Chapter 509: [ Field of Lightning ]

“A good place…”

Thunderous roaring rose up as soon as Allen entered the new dimension.

Dark place… with only an empty ground and the dark as ink like clouds hanging above them—a vast expanse of space had appeared in front of him. Within this space, numerous clouds gathered and lightning converged within these clouds.

The lightning would descend from the sky continuously like fierce silver pythons.

Wherever he went, he was surrounded by a lake of lightning—

ROOOARR!!! Lightning began to amass in the sky, to a far greater extent than before.

A roaring sound could be heard as a massive bolt of lightning three meters thick began to fall.

It looked almost like an enormous pillar of light.

A pillar of light that could erase everything of existence in this world!

However, Allen didn’t do anything—instead; he spread his arms wide and accepted it.

As if he was receiving a baptism, Allen's lips curled into a faint smile.

The few disciples within the field were staring at Allen as if he was an idiot. However, the next moment, their eyes widened in shock. The terrifying lightning didn’t anything to him instead, the moment the light struck his body, it immediately split into nine parts which descended downward.

Some electric sparks flew towards Allen like small snakes seeing their mother. They covered Allen’s body with sparks.

Comfortable…

Only one word filled Allen's mind as he felt his body becoming energized as if every cell in his body is jumping around in joy.

The disciples who had seen the strange spectacle let out cold breath one by one… no matter how powerful they are, they were certain that they would never be able to do something like that. After all, one must know, one of the strongest death trials for a cultivator is none other than--Lightning Tribulation!

No cultivators did not fear the Lightning!

Who is this youth?

Allen was still standing there leisurely with his Dawn attire in proud immortal demeanor. The cultivators who were standing in the shade nearby saw the unbelievable scene, causing all of their focused gazes to be centered on him.

“Who is that youth? So handsome, so young… Since when did such a stunning character like this appear in our Passing Cloud Sect?”

The passersby were marveled and enviously gazed at Allen. Only an Emperor stage and above can receive that kind of lightning without a problem….

This group wondered when they would become like Allen, an Emperor level cultivator who could tread the sky and destroy the nether.

Allen ignored all of this and stared at up above.

The sky was like a vast, throbbing beast of a storm that thrums with continual lightning and bellows forth with thunder—an object of singular, electrifying intensity that seems more like an angry living thing than a mere weather phenomenon.

It was beautiful… but more than that, it held a kind of beauty that holds enormous danger.

“I’ll do it here…” Allen smirked. This is the best place he could find! “Rebellion…”

“Yes, Master…!” After hearing her name being called, immediately, Rebellion who was following Allen, immediately know what he wanted even without saying it. She waved her hand and dozens of black swords appeared from the void.

They then pierced the ground, in a circle formation with Allen as the center!

When Allen sat cross-legged on the center of the sword formation, his palm touched the ground. A cold feeling entered his hand.

“So this isn’t made of stone or earth, but rather some sort of metal. Judging from its appearance, this metal powerfully attracts lightning. What an interesting place.” Allen chuckled in amusement.

Boom!

At that moment, the lightning bolts and thunder within the clouds had charged up near its full potential and seemed like it would descend down upon him again any second now. The clouds were becoming darker than before as they coalesced just above him, indicating danger was near.

Even the crowd far away from Allen seemed to feel suffocated by the impending dangers.

“… Well, that’s not bad at all… now then, bring it on,” Allen grinned.

As if responding to his voice, clouds began to converge above him.

The sound of rolling thunder, like the roar of an ancient beast, rang out and displayed its full might to the world.

Boom!!!

The thundercloud rumbled and a tiny silver divine lightning bolt soared through the clouds and descended at an alarming speed towards Allen, who was sitting on the ground cross-legged.

Seeing the descending lightning, Allen wasn’t worried at all instead, he made a triangle with palm and within it, a white flame appeared—the white flame transformed into a symbol of a skull with a pair of horns.

His Soul Core…

This field was for tempering one’s body, but with the lightning energy, Allen can use it instead to feed his soul core and let it grow. Like planting a seed, Allen was planning to make the lightning energy be its food and water to grow up.

Boom!!!

