Ch. 3901..3910
Chapter 3901 The Spooky Atmosphere
“That thing is impenetrable! How crazy is that?” Cheriette was blown away.
She had used nearly eighty percent of her power to strike the bone. Such intense power would have shattered an iron piece reinforced by the spiritual ley line into bits.
Yet, it did not have any effect on the unpleasant-looking charred bone. This is going to be an excellent material for a midrange weapon!
All of a sudden, Larissa’s voice emerged from the back. “Look at those bones! Quick!” Cheriette looked in the direction Larissa pointed and noticed a crystal-like bone with a yellow hue.
Larissa picked up the bone, and out of curiosity, she knocked it against the charred bone. Click! Following a crisp sound that came from the collision, the charred bone was smashed into pieces.
Cheriette was thunderstruck. Did the yellow bone turn the charred bone I failed to destroy into dust?
“The luster of the two bones looks different, so their hardness is also vastly different,” Larissa deduced. She immediately took a sidelong glance at the surroundings, hoping to find the other bones with a similar luster.
Quickly, the two women found a few large white bones with the same luster. They believed those bones belonged to a type of beast.
Among all the bones, the skull was the most well-preserved, and its protruding, sharp horns were exceptionally translucent.
At one glance, one might think that the bones were spared from the attack by the Heavenly Thunder, but after studying them closely, Cheriette and Larissa realized an electric current was coursing through the surface.
A network of terrifying lightning energy formed around the white bones. The moment the two women got closer to the bones, the unforgiving lightning energy instantly struck the energy shield.
“Step back!” Cheriette warned in a serious voice.
Larissa stayed away from the bones. They knew the lightning energy from the white bones would inflict severe injuries on them.
They might even lose their lives for getting too near to the bones!
The difference between the yellow and white bones was worlds apart.
“These bones might be Subdivine Bones.” Cheriette made a wild guess.
Larissa concurred. With a grim expression, she said, “Let’s continue to look for the more powerful Divine Bones.”
Although Larissa was overwhelmed with fear, they still had to continue hunting for Divine Bones.
Instead of risking their lives for Subdivine Bones, they were determined to find the most invincible Divine Bones.
After a brief discussion, the two women decided to extend their journey to Arctic Lake.
Fearing they might awaken the mystical creature in Dragon’s Grave Valley, they held their breath and trod as cautiously as possible.
Rumor had it that a mysterious creature who could dive freely in the Sea of Heavenly Thunder would roam around Dragon’s Grave Valley.
The thought of bumping into the mystical creature caused Cheriette and Larissa to shudder. The fear of the unknown was indeed the worst.
Buzz!
The closer they got to the lake, the more terrified they were, as they could hear the buzzing sound of the electric current.
Although the energy shield was protecting them from the electric current, they still felt a shiver down their spines.
At that point, they wished they could run away. Had Levi not given them the order, they would never have set foot in such a dangerous area.
Rumble!
Suddenly, a streak of lightning arched across the sky, lighting up the entire Arctic Lake. Cheriette and Larissa could not help but tremble.
The two women had thought the lightning orb hovering atop the lake had changed its course and was charging at them.
After tilting their heads to look in Levi’s direction, they noticed he was standing still in the same spot, looking like a war god awaiting his enemy.
“Come on, let’s go!” They exchanged glances to boost their confidence.
After exhausting every ounce of their energy, Cheriette and Larissa finally arrived at the edge of Arctic Lake.
Chapter 3902 Top Notch Divine Bones
The two women stopped in their tracks. The baffling sight before them made them gasp in response.
Arctic Lake was completely different when observed up close than at some distance away. Previously, the oddity of the lake’s surface caught their attention, while the uneasiness and fear they felt when approaching the lake were due to Heavenly Thunder.
However, both Cheriette and Larissa were stunned by the astonishing sight after they managed to get a closer look.
Zzz! The seemingly calm and peaceful surface of the lake, though dark as obsidian when observed from afar, was actually buzzing with electricity.
This was no ordinary lake. It was a lake of thunder! “The water of the lake looked black from afar, but it now seems it was all an optical illusion!” Cheriette lamented.
Upon closer scrutiny, however, the water was actually see-through, and one could clearly discern about three meters beneath the surface.
It was difficult to ascertain what was further below that as the lake ran deep. “Not only that, the temperature of the lake is unusually low. This is going against the law of nature,” Larissa added in surprise.
Cheriette shivered uncontrollably following Larissa’s comment as she started to feel the chills.
