Chapter 8;

The Thousand light silver moon blade had nine techniques, these techniques needed specific conditions to be triggered with soften levels of Thunder and Space law comprehension, the first move named the Myriad sword formation was meant for Planet level warriors.

It required the use of fifteen silver moon blades to trigger fifteen blade formations that can condense thunder energy into phantom bades to attack, its ultimate form required a total of 20 blade formations which would mean co trolling 20 objects.

It was a miracle that Lei Jing could control 18 objects at his level twenty were slightly beyond him at the moment, the unrivalled form of this move had endless sword formations and the power contained was a sit describes unrivalled.

That was a skill meant for universe level warriors, this move simply needed one to have a very high affinity with lightning energy which is only available to those that awakened the high level Thunder element as the lords of thunder.

As such this technique was very suitable for Lei Jing and with his 18 blades its power wa almost at the ultimate level, when integrated in a domain its power is almost doubled, it's a pity that he hasn't awakened his domain yet or else the phantom blades wouldn't have been dissolved that easily,

However what happened had already passed he couldn't bring it back, now he just needed to breka that defence first, so he recalled the eighteen blades leaving the formations to drain the energy they had absorbed before before disipating.

But while they still had some power he used the second move of the Thousand lights silver moon blade, the Electric eel formation, suddenly the eighteen bades moved around combining together one on top of the other until they formed a life like silver electric eel from silver moon blades,

The silver eel was swimming through the air however its movement wasn't as fluid as it should be because it still lacked atleast two silver moon blades, but even then the oppressive force it contained wasn't to be doubted.

Chen Xin suddnely felt his soul tremble meaning there was an oncoming threat to his life, for his soul to tremble would mean the flowing water dome wouldn't be able to dissolve this attack.

As the phantom blades vanished he realized that an almost life like electric eel had formed from Lei Jing's eighteen silver moon blades, the connection points of the blades formed a kind of formation that condensed thunder energy around the electric eel into a makeshift body for the electric eel.

The thunder angry was extremely terrifying that even he felt threatened by it, as expected ot the young master, previously many people were defeated by this move and even ninth step warrior defences were shattered and they had to flee from it.

Seeing this move Chen Xin suddnely Chose to take this seriously with a move of his hand the air around him turned moist before condensing into water energy, his was his domain,the Azure dragon domain, as it appeared, the surrounding 50 meters were covered with condensed heavy water and even the dome was reinforced.

Three moves in and he still hadnt attacked yet, Lei Jing released his electric eel and he poured all be had into it, the eel swam through the air gathering lightning energy at its tail,its speed was remarkable as it even left after images in its wake as it moved,

It arrived in the Azure domain and its speed slowed down slightly that it lost its after images but it was still moving fast, the water element in it's way wa being vaporized generating steam at it's back,

When it recahed the flowing water dome the two collided and generated a shock wave but the dome held the eel back, sudenely the lightning that was streaking at the back all condensed around the eel and its attavking power was strengthened,

Chen Xin femt the limits of the dome tested however just then he felt the law powe step out of his body clearly intending to reinforce the dome even more, if it did this move would be stopped in its steps however this would be a huge bow to Lei Jing.

So after thinking for a while Chen Xin held back the law power and chose to compete with elemental power alone, although each of his moved had some law power in them, that power was impky auxiliary it wasn't as good as the power directly injected into the move by him.

When he did that the dome couldn't hold on anymore and so it started cracking before it finally shattered, however it had also eroded the electric eel's energy leaving only the blades with their body having dissolved, the eel moved towards him and he raised the herd to defend himself but the blow was much more than he had expected it to be.

Despite his strength and defence, he was still blown backwards atleast 20 meters before he fully dissolved it, however this move alone shocked several ninth step planet level warriors, many of them had experienced first hand the power of that move and none of them could hold it back.

However a fifth step kid had successfuly dissolved this move, this alone was a great accomplishment, however someone else was in even greater shock, as the one with the greatest law accumulation Lei Bing was highly sensitive to law energy fluctuations.

Earlier on he had felt a surge of water law energy, he was so familiar with this power as he had once fought against an opponent with water law and it wasn't an easily won battle, although the defensive power of the water law wasnt as good as the ground law, it wa much better than the defensive power of the gold law

A few minutes earlier when the eel collided with the dome he sensed a minor water law fluctuation however it soon vanished, but from the intensity of that law power he knew that had it integrated with the dome the eel would have been fully dissolved without use of the domain, in essence Chen Xin could win without taking any step.

This fight would have ended there and then, however the power was retracted, could it be that Chen Xin didn't know how to integrate law power into his moves yet, however that was highly unlikely, for someone that can condense law power at that age and realm, integrating law power into their moves was a walk in the park.

