Chapter 337 – Heavenly Lightning Tribulation (2/2)

The bull-head looked at Lei Yu for a while before replying: “Yes!”

Lei Yu’s eyes lit up, “What way?”

“Kill him! The heavenly lightning tribulation will take a long time. It’s during this tribulation that the person is at their weakest moment. With my speed and before the tribulation ends, making a move on him would cause his complete annihilation. It’s only that…” Reaching to this point, bull-head hesitated.

“Only what?” Lei Yu eagerly asked.

“Trying to prevent this tribulation would cause everyone in the Immortal Realm to despise the saboteur, and result in leaving behind a name of infamy throughout the ages. One needs to understand that for a cultivator to condense their gold core is already extremely difficult, not to mention the last threshold of the Boundary Transition. If people found out someone acted to prevent the tribulation, the Immortal World might unite together and attack the culprit. Unless you manage to silence all witnesses, otherwise there’s no other way of getting mud on your name.” Bull-head explained.

Lei Yu smiled while shaking his head, “That’s something I wouldn’t do either. If our interference really caused his complete annihilation, that would be too villainous of us!” After laughing a bit, Lei Yu then said: “Even if he has reached the Mahayana stage, I will depend on my own hard work to catch up to him because I want to fight with him fair and square!”

One of the reason people were unconsciously attracted to Lei Yu was that he would never perform underhanded moves against others. Men had to be righteous and just in order to be respected by others!

“I believe you will eventually accomplish that!” Nodded bull-head with a satisfied look on his face. Everyone else had forgotten the embarrassing encounter with Lei Yu’s soul and was now only looking at him with respect and admiration.

“I will continue working hard!” Lei Yu made up his mind and clenched his fists. Once he takes care of his matters, he will focus all his attention on cultivating! Only when he reaches the Mahayana stage will he truly become an overlord in the Immortal World that gained the respect of millions. This wasn’t the glory that Lei Yu desired, but it was only reaching that point will he be able to stand up and be able to truly protect those around him!

There were a total of six lightning strikes and each one was more destructive than the next. But the strikes didn’t come one after another but had a long pause in-between. They also came at random times so one wouldn’t know when it would come. Lei Yu said to himself: “Void Immortal, I hope you don’t get obliterated by the heavenly lightning because I want to directly kill you myself! I will use my own strength to defeat you!”

After a full day and night, the skies started calming down and the storm clouds gradually dissipated revealing the blue sky once again. Lei Yu stood there unmoving until the heavenly lightning had come to an end. One could see the hot blood boiling in his eyes, which was the source of his current motivation!

Upon arriving at the Devil King’s castle, Lei Yu said to himself: “I had always been counting on the green energy so in the future; I will have to count on my own abilities to become stronger!”

There was no day or night for Lei Yu while cultivating, and each time he would enter a deep meditative state for at least two months at a time. But it was also because of this that his strength continued to increase. Inside the Spiritual Bracelet of Frost, Xue Yu wasn’t tired or bored and just continued to assist Lei Yu by purifying all the absorbed spiritual energy. This allowed Lei Yu’s cultivation to yield twice the benefits with half the effort.

Sometime a year later…

Upon slowly opening his eyes, Lei Yu’s lips curved into a smile. This was exactly his signature smile. Lei Yu then went to the small room in the back with the wooden door.

“We can leave now!” Lei Yu coldly said.

The Devil King’s skull was glimmering with a green light, “You have truly made me shocked. Even without the help of my energy, I’m sure you would have reached this strength eventually. Not bad, not bad at all!”

“It’s not necessary for you to praise me. Let’s not delay anymore and head out!” Lei Yu’s tone was cold and it wasn’t a tone he would use towards others. But when facing this terrifying looking Devil King’s skull, there was no way he could pretend to be amicable.

“I want to remind you that having more people accompany us it not necessary a good thing. It would actually be easier if you went alone!”

Those words of the Devil King made Lei Yu frown, but he still nodded. “Tell me, where’s this place we’re going to?”

“We’re going to the eastern sea edge wherein the Forest of Fog lies!”
