To Be Celestial's Emperor II
Facing the Lightning Exam
A hundred days passed quickly, in that time everyone had set up a huge teleportation formation according to what Matriarch Du Lian had said. Of course it was only for the large and medium powers who were able to make it as for the low powers would be the responsibility for the central palace and the Efficacy Medicine to provide it.
On this day, all the higher-ups of the great powers led by Matriarch Du Lian gathered in the most vast field that existed in the Poisonous Insect sect. They are ready to wait for the test from heaven.
Zhen Yuan stared at the sky, his expression a little strange. This was because he still felt depressed despite having done something like this in his past.
“I wonder what kind of heaven challenge will be given to us this time” Little Lion said little to Zhen Yuan.
“The challenges of heaven can be formed anything, it varies so much that we will not be able to guess. But the most common heaven-defying challenge is against heavenly lightning, this challenge is the most common and also the easiest to pass through” Zhen Yuan said.
Little Lion chuckles softly, “But with us here will heaven lower such a trivial challenge? I'm afraid they'll send you a difficult challenge”
Heaven-defying existences like Zhen Yuan and the Sacred Soul were influential, as both of them had passed the test and obtained special blessings from the heavens. That is why their existence will increase the challenge.
“Well whatever it is I hope not to overdo” Zhen Yuan stopped his conversation because he had felt a huge fluctuation of energy begin to gather in the sky.
“See up there! Strong energy began to gather” Guard Natsumi exclaimed pointing at the sky.
Everyone looked up at the sky. They found black clouds gathering and forming a tangle of thunderous lightning. The thunderous lightning carried a strong pressure on the cultivators of the Origin Plains.
“Any, with such signs then the most likely challenge is heavenly lightning!” Little Lion was astonished.
“Well that's very good, we don't need to exert too much force to overcome it right?” Zhen Yuan on the other hand was happy.
Not long ago a black cloud began to envelop the entire sky of the Origin Plains. They could all see hundreds of Yellow and Green-colored lightning snatching around. After that, a cloud formed a tall creature.
“The Heavenly Lightning has destroyed the small world belonging to the Origin plain, therefore heaven will give the small world to the Origin plain through the Heavenly Lightning” The figure spoke.
His voice alone carried fear and made the Origin plain tremble. Zhen Yuan and the Little Lion stared at each other before the two smiled faintly. They both knew that figure was a warrior of heaven. Their strength became the weakest among the other inhabitants of heaven but today only with his voice was able to make the Origin plain tremble.
“Under normal circumstances Heaven will not give it because someone from the plains has had a small world to himself. But because of your persistence, the emperor of heaven bestows grace and today you have to pass through the challenges of heaven to obtain it!”
Not many knew if Zhen Yuan had a small world, except for the high officials of the Poisonous Insects, the Great Guard and the Euphrates. Therefore they all thought if it had been ruled by the demon nation before. Even if they found out it belonged to Zhen Yuan, the young man was not afraid at all.
“If today the Origin Origin plain does not disappear due to heavenly lightning then heaven will give the Little World that is not inferior to the Main island in the wasted archipelago!”
Matriarch Du Lian and the others cheered happily. That meant they had a good small world quality and were on par with the Main Island.
“Alright, now face your heavenly lightning!” After which the figure began to disappear and a yellow heavenly lightning appeared. The lightning was so big it was the size of an elephant and made it extremely frightening in the sky.
The lightning streaked at full speed as if it wanted to destroy the Origin plain. The little lion glanced at Zhen Yuan, the young man knew the intent of the Little Lion immediately darting with its lightning wings into the sky.
Everyone was shocked when Zhen Yuan darted fearlessly against the heavenly lightning. Matriarch Du Lian panicked and tried to stop Zhen Yuan, but Minister Yan Jie held him back. Perhaps only Yan Jie's minister and Zhen Yuan's followers would know if the young man could overcome the heavenly lightning this time around.
“Zhen Yuan in danger!” Du Lian was still panicking and wanted to reprimand the minister Yan Jie for holding him back but then it was too late because Zhen Yuan had entered the thunderstorm in the sky.
They all closed their mouths in disbelief, their eyes thickened in shock at Zhen Yuan's bravery and recklessness. They were certain that Zhen Yuan would be severely injured if not killed after receiving that terrifying heavenly rain of lightning.
In the sky, Zhen Yuan stood amidst the rain of heavenly lightning without the slightest hint of being disturbed. He closed his eyes while circulating his cultivation method of the 9 Heavenly Tribulations to cultivate the Heavenly Lightning energy that entered and attacked his body.
Zhen Yuan could feel his blood starting to rush along with his growing energy, however the longer his body began to be unable to withstand so much incoming heavenly energy and caused the young man to feel a pain that signaled his body was crossing the threshold of tolerance.
But will Zhen Yuan surrender? Not at all because he had felt such suffering so many times in his life this time. Moreover, wanting to grow stronger had always been Zhen Yuan's strongest motivation in the face of the pain he felt in his cultivation.
The heavenly lightning stopped after 3 hours of raining down on Zhen Yuan. The young man sat down and closed his eyes. He meditated to normalize the remaining energy in his body so that later it would not get any resistance or counter-effects from the heavenly lightning.
