"Tian Cang Lei? The Tian Cang Lei who gathered crowds to slaughter the people of the Divine Court on the Eastern Continent of the Divine Realm thirty years ago? The Tian Cang Lei known as the Duke of Thunder?" Someone in the surroundings couldn't help but exclaim upon hearing the name.

"Twenty years ago, Tian Cang Lei disappeared without a trace. I didn't expect he was captured by the people of the Divine Court!"

"It's said that Tian Cang Lei was an expert at the Azure Sky Realm back then, the name Duke of Thunder was indeed legendary!"

...

The leading officer of the Divine Court frowned, walked up, and said, "Tian Cang Lei, I think a heroic figure like you wouldn't want to die here just like this. Since that's the case, I'm giving you a chance!"

Tian Cang Lei sneered, "Giving me a chance? You little brat, how dare you talk so arrogantly! What gives you the right to speak to me like this!"

The young officer said indifferently, "I am the second son of the General's Residence of Divine Might. I can make a bet with you, if you win against me, I can give you a chance to escape. But if you lose..."

"If I lose? How could I possibly lose!" Tian Cang Lei's eyes darted around.

Even though he was in the dungeon, he had heard of Ouyang Ting, the second son of the General's Residence of Divine Might. It's said that when he was born, he held Thunder Jade in his mouth. It took him less than fifty years to advance to the Divine Realm, and within thirty years, he had reached the Peak of Divine Realm!

In order to break through his own power, he once entered the Illusion Rain Forest, one of the Ten Great Forbidden Lands of the Divine Realm, with just a long spear. Two years later, he emerged as a master at the Sea of Gods Realm!

Upon coming out, Ouyang Ting was received by the Divine Emperor and was then placed in the Divine Punishment Guard.

In most people's eyes, Ouyang Ting is a legend, an indisputable talent.

When Tian Cang Lei realized that the young man before him was Ouyang Ting, he had a different thought in his mind.

Although Ouyang Ting's cultivation was now at the Sea of Gods Realm, in the eyes of an Azure Sky Realm expert like Tian Cang Lei, Ouyang Ting was nothing but a little kid!

If he could capture Ouyang Ting during the battle and take him hostage, he would truly have a chance to escape alive!

After all, both his identity and potential were not things others could disregard.

"Fine, I begrudgingly agree to your proposal!" As he spoke, a bolt of lightning flashed beneath Tian Cang Lei's feet, striking a Formation Eye beneath the Teleportation Array: "I warn you, if you break your promise, I will detonate the power I've left behind, and we will both be destroyed together!"

Ouyang Ting snorted coldly, "Rest assured, I, Ouyang Ting, always keep my word. I didn't expect someone like you, Tian Cang Lei, to be so cowardly despite your seniority!"

"Better safe than sorry!" Tian Cang Lei snorted coldly, "I've had enough of the torture in the Heavenly Prison. Even if I die, I won't go back there!"

For whatever reason, a fearful expression appeared on Tian Cang Lei's face.

With a wave of his hand, Ouyang Ting summoned a Thunder Spear into his grasp.

"Power of Thunder, challenging me on Power of Thunder, should I call you ignorant or commend you for your courage?" A look of smugness appeared on Tian Cang Lei's face.

Ouyang Ting pointed his spear at Tian Cang Lei, "Tian Cang Lei, although you were an Azure Sky Realm expert before, now that your Divine Sea is sealed, you can only harness the power of the Sea of Gods Realm. If you underestimate me, I will show you what regret truly means!"

Tian Cang Lei chuckled coldly, "Even at the Sea of Gods Realm, I'm not someone a junior like you can belittle! I will show you why I'm called the Duke of Thunder; in the Thunder Domain, you have a lot to learn!"

"Heavenly Thunder Sword!" Tian Cang Lei exclaimed, and a longsword pulsating with purple thunder light appeared in his hand, none other than his famous weapon, the Heavenly Thunder Sword.

"Thunderclap Flash!" Ouyang Ting's spear trembled, merging him almost entirely into a flash of lightning that charged at Tian Cang Lei.

Tian Cang Lei laughed heartily, "Here you come, Thunder Flash, Sword Breaches the Azure Sky!"

The figures of the two vanished before everyone's eyes, as their speed was too fast; only flashes of lightning could be seen constantly intersecting in the air, accompanied by thunderous claps.

In the high place of the Divine Court, two middle-aged men stood atop a high tower, gazing mildly at the battle below.

"Ouyang, this Tian Cang Lei is no ordinary person, are you really that confident in your son, Ting?" said a man dressed in luxurious purple robes with a smile.

The other man, clad in armor, replied seriously, "Since my son is a part of the Divine Punishment Guard, he must bear his responsibilities. No matter who he faces, as long as it harms the Divine Court's interests, he must lead from the front!"

At this point, the armored man proudly said, "Moreover, Tian Cang Lei's current strength is less than a tenth of his peak. If Ting cannot handle him, then it's time for him to train in the Divine Punishment Forest!"

The Divine Punishment Forest is the foremost of the Ten Great Forbidden Lands, and no one has successfully crossed it. Even Azure Sky Realm experts cannot penetrate its deepest depths.

It's rumored that deep in the Divine Punishment Forest lies a presence equal to the Divine Emperor, an Azure Sky Realm pinnacle Monster Beast, and besides an Immortal Realm Guardian, no one can contend with it.

"Even if I can bear it, I cannot stand the thought!" said the man in purple robes with a smile, "You're too harsh on Ouyang Ting. He is now the finest young talent in our Divine Court! Before long, he'll be able to inherit your title of General of Divine Might!"

The General of Divine Might shook his head, "Honorable Divine Emperor, he still has a long way to go! The General's Residence of Divine Might holds the Emperor's favor dearly, thus we must impose stricter demands on ourselves!"

The Divine Emperor shook his head, "Look, the battle below is about to end."

Indeed, the fight between Tian Cang Lei and Ouyang Ting was nearing its conclusion. Both were exceptionally skilled, with great mastery over the Power of Thunder.

After hundreds of rounds, although Tian Cang Lei had several gunshot wounds, Ouyang Ting also appeared extremely haggard, with numerous sword scars on his body and dark thunder marks on his armor.

"Looks like I underestimated you!" said Tian Cang Lei as he looked at his wounds, wiping them and then licking his hand, "Ouyang Ting, your understanding of the Thunder Attribute has reached such depths, truly impressive, yet unfortunately… you're still too green, not my match!"

Ouyang Ting retorted with a cold smile, "But isn't it you who are more gravely injured now?"

"I'll tell you, only the one who laughs last is the true winner!" Tian Cang Lei suddenly revealed a cunning grin, "You've lost!"
