514: Chapter 514 Seizing the Gate of Deathly Silence, Absorbing the Thundercloud Battle Saint

Rumble!

As the Sea of Destructive Lightning, manifested by Saint Leiyun, crushed down, it engulfed Hun Tiandi in lightning energy.

Violent lightning surged, like electric snakes, constantly slithering and drilling into his body through his pores.

At this moment, Hun Tiandi was like a magnet; the lightning slithered and drilled into his body, beginning to wreak havoc.

Every inch of his flesh, bones, and meridians was filled with dense lightning energy, and his originally jet-black long hair, under the erosion of the lightning energy, turned silver-white; if one looked closely, every strand of hair contained dense energy.

Under the constant bombardment of lightning energy, the Thunder Emperor Art within him was triggered and began to circulate on its own, attempting to refine it into his own Dou Qi.

However, the gap in cultivation between Hun Tiandi and Saint Leiyun was too vast; even with the Heaven-tier high-level technique, the Thunder Emperor Art, he could not digest the power in such a short time.

His previous declaration of slaughtering a Saint was merely to deceive Saint Leiyun and everyone present.

Even if Hun Tiandi was a monstrous genius with unfathomable schemes, it was impossible for a Dou Huang to kill a Saint.

The physical strength tempered by the Heavenly Demon Body Tempering Method was also nearing its limit under the constant bombardment of endless lightning energy.

"This won't do. I must find a way to alleviate this crisis, or I will explode and die."

Hun Tiandi fell into deep thought; although the Thunder Emperor Art could cultivate lightning Dou Qi, his cultivation was too weak to refine it.

What he lacked most right now was time, and Saint Leiyun would definitely not give him any.

"Got it. Hehehe, how could I have forgotten that treasure?"

Hun Tiandi seemed to have thought of something and flipped his hand to take out a purple-tinged bead.

Inside, endless lightning fluctuated, as if it were a world of lightning.

The moment the purple flame thunder bead appeared, the endless lightning before him seemed like wanderers returning home, all surging toward the bead.

Rumble!

Attracted by the pull, the purple flame thunder bead erupted with terrifying suction, devouring the sea of lightning before him.

Hun Tiandi gave a wicked smile and said, "Old dog Saint Leiyun, you didn't expect this, did you? You've worked in vain for this Emperor."

"Let's see if your Dou Qi, Saint Leiyun, is vast, or if the purple flame thunder bead's devouring power is stronger."

"It just depends on whether I, this Emperor, drain you or not. If I don't drain you to death, I will completely dry you out this time!"

At this moment, he was not in the slightest rush. He sat cross-legged in the void, closed his eyes slightly, and circulated the Thunder Emperor Art to begin processing the chaotic lightning energy in his body.

Outside, how profound was the heritage of the Lei Clan? With the help of the Gu Clan and the Daxuan Heavenly Dynasty, even without the gate of deathly silence, they still had other methods.

Countless peripheral people were discussing in a clamor, including Elder Dan, Sword Saint Tianquan, Wang Ku, the Master of Sound Valley, and Dragon King Ao Chuang.

They all turned their heads to look at the endless ocean of lightning in the sky.

They could only hear the rumbling of lightning. The moment Yan Zhao died, the Lei Clan elder sensed that something was wrong.

A feeling of losing control welled up.

The fact was that the gate of deathly silence had been sealed.

Swish...

At the same time, another group of people tore through the air within the Lei Clan's Lightning Realm; they were the experts from the Daxuan Heavenly Dynasty coming as reinforcements.

With surging momentum, seeing this, the two Dou Sheng experts of the Daxuan Heavenly Dynasty revealed expressions of joy.

"Greetings, Elder Jue. The Emperor has sent us to support you; we must take Lei Xuanji away!"

A leading Dou Zun expert bowed respectfully and spoke slowly.

"Where is the Emperor?" Elder Jue frowned and asked. If the Daxuan Emperor were to descend, he would surely be able to break the deadlock.

"Sigh, the Emperor has been intercepted and cannot come!" The Dou Zun expert sighed slightly and told the truth.

"Then let's kill!" Elder Jue said coldly.

The group of Daxuan Heavenly Dynasty experts surged forward, rushing toward Liu Ling, the Sword-Holding Elder, Mud Bodhisattva, and the others who were fighting.

The battle situation was instantly reversed; the victory that was originally in their grasp was broken by the Daxuan reinforcements.

