At first, when Jiang Xiaobai saw the symbol, he was extremely careful, on high alert, ready to face any impending crisis.
But when he saw this tiny thunderbolt character coming down from the sky, his subconscious thought was, “Is that all?”
Yes, subconsciously he might think that, but Jiang Xiaobai is no fool.
Could this trump card, used by powerful beings in the Dividing the Gods Phase to save their lives, be that simple?
Immediately, he prepared himself, deploying all his force, body refining strength, Nine Revolutions Skill, and all the comprehension of the first heaven of the Nine-Day Stellar Sword Technique.
He chose to resist directly.
“Well then, let’s see how strong I really am now,” he thought as he charged forward.
At his side, the two guys were dumbstruck. They suddenly stopped running, forgot about their injuries, and stared at Jiang Xiaobai as he charged forward.
“Has this kid lost his mind?”
“I don’t know, but it’s good this way. Let the damn bolt finish him.”
“Yeah, it should be able to kill him. This is an unmatched god thunder talisman, comparable to a full strength attack from someone in the late Dividing the Gods Phase.”
“Indeed, he’s as good as dead.”
On the other side, AnRan was also dumbfounded. His boss was going insane.
“Boss, you’re crazy, run!” AnRan shouted subconsciously.
But Jiang Xiaobai didn’t have any other choice at this point. If he ran now, he’d undoubtedly die.
After sensing this peculiar atmosphere, Jiang Xiaobai had a vague idea in his mind, “This thunderbolt is not simple.”
The problem was, as he got closer to the thunderbolt, he didn’t feel much danger.
This made Jiang Xiaobai puzzled.
However, just as the thunderbolt was about to hit Jiang Xiaobai, he had goosebumps all over his body, and his eyes widened in terror.
This sudden premonition, it felt like death was near!
What the hell!
But the speed was too fast, and Jiang Xiaobai couldn’t evade. He knew he couldn’t let his guard down, so he forcefully mobilized all his power and put his best efforts into stimulating the Yuanhong.
“Damn it, I don’t believe this curse!” Jiang Xiaobai roared.
Then, crack!
He felt like he had exploded in mid-air, and his body was crippling with extreme pain. It felt as if all the bones in his body had shattered.
Thump!
He smashed fiercely into the ground, creating a huge crater.
Frantically, AnRan rushed over to check on Jiang Xiaobai and saw a charred figure with two big, white eyes staring blankly at the sky.
The charred figure was still emitting smoke.
“Puff…”
Spitting out a mouthful of black smoke, Jiang Xiaobai found himself struck with three profound questions.
Who am I?
Where am I?
What on earth was that thing?
“B… Boss, are you okay?” AnRan cautiously approached.
“I’m fine…”
Jiang Xiaobai’s voice was hoarse, extremely weak.
The impact just now was like a trip to the edges of death’s domain. The feeling of having thunder coursing through his body was extremely refreshing.
Thankfully, his physical body was powerful, and he was protected by the sword intent. In addition, Yuanhong also helped to block more than seventy percent of the power; otherwise, he would have been reduced to ashes.
Jiang Xiaobai knew the formidable power of thunder, but he had no real comprehension until now. He thought his strength should be able to withstand it.
Indeed, one of life’s three greatest delusions—I thought I could handle it.
After spitting out another mouthful of black smoke, Jiang Xiaobai managed to stuff a healing pill into his mouth, immediately feeling a comforting coolness throughout his body.
Without wasting any words, he forced himself to crawl out of the large pit, his eyes full of fury as he looked at the two men ahead. He saw that they had already run far away and were now just two tiny black dots.
“Damn it, I’ve never suffered such a huge loss since I started out!” Jiang Xiaobai roared at the sky.
“Son of a bitch, how dare you leave me in such a mess! You’ll all pay for it. When I find the right opportunity, I’ll kill you!”
Looking at his miserable state, Jiang Xiaobai was filled with resentment.
What made him act so recklessly?
Why did he have to resist that thunderbolt directly? If it weren’t for his extraordinary abilities, he would’ve died!
Jiang Xiaobai had to admit, this time he had truly overdone his feisty display.
And he had lost miserably.
At a great cost.
Meanwhile, the two powerhouses in the initial phase of Dividing the Gods, ran away as if they had seen a ghost. Their speed was unprecedented.
Only after fleeing for over a hundred miles, did they finally settle down on a mountain top to calm themselves.
“Terrifying, it’s absolutely terrifying. What is that kid made of? He survived even that?”
“This kid really has something fishy. There must be a powerful force supporting him from behind, otherwise, he can’t possibly have such strength!”
“Thank heavens my heart is strong. Otherwise, he could’ve scared me to death right then!”
Jokingly, both of them had thought that the thunderbolt could easily turn Jiang Xiaobai to ashes. At least, that’s what they’d thought, that Jiang Xiaobai would die without a doubt.
But Jiang Xiaobai had taken a full-blown thunderbolt attack, and he was just charred black and weakened. Wasn’t this like seeing a live ghost?
They had never seen nor heard of anyone in the early Transcendence Phase being this outrageously powerful.
“Should… Should we continue pursuing him?” asked the one who had his arm chopped off by Jiang Xiaobai.
“Let’s pursue… but we won’t be as reckless. This battle has made us realize our horrific predicament these past fifteen days,” exhaled the other one, with a hint of despair glimmering in his eyes.
“Actually, we still have a chance. There are various dangerous places in this Mad Demon Secret Land, which he might not be aware of. We can plan something around that.”
“Hmm, that’s a good idea, but let’s heal our wounds first…”
After a while of recuperation, Jiang Xiaobai finally recovered. He triggered his spiritual power to get rid of the charred debris on his skin, revealing his smooth, jade-like skin.
Jiang Xiaobai was surprised to discover that getting struck by the thunderbolt wasn’t a bad thing after all.
Did that thunderbolt actually have a body-tempering function?
He had also felt that, after thunder poured into his body and moved around his dantian (lower abdomen), his cultivation base had been forcibly stabilized indirectly.
With this, he could save the opportunity to forcibly stabilize his cultivation base for later use!
Not only that, but his Yuanhong had also received a boost. The thunderbolt had first hit the Yuanhong, which was what had saved Jiang Xiaobai’s life. Otherwise, he would’ve turned to ashes on the spot.
After all, that was a Sky Spirit treasure.
This thunderbolt had inadvertently broken some of the heaven and earth seals on Yuanhong!
Only a few, but it had brought Jiang Xiaobai one step closer to breaking one layer of the heaven and earth seal on Yuanhong!
“Well, isn’t this a case of good coming out of misfortune?”
Jiang Xiaobai felt immensely exhilarated, a sudden urge to go through it all over again surged within him.
“Ahem, I dare not, I dare not. It’s too scary, I definitely do not want to go through it again.”
Jiang Xiaobai hastily suppressed this thought. If it happened again, he didn’t want to endure such torment.
After recovering and changing into a new set of clothes, Jiang Xiaobai refreshed himself and looked at the map in his system.
As Xiao Yuwei had remained stationary since he had last checked.