Once again, the silver lightning landed overwhelming Allen’s body. This time, the violent energy within the Lightning bolt seemed to be too strong. Instantly, his body twitched and he could feel stinging pain not from his body but instead his soul. As if being pricked by a thousand needles simultaneously, even with [ Lifeless Physique ] it still gave him a massive amount of pain.

But Allen endured it, clenched his teeth and raised his power at another level.

The dazzling lightning covered his body and jumped around before entering the exposed soul core on his palms.

Chi Chi.

As the lightning was absorbed into his Soul Core, his Soul Core began to fluctuate and a subtle crackling sound could be heard. After a while, the lightning began to fade away. However, Allen could feel that a portion of his magic power had become slightly more condensed.

“Master…” Rebellion stood patiently at the side as she watched Allen condensed his Soul Core. Suddenly, she noticed several people coming over—frowning angrily, Rebellion flicked her finger and the swords protecting Allen floated up and shot in front of those curious onlookers.

“Wha—?!” At this second, the curious people were stumped by whatever they saw as their faces revealed looks of dread.

Some of them even jumped up in fear at the crashing sounds of thunder, causing their faces to turn pale with fright. Their legs even began to tremble, oblivious to whatever was happening. All of them turned their gazes towards Rebellion who stayed guard with a terrifying expression.

“Leave!” A chilling murderous intent exuded from Rebellion’s eyes.

Those people who were curious about Allen had been struck stunned as they saw the dozens of flying swords appearing before them. It was not only them but also those people still a dozen meters away also stopped. They looked at the scene with a dumbfounded expression and tongue-tied.

What?

What is this…?

“Wait! We meant no harm...!!” the frontest disciple looks at the sword that had stabbed just in front of him, his expression turned pale as white paper. A look of disbelief flashed in his eyes as his body was shivering. How could he not be shaken?

He was almost been sent to King Yama just now…!

Scary…!

“Leave!” Rebellion muttered coldly.

The black swords hovered around Allen protectively.

“Y, yes! We will leave now! Okay! We will leave now!” The disciples immediately left with large strides, and after he left, he could clearly feel that his own blood had been frozen by the murderous intent released by Rebellion.

Rebellion looks at the scampering disciples that look like chickens and snorted. She waved her hand and the swords returned to their usual formation, protecting Allen. She had a hand in her hair as she bit down hard on her lips, tearing flesh. A wound formed on it as blood seeped out.

Her eyes started to well up with tears as she mumbled to herself, “You can do it… master!”

*** ***

Outside the sword formation, Rebellion was staring at Allen with a worried expression. Surrounded by swords, sitting in the middle with legs crossed Allen already looked in bad shape, his entire person enveloped within a layer of light red mist.

The red within the mist was not at all the aura, but Allen’s blood.

It’s been almost a week already since Allen and Rebellion had stayed within the Field of Lightning.

However, since then, Allen had never once opened his eyes and woke up. not just that, Allen’s situation seemed to have infected the entire Lightning Field as all the lightning bolts only struck the place where Allen was and even the Spiritual Energy of the entire dimension revolved around him, to the point that anyone could see the crystallized magic power with their naked eyes!

Boom doom!

Before long, another huge wave of lightning had descended!

It almost resembled a waterfall, as the Lightning spilled down from the heavens down onto him. That mighty and intimidating strength emanated from the skies terrified everyone standing down below.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Lightning one after another struck Allen and the size of this wasn’t least bit weak compared to before—after all, all of the lightning energy contained within the Lightning Field was now gathered in a single area.

Because of this strange phenomenon, it attracted quite an attention. Even Venerable Passing, Ouyang Yishuang, and all the elders started appearing within the Lightning field, just to see this strange yet magnificent scene.

“What is going on here…?” Venerable Passing stared blankly at Allen without blinking as the latter sat stood there surrounded by terrifying thunderclouds and beautiful crystalline magic power. Within the three thousand kilometer region, the ground had been completely transformed into a beautiful aurora.

The sky was thick with black clouds, and lightning fell down like rain, shaking Heaven and Earth.

In the mortal world, one would surely think of the Lighthouse of Maracaibo. However, at this moment, the one in front of them was a hundred times more terrifying compared to that place—and Allen was the center of this kind of storm!

He sat there like a Lightning Rod, attracting lightning one after another.

A large bolt of Lightning Bolt would strike down at every passing second, with no pause or break.