For a moment, everyone was in crisis.

Liu Ling was fighting three opponents and was heavily injured. The Sword-Holding Elder, Mud Bodhisattva, and the others, as well as the elder of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, were not doing much better. The battle was clearly about to be lost.

Swish...

Just at this moment, as the Daxuan Heavenly Dynasty's victory seemed within reach, the Lei Clan's Lightning Realm was torn open, and a black-robed elder stepped inside.

"His Majesty has ordered, kill!" the black-robed elder said in a hoarse voice.

The group of Dou Zun experts behind him surged in, rushing toward the Daxuan Heavenly Dynasty's reinforcements. At this moment, Elder Dan revealed a faint smile.

The reinforcements from the Dazheng Empire had arrived!

The scales of victory were balanced once again. For a moment, fighting was happening everywhere in the Lightning Realm.

"Clan Chief, just who is this Hun Tiandi? How can he have so many experts under his command?" an elder beside Clan Chief Lei Dong asked in surprise.

The fact that five Dou Sheng experts had attacked earlier had already made him surprised—no, terrified.

A seven-star Dou Huang had actually gathered so many experts. Now, after the Daxuan Heavenly Dynasty's reinforcements arrived, Hun Tiandi had also struck again.

The experts under his command had also joined the fray.

"Eh, the aura of the gate of deathly silence?" The black-robed elder who had appeared later revealed a hint of joy on his aged face.

His figure flickered and vanished from the spot; when he reappeared, he was in front of the Hall of Death.

"Who goes there..." As the guarding Dou Huang expert shouted, the black-robed elder grasped with one hand, and all the guardians perished. His methods were cruel and bloody.

Looking at the ink-black gate of deathly silence, a flash of memory appeared in his eyes. This was originally the supreme treasure of the Hun Clan, though only one gate of deathly silence was present.

The complete gate of deathly silence was composed of four gates, which could form a peerless formation: the Death Realm Formation.

Crack!

With a flick of his finger, the restrictive seal originally set by the Lei Clan elder shattered in response.

As he reached out to grab the gate of deathly silence, he was pushed back by a puff of black smoke, revealing a human-shaped skeleton seal that was prohibiting the treasure.

"Not good, someone has tampered with the seal of the gate of deathly silence?" As the black-robed elder broke the formation, the Lei Clan elder outside changed his expression and headed toward the Hall of Death.

This treasure was not the Lei Clan's, but the Daxuan Heavenly Dynasty's treasure. It had been brought to ambush Hun Tiandi, and it could not be lost.

"Wang Ku, undo the seal of the gate of deathly silence!" Suddenly, the voice of Hun Tiandi rang in the ears of Wang Ku, who was guarding beside Lei Xuanji.

With a movement of the hand seal, the human-shaped skeleton seal dissipated. The black-robed elder noticed, moved his sleeve, collected the gate of deathly silence, and vanished from the hall.

"Where is the gate of deathly silence? Who stole it..." The arriving Lei Clan elder was furious; there was nothing before his eyes.

Rumble!

In the lightning sea outside, the purple flame thunder bead continued to absorb Saint Leiyun's energy, like an abyss that could never be satisfied.

Such violent devouring was like a breached heavenly river; even with Saint Leiyun's cultivation, it was hard to endure.

A feeling of extreme weakness struck him; this was because the vast lightning Dou Qi in his body was being consumed rapidly.

"Is that all you have, mere Saint Leiyun?" Hun Tiandi's mocking voice came from the lightning sea.

"You... are courting death." Provoked by the mockery, Saint Leiyun disregarded everything, frantically stimulating his lightning Dou Qi, pouring it into the lightning sea, intending to destroy Hun Tiandi.

"Hmph, then I will drain you dry!" Hun Tiandi snorted coldly, stimulating the purple flame thunder bead to frantically devour Saint Leiyun's energy.

Without holding back, the purple flame thunder bead was like a glutton, devouring the lightning delicacy.

The purple flame thunder bead was the personal treasure of the Thunder Emperor, an item refined by a Dou Di. Although it was incomplete, its world-destroying power was definitely not something a Saint Leiyun could compare to.

He had accidentally obtained the purple flame thunder bead back at Poison Dragon Ravine, and later found another fragment in the Corpse King's tomb deep within the Black-Corner Region, fusing it together.

After these years of refining, Hun Tiandi had already mastered it initially.