There was only one viable explanation, Chen Xin intentionally restricted the strength of his move allowing the electric eel to pass through, perhaps he wanted to test the actual strength of that move but Lei Bing found one possibility to be the most likely one.

He wanted to give Lei Jing some hope in this confrontation depsite the fact that the latter had been fully suppressed, such a supression can have negative consequences on one's will power most especially if it comes from one of lower class and lower cultivation.

Defeat is always an option in a confrontation but the form of defeat also greatly matters, the fact that Chen Xin could think of this and save his master some face meant he was way more valuable than they had previously thought, perhaps his position should be reconsidered. Maybe a little suppression I helpful for his son after all his victories before had given him some sense of accomplishment.

That needs to be shattere before he can focus on his cultivation with a firm goal of surpassing Chen Xin, with this in mind the voice of he family head echoed throughout the arena as he told Chen Xin to take this duel more seriously and stop holding back anymore.

He reveals that this duel was initiated by his master and as such any consequences he duel will have to be shouldered by the defeated party. He was already certain what the outcome of this duel would be o there was no need delaying it.

Hearing his voice not only Lei Jing but everyone else was shocked, Lei Jing had used his two most powerful moves and only managed to move Chen Xin 20 meters but now they learn that the latter has been holding back this entire time, what would happen of he took this fight seriously,

They were soon about to find out because in response to the command Chen Xin simply responded with a yes Lord, this confirmed that he was indeed holding back, even Chen Xin was surprised he thought he had hidden himself well enough, he didn't think the lord could still see through him.

It probably had something to do with that law powe the held back, if it wasn't for that perhaps even the lord wouldn't have seen through his pretense, however now that e had been commanded, the slave seal had trembled meaning this was a command he couldn't disobey.

He fully unleashed his strength, and to everyone's shock the aura that had been settled at the fifth step sudenely skyrocketed into the seventh step, this was also the benefit of fhe dragon body transformation, it tenporarily raised his fighting strength by two levels meaning spirit masters really had no advantage against him.

He was the natural bane of their power, with his power at the seventh step, the water domain expanded to cover the entire arena and the thunder energy ended up localizing only a few meters around Lei Jing but the rest of fhe Arena was shimmering with wave live Azure energy,

This was the power of the water laws, yes he had integrated law power into his domain directly, sudenely Lei Jing felt the aur had become heavy and moist affecting his lightning energy conductivity, his speed dropped greatly and his body suddenly became heavy,

This was the first of the innate moves of his domain, heavy water mist, not only did it increase his defense, it also made the opponents bodies heavy and slow while he retained his speed.

As they watched dragon wings appeared on Chen Xin's body, these were actual drgaon wings and not those projections that had appeared before, the wings were covered in blue green scales but with their appearance a faint chill seeped into Lei Jing's bones.

Sudenely there was a sound of breaking winds Chen Xin swung his halberd and launched off against Lei Jing, facing this abrupt attack. Lei Jing's body reacted instinctively as he Dark clouds shuttle sliced through the mist moving him a few meters away but as he left the halberd sliced the air right where he was,

Had he been in the same place, he wouldn't have survived that attack, if he didn't die he would break most of his bones, as the attack landed, a crater was blown in the arena, that force was equivalent o an all out attack of a peak seventh step planet level warrior,

Even Ninth step powerhouses needed to be careful against such an attack let alone a sixth step Lei Jing, however this brought his mid to attention, the threat of life and death was a great catalyst for critical thinking, he moved away as the Halberd was swung ince again nearly relieving him of his head.

They had been working down on the defensive Chen Xin and now he had been unleahsed by he Lord, the command along with the slave contract on his soul meant he wouldn't b holding back anymore and he would attack with the intent to kill.

As Lei Jing was fleeing sudenely Chen Xin clenched his left hand and h Azure energy on the floor suddenly turned violent as water tornadoes sudenely started rising from the ground, the entire arena turned into a raging ocean as a sea storm brewed without any thunder contained within it,

This wa just pure water drawing assistance from the wind element to condense into a sea storm. Suddenly Lei Jing's escape route wa greatly disrupted while Chen Xin was still approaching with murderous intent, he soon caught up with a fleeing Lei Jing and swung his halberd and struck at him.

Unable to escape from the attack Lei Jing released his defensive treasure the Leve 5 genetic weapon Xuanwu shield, the shield was made from the back of a giant Xuanwu Turtle and it had the properties of heavy water,

Normally such a shield would display its best effect in the hands of someone like Chen Xin but other warriors could still use it, as Lei Jing activated the shield a projection of the Xuanwu turtle appeared sealing Lei Jing within it.

However Chen Xin's strike was accompanied by a sonorous dragon chant as it landed on the turtle, to everyone's astonishment thr turtle was blown away and as it landed on the ground the turtle cracked but it still held, however that wasn't the end.

