Chapter 1449: Divine Thunder Trial Killed the Demon
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Erhuo kept sucking up the soul energy from the altars. It was working on the sixth altar right now!
On the other side of the Gate to the Great Demon, some voices were cursing with indignation, but the gate was disappearing.
The Honor Demon’s great plan was completely aborted! However, the Honor Demon seemed to be quite calm with a cold face. He wasn’t crazy anymore, not even a shred of emotion could be seen on his face
He started at the others with a pair of sharp eyes and suddenly cracked a weird smile. He said, “Oh so you want to get away? Do you think that I would just let anyone leave?
He laughed wildly to the sky and said in a fierce voice, “No one gets to leave today and all of you will die in this place! You ruined my great plan! You ruined everything! Do you really think that I would just let you leave?”
He smiled coldly as he looked at Ye Xiao, and said, “Ye Xiao, the great Xiao Monarch. I’m impressed. You actually had a last trick especially now that your side is meeting its end. Are you going to use a thunder trial in this place? Would you use that to strike me? Do you really think that you can just kill me like that? Hah hah hah… Interesting, I’m quite surprised. I’d like to see you try especially now that I have my ink clouds in the sky. I wonder if the information of your breakthrough could get through the clouds and reach the heavens?”
Ye Xiao was shocked and then, he cautiously looked around. As expected, he couldn’t tell if anything would happen. The information of his breakthrough had risen, but the sky was covered by a dense layer of dark clouds. Not only the sun, but also the sky was gone in the dark…
There were no signs for the thunder trail.
The qi of breaking through the limitation of cultivation was still hovering in the sky, and it couldn’t get through the demonic qi in that covered it.
Ye Xiao was shocked!
[Damn it! Is this even possible? Isn’t it against the rule of heavens?]
Ye Xiao really wanted to curse with fury at that moment.
[Is it real? Is there really a demon who can go against the rule of heavens?]
“Ye Xiao, tell me, what is that thing?” The Honor Demon gritted his teeth and pointed at somewhere.
He was pointing at Erhuo, who was boldly sucking the soul energy on the altar at that moment.
Erhuo had already collected all the soul energy from the four altars and it was absorbing the soul energy of the fifth altar at the moment!
The Demonic Flame Altars of the Honor Demon had more or less the same kind of energy as the red and white clouds in the Sky Soul Mountains. After Erhuo absorbed the energy from the Chaotic Soul Clouds, it just stored up the energy inside it because the red and white Chaotic Soul Clouds was way beyond its league. Even now, Erhuo still could not absorb the energy from the Chaotic Soul Clouds, only took it bit by bit.
Every Demonic Flame Altar had absorbed over sixty million cultivators’ souls, but all those souls were in low quality. The soul energy was so low-leveled that Erhuo could directly suck it up like a whale swallowing the water in the ocean and digest it thoroughly. As Erhuo absorbed more and more soul energy, it kept asking for more despite their power levels. In fact, the more it improved, the faster it absorbed the altar’s energy. Erhuo’s belly was swelling up fast as he continued to consume more.
All that could be seen were its fur piling up on the ground.
It was Erhuo’s fur.
While Erhuo was absorbing the energy like a whale in the ocean, it had two times of breakthrough, and now it was having the third… Erhuo wasn’t afraid of anything now.
Every time it broke through, it would get its fur shredded and a new set would replace it immediately. It didn’t become any bigger, it was still a small cat, but its fur was getting more and more clear and crystal.
Hmmm… Its belly was getting bigger though…
“What thing? Oh that? Isn’t that just a cat? Why are you asking me this?” Ye Xiao clicked his tongue and gave a casual answer.
“I am not blind! Of course, I know it is a cat!” The Honor Demon couldn’t hold his anger down so he roared and said, “I’m asking about what kind of cat it is to be as abnormal as this?
The Honor Demon felt like being fooled by the heaven’s will at the moment. He thought everything was ready because he had already obtained the sufficient energy to disclose the Gate to the Great Demon. He was so close.
All he needed to do was to draw the enemies in for a huge fight and once that’s done, he would pour all of their energy into the altar. As long as the eighth altar was completed, the Gate to the Great Demon would appear and open.
If he completed the ninth altar, which was at the highest level of completion, the King of the Demons would arrive and give him a reward. The blood of the King of Demons would start to run inside the Honor Demon’s body, which was the reward for his high completion.
