Chapter 1144 - Breakthrough
Gongsun Yuanxuan and the others stared at the sky-shattering blue palm seal with their mouths agape, unable to speak for a moment.
This feat proved that Lu Zhou"s palm seal was stronger than the 30,000 Dao inscriptions. Perhaps, it was even stronger than the dragon-like purple lightning. However, was something like that even possible? It was too unbelievable!
Gongsun Yuanxuan did not believe humans could stand above the heavens nor did he believe human cultivators could wield such power. As expected, the clear sky only lasted a few seconds before dark clouds rolled back in.
The sunlight shone on Lu Zhou"s body briefly before it disappeared into the horizon.
Lu Zhou frowned. "Are you joking?"
The palm seal had used up almost all of his supreme mystic power. He had thought it would end the lightning tribulation. He did not expect the dark clouds to return again so quickly. It seemed like the only way was for Lan Xihe to run away.
Lu Zhou descended before he came to a stop a few meters above Lan Xihe.
Lan Xihe seemed like she no longer cared about maintaining the air of the Tower Master of the White Tower Council. She said, "I didn"t expect Pavilion Master Lu"s palm seal to be capable of splitting the sky and the earth…"
Lu Zhou did not respond to her and only looked at her. He really wanted to say she should run away.
However, at this moment, the clouds roiled as the forked lightning struck again. This time, the force of the forked lightning was 100 times stronger than the previous ones. It fell with the might of a tsunami, volcanic eruption, and flood combined.
Lu Zhou flashed and stood above Lan Xihe before he looked at the sky at an inhuman speed.
Lan Xihe"s astrolabe was now linked to the Dao inscriptions so she could not leave easily.
Meanwhile, Gongsun Yuanxuan clenched his hands upon seeing this. "Very good!"
The results Gongsun Yuanxun had predicted were about to become a reality.
At the same time, Lu Zhou shattered an Impeccable Card.
Buzz!
The Golden Buddha"s Body towered in the sky around Lu Zhou. s.h.i.+ning golden energy seals shot out in all directions.
The forked lightning struck the Golden Buddha"s body, causing firework-like sparks to fly everywhere. It was a beautiful and magnificent sight.
The cultivators of the White Tower Council watched the scene in the sky in a daze; all of them were in awe.
On the other hand, Si Wuya, Little Yuan"er, and Ye Tianxian were relatively calmer.
Only Ning Wanqing was left in the dark. He did not know what the result was and grew even more anxious. He could only rely on his senses to feel the fluctuations. Since Lu Zhou had used the supreme mystic power and the Golden Buddha"s Body, he naturally could not sense it. Therefore, he thought something bad had happened. However, he suddenly heard the exclamations in his surroundings.
"To think Pavilion Master Lu has such strength!"
"Our White Tower Council is really fortunate!"
"How profound must his cultivation base be to be able to fight against the heavens?!"
…
The Golden Buddha"s Body shone dazzlingly in the sky as bolt after bolts of lightning struck it.
Lan Xihe said in surprise, "You didn"t use the power of heaven and earth?"
The Golden Buddha Body was a Buddhist"s grand technique.
Lu Zhou ignored Lan Xihe. While he enjoyed the admiration and awe from the crowd, he was worrying inwardly. There was not enough time; what should he do next? He felt a sense of restlessness within his body as though he was about to break through! As soon as ten seconds were up, he was going to have to do something. He could not hold on anymore.
Ten seconds flew by in just a blink of an eye, and the Golden Buddha"s Body rapidly shrank before it vanished.
Bolts of forked lightning flashed and struck like rain.
"Hmm?" Lan Xihe was puzzled. "Why aren"t you using the Golden Buddha"s Body anymore?"
Lu Zhou turned around and looked at the forked lightning that filled the sky. At this time, he felt as though time had slowed down. It was as though he had been submerged underwater.
The White Tower Council cultivators looked up, worried.
"Hmm, I"m fine?" Lu Zhou was puzzled.
