In the boundless void, there was a space filled with rocks. A high-grade Supreme Expert was using his high-grade Ancient God weapon to escape at high speed.
Behind him, he could still hear the terrifying roar of a true dragon.
Cao Cao panicked. It had been many years since he had encountered such a terrifying opponent.
He had fallen into an illusion and could not get out of it. This was the first time in a thousand years that he had fallen into such a dangerous situation.
With his strength, even a normal Supreme Martial Artist's illusory technique would not be able to confuse his mind!
Fortunately, he had the help of his Ancient God weapon, which had fused with his body and mind. When he was about to be killed by the opponent, it had protected him and brought him out of the illusion.
"What kind of people are they? How could they set up such a powerful illusion formation? Could they be that person's disciples?" Cao Cao swallowed a divine pellet to recover. He was very aggrieved as he thought to himself.
According to Tong Buyi, besides the strange soul power attack, the opponent's power was not worth mentioning.
But now, besides the soul power attack, the opponent could also set up a powerful illusion technique. He had already set up the formation, waiting for them to come and catch them all in one fell swoop.
He was a dignified high-grade Supreme Expert at Incipient God Realm, but he could not even touch a hair of the opponent and had to run away. If this matter was spread out, he would lose all his face.
However, he did not have time to think about this problem. He had to leave as soon as possible.
"Today's humiliation will be returned tenfold in the future!" Cao Cao swore in his mind.
Even if a high-grade Supreme Expert at Incipient God Realm was injured, he could escape at full speed. Even Ling Xiao and Dragon Fifth could not catch him.
Ling Xiao sighed inwardly. His doppelganger returned to the Sea of Consciousness of his real body.
Yuan Zhantian had entered the breakthrough stage. It would not end soon. He still needed to use the pellets to understand the key points of the Supreme Expert and Incipient God Realm.
Ling Xiao knew that the person who ran away would not bring more people here in a short time. He controlled the few people who had lost their fighting power and began to absorb the God Soul power.
These God Souls had all reached the Supreme Expert level. To him, they were super supplements that could quickly strengthen his God Soul power.
He had already provoked a strong enemy, and his life could be in danger at any time on this Region Path. Every bit of increase in strength was the best insurance.
While Yuan Zhantian was breaking through, Ling Xiao was also making use of his time to accumulate strength.
After several months, Yuan Zhantian finally succeeded in breaking through.
His breakthrough caused a phenomenon that shocked the surroundings. Many terrifying heavenly lightning bolts blasted towards him with rolling thunder.
Boom boom boom!
Lightning bolts as thick as heavenly pillars suddenly appeared in the void and bombarded Yuan Zhantian's position.
When Ling Xiao saw this terrifying scene, he immediately packed his things and ran as far as he could!
"This … this breakthrough actually caused Heavenly Lightning to descend. Just what is going on?" Ling Xiao asked with an extremely puzzled expression.
This huge area of Heavenly Lightning was enough to completely destroy an ancient mountain range. Even an ordinary Supreme Expert, Incipient God Realm expert, and the eleven Holy Beasts would have a hard time withstanding it!
At this time, the Long Armed Iron Monkey King let out a sharp voice. "The Holy Prince is born from heaven and earth. Every time he breaks through a great barrier, he will naturally suffer from the Heavenly Lightning. If he can't even endure the Heavenly Lightning, then he will vanish into thin air. However … after enduring the Heavenly Lightning, his strength is not something we can compare with!"
The Long Armed Iron Monkey King's eyes were filled with deep worry.
Even it was afraid of this terrifying Heavenly Lightning power. It could only hope that its Holy Prince could withstand it!
This was a heavenly barrier. Once Yuan Zhantian crossed it, it would be hard for him to meet an opponent within the same realm as him. Even if he met someone at a higher realm than him, he would still have the power to fight!
Within the Heavenly Lightning Sea, Yuan Zhantian had already transformed into a real Sacred Battle Ape.
His body had already expanded several times. His entire body was covered in golden hair. His eyes were bloodshot. He faced the sky, pounded his chest, and roared. At the same time, he continued to counterattack the Heavenly Lightning.
However, there were too many Heavenly Lightning. With so many of them pouring down at once, he was bombarded until his skin and flesh split open. Blood splashed everywhere.
He continued to roar and resist. However, this only made the Heavenly Lightning even more powerful. The power of the Heavenly Lightning became even more abnormally terrifying.
Ling Xiao, who was watching this scene from afar, felt his scalp go numb.
"Is he going to transform into a Sacred Battle Ape?" Ling Xiao thought to himself.
Yuan Zhantian had indeed evolved into a Sacred Battle Ape. After he withstood this batch of Heavenly Lightning, he would definitely have an even stronger fighting capacity.
The Long Armed Iron Monkey King and the Diamond Ape King kept roaring. They wanted to rush over to help Yuan Zhantian, but they also knew that they could not do anything about this Heavenly Lightning.
"The power of this Heavenly Lightning is very strong and pure. If I let my Spiritual Avatar enter and cleanse it, I believe it will be of help!" Ling Xiao thought.
In fact, he was afraid that Yuan Zhantian could not withstand it. Letting Yuan Zhantian's Spiritual Avatar enter and help him remove the impurities in his Spiritual Soul at the same time. This was killing two birds with one stone!
