If he didn''t act now, he would surely meet his demise.


    With a surge of determination, he took a deep breath.


    /RUMBLE/ /CIIZZT/


    Lightning began to dance across the sky.


    Chen Tian could feel the lightning coursing through his veins, empowering him.


    He gathered all his strength andunched a series of potent attacks at the dragon.


    The scorching heat intensified as lightning erupted from his fingertips.


    The dragon roared in pain and fury, but Chen Tian held his ground.


    The sweat on his body evaporated instantly under the intense heat, leaving him with renewed vigor.


    As he fought with every ounce of his being, he could feel his body and soul pushing past their limits.


    Muscles ached and screamed for relief, but he ignored the pain and focused on defeating this formidable foe.


    With each strike, he could hear the dragon''s scales crack and see its once mighty wings falter.


    He was pushing not just his physical body but also his very soul, using a greater portion of the lightningw.


    He reached a staggering 70% proficiency, a level typically achievable only by those in the Golden Core Realm.


    His sword sliced through the dragon''s tough me scales effortlessly, leaving deep gashes in its fleshy, me made body.


    The dragon roared in agony, its fiery breath weakening with each passing moment. As the battle raged on.


    Chen Tian''s mastery of the Lightning Law had reached 90%, a level typically expected of a cultivator at the Soul Formation Realm.


    The overwhelming power surged within him, causing his body to emit a dazzling aura.


    With unwavering resolve in his gaze, he unleashed a devastating strike, sending shockwaves rippling through the air.


    "ROARR!!!!"


    The dragon was clearly displeased by this; its ws and tail had turned into fiery weapons.


    Evidently, the dragon had foreseen Chen Tian''s action.


    |nggg///BOOM|


    The sh between the me dragon and Chen Tian''s sword was a sight to behold.


    As the two formidable forces shed, the sky seemed to catch fire as thunder roared and lightning crackled.


    The ground beneath them shook violently, causing cracks to form and fissures to open.


    -verified


    Chen Tian wielded his lightning sword, crackling with raw energy.


    With every swing, arcs of lightning danced along its edge, adding an electrifying element to his already formidable attacks.


    He moved with agility and precision, his Heavenly Lightning Steps Second Step technique allowing him to dart several meters away in the blink of an eye, just narrowly escaping the dragon''s searing breath.


    The battle raged on, a dance of fire and lightning that painted the battlefield with spectacr disys of power.


    Chen Tian''s lightning-infused strikes found their mark, leaving scorching trails on the dragon''s scales.


    The dragon, in turn, countered with ferocious swipes of its fiery ws and tail, each blow threatening to engulf Chen Tian in searing heat.


    |BAM|


    Chen Tian was sent flying through the air, crashing into the ground.


    "Cough, cough!!"


    He coughed blood as his body ached, and his vision blurred as he struggled to regain his footing.


    The dragon, sensing victory, let out a thunderous roar and lunged towards him, jaws open wide.


    Chen Tian immediately reacted; now, he was using the full power of the lightningw at 100%.


    His soul bore an overwhelming burden, a weight typically seen only in the powerful of Soul of a Soul Formation Realm cultivators.


    The crackling energy surged around him, intertwining with his focused concentration. Beads of sweat formed on his forehead as he channeled the formidable power of the lightningw.


    |BAM|


    The dragon''s jaws opened wide and chomped down on thin air as Chen Tian swiftly dissipated the attack with lightning speed.


    Reappearing meters away behind the me dragon, Chen Tian''s sword of lightning was now different as 100% of thew of lightning was infused into it.


    The crackling energy surrounding him intensified, causing the air to vibrate with raw power.


    Both Chen Tian and the me dragon bore multiple injuries from their intense battle, with Chen Tian clearly in the more severe condition.


    His body throbbed with pain, the result of burns and cuts inflicted by the me dragon''s scorching breath and razor-sharp ws.


    Not only that, but due to pushing his control over the power of thew to a level beyond what his body and soul could bear, Chen Tian''s physical body on the staircase began to exhibit clear signs of deterioration.


    Blood came out of his nose and eyes as the immense strain on his body became too much to bear.


    Fortunately for him, his situation went unnoticed since his back was facing the participants. Only Long Wei and Su Linhua observed the unfolding events.


    Had Chen Tian been battling with his actual physical form, he wouldn''t have been capable of harnessing such a significant amount of lightning power.


    However, due to the fact that this was not transpiring in the real world, he found himself able to wield such immense power.


    He struggled to stay on his feet; his breathing was ragged andbored.


    Every movement sent waves of pain coursing through his battered body, but he refused to give up.


    He tried to use every bit of Spiritual Qi in his body.


    Within his dantian, an overwhelming quantity of Qi, far beyond what a Qi Refinement stage should contain, began to surge.


    This surge caused his body to quiver with an energy that he struggled to control.


    The Lightning crystal started to shine brightly.


    The power of the crystal was infused with his Qi, empowering him beyond his limits.


    With renewed determination, Chen Tian felt a surge of lightning coursing through his veins. He knew that it was hisst attack if he wanted to win.


    His next move had to be the one that defeated the dragon.


    /RUMBLE/ /CIIZZT/


    The red sky started to crackle, and the ground trembled beneath Chen Tian''s feet.


    The Lightning crystal unleashed a blinding bolt of electricity inside Chen Tian Dantian, as if a storm had been brewing within him all along. The sheer power of the Lightning Law surged through his entire body.


    Like a god of thunder, Chen Tian''s body was now infused with the raw power of lightning. His muscles bulged and crackled with energy, and his eyes glowed with an electric blue light.


    With a newfound sense of invincibility, he raised his sword high above his head, ready to strike down the dragon with his next attack.


    The dragon sensed the tremendous power radiating from Chen Tian and promptly unleashed another burst of fiery breath, its mouth agape.


    "Hisss...."


    Chen Tian let out a deep breath.


    ''Lightning Law: 100%''


    ''Annihtion Sword. Last Breath.''
