The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 234
Chapter 234 Deng Jiu Chong Tian (4)
What appeared in front of Li Qing was another endless staircase to the heavens. It seemed that to ascend to the second level of the heavens, one still needed to go through a long test.
The stairs floated in the boundless darkness of the void, cold and lonely, with no end in sight, like a bridge connecting two worlds.
Li Qing did not hesitate too much and set foot on the journey again. Just when he thought that there would still be a difficult test on this flight of stairs, the result was unexpected. Walking on it, he did not feel any abnormalities.
“Could it really be that it’s just an ordinary staircase without any tests? This seems to be a little different from before!” Li Qing frowned.
When he first climbed the first flight of stairs, he had to go through many trials before he could successfully pass. However, this staircase in front of him seemed to be somewhat different from the previous one. It was just an ordinary staircase, and he didn’t feel anything unusual.
After continuing on for a while, there were indeed no tests, and the process was as calm as water. Li Qing finally relaxed. It seemed that only the first stage of the staircase would have a test. The main test was the threshold set by the Daofather to preach the world. There was no need to pay so much attention to the rest of the staircase.
Although there weren’t any tests, the process wasn’t that easy. The reason for that was because the stairs were too long, testing people’s patience. If a person’s mind was not firm, they would probably think that this staircase would never end.
The distance between the two Little Thousand Worlds was unfathomable. Even with the path to the heavens as a medium, it was impossible to ascend to the heavens step by step. It depended on people climbing up step by step.
Li Qing walked up the path to the heavens without encountering any dangers. The surroundings were pitch-black and filled with ice-cold loneliness.
Walking along this path, it was really too lonely. Fortunately, Li Qing was a person who could endure loneliness.
After an unknown amount of time, a door of light finally appeared in front of him.
“We’re here!” Li Qing’s spirits lifted, and he quickly walked forward and stepped into the light door.
…
After entering the light door, a distorted feeling came from the space. His vision instantly blurred, and then gradually became clear.
A world of purple lightning appeared in front of him. Other than lightning, there was nothing else. Wherever it entered his eyes, the surroundings were densely packed with thunder and lightning. It was extremely frightening.
As soon as Li Qinggang stepped into this world of thunder, it was as if a drop of water had fallen into the oil. Suddenly, it boiled. The thunder and lightning in the entire world instantly rioted, and thousands of thunder roared in unison. Lightning flashed.
The entire world was illuminated by lightning, and only a white light could be seen in his eyes. It was a vast expanse of white, and his voice was earth-shattering.
This instantly startled Li Qing. His eyes were almost blinded by endless lightning and his ears rumbled. It took him a long time to recover. Fortunately, these lightning bolts only rioted in the sky and did not attack him, so they were completely unharmed.
He stood there and didn’t dare to move. He muttered to himself, “Is this giving me the power to dismount? What a terrifying thunder! This world should have been created by an expert who controlled the path of thunder and lightning.”
Just as he was staring blankly at the sky, his eyes suddenly turned white. Then, he saw a purple lightning that was as big as a bucket instantly hacking down from the sky, directly hitting Li Qing’s body.
“Ah–”
Li Qing let out a miserable scream. When the lightning dissipated, he saw that his entire body was charred black and his body was emitting smoke. His hair exploded, as if it had been roasted.
Before he could react, he was struck. The speed of thunder and lightning was simply too fast. If one wanted to dodge them, they could only rely on luck.
“No, the speed of lightning is too fast. Perhaps we can dodge it by luck once or twice, but it won’t work if we do it more than once. How do I get through this world of lightning next?”
Li Qing couldn’t help but shiver when he saw that the depths of the lightning world were densely packed with all sorts of terrifying divine lightning. Amongst these, he actually saw a Purple Firmament Divine Lightning!
“It’s actually Purple Firmament Divine Lightning! This is going to be troublesome!”
If it was really the Purple Firmament Divine Lightning, perhaps it only needed a single divine lightning to kill Li Qing. This type of lightning was too terrifying, too high-level, simply not something he could withstand at his current realm.
“These high-end divine lightning bolts shouldn’t be attacking me, right? With my Xiantian realm cultivation, there’s no way there will be dangers beyond my realm in the test.” He was a little uncertain in his heart. Who knew what would happen? If something unexpected happened, it would be bad.
He had just been struck by lightning, and his body had suffered some injuries. His skin had basically been charred by electricity, and he needed to be treated. Therefore, he stopped at the same spot and did not immediately move forward. He intended to rest for a while before speaking.
However, he was a little too optimistic. Even if he stood still, Lightning would not let him off. A quarter of an hour later, another huge lightning bolt the size of a bucket struck down, scorching Li Qing’s entire body black and tender.
