Chapter 216 - Seven Stars Align (1/2)

Chapter 216 - Seven Stars Align (Unedited)

This was a very long chasm and there was no end in sight. With Lei Yu’s current weak body, he may not be able to hold out walking that far, but there seemed to be a force summoning him. As if his legs simply weren’t listening to him, they kept desperately walking forward on their own.

The powerful energy didn’t appear to be concentrated at the end, but somewhere in the center of this place!

There was a significant depression in the ground here, and Lei Yu could feel waves of aura rise up from here and wrap around his entire body. This powerful aura made him have difficulty breathing so he quickly exhaled heavily. Lei Yu then closed his eyes, sat down cross-legged with both palms facing up and placed on his knees. In the center of his palms, a faint spark of lightning was dancing in the air. The heaving of Lei Yu’s chest also started growing steadier as time went on.

Shortly after Lei Yu closed his eyes, the surrounding no long stayed calm. Similar to a strong wind disturbing the ground and blowing dust around, the whole area started to change. Strands of yellow energy visible to the naked eye started seeping out of the ground around Lei Yu. After it swirled around a few times, it then broke apart into thousands of energy strands before plunging into every part of Lei Yu’s body in a crazy manner.

Lei Yu’s body was startled by this, and beads of sweat suddenly covered his whole forehead. Lei Yu’s breathing once again accelerated. Once these strands of yellow energy entered Lei Yu’s body through different meridians, it started circulating around trying to find a place it liked. But after a full cycle, it seemed like it hadn’t found anything to its taste. While close to Lei Yu’s nose area, it followed his breath and rushed out in frustration.

Lei Yu didn’t know what this meant, but continued dedicating his effort into absorbing the energy that was unable to escape out of his body. This energy was just too pure and too powerful!

After Lei Yu absorbed a large amount of those strands of yellow energy, gradually less and less were able to escape. According to the flowing paths of his cultivation method, this yellow energy was eventually merged into his own. Finally, the green energy residing in Lei Yu’s heart vessel couldn’t stay calm anymore and came out looking for its own share.

The moment this green energy made its appearance, those strands of yellow energy that had just escaped from Lei Yu’s body suddenly stopped. It then crazily dove back into Lei Yu’s body. Lei Yu suddenly clenched his hands and the faint dancing lightning disappeared.

“Aggghhh!” Lei Yu roared out, as red blood vessels started popping out in his eyes.

More and more energy in the surrounding gathered and entered into Lei Yu’s body. Along with the sudden changes of Lei Yu, the ground also started shaking and rocking around. At the same time, the large amount of yellow energy seeping out of the ground knocked Lei Yu into the air.

The yellow energy started as strands and became thin lines. The thin lines then changed to streams of energy the thickness of a finger. From all over, this energy stream then entered into Lei Yu’s body in a frenzy before fusing with the green energy within the heart vessel. Out of all this energy, Lei Yu was only able to absorb about one tenth of it.

Lei Yu, who was now suspended in midair, could no longer remain calm and maintain his cross-legged posture. The pain coming from his chest had started to make him curl up into a ball while he spasmed non-stop. Lei Yu had already reached an unbearable point from being tortured by the pain. Gasping for air was unable to relieve any pain, so he was now screaming hysterically. If one could see the pain in Lei Yu’s face right now, they would definitely be extremely worried for him. The pain had already surpassed his limit. The pain Lei Yu was experiencing right now was similar to having the meat on his body sliced off one piece at a time. It won’t allow you die, but it will make you beg for a quick death.

After a long time, Lei Yu looked like he was dead. Both his arms and legs were hanging lifelessly to the side while he was still suspended in midair by the energy rushing out of the ground.

It was at this time that the lightning brand on Lei Yu’s right arm suddenly flashed brilliantly. The pain from this once again made Lei Yu roar out loudly.

Three meters below Lei Yu’s floating body, an enormous column of energy the same thickness as a human surged out of the depression in the ground.