They hadn’t felt it when they were some distance away. However, the two women started to feel the bone-chilling frigidness as they got closer to the lake.
A white fog hung above the icy black water, cold enough to freeze the air. Under normal circumstances, the strong current and high temperature of Heavenly Thunder would result in an enormous rise in the temperature of its surroundings.
However, given the unusually low temperature of Arctic Lake, even the heat from Heavenly Thunder could not prevent the water vapor in the air from freezing.
The absolute zero temperature of Arctic Lake also caused Heavenly Thunder to not strike the surface of the water. Instead, it formed buzzing clouds of electricity atop the surface of the lake and crystallized the air around it.
“I think that this place would be a frozen hell if it weren’t for Heavenly Thunder,” Cheriette chattered through her teeth.
Their energy shield could stave off the pressure incited by Heavenly Thunder, as well as prevent the restraint of earth ley lines. However, it was useless against the cold.
To prevent themselves from freezing to death, Cheriette and Larissa were left with no choice but to warm themselves up by practicing their techniques.
“Look over there!” Larissa uttered suddenly as she pointed out front.
Cheriette traced her gaze and noticed a femur-shaped bone planted in between rocks right by the edge of Arctic Lake.
The rocks on the edge of Arctic Lake were hardened by Heavenly Thunder to the point that even an ordinary ultimate weapon would not be able to split them open.
Hence, one couldn’t help but wonder how the bone ended up in between the rocks.
Moreover, the bone gleamed with a colorful luster when the sun shone on it, forming a captivating electric cloud around it.
The crystal-like bone had a divine glow to it, emanating a mysterious aura.
It was as if the exquisite crystalline structure had inosculated with nature, enchanting anyone who spared a single glance at it.
Even though Cheriette had no idea what true Divine Bones looked like, the bone that was right in front of her somehow fit her picture of how a Divine Bone should be.
It was different with Larissa. Coming from a super sect like Eclipse, she had seen her fair share of everything, and she was fortunate enough to have seen a small piece of Divine Bone before.
However, it paled in contrast with the bone in front of her. It was apparent that the small piece of Divine Bone that she had seen was nothing compared to this magnificent one before her.
“This is definitely a top-notch Divine Bone!” Larissa exclaimed. Cheriette was thrilled as well. She hadn’t expected that the mission would go so smoothly.
Chapter 3903 Cannot Get Near Divine Bones
Cheriette grew even more excited after Larissa confirmed her surmise. Seeing as they had completed Levi’s order, they could finally leave the dangerous place.
The two women hurriedly approached the Divine Bone. However, the electric clouds on the surface of the lake buzzed erratically as soon as they took a few steps toward it.
Then, a terrifying blaze of thunder struck their energy shield. Kaboom! The surface of the energy shield cracked open, and the outer layers shattered.
Not only that, but the purple blaze of thunder was also able to penetrate through their shield and shoot right at Larissa and Cheriette.
The two women hurriedly used their techniques to defend themselves. Still, they were sent hurtling off into the distance before smashing heavily on the ground.
Both Larissa and Cheriette coughed out mouthfuls of blood as their breaths weakened.
Luckily, they were able to patch up their energy shield in time and did not suffer further injuries. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have survived.
“That wave of energy is too great. We can’t even get near the Divine Bone,” Cheriette said in a defeated manner as she wiped the blood dribbling down the corner of her mouth.
Larissa sighed and said helplessly, “It would seem the Divine Bone has fused with the energy of Arctic Lake, especially since it seems to have a mind of its own. We’re considered hostile whenever we’re in its vicinity, and it will attack us with lightning energy.”
Nothing felt more depressing than being in the vicinity of a great treasure yet being unable to seize it.
The lightning energy of Arctic Lake was enough to annihilate Cheriette and Larissa. No amount of energy shields would be able to save them.
Just as Larissa surmised, the Divine Bone had become one with Arctic Lake. Nothing would happen if they stayed put and did not try to seize it.
On the contrary, it would launch the lightning energy of Arctic Lake as soon as anyone attempted to get near it.
The realization made Larissa and Cheriette exchange despairing glances with each other.
“Judging by the intensity of the lightning energy, I reckon nobody will be able to get near Arctic Lake, let alone go into the lake to look for other magical herbs. Even if the sect leader of Eclipse falls into the lake, I’m afraid that he, too, will be pulverized within a second,” Cheriette said with a sigh.
