Ending of the Competition

The two forces collided with an earth-shattering impact. The arena was engulfed in a blinding light as the sheer power of the clash sent shockwaves rippling outward toward the sect.

The mountains surrounding the arena trembled, and spectators raised their own defenses to protect themselves from the rumbling energy waves.

When the dust finally subsided, a deep silence fell over the arena.

The ground where Lei Ming had stood was scorched and cracked. His body lay on the ground, his protective barrier completely shattered, his robes torn and burned. His body twitched from the residual thunder.

Shen Yuan stood straight with a calm smile on his face, his aura slowly calming as the residual lightning Qi dissipated from his body. He sheathed his Crimson Devourer while saying, "See? I took back my attack; otherwise, this arena would have been destroyed, and his body... well, let's just say he will be one with thunder."