But one thing that caught the people’s attention was the black colored symbol that looked like a demon skull with a pair of horns slowly rotating in front of the youth.

Due to the lightning sparks around him, it sometimes dyed the black skull, almost turning it into gold, though only for a moment. However, when it did, the symbol seemed to be growing slightly… an inch or a centimeter every passing day…!

What is that thing…?

A magic item…?

Venerable Passing and the others wanted to come closer but the moment they moved, Rebellion would stop them with the sword. From this woman, Venerable Passing could feel a threat even with his level of cultivation.

This was really a shock…!

How is this woman’s power even surpassing him…?

He could understand and feel it helpless to compared to Allen if it was him but even the woman following him was giving him this kind of feeling was really—when did powerhouses in this world become so abundant…?

Just what kind of background does Allen have to have such a servant like her?

“Young Miss, we meant no harm, we just want to know what was happening…” Venerable Passing sigh as he lowered his attitude.

Rebellion’s chilly expression didn’t reduce but she knows this old man in front of her, thus, she answered, “I’m also not sure but from what I can see, Master should be attempting to have a breakthrough…”

“Breakthrough?” Venerable Passing’s eyes dilated in shock… this phenomenon was induced by a mere break through…?!

Do you think I would believe that?!

How the hell do you think we undergo every fuc*ing breakthrough…?!

If that is common in every breakthrough there’s no fu*king immortal in the world anymore!!

Venerable Passing wanted to cry out in anger but he held himself when he noticed Rebellion’s expression which was extremely pale, as if devoid by blood. Damn it!

“But is Grandmaster going to be okay?” Ouyang Yishuang worried, asked Rebellion in a low voice.

Rebellion’s brows were equally tight, “I know, I’m happy for all of your concerns but, right now we, even more, can’t interrupt the master, otherwise, the result would be even more severe. Right now we can only believe in master’s willpower.”

“… …”

“Sister Rebellion, what happened to master?!”

Suddenly, as they were conversing with each other, an anxious voice rang out.

Laura had apparently appeared wearing a grave expression. She was concerned that Allen didn't return for quite a long time so she went out. She had been busy organizing the slaves. Thus, although she was worried about Allen and wanted to see him, she endured it and focuses on things before her. After all, nothing would happen to Allen in here. Thus, there’s no point in worrying about senseless things.

But now, it has been quite a few days since Allen had not returned to the Ruinos Castle and she felt a vague premonition. This caused her to immediately settle things as quickly as possible and look for Allen.

And now, this displeasing premonition was turning into an absolute certainty.

“Laura,” Rebellion sigh.

“Sister Rebellion, I said what happened to master?!!” Laura gritted her teeth in anger.

She had felt a sudden unease and immediately left the castle but never did she expect Allen’s terrible appearance.

“Calm down, Laura. Master is cultivating…” Rebellion answered. But even her voice was cracked and low, showing her unsettling emotions.

Laura’s pupils dilated as she stared at Allen whose face at this very moment was very pale. She gritted her teeth in anxiety and worry—what do you mean cultivating…?!!

Looking at Allen, Laura’s heart thump wildly, as if something was squeezing her heart so tightly she couldn’t breathe. Her entire body trembled—

Not long before she arrived, along with violent spiritual energy fluctuations over his body, Allen’s skin had begun to overflow with a layer of fine drops of blood. Along with spirit power rising into the air, it became this kind of light red mist.

Allen’s brows were tightly locked, lips closed tightly, his body continuously convulsing violently. Adding to the drops of blood leaking through his skin, it was obvious that he was currently in severe pain.

Within the mist, from time to time transmitted the sound of bones snapping. Each time gave everyone around him a kind of hair-raising feeling.

Cultivation Deviation…?

Many people thought of these words.

Thick sweat beads rolled down Allen's forehead, yet he apparently didn’t notice it. At this time, he could feel a burst of intermittent fatigue in his soul, causing him an enormous burden. However, he knew very well that the more critical the moment, the more he couldn’t relax.

Suddenly, a stream of energy flowed into Allen’s meridians. Quickly, his spirit startled. Due to the stimulus of his lightning energy, the Xiantian Qi in his body was rapidly moving as if being injected with steroids. His Spiritual Qi was completing cycle after cycle—this was really an unexpected pleasant surprise.

However, this fortune was too big for the current Allen…