Larissa did not object to her statement as it resonated with her own thoughts as well.
After all, more Divine Bones were buried deep within Arctic Lake, and only parts of a femur bone were visible. One would have to dive into the frigid lake to gather the treasure.
Seeing that it was already difficult to even get near Arctic Lake, diving into the lake was mission impossible.
“It would seem like this Divine Bone possesses some formidable energy as well. I think it has integrated lightning energy from the lightning strikes over the years,” Larissa explained.
Exasperation was written all over her face. Even if they somehow managed to get through Arctic Lake, Larissa was certain that even touching the Divine Bone was enough to decimate them.
“Master, we can’t even get close to the Divine Bone!”
“That’s right, Lord Garrison. We couldn’t overcome the lightning energy at Arctic Lake!”
The two women turned back and reported to Levi.
Kaboom!
Before Levi could reply to them, however, the rumbling thunder in the sky stopped abruptly, and even the electric clouds hovering atop Arctic Lake dissipated.
Then, it was all silent.
Levi did not appear relaxed at the seemingly favorable change. On the contrary, he grew solemn.
Cheriette and Larissa immediately looked toward the lightning orb hovering atop the lake, and all color drained from their faces.
They couldn’t help but shudder at the sight as their breathing turned rapid and shallow. It was as if they had encountered a horrifying demon.
The lightning orb had expanded to the size of a football field. It emanated such glaring lights that nobody could look at it directly.
The terrifying pressure of lightning energy incited feelings of despair in the people who were in its vicinity.
“This Heavenly Thunder could spell doom for the entire world!” Cheriette remarked as she cast an apprehensive look at Levi.
Chapter 3904 Someone In Hiding
Larissa’s delicate frame was trembling all over as she watched Levi intently. At that moment, the matter of her life and death depended on him bringing them through this attack.
If she were being honest with herself, Larissa had little confidence in Levi.
Although Levi had extraordinary fighting skills, the giant lightning orb floating in the sky had drawn all the lightning energy from Dragon’s Grave Valley.
It was enough lightning energy to destroy the entire world.
Even the armor forged from the hardest material from Kenfort would be turned into ashes in an instant, let alone their soft human flesh.
“You two go and mark the locations of the Divine Bones and the magical herbs. Don’t worry about how we’re going to get them. Go now! Quick!” Levi ordered.
Levi was completely focused, his eyebrows tightly knitted in concentration. All his attention was channeled into the present moment.
The stray crackles of energy released by the giant lightning orb felt dangerously violent, and Levi knew he had to be very cautious.
The two women did not question Levi and hurried to search for the Divine Bones and magical herbs as he had requested.
Naturally, Cheriette and Larissa did not dare to enter the Arctic Lake. They only looked carefully around the shoreline.
The energy in the Arctic Lake was more powerful than ever. It may be because lightning energy had seeped into its waters.
The air, too, was icier than it was before. Although the two women kept using their techniques to keep out the cold, their limbs still felt stiff and frozen.
Even the restraining energy humming from the earth ley lines on the shore was stronger than it had been. It could be felt by the two women even through the thick energy shield separating their feet from the ground.
All this was making it difficult for Cheriette and Larissa to move. Their feet felt heavy, and they were so tired that they were soon out of breath.
The cold air was accompanied by sparks of electric energy crackling in the atmosphere. It was as if the God of Thunder himself had descended into the mortal world. The women could not help being awed by the sight.
However, unbeknownst to them, a pair of eyes had been watching them in secret.
Levi, who was deep in his preparation for the Heavenly Thunder attack, turned around suddenly. Whether consciously or not, he cast his eyes in a certain direction.
At that moment, Levi could feel someone watching him covertly.
However, just as he lifted his head to look, the feeling disappeared.
Levi immediately sent his energy out to probe the surrounding area, but there was nothing to be found.
The Heavenly Thunder attack is imminent. I have to put everything else aside until this matter is dealt with!
Levi turned his attention back to preparing for the inevitable assault of the Heavenly Thunder.
Before the thought had even left his head, a sudden terrifying force erupted from beneath his feet.
Crack! Crack!
Caught off guard, Levi’s feet sank into the ground.
Then came the power of the earth ley line. This time, the center of the power was focused on Levi.
It was as if it was trying to tear Levi’s body into quarters, limb from limb.
“It seems this is just a taste of the Heavenly Thunder attack!”
Levi ran through some basic techniques. His feet began exerting force to counteract the terrifying force trying to tear him apart.