To have the blood of the King of Demons was the key to immortality. He could even become the King of Demons someday!
It was the goal that he had in his life. He had gotten everything that was needed. It seemed to be perfect and the Gate to the Great Demon had shown up…
However, in the end, a small cat had ruined everything.
[This is… This really is… Unbelievable. If somebody told me a story like this, I wouldn’t believe it. I might even kill the person who told me such a ridiculous story…]
[However, such a disgusting story is true. It happened to me.]
Half of the nine Demonic Flame Altars were destroyed, and the Honor Demon’s great plan failed. No matter what he did now, even if he killed everybody in the Qing-Yun Realm including Ye Xiao, the Moon Queen, and the others in the battle now… he wouldn’t be able to build the Demonic Flame Altars and reactivate the Gate to the Great Demon. The King of Demons would never come for him!
He had been working so hard for tens and thousands of years. His endless efforts and dreams had turned to nothing at this moment! He was so close, and he had already felt it…
But things had changed! Everything was ruined and he even lost the opportunity to rebuild it.
Ye Xiao humphed and said, “Do you really it would matter to know more about that cat? Is it truly important for you? Does it really matter?”
The Honor Demon’s face turned dark, and he nodded. “No, it doesn’t. It is true… Nothing matters anymore!”
He then roared to the sky. “Ah…”
As he was roaring, two long and sharp teeth stuck out in his mouth. His face was like the face of a monster. As he breathed, the air coming out of his nose turned to black.
At this moment, Zong Yuankai was no longer a human being, but a demon, a complete demon!
“You have protected the Qing-Yun Realm. Don’t you think you should at least pay for it? Go and meet death, all of you!” He talked peacefully in a rather soft voice, but it still sounded incredibly terrifying.
Nobody doubted the truth of the Honor Demon’s words or the power that he had to do what he said he would do!
When the Honor Demon just finished talking, Ye Xiao raised up his head as well and shouted at the skies. “Ah oh…”
The others were surprised and anxious at the same time.
[What is Ye Xiao going to do?]
[The Honor Demon roars and it is scary enough. Why are you doing this too?]
[What? You can do a transformation too?]
[Is this the howl in the midnight which was known to be able to turn over any situation?]
Apparently, it was not some hilarious kind of howl in the midnight. However, his long resounding roar was indeed going to change the current situation. The sky was covered by the dark clouds but higher upon the clouds, the sound of a hawk rang up and it was clear and sharp.
The next moment, Ye Xiao waved his hand and poured all the energy and purple qi he had into the Stars Sword before he threw it out with all of his might.
The Stars Sword was wrapped by the rising purple qi and it flew up through the dense demonic qi in the sky like a purple flowing light. In the end, it disappeared beyond the clouds!
The Honor Demon saw the Stars Sword disappear. He just didn’t know what that meant, so he asked, “Ye Xiao, I know your martial art is special and incredible, and it is the bane to all demonic martial arts, however, you are too weak to hurt me with it. Now you have lost this excellent sword of yours, you are totally nothing to me. Do you think you can scatter all the demonic qi in the sky by just using a flying sword? Did you really expect that the thunders would strike down just because of what you did? You’re wishing too much… all that it could do was to pass through the demonic qi clouds. It would be impossible to think that it could do more.”
He was then shocked and soon enough, he started to shout. “How… How is this… How is this possible? How come…”
It seemed as if a hurricane blew over the demonic qi that was suspended in the skies. The light from beyond the clouds pierced through the darkness and shined to the world…
The next moment, the thunderclaps then followed!
The thunder trial was about to come!
When the sound of the first bolt of lightning cracked, the fierce feeling that oppressed them went back to the Demon Soul Valley and soon enough, all of the demonic qi inside it was eradicated!
The sky was filled with some purple clouds, the lightning that split the skies were purple as well. The bold of lights had crawled through the clouds and had made glaring lights that shook people’s hearts. The thunderclaps were deep, and it seemed as if an incredible power was accumulating.
People didn’t know what was happening. They were all shocked by what they saw. They were confused.
[Isn’t it… Isn’t it supposed to be unbreakable?]
[How come that something was able to pierce it?]
[Ye Xiao threw the sword through the demonic clouds. He did, but was it truly powerful enough to make all this happen?]
They got the answer after a while. A stream of fleeting golden light shined in the sky and a huge golden hawk flew down from beyond the clouds as it tweeted happily.
