At this point, Darren had no time to think anymore.
He immediately assimilated a drop of spiritual energy liquid. His cultivation base soared upon making a breakthrough.
A strong storm rose from within the Killing Abyss. Darren watched silently in his vigil. The forces of heave and earth poured into him all of a sudden.
He had now reached the realm of a half-step emperor.
Now that his cultivation level had improved, he could feel his blade and sword intents going manic with so much power.
An explosion disrupted the whole area.
Thick, dark clouds hovered over the Killing Abyss, while black lightning danced in and out of it.
The sky threatened to collapse under such high pressure.
This was the thunder punishment of Heavenly Repression triggered by a half-step emperor. The sight alone was terrifying!
The force of such thunder punishment was even more powerful than anyone in the Lothlann Continent had seen. This display of strength only matched that that during the ancient times.
No one with Conflicting Cultivation had ever reached the half-step emperor level!
A howl rang through the air.
The first fiend ancestor had already sensed the change in the air. Dread tickled down his spine and he looked slightly alarmed by all these.
He knew he wouldn't be able to withstand the thunder punishment.
The blade and sword intents grew wildly as they fused together under the effect of blade and sword cores. The thunder punishment burst as soon as the first trace of unsuppressed dark gold internal force was generated.
A small bolt of lightning struck down.
Fortunately, the Killing Abyss blocked it from hitting Darren.
More thunder and lightning rained down upon them as the dark gold internal force grew.
The force resulted in a series of explosions.
The barrage of lightning intensified, breaking the Killing Abyss into pieces. Everything else seemed chaotic.
Upon seeing his skill destroyed, the first fiend ancestor began hatching plans to escape. Before he fled, however, he realized that the thunder punishment wasn't coming from the human being. On the contrary, it was targeting the human.
So the first fiend ancestor decided against his initial decision and stayed.
The air cackled menacingly.
A massive thunderstorm began to come down.
Another loud bang exploded.
Darren raised his head. The expression on his face was so cold it could freeze ice itself. The dark gold internal force inside his body swept towards the thunder, wrestling it to submission.
Hanson had used such a method before.
Darren's force collided with the thunder punishment. In the blink of an eye, both forces disappeared.
One thunder had consumed all of Darren's dark gold internal force. The result made Darren question himself and his ability to resist the rest of the thunder punishment.
It seemed like death was the only ending for this battle.
"Come on!"
Darren howled. His purple robe fluttered in the air as he stood tall and proud.
More explosions rang through the air.
Dozens of thunderbolts descended, making the ground beneath them tremble.
"Come on. We are going to die anyway."
The four greatest holy warriors could feel the blood drain off their face, turning them paler under the pressure of the thunder punishment. They had little hope that Darren could survive the attack, but they still tried their best to help him even though they were on the verge of dying.
"Darren, we'll go first."
Together, they combined all their strength into the array. All of their shadows were outlined with pale golden light.
The four shot into the void, directly towards the thunder punishment.
"Sir!"
Darren couldn't help but be moved by their willingness to sacrifice their lives for him. He knew that if he didn't activate the thunder punishment, they would all die. He couldn't help but think that perhaps it was better this way.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A bloody mist dispersed in the air while a pale golden light illuminated the sky.
The four holy warriors had been blasted by the impact as they tried blocking the thunder punishment. This gave enough time for Darren to unleash the dark gold internal force towards the thunder punishment.
A few weak thunderbolts rained down on him, but these were enough to cause some serious injuries.
