Chapter 29 - The Clash of Thunder, Life and Death on the Line (Part 2)

The atmosphere on the competition platform became increasingly solemn. The standoff between Lin Tian and Mo Tiancheng seemed to suppress the entire world in silent tension. Dark clouds rolled in the sky, thunder rumbled, and it seemed as if only the confrontation between the two remained between heaven and earth. All the disciples watching held their breaths, knowing that this battle would determine today's grand competition champion, and the intensity of this battle far exceeded expectations. "Lin Tian, there must be a winner between you and me today!" Mo Tiancheng's voice was exceptionally clear amidst the thunder. His gaze was cold, and the thunder power within him had reached its extreme. The whole person seemed ready to unleash earth-shattering thunder power at any moment. Lin Tian remained silent, his eyes like lightning. He could sense the terrifying power within Mo Tiancheng. This battle was not only a contest of cultivation but also a confrontation of will. Every moment of the standoff made him feel tremendous pressure, but at the same time, his fighting spirit continued to rise. Mo Tiancheng's figure suddenly moved, instantly transforming into a bolt of thunder with a speed so fast that it was hard to grasp. At the same time, a powerful thunder spear condensed between his hands and fiercely stabbed at Lin Tian. This strike seemed as if it would tear the entire competition platform apart. Lin Tian did not dare to be careless. The thunder power within him quickly condensed, and a flash of thunder light appeared in his hand. A thunder sword light met the thunder spear. The two powerful thunder powers collided in the air, immediately erupting in a deafening explosion. Electrical light scattered everywhere, and the entire competition platform seemed to be shrouded in thunder and lightning. "Boom!" The thunder sword light and the thunder spear collided in the air, and their powers continued to contend. A strong sense of oppression filled the air. The two forces were deadlocked in the air, and electrical sparks shot out as if all the thunder power between heaven and earth was drawn at this moment. "Mo Tiancheng's thunder power is so strong. I can't confront him head-on!" Lin Tian thought to himself. He quickly retreated several steps and, with the cover of the thunder light, avoided the follow-up attack of the thunder spear. Seeing this, Mo Tiancheng sneered: "You dodged quite fast, but do you think you can escape my attacks like this?" Before his words finished, he waved his hand forcefully. The dark clouds in the sky immediately rolled, and several thunder powers transformed into a rain of thunder arrows, instantly blocking all of Lin Tian's retreat routes. This strike was extremely fierce, as if it was everywhere. No matter how Lin Tian evaded, he would be shrouded by thunder and lightning. Lin Tian's gaze concentrated. The spiritual energy within him circulated rapidly, and a thunder barrier quickly condensed between his hands, blocking in front of him. "Boom boom boom!" The rain of thunder arrows frantically bombarded the thunder barrier, emitting earth-shattering sounds. Each collision caused a huge consumption of Lin Tian's spiritual energy, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. "Mo Tiancheng's attacks are too fierce. I must find an opportunity to counterattack!" Lin Tian calculated in his heart. He knew that if he continued to defend passively like this, sooner or later, he would be defeated by Mo Tiancheng's thunder power. Just then, Mo Tiancheng's offensive suddenly changed. His figure suddenly disappeared from the original place and appeared at Lin Tian's side in the next moment. The thunder spear condensed again and fiercely stabbed at Lin Tian's side. This strike was as fast as lightning, leaving Lin Tian almost no time to react. Lin Tian's pupils contracted, but his reaction was not slow. Almost at the moment of Mo Tiancheng's attack, he had already transferred the thunder power within him to the side, forming a temporary thunder barrier. The thunder spear collided with the barrier, once again erupting in a loud explosion.