Roar!
Seeing that Yuan Zhantian had already been bombarded beyond recognition, his roars sounded so painful. However, he still clenched his teeth and persevered. The golden rod appeared in his hand and he was also receiving the Heavenly Lightning's baptism!
After hesitating for a while, Ling Xiao finally summoned his Spiritual Avatar and directly rushed towards the Heavenly Lightning.
Boom! Boom!
The power of the Heavenly Lightning was boundless and vast. Ling Xiao's Spiritual Soul was instantly bombarded until it was in pain.
Fortunately, his Spiritual Avatar had the strength of a mid-level Supreme Martial Artist and was able to withstand the power of the Heavenly Lightning.
If his Spiritual Avatar's strength was still at the low-level, it would have been destroyed the moment it entered the Heavenly Lightning.
Ling Xiao's Spiritual Soul rushed to Yuan Zhantian's side and directly blocked the Heavenly Lightning above Yuan Zhantian's head. The Emperor Dragon Heaven-Destroying Art met the Heavenly Lightning head-on.
The Heavenly Lightning around Yuan Zhantian was blocked and he immediately had a chance to take a breather. He quickly circulated his energy to heal his injuries.
As Ling Xiao faced the bombardment of power, his body was completely cleansed by the Heavenly Lightning. The impurities of the Soul Power that he absorbed from others were all expelled from his body. His Soul Power became purer and his body became more perfect!
Just as he thought he could easily block the Heavenly Lightning, an even more majestic power flashed in the void. The power of the Heavenly Lightning had actually reached the strength of a mid-level Supreme Martial Artist!
"Damn, what's going on? It actually became stronger!"
Ling Xiao let out a strange cry. He felt the pressure increase and his body was in more and more pain from the bombardment. He was starting to feel like he could not bear it anymore.
Ling Xiao had an indomitable spirit. In the face of a stronger power, he would not retreat immediately. He fully activated his 70-fold combat power and continued to fight the Heavenly Lightning with his dragon fists.
"How much longer do I have to hold on for?
If this goes on, I can only retreat! "Ling Xiao realized that the power of the Heavenly Lightning was increasing along with his strength.
"You can retreat. I'm fine!" At this time, Yuan Zhantian's voice sounded faintly.
At this moment, his Supreme Martial Artist aura had begun to stabilize. His strength was rising and his eyes were filled with confidence!
"Then you must hold on! I'm still waiting to fight with you!" Ling Xiao said as he quickly left the lightning zone, no longer helping Yuan Zhantian to bear the brunt of the lightning strikes!
Ling Xiao's Spiritual Soul quickly returned to his Sea of Knowledge. Only then did he feel refreshed.
The impurities that had been absorbed from other Spiritual Souls were all cleaned up. His Spiritual Soul became purer and stronger.
At this moment, Yuan Zhantian's countenance was much more dignified as he faced the Sky Lightning attacks. Every punch and every swing of his cudgel would disperse the Sky Lightning, and the damage inflicted by the Sky Lightning that struck his body was greatly reduced.
The Tongbi Iron Monkey King and Diamond Ape King finally relaxed when they saw this. They both believed that Yuan Zhantian would definitely be able to pass this Heaven's Dispatch!
After a whole day of Heavenly Lightning, the Heavenly Lightning finally dispersed.
Yuan Zhantian was exhausted and seriously injured. However, he had indeed passed this Heaven's Dispatch and became a true Supreme Martial Saint Ape!
Roar!
Yuan Zhantian let out a long roar. A golden light burst out from his body. That aura caused the surrounding space to ripple.
Yuan Zhantian's body gradually shrunk and he slowly returned to his human form. His aura was also completely restrained.
The Tongbi Iron Monkey King and Diamond Ape King quickly flew towards Yuan Zhantian.
Ling Xiao also followed. He took out a Divine Elixir to let Yuan Zhantian recover his strength first.
"Brother Yuan, I didn't expect you to catch up again!" Ling Xiao said emotionally.
Yuan Zhantian's advancement speed was so fast that even he felt the pressure multiplying!
Yuan Zhantian was not the least bit excited. He remained calm and said, "There's still a gap between us. However, our battle is not far away!"
"Haha, I'm looking forward to it!" Ling Xiao replied with a laugh. After a pause, he added, "Hurry up and recover from your injuries. I believe there are many enemies waiting for us to go over."
"I hope the more the better. Otherwise, I will feel very unhappy!" Yuan Zhantian replied faintly and closed his eyes to recuperate.
"What a pervert!" Ling Xiao scolded in his heart.
Next, Ling Xiao and the rest were not in a hurry to continue their journey. They waited for the Tongbi Iron Monkey King to advance before continuing their journey!
After absorbing Tong Buyi's soul, Ling Xiao already understood the strength of the Red Snake Gang and the various dangerous places on the Region Path.
If they continued to head east, they would definitely encounter the Red Snake Gang again. They had to be prepared to fight at any time.
To the combative Ling Xiao and Yuan Zhantian, this was the journey they were looking forward to. That way, they would not feel lonely and bored along the way!
What they did not know was that this feast would be unforgettable for them!
