"Go!" Xiao Yi urged the Doomsday Sword. The sword radiance was instantly swallowed and rushed to the lightning like a fire dragon.

"Crack!" With a loud noise, the silver lightning was mixed up with the fire dragon-like Doomsday Sword. The infinite pressure immediately scattered, and the huge impact force almost blew the island away.

It was as though a bomb had landed on the ocean's surface, and the seawater rapidly spread out in all directions, creating huge waves.

The formation that Xiao Yi had just set above the island disappeared instantly.

The endless plants and vegetation were turned into powder in an instant and flew in all directions.

Under the lightning, the island became empty, and only Duanmu was still sitting cross-legged. His extremely strong body did not move under the huge impact force.

Xiao Yi involuntarily sighed in relief when he saw this scene.

However, before he could heave a sigh of relief, he suddenly heard a cracking sound from the Doomsday Sword.

As soon as the voice came out, Xiao Yi was shocked.

His Divine Awareness swept out, and his heart sank to the bottom.

There were cracks all over the Doomsday Sword from the thunder attack. As soon as the cracks formed, the Samei True Flame became unstable.

That was a flying sword made of Apocalypse Ironwood. It was hard and cold and could bear Samei True Flame.

When the thunder and the Samei True Flame coiled, the Doomsday Sword suddenly cracked.

Xiao Yi felt a sharp pain in his heart. Although it was inferior to the ancient sword or the Four Immortal Swords of Kunlun, it was refined by himself and was very suitable for him. He didn't expect it to split instantly under the lightning punishment.

However, at this moment, it was not the time to sigh and feel heartache, because another thick bolt of lightning had already flashed through the clouds, lighting up heaven and earth. With the power to tear apart the sky, it directly struck down.

Xiao Yi felt that something bad was going to happen.

Originally, the Heaven Catastrophe, triggered by the resurrection of this Ancient Corpse, was not at the same level as that of cultivators who ascended to heaven. It should not be very violent. However, the Doomsday Sword was almost destroyed in just one move.

Xiao Yi knew that it must be because of his participation. With himself as a cultivator in the Apotheosis Realm, Duanmu's Thunder Tribulation had become more than twice as fierce.

However, what could he do if he knew? At this moment, there was no way to retreat.

Seeing the other lightning heading straight for Duanmu with an earth-shattering momentum, Xiao Yi became extremely anxious.

If Duanmu were hit, he would suffer no matter how strong his physical body was.

He thought about the treasures on him. Probably the most durable of them all was the Chequ Lotus flower, but it was still hard to block this lightning bolt. The only one who would be able to withstand this would most likely be the Fire Dragon Cauldron, that ancient divine weapon.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yi's heart sank. He gritted his teeth, risking the danger of the Fire Dragon Cauldron being destroyed. With a shake of his hand, he released the large cauldron and moved it above Duanmu's head, taking a detour at the lightning bolt.

Once this was done, Xiao Yi's heart immediately jumped to his throat. The most frightening thing was that he heard another round of cracking sounds.

For him, the importance of the Fire Dragon Cauldron was incomparable. If he didn't have the Fire Dragon Cauldron, it would be hard to say if he could reach his current level. If it weren't for the fact that he had no other choice, he wouldn't have risked using the Fire Dragon Cauldron.

However, in the next second, a shocking scene took place.

Not only did the lightning bolt fail to cause the Fire Dragon Cauldron to crack, but it did not even make a muffled sound. Instead, it did not enter the Fire Dragon Cauldron at all and left without a trace.

"Ah? What's going on?" Xiao Yi was shocked. He immediately used his Divine Awareness to enter the Fire Dragon Cauldron to find out the reason.

Immediately, he found that the Feng Formation inside the Fire Dragon Cauldron was shining brightly.

The lightning that had just entered the Fire Dragon Cauldron was the Feng Formation.

At this moment, in addition to the bolt of lightning that had just entered the formation, another object stood upright in the air like a piece of burnt wood.

That lightning bolt spiraled around it before it was absorbed in an instant.

Xiao Yi's heart trembled when he saw this scene. He secretly cried out, "Yes, how did I forget about this thing?!"

This object was no other than the Thunderclap Wood that Xiao Yi had obtained from the ancient ruins.

On that day, Xiao Yi had cut off a piece of Thunderclap Wood and nourished it within the Fire Dragon Cauldron. He used every formation within the cauldron to refine it.

Now, the piece of Thunderclap Wood had just been transferred to Feng's formation.

Thunder and fire were Feng, and the divinatory words were: Lightning flashed, and thunder roared, making great achievements, like the sun in the sky.

This Thunderclap Wood was especially used to absorb the Lighting Power between Heaven and Earth. After a period of nourishing, its body tempering process had already reached its final stage. It was still one step away from complete mastery.

Xiao Yi accidentally sent a bolt of lightning into the Fire Dragon Cauldron at a critical moment.

As the saying goes- A spiritual object has its own spirits. It was about to form a Thunderclap Wood that completed its body. The moment it felt the intense power of thunder and lightning, it absorbed it on its own.

That was why the thunder and lightning, which could tear the heaven and earth apart, were absorbed so easily.

The whole process was simple, but it was also full of opportunities.

