Chapter 50: Slaying a Thunderclan Prodigy — Legendary Arts Acquired!

Raine’s gaze sharpened.

He pushed the Obsidian Golem Body to its absolute limit, lightning flickering faintly across his entire body!

SPLASH—!

The lightning spear pierced into Raine’s left shoulder, torrents of destructive lightning flooding inside.

Yet the grievous injury Bruce expected never came.

The thunderous power—enough to seriously wound a Grandmaster—was rapidly absorbed and broken down by the lightning runes of the Obsidian Golem Body the moment it entered Raine’s body.

Only about sixty percent of its force actually caused damage!

"What?!"

Bruce’s pupils shrank violently.

He knew exactly how powerful that strike had been.

Even a Thunderclan prodigy of the same rank would be gravely injured if they took it head-on.

Yet this human had suffered only a light wound?!

Just how many stars had he advanced the Obsidian Golem Body to?!

In the split second Bruce froze, Raine moved.

With his right hand, he seized the lightning spear embedded in his shoulder and yanked hard—ripping it straight out of Bruce’s grasp.

In the same motion, he spun and thrust it toward a Thunderclan prodigy who was rushing in at top speed behind him!

That Thunderclan prodigy was horrified and hurriedly activated the lightning power in his bloodline to defend.

But lightning against lightning—Raine’s thrust was unstoppable!

It shattered the lightning shield and pierced straight into the prodigy’s heart!

[You have slain a Master-rank Thunderclan prodigy. Bloodstone +12,850!]

[Obtained Legendary Art: Thunder Arbiter!]

[Ding! Spend 5,000 Bloodstones to unlock this art?]

"Yes!"

Raine froze for an instant, then answered without the slightest hesitation.

In the next moment, a surge of profound knowledge and power poured into him.

Thunder Arbiter—one of the core inherited arts of the Thunderclan!

It had five levels in total. Upon reaching five stars, one could incarnate as the Lord of Thunder and pass judgment upon all things!

Its advancement required absorbing vast quantities of lightning energy and lightning-aspected bloodcores—an extraordinarily difficult path.

But Raine had the system.

And he had Bloodstones!

"System! Use Bloodstones to push Thunder Arbiter to peak one-star!"

[Ding! Consuming 20,000 Bloodstones. Thunder Arbiter progressing...]

[1%... 40%... 80%... 99%! ]

Thunder Arbiter — One-Star Peak!

BOOM—!

The lightning runes across Raine’s body flared brilliantly.

Then—an unexpected change occurred.

The lightning runes intertwined with the Obsidian Golem Sigil, forming patterns even more complex and profound!

Raine had no time to study it.

He lowered his gaze to the Thunderclan prodigy’s corpse on the ground.

Before the shocked eyes of Bruce and the other Thunderclan prodigies, Raine raised his foot and stomped down hard on the corpse’s head!

CRACK—!

The skull burst apart like a smashed watermelon!

"A Thunderclan prodigy?" 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Raine sneered, grinding his foot against the shattered remains.

"That’s all you amount to."

"YOU—ARE—SEEKING—DEATH!"

Countless lightning serpents erupted around Bruce, writhing wildly!

He had never suffered such humiliation!

Killing his clansman right before his eyes—and desecrating the corpse?!

"I’ll tear you to pieces! Strip your bones and sinews! Torture you day and night!"

Bruce reached into the void and slowly drew out a battleblade!

The blade was long and silver-white, its surface densely etched with lightning runes.

A fist-sized purple crystal was set into the hilt, lightning swimming within it.

The moment the blade appeared, lightning power across heaven and earth surged toward it!

The thunderclouds above churned violently, as though welcoming the descent of a king!

"Divine Relic... the Thunder Prison Blade?!"

"Lord Bruce actually used a Divine Relic!"

"This human is dead! Once a Divine Relic appears, no low-tier Grandmaster can stand against it!"

The surrounding prodigies recoiled in shock, retreating in haste to avoid being caught in the aftermath.

A Divine Relic—an existence surpassing even transcendent weapons!

