Ace Of Terrans

Chapter 696 Test Of The King.

He could not suppress his cultivation without facing a strong backlash. So, he decided to unveil the pressure of a peak Immortal Lord realm cultivator, and that\'s why the tribulation was upon him.

Emperor Hell Flame waved his hand, and the strong spiritual pull dragged everyone to the side. He said, "Let us move. The tribulation of a king is not restrained like the others."

Bo Qingtan asked, "Senior, what are his chances? He will be alright, right?"

The old man shook his head and, gazing at the sky, said, "The king\'s tribulation tests a person\'s primordial soul and the comprehension of the dao rules. Half the people die during the third lightning strike. That is when the tribulation is a normal blue one. Look at the sky. The lightning is red."

The people understood that the old man was not optimistic about Shi Lang surviving the tribulation. Yun Xue shivered, and Bo Qingtan patted her shoulder as he said, "Do not worry, he will be fine."

The old man said, "We shall leave him to handle this. Let\'s get away first."

...

The crowd moved away, and Shi Lang used his spiritual communicator to send a message to three people. First, he sent the message to Hao Mei, and second, to Yang Niao, telling them that he would soon face the tribulation of an Immortal King.

The last message was written to Amelia. He wrote, "I wanted to wait a bit longer before I faced the tribulation for an Immortal King. I wanted to meet you before it, but something unexpected happened, and the trouble is here. Unlike all times, this time, I am somewhat nervous. I do not know why, probably because this was not on my planner list. Well, know this: I will try my best, and I love you."

Shi Lang was not exaggerating. The tribulation did not need him to be prepared physically but also mentally. More than the rest, this particular tribulation would inspect his primordial soul and its understanding of the dao rules. If he were not mentally prepared, the result would be death.

The terran has never feared death. He feared having regrets when he died. At this moment, the person he truly loved had come to the immortal plain following him, but he had yet to see her.

The clouds rumbled, and Shi Lang shook away the disturbing thoughts. He removed his communicator and threw it to Bo Qingtan in the distance. Strength worked wonders. Shi Lang said, "Hold it for me, Brother Bo."

The latter nodded as he caught the spirit communicator. He looked at the device, thinking what it could be, when a streak of red flashed in the surroundings.

BANG!!

The people saw a lightning streak land on Shi Lang\'s forehead. The terran was thrown off his feet and flung like a rag doll on the ground.

The terran lay on the dirt without any movement. The people gasped and thought Shi Lang was done for. Even Yun Xue clenched her fists. Emperor Hell Flame shivered at this moment and remarked, "What a terrifying young man."

Xing asked, "Senior, what do you mean?"

The old man replied, "He bore the full impact of a red lightning strike on his physical body alone. Look at the ground where the lightning struck. It is covered with charred cracks and look at his body. He is completely fine."

The people turned their gazes at Shi Lang, and as the old man said, "The terran was lying on the ground, but except for some dirt, his body was clean. He was not injured. As they were wondering how strong Shi Lang was, another streak of red fell at him.

The terran flipped over on the ground and revealed his Dao Weapon, the spear condensed of the lightning element.

The lightning bolt hit the blue spear shaft, and Shi Lang struggled to defend himself. An impression of his body was formed on the ground below him. The strength of this lightning strike was twice more than the first one. The terran channeled his spiritual energy inside the spear to fend off the attack.

He did not take the initiative to attack the lightning strike because that would make the heavens even more pissed at him. He was not a fool out of some novel. The terran grunted as he bore the burden of the strike.

However, soon, his grunt turned into a roar. The void was filled with visible shockwaves. He was mad. The impact of the strike made him realize that if he kept holding back, the result would be death.

He did not wish to die so soon. The terran roared and began to push against the lightning bold. Soon, he was standing on his feet, his eyes staring at the clouds in defiance. His veins popped from the strong force his body produced.

Shi Lang roared one more time, and the lightning bolt vanished. The terran took a few deep breaths as he panted. The heavens did not seem to be in a hurry. He raised his head and found that the lightning was swarming over his head, and it would strike after some accumulation.

The terran caught his breath while refining spiritual energy around his body, and he summoned his second weapon out of his dantian. The sword appeared in his hand, and his aura rose by one more point.

The people around him were shocked, and Xing asked in disbelief, "He still had more to give? Does that mean he was holding back when fighting Zephyr?"

Emperor Hell Flame nodded and said, "I have heard of people who condensed double dao armaments, but this is the first time I\'ve watched one. His aura matches that of Inferior Immortal Kings. Such a pity."

