Chapter 717

"He blocked it!"

On the ground, Ji Yuanfeng and the others were all greatly relieved to see that.

Apart from Ji Yuanfeng and the Deputy Chief, nobody else found it hard to resist such a powerful and appalling Lightning Test.

Some of the Ocean State Legends were even more bitter. They would've been vaporized instantly if they were in the Heavenly Tribulation's place!

Only a monster like Su Ping could've summoned such a horrifying Heavenly Test and endured it!

Boom ~!

The dark clouds above Su Ping's head were still surging after the first pillar of lightning passed; the second one was ready!

Su Ping raised his head and stared at the clouds with burning eyes.

He had gone through more than a hundred Lightning Tests in the Demigod Burial. Even though he had been taking advantage of other people's, he was no stranger to Lightning Tests. Having just endured one, he found that his Lightning Test was much more powerful than the ones he had just taken advantage of!

But … it was still within his tolerance range!

The intimidating Lightning Test just now was enough to make even Void State warriors feel pressured, but it only made him feel slightly numb when it hit him!

His body was already as strong as a Fate State beast king's when he reached the second level of the Solar Bulwark. Void State attacks couldn't hurt him at all.

"Come on!"

Su Ping opened his hands and shouted.

Scorching golden light burst out of his body, ready to endure the attack.

At this moment, he stood majestically in the void. His entire body was shining with golden light, like a god of the present age. He seemed insufferably arrogant!

It was dark inside the defense lines. Many people who were taking refuge looked up at the only golden light that had caught the world's attention!

Some of the wild beasts that were running amok in the base cities paused as soon as the lightning bolts appeared. The area covered by the lightning bolts was filled with danger. The wild beasts felt the majesty of the heavens; they didn't dare to act rashly. Some of the more cowardly ones even crouched on the ground.

Since ancient times, all living creatures had been afraid of lightning.

Not to mention the dark and gloomy Heavenly Tribulation Thunderclouds that seemed to be sticking to the ground.

Boom ~ ~!

As if to respond to Su Ping, the Lightning Test clouds surged even more violently. Another bolt of lightning was shot out. This time, the bolt of lightning wasn't as vast as the previous one, but it was as swift as a snake. It hit Su Ping in the blink of an eye.

The bolt of lightning enveloped Su Ping's body.

Surrounded by the lightning, Su Ping's silver hair danced in the wind. When he opened and closed his eyes, there was a golden glow. He felt the pain in his chest; it wasn't intense, but it made his blood boil.

Lightning Test …

Su Ping sensed that there was a strange power contained in the exploding Lightning Test clouds.

There seemed to be a law inside, but it seemed to be above the law.

He had freeloaded more than a hundred times in the Demigod Burial, but this time, he had experienced it the most. The small pieces of knowledge he had grasped while freeloading surged into his mind.

Epiphanies didn't happen out of thin air. It was an eruption of accumulation!

Surrounded by the exploding lightning, Su Ping felt the intense energy. His mind was drawn into that mysterious state of comprehension.

Tribulation …

Thunder …

Boom ~ ~!

Su Ping stood in the air with his eyes closed. Above his head, the dark clouds were rolling and roaring like dragons. More bolts of lightning were shot out from the clouds. Each bolt of lightning seemed to be able to destroy the world; the sky and the earth were as bright as day!

Within the defense lines, no matter how far away they were, the flashing bolts of lightning could be seen, lighting up the world!

The bolts of lightning were condensed in the air, hacking at a person. It was as if the heavens were fighting against humans!

This scene was extremely impactful, and countless people were shocked by what they saw.

Boom!

Boom!

The golden aura around Su Ping was glowing brighter and brighter. His body was like a piece of golden glass. The bolts of lightning that kept striking at him were not able to extinguish his divine energy. Instead, his skin was becoming more and more translucent; it was glowing like a piece of artifact!

Behind Su Ping, a scorching golden image appeared. It was a Golden Raven spreading its wings!

An ancient and boundless aura spread out from Su Ping's body. After reaching the second level of the Solar Bulwark, Su Ping had basically inherited the Golden Raven's bloodline. He was essentially a young Golden Raven!

The Golden Raven, on the other hand, was a primordial deity. The unique aura of a deity was blown out of Su Ping's body and spread across the sky.

"Is … Is he really a human being?"

"I think he's a super divine beast!"

Ji Yuanfeng, Xue Yunzhen and the others were all appalled. Not only was Su Ping's aura not destroyed by the thunderclouds, it was even more powerful, as if it were about to tear the world apart!

Su Ping's aura alone was enough to terrify them and make them want to crawl on the ground!

That feeling was even more terrifying and awe-inspiring than when they saw the Lord of the Deep Caves!