The hawk was staring at Ye Xiao with a deep emotion in its round big eyes. The golden hawk moved with thunder and wind!
It connected the winds and the thunder in the sky with its own body and it made the lightning strike down below the clouds.
The hawk connected the wind and thunder in the sky with its own body, drew the thunder over, made the lightning strike down below the clouds. It was Ye Xiao’s backup. Ye Xiao had told the golden hawk to stand by as a backup plan, and now it worked.
“Get away from here, now! Everybody! Go!” Ye Xiao pulled his lips together. The purple lightning from the sky seemed to lock on him already and the purple qi on his body was getting thicker and thicker. His face was almost completely covered by the purple qi!
“Xiao Xiao…” Yue Gongxue finally called him, with concern and worry in their voice. Ye Nantian grabbed her and moved her away immediately. Commander Ye was such an experienced man so he knew what was urgent at the moment. He clearly knew when to give up on something while there were other more important things.
Xuan Bing and Jun Yinglian, as well as the other powerful cultivators all left the place as fast as they could. They all knew how horrible the heavenly trial could be. Even though there haven’t been a heavenly trial in the Qing-Yun Realm for tens of thousands of years, people had still learned about its terror from the stories. They knew that they could never be able to help Ye Xiao if they stayed, they would only make things harder for him.
“Do you really want to go? Nobody leaves!” The Honor Demon moved with a flash, dashing out to stop the people who were leaving.
It was war. Ye Xiao did not really care about ascending to the upper realm, he only wanted to kill the Honor Demon with the power of the heavenly trial. He risked his life to draw down the divine thunder trial only to protect the people he cared about. As long as the Honor Demon could keep those people around, Ye Xiao won’t be able to strike him down.
After all, even the Honor Demon was afraid at the incredible power of the heavenly trial!
Ye Xiao laughed out loud and rushed over to the Honor Demon. He had gotten rid of the last bit of the barrier in his heart. He had become much better in cultivation now. Although he was still weaker than the Honor Demon, the difference wasn’t that unbearable anymore. He could hardly have his chance to defeat the Honor Demon with his current power, but he could definitely hold the Honor Demon up for a while. The Honor Demon was furious, so he started to attack with both his hands. Ye Xiao actually didn’t dodge at all, he just channeled his soul energy to prepare a special technique.
He suddenly held the Honor Demon in his arms like a long Chinese dragon in the ocean.
The Honor Demon’s palm attacks from his both hands blared out in the air behind Ye Xiao’s back. At the next moment, Ye Xiao rushed up to the sky as he held the Honor Demon tight in his arms.
Although he had already broken through to a new level, his Cage Phase power was still not strong enough for him to fully restrain the Honor Demon. However, what he wanted was to hold him for just one second, and that was something he was able to do!
At this critical moment in the battle, one second was long enough for many things to happen!
The Honor Demon knew that things were going wrong for him, so he started to hit Ye Xiao with the most powerful and insane of his attacks. He just wanted to get rid of the restraint from Ye Xiao’s Cage Phase technique.
However, Ye Xiao did not loosen his arms at all even though he was spitting out blood while getting hit again and again.
The golden hawk saw what was happening to Ye Xiao, so it made a long bitter call and immediately flew over under Ye Xiao’s feet. After that, it started to fly up with Ye Xiao and the Honor Demon together on its back.
The Honor Demon made a fierce palm attack again and this time he aimed at the golden hawk. Apparently, the golden hawk provoked the Honor Demon by getting into the fight between the two men.
The golden hawk gave a blood-curdling scream before it fell down. However, with the golden hawk’s help, Ye Xiao had flown up high enough with the Honor Demon in his arms!
At least he could reach the thunder trial on his own now!
In the sky, the divine thunder trial immediately found Ye Xiao.
The wind and thunder started to strike down on his head!
Ye Xiao and the Honor Demon were staying so close together so they both became the targets! That was the reason why Ye Xiao risked his own life to restrain the Honor Demon by the special technique of his Cage Phase.
If somebody was close enough to the cultivator who should be hit by the heavenly thunder in the heavenly trial, the thunder would automatically assume that he was helping the cultivator in this trial. Once the heavenly trial had locked on the targets, it wouldn’t dismiss it. Even if the Honor Demon managed to escape, the thunder would still follow his back and even if Ye Xiao had already died in the trial, the thunder would still keep striking the Honor Demon down!