Each one possessed world-shaking might, typically reserved for Epic-tier experts.

For Bruce, a Thunderclan prodigy, to be granted a Divine Relic showed just how highly he was valued.

"To die beneath the Thunder Prison Blade is your honor!"

Bruce gripped the blade with both hands, his aura surging to its absolute peak.

He stepped forward—the ground exploded beneath his feet!

Raising the Thunder Prison Blade high, countless bolts of lightning descended from the heavens and merged into the blade!

"Thunderous Judgment!"

He brought the blade down!

No fancy techniques—only pure, overwhelming power and destruction!

A hundred-meter-long arc of lightning tore through heaven and earth in an instant.

Where it passed, space shattered; the ground was cleaved open into a bottomless chasm as the attack came crashing down toward Raine!

Raine’s expression turned incomparably grim.

He could feel the terrifying power contained within that strike—

Power enough to erase him completely!

He couldn’t block it head-on!

He activated Windflow Step, attempting to evade.

But the lightning’s coverage was too vast, too fast—it sealed off every escape route!

There was nowhere to run!

Gritting his teeth, Raine fully activated the Obsidian Golem Body and raised the Blackglow War Spear horizontally above his head, attempting to block.

CLANG—!!!

At the moment spear met lightning, the Blackglow War Spear let out a wail of strain, countless cracks spreading across its shaft!

CRACK!

The spear snapped!

Raine felt as if struck by thunder itself.

He was blasted away by the residual lightning, a gash so deep bone was visible torn across his chest as blood sprayed violently!

He felt his breastbone shatter, his lungs pierced through!

Agony surged like a tidal wave—

Yet Raine’s mind remained eerily clear.

Borrowing the momentum of being flung backward, he forcibly twisted his body and smashed into the cluster of prodigies like a cannonball!

"This is bad—he’s trying to drag us down with him!"

"Don’t get close—don’t let him use us as cover!"

"Spread out!"

The prodigies panicked, scattering in all directions.

But Raine’s target was clear—

The Blackwater Clan prodigy closest to him!

That prodigy wielded a black battleblade and was trying to circle toward where Arlis lay unconscious—clearly intending to take advantage of the chaos.

"Courting death!"

A vicious glint flashed in Raine’s eyes.

The front half of the broken Blackglow War Spear in his right hand blazed with blood-red light.

He poured all his blood energy into the shattered spear, crimson radiance igniting along its length.

At the same time, Thunder Arbiter — One-Star Peak activated, crackling arcs of lightning dancing over the weapon!

"Go!"

The broken spear left his hand—

Transforming into a streak of golden-white light that shot straight toward the Blackwater Clan prodigy!

The instant he was locked by that terrifying aura, the Blackwater prodigy turned pale and hastily swung his blade to block.

But he had gravely underestimated the power of this strike.

The broken spear knocked the black blade flying in an instant, pierced straight through his chest, and detonated with terrifying lightning inside his body!

[You have slain a Master-rank Blackwater Clan prodigy. Bloodstone +13,560!]

[Obtained Legendary Combat Art: Dark Avatar!]

[Dark Avatar: Temporarily converts part or all of the body into darkness, granting immunity to physical attacks and massively enhancing dark-attribute abilities.]

As a Legendary combat art of the Blackwater Clan, it too required bloodcores for advancement.

"System! Spend Bloodstones to unlock Dark Avatar!"

[Ding! Consuming 3,000 Bloodstones. Dark Avatar progressing...]

[1%... 50%... 99%! ]

[Dark Avatar successfully unlocked!]

Raine landed, staggering several steps, blood pouring from the wound in his chest.

He didn’t even glance at it.

Instead, he strode straight to the Blackwater prodigy’s corpse and picked up the black battleblade.

That black blade was also a supreme transcendent weapon, its attacks carrying terrifying corrosive power!

Turning, he faced the pursuing Bruce.

"Thunder Arbiter..."

Bruce stared fixedly at the lightning runes on Raine’s body—so painfully familiar—his eyes filled with disbelief.

"How do you know my Thunderclan’s inherited art?!"
