Chapter 1195 1206: Lifebound Skill Revisited

The thunder from the heavens descended, striking directly towards the top of Wang Yan's head.

Wang Yan, whose lower leg was deeply embedded in the mud, lifted his leg and stepped out of the earth.

Just as Wang Yan stepped out, the lightning from the sky had already struck down towards his head.

Wang Yan calmly said, "Purple Flame Celestial Thunder!"

The demon was first startled by Wang Yan's words, then sneered, "So you have thunder too. No wonder you're so arrogant. But my thunder is the Ninth Heavy Thunder. How can your ordinary thunder compare to mine?"

As the demon spoke, Wang Yan raised his right hand, pointing with his index finger at the descending Ninth Fist.

Suddenly, from Wang Yan's fingertip, a bolt of lightning as thick as a finger shot out.

Seeing this, the demon was initially stunned, then couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Hahaha, is that all the thunder you've got?"

But before he could finish speaking, the demon was dumbfounded.

He realized that his Ninth Heavy Thunder started to tremble; though it descended with the force of a storm, it now seemed to stall.

The demon quickly looked down and saw his Ninth Heavy Thunder hovering in mid-air, trembling like a rabbit that had seen a tiger.

At this moment, the demon looked at the lightning from Wang Yan in terror.

Wang Yan's thunder was unmistakably purple, containing a terrifying power that made even the demon tremble.

With the appearance of this purple thunder, the entire world seemed to shudder.

"What kind of thunder is this? Why is it so terrifying?"

While the demon was terrified, Wang Yan's Purple Flame Celestial Thunder had already struck the Ninth Heavy Thunder.

The Purple Flame Celestial Thunder burrowed into the Ninth Heavy Thunder, and amidst a continuous "crackling" sound, the Ninth Heavy Thunder began to tremble more violently.

In the end, with a loud "boom," the Ninth Heavy Thunder vanished completely.

In the entire sky, only a small segment of the Purple Flame Celestial Thunder remained.

Although it was just a small segment, it seemed to be the center of the universe, compelling everyone who looked at it to worship it.

The Seven Great Elders were all visibly shocked. Though they had known Wang Yan for so long, they had never seen him unleash this Purple Flame Celestial Thunder.

Now, all Seven Great Elders had a profound respect for Wang Yan.

Though Wang Yan was still at the Demon Saint Great Perfection level, in the eyes of the Demon Venerables, he was unfathomable.

At this moment, the small segment of Purple Flame Celestial Thunder, having consumed the Ninth Heavy Thunder, still looked incredibly powerful.

Suddenly, the Purple Flame Celestial Thunder quivered and charged toward the demon.

The demon was startled. With this thunder that even the Ninth Heavy Thunder couldn't withstand, how could he possibly fend it off easily?

Thus, the demon didn't even think of resisting; he turned around to dodge.

But around the arena, there was the array the demon had set up earlier, trapping him, as he could only run in circles.

Previously intending to trap Wang Yan, the array now became his encumbrance.

The demon kept running within the array but couldn't escape the attack of the Purple Flame Celestial Thunder.

Seeing this, the Seven Great Elders were completely dumbfounded.

Who would have thought such a formidable demon would be chased by Wang Yan like this?

As the demon ran, he noticed the astonished gazes around him and seethed with anger.

But despite his anger, he dared not face the terrifying Purple Flame Celestial Thunder.

Watching this, Fang Hong burst into laughter, "Hahaha, demon, it seems even you have days like this!"

Hearing Fang Hong's laughter, everyone around joined in the laughter.

The demon felt fury boiling over; never since his cultivation had he suffered such humiliation.

Roaring angrily, he suddenly turned and swung a fist towards the approaching Purple Flame Celestial Thunder.

At that moment, Wang Yan raised his hand, and the Purple Flame Celestial Thunder flew back, being absorbed into his palm, disappearing.

This left everyone stunned, not understanding why Wang Yan would spare the demon's life.

Elder Si Qin asked, "Wang Yan, why don't you press the attack?"

Wang Yan smiled faintly and replied, "Elder Si Qin, I promised to take his three attacks. So after he delivers them, I'll attack."

Hearing this, Elder Si Qin and others praised Wang Yan's magnanimity but secretly lamented his naivety.

Only Wang Yan himself knew that although his Purple Flame Celestial Thunder was powerful, it lacked the force to finish off a strong Demon Venerable in one blow.

Though easily breaking the Ninth Heavy Thunder, it was due to both being thunder attributes, and the Purple Flame Celestial Thunder's extraordinary origin.

But his skill was still insufficient to unleash the Purple Flame Celestial Thunder's full power; a full attack from the demon would expose its weakness.

Thus, Wang Yan retrieved his Purple Flame Celestial Thunder, not only appearing stronger than the demon but also maintaining its mystery.

Indeed, the demon was deeply wary of the Purple Flame Celestial Thunder.

After a brief pause, the demon exhaled and said, "Wang Yan, if you had withdrawn your purple thunder, I would've spared your life, but due to one reason, I must kill you."

Hearing that there was a reason the demon must kill Wang Yan, everyone was puzzled. Did they know each other before?

Wang Yan's expression remained unchanged as he looked at the demon and said, "I presume you left Mozi Academy for the same reason, didn't you?"

The demon was stunned and replied through gritted teeth, "You know?"

Wang Yan said, "No one told me, but I guessed."

"What's the reason?"

"Simple, because of your greed and desire."

Upon hearing Wang Yan's words, the demon erupted in fury, saying, "Nonsense, the Chaos Bell should have been mine. Why didn't Wu Ancestor allow me to subdue it? But he kept studying how to conquer it? It's not my greed; it's his."

Although Wang Yan was unclear before, he now fully understood.

The demon surely intended to claim the Chaos Bell, but Wu Ancestor forbade it while researching it himself.

This is why the demon felt wronged and left Mozi Academy.

Also, the reason the demon wanted to kill him was because he knew Wang Yan acquired the Chaos Bell and wanted it himself.

But then Wang Yan wondered why Wu Ancestor didn't stop him when he subdued the Bell.

Could it be Wu Ancestor was too occupied in seclusion?

Seeing Wang Yan's realization, the demon knew he had been played and was filled with rage.

Watching the demon's furious expression, Wang Yan calmly said, "The Chaos Bell wasn't yours. Wu Ancestor can give it to whoever he wants. You trying to claim it isn't greed? Now it's mine. You want to kill me for it, and that's not greed? You blame others for your greed. You call yourself a demon, but your heart is even less than one. Such power is wasted on you."

The demon's face changed drastically after Wang Yan's rebuke.

All his life, others had praised him; no one had ever scolded him so.

Furious, the demon cursed, "Bastard, nobody dares speak to me like that. Today, I'll have you die under my Lifebound Skill."