That was Ye Xiao’s last and the most desperate move.
[Even if my body would turn to ash, I will drag you to your death!]
The golden lightning has split the skies!
The Honor Demon was screaming in fear. Bolts of lightning kept striking down and it looked like a rainstorm! The entire Qing-Yun Realm was shaken because of that incredible power!
The power of the heavens descended!
The golden hawk was the second closest to Ye Xiao after the Honor Demon. It just got out of the strike zone before the heavenly trial finished locking onto its targets. It was lucky enough to not share the trial with Ye Xiao!
In fact, the golden hawk should thank the Honor Demon for this. Because the Honor Demon hit it with a fierce palm attack, the golden hawk fell fast. Its golden feathers kept getting off and it helped it fly a few thousand feet away. It was already out of the target area the moment it regained its balance in the air.
The golden hawk raised up its head with pain in its eyes however, its mind was filled with joy.
[You are powerful Honor Demon, but so what? You are going to die because of me eventually!]
The divine thunders kept striking down. The golden hawk didn’t dare to get closer, but it could seize one or two bolts of lightning that were on the edge of the affected area. When it seized the lightning, its golden feathers started to flame up and shined up brightly…
Erhuo had finished absorbing the energy from seven of the Demonic Flame Altars, and it was sitting on the eighth altar, sucking up more energy into its body. The big round belly of Erhuo was totally oversized. It was at least ten times as big as usual. The small cat became a fat cat, which had an unbelievably huge belly.
As Erhuo collapsed, seven of the Demonic Flame Altars, forty-nine great cultivators who were guarding the seven altars died and became ashes on the ground. They were gone, just like the altars!
The only meaning of their existence was to protect the altars. To make sure that these people would focus on this sole purpose, the Honor Demon had extracted their consciousness out and bonded their lives with the altars.
There was only one thing they needed to do. When the altars were attacked, no matter who the attackers were, they fought back!
Zong Xingyu didn’t know it, so he got severely injured by his Uncle Wu!
However, Erhuo was absorbing the energy instead of attacking the altars!
The Honor Demon had done a lot to set everything up, yet it started to collapse in front of Erhuo’s unexpected moves!
The Honor Demon had arranged many great cultivators to guard the altars and yet, they all had to watch Erhuo ruining them bit by bit.
In the end, these people all died alongside the altars!
Erhuo looked up, stared at the sky, while it was sucking in the soul energy from the altars. It saw Ye Xiao, who was getting through the heavenly trial. In its eyes, there was a weird hint of something strange. It was weird.
It was excited, and it wanted to do something.
[Is it happening now? Has it started?]
The Honor Demon kept attacking Ye Xiao by hitting him as fast as he could, he wanted to turn Ye Xiao into a pile of flesh and blood.
However, Ye Xiao wouldn’t die, even though he kept spitting out blood.
After all, he just broke through to an incredible level and the Boundless Space was giving him an endless spiritual power. Ye Xiao might be weaker than the Honor Demon, but he was much better than the Honor Demon in terms of taking hits. However, it wasn’t a good idea to only get hit for a long time. He would eventually become a pile of flesh and blood if the Honor Demon got enough time to keep attacking. However, Ye Xiao only needed some time. All he needed to do was to not let the Honor Demon go until the divine thunders got down. When that happened, the war ended!
The heavenly thunder trial got down and struck Ye Xiao right on his head. There was no regret in his heart. He just opened his eyes to look around the world, perhaps for the last time.
Unexpectedly, he felt good about it!
Even though he was stricken by the thunder, and even his body was burning, he felt good deep in his heart.
Getting through the Heavenly Trial shouldn’t be any difficult thing for Ye Xiao because he had the incredible East-rising Purple Qi, a strong cultivation foundation and endless energy from the Boundless Space. However, he was not in a good condition and the Honor Demon was attacking him, which made the divine thunders a few times stronger than usual. Ye Xiao was in danger and he could die at any second. He didn’t even have the Stars Sword in hand. If he could get through the trial like this, this must be a miracle!
As long as he could kill Zong Yuankai, the Honor Demon, with the power of the heavenly trial, Ye Xiao would still feel satisfied even though this choice would have left him full of regret.
Things didn’t develop the same as he thought though. He didn’t understand where the fantastic feeling in his heart came from!
