How could Mo Wuji be in the mood to care that he had just been dragged into disaster by that Three-eyed Dove? He wasn’t even in the mood to care about the incoming Black-furred Lion.
After he swallowed that fruit, the spiritual energy within it went rampage. He had to urgently release some of this spiritual energy. However, the energy seemed to be like a mad cow, running around his body in all directions. Mo Wuji exerted all his effort to draw these spiritual energy together, then directed them towards the Heavenly Immortal barrier.
”Boom!” In this single impact, the cultivation shackles on Mo Wuji started to tremble violently. At the same time, thunderclaps suddenly sounded in the sky. Thereafter, ten bolts of lightning as thick as a child’s arm descended down upon him.
The Black-furred Lion that was pouncing towards Mo Wuji was startled by this terrifying Lightning Calamity, as it hurriedly retreated. Even though its cultivation was equivalent to the advanced Heavenly Immortal Stage, it did not dare face this sort of Lightning Calamity. As a demonic beast, it was afraid to even touch this horrifying Lightning Calamity.
”Crackle! Crash!” These ten bolts of lightning slammed on Mo Wuji consecutively. All the skin on Mo Wuji’s body instantly exploded; his bones immediately cracked.
Mo Wuji’s heart was filled astonishment. He had always been able to absorb the essence within the lightning. However, this Lightning Tribulation was so swift and horrifying; before he could even absorb the lightning essence, he was already heavily injured. And this was just the first wave of lightning.
Cultivating to the Great Circle of Earthly Immortal, Mo Wuji had his fair share of Lightning Calamities. However, he had never experienced one like this; it was too fast, and its power was horrifyingly strong.
From afar, the Black-furred Lion observed Mo Wuji’s Lightning Calamity. It saw the ten horrifying bolts of lightning land on Mo Wuji’s body, exploding a huge mist of blood. However, the lightning bolts actually didn’t manage to strike that cultivator down. When the Black-furred Lion noticed this, its heart pounded rapidly. It carefully took steps backwards, and when it had retreated to a fixed distance away, it immediately turned and fled into the depths of Five Lotus Mountain.
In its eyes, Mo Wuji was not someone it could offend. It couldn’t even deal with the power of those lightning bolts; this was already enough to show that Mo Wuji was much stronger than it. The moment Mo Wuji moved towards it, it would be drawn into the Lightning Calamity. Moreover, the immortal spirit fruit had already been eaten, so why did it continue to stay here for?
As it thought of all these dangers, why would the Black-furred Lion dare to continue observe Mo Wuji’s tribulation?
”Crack!” A thin fracture appeared on the Heavenly Immortal shackles. Before Mo Wuji could start to heal his injuries, another ten bolts of lightning descended on him.
Mo Wuji was slightly more prepared compared to the first time; he threw ten lightning webs upwards. Even though the lightning webs weren’t able to block these lightning bolts, it eased the pressure on Mo Wuji. Just when he swallowed a few healing pills, the lightning bolts ripped through Mo Wuji’s lightning webs, and struck against his body.
Mo Wuji’s 107 meridians formed a huge circulation path, which continuously reverse circulated, drawing away wave after wave of lightning essence.
Even though this Lightning Calamity was like a crazy and powerful wave, because Mo Wuji continuously drew away the lightning essence, the damage on Mo Wuji’s body was not as much as during the first wave of lightning.
Before the lightning completely disappeared, another ten lightning bolts descended.
A much bigger fracture had appeared on the barrier to the Heavenly Immortal Stage. As the lightning bolts descended, Mo Wuji concentrated the lightning essence he just absorbed and sent it towards the Heavenly Immortal shackles.
”Crack!” Mo Wuji felt something breaking apart within is body. Huge amounts of force filled all his meridians. Mo Wuji’s meridians continuously widened; his sea of consciousness also expanded crazily. The violet elemental lake within his sea of consciousness was now a small ocean.
At this instant, Mo Wuji’s power was rising rapidly.
He had advanced into the Heavenly Immortal Stage. Mo Wuji did not even get to celebrate when the ten lightning bolts came towards him.
Mo Wuji no longer did the same as what he did previously, to absorb the lightning essence to weaken the lightning bolts. Instead, he punched out multiple times.
The shadows of his fists crashed against the lightning bolts; filling the sky with trails of lightning.
The leftover lightning bolts landed on Mo Wuji’s body. However, it helped Mo Wuji’s power to increase. Not only didn’t these lightning bolts worsen his injuries, it actually caused his injuries to heal slightly.
