Chapter 718: Double the Lightning Strike

“It’s been blocked!”

At ground level, Ji Yuanfeng and all the others were relieved to see that.

Few people thought that they could have resisted such an appalling test of the heavens except Ji Yuanfeng and the Deputy Chief.

Some of the Ocean State Legends wore bitter smiles, because they would have been vaporized if they were the ones going through that test!

Only a monster like Su Ping could have invoked such a horrifying trial and endured it!

Boom~!

The dark clouds above Su Ping’s head were still surging after the first pillar of lightning; a second lightning bolt was brewing!

Su Ping raised his head and stared at the clouds with glittering eyes.

He had survived through a hundred lightning strikes in the Demigod Burial, although mostly because of riding on other people’s tests. He was no stranger to them; he found that the lightning strike he had just endured seemed to be much more powerful than those he had previously experienced!

Nevertheless, it wasn’t too much for him to bear!

The intimidating lightning strike earlier was enough to make Void State warriors feel pressure, but it caused nothing but a minor strain to him!

His body was already as hard as that of the Fate State beings when he attained the second level of the Solar Bulwark. Void State attacks were basically harmless to him.

“Come on!” roared Su Ping, opening his arms.

Dazzling golden light emanated from his body as he was ready to take the next strike.

He hovered in the air proudly and brilliantly at the moment, as if he were a god walking the earth!

The world was completely dim behind the defense lines; many people who were hiding in the shelter saw the dazzling golden light!

The formerly rampaging wild beasts halted altogether when the lightning storm that Su Ping summoned showed up. The air was rife with a sense of danger under the thunderstorm, and the wild beasts were awed by the heavens again. Those less bold among them even crouched.

All creatures had been scared of lightning since ancient times, not to mention those heavy, gloomy clouds caused by the Heaven’s Test that were almost pressing the ground.

Boom!!!

As if responding to Su Ping, the clouds surged even more violently and shot out another lightning bolt. It wasn’t as magnificent as the earlier one, but it was much faster and reached Su Ping in the blink of an eye.

Su Ping was completely enshrouded by lightning.

Su Ping’s silver hair was fluttering while wrapped in the massive power discharge, and golden light shined from his eyes. He sensed the pain in his chest when he was hit by the lightning, but it wasn’t serious; it only made his blood boil.

Heaven’s Test...

Su Ping detected a weird power in the clouds that were exploding.

There seemed to be laws hidden inside the clouds, or something that was beyond them.

He had participated in other people’s tests in the Demigod Burial almost a hundred times, but his understanding had never been deepe; all the feelings he had before suddenly popped up in his heart.

Epiphany wasn’t something that would happen for no reason; it had to be based on one’s experiences and understanding!

Su Ping examined that power while in the middle of the exploding lightning, and soon entered a mysterious state of perception.

Heaven’s Test...

Thunder!

Boom~!

Su Ping closed his eyes and stood in midair. Dark clouds were surging and roaring like dragons above him. The lightning bolts that were being shot out seemed to be destroying the world!

People could see the glittering lightning bolts in every place behind the defense lines; that illuminated the world under the dim clouds!

Those lightning bolts were half frozen and striking something. It seemed to be a battle between the heavens and a human!

The scene was so shocking that many people were astounded.

Boom!

Boom!

Su Ping was entirely covered in lightning and became even more brilliant. His body was like golden glass. The consecutive lightning strikes didn’t extinguish one bit of the divine power in his body, but made his skin even more flawless; it sent out splendid light as if it were an artifact!

A scorching golden pattern was surfacing on Su Ping’s back; it was a Golden Crow that just unfolded its wings!

The primordial aura of a demon was spread out of Su Ping. He had basically inherited the Golden Crow bloodline ever since he reached the Solar Bulwark’s second level, and he was essentially a little Golden Crow!

The Golden Crow was an ancient beast whose aura had been driven out of Su Ping’s body because of the lightning strikes and permeated between the sky and the earth.

“Is he—Is he really human?”

“I feel like he is a super beast!”

Ji Yuanfeng, Xue Yunzhen and the others were appalled; Su Ping wasn’t at all destroyed by the thunderstorm. On the contrary, he was becoming increasingly stronger, as if he would tear apart the world!

Su Ping’s aura alone had awed them, making them feel the urge to kneel before him!

The man seemed even more intimidating than the Lord of the Deep Caves!

“That guy...”