[What the hell is this?]
[The feeling… Isn’t this insane? Does it even make sense?]
The Honor Demon, who stayed beside Ye Xiao, kept screeching after the thunder struck. He got hit by the thunder as well and a dark smoke started to rise on him. His face was twisted.
Ye Xiao showed an ambiguous smile, and with no reason, he felt like his energy has been refilled. Since he got the power back, he definitely had to fight back. [You bloody monster, Honor Demon. You were beating me up to death. Did you enjoy it? Now it is my turn.] As he thought, he gave a fierce punch on the Honor Demon’s face.
The Honor Demon didn’t see it coming at all, so he got hit by Ye Xiao and started to scream. He actually could not hit back at all, only got blasted out and flew out over a hundred feet. After that, he finally regained some power to move himself. He stood straight up in the sky and made a roar that shocked the entire world.
While the thunder hit him right on the head, he was numb, stiff and rigid, he couldn’t move at all.
The heavenly thunder trial was so powerful, and the Honor Demon’s pure demonic body was weak from it.
However, the Honor Demon was incredibly powerful in cultivation. When he fought in full power, even Ye Xiao’s East-rising Purple Qi couldn’t hurt him. The heavenly trial thunder didn’t benumb him for a long time before he was free to move once again.
What provoked the Honor Demon was not the thunder strike, but the punch from Ye Xiao. That punch looked fierce, but it actually was not so heavy. It didn’t hurt the Honor Demon that much, but it humiliated him so much that he couldn’t let go of the hate in his heart!
Before the Honor Demon had his moment to vent out the anger in his heart, the thunderclaps sounded once again. Two bolts of purple lightning accurately slashed down towards them. One of them hit Ye Xiao with a blare, while the other quietly struck the Honor Demon.
The two of them got hit, but Ye Xiao apparently took more damage. It made a massive sound when hitting him after all. Both of them got the dark smoke rising on their bodies, because of the attack they had just received.
However, surprising almost everyone, Ye Xiao jumped up as if he was the most energetic person amongst all of them. On the other hand, The Honor Demon was shaking and couldn’t move at all.
Ye Xiao would never let go of such a great opportunity so he rushed over to the Honor Demon like a bolt of lightning. With a one heavy punch, he hit the Honor Demon right on the face.
The Honor Demon was screaming, but he didn’t lose himself. He was calm, although he could barely move, he made use of Ye Xiao’s attack to fly backwards. Ye Xiao kept chasing after him, delivering one punch after another at the Honor Demon.
As time passed, the lighting struck more and more frequently. The sky was soon full of bolts of lightning.
The Honor Demon did not have time to stop being stiff at all. Before he got better from the former lightning strike, the second wave hit him. He just couldn’t stop being numb and stiff. More and more thunders were striking down and it was reasonable. No matter how much Ye Xiao got struck, he just didn’t get stiff. He kept chasing after the Honor Demon and beating him up really hard.
The Honor Demon couldn’t move, it couldn’t attack, it couldn’t defend, and it only got punched again and again. All of the hate and the anger in his chest, he could vent them out by saying just a few words. “F*ck! This is f*cking unbelievably numb!”
[I am totally paralyzed.]
On the floor, Xuan Bing and the others saw the two powerful men fighting in the sky who were faster than lightning, and Ye Xiao was the one who kept punching his opponent. She just couldn’t believe what they saw.
[Since when did Ye Xiao become this powerful?]
[Both of them are being hit by the heavenly thunders. The Honor Demon got more severely hurt indeed, but Ye Xiao should be more hurt, because he got hit more. Why is he doing so well at the moment?]
[He is just lively and energetic like a dragon!]
[He actually has the time to beat the Honor Demon while he’s dealing with the trial!]
[This is not usual! It just doesn’t make sense in the world of cultivation!]
Things had gone completely against all of cultivators’ knowledge. Yet it didn’t stop happening yet. Strange things kept happening, and the cultivators were all shocked.
The Honor Demon was hit by both the lightning and Ye Xiao’s attacks. The thunder strikes, which were getting more and more powerful, kept striking him, and his flesh and blood kept falling off of his body. A dark smoke kept rising up in him, because the demonic qi, which he had been refining during the tens of thousands of years. The power of the thunders had forced the demonic qi out of the Honor Demon’s body bit by bit which would in turn be eradicated. The heavenly trial was rotting the Honor Demon’s energy little by little. It was terrifying!