Chen Xin prepared his halbert and thrust it at Lei Jing, as the Halberd flew, it was encased in Azure energy that took the form of a dragon head swallowing the halberd. It landed on the turtle and the turtle shattered like glass before the halberd passed through impacting the shield itself directly,

Lei Jing was blown away creating a mark 50 meters long in the arena, as the halberd returned to Chen Xin's hand, the Sheild was dented where the halberd struck it and Lei Jing's arm was broken, but that still wasn't all,

Chen Xin still attacked, he flashed so fast that he was behind Jing who was just getting to his feet, feat struck his heart as death closed it because Chen Xin had swung the halberd to cultivate him clean through the chest,

Facing imminent death, his Star eating armor apeared around his body instinctively and took the strike but Lei Hing was still blown away 100 meters to the other end of the Arena, in that instant another wave of energy passed through the Azure domain as ice power sudenely seeped in,

Clad in armor Lei Jing stood up to find himself bound by enormous Ice chains and on the other end of the Arena Chen Xin was taking aim. His halberd was covered in Azure energy and lines of ice blue engravings were running across its surface, Azure energy was condensing on the halberd atba very fast pace until the moment he released it.

The halberd generated a sonic boom upon its release and it headed towards Lei Jing at a speed faster than sound, bound by ice Chains Lei Jingcouldnt dodge because even these ice chains had secret engravings flowing on them and they greatly suppressed the Star eating armor's functions making it too cold to react fast enough.

Lei Jing was stick in a situation here even if the Armor's natural defence stops that strike the effect carried over would shatter most of his ribs and probably harm a few of his vital organs. He needed to do skmetjing and he needed it fast, he had been at the bottleneck of the sixth step for a while now.

In the heatbkf the moment he suddenly broke through to the seventh step and with the experience he had of Chen Xin's domain the breakthrough to the seventh step sudenely allowed him to condense a domain, as this happened sudenely he exploded with silver blue lightning shredding the ice chains and reactivating the star eating armor.

However that attack was still coming for him and in that desperate moment he summoned his Thousand Lights silver moon blade triggering the electric eel formation and far away in the arena, the blade reacted,

Shockingly, 19 blades detached this time and formed an almost life like eel that swung through the mist so fast it was almost imperceptible, once it entered the thunder domain it sudenely broke through the speed of sound as it intercepted the halberd.

The collision blew both Lei Jing and the attacking Chen Xin backwards, unfortunately Chen Xin got up first, he summoned the halberd and prepared to attack again when a voice resounded through the arena, ordering him to stand down. With this command he halted his movements and he recalled the Azure dragon domain,

The Blue green scales vanished from his body as he returned to his regular size as a fourteen year old teenager, the wings vanished as well and everything returned to normal, even his face regained calm as the murderous intent vanished in seconds and it was like he hadnt done anything at all.

The energy in his body returned to the peak of the fifth step and he seemed like he had just gone on a stroll, clearly he hadn't exhausted his foghting capability yet and the genius young master was already in danger of death.

Lei Jing recalled his armor and he sat down and closed his eyes, blood seeped out of his mouth and his hand was visibly broken, Lei Bing appeared in the Arena and the rushed to Lei Jing, after checking on him slightly, he ordered Lei Jing to return to his cultivation chamber and recover his body.

In a flash of lightning Lei Jing flew away, then Lei Bing turned to Chen Xin who was still following the flight path of Lei Jong with his eyes, however deep in there Lei Bing saw some tace of guilt and regret, clearly this wasn't what he wanted but with the slave contract he couldn't stop himself.

Lei Bing suddenly realized just what he had done, although his son had succeeded in awakening a domain he nearly died in the process, if the star eating armor hadn't manifested on him in time perhaps they would be looking for life saving secret treasures at this moment.

Although his theory of pressure awakening potential proved successful he threat was way too high, also he had forcefully ripped Chen Xin's choice away from him, he ha turned him into a mindless robot whose only thought was to kill his opponent, although they had cast a slave contract on him this wasnt what they had intended to use it for.

He faced Chen Xin asking of he was okay, Chen Xin looked at his hands that still had a slight tremor in them and he said that he will be fine, it just felt strange, all that killing intent impacting his mind, he says that he didn't know he was capable of that much violence.

Lei Bing feels guilty for a moment but doesn't show it, he simply states that the dragon is a pinnacle bloodline, all pinnacle bloodlines have powerful fighting capabilities that he was just now starting to touch.

He says that in the future that ferocity could save the lives of both him and his master. Chen Xin looks up on the mention of his master and he simply agrees, Lei Bing is pleased by this and he says that the halberd is his reward for this victory.

After which he turns to everyone else, the entire arena had turned silent, there were no cheers, no rumbling noises no nothing just utter silonce, whatever was being said in he arena spread to the ears of everyone and hey all felt pity for Chen Xin.
