Supreme Dragon Lord

As the sword thrust down, a dull thud sounded. A dense, spiderweb-like network of cracks spread in all directions as a dazzling, silver-white light shone out from the fissures. Instantly, the light illuminated the dark pool bottom, and a silver beam shot upward, forming a pillar of light.

Seeing this, the woman’s delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly. "What is that boy doing in there? Why is this happening?"

Down at the bottom of the Thunder Pool, a dazzling silver radiance shot toward the sky, so bright that Long Chen could barely keep his eyes open.

Before he could react, an immense force erupted from the pool floor. Though Long Chen had braced himself, he could not withstand the impact. He was sent flying, slamming heavily onto the bottom of the pool. The qi and blood in his body roiled, and he could not help but cough up a mouthful of blood.

Before Long Chen could get back to his feet, a formidable energy enveloped him completely, and his expression turned grim. An intense wave of pain washed over him, but he struggled to hold on, not daring to lose consciousness. Otherwise, he might never wake up again.

His muscles and bones seemed to be under immense pressure, emitting a continuous series of sickening cracks. Waves of excruciating pain made him feel as if his body no longer belonged to him.

Just then, as the silver light flared, a ball of light slowly rose from the ground, hovering above him. Long Chen looked up, wondering what it was. Before he could figure it out, the ball of light suddenly sank into the space between his eyebrows.

Long Chen’s entire body shook, and he stood there, stunned. Before he could react, a scorching sensation spread through him. A streak of silver light appeared between his eyebrows. A moment later, a burst of the Power of Thunder erupted from the very same spot. Dense arcs of lightning enshrouded his body.

SIZZLE.

The powerful, forceful lightning penetrated directly into his body.

"AHH!!"

Long Chen’s body convulsed. The severe agony was not just physical; more importantly, it felt as though his very Divine Soul was being stripped away. If anyone else were subjected to this torment, they would have died on the spot.

The dense lightning flickered continuously across Long Chen’s body. He clenched his fists and slammed them against the pool floor, causing a powerful force to erupt in a blast of air.

BOOM!

The Thunder Pool was thrown into turmoil as churning waves of energy created an enormous vortex.

Seeing this, the woman was also startled. She was incredibly curious about what was happening down there to cause such a commotion.

BOOM!

A clap of thunder resounded in the sky as the silver radiance that had shot into the heavens transformed into lightning. As if summoned by an unseen force, the bolts of lightning rapidly converged and shot straight down toward the center of the Thunder Pool.

BOOM!

Another thunderous roar echoed. When the powerful lightning struck the Thunder Pool, the force contained within instantly grew even more formidable. The entire pool twinkled with silver light as a dense web of lightning enveloped it.

Even the woman could not help but feel a jolt of alarm at this sight. She hastily circulated the Battle qi in her body to strengthen her defenses. Just as she thought things were about to get troublesome, the intense and abundant lightning suddenly began converging on the vortex. Even the lightning that had been enveloping her began to weaken rapidly as it was drawn toward the same point.

The woman leaped into the air, hovering as she looked down at the scene below. She had never witnessed anything like it.

Her gaze was fixed on the vortex. Seeing the vast amount of lightning converging there, her delicate eyebrows knit together tightly. If it were her facing that much Power of Thunder, even she would have trouble withstanding it, let alone that boy. I’m afraid his life is about to end here.

The woman’s face was cold and indifferent. As far as she was concerned, since the boy had dared to spy on her, dying like this was letting him off easy.

"AHHH—"

The next moment, a shout echoed from within the Thunder Pool. Hearing the voice, the woman was taken aback, a hint of surprise flashing through her mind. That boy... he’s still not dead?!

Her gaze returned to the vortex. By all rights, facing such powerful energy, the boy should have been instantly annihilated. And yet, she could still hear his voice. She was extremely curious what sort of abilities this boy possessed that allowed him to hold on for so long without perishing.

At that very moment, on the bottom of the Thunder Pool, Long Chen’s entire body was covered in lightning, making him look like a god of thunder incarnate. The lightning seeped into his muscles, bones, and flesh. His Divine Soul was being stripped away only to be fused back together again. Trapped in this cycle, Long Chen suffered unbearable agony and immense mental torture.

He endured the colossal pain and furiously circulated the Battle qi within him, trying to fend off this external force. But no matter how he resisted, it was futile. The lightning remained wrapped around his body, ceaselessly tempering his muscles, bones, and flesh.

Realizing he could not resist, Long Chen stopped struggling and allowed the lightning to invade his body. His consciousness was gradually fading. Just as he was on the verge of collapse, a graceful figure suddenly appeared before him. It was the woman.

When the woman saw Long Chen, she could not help but be shocked. She had not expected the boy to be able to hold out on his own for so long. However, seeing he was at his absolute limit, she snorted coldly. "You asked for this! Daring to spy on me... death would be too good for you."

But as her eyes fell on the silver-white light emanating from the spot between his eyebrows, a look of surprise flashed across her face. How could this be possible? The woman stared intently at the center of Long Chen’s forehead, an incredulous expression on her face. He’s actually on the verge of comprehending the Thunder Path?!