Ye Xiao was struck by the lightning as well. He got the same initial amount of damage as the Honor Demon, but he looked worse than the Honor Demon because his clothes had turned black. However, the worse he looked, the fiercer he became. He punched the Honor Demon again and again with his fists that grew more and more powerful. His punch didn’t hurt the Honor Demon in the beginning, but as time went by, his fist was able to make him feel pain.
Finally!
Ye Xiao shouted and said, “Zong Yuankai! You are a vile demonic creature, who are corrupted completely by the demons. The heavens will know everything. Since you dare to play the dark in the bright daylight, I would love to show you how justice should be done to it. The law of heavens is always inescapable. Now, I am going to send you to hell, so that you can send your regards to your great demon ancestors in person!”
He must had been enjoying it now, so he actually started to talk in high spirit.
Suddenly, he made a turn like a whirlwind which soon enabled him to deliver a kick as fast as a bold of lightning. At the same time, a thick bolt of purple lightning struck down along with the kick!
Ye Xiao’s kicking activated the power of the thunders, and the two streams of power hit the Honor Demon at the same time!
Two thundering strikes hit the Honor Demon together, forcing him to let out a bitter scream. He started to fell off of the sky and landed on the floor with a big crash. The land started to shake after getting hit by the Honor Demon.
Everybody saw how the Honor Demon hit the floor, and his flesh and blood got off his body and flew everywhere.
Through the deep wounds, behind his skin, his bones stuck out with a black color. Zong Yuankai was deeply corrupted, and he was completely a demon now, whose bones were black!
Ye Xiao flew down from the sky like a bolt of lightning and the thunders followed him down. His two feet as heavy as a two-thousand-pound hammer stepped right on the chest of the Honor Demon when he landed.
With a cracking sound, the Honor Demon threw up a mouthful of blood after that severe pain, no matter how painful it was or how unwilling he was, he couldn’t move a bit. Ye Xiao got to do whatever he wanted on the Honor Demon.
That stepping attack had broken four ribs of the Honor Demon. More horribly, Ye Xiao’s feet kept sticking deep into the Honor Demon’s chest and stirred his inner organs up, which were then broken into pieces.
The Honor Demon screamed bitterly. He wanted to fight back, but the power of the purple thunder strikes kept hitting him… He could not move at all. Before he could move, another strike of the purple lightning would hit him again. He was convulsing in that terrible episode of paralysis.
The only thing he could do was watch Ye Xiao. He stared at Ye Xiao as he kept hurting him. He was indescribably aggrieved. To shout out the F word was no longer enough to vent the hate and anger within him. He would at least need to shout out more words that were filthy and dishonorable!
The little dark man, Ye Xiao seemed to be still energetic at the moment, because he was attacking the Honor Demon like crazy. In the end, his palm hits and kicks kept landing on the Honor Demon’s body alongside with the purple thunder strikes like a rainstorm striking right on the Honor Demon.
The Honor Demon’s body should be unbreakable when the battle began, but under the fierce strikes of the heavenly trial thunders and Ye Xiao’s powerful attacks, his tough body was falling apart bit by bit. His demonic body was collapsing.
The Honor Demon knew his own condition quite well, but there was nothing else he could do except to roar and shout the grief in his heart. However, shouting didn’t help him at the slightest bit because if it did, people won’t die from fights.
Ye Xiao was obviously winning the fight. Even though the Honor Demon was unbelievably powerful, he was just getting hit by his blows that seemed endless. Soon enough, it looks like the honor demon has stopped breathing.
He was gone! He was perished! His soul was killed! He was never going to be back again!
Thunders in the sky were still twinkling, and the golden hawk was flying over the sky again and again. Ye Xiao was wrapped by the purple lightning, standing straight up in the sky, looking down upon the world. He was truly a peerless legend in the world!
At this moment, although Ye Xiao was still being struck by the thunders again and again, even though there were thousands of wounds in him because of the thunder strikes, he knew that the thunders would not harm him at all! The heavenly trial actually could not hurt him at all!
In fact, the heavenly trial thunders were continually refilling his energy while also refining his physical body. The lightning squeezed out the impurity inside his body, every bit of it!
It was such a shocking truth that the heavenly trial thunders which broke the limit of time and space actually did Ye Xiao a favor like this!