Boom!
The violent force dissipated, and the terrible feeling of being torn apart subsided. Levi felt as light as a bird as he regained control of his body.
At that moment, the giant lightning orb suddenly moved to hover above Levi’s head.
Snap!
Bolts of Heavenly Thunder rained down on Levi so rapidly that there was nowhere for Levi to run to.
It was as if the entire galaxy was rushing down toward him.
“Is it finally happening?”
Levi’s eyes flashed dangerously as his fighting spirit kicked in. He had no plans on avoiding the Heavenly Thunder strikes bombarding him.
The burning sensation, coupled with the formidable energy of the lightning, was terrifying. He ran through several techniques before leaping into the air, right into the middle of the attacks.
Chapter 3905 Let Me See Your Strength
It was as if Levi was trapped in a world devoid of color. All he could see around him were the white flashes of lightning, scorching hot and blindingly bright.
Even the very fabric of space where the Heavenly Thunder was attacking was distorting. “What potent lightning energy!”
Levi was alarmed when he realized that he felt a sharp tingling sensation that turned into numbness whenever the lightning touched his skin.
Although the sensation only lasted for a split second, it had never happened before in any other Heavenly Thunder attack.
This was enough to show that the Heavenly Thunder unleashed by the giant lightning orb was purer and more powerful than any other ordinary Heavenly Thunder.
No wonder it took so long to gather all that lightning! It must have taken all that time to refine and purify the power of the Heavenly Thunder to make it that much more lethal!
Crack!
Lightning sparks danced across Levi’s skin, emitting high-pitched crackles.
At that moment, Levi, who had already jumped into the air, felt a powerful force dragging him back to the ground.
“Is this going to be a two-pronged attack?”
Levi resisted the force with all his strength. However, his body still descended involuntarily for a short distance. The gravity of the pulling force became stronger as he got closer to the ground.
At the same time, the giant lightning orb unleashed a second wave of Heavenly Thunder down on him. Each bolt of lightning threatened to smash Levi into the ground.
Levi was unnerved. He had not expected the earth ley line and the Heavenly Thunder in the Dragon’s Grave Valley to interact with each other in such a way. It was as though they were all spiritually aware.
Such a cooperative and destructive attack was launched at any creature who disrupted the energy balance of this area in order to restore the balance.
At that moment, Levi was undoubtedly guilty of destroying the balance.
However, after withstanding the first wave of lightning, Levi’s physical strength and speed had increased.
The effect was greater than that of metamorphosing at a large dragon ley line, which came as a pleasant surprise to Levi.
Although there were dangers to resisting a Heavenly Thunder attack, the benefits were well worth the effort.
“I want to see how strong the Heavenly Thunder can be! Keep coming at me!”
Levi gathered all his strength and turned to face the barrage of Heavenly Thunder rushing toward him.
Larissa and Cheriette, on the other hand, were still deep in their search. However, the thrum of the ley line’s powers under their feet was too much to bear. It took all their strength just to lift their foot to take a single step.
Eventually, it was difficult for them to even move. It felt as if an ancient beast laying beneath the ground was threatening to break through the surface at any moment.
The power of the ley line twisted and disfigured their energy shields until several layers actually shattered. It was then the two women began panicking.
However, at that moment, Levi’s entire attention was devoted to resisting the Heavenly Thunder attack. He had no time to repair the energy shields for the women.
“The power of the ley line is too strong! I don’t think my body can bear it anymore!” Cheriette cried out. Her voice trembled with exertion.
Larissa was not much stronger than Cheriette. The force of the earth ley line seemed to be tearing her apart, and all her efforts to resist had no effect on it.
Crack!
The sound of a bone fracturing was swiftly followed by Cheriette’s high-pitched scream. The force had overcome her and caused a fracture in her leg.
Just as the two women were about to be overwhelmed, the force suddenly disappeared as if it had all been in their imagination.
Whoosh!
The women could feel the power of the earth ley line rushing in Levi’s direction.
It was as if something was drawing the power of the earth ley line away from them and toward Levi.
“That was so close!”
Cheriette rubbed her right leg, and a piercing pain shot up her body. She quickly took an elixir which immediately eased the pain.
“We shouldn’t stay here for too long. Let’s go further away,” Larissa suggested.
Cheriette nodded in agreement. She, too, did not dare to linger any longer. The memory of the terrifying force still haunted her.