"This guy …"

The Beast Kings that were approaching from all directions were all shocked. Some of them were even trembling, as if they were looking at a supreme being.

The Heavenly King of Good and Evil, the Heavenly King and the other Fate State wild beasts were all appalled and scared.

There was only one thought in their minds: they couldn't let the human pass the test anymore!

He would be horrifying if he passed the test successfully!

However, while that thought popped up in their heads, none of them dared to take action. They stood where they were, as if they had been imprisoned!

They didn't dare to attack Su Ping, who was releasing overwhelming pressure, nor were they willing to be involved in the terrifying test. They weren't confident that they could endure it like Su Ping did!

The power of the clouds had reached the level of the Fate State!

Even Ji Yuanfeng, the Deputy Chief, and the other Fate State beasts felt the pressure. The cloud would be infuriated if they were involved, and the pressure would be doubled!

Not far away, the Lord of the Deep Caves was trying its best to absorb the thousand-year astral power. It concealed its aura and didn't dare to spread out, fearing that the cloud would sense it and drag it in.

Its pupils contracted when it saw Su Ping, who was hovering above its head. Its expression changed when it saw the vague golden pattern on Su Ping's back.

"That's the aura of an ancient demon …"

It sensed the aura of an ancient demon from Su Ping!

It couldn't have been more familiar with the aura. It had evolved precisely because of the power of the ancient demons in its bloodline. It didn't expect that the human would have the same power!

Apart from the aura of the ancient demons, there was also an ancient, brilliant, and sacred aura that scared and repelled the Lord of the Deep Caves from the bottom of its heart.

I can't let him pass the test. I can't let him pass the test … The Lord of the Deep Caves thought. It didn't care much about Su Ping before. Even if he was a legendary warrior, so what? It was still a Star State expert. The gap of one major level was enough to crush Su Ping into ashes!

However, the ominous feeling in its heart grew stronger and stronger. It finally couldn't hold it back anymore and roared at the beast kings that were gathering on the ground, "Stop him!"

The roar echoed in the sky. All the beast kings that had been stunned by Su Ping's test came back to their senses. They all changed their expressions.

Ji Yuanfeng and the others were also stunned and infuriated. They immediately realized what the Lord of the Deep Caves meant. It wasn't doing anything, but it was asking the other beast kings to interfere with Su Ping's test. Even if the other beast kings were killed, the Heavenly Test would still be infuriated and Su Ping would have to die with it!

"Damn it!"

Ji Yuanfeng and the others burst out in fury, trying to stop the Lord of the Deep Caves.

The beast kings, on the other hand, looked at each other in bewilderment. None of them dared to attack.

"Go!!" The Lord of the Deep Caves was enraged to see that. It suddenly looked at one of the Void State Beast Kings and ordered it furiously.

The beast king shuddered, but it didn't dare to disobey the Lord of the Deep Caves' pressure. Soon, it flashed and charged at Su Ping, who was in the sky.

Ji Yuanfeng and the others changed their expressions and tried to stop it.

On the other side, the Fate State beasts also took action, but not to attack Su Ping, but to stop Ji Yuanfeng and the others.

Ji Yuanfeng and the others were anxious. The test was a matter of life and death, and it was easy to be disturbed by others.

Roar!!

Right at that moment, a deafening dragon roar was heard.

The Inferno Dragon that Su Ping had sent to assist Xie Jinshui in the Longjiang Base City flew out and let out a roar that shook the entire battlefield.

That roar had been inherited from a Star State dragon king; it was so intimidating that even some of the Fate State beasts were shocked and scared.

Even though their fear was quickly dispelled, they were still shocked.

After a boom, the Inferno Dragon charged forward with lightning and flames all over its body, crashing into the Void State beast king in the blink of an eye. Divine light burst out from the dragon's claws and tore the beast king apart, causing a rain of blood!

The Lord of the Deep Caves was shocked and infuriated. If they were to attack recklessly, their energy might reach Su Ping and they would be sucked into the clouds. However, Su Ping's battle pets weren't scared, because they shared the same aura due to the contract. Their attacks would be considered as Su Ping's, and they would have the right to resist the lightning without doubling its power.

"Go, kill all the Fate State beasts!"

"Blood Eye, go!!"

Roared the Lord of the Deep Caves.

Some of the Fate State beast kings in the Deep Caves changed their expressions. The pupils of the Thousand-eyed Demon Beast contracted and it trembled. It looked at the furious Lord of the Deep Caves with desperation in its eyes. It didn't expect that it would become cannon fodder before it had a chance to enjoy life with the Lord of the Deep Caves after hundreds of years of working for the Lord of the Deep Caves!

"Ahhhh …"

The Thousand-eyed Demon Beast charged forward with grief and fury, trying to kill Su Ping together with it!

