Chapter 716: Lightning Field (1/2)

Chapter 716: Lightning Field

“Boom!” The ancient rune rushed out from the pillar in the fate palace and instantly stood guard in front of Li Qiye. A series of thumping sounds emerged as the rune turned into multiple universal laws that were seemingly made out of divine metal.

These laws intertwined into a supreme chapter. With a buzzing sound, the book transformed into a spatial vortex that instantly began to swirl.

“Rumble!” The swirling spatial vortex created a terrifying gravitational pull. Even the waves of lightning lost control and were sucked into this vortex.

The treefather was also astounded after seeing this. He had suppressed this lightning before; at that time, they gravely injured him. He was well aware of their power. Not to mention Li Qiye, even Virtuous Paragons would not be able to use their most powerful law to withstand it, let alone absorb them.

The treefather shuddered at Li Qiye’s intention of devouring this lightning. This was a grand tribulation from the high heavens! Even a G.o.dking like himself wouldn’t be able to do so; this person’s ambition was too great.

He didn’t know that the rune from Li Qiye's pillar of life was not ordinary. Li Qiye had obtained an ancient and heaven-shattering rune from the world tree. After a long and boring period of refinement, he was able to turn it into a heaven-defying chapter as well as the most mysterious rune. This runic chapter, combined with his pillar of life, could be considered a whole new dao epoch!

To use this dao beginning to open a s.p.a.ce that belonged to his pillar of life and absorb the lightning was something only Li Qiye could do.

As Li Qiye devoured even more lightning, the spatial vortex seemed to have reached its maximum capacity. Waves of lightning then appeared inside the pillar of life as explosions appeared everywhere. Without a doubt, the more lightning he absorbed, the closer his pillar of life came to the brink of collapse since it couldn’t handle the endless waves of lightning.

Even more crackles could be heard as lightning rampaged through his body. Some small sparks even exploded from his body, creating even more detonations.

In an instant, a burning smell could be found emanating from Li Qiye’s body. It seemed that Li Qiye had reached his limit. The lightning aimed to burn him to a crisp.

After smelling this scent, the treefather became worried and quickly asked: “Young n.o.ble Li, are you okay?”

“Open!” Li Qiye roared. With another explosion, a bunch of fate palaces appeared above his head amidst the action. A series of rumbles resounded as if his pillar of life was becoming even larger and shot up towards the sky!

“Bang! Bang! Bang!” The moment all of his fate palaces appeared, the power of the spatial vortex soared exponentially. It crazily devoured all the lightning like a funnel. Eventually, all the lightning was absorbed by this void.

The beginning was only a test. At this moment, Li Qiye let go of all caution and opened all of his fate palaces, allowing his pillar to absorb the endless lightning.

“Twelve fate palaces…” The moment all of his palaces appeared, the treefather’s expression greatly s.h.i.+fted. Twelve palaces, unique among all eons!

“Wait, not right…” Very quickly, the treefather was able to see the thirteenth palace soaring above the rest as if it was hiding in the clouds.

“Thirteen palaces!” The treefather quickly went from feeling shocked to being aghast. Even an apex existence like himself who lived for many years and had seen countless miracles was frightened. He needed to take several steps back from the jolt.

In an instant, his old pair of eyes opened wide while gazing at the thirteenth palace hovering above all the others. He even rubbed his eyes since he thought he was only seeing things.

However, after rubbing his eyes for a while, the thirteenth palace was still there, meaning that it was not only in his mind!
