"This is?!"
Seeing this scene, Duan Tiande stood up directly, his face filled with surprise and shock. As one of the Lords of the Four Great Cloud Halls, he was naturally familiar with the Thunder Prison Eternal Induction.
It was rumored that the Thunder Prison Eternal Induction was once part of Extreme Martial Arts, and the founder of the Cloud Sea Sect relied on the Thunder Prison Eternal Induction and Thousand Clouds to dominate the world.
"Master, what is this?"
Duan Tiande rarely lost his composure like this, leaving Thunderstorm somewhat puzzled. After all, while the Thunder Prison Eternal Induction was immensely powerful, given Ye Tian's current strength, the power he could unleash was still far from its full potential.
"This is the Thunder Prison Eternal Induction..."
"Thunder Prison Eternal Induction?" Thunderstorm had been at Cloud Sea Sect for several years and had seen much, but he struggled to recall ever hearing this name before.
Duan Tiande no longer explained to Thunderstorm because involving something as confidential as the Thunder Prison Eternal Induction was beyond what Thunderstorm should know. Thus, any explanation would be futile.
Compared to Duan Tiande, Xuanyuan Changfeng and Qin Fufeng remained relatively calm, though their calmness was only relative. They knew that Ye Tian's imprisonment was deliberately arranged by Cloudscar, but they could not imagine that Ye Tian had managed to cultivate the Thunder Prison Eternal Induction to such a level in just four months.
Moreover, judging by the golden clouds and lightning, it seemed he had already perfectly fused Crimson Dragon's Golden Blood Power with the Thunder Prison.
"I see now..." Over there, Duan Tiande looked at Xuanyuan Changfeng and Qin Fufeng, whose faces showed a hint of joy, and suddenly felt enlightened.
"Master, what exactly is going on?" Thunderstorm was even more confused. He knew that the Thunder Prison Eternal Induction must involve some high-level secrets. But for him, who was practically recognized as the first among the younger generation in Cloud Sea Sect, this was the first time he felt so distant from the true core of Cloud Sea Sect.
"It can't be explained in just a few words; it seems Ye Tian cannot be kept here." A glint of coldness flashed in Duan Tiande's seemingly chaotic eyes.
In the arena, Li Xun's figure was trapped within a golden Thunder Prison, obscured from the view of outsiders. However, being inside felt like falling into the Heavenly Punishment of the Nine Heavens.
The violent power of the lightning made his head spin, nearly causing him to faint. No matter how formidable his Martial Arts of the Battle Body were, they were utterly ineffective against such extreme martial arts.
At the very center of the Thunder Prison, Ye Tian was not in a good position either. The Thunder Prison Eternal Induction was too domineering for him to maintain for long.
Moreover, the Cold Spirit True Meaning was not to be underestimated. Even within this Thunder Prison, a chill still permeated his entire body.
"Although the Thunder Prison Eternal Induction is indeed tyrannical and primarily offensive, I must find a way to eliminate the Chill within me," Ye Tian thought to himself, furrowing his brow. He felt sharp pains throughout his skin, muscles, and meridians, signs that he was being frozen.
"Ye Tian, I really underestimated you!" Li Xun gritted his teeth and said, even in such circumstances.
If it were anyone else, they would have long since succumbed to that overwhelming heavenly might. Yet Li Xun remained stubbornly unyielding due to his inner resolve.
"You've always misunderstood me." Ye Tian, who was gradually being frozen, was not feeling much better himself. If it weren't for the continuous flow of spiritual energy from his six Spirit Pouches slightly alleviating the Cold Spirit True Meaning, he would likely have shattered into ice crystals by now.
He was just curious why the Crimson Dragon Golden Blood, a substance of extreme fire, could not counteract the Cold Spirit True Meaning.
Li Xun did not continue the conversation; he understood what Ye Tian meant. He also realized that Ye Tian had no intention of vying for power against him. However, his jealousy was too strong; he could not tolerate Xuanyuan Changfeng's favoritism towards Ye Tian, nor could he bear Ye Tian's growing reputation and constant surpassing of him.
Currently, within Cloud Sea Sect, when mentioning Cloudscroll Pavilion, people's first impression was not Xuanyuan Changfeng or Li Xun but Ye Tian!
"If this continues, we will only end up hurting each other," Ye Tian advised. To be honest, Cold Spirit True Meaning could not inflict any substantial harm on him because as long as Li Xun was defeated, the Cold Spirit True Meaning would lose control and dissipate on its own.
However, the Thunder Prison Eternal Induction was different; the myriad Divine Thunders were not so easily controlled. If Ye Tian harbored thoughts of killing, Li Xun would be instantly obliterated without any chance for survival.
Thus, Ye Tian wanted to withdraw but he was not a pushover. The premise for him to back down was that Li Xun would stop being so stubborn and desperate. Otherwise, if Ye Tian withdrew directly, Li Xun might take advantage of that opportunity to inflict serious harm on him.
But even so, Ye Tian still left him a shred of face.
"No, it's not a mutual destruction; you can kill me," Li Xun said, his nostrils flaring slightly. He could not accept the compromise offered by Ye Tian because he knew that this compromise was actually an act of pity.
"I don't want to kill you. It's just some misunderstandings between us. I have no interest in the Chief of Cloudscroll Pavilion or even the Lord," Ye Tian's tone was cold, yet sincere.
