296: Wings of Thunder Prison

"Hiss!"

Feng Linger gasped; she couldn't see any movement trajectory at all!

It was as if that figure existed in two places simultaneously!

This speed... even her zither's sound couldn't hope to catch up!

Di Jingzhe's pupils contracted to pinpoints, and his heart pounded wildly.

Fast! Indescribably fast!

So fast that even his Divine Thought perception couldn't capture Revered Master's movement trajectory at all!

"Lightning Light Evasion Shadow takes the swiftness of lightning, allowing for extreme speed displacement, controlling stillness through movement, and avoiding the solid to strike the hollow! This is the precursor to the movement technique!"

The voice of the Profound Thunder Supreme rang out from a hundred zhang away, carrying a hint of lingering prestige after the demonstration.

Suppressing the shock in his heart, Di Jingzhe nodded solemnly: "This Disciple understands! With the speed of thunder, the body moves with the mind, untouched by all techniques!"

"Your Comprehension Ability is acceptable."

The Profound Thunder Supreme nodded slightly, his illusory figure flowing with light once more. "Now, look at the second form! Wings of Thunder!"

The Profound Thunder Supreme's arms suddenly spread out to both sides!

"Li—!"

A cry of a thunderous divine bird, seemingly from the ancient primordial era, pierced through the rolling thunder and echoed throughout the area!

Behind the remnant soul of the Profound Thunder Supreme, two streaks of purple thunder erupted!

These two streaks of thunder were not chaotic; instead, they frantically condensed, shaped, and extended at a speed visible to the naked eye!

In the blink of an eye, a pair of giant thunder wings with a wingspan of three zhang suddenly took shape!

Every feather looked as if it were carved from the most perfect purple-gold divine crystal, with liquid-like thunder flowing along the edges. Countless fine lightning arcs leaped and exploded between the wings, making crackling sounds.

The thunder wings flapped gently. They didn't bring a gale, but caused the space within dozens of zhang to twist and ripple. Even the violent thunderclouds seemed to freeze for a moment!

"Wings of Thunder grant you the extreme speed of the heavens! Traveling ten thousand miles on thunder, making far-off horizons seem close at hand! This is the foundation for chasing the stars and the moon, and it is also a Divine Artifact for controlling the battlefield!"

Before the Profound Thunder Supreme's voice could fade, the Wings of Thunder behind him flapped violently!

"Boom!"

A blinding ball of thunder exploded in place!

His figure had already vanished!

Above, a purple-gold stream of light shuttled at an unimaginable speed!

At times, it sped along the scorched mountain walls, trailing a long line of thunder-fire; at times, it charged vertically into the rolling thunderclouds, weaving through dense lightning gaps like a God of Thunder patrolling the heavens; and at other times, it dived instantly to the valley floor, circling once above Di Jingzhe's head, the violent airflow making Di Jingzhe's long hair dance wildly and his clothes flutter loudly!

That speed was so fast that the eyes couldn't lock onto it at all; only a purple light trail tearing through the sky could be seen!

Feng Linger had long since held her breath, her fingers pressing tightly on the zither strings, fearing that a single note might disturb this miraculous scene.

The shock in her eyes was beyond words; this speed had already exceeded her understanding of flight, nearing spatial displacement!

Di Jingzhe looked up, letting the violent airflow strike him, his eyes burning as hot as blazing thunder.

This was the true extreme speed of the heavens!

Compared to these Wings of Thunder, the movement technique he had previously driven with thunder power was like a turtle's crawl!

"Lightning Light Evasion Shadow focuses on instantaneous movement, hiding offense within defense; Wings of Thunder focus on the extreme speed of the heavens, allowing one to move freely and dominate."

The figure of the Profound Thunder Supreme suddenly stopped in front of Di Jingzhe. The giant thunder wings behind him slowly retracted and dissipated, leaving only bits of purple-gold thunder debris drifting down.

"Both are based on the Zixiao Divine Thunder within your body, with the unstoppable intent of the Kui Thunder Shakes the World Art as their soul! If you only learn one, it's merely at the High Grade Saint-Grade power level. However..."

His illusory gaze, like two tangible streaks of thunder, locked onto Di Jingzhe: "If you can Revered Master and integrate both, perfectly combining movement displacement with heavenly extreme speed... then the superposition of these two forms, in speed, variation, and power, will be enough to rival a Peak Saint-Grade Divine Ability!"

"Peak Saint-Grade!"

These words were like a heavy hammer, smashing hard into Di Jingzhe's heart!

He took a deep breath, the dense thunder power in the canyon pouring into his lungs, and his gaze instantly became incredibly firm and fanatical.

"This Disciple will certainly not fail Revered Master's high expectations!"

His voice was sonorous, carrying a resolute will.

"Good!" the remnant soul of the Profound Thunder Supreme shouted.