Why did it hurt the Honor Demon so badly then?
Ye Xiao was shocked as well. He had no idea why things would come to this end.
When he started to attract the heavenly trial thunders, he had prepared to die in the thunders with the Honor Demon in his arms.
He wanted to sacrifice himself to kill the demon and save the world!
He never thought that the heavenly trial thunders would work like that. It enhanced Ye Xiao but on the other hand, it weakened the Honor Demon at the same time. It felt like the heaven’s will was pushing Ye Xiao to the position of victory.
Heaven’s will always fool people… Hmm, it also fooled demons!
At this moment, something else happened, which astonished Ye Xiao and the others.
When the Honor Demon died, the heavenly trial thunders still kept striking at the place where he perished. All of a sudden, an invisible power which was extremely oppressive came from nowhere. With a big cracking sound, a cloud of dark qi started to rise from the ground.
A huge and weird shadow appeared afterward. It was something that looked like a beast with two horns on the head, a hideous face, and some long sharp teeth. Tentacles grew out of its body. That hideous thing was at least a thousand feet high, and it was running as it roared. Although it was just a shadow, people felt that it was something solid and real.
When they saw the horrible appearance of that monster, everybody started to shed cold sweat on the backs and the forehead. The monster abruptly showed up, and the heavenly trial thunders started to strike more frequently.
The monster kept running everywhere, but it couldn’t get out the affected area of the heavenly trial, so it suddenly stopped to shout toward the sky with abuse. “You f*cking heavens! Why do you have to push me to death like this! Why do you have to do this to me?”
He roared and shouted like a mad man. The sound of his shout actually was louder than the thunderclaps sometimes.
When people heard the monster’s shout, they all felt dizzy, it was as if something demonic had gotten into their heart through their ears. It shook their souls.
The dark clouds were getting thicker and thicker in the sky, and the heavenly trial thunders kept striking down. Countless bolts of purple lightning accurately struck on the monster again and again. The purple lights kept shining and shining as it encircled the monster. The huge shadow of the monster kept shaking and twisting in the sky, and he was screeching. Bit by bit, it was torn into pieces.
Clouds of dark smoke kept coming out from his body, fixing the broken demonic shadow, but then the heavenly trial thunders smashed it apart once more.
The monster’s angry roar sounded even more bitter than before. He shouted loud and said, “F*cking heavens! How dare you destroy my shadow! How dare you! How dare you! How dare you!”
The heavenly trial thunders finally stopped for a second, but it didn’t truly stop. It was preparing for a bigger strike. A huge ball of purple thunder which looked like a purple sun, soon fell down from the sky.
As expected, the purple sun crashed down and hit the shadow.
The purple thunder ball was incredibly powerful, it was much more powerful than any of those thunder strikes before!
— Boom… –
Everybody saw it clearly. That shadow got hit by the huge ball purple thunder which twisted its body into the sky. It was twisting, shrinking, and then swelling… In the end, with a huge sound of explosion, it became a cloud of smoke which was then scattered through the air.
As the demonic shadow exploded, seemingly endless amounts of demonic qi started to shoot up to the sky. However, nobody felt threatened by the demonic qi at all. Under the effect of the boundless thunder strikes, what could the demonic qi do to hurt them anyway?
As expected, the demonic qi which filled up the entire sky immediately got cleaned up. Bright lights shined upon the world again, and everything became so clear and lively in peace.
The dark clouds in the sky were scattered away and the sun rose up and shone its bright lights behind the clouds. The long missing sunshine splashed to the land once again. The world was full of green and red once more. The qi of life was everywhere. The area where was affected by the heavenly trial thunders started to grow with the significant power of life once more.
When the last bit of the dark clouds was gone, the last thunder struck on Ye Xiao too. After the ablution from the heavenly trial, Ye Xiao’s body actually started to shine with a holy glow!
Lei Dadi and the other two great elders were so exhausted that they thought that they were dying. When the three old men saw the heavenly glow shining from Ye Xiao, their eyes were filled with warm tears!
[He did it!]
[He finally did it!]
[Ye Xiao has gotten through the heavenly trial!]
[The Xiao Monarch, once again, writes a new legend of his own in the Qing-Yun Realm!]
[After tens of thousands of years, the Qing-Yun Realm finally has the man who is powerful enough to ascend to the Human Realm Upon Heavens.]
