Vol 14 Chapter 13 (1/2)

Book 14, Return to the Grand Xia, Chapter 13 – My Master

Iround His head raised, he stared at the lightning-cloud vortex, those five pitch-black Heavenraker swords swirling around him When that first bolt of skythunder fell down from the skies…

“Go!” Immortal Diancai pointed Instantly, one of the five Heavenraker swords shot out It seemed to have transforht and power behind it as it went forth to welco

BOOM!

An enormous collision sound The Heavenraker Immortal sword, as stable as a mountain, just trembled for a moment, whereas the bolt of skythunder was completely dispersed

“The first bolt of skythunder is the weakest; even the most ordinary of Void-level Earth Immortals can withstand it Given junior apprentice-brother Diancai’s power and the fact that he has five top-grade Iin to find it taxing when he reaches the twenty-seventh bolt of skythunder,” Immortal Fivecraze said

“Mreement Immortal Fivecraze had been defeated by the twenty-fifth bolt; if he had top-grade I swords back then, he probably would’ve been able to make it past the twenty-seventh as well

Skythunder…every nine bolts represented a different level of power

The first nine bolts eak Eighteen bolts were stronger But twenty-seven bolts, thirty-six bolts…every nine bolts represented an increase in lethality The legendary eighty-one bolts of skythunder…even the thought of theh to terrify

BOOM! BOOM!

Skythunder exploded forth ild fury One bolt after another cale one of his top-grade Ihteen bolts, causing a hint of joy to appear on his face Although he knew in theory hoerful theses swords were, only now did he truly understand how tre swords were during the terrifying thunder tribulation!

BOOM! The nineteenth bolt of thunder was e than the last, and it ca poithin it; it was clearly on a higher level of power than the previous bolts

That single Heavenraker sword once hty as a mountain

BANG!

The illusory mountain around the Heavenraker sword collapsed, and the sword itself was knocked doards The re force of the skythunder continued to crash doards Ihtest He just let out a lol, and instantly three of the four re with golden light, watery light, and earthen light

The three Heavenraker swords for the re power of the skythunder

“Your master has only used his Tripartite Sword Forly gifted, and o he reached the Dao Realm level in three mastered Dao-Paths He’s also einally only used three Immortal swords, and the technique he used the most often was this Tripartite Sword Forained even hts and has thus developed the Five Elements Sword”

Ning nodded slightly Indeed After histhree Immortal swords, his power seemed to increase dra after another, even overco the twenty-fifth bolt which had done in Ih the twenty-seventh bolt

“It’s time for another increase in power,” Immortal Fivecraze said with concern

Twenty-seven bolts…this represented the end of the first three nine-sets

Thirty-six would represent the end of the fourth nine-set!

As the twenty-eighth bolt ca down, the Tripartite Sword Formation was suddenly pressed doards…but it was still able to withstand the bolt But then came the twenty-ninth, the thirtieth bolts…the power of the skythunder was slowly increasing, and the Tripatite Sword For to crumble By the time of the thirty-sixth bolt of skythunder, Irowl Instantly, all five of the Heavenraker swords fleards to welcome this bolt

Rumble…

As the five Heavenraker swords fleards, they formed into the illusion of five massive mountains in the sky, each of a different color The five I incohty and solid as they effortless deflected the thirty-sixth bolt of skythunder as well

“Fine treasures A fine sword-art!” Immortal Fivecraze said excitedly

“Even the thirty-sixth bolt was blocked” Ning revealed a look of exciteed This was because an evento descend fro

“What?! Can it be that your master’s tribulation involves forty-five bolts?!” Immortal Fivecraze felt shocked

Ning’s face turned solehtest bit overconfident in facing their tribulations…because even a tiny unblocked fraction of the thunderbolt would be enough to completely blow apart their bodies! FiendGod Body Refiners, by contrast, would generally be able to use their bodies to withstand a small amount of remnant power from the thunderbolts

Thus…for many, thirty-six thunderbolts represented a plateau, the conclusion of the fourth nine-set Ki Refiners generally had a chance to survive the first four sets…but after that, chances would grow dim!

The thirty-seventh bolt of skythunder was clearly farcould sense the invisible pressure and power of the bolt just by looking nat it The power of this bolt of skythunder was at the level of a Celestial Immortal already!

Rumble…

From within the five enored to block this bolt of skythunder, but they were pushed down strongly in the process

“Such power” Ied as well, but his expression reaze remained resolute

He wasn’t going to retreat or flee!

BOOM!

The thirty-eighth bolt of skythunder ca down, and Irade I to force it aside once more But this time, the five illusory mountains that represented the five swords were nearly destroyed

“Not good” Watching froed dramatically “It’s very hard to say as to whether or not your master will be able to overcome the forty-fifth bolt of skythunder”

Ning didn’t say anything; he just watched closely He could tell this as well!

Given that even the thirty-eighth bolt was already alh to cause his master’s sword-arts to crumble…it was very hard to say if his master would be able to make it all the way past the forty-fifth In the past, Immortal Fivecraze had succumbed to the twenty-fifth bolt, rather than the twenty-seventh bolt

BOOM!

The lightning-cloud vortex in the skies spat out the thirty-ninth bolt of skythunder, even more ferocious than the previous bolts
