Even though this vast sea of thunder echoed endlessly with earth-shaking, ear-splitting rumbles, every word spoken by that dazzling figure came through with absolute clarity. Set against the backdrop of the rolling thunder, they formed a bizarre rhythm.
That figure's entire body was covered in writhing, endlessly twisting arcs of lightning, radiating a terrifying thunderous aura. The whole figure exuded an overbearing, aggressive air, possessing an overwhelming presence that made it difficult to breathe.
Any creature lacking sufficient cultivation level or mental fortitude standing here, facing that dazzling figure, would likely choke on the spot.
"You are the will of thunder? And you intend to represent the enigmatic Heavenly Dao to judge me?" Ye Yunfei frowned upon hearing the cold words from the dazzling figure. The divine eye between his brows began operating at high speed, studying and analyzing the figure while simultaneously releasing his own Soul Power energy and mental power energy to sense it.
However, Ye Yunfei soon discovered that even before his Soul Power energy made contact with the dazzling figure, it was blocked by a fearsome thunderous aura.
Fortunately, his mental power energy could penetrate the defensive thunderous aura and directly sense the dazzling figure.
"I just searched through my racial memory and found information about a thunder-related race from ancient times, called the Primordial Thunder Tribe. It is said that the ancestors of this race were born from thunder spirits within a sea of thunder, later gaining life and racial bloodline, and gradually evolving into a race.
However, one of the greatest characteristics of this race is their extreme scarcity. The only energy and laws existing within a Primordial Thunder Tribesmember are thunder energy and the Thunder Laws. Since thunder energy is one of the most domineering and destructive energies in the world, even capable of self-annihilation, the difficulty for the Primordial Thunder Tribe to produce offspring is exceptionally high.
Apart from their extremely small numbers, this race also possesses other characteristics, such as the ability to control thunder energy and the Thunder Laws. It is said their bodies are constructed from thunder energy and the Thunder Laws, allowing them to perfectly merge with all thunder in the world and effortlessly control any lightning.
Every member of the Primordial Thunder Tribe possesses terrifying strength. Each tribesmember, upon reaching maturity, naturally attains power at the Chaos God level.
However, in ancient times, because the Primordial Thunder Tribe would often manipulate the Lightning Tribulations of other races, causing many to fall short at the final hurdle during their breakthrough attempts and perish amidst the lightning, they gradually provoked universal wrath. There was even a period in antiquity when the Primordial Thunder Tribe offended other particularly powerful races, leading to a joint crusade by many strong races. They were massacred, suffering heavy casualties, and eventually the entire race disappeared.
Therefore, legends say this bizarre ancient race, the Primordial Thunder Tribe, is extinct. Could this fellow before us be one of them?" Hun Lao suddenly transmitted to Ye Yunfei at this moment.
"The Primordial Thunder Tribe? A bizarre race whose bodies are composed of thunder energy and the Thunder Laws? Did such a race truly exist in ancient times?" Ye Yunfei couldn't help but feel somewhat surprised hearing Hun Lao's words.
"According to my racial memory, the Primordial Thunder Tribe did indeed exist in ancient times. Over the long river of history, many bizarre and rare races have existed; that's not strange. From ancient times to the present, too many races have been born in this world, and too many have perished," Hun Lao nodded.
"Although this fellow's body is composed of thunder energy and the Thunder Laws, he possesses a clear will and also life force. It can be confirmed he is a living being. So he is most likely the Primordial Thunder Tribe you mentioned. I never expected this race hadn't truly gone extinct, surviving to this day." After studying and analyzing the dazzling figure with his brow's divine eye for a while, Ye Yunfei had already determined it was a living creature, thus basically confirming it was the Primordial Thunder Tribe Hun Lao spoke of.
"You need to be careful. According to legends, the Primordial Thunder Tribe can perfectly merge with any lightning and control all thunder. The Lightning Tribulation you summoned has likely been completely taken over by this Primordial Thunder Tribesman. This place has become his domain. Hurry and find a way to leave; you won't be able to hold on much longer like this. The Primordial Thunder Tribe's own strength is terrifyingly powerful, and he is also controlling your tribulation. You likely aren't his match," Hun Lao said to Ye Yunfei.
"I advise you to cease your futile struggle. The Heavenly Dao's will cannot be defied; all things in this world must operate according to its will. So obediently surrender and be bound; your only end today is death." At this moment, the dazzling figure standing within the rolling thunder ahead spoke again. His icy words, set against the backdrop of the roaring thunder, sounded incomparably majestic, as if declaring Ye Yunfei's death sentence.
"You cannot represent the Heavenly Dao's will, nor do you have the qualification to judge me. Your Primordial Thunder Tribe committed heinous sins by slaughtering innocent lives in ancient times, leading to being besieged and deserving extinction. To think a remnant like you survived. Aren't you afraid of drawing the attention of the powerful races from back then, resulting in your utter annihilation?" Ye Yunfei's body was sent flying once more by the rolling thunder, but his physical body's constitution was truly tough. He stood up again, looking coldly at the dazzling figure amidst the thunder opposite him.
"What? You actually know my identity?" Upon hearing Ye Yunfei's words, the dazzling figure immediately lost its composure, speaking with a shocked voice.
