n“Boom! Boom! Boom!” The waves of bolts continued to assault Li Qiye.

n

nThey emanated from the thing he was holding. It seemed to contain endless lightning as if it was the very source of this affinity.

n

nThis was his newest weapon. The material came from the meteor found by the Jilin Clan.

n

nHis blood continued to splash in numerous spots but he stood there with a tight grip. He had refined the weapon numerous times before, beaten to the point of maturity.

n

nHowever, it seemed to be outside of his control this time after the opening of the blue hole. The heavenly power coming from there was affecting his weapon, almost like a summoning call. It violently shook, wanting to break free from his hand and fly straight towards the hole.

n

nThis was hard to believe. For example, someone mighty like a progenitor would have full control over something they created.

n

nThe creator of the weapon was usually their true master. This didn’t seem to be the case here. Something in that hole had a fatal temptation for this weapon.

n

nAlas, there was no escaping Li Qiye’s grip. The origin of the material was one thing but he could still control his own creation.

n

nThe only reason why he was letting this happen was to bait some fish and this weapon was the perfect lure.

n

nIt started with individual strands but now, more and more came out and eventually formed something akin to a waterfall.

n

nBeautiful flowers of blood gushed from him to the horror of the capable spectators.

n

nHowever, his body was extremely tough. All of the wounds closed in such a short time. The only unchanging thing was his grip on the weapon.

n

n“Rumble!” Explosions still came from the blue hole. The sound was muffled yet the effect was akin to the sky falling down and crushing everything beneath.

n

nEveryone felt an instinctive fear almost like children being scared by thunder at night.

n

n“Boom!” They felt as if something had pierced through a barrier, that there was another world outside of Three Immortals.

n

nSomething outside clearly wanted to break into Three Immortals.

n

n“Rumble!” More explosions added to their nervousness. Some spectators had goosebumps all over.

n

nA maelstrom appeared next to the hole with the shape of a funnel, pointy at the bottom and wide at the top.

n

nIt moved like a tornado, slowly inching towards Li Qiye’s weapon. It seemed to have its own sentience and acted with prudence.

n

nAs it touched his weapon, the latter produced even more lightning bolts, seemingly going crazy with greed.

n

nThe waterfall of bolts hitting Li Qiye immediately changed direction and aimed for the maelstrom instead.

n

n“Rumble!” The combination of the maelstrom and the bolts created an insanely powerful lightning current.

n

n

nThe maelstrom served as a funnel, gathering more and more energy. This combination created a very strange scene - numerous stars seemed to come into being in the blink of an eye. The cycles of creation were rapidly spinning within this maelstrom.

n

n“Boom!” Eventually, the maelstrom went insane and unleashed the empowered lightning current towards Li Qiye.

n

nMany saw his body being instantly destroyed. No physical form could ever withstand this force.

n

nAll of Three Immortals were affected by the attacking maelstrom. It could crush the three worlds into pieces.

n

nEveryone gasped at this sight. How could Li Qiye survive being stuck in that lightning maelstrom?

n

n“This looks suicidal.” Many big shots thought.

n

nJust think about it, he invited the wrath of the high heaven straight on his body. Suicide was the right word to describe this.

n

n“He played with fire and won’t be able to survive.” An ancestor murmured, frightened by Li Qiye’s insane choice.

n

nThey stared at the maelstrom, wondering about Li Qiye’s fate.

n

n“Wait, look over there.” Although the maelstrom remained the spotlight, one particular ancestor noticed something over at the continent.

n

nHe saw Flying Sword Marvel and a small group climbing up the highest peak. They were carrying a massive crossbow that would require many men to pull the string.

n

nIt was made with precious silvermoon metal, giving it a cold luster. It also had the aura of a progenitor; even a fool knew of this weapon’s level.

n

nFlying Sword Marvel placed an arrow on the crossbow, white from top to bottom and looked like a tooth.

n

n“Dragontooth Heavenbane Crossbow!” One ancestor recognized the crossbow and took a deep breath: “Why does she have this? It is used by a progenitor to hunt ancient beasts.”

n

nHowever, her target was obvious to the spectators - Li Qiye.

n

n“Fiercest is trapped by the maelstrom, he can’t dodge.” One big shot quietly said.

n

nFlying Sword Marvel clearly wanted to deliver a fatal blow during Li Qiye’s most vulnerable moment.

n

nThe crowd knew of her animosity towards him. She was turned into a bloody mist once by him too. This vengeful act wasn’t unexpected.

n

n“Should we help the young noble?” Holyfrost asked.

n

n“Why should we? This will just give him an excuse to kill.” The bull laughed and told her.