"The essentials of the Mind-Cultivation Technique have already been branded into your Sea of Consciousness by this teacher! Draw the Zixiao Divine Thunder, visualize the speed of lightning, and condense the form of the evasion shadow!"

Boom!

A purple lightning bolt, far thicker and more violent than before, carrying the wrath of the heavens, tore through the heavy thunderclouds like a rampaging thunder dragon and lunged down at Di Jingzhe's head!

The destructive power contained in this lightning was enough to instantly heavily injure or even obliterate an ordinary Peak Purple Mansion Realm Cultivator!

The Profound Thunder Supreme actually directly summoned heavenly thunder to serve as a whetstone for Di Jingzhe!

Di Jingzhe's pupils shrank, and the sense of mortal danger instantly gripped his heart!

But he didn't hesitate for a moment. The Lightning Light Evasion Shadow Mind-Cultivation Technique branded in his Sea of Consciousness by the Profound Thunder Supreme instantly began to flow!

"Body moves like thunder! Avoid the solid and strike the hollow!" Di Jingzhe roared in his heart. The Zixiao Divine Thunder Origin in his Dantian surged frantically, instantly flowing through his entire body!

He stomped his feet violently on the scorched boulder beneath him!

"Crack!" The boulder shattered at the sound!

"Zzzt—!"

Amidst the ear-piercing explosions of electric current, Di Jingzhe's figure instantly became blurred!

His true body, at the critical moment, seemed to be pushed out by the terrifying pressure of that falling thunder, appearing ten zhang away to the left!

Boom!!!

That terrifying falling thunder struck hard against the afterimage Di Jingzhe had left behind!

A scorched crater several zhang deep exploded in place, with violent thunder-fire mixed with broken rocks shooting out in all directions!

Although Di Jingzhe had avoided the direct hit, he was still too close and was violently blown away by the terrifying shockwave of the explosion!

He let out a muffled groan, his body tumbling in the air. The thunder patterns on his body flickered wildly as he struggled to neutralize the destructive energy invading his body, a trace of blood leaking from the corner of his mouth.

His clothes were torn in several places by the violent thunder-fire, becoming scorched and blackened.

"Too slow! Your movement direction is too simple, and your anticipation is insufficient! Again!"

The Profound Thunder Supreme's cold voice was like ice water being poured over his head.

Di Jingzhe gritted his teeth, wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth, and his gaze became even more ferocious.

He had just barely avoided it, but the cost was not small, and the distance and speed of his movement were more than a hundred thousand miles away from the Profound Thunder Supreme's demonstration!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The remnant soul of the Profound Thunder Supreme hung in mid-air, like a deity controlling thunder.

With a movement of his will, the thunderclouds above seemed to become completely enraged. Three purple lightning bolts, even thicker than before, tore through the sky in a triangular formation, carrying a destructive aura that locked onto the Divine Soul, and struck down toward the newly landed Di Jingzhe!

The shadow of death was like something tangible!

Di Jingzhe's hairs stood on end. The Mind-Cultivation Technique in his Sea of Consciousness operated frantically, and the Zixiao Divine Thunder erupted recklessly!

"Body moves like thunder!" he almost roared!

Zzzt! Zzzt! Zzzt!

Three deep purple illusory shadows flickered simultaneously in three directions around his body, like flowers in a mirror or the moon in water—extremely unstable!

"Not enough! Your Divine Thought is scattered, losing track of one while attending to another! Focus on one point, unify your mind and thought!" The Profound Thunder Supreme's sharp shout was like a wake-up call.

In the spark of a flint, Di Jingzhe had a moment of inspiration. All his mental will and all the Zixiao Divine Thunder were poured entirely into sensing the most lethal lightning bolt directly in front of him!

"Move for me!"

He A roar in my heart, his body suddenly crashing toward the edge where the lightning bolt to his front-left was falling!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The three falling thunders exploded simultaneously!

Di Jingzhe's figure tumbled out wretchedly from the exploding thunder-fire and shockwaves!

The front-left he chose was precisely the relatively weak point where the power of the three lightning bolts intertwined!

Although it was his afterimage that was hit, the residual power still shook his blood and Qi, making his internal organs feel as if they had shifted, but in the end, he wasn't struck head-on!

"Finally, you're getting somewhere! You know how to make trade-offs and understand how to use momentum! But your movement is stiff and awkward! Continue!"

The Profound Thunder Supreme's voice remained cold, but Di Jingzhe could hear a faint, almost imperceptible trace of affirmation in it.

Di Jingzhe panted, his eyes showing no sign of retreat, only an ever-growing flame and increasingly clear insights.

Every time he was bombarded by thunder, every time he escaped death by a hair's breadth, his understanding of the Lightning Light Evasion Shadow deepened by another degree.

It was not just the application of spiritual power, but also an insight into the Thunder Origin, and an anticipation of space and attack trajectories!