Chapter 3906 The Real Secret
The two women fled until they were about thirty meters away from Levi. Only then did the pressure from the earth ley line reduce.
Of course, its energy was still present, but it was not powerful enough to harm their bodies.
“I wonder how Master is doing,” said Larissa with concern.
Cheriette was silent for a moment before she remarked, “There’s no Heavenly Thunder here, so Lord Garrison is still safe for now.”
With that, they glanced toward the massive ball of lightning in the distance.
The white light from the electricity looked like an upside-down milky way, and Levi was completely covered in it.
Despite being so far from the source, they could still feel its power.
Hopefully he can get out of this safely.
They prayed the same prayer in their hearts, partially to reassure themselves that Levi would be fine.
Meanwhile, Levi was surrounded by thunderbolts that were trying to destroy his body.
However, thanks to the basic techniques, the thunderbolts were only strengthening Levi’s body and meridians.
As if realizing its attack had backfired, the lightning orb increased the frequency of its attacks.
“You’ve got quite the temper, eh?” Levi scoffed. He then began metamorphosing to increase his abilities, which allowed him to gain even more endurance toward the lightning.
Even the numbing sensation was gone.
Now I know why this sea of Heavenly Thunder keeps growing stronger and refusing to dissipate.
Suddenly, Levi had an epiphany.
The source might be the earth ley line underneath me. If I’m right, this place should have an incredibly powerful spiritual ley line.
It must be forcefully bringing the Heavenly Thunder down to nourish itself, allowing it to continue becoming stronger.
Eventually, both elements achieved some kind of energy equilibrium.
The stronger the spiritual ley line became, the more powerful the Heavenly Thunder it attracted.
In the beginning, the Heavenly Thunder would disappear as the spiritual ley line continued to grow. Finally, they reached a balance where they continued urging each other’s growth.
That was the secret of how the Sea of Heavenly Thunder managed to stay there and grow stronger.
“It’s quite similar to Chad’s remedial ley line,” Levi mumbled to himself.
Though the remedial ley line was smaller, it ran on the same logic as the earth ley line of Dragon’s Grave Valley.
Spiritual ley lines like that were the best for nourishing magical herbs. Of course, it was even more suitable to forge weapons.
In fact, it was even better than a small dragon ley line, let alone a divine or holy ley line.
“If that’s the case, I should use the earth ley line and Heavenly Thunder to strengthen my body and meridians.”
Levi was well aware that he had angered the Heavenly Thunder and the special spiritual ley line.
That was why they were doing everything in their power to get their revenge.
However, as long as Levi could overcome the situation, he would advance to a new cultivation level and become much stronger than expected.
In the meantime, the fighters of various sects who were waiting outside could feel a powerful surge of energy.
“What’s wrong with the ground? Why does it feel like there’s something absorbing its power and causing a powerful tremor?”
“That’s not all. The Heavenly Thunder’s energy is just too terrifying. We’re so far away from it, yet it still turned these trees into ashes.”
“I could’ve died on the spot if the two sect leaders hadn’t stepped in.”
They could feel the earth ley line’s energy rushing toward the core area of Dragon’s Grave Valley.
At the same time, they felt the power of Heavenly Thunder, especially the ball of lightning that glowed in the distance as if it could crush the entire valley.
That was the exact reason the two sect leaders of Eclipse had ordered all their members to retreat to someplace more than a dozen kilometers away.
Unfortunately, some slower fighters were struck by the remaining waves from the Heavenly Thunder.
Chapter 3907 Their Survival Depends On Levi
Meanwhile, Floyd was also advancing forward at great speed. However, he was confounded as he did not encounter any obstacles at all.
Before coming here, Floyd had learned that Dragon’s Grave Valley was unusually dangerous, and the Heavenly Thunder could strike randomly. That was the reason many fighters never returned once they went there.
“Is Dragon’s Grave Valley really as scary as the rumors describe it to be?”
He scoffed in his heart. At that very moment, all he could feel was the slight energy restraint from the ground. Even so, that energy restraint was something negligible for Floyd.
Right then, a violent wave of energy swept past the area. “How powerful! What on earth is happening in there?” he asked himself.
Floyd was shocked to the core. Even though he had released his energy to resist the force, he was still sent flying into the distance.
“How could it be so powerful when I’m so far from it? Exactly how powerful will it be if I’m near it?”
Floyd could not snap out of the shock. Just then, he saw dazzling lights bursting out of the giant ball of lightning in the distance.
Immediately, a terrifying surge of energy spilled out and assaulted an area in the distance.
