91: Thunder God's Arm Splits the Sky

Underground Mo City had been reduced to a desolate ruin, filled with wails of sorrow.

Large sections of the rock walls had collapsed, and broken Thunder Wood Demon vines hung down like dead snakes.

The smell of charring mixed with dust replaced the usual fresh scent of spiritual dew.

The withered ashes of the Purifying Lotus Sea had not yet settled, and the remaining platinum halo was as faint as a candle in the wind.

The runes of the Nine Heavens Thunder Hell Formation were extremely dim, each flicker like the gasp of a dying person, barely maintaining the core area from complete collapse.

Mo Yuan stood atop the violently shaking formation eye, his body swaying slightly.

After consecutively spitting out two mouthfuls of his Origin blood and enduring the dual backlash from the Thunder Hell Bone Dragon's disintegration and the Purifying Lotus Sea's withering, even with the formidable Chaos Lightning Body, he was on the verge of exhaustion.

The light on his Thunder God Arm was no longer stable; beneath the dark purple skin, the flow of dark gold and gray Qi became sluggish, and occasionally, a subtle, uncontrolled energy turbulence would appear.

But his spine remained ramrod straight.

His dark golden pupils, piercing through layers of obstruction, locked onto the Nine Heavens above—there, the lingering power of the first Lightning Tribulation had not yet dissipated, and an even more terrifying energy had already begun to gather!

The tribulation clouds, like an enraged black behemoth, rolled and compressed frantically.

The point of destructive white light in the center lit up again, more intense, colder, and more…impatient than before!

The second Lightning Tribulation was about to descend!

And the Mo Sect had no decent defenses left to speak of!

The Lightning-Avoiding Kitess were annihilated, the Bone Dragon disintegrated, the Lotus Sea withered…the remaining five Self-Detonating Batss and the hundred thousand terrified Pseudo-Immortals awaiting death were not even enough to fill a gap in a tooth before such Heavenly might!

Despair?

Perhaps there was some.

But in Mo Yuan's core, in the depths of his Sea of Consciousness filled with cold logic and extreme madness, despair had long been crushed, transforming into the purest, most obstinate…resistance!

"Heaven…wishes to destroy me…" "Then let you…also…feel pain once!" His hoarse voice, like metal grating, squeezed out from his blood-soaked throat.

The next moment, he made an utterly insane decision!

No more passive defense! No more filling the gaps with the lives of his subordinates!

He wanted to…take the initiative to attack! He wanted to…tear apart these tribulation clouds! He wanted to…snatch food from the Heavenly Dao's mouth!

"magic bottle…open!" He suddenly raised the magic bottle, wailing incessantly and covered in hideous cracks, above his head!

The dark vortex at the mouth of the bottle expanded and spun with unprecedented amplitude, emitting a greedy yet fearful desire to devour!

At the same time, his dark purple Thunder God Arm suddenly lifted, fingers forming a claw, aimed at the hundreds of feet thick rock layer above his head, aimed at the tribulation clouds that were brewing destruction!

"Chaos…Lightning Annihilation…Explosion!" He squeezed out the last of his Chaos Lightning Body's Origin, even burning the nascent, greenish-gold lightning arc that contained a hint of the Dao of longevity!

All his power, all his will, all his madness, was poured into the Thunder God Arm!

The entire arm instantly became transparent; skin, muscles, and bones seemed to have transformed into the purest lightning energy!

Dark gold, Chaos gray, and greenish-blue lightning arcs forcefully Fused, compressed, and underwent a qualitative change in an unprecedented manner!

The space around his arm completely twisted and collapsed, forming a miniature black hole that swallowed light!

Boom—!!!!!!!

The Thunder God Arm suddenly blasted upwards!

It wasn't a lightning ball being fired, but the entire arm…transformed into a lightning spear that ripped through the sky!

An indescribably condensed, three-colored pillar of destructive light, with chaotic destructive Qi flickering at its edges, defiantly broke through the dome of Underground Mo City, broke through the thick layers of earth, and surged towards the mighty tribulation clouds, defying the overwhelming Heavenly might!

This strike drained most of his remaining strength, even damaging the Thunder God Arm's Origin!

After the arm blasted out, it instantly became dim and lifeless, even showing several subtle cracks, and drooped powerlessly.

But its mission was complete!

That three-colored pillar of destructive light, like a rebellious reverse scale, accurately slammed into the very core, the most violently energetic area, of the tribulation clouds that were brewing the second Lightning Tribulation!

Zzzzzzt—!!!!!!!

