Library of Heaven's Path 2: Eternal Fate of the Heavens Chapter 219

Chapter 219: Chapter 77: A Wave of the Hand Can Destroy
 

Ouyang Hai reached forward, and space began to ripple. In the next moment, he dove in and reappeared tens of thousands of miles away.

After countless such transfers and teleportations—even with his profound cultivation—he still felt out of breath.

However, once the news of such a super genius leaked, countless forces with eyes red with eagerness would rush over. Being even a step slower meant losing the opportunity.

With a flick of his wrist, a map appeared in his palm.

After a glance, Ouyang Hai couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.

“I should be close now…”

After nearly a day of frenetic running, not only was his strength massively depleted, but he was also extremely exhausted.

Pulling out a pill, he swallowed it, feeling the strength within his body being reborn, and then he continued to tear through space, rushing forward.

After advancing more than a dozen times, his pupils suddenly constricted, and he involuntarily came to a stop.

Directly ahead, a field of lightning shrouded the sky, covering tens of thousands of kilometers. The sound of thunder roared wildly, as if ready to strike at any moment.

Lightning was not unfamiliar to him, and no matter the quantity, it wouldn't trouble a powerhouse of his level. But this lightning had even him feeling palpitations.

“This is the kind of lightning that only comes when vying for fragments of the heavens… Could there be an unparalleled expert ahead that could contend for the fragments of the heavens?”

Fragments of the heavens at the 7-dan, also known as the Life Struggle Realm, where experts of the Galaxy 9-dan could be killed with a single finger.

“It should not be! Experts vying for fragments of the heavens need to be near the River of Destiny to dare face the lightning tribulation. Running here to do it, isn't that seeking death?”

“No, this is Han Yuan City. Could it be that the appearance of these three geniuses has touched the inverse scale of the heavenly path, thus attracting this lightning?”

Having confirmed the location, his heart “thudded” in alarm.

After coming here with all his might, if the so-called geniuses were struck dead by lightning, he wouldn't even have time to cry.

“Hurry and take a look!”

After hesitating for a moment, he gritted his teeth and flew swiftly toward the location.

Under such immense lightning, space was not very stable. If he continued as before, he could well be struck dead before he even arrived.

Inside a teahouse in Han Yuan City.

Commander Hu knelt before Han Qianchou: “Reporting to Your Majesty, Yue Longxiao's disciples have been poisoned and are under our control.”

Han Qianchou breathed a sigh of relief.

Admitting openly that he had killed Mo Qing was in itself a great risk. If Yue Longxiao took the money but didn't carry out the task, he would have been awaiting death.

With a threat in hand, even if the other party didn't admit it, they would definitely not dare to act recklessly.

“Has Master Yue entered Ling Buyang's residence and not come out yet?” He turned and looked at another Golden Armor Guard who was responsible for surveillance.

“Reporting to Your Majesty, after entering, he has not reappeared,” the Golden Armor Guard replied with a salute.

“What exactly does he have to discuss with that Ling Buyang?”

Han Qianchou was full of doubts: “Continue investigating…”

Boom!

Just then, the sky was engulfed by storm clouds, and intense lightning thrashed without cessation. With just one look, Han Qianchou's complexion turned deathly pale.

“Han Yuan City is doomed…”

Seeing the power contained within the lightning, just one strike would render not just him, but the entire Han Yuan City to ash in an instant.

What had happened?

“No, the center of the lightning seems to be… Ling Buyang's residence!”

His pupils abruptly constricted.

The lightning spread in concentric rings, one after the other, endlessly layered – and at the very center was Ling Buyang's dwelling, the focal point they had surrounded.

Inside the residence, Yue Longxiao sat quietly in his room, his eyes filled with urgency.

The Wanxiang Sect headquarters said they would send someone, and it's been almost a day without a single person showing up. They couldn't have lost their way, could they?

Normally, no matter how long the wait, it would be fine, but now Han Qianchou was acting madly, having killed Mo Qing and Han Xiao, and had this place surrounded. Who knew when he might charge over?

With his current strength, he simply couldn't withstand such an attack.

As for Ling Buyang, he was seriously injured, and it was still unknown whether he had recovered. Truly, when it rains, it pours!

Looking up ahead, Zhao Ya and the others were still sitting quietly in their original spots, earnestly practicing.

As geniuses who still worked so hard, if the Wanxiang Sect could take them back, it would indeed be a stroke of luck.

“Let's wait a little longer!”

Knowing this wasn't the time to be anxious, he exhaled and was just about to close his eyes to adjust his state of mind when he suddenly sensed something and hurriedly looked outside.

The sky had darkened unknowingly, with countless lightning bolts hanging overhead as if they could strike down at any moment.

He had experienced thunderstorms before, and even with abundant lightning, it always felt distant. But this time, it felt as if it was clinging to his face, ready to strike atop his head at the slightest mishap.

“It's over…”

Filled with tension, he instinctively wanted to jump up and leave, then he realized something was amiss.

“The very center of the lightning isn't here, but… Ling Buyang's place?”

The vortex's exact center was aimed at Ling Buyang's dwelling.

While that guy was talented enough to practice Mo Dao to the second realm, even such a genius wouldn't attract such massive lightning, right?

It's over. Given the ferocity of this lightning, he could easily get caught in the crossfire and die on the spot.

