Chapter 169: 170: Plain and Simple Super Double
The ragged old beggar was in an extremely arrogant mood, feeling better than he had in many years. His cultivation level was unstable, flickering in and out of existence, leaving him with just a sliver of spiritual power to use on ordinary days. Yet at this moment, he could access a trace of the primordial power from his peak period.
He had to seize this opportunity to strike a posture brimming with style, especially with so many onlookers below.
“Senior is mighty!”
Full of veneration, Ou Yezi dared not act rashly and focused entirely on the chance to observe the ragged old beggar’s techniques.
Lighting up a cigarette, the ragged old beggar appeared indifferent, casually beckoning to the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals formed from the thunder and lightning above: “Come at me, I’ll teach you a lesson on how to be human!”
Heavenly Tribulation represented the authority and sanctity of the Heavenly Dao, inviolable and beyond provocation. Amidst the lightning, another humanoid bolt stepped forward.
This humanoid bolt was clad in armor, wielding a long spear, and mounted on a steed that neighed fiercely, fixing its torch-like eyes on the ragged old beggar. At this moment, the void trembled with the destructive aura of the tribulation sweeping across, causing the cultivators below to feel as if their bodies were splintering and blood gushing out.
Shocked to their core, they quickly retreated from the site.
An encounter of such magnitude was beyond their comprehension to witness. Merely by catching a glimpse, their physical bodies almost shattered; it was too powerful.
Li Xiaobai, too, did not dare to dally. He floored the accelerator, ready to leave posthaste, for the brief glimpse he caught of the lightning had almost scared him witless when the System panel popped up with attribute points.
[Attribute Points +20000…]
The Heavenly Tribulation was too strong; just looking at it caused one’s body to feel on the verge of collapsing. Should one continue to watch for any longer, death was certain. Although the increase in Attribute Points was tempting, Li Xiaobai did not dare to gamble on it.
Just then, the humanoid lightning in the void charged forward, the sound of its hooves as fierce as a real horse, rushing towards the ragged old beggar.
The ragged old beggar, full of confidence, slightly raised his hand and, without even looking at the opponent, reached out into the void: “Too weak.”
But the next second, he couldn’t laugh anymore because nothing happened—he had grasped nothing but air.
The humanoid bolt was upon him in nearly the blink of an eye, lunging forward with its spear, sending the ragged old beggar flying with a single strike.
“Come on, you can’t be serious. My big move hasn’t even been unleashed yet!” the ragged old beggar cried out as he bolted toward where Li Xiaobai was located, sensing that the unbeatable force within him had suddenly disappeared again.
“Boss, no time to explain, let the ragged old beggar hop in!”
Ou Yezi: “???”
The spectators: “???”
Li Xiaobai: “…”
Li Xiaobai slapped his forehead. Whether it was his ragged beggar appearance from back in the day or his current guise of an unequalled master, there was always an air of unreliability about him.
This was a dangerous character, one to avoid in the future.
“Boss, drive! The Heavenly Tribulation is catching up!”
The ragged old beggar leapt into the car, urging incessantly, the humanoid bolt of lightning pursuing relentlessly on horseback.
Li Xiaobai, scared out of his wits, floored the accelerator, and the Lamborghini tore off, vanishing from the spot in an instant.
In the void, Ou Yezi stood there, dumbstruck.
What’s going on? Weren’t you supposed to be able to wipe it out effortlessly?
And now, after doubling the power of the Heavenly Tribulation, you just dust off your hands and leave like that?
Watching the gathering tribulation clouds above, Ou Yezi started to get a bad feeling, wondering if he had been tricked.
“Boom!”
The colossal thunderbolt pillar crashed down, enveloping Ou Yezi within it; the entire secret realm rapidly collapsed.
“Elder Tianwu, I’ve lost my thunderous mother…”
Ou Yezi wanted to curse, but he was quickly swallowed by the vast sea of thunder and lightning.
“Run for it!”
“The power of the heavenly tribulation has doubled again!”
“Just now, that old fellow ran off, and today, this powerful being is truly screwed by the tribulation!”
“Be careful not to get contaminated by the heavenly tribulation…”
The cultivators sprinted wildly, the breath of destruction was no laughing matter; the heavenly tribulation had completely turned into a sea of lightning, even more terrifying than the previous Flesh Mountain. Now, the only thing on everyone’s mind was to preserve their own lives.
They swore in their hearts that they would never come to the Northern Region again!
No one noticed that the previously shattered huge Flesh Mountain, struck by the heavenly tribulation, had now silently vanished from the ground.
Inside the sports car.
The old beggar patted his chest, looking visibly shaken, “Scared to death, I was. Almost game over.”
Li Xiaobai was covered in metaphorical black lines, this old guy was just too much, enhancing the power of someone else’s heavenly tribulation, then turning tail and running, an absolute pitfall.
“Giggle, old man, you can’t even posture properly without any real ability. You just don’t cut it; follow me from now on,” Ji Wuqing said with a dismissive sneer.
“Humph, the old beggar just wasn’t in good form. If not for that, what’s a mere tribulation? Even that sea of lightning, the old beggar could tear it apart!”
The old beggar turned red-faced and blustery; that recent event had indeed been a bit shady. He had thrown the Flesh Mountain into the heavenly tribulation causing its power to double, then he himself provoked it, easily doubling its power again. In total, the heavenly tribulation’s power had increased at least fourfold, and it was uncertain whether the lad could withstand it.
The most embarrassing part was that it was utterly humiliating. He had boasted to the skies, but when the crucial moment came, he dropped the ball. Even with his thick skin, he found it unbearable.
“Such big talk, did you eat celery or something?”
Ji Wuqing scoffed coldly.
“Stop bickering, that heavenly tribulation is still following us, and it’s not slow. It looks like it might be quite difficult to shake it off. Old man, when will you be ‘in the mood’?”
Li Xiaobai kept an eye on the humanoid lightning behind them, somewhat regretting letting the old beggar get in the car.
“Well, you can’t force that kind of thing, it comes when the moment is right,” said the old beggar.
“Boss, don’t worry; this humanoid lightning can’t stray too far from the sea of thunder. The farther it gets, the weaker its power becomes, and it will dissipate on its own eventually,” the old beggar explained.
Li Xiaobai nodded. It looked like he needed to push the speed. He had already made up his mind; if they were caught by the humanoid lightning, he would simply kick the old beggar out of the car, since the lightning was after him, anyway.
The Lamborghini’s speed was astoundingly fast; they broke out of the Tianbei Secret Realm in the midst of conversation and sped away, Li Xiaobai preparing to head back to Holy Demon Sect first.
Behind them, the humanoid lightning flashed and thundered, sweeping across everything in its path, turning the surrounding flora to dust. Occasionally, streaks of lightning brushed past the sports car. Watching the numbers jump on the system panel, Li Xiaobai’s heart pounded with fear.
[Attribute Points +5000…]
[Attribute Points +10000…]
This thing was absolutely not to be trifled with. Only Great Crossing Realm Cultivators were probably qualified to contend with this kind of humanoid heavenly tribulation; those at the Tribulation Crossing Stage would simply be courting death.
He took out several top-grade Spirit Stones and threw them into the fuel tank.
Top-grade Spirit Stones were the best spirit stones on the Immortal Spirit Continent, and thrown into the fuel tank, the engine roared, screeching tires screamed as they tore down the road even faster.
Li Xiaobai felt somewhat pained; these were all pure and valuable Spirit Stones, and he would have to find a way to get them back from the old beggar.