"You"re fine?"Lu Zhou was puzzled. He originally planned to resist the forked lightning using his Golden Buddha"s Body and his Deadly Strike Cards. However, he did not feel anything even after the lightning struck him. He looked at the sky and the forked lightning that kept striking him. At this moment, a hint of blue light swiftly entered his Dantian"s sea of Qi.
At the same time, the other forked lightning struck Lan Xihe.
Lu Zhou suddenly felt a buzzing in his mind, and he closed his eyes immediately. He could see a blue humanoid figure in his Dantian"s sea of Qi.
"Five Energies Universe avatar?"
It was his second avatar.
He watched as the power of heaven and earth like blue electric arcs struck the Five Energies Universe avatar. However, not only was the avatar undamaged, but it seemed to be greedily absorbing the power.
...
Countless bolts of forked lightning continued to strike at Lu Zhou and Lan Xihe. The duo seemed frozen in the air at this moment.
Lan Xihe closed her eyes. The dark blue energy of the power of heaven and earth continued to strike and injure her.
At this time, Lu Zhou saw Lan Xihe"s body flickering strangely.
"What"s going on? Everything about Lan Xihe"s strange today! I"m blocking most of the strikes. Most of the power of heaven and earth is striking me like a waterfall, and she"s only suffering from what can be considered as splashes from the waterfall…"
…
On the ground.
No one knew what was happening, and no one dared to fly up to have a look as well.
Gongsun Yuanxuan sighed. "What a pity."
…
Lu Zhou sensed his Dantian"s sea of Qi again.
The blue avatar was still greedily absorbing the power of heaven and earth.
"Who knew something like this was possible?"
The blue avatar was completely unaffected. It was like a fish that was unafraid of the water or a bird that was unafraid of the sky.
The powerful and surging energy continued to pour into the blue avatar.
A crisp sound rang in the Lu Zhou"s Dantian"s sea of Qi soon after.
He could sense his blue avatar had grown several sizes.
appeared in the sea of energy in Lu Zhou"s Dantian.
Lu Zhou felt that the blue avatar had become several times bigger.
"Six Recombinant Trigram Lines avatar?"
The blue avatar continued to grow.
Lu Zhou hurriedly maintained the size of the avatar so it would be contained in his Dantian"s sea of Qi.
The blue avatar continued to absorb the power of heaven and earth as the forked lightning continued to strike.
After about a quarter of an hour, the familiar crisp noise rang out again.
"Seven Star Soul avatar!"
Even with the knowledge he possessed, Lu Zhou was still surprised by his blue avatar. The speed at which it was growing had completely overturned his understanding.
…
After another fifteen minutes, the number of forked lightning in the sky decreased rapidly.
At this time, Little Yuan"er said anxiously, "I"m going to save master!"
"Don"t go!" Si Wuya grabbed Little Yuan"er. "Not even Thousand Realms Whirling cultivators can deal with the power of heaven and earth."
"But master..."
"Look carefully. Under normal circ.u.mstances, if you"re hit by the power of heaven and earth, you"ll either die or get injured. However, master looks completely fine. In fact, he seems completely unaffected by it…" Si Wuya said.
Little Yuan"er looked at the sky intently and discovered Si Wuya was telling the truth.
…
At this time, Lu Zhou could sense the blue avatar"s absorption rate was beginning to slow down. At the same time, he felt a cool energy coming out from the blue avatar. He was taken aback when he discovered his previously depleted supreme mystic power was already filled to the brim.
"Is this one of the blue avatar"s abilities?" Lu Zhou discovered not only was the supreme mystic power fully replenished, but it seemed like the total amount of supreme mystic power he possessed at one time had increased as well.
Suddenly, a familiar crisp noise rang out again, pulling Lu Zhou back to his senses.
Primal Qi and the supreme mystic power filled up his Dantian"s sea of Qi immediately.
The blue avatar had successfully broken through and became an Eight Methods Connected avatar!