"Master, that fellow really is a Primordial Thunder Tribesmember!" Hu Miao said.
"Yes, he indeed belongs to the Primordial Thunder Tribe," Ye Yunfei nodded.
"Your Primordial Thunder Tribe incurred universal wrath in ancient times precisely because you wantonly interfered with and destroyed others' Lightning Tribulations, leading to a crusade by the races of the world and bringing about catastrophic destruction. To think you, a remnant, failed to learn from the ancient lessons and still dare to intervene and sabotage my tribulation. Aren't you afraid your Primordial Thunder Tribe will provoke the wrath of the world's races once more?" Ye Yunfei said coldly.
"You little human brat, talking nonsense! Our Primordial Thunder Tribe is one of the most powerful races of antiquity and has never gone extinct. Those despicable so-called powerful races back then besieged us out of jealousy for our Primordial Thunder Tribe's might. All these years, our tribe has merely been lying low temporarily, not bothering with those so-called strong races. But we will definitely avenge the grievances from back then. Just wait, all who offended our Primordial Thunder Tribe will come to no good end! Brat, with me here, your Lightning Tribulation today will certainly not succeed. Go die!" The Primordial Thunder Tribesmember flew into a rage upon hearing Ye Yunfei's words, roaring furiously with a sharp voice. The Primordial Thunder Tribe, being composed of thunder energy and Thunder Laws, possessed tempers as volatile as lightning itself, flaring up at the slightest provocation.
As the Primordial Thunder Tribesmember grew furious, the amount of lightning above Ye Yunfei's head increased further, and their power intensified somewhat. The torrential thunderbolts, carrying an aura of world-annihilation, descended upon Ye Yunfei's head like an ocean.
"This guy is truly terrifying!" The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm exclaimed. Though hiding within the Illusionary Tower, he could still clearly sense the fearsome aura of the thunder outside.
Ye Yunfei immediately activated his movement technique to swiftly reposition while simultaneously releasing several dozen divine artifacts at the Greater Sovereign God level. Activating them, he hurled them upwards to strike the lightning descending from above. Ye Yunfei also unleashed a variety of techniques and martial skills, including fist techniques, sword techniques, and more, continuously combating the lightning overhead.
Moreover, Ye Yunfei took out a large batch of Formation Flags, repeatedly setting up arrays. Although these hastily formed formations were instantly destroyed amidst the rolling thunder, they still managed to somewhat diminish the lightning's power. Ye Yunfei also periodically took out a large group of puppets, sending them charging upwards towards the lightning. Of course, these puppets were instantly pulverized by the rolling thunderbolts, but they too weakened the lightning's force a little.
"Heh heh... Little beast surnamed Ye, now you understand the consequences of opposing our Guardian Faction? Today, your death is assured!" Just as Ye Yunfei was sent flying once again by the numerous, terrifyingly powerful thunderbolts, a cold chuckle rang out. Then, a figure shrouded in profound laws appeared at a location near the thunder sea. This figure's entire body was covered in laws, making it impossible to see his true appearance or perceive his true Soul Body aura.
"You're from the Guardian Faction? Is it your Guardian Faction behind this Primordial Thunder Tribesmember attacking me?" Ye Yunfei's gaze sharply shifted, locking onto the suddenly appearing figure, as he asked.
"Correct. This is the consequence of making our Guardian Faction your enemy. Little beast surnamed Ye, the losses you've inflicted upon our Guardian Faction are too great, absolutely heinous. But today, your judgment day has finally arrived!" The figure directly admitted, sneering.
"So that's how it is. It seems this Primordial Thunder Tribesmember was specially invited by the Guardian Faction to deal with you," the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm cried out.
"This guy is strong. I actually can't perceive his cultivation realm and strength. I suspect he might be a Chaos God. Dealing with this Primordial Thunder Tribesmember alone will be difficult enough for you; adding a Chaos God into the mix makes your troubles even greater," Hun Lao couldn't help but say with concern.
"Everyone brainstorm a way for us to possibly escape from here," Ye Yunfei said solemnly, knowing his current situation was indeed extremely perilous. With the slightest misstep, he could very well perish here today. Against both a Primordial Thunder Tribesmember and a Chaos God, he stood no chance whatsoever.
With a *bang*, Ye Yunfei was sent flying again by the dense barrage of thunderbolts. His body was now covered with large and small shocking wounds, each gushing divine blood. At this moment, Ye Yunfei's body was soaked in blood, appearing utterly miserable. Fortunately, the resilience of Ye Yunfei's physique was sufficiently tough, allowing him to barely endure within such a terrifying Lightning Tribulation this long. Were it any other Sovereign God, even a Eighth or Ninth Level Sovereign God, they would likely have perished countless times over already.
"I must admit, you little human brat, your body is too hard and your life too tenacious, actually persisting until now and still lively. You truly are a rare freak since time immemorial! Which makes it all the more imperative to not let you live." Seeing Ye Yunfei being forced back again and again by the thunder, yet standing up each time to continue resisting, the Primordial Thunder Tribesmember opposite couldn't help but comment.
"Indeed, this brat must not be spared. Today, we must utterly eradicate him!" the expert from the Guardian Faction added.
