Han Li started laughing before saying with gritted teeth, "You are correct, and I have to thank you for giving me this opportunity. If you did not attract Heavenly Punishment on yourself, I would never have the chance to gain this power."

"You do not need to boast so much. There is no way that you could really control Divine Punishment Thunder. At best, it is a weakened version of it,’ replied Wang Wei calmly.

"Maybe, but it is still enough to kill you."

After saying that, Han Li waved his staff, then a black lightning bolt rushed towards Wang Wei, who used the [Flame Calamity] attack in response. Wang Wei’s black flame and Han Li’s black lightning, clashed.

However, there was no explosion one would expect. The black lightning instantly destroyed the Heavenly Destruction Flame and hit Wang Wei straight into his stomach.

Wang Wei’s defense was no use for this lightning. His Innate Field, skins, muscles and bones were completely destroyed--leaving a big hole in the middle of his chest.

Luckily for him, he moved all his organs around in his body so that they were not affected.

Meanwhile, Wang Wei looked at the hole on his chest with a calm look on his face. He then started to use the [Ancient Desolate Body Refining Scripture] in order to refine the black thunder in his muscles.

However, he failed. The Divine Punishment Lightning further destroyed his muscles instead of being absorbed by them. So, Wang Wei stopped his attack and stomped on the ground, removing the thunder from his body.

Following this, Wang Wei activated his Life and Death Wheel Innate Talent, absorbing massive amounts of spiritual energy around him. Then, in just a few seconds, the hole on his chest was completely healed--not leaving even the slightest mark.

Han Li frowned after seeing this, so he waved his staff again to throw another lack thunderbolts at his opponent.

As for Wang Wei, he used a new method called [Thunder-Flame Calamity]. This is a technique that combines the elemental powers in both his muscles and his bones, and Wang Wei learned it from the [Ancient Desolate Body Refining Scripture] during his retreat.

After using this attack, countless thunder and flame enveloped the entire arena, trying to stop the black thunder. However, this powerful attack only managed to weaken it.

As such, Wang Wei threw another punch. This time he used the [Thunder-Wind Calamity]. Countless wind blades with thunder flashing on them attacked the remaining black thunder.

Boom!

With a powerful explosion, the black thunder was completely annihilated. A powerful shock wave traveled from the epicenter of the explosion all around the arena. Luckily for the watching disciples, a powerful formation appeared that blocked the shockwave from reaching them.

Han Li had an ugly look on his face when he realized that his opponent only needed two attacks in order to stop his one move. It might seem that he had the advantage, but he knew that with Wang Wei’s terrible stamina, these powerful attacks were nothing but child play to him.

So, Han Li mobilized more Divine Punishment Thunder from his staff, then a dragon shaped lightning manifested itself before heading straight for Wang Wei.

Although this attack was powerful, Han Li still paid a price for using it. If someone were to look closely at his hand, they would find that they were burned by his own thunder.

As for Wang Wei, he did not care about Han Li’s increase in strength. To him, this battle was nothing but a way to quickly acquire the position of Sacred Son, and to test out his new strength in battle.

So, after using more than four Calamity Punches, the Divine Punishment Thunder Dragon was also destroyed.

Meanwhile, Han Li suddenly realized that he might not win this battle, so he took drastic measures. He bit the tip of his tongue, drawing a few drops of his source blood and spitting them on his Proven Dao Artifact.

Then, the black lightning that he could use suddenly increased. With a wave of his staff, three more thunder Dragons appeared, exuding a supreme will that wishes to punish any person that stood in their ways

As for Wang Wei, after seeing this attack, he knew that he needed to take things seriously. So, he clenched his hand and prepared one of his most powerful attacks.

All parts of his body started to vibrate. His Innate Field, skins, muscles and bones, his origin essence and his soul.

"[World Breaking Fist]" roared Wang Wei as he punched forwards.

Bang!

historical

The entire Dao Opening Sect trembled slightly, the clouds in the sky dispersed, and many tiny space cracks could be seen appearing around Wang Wei’s fist.

