Chapter 43 Celestial lightning

The anger that the patriarch was feeling only grew stronger and stronger. By now he had completely forgotten that more than few hundred dao essences were floating around him. He only knew that he wanted to teach this horrible immortal a lesson. Also he had the deep desire to finally be noticed by him. Rather he wanted to get this guy that seemed to not care a bit about anything that was going on to finally become serious. He was curious, just how powerful this immortal could be at his peak. Because of this, he was rapidly thinking of a way to get him furious and drop his unconcerned attitude. Quickly he thought of something. Angrily he yelled towards Zes.

"You ask how old am I? Fuck you, I'm hundreds of years older than your eldest ancestor. No need to talk about you worthless parents.

Weren’t your parents eaten by some worthless trash of a demon? You couldn't do anything about it, could you? Hahaha, I guess trash is always consumed by trash, right?"

The patriarch deliberately started laughing making his provocation even stronger. The demons on both sides were speechless. Even when facing a mortal enemy you would not get as shameless as to insult your enemies’ parents. To do something like this was considered to be mediocre and no one that hold himself in regard would start doing this. But the patriarch did not mind them at all. Right now for him it only mattered to get Zes into a rage. To see just how strong this little piece of shit could become. As for everything else, he couldn't care less about the opinion of some country pumpkins and he was sure that the elders would also find it distasteful but never even get the idea to tell anyone else about it.

The person that insults were directed to, Zes, was still standing on the same place as he had before. His face had long since hardened and the cold light in his eyes could freeze anyone looking into them. A never before seen coldness started to surround him. Even Reis that had already witnessed how it looked when Zes was in rage felt her heart shiver in fear as the coldness reached her. She immediately backed away and with astonishment she realized that on her body there was a thin layer of frost.

The coldness around Zes only became more and more intense as his dark face looked towards the patriarch, which had stopped the insults as he realized that he had achieved his goal.

Normally Zes would not react as strongly as he did right now. But the feelings of hate, sorrow and wrath were still deeply engraved into his mind after the souls of the devoured humans entered him. He had hated the patriarch before for what he had done to the countless humans he had devoured. But now this bastard had touched his weak point. Every time he even just heard demons talk about humans badly, he would already become enraged but if it was about his parents, which he had seen dying in front of his own eyes, it was as if a burning sword would pierce his mind and destroy every reason he had.

Right now Zes has completely changed in contrast to the playful Zes from before. Even when compared to him that was insane of sorrow and hate, the one now was even darker. Not only was he giving of a feeling of complete darkness. The terrible coldness caused by his emotions made it even more contrasting to before. If you add on the army of shadows behind Zes, he was now looking like a king of hell leading his undead army of vengeful spirits onto a path of bloody revenge.

Now that the patriarch had completely enraged Zes, he finally remembered about the 400 plus dao essences hovering around him. He smiled. These dao essences would be his first test for this trashy immortal. If he could survive it, then he would go out fully and fight to death. If not, he was just too weak to be his opponent.

With a thought of him, the dao essences all shoot towards the floating Zes. Zes’s cold face glared towards the incoming orbs. Grimly he lifted his hand. He snapped his fingers and the sound of him doing so echoed through the city.

Suddenly the whole sky seemed to be covered by formations. Big and small, they layered all over the heaven as far as one could see, there were only formations rotating there. A thunder followed Zes’s snap also echoed through the surroundings. Then a scene that seemed to come right from hell appeared before the astonished eyes of the whole population of Bluedragon city.

Pitch black lightnings have descended towards the dao essences and the patriarch. These lightnings were not just black. If carefully observing them, one could faintly see a shine of white in the middle of them. These lightnings were called Celestial lightnings and were the most powerful type of lightning demons knew. They normally only appeared when a deity stage exceeding being was trying to ascend and had to be overcome by the ascender in order the achieve ascension. If that expert could not overcome the Celestial lightnings, he would be destroyed not even leaving behind the soul. Because of this obstacle, most deity stage exceeding existences tried to delay their ascension as long as they could. Only few were feeling confident enough to immediately ascend.

This kind of lightnings were currently descending all over place. In fact, normally while ascending, there would be at most 3 strikes of lightnings but right now there was no way to even count them. One after another they descended destroying everything on its way.

As the Celestial lightning slammed into dao essences, they instantly caused the space to crack open and devour both the lightnings and the dao essences. As for the lightnings crushing into the patriarch, it was mostly evaded by the peerless movement technique that the Kun clan was famous for. But the amount of lightnings made it impossible for the patriarch to evade all the lightnings and some he had to block using dao essences or defensive techniques. This naturally quickly depleted the qi inside of his body. If it would go on like this in a few breaths time he would be unable to defend anymore. At that time a single lightning bolt would be enough to put his existence to an end.

Just as the patriarch was about to go crazy because of this hopeless situation, a loud sound of crackling echoed. The countless formations covering the sky started to break down one after another. As the formations were breaking apart, the lightnings became less frequent and as the last formation broke down, there was no more Celestial lightnings slamming down.

The patriarch could finally slow down and an expression of relieve surfaced. Any longer than this and he would have become dust under the continuous barrage of lightnings. But now, that it ended he could relax a bit and quickly refill his qi.

The black faced Zes was still standing at the same place as in the beginning. He hadn't moved at all until now. But it was obvious that these formations had put quite a strain on him. His breathing was rugged and sweat was glittering on his forehead. Nevertheless, he was still impersonal and dark. His whole person was like a frozen angel of wrath.

The patriarch knew that now, that the formations had been broken, he had once again the advantage. It had cost Zes almost all of his qi to create the formations and the strain put on his mind was also huge. Even now, he was likely unable to concentrate at all, meaning that he also couldn't refresh his qi reserves as the absorbing of qi required a clear mind. Of course he used the chance he had gotten. If he let Zes time to recover, there was no one guarantying that he wouldn't die if he did so.

So using this opportunity he once again created vast amounts of dao essences. But this time, they did not appeared to be as disordered as before. The dao essences formed formations of 30 each. This formations were in fact a technique inherited by his clan and it had the ability to rise the power of the dao essences to three times its normal power. In total there were 30 of this formations making a total of 900 dao essences. All of these dao essences shoot of once again aiming for Zes
