Chapter 649: Wrath of Heaven, Innate Divine Ability
Chapter 649: Wrath of Heaven, Innate Divine Ability
As Xiao Ming watched the darker and more immense thunderclouds, the sense of threat within him grew stronger. He had successfully condensed the Myriad Spirit Floating World Body and restored his realm. Thanks to his own strength and the power of the Sovereign Celestial Body, elite experts of the same stage could not withstand more than a few of his moves. The so-called Heavenly Sovereign Calamity should not have been able to threaten him this much.
Even one enhanced by chaotic power shouldn't be able to!
Recalling the scene in the simulator where he was struck by lightning while devouring continents, Xiao Ming couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
'Let's just call that thunderbolt the Wrath of Heaven.'
'So, could this be 'that' Wrath of Heaven?'
No, it must be a combination of the Heavenly Sovereign Calamity and the Wrath of Heaven, but shouldn't this phenomenon occur only after devouring many continents? Now that he had just consumed a small continent, it was already impatient to strike and split him.
Was there no regard for martial ethics anymore?!
Xiao Ming, who normally did not like to curse, cursed in his heart at the thought of the power of this Heaven Wrath. Was he really going to be seriously injured again just after restoring his strength?
Rustle!
While Xiao Ming was feeling somewhat uneasy, the thunderbolts above the void had completely condensed, and the black clouds were swirling. Suddenly, a stream of black water descended from the sky. It appeared light but crushed even the void as it fell.
Xiao Ming's gaze sharpened as he saw this, and he wasted no time. A colossal surge of Spiritual Energy erupted from his towering figure and swept upward. Finally, it formed a Spiritual Energy barrier!
Boom!
The stream of black water struck the Spiritual Energy barrier with a thunderous impact, causing it to tremble violently. Each drop of black water was like a mountain, all falling together like a myriad of mountains crashing down, the force of which was terrifyingly formidable.
Cracks appeared in the Spiritual Energy barrier under the onslaught of the water stream. However, it did not shatter completely. Instead, it held firm until the black water stream vanished into thin air.
'Whew~, this Lightning Calamity is indeed formidable, but fortunately it's still bearable.'
Xiao Ming breathed a sigh of relief. This Lightning Calamity hadn't inflicted any serious injuries from the beginning, so there was still some wiggle room. Perhaps this Lightning Calamity didn't have the scale to severely injure him like the one in the simulator.
After all, he had only usurped control of a single continent, far less than what he had devoured in the simulator. The Great Thousand World's loss of control was less significant, hence the lower degree of wrath.
This made sense!
The black clouds above him churned again as these thoughts flashed through his mind. The next moment, the temperature in the void soared as a streak of black fire descended from the sky.
The streak of fire seemed weak, but it caused Xiao Ming to put aside all distractions. His surging Spiritual Energy rose to mend the Spiritual Energy barrier riddled with cracks.
The black fire streaked down and finally landed on the barrier. There was no earth-shattering explosion; instead, it acted like a highly corrosive acid. With a hissing sound, the Spiritual Energy barrier quickly melted away...
Xiao Ming reacted immediately upon seeing this and threw the barrier far away. Moments later, the streak of black fire completely dissolved the Spiritual Energy barrier.
Rumble!
Immediately after the black fire fell, the black clouds churned again, this time with a thunderous force. A black meteor formed from gathered lightning slowly emerged from the clouds and then plummeted.
Xiao Ming watched the black meteor plummet. He was not going to just sit there and wait for death. With a thought, the Myriad Spirit Floating World Body beneath him burst into countless colors of rosy light. These were not ordinary lights, but numerous strands of Heavenly Flames.
Various colored Heavenly Flames converged in his hands, ultimately forming a multi-colored longbow.
The Myriad Spirit Floating World Body raised its head, aimed at the meteor, and drew back its bow. An arrow made of multi-colored flames materialized on the bowstring.
Whoosh!
The Myriad Spirit Floating World Body released its fingers, and the multi-colored arrow shot out violently. It collided with the black meteor, causing it to tremble for a moment. However, the arrow itself disintegrated into powder under the immense impact.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Nonetheless, one multi-colored arrow after another continued to shoot into the sky. Even though each one was shattered as if it were brittle wood, the descent of the black meteor was slowed as a result.
At that moment, Xiao Ming once again activated the Myriad Spirit Floating World Body. Numerous strands of Heavenly Flames once again shot into the sky and formed a series of giant multi-colored nets high above.
Boom! Boom!
The black meteor crashed down, violently shattering each giant net. However, as the nets disintegrated, the meteor was reduced to nearly half its size by the time it reached overhead.
Xiao Ming leaped up when he saw this. He clenched his right fist and struck the black meteor head on.
Rumble!
A ground-shaking shockwave erupted, and the black meteor shattered. The force of the impact sent Xiao Ming flying backward, landing on top of the Myriad Spirit Floating World Body. As he looked down, he noticed that his right hand, which had originally been as white as jade, was now slightly reddened.
Xiao Ming narrowed his eyes and remained silent.
After the black meteor fell, the dark clouds in the sky grew quiet. It seemed like an even stronger attack was brewing.
Rumble!
Suddenly, the black lightning tore through the clouds and rained down with overwhelming force. Each bolt was imbued with a terrifying power of destruction.
Xiao Ming's color changed slightly when he saw this. Without further hesitation, he let out a cold cry in his heart. The Myriad Spirit Floating World Body erupted in a burst of colors, forming a gigantic multicolored lotus that fully shielded him within.