It wasn't an explosion, but an even more terrifying annihilation of energy and a clash of rules!

Mo Yuan's Chaos Thunder罡, though essentially lightning, contained the magic bottle's Origin will to disrupt Yin and Yang and devour all things, which was in absolute opposition to the Heavenly Dao's divine lightning, which was pure, impartial, and judged all things!

Two completely different forces of lightning violently collided, tore at each other, and annihilated in the core of the tribulation clouds!

The heavy tribulation clouds were actually torn open, creating a massive gap a thousand feet long!

It revealed the dim sky behind it!

Countless energies of Heavenly Dao lightning punishment were disrupted, ignited, and mutually canceled out by this sudden attack from "within"!

The tribulation clouds rolled violently, as if the Heavenly Dao let out a painful roar!

The process of the second Lightning Tribulation's condensation was forcibly interrupted and delayed!

However, the Heavenly Dao's backlash followed!

Through the torn gap, an even purer, more tyrannical destructive lightning, like the Heavenly Dao's wrath, poured down along the trajectory of the three-colored light pillar!

It slammed fiercely into Underground Mo City, slammed into the exhausted Mo Yuan, and slammed into the magic bottle he held high in his hand!

Although this pouring lightning was far less massive than a fully formed Lightning Tribulation, its quality was extremely high, containing the angry will of the Heavenly Dao, enough to completely evaporate the currently weakened Mo Yuan along with the magic bottle!

"Now! Bottle…swallow it!!!"

Mo Yuan's eyes erupted with hysterical madness!

Not only did he not dodge, but he actively brought the magic bottle's maximally expanded mouth to meet the pouring Heavenly Dao's wrathful lightning!

Hum—!!!!!!!

The magic bottle let out an unprecedented, sharp shriek, mixed with extreme pain and greedy desire!

The massive Chaos crack on its body frantically expanded, and the gray Qi at its edges danced wildly like tentacles!

The next moment!

The Heavenly Dao's wrathful lightning accurately slammed into the mouth of the magic bottle!

Rumble, rumble, rumble—!!!!!!!

An indescribably terrifying explosion erupted within the magic bottle's Small World!

How could the Small World, already on the verge of collapse, withstand this lightning imbued with the Heavenly Dao's will?

The cracks in the sky instantly widened several times, and countless Chaos fragments collapsed!

The earth completely evaporated!

Even the ruins of the dried-up Nether Lightning Pool instantly vanished!

The structure of the Small World let out a teeth-grinding groan, on the verge of complete disintegration!

Its overall collapse exceeded thirty percent!

Countless spatial fragments peeled off, swallowed by the Chaos Qi!

The magic bottle's body vibrated violently, covered in dense cracks, as if it would completely explode the next moment!

However!

Just at the edge of this complete destruction!

The magic bottle's Chaos Origin displayed its most bizarre and powerful aspect!

The invading Heavenly Dao's wrathful lightning, after destroying thirty percent of the Small World's structure, had its violent energy forcibly enveloped, pulled, and decomposed by the Chaos Qi!

A part of it was used to counteract the impact of the Small World's collapse, while another part…was forcibly absorbed by the Chaos core!

Injuring the enemy a thousand, self-damaging eight hundred!

No! It was self-damaging three thousand, injuring the enemy a hundred!

But in the end…it swallowed it!

Mo Yuan suddenly retracted the magic bottle, his body shaking violently, spitting out blood again, and he slumped down, almost unable to stand steadily.

His Thunder God Arm hung limply, cracks spreading.

The magic bottle wailed incessantly in his arms, its cracks horrifying, but…it ultimately did not break!

He did it!

At the cost of severe injuries and the magic bottle being on the verge of complete destruction, he forcibly tore open the tribulation clouds, interrupted the condensation of the second Lightning Tribulation, and…snatched food from the tiger's mouth, swallowing a wisp of the Heavenly Dao's wrathful lightning!

Although the cost was immeasurable…

He let out the loudest, most rebellious…roar to this Heavenly Dao!

In the sky, the torn tribulation clouds were slowly closing, but the rhythm of condensation was clearly disrupted, and the oppressive power seemed to have weakened slightly.

A moment of respite…was gained!

Though brief, though bought with destruction…

Mo Yuan collapsed onto the formation eye, struggling to lift his head, looking at the dying magic bottle in his arms, then at his Thunder God Arm, which was covered in spreading cracks, and finally at the re-closing, still terrifying tribulation clouds.

In his eyes, there was no regret, only an even colder…calculation.

Next…how to utilize this precious…moment of respite?
