Chapter 580 - 587: Purple Cloud Divine Thunder

Her words were like a harsh slap to his face, mocking his foolishness.

He never expected that someone merely at the Body Integration Realm could possess such skill and actually put Gong Ye at a disadvantage.

The Snake Clan Leader was just as stunned. He stared at Song Wanning and barked, "Who in the world are you? Why have we never heard of you?"

It was impossible that they had never heard of someone with her level of skill.

Seeing that the two were about to turn on her, Song Wanning wasn’t the least bit afraid.

A faint smile played on her lips as she answered coolly, "Who I am isn’t important, is it? Our common enemy is Gong Ye. We should be working together."

"Don’t let Gong Ye lead you astray and make the wrong choice."

Song Wanning’s gaze drifted over to Gong Ye, and with a meaningful smile, she continued, "Flower Peacock was indeed trapped by me, but only because she tried to harm me."

"I had the power to kill her, but I chose to spare her life out of respect for the Peacock Clan."

"Besides, isn’t the Demon Race known for its unity? Who would have thought Gong Ye would suddenly strike her so viciously? That was something I never saw coming."

"What does her death have to do with me?"

She spoke with conviction; after all, she could have killed Flower Peacock with her own hands, but she hadn’t.

What happened after that was Gong Ye’s own choice. ’No one could pin that on me.’

The moment Song Wanning finished her explanation, the Peacock Clan Leader’s expression shifted once more. He glared at Gong Ye, his eyes filled with venom.

’She had a point. The main culprit in this was still Gong Ye.’

’Still, that woman wasn’t blameless either!’

’After I kill Gong Ye,’ he thought, ’I’ll make that woman pay the price as well.’

The Peacock Clan Leader charged at Gong Ye again. Despite being covered in wounds, his attacks remained just as vicious.

His attacks grew faster and faster.

The Snake Clan Leader saw this and threw Song Wanning a few more glances. He knew this was the perfect opportunity to take down Gong Ye, so he rejoined the fray.

The two of them used every move in their arsenal, a clear sign of their determination to kill Gong Ye.

Song Wanning didn’t leave, either. ’How could I miss an opportunity this good?’

A sharp glint appeared in her eyes. No longer holding back, she unleashed the Divine Skills she had only recently comprehended.

The Divine Skills of the Golden Dragon Clan were incredibly astonishing.

Leaving aside their innate Emperor’s Qi, the Supreme Dragon Flame alone was enough to make other Demon Cultivators dare not provoke them.

Golden Dragons could also summon clouds and rain, wield thunder and lightning, and even touch upon the Heaven and Earth Laws.

These included abilities like traversing the void and mastering the laws of time.

Song Wanning was only a novice at this point, but she had already grasped some of it.

Once she fully matured, she could even manifest a Fatian Xiangdi, truly blotting out the sky and sun.

And that was to say nothing of a Golden Dragon’s ultimate physical strength and unparalleled defense...

It was safe to say that, given enough time, Song Wanning would undergo a complete transformation.

In the future, she would be a formidable figure even in the Immortal Realm.

A cold glint flashed through Song Wanning’s eyes. The next instant, her form flickered and reappeared behind Gong Ye. She opened her mouth wide, and a torrent of Dragon Flame shot out, enveloping him.

At the same time, her fist shot swiftly toward Gong Ye’s side. As if she had anticipated his move, Gong Ye dodged the punch only to collide directly with the Dragon Flame.

"AAAAH—"

A heart-piercing pain shot through him. Even Gong Ye couldn’t hold back a scream as he frantically tried to pat out the flames.

But the Dragon Flame spread rapidly to other parts of his body. In the blink of an eye, Gong Ye was completely engulfed in a fireball.

He let out one pained groan after another as his vestment robe was incinerated at a rate visible to the naked eye.

Then came his tough physical body, which began to fester and char as it was seared by the Dragon Flame.

The air even began to fill with the smell of roasting flesh.

His face twisted in agony as he tumbled from mid-air, using every means at his disposal to put out the fire.

The two Clan Leaders were stunned by this scene.

They shot a wary glance at Song Wanning. Once full of confidence, they now finally realized she was anything but ordinary.

But this was the perfect time to finish off Gong Ye, so the two attacked again, holding nothing back.

How could Gong Ye possibly have the energy to fight back at a time like this?

Already injured, he was now in an even more desperate predicament.

He chose to endure the blows head-on and was sent flying.

He smashed straight through the room’s wall, crashing through several more rooms before landing heavily.

BAM—

Gong Ye landed heavily, and the next second, a bolt of Purple Cloud Divine Thunder shot straight down, slamming into his head.

The two Clan Leaders, who were about to give chase, froze in their tracks.

They whipped their heads toward Song Wanning, just in time to see her lowering her hand. The color instantly drained from their faces.

That was Purple Cloud Divine Thunder!!!!!

If the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder was a punishment from "Heaven," then the Purple Cloud Divine Thunder was a punishment from the "Dao."

It was a punishment from the very source of the laws; its wielder could even be called "the laws themselves."

Divine Thunder of this level was rarely even mentioned in records, let alone witnessed in person.

Now, they had not only seen it, but they had even seen its wielder...

They would never have believed it if they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes.

So now, the way they looked at Song Wanning was no longer just simple wariness.

It was fear!

Even though they themselves had already touched the threshold of the laws, they were still utterly terrified!!!

’What kind of monster is she, that she can even control the Purple Cloud Divine Thunder?’

It was all too surreal.

The two Clan Leaders were completely dumbfounded.

Song Wanning’s expression remained placid, but inwardly, she was just as shocked.

Although it had appeared in her inherited memories, seeing the violet Purple Cloud Divine Thunder for real still made her heart pound with tension.

The Purple Cloud Divine Thunder contained runes of the Great Dao...

’Unfortunately, my power is still too low,’ she thought. ’The Purple Cloud Divine Thunder I summoned was just a tiny fraction of its true might. Otherwise, Gong Ye would have been instantly reduced to ash the moment it landed.’

"Ugh—"

A sweet, metallic taste suddenly surged up her throat, and Song Wanning nonchalantly wiped the fresh blood from the corner of her mouth.

Summoning the Purple Cloud Divine Thunder consumed a massive amount of power. That one strike had drained most of the Spiritual Power in her body, leaving her unable to trigger it a second time.

’Perhaps it would be much better if I were in the Immortal Realm?’

Countless thoughts flashed through Song Wanning’s mind, but her gaze remained fixed on the two Clan Leaders as they attacked again. She couldn’t help but smile.

These two Clan Leaders truly hated Gong Ye to the bone.

Even with Gong Ye enveloped by the Purple Cloud Divine Thunder, they didn’t remain idle. Instead, they increased their output, seizing the opportunity to attack him.

Gong Ye’s agonized roars reached their ears; he must be in excruciating pain.

Unfortunately, the violet lightning completely submerged him, and not even they could clearly see what was happening within it.