All three of the Black Thunder Dragons were instantly destroyed, and Han Li was sent flying until he hit the protecting arrays that separated the arena with the audience.

As for Wang Wei, he did not wait for his opponent to get up and rushed towards him with all his speed. However, Han Li was not fully incapacitated. Black lightning suddenly appeared from his body and rushed straight to the approaching Wang Wei.

Unfortunately, after these thunder destroyed the approaching Wang Wei, they eventually turned into countless rainbow lights before dispersing. This was a technique from the [Rainbow Escape Art].

Han Li’s face turned ugly after seeing this, however, before he could even react, Wang Wei was already behind.

Without hesitation. He grabbed Han Li’s two hands--including the one still holding the staff--and ripped them apart.

Blood started to spill all over Han Li’s empty sockets as he screamed in agony in the grounds. As for Wang Wei, he completely ignored his opponent’s scream as he concentrated on the staff on his hand.

He could tell that the reason that Han Li was able to control the Divine Punishment Thunder was due to this weapon, hence the reason he ripped this guy’s weapon off his hand. Well, forget the fact that he meant that quite literally.

After that, Wang Wei used his origin essence and Divine Sense to seal this weapon and prevent his owner from calling it back.

As for Han Li, after screaming in pain for a few seconds, he stopped as a ruthless light flashed across his eyes. Then, a pale person that looked exactly like him came out of Han Li’s body: this was his primordial spirit.

Then, the primordial spirit rushed straight into Wang Wei’s body, heading for his Sea of Consciousness.

Unfortunately for him, as soon as he entered, he saw a massive purple cloud with grey outlines floating above him. Then, a supreme pressure enveloped the primordial spirit making it impossible to move.

For some reason, Han Li felt like this purple cloud was smiling at him. Soon, he knew the reason. A powerful Divine Sense started to search the memory of the primordial spirit.

He tried to resist, but it was useless. The Divine Sense seemed to be searching for something specific from his memory. And after a few seconds, it found what it was looking for and took it.

Afterwards, Han Li’s primordial spirit was pushed out of Wang Wei’ Sea of Consciousness, returning to his owner’s body.

As for Han Li, he was not happy that he was not killed. On the contrary, he was furious. He started to laugh hysterically on the floor. His laughter contained a certain madness, a deep and profound sadness.

"So, that’s it is," yelled Han Li after forcing himself to stand up, despite his missing two arms. However, the hysteria on his face was not gone.

"It all makes sense now. I finally understood. You have been scheming against me and my master for more than a 100 years," yelled Han Li while looking at Wang Wei with pure hatred in his eyes.

"More than a century ago, when you experienced Divine Punishment Thunder, the sect master called all the elders to come to help. With my master’s contradiction with the other factions, he would never have come to help.

"However, suddenly, one of his advisors gave him the idea of capturing Divine Punishment Thunder in order for me to refine and increase my strength. So, with excitement, he followed the advice."

The madness in Han Li’s eyes increased as he continued to narrate past events. His eyes had already turned completely red, signifying that he was on the verge of bedevilment.

"Little did he know that this was actually your calculation. You wanted to use Divine Punishment Thunder to temper your body. However, this kind of thunder is extremely destructive. Without the proper method, it is impossible to use.

"So, you used me--who possessed the Heavenly Thunder Physique--to create the method needed to refine the black thunder. Only a person with my physique have the ability to create a method to refine Divine Punishment Thunder.

"You probably guessed that my master would use the pain and misery I suffered to motivate me. After all, what better way to motivate someone than through pure hatred and desire for revenge. Hahaha, little did I know that I was only a little fish hooked to your bait.

"To be precise, everyone can be your little hooked fish. Whether it was Crown Prince Ji Song, me, or even my master. Hahaha, Young Master Wang Wei... No, Sacred Son Wang Wei, you are worthy of being one the most talented members of the sect in countless generations."