“I just recovered from my injuries, but I was struck by lightning again! Are you mistaken?” Li Qing spat out a stream of smoke, and his hair was almost burnt out.
He circulated the Ten Thousand Devil True Body and quickly recovered from his injuries. In the end, another fifteen minutes later, another bolt of lightning struck down punctually.
“How dare you! How dare you be so punctual!” Li Qing cursed hatefully. “It seems that even if I stay where I am, I will still be killed by lightning. I simply don’t have enough time to heal my injuries. I can only continue forward. Fortunately, I have cultivated the Myriad Demon True Body and my injuries are recovering quickly. This lightning can’t do much damage to me.”
Li Qing recovered from his injuries and didn’t dare to stay where he was anymore. Afraid of being struck by lightning, he could only continue walking forward.
After walking for a while, he walked less than a hundred meters away. Suddenly, lightning flashed in the sky again. His eyes turned white. Li Qing knew that the situation was not good, and lightning struck down again!
He didn’t even think about it and reacted very quickly. He immediately moved his body to the side and successfully dodged this divine lightning. However, before he could be happy, another bolt of lightning struck down right in front of him.
This time, two bolts of lightning struck down at the same time! Although he had reacted to a divine lightning bolt and narrowly avoided it, he had not dodged the second bolt.
Just like the result before, Li Qing was sliced to the point of being scorched and tender, and his entire body was pitch black. He looked extremely miserable.
“The number of thunder and lightning has increased by one. Could it be that the further you go, the more thunder and lightning there will be?” Li Qing guessed in his heart as he thought about this while healing his wounds.
He stood there and waited silently. After about fifteen minutes, another two bolts of lightning struck down. Li Qing did not dodge in time and endured them all.
‘”Ah—————————– This kind of feeling was really uncomfortable. His entire body was numb, his body was charred black, and the smell of roasted meat floated out.
Originally, one bolt of lightning was already uncomfortable, but this time, it was two bolts of lightning. He felt that his injuries had worsened a little. However, it could be inferred from this that there were only two bolts of lightning in this area, and the interval between them was about fifteen minutes.
“Hurry up and recover. Otherwise, the injuries will get worse and worse, and the situation will not be good!” A sense of urgency arose in Li Qing’s heart.
The lightning wouldn’t stop, and it was extremely difficult to dodge. He could only rely on his own body to recover quickly, trying his best to maintain a healthy state and fully recover before the next wave of lightning arrived.
Otherwise, if such injuries accumulated bit by bit, the situation would definitely get worse and worse.
Fortunately, he had many trump cards. If he really had ten thousand years of spirit milk before he could reach the end of his life, then he wouldn’t need to be afraid of any serious injuries if he had such a treasure.
He took out a spirit stone and quickly absorbed the spirit energy inside. Although the Myriad Demon True Body was extremely powerful and recovered quickly, it also consumed a lot of energy. Therefore, it needed spirit stones to replenish itself.
In order to confirm the speculation in his heart, he quickly recovered from his injuries and continued to walk forward.
After walking for more than a hundred meters, lightning once again flashed in the sky. This time, the number of lightning bolts descended was actually … three bolts of lightning!
The further he went, the greater the number! His guess was correct! The test of this world should be to endure the lightning that descended from the sky continuously. The amount of lightning that descended from the sky would increase, and if one could endure it, they would be able to pass.
“Boom!”
These three bolts of lightning descended at the same time. Before they could dodge, they all struck Li Qing’s body, causing his mind to go blurry and his entire body to be charred black.
Under such a terrifying attack, his injuries became even more severe. He spat out a mouthful of blood, and his aura was somewhat dispirited.
He immediately took out spirit stones to absorb the spiritual energy and circulated the Ten Thousand Devil True Body. The purple light flowed for a while, and his injuries quickly recovered.
He took a long breath. Three bolts of lightning could cause such damage to him. He didn’t know where the limit was. This was the first time he felt powerless. He didn’t know if he could pass.
Just as he was sighing, he suddenly noticed that his body seemed to be in an abnormal state. He silently sensed it for a while, as if his strength had increased a little!
“Strength has increased?”
He couldn’t help but wave his fist, feeling that his strength had indeed increased a little! Threads of lightning flashed on his body. This was actually absorbing the power of lightning to transform his body!
Thinking of this, his face couldn’t help but reveal a trace of joy, “So this lightning is still used to temper my body. My strength has unknowingly increased a little. Although the range isn’t big, it is still a good harvest. The previous lightning bolts should also have this effect, but the increase in strength is too small, so I didn’t notice it.”
