Chapter 49 Lightning Tribulation
IN THE END, the whole Competitions Bureau was turned into an unrecognizable area. The word ‘barren’ much better suited this place than the barren land with a house still standing erect; at least the latter wasn’t flat.
However, there was one more non-entity Yang Lujia brought with him. It was apparently the soul of the disciple of Soul Demon, the man who was horrified just by Yang Lujia’s voice.
Yang Lujia grinned, pulling out a bluish gourd that was emitting a freezing aura. The moment the other party saw and felt this, he shuddered.
“According to what I know, this gourd was a human-ranked divine artifact called the Soul Trapper Gourd. Do you know what a divine artifact is? It’s a weapon or treasure much stronger than a heaven-ranked imperial relic. It would be your greatest honor to be trapped inside this gourd, young man.”
The moment Yang Lujia finished speaking; the man’s soul was completely sucked into the gourd. Inside, he saw nothing but vast darkness that crept up to his bones. It made him want to scream in despair.
Alas! He failed his mission as a spy and suffered a great blow. Moreover, no one would know where he was and what he was doing. After all, he didn’t completely die, so there was no way his master would come to rescue him without being alarmed..
Besides, even if his master were here, would he be able to defeat the man who terrified and captured him? He wasn’t sure.
He only chose to possess that man from the bureau because of the man’s cultivation base that strengthened his flesh. That man’s talent was no different from some geniuses, so he didn’t hesitate to leave his previous body. Again, alas! He would never have thought the owner of that body had offended such a mighty expert.
If he knew about this, he would certainly not have possessed the man’s body.
Yang Lujia continued to stroll around the streets. There weren’t many people working anymore. There were only patrolling city guards and some citizens who were still busy with work.
Of course, he didn’t mind this. There weren’t any curfews in this world. That was such a wonder.
The night breeze was cool but ironically warm. The people’s smiles and their amiable approaches also made him remember his previous life.
Unlike these civilians here, those who were on Earth were fakes. After all, people from Earth only knew how to suck up to someone’s thigh to raise his or her status in society.
However, he knew nothing of the people’s minds. After all, in this realm, he couldn’t read other people’s thoughts, unlike in Da Shenghou. Nevertheless, he guessed that perhaps that kind of people would always appear in every world.
He wondered.
There must be another world out there… like Earth.
He eventually went back to the barren land and drank his ‘wine’ again. As he stared at the gourd filled with heaven-ranked elixir, he sighed with emotion. For people who had reached the pinnacle of their lives like him, life would really become idle.
If not for the system making him recruit some disciples, he might really have remained in the War Dragon Sect. After all, he still had to wait for that stistepgrandfather of his.
Recalling the letter from Zhuquan De, he rolled his eyes and took another shot of the heaven-ranked elixir as it gurgled down his throat. Looking at the moonlight, he was filled with melancholy.
“It was already fifteen years ago. When I come back to Earth, I wonder what will happen? What has already developed on Earth? Has technology become more advanced?” He then shook his head as he took another sip from the gourd. “No… the real question is… how do I get back there if I want to?”
Clearing up his thoughts, he shut his consciousness down and slept on the roof again.
With just one sleep that seemed like a minute to him, morning came fast. Stretching his body, he didn’t feel anything. After all, he was already so powerful. The numbness or paralysis-like feeling after waking up can only be felt by ordinary people.
Besides, he had never been ordinary. It could even be said that he was beyond extraordinary.
As though sensing something from inside the house’s direction, he went down the roof and entered it. His figure left an illusory image as he strutted in the direction of Long Guang’s room.
The moment he sensed his little second disciple’s aura, his eyes shrank. “His aura was actually approaching the God Emperor Realm…” Yang Lujia’s eyes then pierced through the ceiling and looked up. The sky that was once bright had already become gloomy.
“Is someone trying to break through to the God Emperor Realm? But this group of clouds, it seemed to be much more terrifying!” A cultivator, with his eyes flickering in the distance, stared at the approaching lightning tribulation. “This tribulation almost felt like a God Emperor approaching the Half-Saint Step Realm.”
Some people around him within a restaurant also gasped while looking at the dark clouds that were starting to gather in a certain part of the city. Almost all the people were familiar with this phenomenon. After all, Guile City had God Emperors and they had once seen their breakthroughs.
“What is that? Why are the clouds so condensed in that area?” a teenager asked.
Another scoffed. “Are you an idiot? Did your parents not tell you? That’s a sign when someone tries to break through to the God Emperor Realm!”
Yang Lujia, on the other hand, just stared at the gradually increasing number of dark clouds looming above the house. Later, he heaved a sigh and went out of the house. Sensing that Long Guang had already reached a stable state, he thought of intercepting the lightning tribulation for him.
Standing on the roof, he indifferently stared at the gurgling lightning. “You go back to the Will of Da Sishen. Otherwise, if you don’t let my disciple off, I will hunt the Will of Da Sishen to the ends of the earth and eliminate it. Do you understand?”
His voice was neither loud nor soft, but it made the lightning tribulation roar. This lightning tribulation was actually condensed by the Will of Da Sishen. Every realm had a will overseeing them. He knew that. Without these wills, the five realms could have already formed a war against one another.
‘In this world filled with peril and the strong ruling over the weak, do you think Da Shenghou would still exist if Da Sishen or the other realms wanted to monopolize it?’
“Do you have what it takes to be angry at me? Or do you rather want me to destroy the entire Da Sishen?”
ROAR!
