771: Chapter 770 Huo Wuji and Liu Qingxuan!!

Before leaving, their gazes turned toward First Prince Jun Wentian, their eyes filled with complex expressions.

There was envy, admiration, reluctance, and an indescribable sense of emotion.

First Prince Jun Wentian's Heavenly Punishment Lightning Golden Body was still moving forward through the Sea of Lightning.

Black lightning circled around it, while massive purple lightning bolts struck down.

His pace, though slow, never stopped.

Truly, the waves of the Yangtze River push the ones before them; this "young" First Prince Your Highness of their Guhen Kingdom was very likely to cross the Sea of Lightning this time and obtain the Legacy of Venerable Purple Thunder.

After all, the last time this First Prince Your Highness was at the Late Stage Great Grandmaster level, he had almost managed to cross the Sea of Lightning, falling short by only a few steps from the end.

Now that he had achieved a Breakthrough to the Peak Great Grandmaster level, his strength had greatly increased, and the possibility of reaching the end was extremely high.

The two Great Grandmasters, one male and one female, watched First Prince Jun Wentian before them, a trace of worry appearing in the eyes of the female Great Grandmaster.

"First Prince Jun Wentian's own Heavenly Punishment Lightning Golden Body already possesses lightning attributes. If he obtains the Legacy of Venerable Purple Thunder, his foundation will undoubtedly be greatly enhanced, and he will not be far from a Breakthrough to Venerable. The Princess's side will be suppressed once again by then."

Liu Qingxuan sighed inwardly.

She was the Clan Chief of the Liu Family in the Guhen Kingdom.

The Liu Family was a major Family in the Guhen Kingdom, with three Great Grandmasters holding down the fort.

And the Liu Family supported the Third Princess, Jun Qingyu.

"I hope the Princess can grow up quickly," Liu Qingxuan thought to herself.

She shook her head and turned to walk toward the outer perimeter of the Sea of Lightning.

The other Great Grandmaster, Huo Wuji, saw this and was secretly making a decision in his heart.

He was the Clan Chief of the Huo Family. The Huo Family was also a renowned top-tier powerhouse in the Guhen Kingdom, on par with the Liu Family, with immense influence.

However, unlike the Liu Family, the Huo Family had always remained neutral, supporting neither the First Prince nor the Third Princess.

Impartial and neutral, helping neither side.

But now, seeing First Prince Your Highness in such a magnificent state—Peak Great Grandmaster, Heavenly Punishment Lightning Golden Body, and only one step away from the Legacy of Venerable Purple Thunder—he was wondering if he should join the First Prince's faction in the future.

If First Prince Jun Wentian truly obtained the Legacy of Venerable Purple Thunder, his strength would greatly increase, bringing him one step closer to being a Venerable, and his advantage in the struggle for the throne would be even greater.

By then, life for the neutral faction might not be so easy.

Choosing a side must be done early.

The two Great Grandmasters had chaotic thoughts, each with their own calculations.

"Boom—!"

"Boom—!"

Two more massive purple lightning bolts descended, shooting out from the depths of the Sea of Lightning with astonishing speed, accurately attacking Liu Qingxuan and Huo Wuji.

The purple lightning tore through the Void Realm, emitting a sharp sonic boom as the purple light illuminated the area.

The defensive barriers constructed by the two were immediately broken under the bombardment of the massive purple lightning.

The massive purple lightning bolts did not lose momentum, striking fiercely upon their Golden Bodies!

"Crack—crack—"

The sound of Golden Bodies shattering echoed through the Void Realm.

Cracks immediately appeared on both of their Golden Bodies.

Fragments of the Golden Bodies fell off, drifting in the Void Realm and turning into specks of light that slowly dissipated.

The two dared not be careless; they hurriedly channeled the power of their Golden Bodies and turned to return!

Although their Golden Bodies were damaged, their mobility remained.

They turned into two streaks of light, speeding toward the outer perimeter of the Sea of Lightning with astonishing speed, not daring to pause for even a moment.

During the return, their Golden Bodies immediately took several more hits from the massive purple lightning.

The purple lightning struck from the Sea of Lightning, one after another, dense as rain, giving no chance to catch their breath.

The cracks on their Golden Bodies grew more numerous, the light of the Golden Bodies grew dimmer, and more fragments fell off.

But they gritted their teeth, desperately channeling the power of their Golden Bodies, enduring the bombardment of the purple lightning as they sprinted toward the safe zone.

However, as they moved further away from the depths of the Sea of Lightning, the power of the purple lightning in the air decreased significantly.

From the hundred-zhang thickness in the Core Area to the tens-of-zhang thickness in the middle section, and then to the few-zhang thickness on the outer perimeter—the further out they went, the smaller the power of the purple lightning became.

The pressure on the two decreased accordingly.

In the end, the two returned safe and sound.

Although their Golden Bodies were shattered beyond recognition, their physical bodies had not suffered too much damage.

The Golden Bodies dissipated, revealing their original faces—pale complexions, rapid breathing, and eyes filled with exhaustion.

But at least, they had returned alive.

...

Just after the two returned, First Prince Jun Wentian moved another short distance toward the depths of the Sea of Lightning!

His Heavenly Punishment Lightning Golden Body stood tall and firm in the Sea of Lightning, with black lightning patterns circulating on the Golden Body and purple lightning marks spreading across the patterns.

His pace was steady, his expression calm, and his gaze resolute.

At this moment, First Prince Jun Wentian expanded his Domain. Within the Domain, countless halberd shadows appeared, with black lightning suspended on the halberds, like countless black spirit snakes winding and moving through the Domain.

Wherever the halberd shadows passed, the purple Sea of Lightning was stirred, surging and churning.

The Heavenly Punishment Lightning Golden Body behind him, under the enhancement of the Domain, became even more powerful.

The black lightning became denser, the patterns on the surface of the Golden Body became brighter, and the aura of the Golden Body became more terrifying.

The massive purple lightning in the air passed through the Domain, was weakened first, and finally landed on the Heavenly Punishment Lightning Golden Body, its power no longer as world-destroying as before.

The Heavenly Punishment Lightning Golden Body took steps, step by step, bit by bit, moving forward toward the depths of the Sea of Lightning.

His speed was not fast, but very steady; his pace was not light, but very resolute.

...

At the location of the Legacy of Venerable Destruction.

Waves of surging destruction aura rushed toward Qin Yan.

Those destruction auras were more intense, more violent, and denser than before.

They surged from all directions, surrounding Qin Yan layer by layer.

Qin Yan would occasionally unleash the Great Destruction Spear Intent to block these destruction auras.

The jet-black Spear Intent circulated on the tip of his long spear, and the pressure of the Great Destruction expanded outward, forcing back the incoming destruction auras.

After blocking them, he retracted the Great Destruction Spear Intent and then began to Cultivate his own first grade Taibai Sharp Metal Spear Intent.

The golden Spear Intent danced on the tip of his long spear, sharp and peerless.

However, as time passed, Qin Yan discovered a phenomenon—the destruction auras surging toward him from around him were becoming increasingly fierce and violent as time went on.

Their concentration was increasing, their speed was accelerating, and their power was strengthening.

Before, he only needed to slightly activate the Great Destruction Spear Intent to block these destruction auras, just like a monarch's anger, making all subjects submit.

But now, that was no longer possible.

He needed to keep the Great Destruction Spear Intent constantly wrapped around his long spear to be able to block those destruction auras.

The Great Destruction Spear Intent could not be retracted or contained.

He had to keep the Great Destruction Spear Intent released at all times, constantly maintaining suppression over the destruction auras.