The Beast Kings coming from all directions were shocked; some of them trembled as if they were looking up at a supreme being.

The Heavenly King of Good and Evil, the Otherworld Heavenly King and the other Fate State wild beasts were also scared.

All of them had the same thought: we can’t let this human continue the test!

Would it be horrifying if he really passed the test?

Although the idea hovered in their heads, none of them had dared to take action; they stood where they were as if having been rooted!

They didn’t have the courage to attack Su Ping, who was already releasing a magnificent pressure, and they didn’t want to be consumed by the lightning strikes. None of them was confident of enduring them like Su Ping did!

The current power of the lightning strikes had reached the Fate State!

Even Ji Yuanfeng, the Deputy Chief, and the many Fate State beasts felt a great deal of pressure too. If they ever got themselves involved, they would infuriate the clouds and make them twice as violent!

The closeby Lord of the Deep Caves was focused on absorbing the thousand-year astral power. It concealed its aura, fearing that the clouds might detect it and strike it too.

Its eyes contracted when it saw Su Ping who was floating at the same altitude where its head was. It was even more shocking to see the golden tattoo on Su Ping’s back.

“It’s—It’s the aura of an ancient demon...”

It sensed the aura of an ancient demon from Su Ping!

It couldn’t be more familiar with that vibe. The reason behind its evolution was the power of ancient demons in its bloodline. It didn’t expect that human to also have the power!

There was also an ancient aura, brilliant and sacred apart from the demon’s aura. It awed the Lord of the Deep Caves from the bottom of its heart.

I cannot let him pass the test. I can’t... The idea popped up in the Lord’s head. It didn’t think much of Su Ping earlier, for he would still be a major level below it even if he became a legendary warrior, it would still be able to crush Su Ping into smithereens!

However, the Lord of the Deep Caves’ ominous feeling became stronger at that moment. It finally roared at the beast kings on the ground, “Stop him!”

The roar echoed in the world and woke up all the beast kings that had been lost in a daze due to Su Ping’s test. All of them changed their expressions.

Ji Yuanfeng and the other humans were also shocked and infuriated; all of them had realized the Lord’s intention. It didn’t do anything, and yet it asked the other beast kings to disrupt Su Ping. Even if they were killed, they would still affect the Heaven’s Test and increase its difficulty; Su Ping could also die along with them!

“Damn it!”

Ji Yuanfeng and the others were exasperated and could only try to stop them.

The beast kings, however, looked at each other in bewilderment, not daring to step forth.

Seeing that, the Lord of the Deep Caves became incensed and glared at one of the Void State beast kings. “GO!!!”

The Beast King trembled but it didn’t dare to disobey. It quickly flashed and charged at Su Ping who was in the sky.

Ji Yuanfeng and the others’ expressions changed and tried to stop it.

On the other hand, the Fate State beasts also took action; they didn’t attack Su Ping but simply blocked Ji Yuanfeng and the other humans.

Ji Yuanfeng and his fellows were quite anxious; the test was extremely important at the moment. Going through the test in public was prone to disturbances.

A deafening roar came from a distance, exactly at that moment.

Roar!!

Far away in the Longjiang Base City, the Inferno Dragon—which Su Ping had deployed to assist Xie Jinshui—soared back and let out a roar that echoed throughout the battlefield.

The roar had been inherited from a Star State dragon king. It shocked and frightened some of the Fate State beast kings.

Although their fear was soon gone, they were nonetheless shocked.

The Inferno Dragon quickly flew over while producing a resounding boom, ablaze with lightning and fire. It crashed into the Void State beast king, and divine light burst out of its claws, tearing the enemy apart!

The Lord of the Deep Caves was shocked and infuriated. They might be swallowed if their energy affected Su Ping underneath Su Ping’s thunderstorm, but his battle pet wasn’t afraid of anything. The pets’ attack would be considered as Su Ping’s own because of the power of contract. They could resist the lightning strikes without doubling their power.

“Go! Fate State beasts, kill him!”

“Bloody Eyes, go!” roared the Lord of the Deep Caves.

Some of the Fate State demon kings from the Deep Caves changed their expressions. The Thousand-eyed Demon Beast in particular, trembling with contracting eyes. It looked at the infuriated Lord of the Deep Caves with desperation in its eyes, not expecting that it would end up as cannon fodder before it could enjoy the world that they had finally conquered after hundreds of years of waiting!