Unacceptable, he needed to go see what had happened and if there was any way to diffuse the situation in advance.

With that thought, he could no longer sit still. He got up and walked outside.

“Young master…”

Sun Qiang arrived before him, also looking towards the sky filled with lightning, feeling somewhat weak at the knees.

He would not have disturbed him without the young master's instructions, but with a crisis looming, he could no longer hold back.

This young master really keeps one on their toes… he's not causing trouble; he's on the road to trouble, never to return!

He really should learn to keep a low profile like myself.

“What's up?”

Zhang Xuan frowned slightly as his practice was interrupted, and he came out of his sudden bouts of inspiration.

After a session of practice, the Heaven's Path zhenqi within his body had all transformed into the Pathos of Heaven zhenqi, pure and vast in strength, seemingly infinite in power.

The shackles of 99 horsepower seemed to have been broken, but now wasn't the time to carefully feel it out. As he pulled open the door and was about to step out, he immediately saw lightning filling the sky.

“What's going on here…”

Everything went dark before his eyes, and he nearly passed out.

“Sun Qiang, what are you up to? How did you bring about such a massive lightning tribulation?”

Zhang Xuan was beside himself with irritation.

Just practiced for a bit, and you're trying to tear the house down!

“Young master, it's not me… Look where the lightning is set to strike…”

Sun Qiang pointed upward with an aggrieved expression.

Zhang Xuan looked up, and right at the center of the lightning, targeting his head, it moved as he moved.

“Aim's pretty accurate…”

Zhang Xuan was speechless.

Although frustrated, he also knew that it must have something to do with the use of the Pathos of Heaven technique!

It's a technique that surpasses the way of heaven, fully deployed, it would definitely attract the attention of the heavens, and thus bring about punishment.

Back in the Empyrean, it was the same.

“No good, the power of this lightning is just too great. If it strikes me on the head, even if I burned the entire Suspended Realm and New World, it wouldn't be enough to withstand it…”

Zhang Xuan frowned after watching for a while.

In the Master Teacher Continent, he was quite familiar with lightning tribulations; he could use them to temper his body and even play with them. But here, that clearly wouldn't work, and judging by the looks of this lightning, if it really came crashing down, even using all his methods, he would hardly be able to withstand it.

The gap was too great; it wasn't something that simply burning a world could achieve.

Affection has to be cultivated slowly. In the future, he could start by playing with smaller lightning tribulations, getting familiar with them before slowly dealing with the bigger ones…

To bring about something like this all at once was practically asking for him to die here!

“This lightning tribulation is here because of my use of the Pathos of Heaven sword art; if I disappear and it can't find its target, it should dissipate…”

Quickly, he understood the crux of the matter.

This kind of lightning tribulation, imbued with a sense of punishment, would naturally fade away if the target being punished wasn't there, preventing harm to others.

With this thought, Zhang Xuan didn't hesitate. With a single thought, he immediately dove into the New World, vanishing from the Source World within the blink of an eye, leaving not a trace behind.

Only fools would take it head-on!

With the New World available to dodge at any time, facing such a situation, running away was the only sensible thing to do.

Of course, if he wanted to contend for the fragments of the heavens, he would need to withstand it head-on. But for now, with his cultivation being so low and not implicated in this, better to dodge where possible!

Watching him disappear, Sun Qiang stood there, stunned.

You ran away, but what about me?

It's not fun to be played like that…

But he also knew the young master's intention; as long as he left, the lightning should disappear quickly.

“Where's Vice Hall Master Ling? Let's hurry and leave this place, otherwise, no one can escape when the lightning strikes…”

Just then, Yue Longxiao arrived in a hurry, full of anxiety.

Zhang Xuan had just opened the door and disappeared from within it, so Yue Longxiao had not seen it.

Sun Qiang turned his head to look at the important figure from Han Yuan City standing before him.

Yue Longxiao, who once had a composed demeanor, now looked pale and was even trembling slightly.

Sun Qiang frowned, his hands clasped behind his back, his chubby figure appearing somewhat imposing: “Afraid of what? It's just lightning, no need to worry about it.”

“Just lightning?”

Everything went dark before Yue Longxiao's eyes, and he nearly exploded.

This was lightning that could flatten the entire Han Yuan City at any moment, and you say “no need to worry about it?”

Is there a problem with your brain, or have you not seen much of the world?

Realizing the other party was just a housekeeper, possibly unaware of the severity of the situation, Yue Longxiao tried to suppress his anger, doing his best to control his fury while explaining: “You probably don't understand just how powerful this lightning is. Once it strikes, even someone with my strength will be reduced to ashes…”

“This little lightning tribulation can be extinguished with a wave of the hand!”

Sun Qiang shook his head, looking indifferent: “Scram!”

After speaking, the portly man waved his hand towards the sky.

Buzz!

The originally furious lightning, as if cowed by a tremendous force, lost its ferocity and gradually dissipated. Moments later, the sun shone once more, lighting up the land with its rays.

Yue Longxiao froze in place.

He had actually managed to dissipate such a massive lightning tribulation with a simple wave of his hand!

This was a lightning tribulation that even those in the Galaxy Realm couldn't withstand, yet it was easily extinguished by a housekeeper. How strong then must Zhang Xuan, inside the room, be?

In an instant, Yue Longxiao was completely dumbfounded.
