Chapter 1488 Full Potential of Seven Colored Lightning!
"You should know fighting me is useless," the woman said with a confident smile as she looked at Max. Her voice carried a calm certainty as though she had already seen the outcome of the battle. "You cannot defeat me. None of the disciples of this weak clan could defeat me."
She tilted her head slightly as she continued speaking with a relaxed tone.
"In that case, we might as well have a healthy talk. If you manage to impress me, my original body might even come to recruit you."
"Enough nonsense!" Max muttered.
The moment his words fell, his entire body erupted with lightning.
Brilliant streams of energy burst forth from his figure and surrounded him in violent arcs. The lightning did not appear as ordinary electricity. Seven different colors flashed and twisted around his body as though they were living forces of destruction. Violet, Indigo, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, and Red colored lightning surged through the air, each one radiating a terrifying aura that carried the will of divine punishment itself.
This was the Seven Lightnings of Divine Punishment.
It was also the first time Max used the seven colored lightning of divine punishment as the foundation for Storm King's Divine Punishment.
In theory, the Storm King's inheritance had always been the weakest lightning inheritance within the chamber of inheritances in the Dimension of Lightning. Max had obtained it from the nearest island available to him at that time, and because of that its power and depth were far inferior compared to the more ancient inheritances hidden deeper within the dimension.
The weakness of the inheritance also meant that it carried many limitations. One of the most obvious restrictions was the fact that the Storm King's inheritance could only operate using red lightning as its base power. Every technique within the inheritance was designed around that single type of lightning, making it extremely difficult to evolve beyond its original framework.
However, Max had never been satisfied with that limitation.
For thousands of years within his Dimension of Time, he had continued experimenting with ways to change the very foundation of the Storm King's inheritance. He wanted to replace the red lightning that served as its base with something far more powerful. He wanted the inheritance to operate using the Seven Lightnings of Divine Punishment.
Yet no matter how many attempts he made, the structure of the inheritance resisted his efforts. The techniques refused to stabilize when infused with other lightning types, causing the entire method to collapse whenever he tried to alter it.
Everything changed when he obtained one of the most powerful lightning inheritances within the chamber of inheritances in the Dimension of Lightning.
The Forbidden Lightning Needle Divine Art.
The profound truths contained within that inheritance were vast and unfathomable. Its teachings revealed deeper laws about the nature of lightning itself and the ways different lightning energies could be refined and reshaped. Through years of careful study and relentless practice, Max gradually began to understand those profound principles.
Step by step, the insights from the Forbidden Lightning Needle Divine Art allowed him to break the restrictions that bound the Storm King's inheritance.
Through those insights he slowly transformed the foundation of the Storm King's techniques.
The original red lightning that once served as the core of the inheritance had now been replaced.
In its place surged the far more terrifying Seven Lightnings of Divine Punishment.
As the seven colored lightnings of divine punishment surged through his body, Max felt an unfamiliar sensation spread across his entire being. The lightning did not simply surround him or explode outward like it had during his previous battles. Instead it flowed directly through every part of his body, merging with his muscles, bones, and meridians.
Each strand of lightning pulsed like a living current that strengthened him from within. The energy coursed through his veins with terrifying vitality and the moment it settled into place Max felt as though his entire body had been awakened.
The sensation was completely different from how he had previously used the seven colored lightning. In all of his earlier battles he had treated the lightning as a purely external force. He would summon it outside his body and release it as destructive attacks that blasted his enemies apart with overwhelming power.
However he had never once used the seven colored lightning to enhance his own body in the same way he was doing now through the Storm King's inheritance. This method allowed the lightning to become the foundation of his speed and strength rather than merely a weapon he controlled from the outside.
"This is cool," Max muttered quietly.
The next moment his figure blurred.
Seven colored lightning exploded outward and his body turned into a flash of radiant energy. The brilliant arcs of lightning wrapped around his form as he surged forward with his sword raised high.
The speed he displayed at that moment surpassed every movement he had shown before. The Storm King's inheritance fueled by the seven lightnings of divine punishment transformed him into a streak of destructive brilliance as he appeared before the woman and slashed his sword down toward her.
Max's speed under the influence of the seven colored lightning had reached its peak.
Yet the woman moved even faster.
A long elegant bow suddenly appeared in her hand. Her expression remained calm as she lifted the weapon and intercepted Max's incoming sword strike with its sturdy frame.
CLANG!
The sharp sound of metal colliding against metal echoed across the entire arena. Sparks burst from the point of impact as Max's sword clashed against the bow with tremendous force.
The collision unleashed a powerful shockwave that swept across the battlefield. The ground beneath their feet cracked as the violent energy pushed both of them backward. Their feet slid across the stone surface as they stabilized themselves against the powerful recoil.
"You are very strong," the woman said as she steadied her stance. Her eyes remained fixed on Max with clear surprise written across her face. She had not expected the young man before her to possess such explosive strength.
Her gaze lingered on the lightning dancing around his body. The seven colored arcs flickered and twisted like living serpents as they continued to surge around him. For the first time since the battle began, she felt a faint sense of threat from the power he displayed.
