Chapter 988 - Summoning the God of Lightning

Chen Fan crashed into the battle platform, sending rubble flying and dust billowing into the air.

The unexpected turn of events left everyone stunned.

Mere moments ago, Chen Fan had dismissed Zhuge Yan’s techniques as insignificant—yet now, he was the one slammed into the ground.

The entire arena first fell silent. Then, an explosion of noise erupted across the arena.

That was especially true for the Sun Moon Divine Sect’s people. They all jumped up from their seats in happiness.

“Hahahaha, like I said, how could Chen Fan possibly be a match for Senior Brother Zhuge Yan? Absolutely impossible!”

“That’s right! Who is Senior Brother Zhuge Yan? How can a wretched bum like him provoke our senior brother? That strike must have left him half-dead!”

“This is Senior Brother Zhuge Yan’s true strength. This is the invincible bearing of our Sun Moon Divine Sect’s peerless pride of heaven.”

Their pent-up frustration from watching Zhuge Yan struggle earlier had been unbearable.

Seeing Zhuge Yan sending Chen Fan crashing into the battle platform in one blow, their resentment finally erupted into a wild celebration.

Zhuge Yan stood proudly in the sky, with crimson lightning flashing and crackling around him, splitting space and vaporizing the air. He stood like a thunder god—unmatched, supreme.

The humiliation from earlier, when Chen Fan turned his lightning into nourishment, had been an unbearable slap to the face. The flames of anger inside him could reach the skies.

Now, he had finally vented his resentment. A sense of satisfaction welled inside him.

“Little Junior Brother!” Zhuge Mingyue exclaimed in shock, looking worried.

Even Zhu Yue, Jian Qi, and the others were not as calm as before. Traces of worry flashed in their eyes.

Even they had to acknowledge Zhuge Yan’s strength, especially after he activated the power of his lightning body. It raised Zhuge Yan’s strength to another level. Compared to when the battle first began, he was now several times stronger.

They were all experts in the Manifestation realm. Naturally, they were well aware of the gap between each level. Zhuge Yan’s strength now stood at the very peak of the eighth-level Manifestation realm.

Although Chen Fan had a record of escaping from a peak Manifestation realm expert, escaping was one thing—defeating one was another matter entirely.

Swish.

A figure suddenly shot up from the rubble. It was Chen Fan.

His clothing was somewhat tattered, and he appeared to be in a sorry state. A thin trickle of blood stained the corner of his lips. However, his aura did not change much, still as vigorous as ever. He did not receive serious injuries.

“

Hmm

?” Light shone in Zhuge Yan’s eyes.

He’s actually fine. How is that possible?

Chen Fan patted the dust off his robes, his gaze unfathomable as the starry sky. “Hoho, Zhuge Yan, this just got a little interesting.”

Zhu Yue also sighed in relief and said with a smile, “I knew it! Little Junior Brother would be fine!”

Huang Wuji, Di Chen, and the others’ eyes also flickered.

Zhuge Yan stared at Chen Fan, a vicious light flickering in his eyes. He said icily, “You’re like a cockroach that just won’t die. Even that didn’t kill you, you’re pretty lucky.”

“Ah? Hahahaha. Zhuge Yan, that last strike had some force behind it. If an ordinary eighth-level expert took it head-on, they’d be crippled, if not outright dead. But unfortunately for you... it wasn’t even enough to do more than scratch my itch,” Chen Fan said, laughing.

“What shameless boasting!” Zhuge Yan shouted coldly. Chen Fan’s words were simply humiliating him, making his anger rise to the sky and burn the heavens.

Immediately, several lightning dragons pounced at Chen Fan, roaring, their momentum causing a huge crack to form in space.

Zhuge Yan simultaneously executed the Heaven Flipping Lightning Seal again to attack Chen Fan.

“Heaven Flipping Lightning Seal”

“That worked before because I was careless. You really think that will work again? How ridiculous!” Chen Fan sneered coldly. Endless sword qi spewed out of his pores, slashing towards the lightning dragon pouncing towards him.

He simultaneously stomped violently, sending ripples in space. He was like a dragon-elephant, carrying an aura that could trample and shatter the universe and the Milky Way.

With unstoppable momentum, he charged straight toward the descending Heaven Flipping Lightning Seal.

“Break!” Chen Fan shouted. His extremely terrifying strength erupted, bombarding the Heaven Flipping Lightning Seal. The two streams of terrifying strength collided crazily, tearing and distorting the space.

Crack, crack, crack, crack, crack...

A scene that made everyone’s scalps tingle unfolded before their eyes.

Cracks appeared on the terrifying Heaven Flipping Lightning Seal; in the end, it shattered. Chen Fan opened his mouth and inhaled violently, devouring the vast power of lightning.

“I’ve let you jump around long enough. It’s time to end this!”

Chen Fan strode forth with imposing steps. His berserk aura blew up the space as he appeared in front of Zhuge Yan in an instant.

A crisp, resounding smack echoed across the battlefield. Zhuge Yan was sent flying, blood and shattered teeth spraying into the air.

“

Ahhh

!” Zhuge Yan steadied himself. Towering flames of rage spewed out of his eyes, looking incomparably terrifying.

Chen Fan had actually slapped him.

Humiliation!

The greatest humiliation of his life!

“I’m going to kill you, bastard! I will tear you apart!”

His towering rage erupted.

Zhuge Yan’s voice was filled with a vicious tone.

Suddenly, an incomparably terrifying aura rushed out from within him.

He formed several seals with his hands at an incredible speed. Seemingly endless lightning burst out from the void, coalescing at his back.

An incomparably tall figure appeared before the crowd’s eyes.

It was a deity-like figure filled with lightning, born from lightning and walked in the sea of lightning. With every move it made, infinite power of lightning followed, and vast divine might spewed out.

“This is the god of lightning! This is a supreme ability recorded in the Lightning Book of Nine Palaces and Five Elements. It is said to be able to summon the god of lightning from the legends. I truly didn’t expect Senior Brother Zhuge Yan had actually mastered this art. It’s too terrifying!”

“That’s right, I thought it’s already very amazing of Senior Brother Zhuge Yan to master the Mountain Shaking, Overturning Sea, and Heaven Flipping Lightning Seals. I didn’t expect that those were not his killer moves, but this. Senior Brother Zhuge Yan has already gained a thorough grasp of the Lightning Book of Nine Palaces and Five Elements. As expected of a monstrous genius of our Sun Moon Divine Sect.”

“Innate lightning body. This is the strength of the innate lightning body. All things exist because of law, but lightning is born from itself. For Senior Brother Zhuge Yan, lightning arts are as easy as eating or drinking. There’s no difficulty at all.”

“That’s right. With this, that damned brat is dead for sure. He’s dead for sure. There definitely won’t be another way!”

“That’s right. Even if this isn’t the real god of lightning, it’s incomparably terrifying. It has a trace of the god of lightning’s divine might. The god of lightning is an incomparably powerful deity on the investiture of the gods.”

The people from the Sun Moon Divine Sect were incredibly excited when they saw that tall silhouette formed completely from lightning.
