This was no mere "rope of aura."
This was clearly a living, breathing thing—forged from the purest, most refined essence of primal Thunder Fiend energy—the Purple Sky Divine Chain.

"What is that?!"
"Impossible! That aura… He must have reached the Seventh Layer, right?!"
"Is that… is that… the Seventh Layer of the Nine Heavens Divine Body?"
The entire plaza on Enlightenment Peak exploded like a lit powder keg.
A tsunami of disbelieving screams and frantic gasps erupted with a deafening roar.
Thousands of disciples shot to their feet, craning their necks to stare fixedly at the terrifying purple divine chain stretching between Li Wen and the Profound Steel Ball. The same word was written on every face: SHOCK!
