Ye Futian went up step by step, and the seal planted in his body became stronger and stronger. Endless divine lightning from the Divine Mountain covered the boundless space with his body as the center.
Every single bolt of heavenly lightning was earth-shattering. Every part of his body was undergoing a baptism of lightning. Even the ancient tree was flowing with endless lightning, but at the same time, it was also devouring the power of lightning.
"Is this the Source Power of the Great Path?" Ye Futian peeked into his body and thought. When the Deed of Thorough Comprehension was released, his body was a furnace to refine the divine lightning of heaven and earth, making it compatible with the lightning will planted in his Life Spirit.
That was the purpose of the Eight Divine Mountains' existence. They directly imparted the way with heavenly lightning, allowing others to transform and develop the will of Infernal Thunder of Wutu. Those with talent in this element could then cultivate under the Emperor of the Purple Underground.
Only the top forces in the Supreme Realm could impart the way with heavenly lightning.
Such an opportunity was hard to imagine in the Lower Worlds.
Ye Futian's body's ability to evolve was already very strong. With the World Tree Life Spirit and the Deed of Thorough Comprehension, he quickly became compatible with it. The lightning flowing in his body was gradually refined, and it contained the will of Infernal Thunder of Wutu.
In this way, he could withstand more of the might of the lightning of the Great Path because of the compatibility.
Otherwise, no one could withstand more than a hundred bolts of heavenly lightning alone.
As Ye Futian went up, he passed more and more people. There were only three people above him.
Lu You, the descendant of the Sword Emperor of Shocking Clouds; the thunder bird, the descendant of the Demon Emperor; and Zhu Qi, the daughter of the Bamboo Emperor.
The Divine Bird of Thunder was still devouring the Heavenly Thunder of the Great Path. The lightning all over its body flooded the sky, radiating across a vast area. Its eyes were extremely sharp as they swept across the sky at Lu You, leaving him and Zhu Qi far behind.
Now, even though he was a Divine Bird of Thunder, he still felt extremely pressured.
Zhu Qi was the same. Her body was like a phantom, moving extremely fast. But when the heavenly lightning struck, it would stop her in her tracks.
Behind them, Ye Futian walked up step by step. His steps were steady as he followed them, heading towards the peak of Wutu Divine Mountain.
The millstone thundercloud above their heads rolled, giving off a heavy feeling of doomsday.
"Bang." A dull sound was heard. On the Divine Mountain, countless people looked up and saw a figure holding a divine sword, walking towards the peak step by step. It was Lu You.
"So fast."
Many shuddered. Lu You was about to reach the top.
Just as everyone had guessed, Lu You was indeed the first to reach the top of the Divine Mountain. The descendant of the Sword Emperor of Startling Clouds was able to summon lightning with his sword, and his thunder methods were astonishing. He was incredibly powerful.
From the top of the mountain, that silhouette was like a Sword God, with his back facing the people below, walking up step by step.
"Boom!" Another bolt of lightning struck down. His sword was suspended above his head, and the lightning struck the sword directly. Then, it was refined by the sword bit by bit. It flowed down along the sword and flowed into his body bit by bit.
He raised his head to look at the sky, lifted his feet, and continued to walk upwards. Sword Qi filled the sky, and endless lightning flashed on his sword. It was truly a magnificent sight.
"As expected of the foremost descendant of the Sword Emperor of Startling Clouds. Lu You will most likely become a disciple of the Emperor of the Purple Underground," someone thought to himself. Seeing the peerless silhouette under the thunderclouds, many felt inferior.
It was not that he was belittling himself, but in terms of strength, he was indeed inferior.
The ones who could fight for it were probably the few people below him.
"We've reached the peak."
At that moment, Lu You took a step forward and reached the peak.
Below him, the Divine Bird of Thunder flashed and moved, swallowing and spitting bolts of lightning. Zhu Qi turned into a phantom and moved up at the same time. The many bodies of lightning eventually merged into one. She walked on the Heavenly Thunder, looking incredibly beautiful, like a goddess.
Behind them, Ye Futian was still walking forward steadily. He was not far from the peak of the mountain.
More lightning struck, but it was unable to shake Lu You. He refined the Heavenly Thunder and looked up at the sky.
Back then, there was someone who inherited 900 Ways of Heaven and became the personal disciple of the Emperor of the Purple Underground. He was worshipped by countless people and was known as the next Infernal Thunder of Wutu, who would inherit one of the Nine Thunders of the Violet Heavenly Palace.
However, Lu You did not think so.
Cultivation was all about the order of things. What that person was able to do back then, he was able to do today.
No one was able to compete with him.
None of the people below could do so.
At the center of the millstone thunderclouds, four bolts of Heavenly Thunder fell from the sky. Lu You waved his right hand in an extremely elegant manner. In an instant, the sword suspended above his head turned into four swords, appearing in four directions and blocking the Heavenly Thunder of the Great Law.
"Boom!" The Heavenly Thunder struck the swords, but it also struck Lu You. His robes billowed, and the lightning shone brilliantly. His robe billowed.
The might of the thunder on the four swords flowed towards his body at the same time. His spirit was truly unparalleled.
"Lu You, he blocked the Heavenly Thunder and devoured the Way of Thunder of others." Many people looked shocked. Lu You was so confident in his own powers that it was as if he was going to withstand the Heavenly Thunder all by himself. He was the only one, and no one could compare to him.
