I sat paralyzed on the ground and looked at the dark clouds in the sky. Lightning slowly condensed into a silver snake … There was a third Heavenly Lightning!
At this moment, although I still had two divine talismans, the Square Sky Fan was destroyed and my Dao energy was exhausted. How could I have the strength to face the third Heavenly Lightning?
Ye Pianpian was also surrounded by seven people. She didn't have the strength to help … Did I have to wait for death?
I sat there in a daze. Just as I was about to die, Tong Tong, who had been standing by my side, suddenly ran in front of me. He didn't say anything and only pressed his hands together to form a complicated seal. Afterwards, his mouth rapidly moved, as though he was chanting a long incantation. However, no sound came out.
Seeing her move, I was shocked. Although Tong Tong had the power of a Ghost King, she was just a Yin soul. No matter how high her cultivation base was, she couldn't escape the fate of being restrained by Yang energy.
Moreover, this Heavenly Lightning was the strongest Yang energy in the world. Not to mention waiting for the Heavenly Lightning to strike her, even if she was affected by the residual power, she would be severely injured!
I hurried to shout at her, asking her to come back. However, Tong Tong, who had always been obedient, ignored me this time. She just stood there without moving. As she chanted the incantation, countless thin black threads suddenly emerged from her body like silk. After emerging from her body, they twisted and twined around her, forming a cocoon-like barrier around her.
At first, the cocoon-like barrier was just an outline with many holes in the middle. However, as more and more black threads appeared, the silkworm cocoon quickly thickened. After a few seconds, Tong Tong disappeared, leaving only a huge, dark silkworm cocoon.
Right at this moment, the rumbling thunder in the sky became denser. A silver lightning bolt dashed down, directly aiming at the black silkworm cocoon where Tong Tong was!
Yes, the Heavenly Lightning had given up on me and was heading for Tong Tong!
The Heavenly Thunder was an object of extreme Yang in the world. Yin and Yang mutually restrained each other, which was the truth of the world. The Death Scripture recorded that in ancient times, there were almighty figures who cultivated to the point of Yang Spirit Ascension. When they encountered the Heavenly Tribulation when they were about to ascend to heaven, the most common method to face the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation was to use an object of extreme Yin to draw the Heavenly Thunder.
Tong Tong obviously knew this, so she stood in front of me and tried to draw the Heavenly Lightning away … But this silly girl, no matter how strong her Heavenly Yin energy was, it was impossible for her to survive the Heavenly Lightning!
I couldn't just watch something happen to Tong Tong. I gritted my teeth and struggled to get up from the ground. I used the last bit of Taoist Qi in my body to try to pull her back.
At this moment, the lightning had already left the dark clouds and was heading towards us. Just as I was dashing forward with all my might, I heard the fatty's shout from behind me.
"Third Baby, don't go up. Come back, come back!"
I glanced out of the corner of my eye. The fatty shouted as he ran towards me.
To be honest, facing the power of the Heavenly Lightning, I also wanted to retreat, as far as possible. However, I couldn't give up on Tong Tong!
Although she was a ghost, ever since she had been with me, she had always been like a little sister to me. After so many years, I had long regarded her as my family.
When Lu Zhenyang killed my parents, I could only stand by and watch helplessly. At that time, I swore that I would never let such a thing happen in front of me again. But who would have thought that in just a few short months, misfortune would befall me again?
My parents had sacrificed themselves to protect me. I couldn't just watch Tong Tong do the same thing again.
Thus, I didn't care about the fatty's shout and used all my strength to charge towards Tong Tong's side... However, due to my heavy injuries, my speed was very slow. On the other hand, the speed of the Heavenly Lightning was extremely fast. As it descended from the sky, the distance of several thousand meters seemed to be covered in an instant!
My eyes were about to pop out of their sockets. I heavily hammered my chest, using the last bit of Dao Qi in my body to hit my chest. My heart suddenly trembled, and the blood from my heart was stimulated. In an instant, it circulated through my entire body, giving me an abundant amount of power. My speed suddenly increased. I dashed forward and finally reached Tong Tong's side. I pounced on her and hugged the enormous black cocoon.
Just as I hugged Tong Tong, the fatty behind me had already run close to us. However, he didn't rush towards us, instead, he abruptly stopped and stood about ten meters away from us. He placed both of his hands in front of his chest, his thumbs constantly trembling as he rapidly counted on the remaining fingers. After he stopped, he suddenly waved his right hand forward, throwing a few weak light spots next to Tong Tong and me.
I was really curious as to what the fatty had done, but I couldn't care about that as the Heavenly Lightning was already in front of us!
