The lightning was filled with two completely opposite properties; everyone could clearly feel this sensation: it was a gift from the heavens, yet it also came with a trial. If one could withstand the trial, they would be rewarded with the gift.
Because within the lightning lay destruction, but it was also accompanied by immense vitality.
As long as one exerted their utmost effort to withstand a bolt of lightning, new vitality would immediately rise, instantly replenishing the losses suffered by the body. Only then would another bolt of lightning descend.
For anyone who had reached this realm, as long as they gave their all, they could definitely withstand the lightning.
With this understanding, everyone felt an overwhelming sense of joy.
"This divine gift from the heavens may only happen once in this lifetime. After receiving this lightning, essentially, we are no longer the same as the people of this world; thus, this vitality must be the Nine Heavens Pavilion's acknowledgment of our status. However, this acknowledgment should only happen once. If there is any further advancement, once we attract the lightning tribulation, it could mean life or death, far from being as easy as it is now."
The voice of Wuzhuo City rang out. His experience and knowledge made him the number one in the Nine Heavens; even the Law Sovereign or Ning Tianya and Bu Liqing could not compare to him in this regard. The conclusion he offered made sense and was likely the closest to the truth.
Everyone suddenly realized.
"One bolt of lightning is indeed a crisis of destruction, but it also presents an opportunity for advancement!" Wuzhuo City’s calm voice held a barely contained excitement: "So, everyone must seize this opportunity well. Once the lightning ends, our advancement will be completely consolidated... Any further advancements after that will be matters that occur after we reach the Nine Heavens Pavilion..."
Chu Yang, while doing his utmost to resist the lightning, added, "Additionally, everyone should be prepared. The battle outside is already raging fiercely. Once our advancement is over, what awaits us may very well be an immediate confrontation with the Law Sovereign. This is our last battle in the Nine Heavens, and we must do our best for our homeland!"
"Yes!" Everyone responded in unison.
At this moment, Xie Danqiong's voice unexpectedly sounded: "After this advancement, what level will our cultivation reach?"
This question caused everyone to exchange wry smiles.
Right now, how could they possibly know what level they were at?
After a moment of silence, Mo Tianji spoke up: "I'm afraid we will only know the details after reaching the Nine Heavens Pavilion, but... one thing is certain: our cultivation will definitely surpass the limits of the ninth rank supreme. There is no doubt about this; without breaking this limit, it seems we cannot reach the Nine Heavens Pavilion."
Upon hearing this, everyone burst into laughter, relieving the previously tense atmosphere.
The ninth rank supreme had once been a level that others could only look up to and could not even see—ethereal and elusive like a deity in the sky. But now, at this moment, it felt so casually surpassed.
Everything was due to one person!
Chu Yang.
Outside the city, the battle had resumed once more.
The new wave of conflict was still without any command.
The Law Sovereign reclined in a chair, watching coldly as the two armies clashed below, his expression indifferent. No one knew what he was truly thinking.
Gradually, a haze of demonic energy began to gather around him, seemingly emanating from the heads of any individual within the enforcement army.
Then, it gradually converged and returned to the Law Sovereign’s head before finally merging into his body.
This cycle continued; with each rotation, the smile at the corner of the Law Sovereign's mouth seemed to grow more pronounced.
Within the city, the sounds of slaughter gradually diminished.
Ye Chenchen had already dispatched all the elite members of the Ye Family to the battlefield, leaving no experts behind at the Ye Family residence. Faced with the sudden crippling blow from the enforcement officers, they could not muster any effective resistance and were completely annihilated.