"Stop, all of you." Lu You looked down and said, "Today is the opening of the Divine Mountain, and I intend to break the record and inherit 1,000 Ways of Heaven Thunder. You will all train where you are. There will be no problem for you to train at the Purple Underground."
He knew that everyone wanted to climb to the top of the Divine Mountain, stand at its peak, be baptized by the Heavenly Thunder, and be worshipped by the world.
However, there could only be one person at the top of the Divine Mountain. Otherwise, it would not have been so perfect.
He did not see anyone who came to the Divine Mountain as an opponent. His opponent was the one outside. However, they were fighting across time and space, and they were not of the same generation.
"Arrogant." The Divine Bird of Thunder spoke in a human voice and said, "I want to try as well. Climb to the top of the Divine Mountain and bear 1,000 Ways of Heaven Thunder. Why don't you come down?"
He continued to move upwards as soon as he finished. The Divine Bird of Thunder's huge body burst with lightning.
Lu You glanced at him plainly and said nothing. He pointed at the sword that was hanging in the sky.
The sword hummed and howled under the Heavenly Thunder.
Boom, boom, boom … Bolts of Heavenly Thunder fell, as if guided by the sword. The sword guided the Heavenly Thunder of the Great Path. All the Will of Thunder in the boundless area of the Divine Mountain flowed towards the sword in a frenzy. Tens of thousands of lightning flashes of the sword shone between heaven and earth, creating a terrifying scene.
"One sword, Thunder Clouds of the Ninth Heaven." Lu You, the son of the Sword Emperor of Shocking Clouds, uttered. His voice was extremely overbearing and sharp.
The Thunder Clouds of the Ninth Heaven indeed moved when the sword was unleashed.
The sword fell from the sky, and the Thunder Clouds of the Ninth Heaven moved with the sword, piercing through heaven and earth and streaking through the air, heading straight for the Divine Bird of Thunder in an instant.
The Divine Bird of Thunder let out a deafening cry. Its body, which had transformed into its true form, was extremely huge. That huge body gathered boundless Will of the Great Path of Thunder. It opened its mouth and spat out lightning. The boundless Will of Thunder that it had devoured before turned into 81 beams of lightning, shattering the air and killing everything in its path.
The attacks of the two clashed on the Divine Mountain. The blinding light made it hard for many to keep their eyes open.
The 81 beams of lightning seemed to have turned into 81 Divine Birds of Thunder, roaring in the air. However, there was only one sword from the other.
When that sword was born, the Clouds of the Ninth Heaven moved, tearing apart his opponent's attacks in a frenzy. It kept moving forward, heading straight for the Divine Bird of Thunder.
The Divine Bird of Thunder let out a shrill cry. Its huge body shot out, and its huge wings flashed with terrifying lightning, sharper than blades. The lightning lashed out at the figure at the top of the Divine Mountain.
Lu You snorted coldly and pointed at the sky. Nine swords were unleashed, and their power was nine times greater than before.
Nine beams of divine light rained down, tearing through his opponent's attack and tearing through the sky, heading straight for the Divine Bird of Thunder.
"Bang." The Divine Bird of Thunder's huge body was pierced by the Will of the Swords with a loud rumble. Blood sprayed from its body as it slammed into the mountain wall. Its huge, sharp eyes looked at the swords in the sky and saw the nine swords streaking across the sky. It did not go for the Divine Bird of Thunder. Otherwise, it would have suffered even more.
"Thank you." The Divine Bird of Thunder spoke like a human. While it was wounded by its opponent, it still thanked him for showing mercy. Since it lost, it had no choice but to accept it.
Lu You's name was known throughout the region, and he was indeed very powerful.
"What about you two?" Lu You looked at those who were still making their way up and asked. The ones closest to the peak were the Bamboo Emperor's daughter, Zhu Qi, and Ye Futian. As such, it could have been said that Lu You was talking to the two of them.
Zhu Qi looked at Lu You in the sky. While she was extremely confident in her own powers, that swordsmanship just now still made her feel that it would have been difficult for her to win. If Lu You were to come at her with such a sword, how would she have been able to withstand it?
Even if she had been able to withstand it, she would still have been injured.
Lu You was the absolute king here. He had used his sword to attract the Heavenly Thunder.
"Let's see how many bolts of Heavenly Thunder you can withstand," Zhu Qi said. It was apparent that she had given up as well. She then decided to train where she was.
Lu You nodded slightly at her. Next, the world would bear witness to how he would withstand the Heavenly Thunder of the Great Law and break the record.
A thousand bolts of Heavenly Thunder was his goal.
"So powerful."
"How invincible."
Many who had climbed the Divine Mountain exclaimed. The Divine Bird of Thunder had been defeated, and Zhu Qi had given up of her own accord. Before this, they were all equally famous figures, and they were all very popular. But now, the difference between them was obvious.
Lu You was far ahead, and no one could have shaken him.
Next, everyone just had to wait and see how many bolts of Heavenly Thunder Lu You could withstand, and whether or not he could break the record of that genius.
Lu You's expression was calm, and he prepared to withstand the Great Law of Thunder. However, when he looked away, he found that there was still someone who was making his way up, and he could not help but frown.
He had made it very clear, and he had shown mercy. Why was there still someone who did not know what was good for them?
