As the two men unleashed their palms towards each other, a thunderous roar echoed across the plaza.
Lightning condensed, and then two enormous palms of lightning violently collided under the watchful eyes of the crowd!
Boom!
In an instant, an unimaginable shockwave surged outwards.
Lightning exploded everywhere. Not only the high-grade True Immortals, but even Lei Qianjiao felt a deep tremor of fear.
Even though she had now advanced to the Second Revolution Golden Immortal stage.
Yet, she had no doubt that if she were caught in the blast, she would perish instantly!
The ferocious energy struck the barrier erected by Lei Zhengxuan, and for a moment, even the barrier itself cracked with dense fissures!
This energy absolutely could not be allowed to leak out.
Otherwise, everyone present, including the elders, would undoubtedly suffer injuries of varying degrees!
Lei Zhengxuan grunted, then raised his hands, and a more potent immortal energy was immediately injected into the barrier.
As a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, Lei Zhengxuan was still capable of withstanding this energy.
The cracks on the barrier were swiftly repaired, and the shockwave was finally contained within the barrier.
Golden lightning and purple lightning continuously intertwined and clashed, the fierce lightning storm engulfing Wu Tian.
Those outside could not see the situation within at all.
It was only after several minutes had passed that the earth-shattering sounds finally began to subside.
Following this, everyone felt as if they were wiping their eyes, eager to see the outcome of the situation.
In the cordoned-off area, neither Wu Tian nor the Grand Elder had fallen.
However, the Grand Elder remained in his original position, while Wu Tian had retreated more than ten meters.
"Hoo... hoo..."
Wu Tian panted heavily, his right hand trembling slightly, and even the lightning patterns on his body had dimmed considerably.
The solemnity on the Grand Elder's face had vanished.
In its place was a look of deep astonishment.
At this moment, he heard Wu Tian's somewhat weak voice: "Grand Elder, how was it?"
"Did I succeed?"
The Grand Elder was stunned, and for a moment, he didn't know how to reply.
Lei Zhengxuan casually dispersed the barrier and then walked out slowly, saying with a smile to the Grand Elder:
"Grand Elder, it seems Wu Tian has succeeded."
"At most, his energy was greatly depleted, but he sustained no injuries. With such a performance, can you not admit it?"
Hearing Lei Zhengxuan's words, the crowd's hearts were immediately stirred by a tempest!
Although they were all optimistic about Wu Tian, according to their estimations, even if Wu Tian could truly resist, he would likely suffer considerable injuries himself.
But the current outcome far exceeded their expectations!
It was important to remember that this Heavenly Thunder Creation Palm was the Grand Elder's ultimate technique.
In terms of understanding this move, even Lei Zhengxuan was not inferior.
If it were a confrontation with equal immortal energy, Lei Zhengxuan might not have been able to withstand it.
Yet Wu Tian had achieved it!
And the result was merely being pushed back ten meters!
Such strength was simply too outrageous, wasn't it?
To achieve such a remarkable feat at the mere level of a Fifth Revolution Golden Immortal.
Then, if Wu Tian's level were to increase by two more stages, wouldn't he be able to spar with Lei Zhengxuan?
For a moment, everyone looked at Wu Tian as if he were a monster.
No, perhaps Wu Tian could no longer be called a monster.
How could a monster achieve such a thing? He was simply a monster among monsters!
After a moment of silence, the Grand Elder suddenly sighed, then revealed a kindly smile:
"Well done, I am convinced."
"With the strength of a Fifth Revolution Golden Immortal, to be able to contend with me using the Heavenly Thunder Creation Palm to this extent is something I never expected."
"If you were at the Sixth Revolution instead of the Fifth right now, I have a feeling that the one being pushed back might have been me."
Everyone looked at the Grand Elder as if they had seen a ghost, almost dropping their jaws to the ground.
In their impression, the Grand Elder had always been a particularly stern figure.
He usually maintained a poker face, as if he never smiled.
But now, he was showing such a smile towards Wu Tian, which made everyone feel as if they were dreaming.
Facing the Grand Elder's acknowledgment, Wu Tian also smiled and said, "Grand Elder, you flatter me."
"It was merely good luck."
"In terms of mastery of the Heavenly Thunder Creation Palm, there is still a vast gap between me and you, Grand Elder."
Wu Tian's words were not mere politeness but heartfelt truth.
The Grand Elder's Heavenly Thunder Creation Palm had indeed reached a state of perfection. Even with his heaven-sent talent, he was far from being able to compare.
If not for the lightning amplified by his Sacred Dragon aura and his Heavenly Thunder Body as a foundation.
Even with his immortal energy density far exceeding that of his peers, it would have been impossible to contend with the Grand Elder.
Seeing Wu Tian's humility, the Grand Elder's mood improved even further.
He smiled and said, "To possess such strength at your young age, I admire you greatly."
"I accept you as the Sect Master. From this moment on, I am willing to follow your commands."
Wu Tian smiled and said, "It's not really a matter of commands, as I, this Sect Master, was pushed into this position."
"On the other hand, as an elder of the sect, you are superior to me in all aspects."
"Therefore, I still need to seek your guidance."
The Grand Elder's mood was very pleasant, and he laughed heartily, "Good, good!"
"Having been in the Sacred Thunder Sect for so many years, I had forgotten the joy of combat."
"Although our exchange today was brief, it still brought me great satisfaction."
"It seems this old man needs to accelerate his cultivation as well."
"Otherwise, I'll be caught up by you sooner or later!"
Wu Tian smiled and shook his head. The atmosphere between them instantly shifted from tense confrontation to harmonious warmth.
Lei Zhengxuan stepped forward and said, "Sect Master, it seems you truly are a divine figure."
"Since you arrived, the atmosphere in the Sacred Thunder Sect has become much more lively!"
Wu Tian smiled and said, "Sect Master Lei, you don't need to say that."
"I am just an ordinary person. The fact that I could reach this point has little to do with me."
"If I were to consider myself that important, then I would likely have stopped here."
The more Lei Zhengxuan looked at Wu Tian, the more he admired him.
To be honest, although he didn't have a great obsession with the position of Sect Master.
He still had some regrets after initially passing the succession to Wu Tian.
After all, it was a matter of great importance, and who knew if Wu Tian truly had the ability to be a good Sect Master?
But now, he could be completely at ease.
Wu Tian perfectly met his standards.
His previous worries now seemed somewhat excessive.
