Chapter 336: Mo Wuji’s Lightning Tribulation (2/2)
”No, I dare say that this man is not undergoing a Worldly Immortal lightning tribulation, but an authentic True God lightning tribulation.” A different voice in the crowd spoke out.
”Why do you think so? Have you seen such an extreme True God lightning tribulation?” Immediately, someone retorted.
Another long haired man spoke in a low voice, ”I don’t know what lightning tribulation he is undergoing, but I definitely would not be able to take one like this.”
Many people recognised this long haired man, who was a real True God Stage Level 2 expert. A True God lightning tribulation that even a True God Stage Level 2 expert could not bear with; as such this could really have been a Worldly Immortal lightning tribulation.
The cultivator that previously confirmed that Mo Wuji wasn’t going through a Worldly Immortal lightning tribulation shook his head and said, ”Because I know who this person is.”
”Who is he?” Upon hearing this, almost everyone asked frantically. The whole crowd stared at this cultivator, obviously waiting to find out who was undergoing the heavenly tribulation.
One had to know that this was the person that had killed Li Xiuran, so if he was really in Nihility God Stage, then he would definitely be rank 1 on the Earth Board after that.
”I’m not sure what his name is, but I know that he should be Rogue Cultivator 2705.” Seeing that the surrounding people looked upon him with confused looks, he added on, ”I believe that everyone should not be unfamiliar with the past Mortal Board rank 1, Gu Shaoyi?”
Naturally, Gu Shaoyi was not a stranger to anyone, as he was once considered only second to Li Xiuran. It was a pity that he was actually defeated by a cultivator of the same level after making a trip to the Lost Continent, and gave away his title of rank 1 on the Mortal Board, returning shamefully.
…
Hmm, wait, wasn’t it Rogue Cultivator 2705 that defeated Gu Shaoyi? Could it really be this guy?
”That’s not right, how long has it been since Rogue Cultivator 2705 defeated Gu Shaoyi? No matter how fast he cultivates, he can’t really be undergoing the True God lightning tribulation this quickly right?”
”Who says that it’s not possible? Can you remember that some time ago, Rogue Cultivator 2705 actually went onto the Earth Board, and also killed Fu Zhize, taking over rank 9831.
”Something like that actually happened? Could this really be Rogue Cultivator 2705 that came from the Lost Continent? Oh right, how are you so sure that this is Rogue Cultivator 2705?” This last sentence was directed towards the cultivator that claimed that Mo Wuji was Rogue Cultivator 2705.
The cultivator stared at the flashes of lightning around them, and Heaven Calamity Stone where the lightning never stopped, before saying, ”Because he was using a metal pole, and Gu Shaoyi was defeated by one.”
”That’s right, Rogue Cultivator 2705 indeed uses a metal pole.” Hearing this cultivator’s explanation, everyone immediately felt that this made perfect sense.
Someone continued, ”Gu Shaoyi never recovered after his defeat by Rogue Cultivator 2705. If he finds out that even Li Xiuran has been killed by Rogue Cultivator 2705, it would probably be a piece of comforting news. Who knows, he may even revert back to his original genius state.”
”Ha ha, a cultivator that can’t even accept a single defeat won’t amount to much even after recovering. The person that comes to mind is the Yan Clan’s Yan Yangnan though, who exclaimed that he regretted not being able to fight Rogue Cultivator 2705 when he obtained rank 1 on the Mortal Board. Once he finds out that Rogue Cultivator 2705 killed Li Xiuran, and had such a terrifying lightning tribulation, he would probably secretly celebrate that Rogue Cultivator 2705 never crossed paths with him.”
Even though the cultivator with the lowest cultivation level here was at the advanced Nihility God Stage, but rank 1 of the Mortal Board was still something they took note of.
…
Mo Wuji could not hear any of the discussions that happened on the outside, and before the fourth wave of lightning landed on him, he could feel a strong sense of impending danger, as the thick lightning bolts actually carried killing intent with them.
Before he could react, large swaths of lightning bolts had already struck him.
Even though Mo Wuji’s Revolving Star Passage Technique had already reached the Xing word’s first level, Dragon Rising Star Shift, the recently healed bones in his legs tore apart rapidly.
To his surprise, he could not feel the lightning essence within the lightning bolts, and only boundless killing intent from them flowed into his body. Even his meridians showed slight cracks. This riled him up. How was this some lightning tribulation, it was simply an attempt at his life.
All of the elemental energy stored in the three elemental storage channels were drawn out at this instant, forming elemental energy shields one after another, trying to block out the killing intent that was tearing his meridians apart.
Those lightning bolts seemed to possess a will of its own, and actually circumvented Mo Wuji’s elemental energy shields, continuing its assault on his meridians.
As Mo Wuji had 105 meridians, even if a few were torn, it would not cause his cultivation to drop by much. However, it was not easy to open all 105 of them, so how could he allow the lightning tribulation to destroy everything? He had never heard of lightning bolts from tribulations that specifically targeted meridians, so thankfully he still had a spirit storage channel.
The spiritual will in the spirit storage channel was mobilised, and the elemental energy shields came alive in all of the meridians, constantly blocking off the killing intent from the lightning bolts, not allowing a single meridians to be destroyed.
To Mo Wuji, he would rather have all of the bones in his body shattered and regrown, than to allow any damage to his meridians. For someone like him that did not have spiritual roots, the meridians in his body was his foundation.