Bang!
The black lightning fell continuously and relentlessly crashed onto the lotus. The lotus shook violently with each impact, and its petals shattered quietly one by one.
This onslaught was incredibly swift and seemed to be endless, like a torrential downpour. Even though Xiao Ming had activated his defenses, it felt as though he was a fragile boat in the midst of a storm, seemingly on the verge of capsizing at any moment.
Rumble!
Thunder echoed across the sky as the bombardment continued for an indeterminate amount of time. At one point, the lotus shattered with a loud explosion. After that, several bolts of black lightning struck Xiao Ming directly, forcing him to step back and eliciting a muffled groan from him.
Fortunately, the relentless black lightning gradually dissipated at that moment. Clearly, Xiao Ming had survived another ordeal.
Even Xiao Ming couldn't help but suck in a cold breath as the lightning faded. He took back his earlier words: this compounded Lightning Calamity was not to be underestimated.
No wonder, after understanding the reason in the simulator, he would rather fight the Fiend Clans for three hundred rounds than greedily devour uninhabited continents in the Great Thousand World.
Who could withstand such a relentless Lightning Calamity? Only he could; any other Heavenly Sovereign elite expert of the same stage would have been severely injured in that tempest of lightning.
"However, it seems the Lightning Calamity is not over yet."
Just as his voice fell, he suddenly sensed a sound coming from the black clouds. He abruptly looked up to see all the black clouds converging in one direction. Within a few breaths, the clouds dispersed again.
In their place appeared purple-colored Lightning Eye that exuded a vast, ancient and domineering aura. It was as if it could peer through the time and space of myriad realms!
The Lightning Eye suddenly opened, and a hair-thin streak of purple-colored lightning pierced the world and manifested itself in real space and time.
Boom!
The moment the lightning manifested, it appeared like an emperor, supremely noble, proudly hovering in the sky. Then a trace of lightning power began to grow stronger and stronger.
Finally, it turned into a purple void that wavered as it descended, targeting Xiao Ming.
"There really is more."
As the purple void descended, Xiao Ming's expression became solemn. He could sense the immense power contained within the void. It was a power more terrifying than the previous four lightning strikes combined.
High in the sky, the mysterious purple-colored void descended with an ethereal motion. Although its speed was not fast, the moment it fell, Xiao Ming instinctively knew that he could not avoid it.
In that instant, an indescribable sense of crisis surged through his heart.
Therefore, with a thought, Xiao Ming unhesitatingly activated the Myriad Spirit Floating World Body. In an instant, a brilliant chaotic light was emitted. This time, not only were the Heavenly Flames unleashed, but the Mysterious Thunder, Heavenly Water, Divine Ice, and Spirit Wood he had collected from the Dou Qi Continent and the Tian Xuan Continent also appeared. As a result, an enhanced version of the giant multi-colored lotus reappeared, forming a protective shield.
These spiritual items were no less powerful than the Heavenly Flames; it was just that Xiao Ming used them sparingly. However, this was a critical moment, and there was no need to hold anything back.
As Xiao Ming activated his defenses, the mysterious purple void finally descended, landing lightly on the multi-colored lotus.
The moment it touched the lotus, an endless burst of purple-colored light erupted from it. The light enveloped the lotus and immediately caused it to tremble violently upon contact.
In the next instant, the lotus began to disintegrate at a speed visible to the naked eye.
It was true annihilation. Even the Spiritual Energy dissipated into nothingness under the illumination of the purple-colored light.
Despite the formidable defenses Xiao Ming had constructed, they were powerless against the purple-colored light.
Xiao Ming's mind was severely shaken at this moment. If such a force were to strike him directly, even with his robust physical body, he would either be dead or severely crippled.
He looked up at the lotus, which would be corroded in just a few breaths. An aura of near-death enveloped his heart.
If it were anyone else, they might have been consumed by fear and despair by now, but not Xiao Ming. Having risen from an obscure orphan of a minor clan in a remote region of a lower plane to become a new generation Heavenly Emperor in the Great Thousand World, he had experienced too much to be easily frightened. Even though there were ripples in his pitch-black eyes, they showed little fear.
He pressed his lips together and didn't give up just because the mysterious purple void seemed unstoppable.
Instead, he steadied his mind and allowed his Spiritual Energy to pour out and merge with the lotus in a desperate attempt to resist.
After several breaths, the lotus was completely annihilated, and the purple void descended again, this time directly targeting both the Myriad Spirit Floating World Body and Xiao Ming himself.
Xiao Ming lifted his head, his face devoid of joy or sorrow. Meanwhile, the chaotic light around the Myriad Spirit Floating World Body grew stronger and smoother. From a distance, it resembled a Buddha serenely meditating in the vast void.
The tyrannical and unrivaled purple-colored light poured down onto the Myriad Spirit Floating World Body. As the purple-colored light descended, the chaotic light gradually dimmed, and finally, the Myriad Spirit Floating World Body began to dissolve into nothingness from the top down.
Xiao Ming gazed at the scene and slowly closed his eyes.
In this moment of destruction, his mind seemed to fully merge with the Myriad Spirit Floating World Body, and a flash of enlightenment arose in his heart.
Deep within his bloodline, something intertwined with his Spiritual Energy and gave birth to an innate Divine Ability
Chaotic Calamity Light!
