88: Chapter 88 The Fall of the Thunder Spirit Warrior

A deep purple beam of light, infinitely thin yet infinitely brilliant!

This beam ignored the barriers of space and the passage of time...

With incomparable precision, it struck the very tip of that world-destroying giant Thunder Dragon Halberd Beam—the core of its energy flow and the most fragile 'point' of its laws!

Ding—!!!

This time, it was no longer a subtle hum, but a sharp explosion that could pierce metal and stone and tear through the soul!

Time seemed to freeze at this very moment!

The massive Thunder Dragon Halberd Beam, which seemed capable of destroying everything, suddenly went rigid like a giant python struck in its vital seven-inch spot the moment it was hit by that point of deep purple spear light!

Then, reflected in the Thunder Spirit General's crimson pupils, amidst a light of unbelievable horror—

Crack!

Crack!

Crack!

The crisp, dense sound of shattering was like a death knell!

Upon that massive halberd beam, centered on the point pierced by the spear tip, countless fine cracks emitting violet-black light spread frantically like a spiderweb!

In an instant, they covered the entire halberd beam!

Rumble—!!!!

The next moment, it was like a powder keg being ignited!

That terrifying halberd beam, which condensed all of the Thunder Spirit General's power and was enough to destroy mountains and sever peaks, actually exploded violently from within!

There was no world-shaking outward surge of energy; all the destructive power seemed to be inversely detonated and annihilated by the Laws of Destruction contained within that single point of spear light!

At the core of the explosion, only a violet-black point of light remained, constantly collapsing inward and swallowing everything!

"Wooo-aooo—!!!"

The Thunder Spirit General let out a shrill wail that didn't even sound human!

Its massive body staggered backward as if struck by an invisible heavy hammer!

The arms holding the Thunder Strike Heavy Halberd, along with the divine weapon itself wrapped in lightning pythons, actually shattered and disintegrated inch by inch in the aftermath of the explosion!

Turning into wailing purple lightning scraps that flew across the sky!

On the heavy armor of its chest, a clear, spreading crack suddenly appeared!

One strike!

Just one strike!

An effortless strike!

It had destroyed the full-power killing move of a peak Nascent Soul stage expert!

It had collapsed a divine weapon manifested by the Heavenly Dao!

“Hiss—!!”

The sound of people drawing in cold breaths rang out in unison!

Everyone was completely stunned by this spear strike that overturned their understanding and surpassed their imagination!

Their minds went blank!

However, Chen Zilong's attack had only just begun!

The cold light in his eyes was like ten-thousand-year-old profound ice. The moment the halberd beam exploded, his figure had already turned into a deep purple lightning bolt that ignored space, charging straight at the heavily injured Thunder Spirit General!

His speed was so fast that not even an afterimage was left behind!

The Thunder Spirit General felt death approaching!

It let out a roar of shock and anger. Its remaining left arm instinctively condensed violent thunder, turning into a massive lightning claw that lunged fiercely at the incoming Chen Zilong!

“Too slow...”

Chen Zilong's icy voice was like a death sentence.

The long spear in his hand seemed to have gained a life of its own, its shaft vibrating at a high frequency invisible to the naked eye!

At the moment the lightning claw struck, the spear tip was like a spirit snake finding a gap, piercing with incomparable precision into the node of energy flow in the palm of the claw!

Puchi!

There was no violent explosion, only a slight sound of penetration.

The massive lightning claw was like a punctured bubble, instantly dissipating!

The spear's momentum didn't slow down. As if piercing through a thin layer of window paper, it easily pierced the dark purple heavy armor on the Thunder Spirit General's chest, which was already covered in cracks!

“Ugh... Roar!!!”

The Thunder Spirit General's roar came to an abrupt halt, turning into a pained and desperate groan!

Its massive body suddenly froze!

In its crimson pupils, those two points of hellfire flickered violently, filled with disbelief and...

A trace of shock and anger originating from the source of the Heavenly Dao!

Chen Zilong's wrist flicked!

The deep purple thunder patterns burning on the long spear suddenly erupted with a blinding light!

A terrifying power containing the Laws of Destruction and Annihilation surged frantically through the spear shaft and into the Thunder Spirit General's body!

“Shatter for me!”

Boom—!!!

The Thunder Spirit General's massive body, composed of pure Tribulation Lightning source, could no longer withstand this destructive power from within, which came from an even higher level of Lightning Source!

Like an ignited powder keg, it suddenly exploded from the inside!

Countless dark purple lightning fragments mixed with destructive energy turbulence, shooting out in all directions like a volcanic eruption!

The violent shockwave instantly leveled everything within several hundred yards!

The nearby Thunder Spirit Soldiers and giant beasts were like paper, instantly torn apart and vaporized!

The Thunder Spirit General, the invincible commander of this Thunder Spirit Army and a terrifying existence at the peak of the late Nascent Soul stage, was actually destroyed by Chen Zilong in an absolute crushing manner—his ultimate move broken in one strike, and his true body shattered in the next!

Completely annihilated!

A brief dead silence fell over the battlefield.

Only the sizzling of energy annihilation and the crackling of falling lightning fragments remained.

All the Thunder Spirit Soldiers and giant beasts stopped their movements. Within their cold lightning will, for the first time, a clear fluctuation called 'fear' appeared!

Looking at the figure standing with a spear in the void, like a sovereign of thunder, they were filled with awe and trembling!

Chen Zilong hovered beneath the Tribulation Clouds, the space around him slightly distorted by the pressure of his lightning power.

He knew well that every extra minute meant more variables.

He had to end this quickly; he couldn't afford to delay any longer!

A flash of decisiveness and severity crossed his eyes, and the long spear in Chen Zilong's hand turned into lightning and dissipated.

Then, his hands changed into a new incantation gesture, and a brilliant light radiated from his dantian.

A primitive, heavy golden cauldron emitting an aura of overlordship slowly emerged.

This cauldron was precisely his Lifebound Treasure—the overlord cauldron!

The man and the cauldron, under the churning Tribulation Clouds, seemed to form an eternal painting.

Chen Zilong's eyes were sharp as an eagle's, a hint of pride at the corner of his mouth. His aura suddenly surged, filled with heroic spirit!

He no longer hesitated. Driving the overlord cauldron, he boldly charged into the orderly and murderous ranks of the thousands of troops formed by countless Thunder Spirits ahead!

This battle was destined to be earth-shaking and magnificent!