“Ahhhhhhh...”

The Thousand-eyed Demon Beast dashed forward angrily, ready to die with Su Ping!

The Inferno Dragon was ablaze with astral power and tried to stop the enemy, but, there was a major strength gap between them. It was simply frozen, unable to move anymore.

After a boom, the rampant bloody rays darted out towards Su Ping.

Su Ping opened his eyes at that moment; brilliant and sharp light shot from his eyes through the darkness, illuminating the world.

His eyes were entirely indifferent and emotionless, as if he would have seen all the tragedies in the human world. He looked down coldly with divine light in his eyes.

A lightning bolt was raised, shattering the many bloody rays. Then, it turned into an axe a dozen meters long and that slashed at the enemy!

After a boom, the space in between was cracked; even the secondary space was also cracked. The axe cut the Thousand-eyed Demon Beast directly.

The eyes all over the Thousand-eyed Demon Beast’s body almost popped out. It could hardly believe it had been unable to block Su Ping’s attack!

That’s impossible!

It roared, with its blood and soul burning. However, halfway through the roar; its body had been cut apart by the lightning axe!

The scene was most shocking to the many Fate State beast kings down below.

The Thousand-eyed Demon Beast—in the advanced phase of the Fate State, it wasn’t weak at all, and yet Su Ping killed it so easily!

Boom~!

The clouds above Su Ping’s head roiled even more crazily after detecting the Thousand-eyed Demon Beast’s attack and prepared more powerful lightning strikes.

Su Ping raised his head and looked at the clouds hopefully!

The previous lightning strikes weren’t good enough for him. He looked forward to those which have been more powerful and catastrophic.

“The path of lightning...”

Su Ping closed his eyes and contemplated again after examining the intense power of lightning around him.

The Lord of the Deep Caves was quite grim while seeing Su Ping contemplate; Su Ping had grown so much in just one moment... as if he would have trained hard for years.

After looking at the lightning strikes that were getting more and more violent, it didn’t urge the other demon kings to attack anymore.

One of the Fate State beasts has already attacked. The others couldn’t have infuriated the clouds to a higher level; they could only get themselves killed.

The Lord of the Deep Caves had to take action in person, or ask the Ocean Sovereign to do it.

However, it couldn’t find her at the moment. Otherwise, if she attacked with her shallow understanding of laws, the clouds would probably launch lightning strikes that entailed the power of laws, which would be ten times more destructive and could kill Su Ping easily!

It could do the same on its own. However, the lightning strikes that were to be launched might be too powerful for it to resist, as it was heavily wounded at the moment!

Phew!

The Lord of the Deep Caves quickly absorbed the accumulated astral power to heal itself. It also prayed that Su Ping would be heavily wounded, based on the test, so that it could kill him easily later.

Back at ground level, all the Fate State beasts were relieved to find that the Lord of the Deep Caves didn’t urge them to attack anymore.

Ji Yuanfeng and the humans were also relaxed. They stopped and looked at Su Ping with worry, as the clouds were evidently more violent than before. They wondered if Su Ping could survive.

Boom~!

In the blink of an eye, a powerful lightning strike descended from the sky and hit Su Ping again.

Su Ping remained absolutely still and weathered through the lightning strike.

After the lightning strike’s effect ended, a second one followed me immediately; not giving Su Ping any time to rest.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Su Ping looked like a piece of iron that was being forged by a hammer of lightning in the sky.

All the wild beasts hoped that Su Ping would be smashed to the ground by the lightning strikes, but his body only became more and more brilliant after the strikes.

“So horrifying.”

“Every lightning strike is as powerful as one of my attacks with my full strength!”

“The lightning strikes are becoming more and more powerful...”

Ji Yuanfeng was quite shocked, as the destructiveness of the lightning bolts that Su Ping endured were terrifying. He could have only endured three of them, even if he were in his best status!

Su Ping, on the other hand, had endured ten of them!

Ye Wuxiu, Xue Yunzhen and the others nearby were all at a loss for words. They stared at Su Ping, hoping that he could make it through no matter what!

The Inferno Dragon floated like a guard next to Su Ping, with its back against him; it looked around at all the wild beasts, in case any of them would secretly attack.

Boom!

Boom! Boom!

In the dark and vast sky, nothing except the explosions of lightning strikes could be heard.

The number of lightning strikes had far exceeded the usual test; nobody knew when they would stop.
