Great Demon Sun Wukong-Chapter 304 - 293: The True Body of Thunder Spirit
Although the person had been injured, the Great Formation did not stop operating. However, when the attacks of the others also reached their targets, among the eighteen people, sixteen were wounded. While the severity varied, Xi Zhao and the others had achieved their objective. The Myriad Thunder Illuminating Heaven Formation shattered with a loud crash. The moment the Formation crumbled, the fifteen Earth Attribute warriors from both factions inside erupted forth.
Although they were adept at defense, it didn’t mean they disliked offense. Having been trapped and fought against by the people from the Transforming Thunder Ancestral Realm for such a long time, all of them were brimming with pent-up rage. Now that the Formation was broken, each and every one was eager to fight, taking out their weapons and swarming towards the eighteen people. Furthermore, they had previously received orders from Jue Luan and Xi Zhao that should the Formation be successfully broken, they were to concentrate all their strength and attack one at a time.

In other words, while those from the Transforming Thunder Ancestral Realm were still dealing with the backlash caused by the Formation’s breakage and trying to stabilize the surging energy and blood within their bodies, those fifteen Earth Attribute individuals had already begun their counterattack, all fifteen attacking one person simultaneously. Even if it was one-on-one the people from the Transforming Thunder Ancestral Realm would not be a match, especially with the Formation’s backlash affecting them, but now the reinforcements of the Transforming Thunder Ancestral Realm were imminent. The most important thing was to eliminate as many of the Transforming Thunder Ancestral Realm’s fighters as possible.
As the saying goes, it’s better to break one finger than to injure ten. These individuals had already suffered from the Formation’s backlash, and now faced simultaneous attacks by more than ten warriors; they stood no chance. Immediately, anyone targeted by the group fell one by one. By the time the Transforming Thunder Ancestral Realm’s reinforcements finally arrived, eight out of the eighteen who laid down the Formation were already dead. Only ten remained, huddled together with severe injuries and pale faces.
The condition of the Netherworld World and Genesis Divine Nation warriors wasn’t much better—each one was panting heavily, hastily taking out all kinds of Elixirs and swallowing them down. After all, the Myriad Thunder Illuminating Heaven Formation wasn’t something that could be withstood easily. Even though the fifteen had not been injured, their Spiritual Power was greatly depleted, and there had been no time to consume Elixirs within the Formation. Hence, their recent fierce assault had only managed to kill eight people.
Had these people been in their prime, the forces of the Transforming Thunder Ancestral Realm might have already been annihilated. The situation had become somewhat delicate. On one side, the Transforming Thunder Ancestral Realm had Leidao Ren being protected by Jue Luan, Qian Shang, Rogue Heart Sword Hero, and the Flame God at the center, with the ten remnants who had set up the Myriad Thunder Illuminating Heaven Formation surrounding them.
Outside, Luo Chen and the others who had been trapped within the Formation, along with the five Battle Generals of the second team including Xi Zhao, encircled them. And then beyond them were the seven members of the Transforming Thunder Ancestral Realm’s reinforcements and five other individuals. These five were clearly not from the Transforming Thunder Ancestral Realm; judging by their attire and aura fluctuations, they appeared to be from the Myriad Spirits Realm.
Of course, there was only one person still fighting in the field, and that was Sun Wukong, who had performed the Chaos Giant Transformation. At that moment, he was still relentlessly pounding away at the outer Formation of the Transforming Thunder Palace. And after such a prolonged attack, the Formation had visibly dimmed, with each strike causing stronger fluctuations than the last on the Formation. Clearly, the Formation would not hold much longer.
"Order your people to stop attacking the Formation, or we’ll take action!" said one of the outermost reinforcements. This person seemed to be the squad leader of the five from the Myriad Spirits Realm. However, the people from the Netherworld World and Genesis Divine Nation completely ignored his words. Jue Luan suddenly spoke up, not to the warrior from the Myriad Spirits Realm but instead shouting up to Sun Wukong, who was attacking the Formation, "The Chaos Giant Transformation might grow stronger the larger you become, but if you want to maximize your Attack Power, you need to fully compress the Chaos Energy within your body while maintaining the Transformation. Also, you could try using the first three decisions of the Chaos Five Decisions."
After Jue Luan finished speaking, he then shouted loudly to everyone around him, "Move out, give it your all, warriors of the Genesis Divine Nation, fight!" As Jue Luan’s voice rang out, Xi Zhao also shouted simultaneously, "Warriors of the Netherworld World, fight together, as individuals, fight!"

At this moment, Leidao Ren knew that this battle might be a fight to the death, but fortunately, the reinforcements had arrived just in time. With them, there was still a chance to fight back. "Everyone from the Transforming Thunder Ancestral Realm, for the glory of Transforming Thunder, fight to the last!"
Suddenly, everyone was once again engaged in battle. Nineteen from the Netherworld World, twenty from the Genesis Divine Nation. Eighteen from the Transforming Thunder Ancestral Realm, five from the Myriad Spirits Realm. In terms of numbers, the alliance of the Genesis Netherworld still held an absolute advantage. Thirty-nine against twenty-two, almost all turned into a two-on-one situation.
Yet, what was utterly infuriating were the Five Battle Generals from the Netherworld World—namely, the Evil Monarch, Shang Sheng, Zhan Yunyi, Old Wang, and Du Tianyang. These five, under the pretext of being a unit, were actually ganging up on a single isolated person from the Transforming Thunder Ancestral Realm. At this moment, every person from the Transforming Thunder Ancestral Realm was isolated. Even if they tried to gather and form a Formation, the Genesis Netherworld Alliance would not give them the chance. Even the later arrivals from the Myriad Spirits Realm were forced to fight individually.
