Chapter 570 Thunderclap Majesty
The man with the splitting headache now had four human systems on him. Just now, the thunderclap had devoured the lightning created by Xiang Beifei and even helped him with a series of system tasks related to the various systems he was bound to. It seemed obvious to him that Xiang Beifei was no match for him at all.
However, he could never have imagined just how wrong he was.
Even now, Xiang Beifei still needed to take part in other people's system tasks to be able to control the system of this man, even though the system had been transplanted onto the tentacles of the Ghost Mustache of Remnant Visage; the principle was the same.
The lightning that Xiang Beifei had simulated just before was deliberately created by him. Once the man with the splitting headache completed system tasks on Xiang Beifei's behalf, that essentially meant that the system was already worthless in Xiang Beifei's eyes!
However, the man with the splitting headache had no idea about Xiang Beifei's prowess, not to mention him, even the owners of various systems in Jiuzhou had no clue whatsoever.
The man with the splitting headache shifted his focus to the tentacle that was bound to the Thunderclap Majesty system.
[You have spent 10 million thunderclap value and deployed "Thunderclap Majesty."]
[Xiang Beifei has just deployed lightning and been devoured by you, "Thunderclap Majesty" will exert a hundred percent suppression on Xiang Beifei!]
Swish!
The tentacle with the Thunderclap Majesty system erupted in intense thunderous sound, divine thunder and lightning burst forth in the air, as if igniting the atmosphere. Every region in the sky was covered by the thunder and lightning, quickly turning into a sea of lightning.
Xiang Beifei was trapped in the man's sea of lightning, with no possibility of escape!
"Boy, you dared to toy with me just now. This time I'll make you realize, I am the progenitor of your human systems!"
When the man with the splitting headache said this, he was full of confidence. After all, he had plundered four human systems. From any aspect, he was far stronger than cultivators with a single system!
The man with the splitting headache sneered, waved his hand, and all the lightning poured down towards Xiang Beifei!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The purple heavenly thunder roared, each lightning bolt as thick as a bucket. When they struck down, they seemed to tear the void apart. No being could exist in this sea of lightning!
Thunderclap Majesty, as the name suggests, each bolt of lightning struck with the force of ten thousand jun. He had spent 10 million system value, which means a single bolt held the terrifying power of ten million jun!
As the heavenly thunder roared towards Xiang Beifei, the man with the splitting headache even launched another system's ability—the Dynamic System!
[You have exchanged 10 million vigor value to limit Xiang Beifei's movements with "Immovable as a Mountain."]
[Introduction to "Immovable as a Mountain": If the opponent is weaker than you, they will not be able to move. If the opponent is on par with you, their movement will be severely disrupted, and their mobility greatly weakened!]
[You have exchanged 10 million vigor value to enhance the thunder with "Swift as An Escaping Rabbit," increasing the speed of the lightning by 1000 times!]
The man with the splitting headache knew that there was something odd about the domain around Xiang Beifei, so he spent 10 million system value at once to restrict Xiang Beifei's movements, and also spent another 10 million vigor value to enhance the Dynamic System's ability onto the plummeting lightning!
In the martial world, nothing is invincible except for speed!
If there was a problem with the domain around Xiang Beifei, then he would break it directly with speed. As long as the speed was fast enough, the domain would certainly be completely penetrated!
Zoom! Zoom! Zoom!
The speed of the lightning in the sky instantly increased by numerous notches, so fast that it was astonishing. In the Land of Inheritance, instantaneous movement was impossible because the space here was sealed, but the lightning burst from the man's tentacles was too fast, almost as if it was teleporting!
In an instant, the terrifying lightning was right in front of Xiang Beifei!
And this time, Xiang Beifei's domain indeed failed, as if shattered by the lightning. The thunder moved unhindered as if into a no-man's land, and even Xiang Beifei himself didn't move one bit, as if petrified by fear, losing even the instinct to move.
The man with the splitting headache secretly rejoiced in his heart, thinking Xiang Beifei was restrained by the Dynamic System and now that the domain also failed, in his eyes, Xiang Beifei was as good as dead!
He shouted violently, "Die!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The ferocious barrage of Thunderclap Majesty exploded on Xiang Beifei, that area being pounded continuously with a force of ten thousand jun, distorting the air beyond recognition!
Xiang Beifei, like a lightning rod, drew in all the thunder. With each thick bolt striking him, the air violently surged, and the rumbling sound reached the ears of every cultivator of the Yi Tribe.
With each strike of the colossal thunder bolt on Xiang Beifei, the hearts of the onlooking cultivators trembled.
The lightning was too terrifying, and they thought, if it were them, they would probably have been wiped out both in body and spirit by the first strike, unable to withstand it at all!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Thousands of lightning bolts targeted Xiang Beifei, his position completely covered by the sea of lightning. For a moment, he became the focal point of the thunder, the purple light swallowing up his figure.
"What terrifying lightning! Is... is Xiang Beifei now blasted to bits? I can't sense his existence at all!" an astonished cultivator asked.