“Is this Master’s doing? Or is Master getting attacked by the Heavenly Thunder?”
Feeling extremely concerned about Levi’s situation, Floyd decided he should continue hurrying toward the core area.
He had only advanced about five to six meters when another terrifying surge of energy came rolling over.
“T-This is too terrifying…”
No matter how hard he tried to defend himself against the force, he was, yet again, thrown out like a kite with a broken string. It was not until he was sent about thirty meters backward that he managed to steady himself.
What terrified him the most was that he could feel the urge to vomit blood due to the blow.
As he lifted his head to glance in the distance, he noticed the lightning orb glowing again.
Lightning then began pouring down and continuously hitting the core area.
From a distance, it looked as if the sky had a huge crack, and silver lights kept pouring down from it.
At the same time, the thunder and lightning were becoming more intense in the distant sky. It was as if the world was coming to an end, and all living things would cease to exist at that moment.
Energy storms kept rolling over, causing many trees in the distance to be uprooted.
Not only that, but dark clouds around the area began descending so low that one could touch them if they were to lift their hands. However, there were no sounds of thunder coming from it.
“Master must be in danger. I’ve got to hurry over and take a look.”
Clenching his jaw, Floyd unleashed a technique to defend himself against the energy storm.
He never stopped in his tracks, no matter how hard it was to walk in that situation.
Cheriette and Larissa, who were looking for the Divine Bones and magical herbs, suddenly paused in their task.
That was because the entire core area of Dragon’s Grave Valley began vibrating violently, and the earth ley line’s energy was rushing toward Levi’s location.
Most importantly, it reduced the pressure the two women had felt.
Crack!
A bright light flashed past as if it had split the sky in half.
The massive lightning orb began shrinking quickly, but not only was its energy not affected, it even seemed to be getting stronger.
At the same time, bolts of dazzling Heavenly Thunder came striking down as if an ancient beast was venting its anger.
Levi was already fully engulfed by the Heavenly Thunder. If not for the energy fluctuations he emanated, the two women would have thought he had been struck dead by the lightning.
Even so, they were so nervous that their hearts pounded wildly. After all, their fate depended on his survival.
Of course, the fact that Levi could hang on until that moment was very unexpected.
“L-Look! The lightning orb looks as if it’s about to fall!”
Cheriette’s voice was trembling violently.
Larissa, too, instinctively covered her mouth in terror.
In just a short amount of time, the lightning orb, which was originally covering half of the Arctic Lake, had shrunk significantly.
Suddenly, the space around the lightning orb distorted as the dark clouds dissipated. It was a dazzling sight that no one could look at directly.
Chapter 3908 I Am Going To Kill You
A horrifying pressure from the thunder permeated the entire space, leaving a deathly silence around the Arctic Lake.
Like the quiet before the storm, it filled everyone’s hearts with anxiousness and fear.
Following that was a violent trembling beneath their feet. Although the women did their best to balance themselves, they could not withstand the force and crashed to the ground.
Thankfully, the earth ley line’s force holding them to the ground was gone. Otherwise, they would be panicking about getting sucked into the ground.
That was when Cheriette and Larissa finally understood how those Divine Bones ended up in the ground.
They were most likely pulled into the ground due to the earth ley line’s restraining force. And with the strikes from the Heavenly Thunder, it was only natural for something like that to happen.
The thought of that scared them out of their wits and left them panting heavily.
In that short period, about seventy percent of their energy shields were already shattered by the Heavenly Thunder’s pressure.
The remaining sections were still holding on. If not for most of the lightning energy aiming for Levi, the women would have been crushed long ago.
“Is Master all right?”
“Is Lord Garrison all right?”
Once again, the women shifted their gazes to the dazzling lightning.
A faint figure could be seen trembling slightly in it, as if a beast trapped inside was struggling to get out.
At that moment, Levi could feel a slight pressure, especially when the giant lightning orb kept shrinking.
The pressure from the lightning and the terrifying restraining force from the ground made him drop several meters in the air.
What powerful lightning energy!
Levi was shocked, but he quickly recomposed himself.
He knew that once the lightning orb shrunk to a certain degree, it would be dealing him a fatal strike.
Sure enough, moments later, the lightning orb struck and completely covered the area he was in.
Crackle! Crackle!
Deafening crackling filled the air. As Levi narrowed his eyes, he could clearly see the area where the lightning orb passed severely distorting.
