy entwined with purple lightning and green wind. Additionally, his punch was followed by Sword Energy like a shadow. It contained Sword Concept that was extremely terrifying. Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! ... When Duan Ling Tian punched, the air compressed once again and set off another series of air explosion that sounded like exploding mines. Moreover, the mighty airwaves spread in all directions resulting in gusts of biting-cold wind that clashed with the scorching wind from Lei Zhong. Subsequently, another burst of air explosion sounded ceaselessly one after another. Everyone’s robes rustled in the wind. However, no one was paying attention to that. Their eyes were locked on the two individuals’ impending collision. More accurately, the impending collision of their fists. Shou! 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺 The flames on Lei Zhong’s body surged and raged. His punch was like the God of Fire’s wrath, it tore through the sky and exuded an overwhelming scorching aura that shrouded Duan Ling Tian. Shou! Duan Ling Tian’s robes were billowing and fluttering. His fist that contained all his Origin Energy and the four Concepts punched out unreservedly. Bang!! Both their fists collided in an instant, the force from the collision set off a deafening noise. The airwave could be clearly seen in the air as it rippled out in all directions. Those with weaker cultivation like the trio Huang Daniu, Su Li, and Zhang Shou Yong paled one after another. They could feel their vital energies and blood surging up and down since they were faintly affected. "So strong!" When they saw how Duan Ling Tian could match Lei Zhong’s fist and did not lag behind even though he punched with his bare fist, the three of them, including Huang Daniu, calmed down their surging vital energies and blood as their eyes brightened. Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! ... In the center where Duan Ling Tian and Lei Zhong’s fist collided, ripples of airwaves spread out creating gusts of violent wind. Pa! Pa! At this moment, the hair bands on Duan Ling Tian and Lei Zhong’s head broke at almost the same time. Their long hair was billowing in the wind as though they were tiny black writhing snakes. Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! ... Their forces kept colliding where their fists met before they converged and set off a deafening noise. They were evenly matched! "How’s that possible?!" Zuo Yue’s eyes narrowed when he witnessed the scene, his face was filled with incredulity. He found it hard to believe that the scene before him was real. That Duan Ling Tian, a mere young disciple from a third-rate force who looked no older than twenty-five years old, was evenly matched with Lei Zhong? "This Duan Ling Tian is stronger than Lei Zhong?" Xu Qing who was calm could not help but move. He muttered, "In their match, Lei Zhong took the lead and had the upper hand... And yet, Duan Ling Tian, who hurriedly returned the punch, managed to counter Lei Zhong’s punch!" "The strength of Duan Ling Tian’s punch is definitely more than Lei Zhong! If he’s at the same level as Lei Zhong, his hasty punch would not be locked in a stalemate with Lei Zhong’s punch." Compared to Zuo Yue, Xu Qing had a more thorough analysis of the scene before him. Duan Ling Tian was better! Seemingly set off by Xu Qing’s muttering, the Heaven and Earth Energy that was stirring above Duan Ling Tian finally formed the Heaven and Earth Phenomenon. 1200 ancient horned dragons’ silhouettes solidified into form, and they descended majestically. The Heaven and Earth Phenomenon indicated that Duan Ling Tian’s bare-handed punch currently contained the strength of 1200 ancient horned dragons! Compared to Lei Zhong’s punch that contained the strength of 1100 ancient horned dragons, there was a hundred more ancient horned dragons’ strength! 1200 ancient horned dragons’ strength! Duan Ling Tian’s Third Level Void Transformation cultivation base was equivalent to four hundred ancient horned dragons’ strength. Third Level Advanced Wind Concept was equivalent to four hundred ancient horned dragons’ strength. The Ninth Level Intermediate Earth Concept along with the Sword Concept was equivalent to two hundred ancient horned dragons’ strength. In addition to the First Level Advanced Thunder Concept that was equivalent to two hundred ancient horned dragons’ strength, there was a total of 1200 ancient horned dragons’ strength. That was right. Duan Ling Tian’s Thunder Concept had progressed. On the day he killed Lei Jun, he successfully progressed from the Ninth Level Intermediate to the First Level Advanced. Bang!! A loud bang sounded again as the Heaven and Earth Phenomenon formed at the space above Duan Ling Tian, the purple lightning entwined around his fist became more vivid as it raged even more. Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian recovered from the disadvantage of losing the lead and his hasty attack, he fully exerted his strength and charged with the strength of 1200 ancient horned dragons’ strength! After he recovered from his disadvantage, the result was obvious when his 1200 ancient horned dragon’s strength went against Lei Zhong’s 1100 ancient horned dragons’ strength. Crushed! Totally crushed! "Impossible!!" Lei Zhong was lifted and smashed by just one punch from Duan Ling Tian. When pain permeated the fist he attacked with, Lei Zhong did not scream. His eyes narrowed, he could not believe the scene before his eyes to be true. A mere disciple from a third-rate force had overpowered him with just a move when he had the advantage of attacking first? It did not matter if Lei Zhong was willing to believe it or not, the fact that he was weaker than Duan Ling Tian, and the fact that he was lifted and smashed until he was critically injured were true. "Wa!!!" Lei Zhong who was lifted and smashed by Duan Ling Tian with a punch flew for more than a hundred meters before he came to a halt. At the same time, he spat out a mouthful of vividly red blood. "I...I’m hurt? By a young disciple from a third-rate force?" He extended his hand and wiped the corner of his mouth, his eyes narrowed when he saw the blood on his hands. His expression immediately stiffened. However, he seemed to have noticed something shortly after. With a tremble, he suddenly recovered from his daze. It was because he realized Duan Ling Tian, who was from a third-rank force, the Five Element Sect, did not seem to have any intention of stopping after he was punched away. Duan Ling Tian’s eyes were cold, and his face was frosty. He was stepping in the air with a moderate speed as he headed toward Lei Zhong. Cold, killing intent flashed in his eyes. In his opinion, killing this opponent, who was the strongest among the younger generation from Izumo Sect, was not only a payback of his recklessness. More importantly, he wanted to make a point! At this moment, there were more people entering this huge cave. Among them were disciples from Anicca Sect, North Nether Sect, and Izumo Sect. Pang! Pang! Pang! ... At this moment, the scene was deadly silent, every step Duan Ling Tian took caused the air flow to vibrate and echo. Every sound that fell into Lei Zhong’s ears was as loud as thunder to him, and his face visibly paled immediately.
