One after another, thunder strikes followed in session, Zhang Haoxuan was continuously struck from the air, only to fly up again and again. The originally fiery red lion shadow behind him gradually became solid and started to transform into a golden color. This was undoubtedly a good sign.
However, Zhang Haoxuan''s own consumption was also quite tremendous. He now understood why Tang San had asked him to absorb life force for three more days, and to do so wholeheartedly. During the process of his tribtion, what helped him recover from injuries and restored his body after his refinement was the life force! The pure life energy from the Golden Tree allowed him such swift recovery. But as the thunder kept falling, this pure life energy was rapidly depleting. This made Zhang Haoxuan''s heart start to tense up. It was his first time, and he had no idea how long this lightning tribtion wouldst. At least from the current situation, the sky was still gloomy, and there were no signs that the lightning tribtion was dissipating.
"Boom!" Another massive thunderbolt struck, sending Zhang Haoxuan tumbling down to barely stabilize his body above the sea surface. Yet, a feeling of emptiness began to emerge within him. Was his umtion still not enough?
Zhang Haoxuan''s brows furrowed deeply. But just then, to his surprise, he noticed that the sky seemed to brighten a bit, indicating that the lightning tribtion might be weakening.
Tang San''s voice also came at this moment, "Teacher, if you get struck again, you can fall into the sea, and I will help you replenish your life force."
Zhang Haoxuan couldn''t speak at this time, but hearing this, he felt greatly relieved.
Indeed, when the next thunderbolt fell, it was noticeably smaller than before.
With a "boom," Zhang Haoxuan was struck from the sky and plunged directly into the sea. The clouds of tribtion in the sky also dispersed a bit more with this.
Falling into the sea, Zhang Haoxuan, due to his high temperature, immediately caused arge expanse of mist to rise. However, in the next instant, he felt a vast life energy from the sea surge into his body, rapidly replenishing his deficits. Although he inherently felt a repulsion towards the water element, the influx of this life energy still filled his empty body with a sense offort.
"Hmm, I must be about to seed," Zhang Haoxuan naturally felt in high spirits and greatly soothed at this point.
But just at the next moment, he suddenly tensed up. An ominous premonition suddenly appeared in his mind. Given that he was not yet fully a god, but could be considered a demigod, his spiritual power had already begun exhibiting some characteristics of divine consciousness, and his sense of impending danger had naturally strengthened considerably.
What''s going on? Is there a problem?
At this time, mist rose before his eyes, so he couldn''t see the outside situation. However, Tang San was dumbfounded.
When Zhang Haoxuan fell into the sea, it was naturally Tang San who had directed the life energy from the sea to supplement his teacher.
But in the instant he was providing the supplement, as if sensing his presence, an invisible will swept over.
Tang San almost instantly closed off his divine consciousness, letting his body sink deep into the sea like a free-falling object. But in the sky, the clouds of tribtion that were about to disperse once again became solid, and seemed to have doubled in size from before.
And Zhang Haoxuan, sensing the crisis and bursting out from the mist, had just flown out of the sea when he saw three colossal blood-red thunders, thick as water barrels,ing straight at him.
The previous lightning tribtions, weren''t they one by one? Yet this time, it turned into a chain of lightning tribtions, and even more potent at that.
An entity sinking towards the depths of the sea was silently murmuring in its heart, Teacher, I''m sorry!
Tang San did indeed mean well, using his divine consciousness to guide the life force in the ocean to replenish Zhang Haoxuan''s life force, but the problem was, his divine consciousness stirred during Zhang Haoxuan''s tribtion process. The nar power''s sensitivity to this region became particrly pronounced, promptly detecting his "heretical" presence. Although Tang San sealed his divine consciousness at the first opportunity, the might from the ne still descended instantly.
Faced with three colossal bolts of lightning, Zhang Haoxuan almost without a moment''s hesitation plunged deeper into the sea once again. Surging mes rose to challenge, attempting to block the descent of the three bolts of thunder.
A streak of white light surged from beneath the water at that moment, shining upon him and causing the three enormous bolts of lightning to seem to veer off, not striking him directly. Despite this, Zhang Haoxuan was still sted into the water by the shockwaves. In an instant, arge area of seawater vaporized, and the terrifying thunder created a depression in the sea over an area of thousands of square meters.
Zhang Haoxuan''s brain feltpletely nk at that moment, his entire being''s spirit and emotions as if they had utterly disappeared in that instant.
Unbeknownst to him, a vine quietly coiled around his ankle, pulling him sideways into the seawater as the thunder''s might furiously raged.
Zhang Haoxuan''s tribtion had in fact already beenpleted. The subsequent three massive bolts of lightning were not aimed at him, but at the sensed "heretics." The heretical presence waspletely eradicated under the barrage of lightning, and the clouds of tribtion in the sky, after lingering for a while, silently dissipated.
Tang San''s mouth twitched as he looked at the unconscious Zhang Haoxuan before him, feeling somewhat speechless.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om
When he was using divine consciousness to manipte the life force in the ocean to help Zhang Haoxuan recover, he was also testing the ne''s intent, albeit with just a hint of divine consciousness. Clearly, however, the ne has a stronger rejection of him, an outsider, than he had anticipated.
If this is how it turned out with just a hint of divine consciousness revealed, what about when he himself faces a tribtion? Wouldn''t the entire nar power target him? That''s a big problem!
If this trouble can''t be resolved, Ninth Stage would be his end. And most importantly, as his strength reaches a certain level, he would naturally absorb Origin Energy to replenish himself, and his cultivation base would silently and slowly elevate. Unless he disables himself, there will alwayse a day when he must face a Heavenly Tribtion. That''s the real troubling matter.
This probe had made it clear to Tang San just how strong the ne''s rejection of his kind as an outsider is, making it virtually impossible to transcend tribtion under such circumstances. He must consider carefully what to do next.
However, as someone who was once a Godking and understood the universe''s secrets, Tang San could somewhat understand why the Fn''s ne master would reject him so.
Putting aside whether the ne master acts instinctively or possesses the ability to think, at the simplest level, Fn itself is extremely rich in resources and vast, otherwise it couldn''t possibly have birthed beings like the Great Demon Emperor and the Heavenly Spirit Emperor, who areparable to level 1 gods. With such abundant resources from a single, at least among thes that Tang San had seen, this one is second to none.
At this level of energy, Fn''s future development will inevitably evolve towards the level of the divine world. This is also why it rejects Tang San. A with such abundant resources is too easy to covet by outsiders. Once controlled by a powerful external being, the nar power, when drawn upon, will result in a Divine Realm not for this ne but for another''s gain.
In simpler terms, Fn is like a juicy piece of fat in the universe, which, if discovered by powerful nes, especially the Divine Realm, would likely stir desires to devour it. This is also an important reason for the strong rejection of outsiders. Tang San even suspects that the reason the ne cultivates so many top-tier powerhouses is to counter an invasion from outsiders when ites.