The Inferno Dragon burned its astral powers, trying to stop the Thousand-eyed Demon Beast, but its combat ability was much lower than that of the Thousand-eyed Demon Beast. It was simply suppressed and unable to move.

After a boom, the violent blood-red rays darted at Su Ping.

Right at that moment, Su Ping opened his eyes. A dazzling and sharp light seemed to have pierced through the sky and the darkness, illuminating the world.

His expression was incomparably cold, without the slightest trace of emotion. It was like a pair of eyes that had seen countless life and death, and had seen the joys and sorrows of the human world. They contained a divine light as they looked down indifferently.

After a bang, a bolt of lightning surged out of his body and shattered the blood-red rays. Then, it turned into a lightning axe with a diameter of more than ten meters and slashed down from the sky!

After a boom, the space in the middle was broken. Even the secondary space inside was cracked, and the axe hit the Thousand-eyed Demon Beast.

The Thousand-eyed Demon Beast's eyes almost popped out. It couldn't believe that it couldn't block Su Ping's attack!

Impossible!!

The Thousand-eyed Demon Beast roared. Its blood and soul were burning, but halfway through its roar, its body was blown up by the lightning axe!

The scene was so shocking that the Fate State beast kings down below couldn't have been more astonished.

The Thousand-eyed Demon Beast wasn't weak; it was at the advanced stage of the Fate State, and yet, Su Ping had killed it so easily!

Boom ~!

The clouds above Su Ping's head, sensing the Thousand-eyed Demon Beast's attack, spun even more violently, preparing more violent lightning bolts.

Su Ping raised his head with a strange glow in his eyes. He was looking forward to it!

He still felt that the previous lightning bolts weren't powerful enough; he was looking forward to more intense lightning bolts that carried the aura of a "test".

"The Path of Lightning …"

Su Ping felt the intense lightning bolts around him. He closed his eyes and went back to his previous state of comprehension.

The Lord of the Deep Caves, on the other hand, was gloomy when Su Ping returned to his state of comprehension. Su Ping had made rapid progress in such a short period of time, which was comparable to years of hard work.

Looking at the increasingly violent lightning bolts, the Lord of the Deep Caves stopped ordering the other beast kings to attack.

A Fate State beast king had already taken action. The other Fate State beast kings would only be able to enrage the clouds to such an extent; they would only be committing suicide.

Unless the Lord of the Deep Caves took action in person, or if the Sea Empress took action.

However, the Lord of the Deep Caves realized that it hadn't found the Sea Empress. Otherwise, considering her combat ability, her shallow attacks with laws would've probably triggered the lightning bolts. The lightning bolts that contained the power of laws would've been ten times more lethal to Su Ping, and he would've been killed for sure!

The Lord of the Deep Caves could've done the same thing if it had taken action in person, but it might not be able to survive the lightning bolts in its current state!

Phew!

The Lord of the Deep Caves quickly absorbed the astral power that had been sealed for a thousand years to heal its wounds. It also prayed that Su Ping would be heavily wounded during the lightning bolts, so that it could easily kill him.

On the ground, the Fate State beast kings were all relieved to see that the Lord of the Deep Caves didn't command them anymore.

On the other hand, Ji Yuanfeng and the others were also relieved. They stopped and looked at Su Ping worriedly. The clouds above their heads were obviously more violent than before, and they wondered if Su Ping could resist them.

Boom ~!

In the blink of an eye, the violent lightning bolts fell from the sky again and bombarded Su Ping.

Su Ping didn't move at all; he withstood the lightning bolts with brute force.

After the first lightning bolt, the second one arrived instantly, not giving Su Ping any time to catch his breath.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Su Ping was like a piece of metal that was being hammered by a hammer in the sky.

All the wild beasts hoped that Su Ping would be struck down by the lightning bolts, but Su Ping's body only became more and more dazzling after each strike.

"That's horrifying."

"The power of each tribulation lightning strike is comparable to my all-out attack!"

"They're even getting stronger …"

Ji Yuanfeng couldn't have been more shocked. The lightning bolts that Su Ping was withstanding were so horrifying that even he couldn't have withstood more than three if he were in his peak state!

Su Ping, on the other hand, had withstood ten in a row!

Next to him, Ye Wuxiu, Xue Yunzhen and the others were already at a loss for words. They stared at Su Ping, hoping that he could hold on no matter what!

The Inferno Dragon hovered in the air next to Su Ping, like a guard. The Inferno Dragon kept its back to Su Ping and looked around at all the wild beasts, guarding against any sneak attacks.

Boom!

Boom! Boom!

In the dim, vast sky, the only sound that could be heard was the explosions of the lightning bolts.

The number of lightning bolts had far exceeded the usual number of legendary lightning strikes. Nobody knew when the lightning bolts would stop.