If it were too early, the Thunderclap Wood wouldn't be able to withstand this fierce thunder and lightning. If it were late, it wouldn't have been able to absorb the lightning so quickly by the day of its completion. Who would've known that it was just about to catch up to the day of its success?

Xiao Yi thought through the matter and could not help feeling overjoyed. How could he let go of such a rare opportunity? With the stimulation of his Divine Awareness, Xiao Yi released the piece of Thunderclap Wood out of the Fire Dragon Cauldron.

Once the True Energy was activated, the Thunderclap Wood piece was directly shot into the thick Calamity Clouds.

In an instant, the sound of "pi pi pa pa" could be heard.

Xiao Yi watched nervously. There was a flash of silver light in the clouds, but no more lightning was hitting it.

Xiao Yi was so happy until he was sure that this scene really happened. As expected, the piece of Thunderclap Wood was absorbing the thunder calamity. Xiao Yi just waved his hand and called back his Doomsday Sword.

Doomsday Sword resisted the thunder attack. At this moment, it was mottled and covered with cracks. Obviously, it was impossible for it to repair.

Xiao Yi sighed. But he also knew he would have to get a new one. So he shook his hands and put away the Doomsday Sword.

Then, he continued to stare at the Calamity Clouds.

The Calamity Clouds were still flashing with silver light. It was obvious that the cloud layer had become much thinner.

He could vaguely see that the piece of Thunderclap Wood was within the clouds, rapidly absorbing the lightning power.

This process was very strange, but it lasted for an hour.

Only when the Thunderclap Wood had absorbed enough lightning and turned from a pitch-black color to a silvery white did it finally stop absorbing.

The Calamity Clouds had already become thinner. The remaining lightning energy had finally turned into several tens of lightning bolts as thin as silver snakes. They rapidly charged toward Duanmu.

"Haha, this bit of lightning won't be able to stop me!" Xiao Yi saw that the Thunderclap Wood had absorbed an unusually fierce lightning tribulation, and it even completed the last step. The joy in his heart was hard to describe, and he couldn't help but laugh long.

The four wings on his back flapped, and he used his physical body to fend off all the dozens of lightning.

The dozens of lightning bolts only made the Silver-winged Robe flash with a layer of treasure light, but they did not cause any harm to Xiao Yi.

The sky gradually became clear, and the Calamity Clouds completely disappeared.

The Heaven Catastrophe that Duanmu's corpse resurrected ended in a rather strange manner.

Xiao Yi had lost the Doomsday Sword, but he also had finally achieved the final big success of the Thunderclap Wood. It could be said that it was a blessing in disguise.

He was full of pride. This unexpected result made Xiao Yi want to laugh. He also waved his hand and was about to recall the piece of Thunderclap Wood.

However, at this moment, he suddenly smelled a demonic power rising from the bottom of the sea.

"Hm?" Xiao Yi's heart tightened.

However, before he could reach his Divine Awareness, he suddenly saw a black-purple Demonic Energy rushing from the sea to Duanmu.

"Ah?" Xiao Yi had no time to ponder. In a flash, he appeared in front of Duanmu. With a thought, the Black Dragon Ring appeared in front of Duanmu. With a surge of his True Energy, the Black Dragon Ring danced in a ball of dark light, blocking off the purplish-purple Demonic Energy.

After blocking the Demonic Energy for a moment, Xiao Yi was greatly puzzled. "Duanmu was going through the ordeal. Why did he attract big demons? This is a matter that cannot be solved."

However, before this thought came to him, a purple shadow rose from the bottom of the sea. With lightning speed, it wrapped around the piece of the Thunderclap Wood in the air, which had absorbed the power of thunder. Then, it flashed away.

"Ah? What a demon! How dare he divert my attention?" Xiao Yi shouted and tore the void apart with his bare hands, hurriedly chasing after him.

It was obviously not an easy task to escape from the hands of a cultivator at the Apotheosis Realm.

In the blink of an eye, Xiao Yi arrived in front of the object and could finally see it clearly.

That thing was more than 100 feet long and looked like a huge purple snake. However, it had two feet on its belly and a bald right angle on its huge head.

"It's actually a purple flood dragon?" Xiao Yi felt a chill run down his spine.

Flood dragon, like a snake, belonged to a dragon family! It was an extremely rare thing. It was proficient in water and very lascivious.

Xiao Yi hadn't expected to encounter a purple flood dragon in the South Sea.

Judging from its cultivation, it was only at the peak of the Core Formation Realm. However, Xiao Yi also knew the flood dragon had a supernatural ability. He couldn't afford to take it lightly, even if it was only at the Core Formation Realm.

Xiao Yi moved the Black Dragon Ring and stopped in front of the purple flood dragon. He said in a low voice, "Spit out the wood, and I can spare your life."

Who would have thought that that thing was grinning. It was not afraid at all. With a wave of its body, it opened its mouth, and a water cannon shot out to attack Xiao Yi.

Taking advantage of Xiao Yi's dodge, it plunged into the sea.

"Do you think you'll be able to escape?" Xiao Yi could not help feeling a fire burning in his heart when he saw his Thunderclap Wood being snatched away. He tore the void open again and rapidly pursued it into the sea.