It was as if a foreign storm had swept over the Arctic Lake.
In fact, Levi felt like the space was being compressed. It was as if the lightning orb was going to destroy all living things in the area.
“I’m going to kill you!” Levi hissed and charged at the lightning orb.
Rumble!
The thundering sound of a collision echoed in the air as if two planets had collided with each other.
Sparks instantly shot out in various directions, and waves of energy swept over the area, leaving the place looking like a piece of crumpled paper.
Both sides remained at an impasse for about thirty seconds before Levi fell and finally hit the ground.
Crash!
Rubble flew out from the ground, and the spot where the lightning orb struck first was reduced to dust.
Even with such a strong body, Levi could still feel excruciating pain. Many parts of his body were scratched up from the fall.
Nonetheless, that was not the end of it. The terrifying lightning orb did not disappear from the impact.
Interestingly, it seemed to have a spiritual sense. It kept changing its form to envelope Levi’s body and attack him from every direction.
At the same time, as if the lightning orb had communicated with the earth ley line, the energy the latter had been gathering for a while suddenly exploded and restrained Levi’s legs.
“You guys cooperate quite well, huh?” Levi muttered, unamused by the situation.
Despite exercising his powers twice, he still could not break free from the earth ley line’s constraint.
Of course, it was mostly due to the lightning orb’s incredible force. The earth ley line’s strength alone was not enough to restrain Levi.
“This is the moment to test if I can completely metamorphose.”
With a yell, Levi quickly channeled his technique and allowed the lightning energy to enter his body.
Chapter 3909 The Most Powerful Attack
Suddenly, an ear-piercing sound could be heard as the giant lightning orb fell and hit Levi’s body directly.
At that moment, all Levi could hear was a ringing. He heard nothing else from his surroundings.
Right then, a bolt of Heavenly Thunder so hot and powerful it seemed to burn everything it hit struck Levi. It was as though it wanted to rip him into pieces.
The earth ley line was not making Levi’s situation any easier, either. Just as his legs had finally broken free from the ground, the earth ley line quickly restrained them.
“Oh, what perfect timing.”
Left without a choice, Levi could only shift his attention to deal with the earth ley line’s force that was pulling him downward.
Crack!
Just then, the space seemed to be tearing apart. Even Levi was starting to feel a slight pain.
Coupled with the lightning orb’s most powerful attack earlier, he was beginning to feel numb all over his body, and the intensity was still increasing.
Most importantly, it was affecting Levi’s reflexes in every way. Nonetheless, the lightning energy continued attacking persistently, finding every opportunity to strike him.
Thankfully, Levi was a pure physical cultivator, or he would have been completely destroyed by the Heavenly Thunder’s attack.
“Ahh!”
Levi suddenly let out a roar. Despite his strong physique, he still felt severe pain coursing through his body.
The lightning energy had even seeped into his sweat glands to try to destroy every cell in his body.
In the meantime, the power of the earth ley line grew stronger, as though it was going to separate Levi’s legs from his body.
Levi’s screams carried on as the pain grew more intense.
Just when Levi thought half of the Super Heavenly Thunder had come to pass, a water sword as thick as a grown man’s arm shot out from the calm waters of the Arctic Lake.
The water sword had sparks shooting out from it as it carried the same terrifying lightning energy.
What was worth noting was that the water sword emanated a bone-chilling, hostile aura that felt as if it could turn everything it touched into ice.
In the meantime, the lightning energy released a scorching heat, increasing the temperature of the frozen area and finally causing it to shatter due to the extreme temperature changes.
Whoosh!
The water sword shot out and aimed for Levi’s heart.
Levi’s eyes narrowed when he deduced the water sword’s true intentions.
The Heavenly Thunder must’ve realized that my body is stronger than an ordinary person’s, so it’s planning to freeze me using the sword and then heat me up after that. Anyone, no matter how strong they are, would be dead under such extreme temperature changes. Dragon’s Grave Valley’s Heavenly Thunder is really like no other. It can actually work with the earth ley line and Arctic Lake to make such a powerful attack, Levi exclaimed inwardly, impressed by the discovery. He surmised the water sword must contain all of Arctic Lake’s coldness. Hence, he swore to be extra careful, or his life could be in terrible danger.
With that, he activated the basic techniques to the max.
The truth was, he had never put in so much effort when dealing with fighters in the past. And now, he was putting in his all to resist the combination attack from the Heavenly Thunder.
