"H-He is standing still?" Dugu Liubai watched in horror as he saw Duan Li remained rooted on the spot, unmoving as if unfettered by the lightning bolts that was coming straight at him!
Crackle!
BOOMM!! BOOMM!! BOOMM!!
"He is done for.." Dugu Liubai could no longer watch the tragic sight before him as he turned his face away and closed his eyes.
Forgive me Jing Zhianghu.. I wasn"t able to protect him..
Hais!
BOOMM!! BOOMM!!
The torrential strikes of the golden lightning bolts was fierce as if tsunami that were engulfing everything it touches!
Even if it was him whom had almost stepped into the second realm of immortality, he would not have the means to defend against such a devastating might!
The Heavens sure did not pull any punches.. even towards a mere Core formation realm cultivator..
How vicious!
However, just as he shook his head feeling pitiful for the fate that had fallen onto Duan Li, a peculiar ringing sounds echoed out at where the lightning bolts had strucked down before!
Psshiingggg!!
Eh? What"s that sound?
Dugu Liubai opened his eyes wide, and he could not believe what he saw!
The fellow whom he thought would turn into ash was still there, standing tall and mighty, surrounded by a pale blue barrier!
It appears that the Heaven"s punishment did not manage to harm him!
In fact, not a single streak of blood was dropped from the latter"s mouth after all that lightning strike!
Holy-molly!
Am I seeing things? Am I dreaming?
Pah!
Slapping himself in the face, the twitching and burning sensation on his cheek told him that it was the reality. Thus, as soon as he realized this, he was even more stunned!
What the heck is going on?!
...
"What?" Empress Luo narrowed her eyes as she stood up from her seat.
He wasn"t injured in the slightest?
"Just what is the origin of that energy barrier?" she thought to herself.
If it was the latter"s father, Duan Ling, then she could understand it. After all, that person was someone of a realm that she could not even begin to imagine!
Did that person really dot onto this son of his that much to grant such a literally heaven-defying protection?
"H-How can this be! Even lightning bolts of this degree was ineffective against a mortal?!" Elder Jun said with a horrified voice.
Wengg..
Staring at that humming pale blue energy enca.s.sing Duan Li via their real-time holographic projection, he stepped back subconsciously as he was dumbstrucked down to his core with what just transpired.
Such a barrier.. to have the power to negate even the might of the heavens..
Is this even legal?!
In the next moment, he gritted his teeth, "Not yet, the duration for the punishment is not finished yet! Send more of the lightning bolts down!" he instructed as he waved his hand.
I don"t believe that the barrier of that fellow, no matter how heaven-defying it is, could hold on forever!
...
Meanwhile, Duan Li whom was standing still and appeared to be like Mount.Tai before everyone else could not help but to shudder a little bit inside his heart.
Holy-Molly!
"Even though this mystical barrier has managed to protect me, the vibrations from the sheer impact was enough to rattle my body inside out! I almost puked!" he said to himself feeling wary with the lightning bolts that was charging up above, preparing for the second wave of attack!
Had either Dugu Liubai or Elder Jun Xi heard this, they would selflessly open up their legs just to smash at their own b.a.l.l.s viciously in frustration!
A Heaven"s punishment that could put the lives of even immortals in a tight spot had only managed on making the other party of wanting to puke!
However, Duan Li of course, knows a little bit of courtesy regarding giving face, thus, he did not show any of these emotions on his face and only curled up a smile.
"Hahaha! Thank you for that lightning bolts! I"ve managed to consolidate it well within my body!" he said out loud with a snicker.
While the might of these lightning bolts had indeed shocked him, they were still far from being able to do anything to him at all with the help of his mysterious barrier!
After all, the mysterious barrier seemed to be able to negate all sorts of lightning tribulations no matter how strong they were, and shredded them to pieces of lightning elements before being absorbed!
Right now, Duan Li didn"t know why, but these pieces of golden lightning elements was being deposited onto his left arm!
It was just like that time when the Heaven"s punishment came down at him that ended up being absorbed and stored onto his right arm, which then turned out to become the All-Slaying Eternal Great Axe weapon!
Therefore, would the same thing will happen to his left arm next? Would it form another weapon and the sorts?
Or maybe he could ascend his Super Duan Li mode to the second stage?
Kukuku!
He could not help but to antic.i.p.ate for the outcome greatly!
BOOMM!! BOOMMM!!
...
Inside the cave..
"What an invincible power that Lord benefactor has!" Chief Zolak said in awe.
Had he not seen this scene with his own eyes, he would not dare believe it to be true even if he was being beaten to death!
A single human could stand uninjured against the Heaven"s wrath? This will be a legendary story for generations upon generations for his tribe!
"Master"s ability is really hard to fathom.." Di Rou by the side said as she looked up at the figure of her master standing tall like a hero!
She could feel her heart to beat erratically as she saw that strong back of his. From her point of view, Duan Li"s back figure was like that of an unparalleled expert with no equal, and that long shadow of his, why does she felt like he seemed to be lonely?
Could this be the very depiction of the famous saying that once said, "Reaching the apex would only brings in sorrow!"
Hais!
"Duan Li.. no, Master"s power.. if before I could only guess that he is strong, now that a portion of his power has merged together with me.. I could tell for sure that.. Master"s power.. is bottomless!" Bulu that has finally finished stabilizing his newfound cultivation realm suddenly aid as he stood up.
"Son-in-law! You"re finally awake! Look at you now.. you look so mighty already with this new form of yours!" Chief Zolak turned around and stared at him intently, a.n.a.lyzing every nook and cranny of Bulu"s humanoid form.
Even though the latter was far smaller than their original size before, he could vaguely sense that the might of a Komodo was still imbued within Bulu"s body, compressed into that tiny body frame!
In other words, while Bulu had become smaller, if he were to punch, the force would be equal to that of a kick from a Komodo!
Di Rou was surprised when she heard Bulu talking, because the other party was speaking in human tongue!
"You.. could speak human language now?" she said and could not help but be more impressed towards her master.
How is master doing all this?
Then, they heard the laughter of Duan Li outside.
"Ahahaha! Heaven"s Will, if you guys keep this up, I might just spurted out some blood! Keep going!"
"..." everyone.
...
"This d.a.m.ned brat..! He is just leeching off of us!" Elder Jun finally realized that no matter how many waves of lightning bolts was sent down, they could not even injure him the slightest!
On the contrary, the fellow seemed to be cultivating the Heaven"s punishment instead!
Empress Luo pressed her temples together in headache as she sighed, "Haa.. just end this session! The maximum duration for this punishment has been pa.s.sed anyway." she instructed and waved her hand.
...
Zzuuuu..
"Eh? Where are my lightning bolts?" Duan Li stopped laughing and looked up, only to see that the previously dark sky was slowly dissipating!
You guys are finished?
Coming uninvited and leaving as you pleased?
Think I"ll let you?
Hurhurhur!