Li Xun remained silent; he had already been severely injured by the Divine Thunderstorm and was barely able to protect himself, let alone continue speaking.
"Stand down," Ye Tianxin murmured, slightly reducing the intensity of the Divine Thunder.
"Impossible! One of us must fall today!" Li Xun felt somewhat relieved but remained stubborn.
"Why? Why do you force me?" Ye Tian was also somewhat angry. Logically, he had no reason to accommodate Li Xun; even if he directly killed him, no one would say anything, and others would feel no guilt. Yet Li Xun refused to back down and insisted on a fight to the death.
"I cannot accept being defeated by you. Even if you don't kill me, if I lose, my only choice will be to commit suicide." Li Xun did not take advantage of Ye Tian's momentary easing of pressure; it could be said that his jealousy was overshadowed by his strong sense of integrity.
"Then I'm sorry," Ye Tian felt the spiritual energy from his Spirit Pouch rapidly depleting. If this continued, he would be unable to resist the Cold Spirit True Meaning and would be frozen into ice crystals.
Li Xun knew his time was running out and simply closed his eyes, saying softly, "Before I go, I have one request."
"Speak; as long as I can do it." In this situation, Ye Tian felt somewhat uncomfortable. Today's Li Xun reminded him inexplicably of Guan Yangyu from back then.
"Never let Master down," Li Xun sighed deeply after speaking. He knew that as the chief disciple, he had not shown the kindness and care expected of a senior brother since Ye Tian's arrival, which had greatly disappointed Xuanyuan Changfeng. Thus, he wanted to make amends for this mistake through Ye Tian.
Ye Tian did not speak. At that moment, he suddenly felt that no matter what, he could not allow Li Xun to lose his life.
"Go ahead!" Li Xun gave up resisting. With a thought, the Cold Spirit True Meaning quickly dissipated from Ye Tian's body, and the protective Martial Origin Power surrounding him began to gradually fade away.
Ye Tian was shocked. The Divine Thunder unleashed by the Thunder Prison Eternal Induction was countless times more powerful than real lightning. Without the protection of Martial Origin Power, Li Xun would have been instantly obliterated.
"You've gone mad!" Ye Tian shouted, forcibly dispersing the golden clouds above his head, causing the myriad Divine Thunder to extinguish.
Pfft!
A mouthful of fresh blood spewed out, and Ye Tian immediately became weak. An explosion sound emanated from within him, a terrifying noise as if his internal organs had been shattered.
The backlash from the Thunder Prison Eternal Induction was something that even a mere three-stage Martial Sovereign like him could hardly withstand. Even a strong Martial Sovereign would likely struggle against it.
This scene unfolded too suddenly. Ye Tian had initially held the upper hand but unexpectedly began to cough up blood and fainted.
The crowd erupted in chaos, especially Xuanyuan Changfeng and Qin Fufeng, who looked on in shock before quickly rushing to Ye Tian's side.
At the same time, Duan Tiande was equally puzzled and hurried over to investigate.
"Ye Tian!" Yun'er, Cold Moon, and Duan Liu were all alarmed, feeling their hearts churn upon witnessing this scene.
Li Xun stood frozen in place, his mind blank. He looked at Ye Tian, whose face had turned pale and whose life force was rapidly fading, feeling a mix of emotions.
"Damn it, damn it, damn it!" Qin Fufeng exclaimed in agitation, pulling out precious spirit herbs from his Xumi Ring and stuffing them into Ye Tian's mouth.
Xuanyuan Changfeng's face twisted as he generously channeled his Martial Origin Power into Ye Tian's heart vein to temporarily alleviate his injuries.
As for Duan Liu, he was already dumbfounded. Cold Moon cried out loudly while Yun'er fainted directly.
They had seen scenes of life and death before, but this time, the speed at which Ye Tian's life force was dissipating was something anyone could feel.
It was a feeling infinitely close to death, a feeling of helplessness.
"Hmph, self-inflicted misfortune cannot be lived through." Duan Tiande secretly laughed to himself. From the moment Ye Tian unleashed Thunder Prison Eternal Induction, he had made up his mind to eliminate Ye Tian by any means necessary, as Ye Tian had already come into contact with the core of Cloud Sea Sect.
"Master, is he beyond saving?" Thunderstorm also wore a face of glee, though he seemed a bit disappointed, probably because he couldn't personally teach Ye Tian a lesson.
"Save him? Heh heh, after suffering the backlash from Thunder Prison Eternal Induction, who can save him?" Duan Tiande sneered without any pretense.
At this moment, Qin Fufeng had already stuffed all the available Spiritual Pills into Ye Tian's abdomen. He had heard Duan Tiande's words long ago and had been holding back until now.
"Duan, get lost immediately, or don't blame me for being merciless!" Qin Fufeng shouted coldly, and at the same time, an unprecedentedly fierce aura swept through the area.
Everyone present felt a sudden chill in their hearts; just Qin Fufeng's presence made many tremble.
"What do you mean? Ye Tian isn't even your Azure Cloud Pavilion disciple." Duan Tiande was in high spirits at this moment and did not fear Qin Fufeng.
"Shut up! If you dare say another word, I'll take your life right now!"
In that moment, because of Ye Tian, Qin Fufeng's dominance was revealed for the first time before the disciples of Cloud Sea Sect.
