As Uchiha Madara's voice faded, purple lightning constantly flashed and roared within the dark clouds, a rumbling thunder deafening and piercing this was divine might! Uchiha Madara raised a hand, and the purple lightning chain in his grasp pierced through the lightning clusters in the dark clouds.
Looking at Bud, still unyielding in mid-air, Uchiha Madara's heart was filled with an emotion he couldn't quite discern, whether it was admiration or mockery. He calmly uttered four words: "Lightning! Divine retribution! Ten thousand lightning bolts!"
Uchiha Madara ruthlessly swung his lightning-infused purple lightning downwards! As if a switch had been flipped, the thick dark clouds in the sky suddenly erupted in a brilliant purple light. Looking out, the entire expanse of dark clouds was filled with roaring, flashing purple lightning, turning the clouds a dazzling violet!
Boom! Crash! Countless purple lightning bolts, too numerous to count, rained down from the purple dark clouds upon Bud below, striking him head-on!
Bud, suspended in mid-air by electromagnetic force, was greatly alarmed and quickly activated his Imperial Gear. Amidst the flashing lightning, dense blue lightning enveloped Bud's towering figure. He desperately tried to defend himself with his blue lightning! However, how could the puny Blue Mountain King possibly withstand such a colossal purple lightning storm?!
Ten thousand streaks of purple lightning converged upon Bud from the sky. In an instant, they transformed into a massive purple lightning curtain, swallowing Bud, who was flashing with blue light, in a roar! The blue lightning on Bud,
meant for defense, seemed utterly ineffective. He was directly overwhelmed by the incessant purple lightning. Bud's sturdy physique took the full brunt of this terrifying purple lightning storm head-on!
Between heaven and earth, purple light flashed and roared, mixed with Bud's desperate screams!
The Imperial Army soldiers, who had retreated to a safe distance, witnessed this scene, all trembling with fear and dread for the life and death of their Grand General Bud. Many even thought that surviving under such divine might was simply a luxury.
No matter how strong Grand General Bud was, this time, disaster far outweighed fortune! The leading officers and generals sat on the ground, grinding their teeth as they watched this terrifying scene, their hearts filled with endless worry.
Not only here, but purple lightning curtains permeated between heaven and earth, visible even a thousand miles away. In the Imperial Capital, almost all citizens witnessed this terrifying scene.
Everyone was shaken by this divine power, their hearts filled with alarm and terror. Some older people, in particular, were extremely superstitious and immediately knelt down, continuously chanting and praying towards the distant purple lightning curtain.
Within the Imperial Palace, whether it was the young Emperor, Minister Orneste, or the civil and military officials below, all were stunned by this terrifying display. The Emperor, being a child after all, sat trembling on his throne, his face pale with fright. Clasping his scepter, he anxiously asked Minister Orneste beside him:
"Minister... this is so terrifying. What exactly is it?"
Minister Orneste's heart was also extremely shocked, but with his profound cunning, at least in front of the young Emperor, he always maintained that calm, in-control demeanor. He imperceptibly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said to the young Emperor:
"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. No matter what happens, this old minister can resolve it for you. You say... isn't that right!?"
His last words were a question to the civil and military officials below. All the civil and military officials below were Orneste's pawns. They were also sufficiently terrified now. Hearing Minister Orneste's question and seeing Orneste's violent gaze, they quickly replied:
"No mistake, no mistake, what the Minister said is no mistake!"
"Your Majesty can rest assured. With the Minister here, everything is not a problem!"
"Indeed, no matter what kind of monster, it's no match for the Minister!"
Such obsequious remarks continuously resounded. It was said that Zhao Gao pointed to a deer and called it a horse, and Hu Hai completely believed it. In the current situation, it was remarkably similar to that scene where a deer was called a horse. All officials said the same thing in unison. The young Emperor naturally believed them and immediately changed from tense to relaxed.
...
Calming down the young Emperor relaxed him, but Minister Orneste's heart could not relax. He looked up at the terrifying purple lightning curtain in the distance. Minister Orneste's heart was extremely heavy.
Who in the world can achieve this level? To this extent, can Bud hold on? If he can't, what should Your Majesty do? Is he really going to... Such was the reaction within the Imperial Palace. In addition, there was also...
On a mountain peak an unknown number of kilometers outside the Imperial Capital, a curvaceous beauty stood atop a Fire Dragon. She looked from afar at the terrifying purple lightning curtain in the distance. Instead of being afraid like those others, she licked her lips, showing an expression of excitement.
...
She immediately couldn't hold back and rapidly charged towards the purple lightning. The terrifying purple lightning roared for a full half-minute before gradually ceasing under Uchiha Madara's control. After it stopped, Uchiha Madara looked at the thick dark clouds in the sky and gently waved his hand.
Very obediently, the dark clouds in the sky dispersed, and the sky once again became clear, sunlight once again bathing the earth. Under the shining sunlight, in mid-air, there was a scorched figure, falling! Without a doubt, this scorched person was Bud.
Bud fell from mid-air, landing on the ground with a thud, creating a large crater. Uchiha Madara raised an eyebrow and walked over.
Walking up to Bud, Uchiha Madara looked down at the battered Bud in the crater. His black armor was completely shattered, revealing his lightning-scorched black skin, which was even emitting green smoke, clearly in a terrible state.
However, Uchiha Madara keenly noticed Bud's slightly heaving chest. This guy was still breathing! He actually wasn't dead yet! Uchiha Madara couldn't help but marvel at his cockroach-like vitality.
However, a cockroach must be crushed!
