Chapter 498: Divine Art · Thunder Punishment
“Qin Xiaochuan, Paragon Liu, I won’t repeat the rules. If you’re ready, you can begin,” said Lei Ji.
Liu Yuanhang and Qin Chuan responded in unison.
“I’m ready.”
“Alright, I’ll leave the venue to you now.”
With that, Lei Ji and the others flew into the sky, leaving only Qin Chuan and Liu Yuanhang on the ground.
They were in no hurry to make a move. They sized each other up and smiled faintly.
For a time, the surrounding air became exceptionally quiet, like the calm before the storm.
Silence for a moment.
Liu Yuanhang was the first to break the atmosphere.

“Paragon Qin, I guess you must have mastered some kind of extremely profound divination technique that allows you to divine what will happen in the future.
“Due to our lack of understanding and underestimation of you, Gang Gaoyuan suffered a huge loss. That’s why you won so easily.
“But now, you won’t be so lucky.
“Defeating you is actually quite easy. All I need to do is make your divination lose its effect and your combat ability will be halved.”
Liu Yuanhang continued, “I already have a solution. Why don’t you divine it and see what I’m going to do next?”
He had used his luck to conceal his fate in advance.
This method was very common in the Immortal Realm. It was mainly used to prevent divination cultivators from prying.
As a genius on the Chosen Roll, Liu Yuanhang had great luck. Using this method, it would be impossible to divine him.
Qin Chuan had expected this from him as well. However, what he used was not divination, but the divine art, Future Vision.
However, there was not much difference between the two.
He also knew that some powerful divination cultivators could use divination techniques to achieve the same effect as Future Vision.
Since Liu Yuanhang was so confident, Qin Chuan did a test.
Qin Chuan used his Future Vision, and the scene before him instantly changed.
Usually, he could clearly observe what the other party would do in the next few minutes.
But now, Liu Yuanhang was surrounded by a cloud.
“As expected of a paragon of the Immortal realm. His insight is crazy.”
Qin Chuan retracted his Future Vision. His state of mind had not changed much.
He had expected this situation and was already mentally prepared.
Liu Yuanhang smiled and said, “Admit defeat! There’s no way you can defeat me once the divination technique loses its effect.”
Qin Chuan smiled and said, “We’ll only know that once we fight.”
“Since you’re so persistent, let’s begin!”
Liu Yuanhang added, “I hope you can last longer.”
He was exceptionally arrogant because he was confident.
Qin Chuan knew that this person before him was not simple. Without exposing too many trump cards, it would indeed be difficult to win.
Liu Yuanhang was the first to attack.
After observing the battle between Qin Chuan and Gang Gaoyuan, he determined that Qin Chuan’s close combat ability was poor.
This was his weakness.
Now that he had no way of doing divination, he would find it even harder to resist.
Swoos.h.!.+
Liu Yuanhang tore through the air like a bolt of lightning, producing sizzling electric currents.
He was clearly faster than Gang Gaoyuan.
The speed of transmission of electric currents was close to the speed of light. Although Liu Yuanhang could not achieve the speed of light, he had definitely surpa.s.sed most people.
Qin Chuan had done his homework beforehand and had long used the Law of Gravity to set up a gravitational field around him.
Since everyone knew that he cultivated the Law of Gravity, there was no point in hiding anything.
When Liu Yuanhang approached Qin Chuan, he instantly slowed down.
The first feeling it gave him was as if he had suddenly rushed into the water, and his body was obstructed in all aspects.
“That Law of Gravity is really disgusting,” Liu Yuanhang complained.
Due to the decrease in speed, Qin Chuan could clearly observe Liu Yuanhang’s trajectory and easily resolved this attack.
After his attacks failed, Liu Yuanhang quickly distanced himself.
Qin Chuan stood rooted to the ground. The gravitational field around him was like an indestructible fortress, giving one a headache.
Back then, when he was fighting with Gang Gaoyuan, he did not think about the gravitational field and only knew to deal with him with his Future Vision.
During the break, he carefully recalled the battle. Only then did he realize that the terrifying gravity of the gravitational field was the nemesis of all speed.
Everything in the world complemented and countered one another.
There was always a solution to a problem.
So what if you are fast? Once you enter my gravitational field, you can only advance at turtle speed.
Faced with the gravitational field, Liu Yuanhang had yet to come up with a solution. He could only give up on close combat for now.
Since close combat did not work, he would attack from a distance.
Liu Yuanhang possessed the Thunder Soul and controlled the power of lightning and thunder. His destructive power was quite terrifying.
“Divine Art · Thunder Punishment!”
Liu Yuanhang immediately used a divine art.
In an instant, dark clouds covered the sky, and strong winds rose.
Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+
Lightning flashed, and thunder rumbled in the dark clouds.
Liu Yuanhang flew into the sky. Electric currents flickered on his body as if he was wearing lightning armor. He looked extremely domineering.
Qin Chuan looked up. His expression was unchanged. He already had a solution in mind.
Boom!
After a loud thunderclap, a bolt of lightning with a diameter of more than ten meters descended from the thundercloud and charged toward Qin Chuan.
From the fluctuations of its power, it was stronger than the heavenly tribulation during the Immortal Tribulation.
Boom!
The lightning and thunder struck the ground, drowning Qin Chuan.
In an instant, the ground shook, and the entire sea of sand turned into crystals.
The paragons in the sky released their divine consciousness to observe how Qin Chuan would react.
However, when they saw the scene, they were once again shocked by Qin Chuan.
Qin Chuan’s entire body was shrouded in lightning and thunder. His skin had turned pitch-black, and he was entirely black.
He was not charred by lightning, but a gravity armor formed from the Law of Gravity.
“He withstood it?
“Even if he uses the Law of Gravity to envelop his body, it wouldn’t be enough to resist Brother Liu’s thunder-type divine art, would it!” A prodigy said in disbelief.
“It’s not surprising that he can defend himself, but using this method is too much.
“Liu Yuanhang has the Thunder Soul, and any thunder-type divine art or spell will be several times stronger in his hands.
“If it were me, I would also need to release my Soul to receive it.
“However, this fellow did not use his Soul. This is really surprising.
“Is he hiding his strength?” asked Gang Gaoyuan in a deep voice.
In the sky, Liu Yuanhang also noticed it.
“He actually withstood it!”
“No! It seems like my lightning and thunder have no effect on his body?”
As a divine art user, he could sense how much damage the lightning and thunder had done to Qin Chuan.
But now, the feedback was zero damage.
This puzzled him.
“Is he wearing armor with an insulating attribute?” Liu Yuanhang wondered.
As far as he knew, the Law of Gravity was not immune to lightning damage.
In order to confirm his guess, he increased the output of his divine art.
The next moment, another bolt of lightning descended from the thundercloud.
This bolt of lightning was twice as thick as the previous one, so it was naturally stronger.
Accompanied by a deafening roar, it drowned Qin Chuan again.
However, under Liu Yuanhang’s observation, Qin Chuan was still unscathed and looked very relaxed.
Liu Yuanhang’s expression turned especially solemn.
He knew that insulators were immune to electric damage, but lightning was not only a lightning injury. The heat it caused was also extremely terrifying.
If Qin Chuan was wearing an insulating attribute defensive equipment below the Immortal grade, it would be difficult to resist the high temperature produced by the Divine Art · Thunder Punishment.
But immortal-grade artifacts were banned from being used.
Did he neutralize my divine art with just the Law of Gravity?
Liu Yuanhang couldn’t figure it out, nor could he accept it.
At this moment, Qin Chuan, who was enveloped by the lightning pillar, suddenly soared into the sky.
