13. You Asked Me to Strike
Of course, Gong Yiling, who was studying the thunder essence, did not know what was happening outside.
Although this thunder essence seemed to be a kind of natural spiritual energy, and there were indeed some cultivation techniques that used thunder spiritual energy, for example, many sects’ Daoist techniques themselves used thunder to attack.
However, this thunder and thunder essence were not the same thing. This thunder essence, as a power independent of natural spiritual energy, the most important point was that it contained the power of the Heavenly Dao.
Yes.
This thunder essence itself was the power of the heavenly thunder tribulation, and it was naturally inextricably linked to the Heavenly Dao.
Even though the power of the Heavenly Dao was not a tangible power that ordinary people could master, but more of a vague comprehension, this had already made the thunder essence, as a carrier, special enough and difficult enough to refine.
And this difficulty, in Gong Yiling’s hands, became a piece of cake.
With the full operation of the Heavenly Saint Technique of the Myriad Paths, even if the thunder essence was a hard bone to chew, it could only be obediently absorbed into her body.
Along the way, the thunder essence continuously gathered the lingering power of the heavenly thunder that was still wreaking havoc in Gong Yiling’s body, and finally formed a river of mountains and rivers that flowed into her dantian.
In the dantian, the thunder essence and the power of the Heavenly Dao within it were gradually divided into two pure qualities under the traction of the Netherworld’s cave. The thunder essence was drawn out and wandered around the dantian, while the power of the Heavenly Dao was completely absorbed into the Netherworld’s cave.
If one were to look at its shape, one could clearly see that this Netherworld’s cave was also deeper and more mysterious than before, and it was obviously different.
And as this process continued to accumulate, Miss Gong, who was still surrounded by thunder essence, could clearly feel that the surrounding thunder essence was almost no different from ordinary spiritual energy to her now.
This seemed to mean that when she faced the heavenly tribulation, she could even directly activate the Heavenly Saint Technique of the Myriad Paths and forcefully suppress the power in the heavenly thunder in her own body, just like dealing with the venomous essence and the Heavenly Sin’s soul.
In that case…
Gong Yiling opened her eyes, and the light in her eyes was as clear as a mirror. And when she opened her eyes this time, what she saw was no longer her previous self-realm, but she had returned to the “battlefield” where she should be.
So what exactly happened…?
She was still puzzled when she felt a tingling sensation on her right hand, and also a slight stinging sensation.
She didn’t know without looking, but a look really scared her. The clothes on her right arm had been completely torn to shreds by the tyrannical heavenly thunder, and the lightning was still churning on her hand, almost as if she didn’t know her arm was on fire.
“Holy crap!” She didn’t know what she had just encountered. Not only had her heart sword disappeared, but such a terrifying scene had also appeared on her right hand.
However, it was a good thing she woke up in time. Although this lightning was scary, she had now mastered a few skills to control the heavenly thunder. With a single circulation of her qi, the lingering power of the heavenly thunder on her hand dissipated on its own.
“It really works—” Seeing this, she couldn’t help but look up at the sky, but this glance made her feel that something was not right.
Strange, this cloud… was the number of clouds a lot less?
She remembered that there were about nine clouds in the sky just now, and they were nine clouds of an extremely large scale, not just this one small broken cloud now.
So just now… what exactly happened? Why were even the clouds gone?
Although Gong Yiling was very puzzled, but even if there was only one thundercloud, as long as the power of the heavenly tribulation was large enough, it was enough to kill her.
Now she could only see how effective the technique she had just mastered was against this heavenly thunder.
Suddenly, a golden light flashed in the sky, and then a heavenly thunder struck her on the head.
Gong Yiling instantly summoned her heart sword again and rushed towards the thunder pillar in the sky.
This was not a reckless move. As she rushed up, she also began to use the Heavenly Saint Technique of the Myriad Paths, waiting for the moment of confrontation to try a wave of “learning from the enemy to defeat the enemy.”
However, the moment her heart sword touched the heavenly thunder, Gong Yiling felt something was not right again.
Wait a minute?
This thunder… how could the power of this thunder be so much weaker?
For the time being, regardless of how her Dao-demonic dual cultivation state was lifted, she was now as fragile as before. However, this golden light heavenly thunder only looked fierce, but it did not cause her much threat.
Its power was even weaker than the appetizer at the beginning.
Strange… was it because she had become stronger, or had this heavenly thunder become weaker, or had she actually been struck into the underworld by that golden thunder before, and everything now was like a revolving lantern…
Pah, she could still feel the pain. It was definitely not that she was struck to death, but that this heavenly thunder had inexplicably weakened.
“Hey, brother?” Gong Yiling was still planning to try the ability she had just mastered, but now this thunder didn’t even give her a chance to perform. This was quite puzzling.
“Have you eaten or not? You dare to call yourself the Thunder God with just this?”
If this thundercloud had a spirit, it would surely spit a mouthful of thunder soda at her.
—”I’ve already gone easy on you, and you’re still complaining! Shameless!”
“Give me some reaction, brother?” Miss Gong below still unwillingly waved at the thundercloud. “At least give me something of the same level as before. Don’t be so lazy, brother.”
“If you really can’t, then it has to be at least twice as strong, at least twice. If you’re afraid of using too much electricity, then I’ll reimburse you for the electricity bill. Anyway, I have plenty of money, do you hear me?”
The thundercloud remained unmoved, but more and more golden light could be seen flashing between the black clouds.
This heavenly thunder, it should have a bit of a temper, right?
Miss Gong felt that her words were reasonable, so she continued to shout at the heavenly thunder, trying to arouse its fighting desire.
“Don’t let me call you grandson. I think you’re quite reliable, but if you really only have this much ability, then don’t blame me for sliding over and beating your dad.”
This sentence, although it didn’t sound very imposing, was like a drunken man cursing on the street, and it might even be worse than them.
But Gong Yiling, at the right time, gently patted her own face.
At this, the thundercloud reacted to what this girl meant and immediately became furious.
The golden light in the thundercloud became stronger and stronger, and a vast power quickly spread in all directions, a precursor to a thunderous strike.
“That’s more like it.”
Gong Yiling took a deep breath and prepared herself in an extremely short period of time.
However, the moment this thunder struck, its speed and power were so great that she was sent flying before she could even activate the Cloud Rainbow Sect.
Her wish had been granted.
