Chapter 1182 Saint Gla.s.s Light
Xu Lei’s face alternated between green and white when he saw the gla.s.s light circulating around Zhou Yuan’s body. The anger in his eyes almost gushed out because he finally understood that Zhou Yuan had tricked him!
The tribulation lightning he formed with his Sacred Pupil not only failed to inflict injury to Zhou Yuan, but helped strengthen his body to another level!
This guy deliberately concealed himself with the Genesis Qi barrier to make him appear miserable from being struck by tribulation lightning, but he was in fact using the lightning’s power to strengthen his body!
Moreover…
"How dare you use my tribulation lightning to refine your own body?!" His tribulation lightnings were violent, powerful and contained destructive tendencies, and if too much acc.u.mulated in one’s body, it could lead to an explosion.
No one would be that crazy to endure it with their bodies!
He didn"t understand exactly why Zhou Yuan wasn’t destroyed by the destructive power contained within the lightning.
But Zhou Yuan had no interest in answering to alleviate Xu Lei’s puzzlement. Instead, he checked the changes within his body. Even without circulating Genesis Qi, his surging power was enough to send a chill down one’s spine.
According to his estimation, he could kill anyone with a Genesis Qi foundation of less than 3 billion on the spot with one punch.
"Unfortunately, I still haven’t refined the real Saint Gla.s.s Body.” Zhou Yuan sounded a little disappointed. Although wisps of Saint gla.s.s light were born from his body, his body still wasn’t considered a true Saint gla.s.s body. However, this was normal because if he did reach that level, he could face Nascent Source experts with his bodily strength alone.
Bai Xiaolu"s gla.s.s body also hadn’t reached that level.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yuan chuckled again. He was too greedy because the birth of gla.s.s light was already very difficult and would have taken years of painstaking practice in normal circ.u.mstances.
He already profited hugely to achieve this level from Xu Lei’s tribulation lightning.
After all, he had taken the hardest first step, and with continued practice, he no doubt would achieve a true Saint gla.s.s body in the future.
Therefore, he should be satisfied with achieving the gla.s.s light.
The gla.s.s light was rumoured to linger outside one’s skin like a faint halo and could act as a strong defense s.h.i.+eld. With the mysterious light’s protection, not only would his power greatly increase, his defensive ability would also be greatly enhanced. It could be called a divine light protection.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yuan peered up at the layers of thunderclouds in the sky. The tribulation lightning’s power was almost exhausted and the thunderclouds showed signs of dissipating.
However, Xu Lei seemed unwilling to back down. He still desperately tried to maintain the tribulation lighting.
Boom!
Thunderclouds scudded across the sky and thunder rumbled, seemingly about to erupt.
Roar!
Zhou Yuan opened his mouth and unleashed a long roar. His roar was like a dragon and almost formed a solid sound wave.
The sound wave swept everywhere, dispersing the thunderclouds still trying to acc.u.mulate wherever it pa.s.sed.
When the thunderclouds disappeared, a brilliant shaft of sunlight came through.
Standing amid flares of light, Zhou Yuan smiled indifferently at Xu Lei’s sullen face. “Do you have any tricks left?”
Xu Lei"s face paled a little. He slowly closed his Sacred Pupil that was constantly dripping with blood. He had paid a huge price to summon the tribulation lightning, but it was no use in the end.
And now, he was left temporarily unable to activate his Sacred Pupil, his strongest trump card.
Xu Lei understood that he was no longer a match for Zhou Yuan given his present conditions.
However, he was very resolute. Although reluctant to admit defeat, he no longer attacked recklessly because he knew that he could be killed.
Hu.
Xu Lei took a deep breath and drew a step back.
His retreat meant that he gave up on defending the s.p.a.ce portal. He stepped into a slightly distorted s.p.a.ce, and if he took another step back he could leave the boundary node and Zhou Yuan couldn"t stop him.
"Zhou Yuan, you won this time,” uttered Xu Lei emotionlessly.
"Thank you then,” said Zhou Yuan with a smile, "It"s a pity that your tribulation lightning isn’t long-lasting enough. Otherwise, I could have improved a little bit more.”
The corners of Xu Lei"s mouth twitched when he heard Zhou Yuan"s ridicule!
“A prisoner also has a full meal before their death row. Zhou Yuan, it’s actually for your own good if you were obstructed by me here, because when you meet Jia Tu, you will be utterly defeated till not a piece of your skin is left complete. You will no longer be able to cultivate and become crippled."
"I really want to see then.” Zhou Yuan smiled, but there wasn’t a hint of fear in his eyes. Instead his eyes blazed with antic.i.p.ation and fighting spirit. He had never feared a battle, because in his opinion, strong enemies were polis.h.i.+ng stones to improve his strength.
He had met many powerful enemies over the years, and it was from them that he became increasingly strong.
Xu Lei couldn’t help but snort seeing that Zhou Yuan was unaffected by his threat. His mind is so tough, it’s no wonder he possessed such strength.
"But don"t be so smug. I can"t obstruct you, but you can"t enter this s.p.a.ce portal either,” sneered Xu Lei.
Zhou Yuan calmly looked at the s.p.a.ce portal that stood firmly in the illusory s.p.a.ce. It looked faint but it was connected to the entire formation’s power. Therefore, even if Zhou Yuan exhausted all his strength, he couldn’t move it in the slightest.
There were two requirements to enter the depths of the boundary from this s.p.a.ce portal: one was to defeat Xu Lei and the other was to destroy the majority of the other important nodes.
Only then would the boundary be shaken and reveal its flaw.
The other important nodes were undoubtedly the routes taken by Bai Xiaolu, Guan Qinglong and the others.
"I wonder how the others are..."
Zhou Yuan hesitated for a moment, and then took out a purple-gold bamboo slip. It suddenly glowed and formed a faint light screen in front of him.
His gaze locked on the innermost light spots.
His pupils shrank uncontrollably the moment his gaze landed on the light screen.
This was because he saw two light spots had gone out.
In other words, two people had died in the Sacred Derivation Boundary Formation.
Who were they?!
