Chapter 1396: Xiao Fan’s Counterattack

Blood trickled from the corner of Xiao Fan's mouth as he glared at the Void Realm…

The thunderclouds in the Void Realm grew even more furious, desperately gathering their power…

It felt as if the entire Void Realm was on the verge of shattering, illuminated by streaks of black light.

"Boom."

The pitch-black heavenly thunder descended once more.

As Xiao Fan spat out blood, his Physical Body cracked even more severely.

"Ah!!!"

Xiao Fan roared amidst the heavenly thunder; his Physical Body was shattering and healing simultaneously, locked in a struggle against itself.

He survived this bolt of heavenly thunder unscathed as well…

"Three left…"

Xiao Fan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and smiled.

That's right, he smiled…

There was no anger; instead, he burst into laughter.

It seemed he was mocking the incompetence of the thunderclouds, unable to strike him dead even though he was just a Mortal, a Cultivator of the Yuding Realm.

"Boom."

"Boom."

Two terrifying bolts of heavenly thunder descended simultaneously, striking Xiao Fan's Physical Body in succession.

It seemed to want to destroy Xiao Fan in one go by amplifying its power with two bolts of heavenly thunder.

But…

"Mere heavenly thunder, what a load of crap!!"

Xiao Fan gritted his teeth, his eyes blazing with rage. Even as his Physical Body was continuously shattered by the heavenly thunder, there was not a hint of fear in his expression!

These two consecutive bolts of heavenly thunder combined still failed to finish off Xiao Fan…

"Hoo…" Xiao Fan let out a long breath. The robes on his body had long since turned to ash, his Physical Body was as black as charred coal, and it was covered in terrifying lightning…

"The last one… You'd better hit hard, otherwise… you will regret it."

Xiao Fan sneered at the dark clouds in the Void Realm…

"Hiss," "Hiss," "Hiss"…

The dark clouds in the Void Realm seemed thoroughly enraged.

Above the Void Realm, a human face coalesced…

Its eyes erupted with lightning, looking down at the Human Race beneath the firmament!!

"Hehehe… So there really is a spirit…" Xiao Fan muttered to himself.

His earlier guess had been confirmed.

This Secret Realm did indeed have a guardian spirit.

Terrifying lightning was gathering its strength… ripples of lightning surged through the Void Realm.

"Boom!!!"

The ninety-ninth terrifying bolt of heavenly thunder descended!!

It was also the final one!!

It was infused with the thundercloud's greatest power!

It wanted to blast this member of the Human Race who dared to provoke the gods into ashes!!

The Phoenix Dharma Image's cry echoed, and strands of Dragon Qi circled Xiao Fan's body!

Xiao Fan shouted, unleashing the full power of his Physical Body to withstand this final bolt of heavenly thunder!!

"Boom"…

This bolt of heavenly thunder tore through the Void Realm, filling the Secret Realm with terrifying black light.

"Ah!!!"

Xiao Fan roared; his Physical Body was constantly shattering and healing…

His soul light dimmed, then bloomed with brilliance once more…

The two sides continued to struggle, mutually grinding each other down!

"Boom"…

Xiao Fan's Physical Body collided with the heavenly thunder… eventually triggering a terrifying explosion that shook the Secret Realm.

Wave after wave of terrifying shockwaves swept in all directions…

The area for over a hundred miles where Xiao Fan had withstood the heavenly thunder was turned into charred land…

Upon seeing such an explosion, the face above the Void Realm curled into a sneer, but a moment later… the smile froze, and then it flew into a rage.

The dust from the intense explosion dissipated, revealing Xiao Fan standing tall in the Void Realm, his entire body pitch-black and covered in lightning scars.

"Is that all…"

Xiao Fan said indifferently, using words filled with infinite provocation to enrage the face above the thunderclouds.

The face was furious…

But the next moment…

"Eighth trial… passed."

A booming voice echoed between heaven and earth, though its tone was filled with astonishment.

The face on the thunderclouds was full of unwillingness… but the trial had been passed, and it began to gradually dissipate…

"Hehehe… Did you forget what I said… you will regret it!!"

Xiao Fan said coldly, his eyes fixed on the dissipating thunderclouds.

"Ah!!!"

Xiao Fan roared, and the Phoenix Dharma Image erupted with even more dazzling divine light!!

"Rumble."

The surrounding hundreds of miles shook, and Xiao Fan glared coldly at the Void Realm!!

"Divine Phoenix Slash!!"

"Boom."

The giant Phoenix wings flapped, and a terrifying crimson-gold divine light slashed toward the firmament!!

The face on the thunderclouds, which had been gradually dissipating, revealed unimaginable astonishment.

Clearly, it hadn't expected that this Yuding Realm member of the Human Race would dare to attack it!!

The divine light of the Divine Phoenix Slash, like a divine sword splitting the heavens and the earth, cleaved the face in the Void Realm's thunderclouds in two…

The face on the thunderclouds froze, and then it was split in two!!

"Boom"…

The rolling thunderclouds dissipated above the Void Realm.

It is impolite not to reciprocate.

Moreover… Xiao Fan had his reasons for doing this.

After the thunderclouds dissipated…

Xiao Fan looked at the Void Realm and muttered, "Could it be that I miscalculated?"

That last strike…

Xiao Fan had not only used his own spiritual power but had also utilized the power of the immeasurable divine pearl.

He wasn't just trying to destroy the thunderclouds.

He wanted to use this as a medium to draw out the spirit of the Secret Realm.