"Boom!" The intense impact force sent Lin Tian's body staggering backward sharply. The ground beneath his feet was torn apart by the thunder power, with shattered stones flying everywhere. Instantly, the entire competition platform was filled with dust and smoke. A trace of blood seeped from the corner of Lin Tian's mouth. He knew that if he hadn't reacted promptly, this strike would likely have seriously injured him. A cold glint flashed in Mo Tiancheng's eyes, and his attacks intensified once again. The thunder power rained down on Lin Tian like a violent storm, each strike carrying extremely fierce destructive power. "Mo Tiancheng's offensive is too fierce. I must find a way to turn the situation around!" Lin Tian warned himself in his heart. He quickly adjusted his state, circulated the spiritual energy within him to the extreme, and prepared to look for an opportunity to counterattack. However, Mo Tiancheng didn't give him a chance to catch his breath. Suddenly, a powerful thunder power condensed in his hand again. This time, the thunder pillar was even thicker than before, carrying destructive power, and chopped down directly towards Lin Tian. Sensing the might of this thunder pillar, Lin Tian's expression darkened. He knew that this strike mustn't be received head-on; otherwise, he might be directly blasted into serious injury by the thunder power. He quickly circulated the thunder power within him and with a sudden wave of his hands, the thunder sword light in his hand instantly transformed into a huge thunder sword wall, blocking in front of the thunder pillar. "Boom!" The thunder pillar collided with the thunder sword wall in the air, emitting a deafening explosion. Electrical sparks shot in all directions, and the entire competition platform was instantly enveloped by a strong thunder and lightning power. The disciples below the stage retreated one after another, their faces shocked. "Can Lin Tian hold on?" One disciple murmured in a low voice, his eyes filled with worry. "Mo Tiancheng's thunder power is so strong. I'm afraid Lin Tian..." Another disciple couldn't help shaking his head, a hint of pity in his gaze. However, Lin Tian's gaze remained firm. He knew that he couldn't retreat; otherwise, the outcome would be determined instantly. The thunder power within him became more condensed as he continuously circulated it, and his entire aura gradually rose. "Mo Tiancheng, I won't give up easily!" Lin Tian shouted in a low voice. With a sudden push of his hands, the thunder sword wall expanded abruptly in the air and counterattacked against Mo Tiancheng's thunder pillar. "Boom!" With a loud explosion, the two powerful thunder powers collided fiercely in the air. Electrical sparks flew everywhere, and the thunder pillar finally gradually collapsed under the counterattack of the thunder sword wall, transforming into countless electrical sparks and scattering in all directions. Mo Tiancheng's expression changed slightly. He didn't expect that Lin Tian could withstand such a powerful attack, and a hint of unease arose in his heart. He quickly circulated the spiritual energy within him, preparing to launch the next even more fierce attack. "It seems that I have to use my real killing move." A ruthless glint flashed in Mo Tiancheng's eyes. He suddenly joined his hands together, and the dark clouds in the sky instantly condensed into a huge thunder vortex, with intense thunder power frantically surging within it. "Thunder to Destroy the World!" With Mo Tiancheng's low shout, the thunder vortex suddenly erupted with extremely powerful thunder power. The entire sky seemed to be torn apart by this force. Thunder and lightning poured down like a tempest, directly lunging at Lin Tian. Sensing this destructive thunder power, Lin Tian's heart trembled. He knew that this strike was definitely Mo Tiancheng's trump card. If he couldn't defuse it, he would face a great crisis. "Can't hesitate anymore. Must go all out!" A determined look flashed in Lin Tian's eyes. He quickly condensed the thunder power within him to the extreme. With a sudden wave of his hands, the thunder power instantly transformed into a huge thunder light shield, blocking above his head. "Boom!" The power of Thunder to Destroy the World struck the thunder light shield fiercely, causing Lin Tian's body to tremble violently. The ground beneath his feet instantly cracked open, with stones flying everywhere, and the cracks on the thunder light shield multiplied. "Hold on. Mustn't fall!" Lin Tian gritted his teeth and frantically circulated the spiritual energy within him, attempting to stabilize the thunder light shield. However, Mo Tiancheng's Thunder to Destroy the World was too powerful. The cracks on the light shield had covered the entire surface, and it was on the verge of collapse at any moment. "Can't Lin Tian hold on anymore?" The disciples below the stage were on tenterhooks. Everyone's gaze was focused on the competition platform, afraid of missing any detail. At this critical juncture, Lin Tian's gaze suddenly became extremely determined. He took a deep breath, and the thunder power within him erupted suddenly. The cracks on the thunder light shield instantly healed, and his entire aura rose sharply. "Thunder Reversal!" With Lin Tian's low shout, the thunder light shield counterattacked upwards abruptly, instantly reflecting the power of Thunder to Destroy the World back into the sky. The intense thunder power collided fiercely in the air, electrical sparks shot everywhere, and the entire competition platform seemed to tremble under this force. Mo Tiancheng's expression changed drastically. He didn't expect that Lin Tian could counterattack the power of Thunder to Destroy the World, and a hint of fear arose in his heart. He quickly circulated the spiritual energy within him, attempting to stabilize the thunder vortex, but it was too late. The power of Thunder Reversal had completely disintegrated his offensive. "Boom!" The thunder vortex burst apart in the air, transforming into countless electrical sparks and scattering in all directions, and Mo Tiancheng's figure was knocked flying by the strong impact force and heavily fell on the competition platform. Lin Tian stood at the other end of the competition platform. The spiritual energy within him had been consumed by more than half, and his breath was somewhat unstable, but he still stood upright, a hint of determination in his eyes. "Mo Tiancheng, you're too kind." Lin Tian said calmly. Although his body was extremely exhausted, his fighting spirit remained undiminished. Mo Tiancheng covered his chest, his face pale. He knew that he had been completely defeated, his heart filled with bitterness and unwillingness: "I... lost?" On the competition field, there was a deathly silence. Everyone was stunned by this thrilling clash of thunder and couldn't utter a word. After a moment, the disciples below the stage burst out into a deafening cheer. "Lin Tian won! He actually won!" "This battle is like a fight between immortals. It's so shocking!"