The last bit of Dao Qi in my body had been used up, and I had even overdrafted the power of my heart's blood. At this moment, I was like a lamp that had run out of oil. However, as I hugged Tong Tong, I also grabbed the jade bracelet.
The jade bracelet had a True Dragon Vein!
There was also the dark green energy that was covering the True Dragon Vein!
At this moment, facing the Heavenly Lightning, I couldn't care about hiding these secrets. After grabbing the jade bracelet, I used all my strength to absorb the dark green energy into my body. Then, I didn't care about controlling it, and directly sent the dark green energy in front of Tong Tong.
Just as the dark green energy blocked Tong Tong, the power of the Heavenly Lightning charged over. I originally thought that it would directly strike the dark green energy, but who knew that at this moment, outside the dark green energy, a barrier with a faint white light rose and blocked the Heavenly Lightning first.
However, this barrier with a faint white light obviously wasn't the Heavenly Lightning's opponent. After blocking it for a while, the Heavenly Lightning shattered the barrier. Although its power was weakened, it still had the power of the Heavenly Lightning.
At this moment, I finally realized that the Heavenly Lightning seemed to be getting stronger and stronger. Although the power of the first Heavenly Lightning didn't fully explode, it obviously couldn't compare to the power of the second Heavenly Lightning. As for the third Heavenly Lightning, even after being consumed by the barrier, its power was still similar to the second Heavenly Lightning.
After charging through the barrier, the Heavenly Lightning finally touched the dark green energy. However, what I didn't expect was that the thick layer of dark green energy was only able to block it for a moment before the Heavenly Lightning broke through!
At this moment, I was really regretful. The dark green energy was the same as Dao Qi. Pure energy didn't have much power, and it needed a spell to activate its power. It was like a piece of iron and a dagger. Although they were both made of the same weight, the power was completely different.
Until now, my body only had a weak wisp of dark green energy. Normally, when I used it, I would only use it as a support for Dao Qi. In that dangerous situation, I had forgotten this logic.
My face paled as I watched the heavenly lightning strike the black silkworm cocoon.
I closed my eyes. At this moment, I was hugging Tong's cocoon. After the power of the Heavenly Lightning exploded, Tong couldn't block it, and neither could I.
We're probably going to die together …
That was my last thought. However, time quietly passed. After a few seconds, I realized that the death that I had imagined didn't come. I didn't even feel a wisp of the Heavenly Lightning.
What was going on?
I suddenly opened my eyes. In front of me was still Tong's cocoon, but this time, the cocoon's color was different. It wasn't pure black like before. Instead, it was filled with countless silver sparks.
From the silver sparks, the power of the Heavenly Lightning was still on the cocoon. However, the strange thing was that I hugged the cocoon, but I couldn't feel a wisp of the Heavenly Lightning.
The source of the Heavenly Lightning should be electricity. Was it because the cocoon didn't conduct electricity?
I thought in disbelief. However, I quickly discarded that thought because when I pressed my hand on the cocoon, the silver sparks flickered and even moved to the back of my hand. However, there wasn't any power transmitted to me, nor did it cause me any discomfort.
This situation looked like the Heavenly Lightning had completely fused with the cocoon.
As I stood there, confused, the fatty finally ran to my side while panting. He asked me loudly, "Third Baby, how are you?
Are you hurt? "
At this moment, I was like a lamp that had run out of oil. I didn't have any energy left in my body, but I wasn't hurt. It was just that my Dao Qi had dried up and my body was exhausted.
I shook my head, and the fatty relaxed. He looked at the silvery and black cocoon in front of him. With a strange expression, he asked me, "What's going on?"
I told him that it was the spirit that had been following me. However, I didn't know what was going on with the cocoon and the Heavenly Lightning.
After I said that, I looked up at the sky. The dark cloud that had attracted the Heavenly Lightning had finally disappeared. Chen Yangting was sitting cross-legged on the ground in the distance. His face was ashen. After using the talisman that had attracted three Heavenly Lightning bolts, he had consumed a lot of his energy. He didn't have the strength to attack for the time being.
The fatty and I should be safe for the time being. I heaved a sigh of relief and focused my gaze on Tong Tong's cocoon.
Although Tong Tong and I didn't have a soul contract, after living together for so many years, we had developed a spiritual connection. Although we were separated by the cocoon, I could feel that Tong Tong's soul hadn't dissipated under the Heavenly Lightning as I had expected.
This was already the best outcome, but my heart was still heavy.
That year, when Deng Meng had captured Tong Tong and forced me to hand over the object in which Tong Tong was residing, she had sprinkled cinnabar on Tong Tong's body to bring her endless pain.
Cinnabar was an item of extreme Yang energy, but it couldn't be compared to the Heavenly Lightning. Back then, the Heavenly Lightning had brought her so much pain.