"Do we even need to ask? The lightning from Elder Zhen of the Demon Tentacle Race is so terrifying, even an ordinary Heavenly Connection realm expert might not be able to withstand it!"
"Xiang Beifei was considered a young talent from the Congji Abyss, but what a pity, just a flash in the pan, alas!"
"We should have known earlier, Xiang Beifei is not that strong. Just look at the attitude of the other three leaders."
Even though Xiang Beifei killed Jiao Yingguang with a single punch, he still wasn't taken seriously by the Night Demon, Flaming Six Wings, or the High Priest of the Demon Tentacle Race. If they truly valued Xiang Beifei, they would have come in person to invite him into their faction, instead of sending their subordinates.
Many cultivators watched the center of the lightning explosion with hearts pounding, full of admiration, fear, and, naturally, regret.
Fu Qiuzi's complexion dramatically changed. With an attack of such magnitude, even he would have had a hard time avoiding it, almost certainly a death sentence. Xiang Beifei appeared not to have resisted at all just now, which made him start to worry.
"Daoist Li, Daoist Xiang, he...this is bad news now!" Fu Qiuzi hurriedly found Li Qianluo, who was manning her stall, his face anxious.
Li Qianluo spoke indifferently, "What's bad about it?"
What puzzled Fu Qiuzi was that the lady boss of Zha Jiang Stronghold didn't seem to worry at all; as if whether Xiang Beifei was dead or alive had nothing to do with her.
"Daoist Xiang is in such a situation, and you have nothing to say?" Fu Qiuzi asked anxiously.
Li Qianluo waved her hand dismissively, counting her treasures with glee, "Oh right, I should say something. I've made a killing, these treasures now belong to me!"
Fu Qiuzi was dumbfounded.
What are you babbling about? If Xiang Beifei loses, all your treasures will be wasted! How can they still be yours?
Could she be planning to renege?
This thought couldn't help but surface in Fu Qiuzi's mind.
Meanwhile, the cultivators who bet on the man with a parted hairstyle to win were all surrounding Li Qianluo with a look of surprise and delight.
"Daoist Li, the outcome is settled: I'll take this Beast Pill now," a Qishe Race cultivator said, smiling as he reached out to take the Beast Pill he had gambled on.
However, Li Qianluo slapped his hand away.
"What's the hurry? The battle isn't over yet," Li Qianluo said nonchalantly.
"It's not over? Daoist Li, could Xiang Beifei possibly survive within that lightning? He's been blasted to ashes!" The Qishe Race cultivator spoke awkwardly, his tongue twisting with difficulty.
"Yeah! Daoist Li, surely you're not a sore loser? There are rules here: you pay up on a loss, no welching, or you'll face everyone's boycott," another cultivator from the Jiāojìng tribe chimed in. Though only at the orifice transforming stage, he was unabashed in the presence of the Heavenly Connection realm Li Qianluo, being part of the Dawn Alliance led by the Demon Tentacle Race.
He was on the right side of the bet, and if Li Qianluo reneged, the other three organizations surely wouldn't just stand by. With backers, he was indeed emboldened.
"The victor isn't decided yet; can't you wait until the thunderclap finishes?" Li Qianluo appeared totally unconcerned about Xiang Beifei's situation, still smiling.
"He's been reduced to ashes, and the outcome is still undecided?"
Those Yi Tribe cultivators turned their gaze towards the center of the thunderstorm, but soon, all the cultivators suddenly froze, their expressions one of sheer astonishment.
They thought Xiang Beifei had been blasted to ashes, unable to sense his presence, yet at the heart of those purple thunderclaps, the lightning seemed to be drawn by something, converging into a vortex.
The wild lightning sparks continuously converged into this vortex, compressed and squeezed into a mass. The once unstoppable lightning was now being squeezed, its brilliance gradually fading, and soon, a figure was revealed.
It was Xiang Beifei!
All the cultivators were stunned!
He was actually still alive?
Not only that, but it seemed Xiang Beifei was now controlling the lightning instead?
——
At this moment, Xiang Beifei was still standing there, his clothes unharmed, without any sign of being struck by lightning. He had his hand extended, and at the center of the lightning vortex lay in his palm, all the thunderclaps seeming to converge there.
It was as if he was the Heavenly God controlling the lightning!
"How is this possible..."
The bold and unrestrained man's expression suddenly froze, turning to disbelief!
His own formidable lightning had not destroyed Xiang Beifei?
Not only that, but he seemed to have lost control over the lightning!
How could this be? He was the host of the [SR grade Thunderclap Majesty], this was his system's ability. He knew very well the power of his "Thunderclap Majesty," but why did his lightning suddenly go out of control?
The lightning in Xiang Beifei's palm crackled endlessly, and then all the thunderlight compressed into three spiritual power crystals of the early Heavenly Connection stage!
Xiang Beifei clenched his hand, and the three spiritual power crystals were already pocketed
"Is this it?"
He asked, puzzled.