Yun Xue asked, "Senior, what do you mean by that."

She wanted to know why the old man said it was a pity for Shi Lang\'s aura to be matching with an Inferior Immortal King.

The old man gazed at her and said, "He is too young, and it has not been long since he perfected his lord\'s armor. If he had slightly more time to face the tribulation, then I am sure he would have condensed a supreme Immortal King crown, but now I think he should still be in the Mediocre grade. It is a pity. He is so talented."

Yun Xue nodded in understanding. She said, "Is it because of the battle that he had to face this tribulation now?"

The old man did not say anything, but the expression on his face said it all. Yun Xue felt downhearted. She looked down at her feet, and suddenly, Shi Lang\'s voice echoed in the surroundings.

"You dare to look down on me? Do you think this pathetic display of your strength will defeat me? Come at me, god damn it!!! Come, and I will show you how I defy you!"

The people were shocked, raised their heads to look at the sky, and found that the lightning changed colors. Followed by this, a deafening thunder echoed in their minds. They all covered their ears, and even Emperor Hell Flame revealed a shocked and frightful expression for a second.

Xing asked, "What is he doing?"

Looking at Shi Lang without blinking, Emperor Hell Flame said, "He challenged the Heavenly Tribulation."

The mercenaries all turned to look at the old man with their eyes wide in surprise. Then, a golden-red lightning streak fell from the skies. It looked like a snake was baring its fangs as it launched against prey. Time slowed down as everyone watched Shi Lang jump off the ground and slash his sword at the lightning bolt.

The slash was so strong that it split apart the void like a blade moving through a silk curtain. Shi Lang yelled, "Shura slashes the heavens."

The lightning streak and the slash collided, and sparks flew around. It was as if a rain of fire. The sparks landed on the ground and scorched it dead. The ground trembled, and the air evaporated around Shi Lang.

Emperor Hell Flame was shocked, but the shock did not last for long. He turned his head to look behind him and found Tian Long and Fairy Moon Jade walking out of a void tunnel. He got flustered and bowed his head in greeting. The rest of the youngsters were shocked when they heard the old man saying, "Greetings, Your Excellencies."

Fairy Moon Jade smiled and said, "Elder Hell Flame raise your head. We are not in the camp."

Tian Long did not comment and walked ahead to watch the tribulation from the edge. He commented, "Oh, this guy still has some talent."

Fairy Moon Jade rebuked him, "Long, you better not act too high, or I will tell everyone what level your tribulation was."

Tian Long\'s face turned black as he gazed at his dao companion and asked, "Why do you always favor him?"

The lady replied, "You know in your heart. Now do not bother me. If any old foxes tried to make a move, you better hold them back."

The people were stunned by their conversation. They did not expect them to value Shi Lang so much that they would appear in person to protect him. Yun Xue looked at the visage of the Sovereign and found that she lacked in terms of appearance and another seed of doubt bud in her heart.

Fairy Moon Jade sensed this and said, "Do not worry. He is like my younger brother. Also, we can easily deal with your problem after his tribulation. Think of it as a gift from me."

Yun Xue was shocked; she had not expected the lady to be so generous to her, no to Shi Lang.

...

Inside the Qiling City Palace, Hao Mei was preparing a cauldron of pills when she received Shi Lang\'s message and put things on hold. She knew she could not do anything about the situation and began praying.

While in the war maiden sect, Amelia was walking in her residence with a nervous expression on her face. Yu Ying sat beside her, but she could not say anything. After all, the tribulation was not under her control, and she could not relate to Amelia\'s panic.

...

A few old people in the big families sensed something, and they all raised their gazes to look in the direction where Shi Lang was facing his tribulation. Their eyes flashed, but soon they returned to normal. One such old man was the owner of a private force. His attendant sensed his movements and asked, "Master, what is it?"

The old man said, "Tell Xiao Long not to make enemies of the young talent in the Centurion Tournament. If he did, I will disown him and personally take his head off his shoulders."

The attendant was shocked, and wanted to ask more when the Old Man said, "The providence of a heaven-defying entity has been awakened. If he does not wish to bring an end to our entire force, he must watch his conduct. Or I will lock him in the depths of the cold pit. Do you understand?"

The attendant nodded and left the place quickly to inform the named person. He has never seen his master talking so rashly but he could tell that the old man was uneased about something and it was not wrong to say that the old man revealed some fear concealed in his eyes.

...

Shi Lang did not know that his tribulation sent waves inside the hearts of some old monsters. He finished dealing with the third bolt of lightning, and landed on the ground with a thud, waiting for the fourth lightning bolt.