Joking apart, the greatest use of a Formation is to fight against superior numbers; if they were to form a Formation again, their numerical advantage would vanish. Unlike the current situation, where there’s almost a two-on-one everywhere, just like the heartless and frenzied Five Battle Generals, five against one. Even Leidao Ren himself was entangled by both Rogue Heart Sword Hero and Jue Luan.
Despite Rogue Heart Sword Hero’s inability to even draw his blade against Dao Zhun, he was now unleashing a ferocious fight against the Taoist from the Transforming Thunder Realm. The black Tang Blade in his hands slashed and hacked in all sorts of exquisite maneuvers, posing a significant threat to the Taoist. Moreover, with Jue Luan incessantly inflicting negative statuses upon the Taoist using a variety of methods, the situation for his opponent was growing increasingly precarious.
The only glimmer of hope lay in the five mighty beings from the Myriad Spirits Realm who had joined later, and the seven others who had returned from the Transforming Thunder Ancestral Realm. Although these twelve individuals had rushed back without rest, their Spiritual Power and physical strength were hardly spent, so they managed to fight on equal terms against two opponents. After all, the forces of the Genesis Netherworld Alliance had already suffered some depletion, especially those trapped within the Great Formation, with nearly every person’s Spiritual Power drained by more than half.
Even so, the tide of battle quickly turned one-sided. Despite the Netherworld forces’ Spiritual Power being compromised, the casualties amongst the Transforming Thunder Ancestral Realm’s people were greater, many even bearing injuries. Under these circumstances, fighting two against one, they soon showed signs of defeat. Watching the situation on the field, the Taoist from the Transforming Thunder Realm’s heart sank, and he suddenly commanded, "People of the Transforming Thunder Ancestral Realm, heed my order. Transform, manifest your true Thunder Spirit form!"
The Taoist was well aware that the final moment had arrived. If they did not give it their all now, there would likely be no chance left to do so. Upon hearing the Taoist’s command, Xi Zhao and Jue Luan tensed up, realizing that the people from the Transforming Thunder Ancestral Realm were making their last stand. They had not exerted their full strength from the start, knowing that all thirty-six participants from the Transforming Thunder Ancestral Realm in this trial were Thunder Spirits.
What is a Thunder Spirit? Thunder Spirits are beings born from the condensation of Elemental Thunder to an extreme level, possessing thought and soul, but no flesh upon birth. Their bodies are formed over millennia, slowly condensed from the power of the Element of Thunder. Therefore, if they revert to their true Thunder Spirit form at the brink of death, it indicates their readiness to abandon their condensed Elemental Thunder bodies.
This allows them to instantly harness the unbelievable power of Elemental Thunder within their physical form, gaining immense strength for a short period. However, although this grants them substantial power, the duration is short. After the time passes, the vast Elemental Thunder dissipates into the air, and these individuals, having lost their physical forms, become vulnerable Thunder Spirits. If they cannot annihilate their foes completely, it may well spell the total destruction of these Thunder Spirits.
Nonetheless, there’s one exception: Bai Yi. As a rare Lightning Strike Thunder Spirit, even if he reverts to his true Thunder Spirit form and dissipates his physical body, he can still maintain formidable combat power through the Element of Light.
While the Taoist gave the order, not all of them transformed into their true Thunder Spirit form. Instead, the ten who previously sustained the Myriad Thunder Illuminating Heaven Formation exploded with potent, explosive Elemental Thunder energy, while the seven who arrived later continued to battle with their physical forms.
If all transformed into their true Thunder Spirit form, even if they could annihilate this group of enemies, they would no longer need to consider subsequent trials in the Patrolling Celestial World. Without their physical forms, they would become invulnerable to physical attacks but extremely susceptible to various Taoist Arts and Spells.
Thus, only the ten injured Thunder Spirits ruptured their physical forms. Suddenly, centered on these ten individuals, immense Elemental Thunder power, tangible as substance, radiated explosively from their bodies. The fearsome Elemental Thunder friction generated ear-splitting roars around these ten individuals.
As these ten Thunder Spirits erupted into their true forms, the people of Genesis Netherworld swiftly sprang into action. Xi Zhao and Sun Wukong stood together, facing a Thunder Spirit. Then came Jue Luan and Luo Chen; followed by Rogue Heart Sword Hero and Flame God; Evil Monarch with Old King; Zhan Yunyi with Meng Lan; Ming Wanjie with Du Tianyang; Qian Shang with Shang Sheng; and the remaining three Ancestors stood together in a group, fully on guard.
It appeared that Genesis Netherworld planned to pair off in twos to confront these ten Thunder Spirits with their strongest fighters.
As the ten Thunder Spirits unleashed their true forms, Sun Wukong, who had been attacking the Mountain Protection Array, suddenly ceased his actions. Then, his figure began to shrink gradually: from thirty meters, to twenty-five, twenty, fifteen, ten, until he stopped at three meters, shrinking to more than ten times smaller than his Chaos Giant Transformation.
Just as Sun Wukong’s size decreased, two people burst out from within the Mountain Protection Array. These two individuals were Bai Yi, who had gone to guard the World Suppressing Stele in the Transforming Thunder Palace, and a young man named Li.