Noting the water sword would reach him in the blink of an eye, he decided to face it by allowing its extreme cold to enter him to prevent the outer layer of his body from hardening further.
Crack!
With a loud cracking sound, the water sword shattered. In the end, only a few inches were left from its original length, which was a few feet long.
Finally, it shattered completely.
In the meantime, Levi kept taking steps backward, gasping as he felt the sharp pain travel in his body again.
He did not expect the water sword to be so powerful.
Levi was stunned, especially when he felt the chilling sensation. It made him feel as if he had turned into an ice sculpture.
Even his limbs were stiff. He barely recovered from it after activating his basic techniques for some time.
“Take this!” Levi roared and released a powerful wave of energy from his body.
Chapter 3910 Returned To Normal
The surge of powerful energy and the immense force of Heavenly Thunder struck at the same spot.
Rumble! Following the deafening booms, the black rock beneath Levi’s feet shattered, allowing him to break free from the force restraining him instantly.
At the same time, he stomped the ground with his feet and propelled himself upward like an arrow toward the remnant of the half-gigantic lightning orb in the air.
Swoosh! The violent buzzing sound of electricity rumbled continuously as electric arcs enveloped Levi’s body.
However, the insignificant electric attack could no longer inflict substantial harm on him. The clash lasted for some time. Ultimately, the enormous lightning orb gave up and gradually dispersed.
Levi floated upright in mid-air like an ancient war god gazing down at his subjects. He radiated an air of dominance and regality with his every move. “Is it finally over?” he muttered and lightly balled his fists.
At once, energy churned within him in response, but the moment he loosened his clenched hands, the energy dissipated immediately as if it was never there.
He felt he could control his power even better than before, being able to manipulate the energy in his body at will now.
When determining the quality of a sports car, an important parameter to measure was the time required for the vehicle to reach a traveling speed of hundred kilometers per hour.
At that moment, Levi could accelerate with almost negligible time and entirely decelerate from terminal speed in a split second.
That was the state of having perfect control over one’s power. Levi had never expected himself to accomplish that feat.
As for the other aspects of his abilities, another remarkable improvement was his physical strength, which had successfully attained a greater height.
Levi did not exhaust the force of Heavenly Thunder and energy of earth ley line earlier. After all, the earth ley line was useful to him in other ways. Such a unique earth ley line is undoubtedly the best material to forge an ultimate premium weapon.
A few moments later, the colossal lightning orb wholly scattered. Subsequently, the clear sky turned gray again as dense and dark clouds covered the sky.
The scene featuring Heavenly Thunder rolling across the sky reappeared above the atmosphere of Arctic Lake, expanding even to the entire core area. Simultaneously, the earth ley line’s bind vanished.
Everything seemed to have returned to its initial state. Nonetheless, the circumstances were now very different for Levi.
That was because the expulsion force of Dragon’s Grave Valley was no longer targeting Levi as if it had never existed.
After contemplating for a few seconds, he fathomed the reason behind it. My powers have exceeded the capacities of the Sea of Heavenly Thunder and earth ley line. I can even describe this paradigm as a form of communion on some levels. Since this place no longer thinks of me as a threat, all the regions have returned to normal, waiting for the arrival of the next foreign body before they relaunch an attack.
Meanwhile, members of the numerous sects trapped inside Dragon’s Grave Valley couldn’t help but sigh wistfully.
“The energy turbulence has finally ended. The insolent fool who entered the region seems to have already been eliminated.”
“Judging by the intensity of the energy outburst earlier, I doubt even the deities could survive.”
“Luckily, none of us barged into the area recklessly at that time. Otherwise, the chances for us to survive would be very slim.”
Fear lingered in the hearts of Eclipse’s two sect leaders because they had felt the eruption of energy just now more clearly than everyone else.
Both of them had no doubt that they would be instantly annihilated by the giant lightning orb, even if they resisted by releasing all the energy within them.
If even we will suffer such a terrible outcome, there’s no way that rash scoundrel can survive.
A similar thought surfaced in the minds of the two sect leaders.
Floyd, hastily moving toward the core area, abruptly halted. He broke down in devastation when he noticed the far-away gigantic lightning orb dissipating.
“Master, I failed to reach you in time, after all! How could this happen? Why did you risk your life by coming here to seek treasure? Master, I’m coming to see you off one last time!” Floyd wailed at the sky.
Then, he pulled himself together and continued rushing forward.
However, a bizarre phenomenon suddenly happened after Floyd took a few steps ahead.
