Chapter 172 - Is He Still Human?

Chapter 172: Is He Still Human?

This was completely different from what everyone had imagined.

They had originally thought that when the black mist went berserk, they would see rivers of blood and mountains of corpses. They had even prepared for the worst, that everyone in the secret realm would be annihilated.

They had imagined all kinds of possibilities, but the outcome was not what they had expected.

“Who can explain what’s going on?”

Everyone looked at Shen Changling, who was still panting. He was the only one who could explain.

Shen Changling was half-dead and looked like he was seriously injured. He shouldn’t have caused it, and he didn’t have the ability to do it.

As for Ye Xuan, he was sitting cross-legged with a long breath. This scene was a bit strange as it was not a good time to meditate.

Could it be him?

This guess was even more outrageous. What cultivation level was Ye Xuan at? How could he turn such a terrifying black mist into what it was now?

Shen Changling opened his mouth and looked at Ye Xuan subconsciously. He didn’t know how to explain it to the others. In fact, even he was shocked by this fantasy scene.

Not far away, the sky was still rumbling, and it was still gloomy, but it was not as dark as before, where the clouds were so heavy that people almost couldn’t breathe.

As the secret realm opened, the aura inside was completely exposed to the outside. In addition, the black mist did not conceal itself at all, so it was quickly discovered by the Heavenly Dao.

“Boom!”

With a loud sound, a thick golden lightning bolt fell. The dragon’s roar spread in all directions, and everyone was shocked. It illuminated everything in the world, and darkness had nowhere to hide.

Everyone saw with their own eyes that the lightning struck the black mist and burst out with a wail that sounded like the wailing of countless vengeful ghosts. It simply made people shudder.

As the black Qi gradually dissipated, everyone finally understood why the black mist they had seen at the beginning looked like this. It contained the power of the laws of heaven and earth. If it hit them, they would probably lose half their lives.

The Yaochi Holy Land, the Dao Seeking Sect, and the Heaven Sect were all dumbfounded.

“It’s rumored that if anything in the world goes against the laws of the heavens, the heavens will send down golden divine lightning as punishment. So it’s true…” Someone finally spoke after a long while.

“I’ve always thought that it was just an ancient legend. To think that there really is divine lightning in this world.”

Everyone couldn’t help but look at him in awe.

Even the heavens were watching over them. If not for the sudden appearance of the divine lightning, they would have seen rivers of blood.

“In fact, he was the one who attracted the golden lightning,” Shen Changling interrupted.

Everyone looked in the direction he was pointing and saw Ye Xuan, who was still in meditation. They almost said in unison, “How could it be him!”

They would never believe that the golden divine lightning was Ye Xuan’s work.

After listening to Shen Changling’s story, some people revealed a look of disbelief as if they were listening to a bible.

“You’re saying that the black mist devoured everything around it, but because of Ye Xuan’s advancement, purple lightning first fell, and then golden divine lightning?”

“It’s just a breakthrough from the human rank to earth rank. How could it cause such a big commotion? You must be joking.”

Even Mo Jianming had a look of suspicion. Although he knew that Ye Xuan had a secret, it was not to the extent of being so exaggerated.

One had to know that this was a lightning tribulation!

Anyone who underwent the lightning tribulation was either an almighty expert or a heaven-defying figure.

Ye Xuan had just broken through from the human rank to the earth rank, and this small matter was worth making a big fuss over. Even sending down golden divine lightning was a little too much.

If everyone was like Ye Xuan and caused such a commotion, the Heavenly Dao would be exhausted to death.

Everyone looked like they had started to fantasize. Shen Changling looked serious and didn’t seem like he was lying.

“You’re not hallucinating, right?”

Shen Changling didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “I swear, every word I said was true.”

Just as everyone was still in shock and digesting this huge piece of news, a cloud of black mist slowly condensed on the ground. A twisted and resentful face could be vaguely seen. It bared its fangs and brandished its claws as it pounced at Ye Xuan, making a final resistance.

Shen Changling wanted to stop him, but it was too late.

Even though most of it had been struck by the golden lightning, the remaining power could not be underestimated. Even the grand elders felt an unprecedented cold power.

“Boom!”

The golden lightning descended from the sky once again. Under everyone’s watchful eyes, the remaining black mist dissipated, and everything was settled.

At this moment, everyone fell into silence.

They didn’t have to believe Shen Changling’s words, but this time, they saw it for themselves. There were so many pairs of eyes present, and they couldn’t be lying.

Everyone’s heart could not help but be stirred.

It was actually true!

Who was Ye Xuan? Was he the reincarnation of a saint? Otherwise, how could the divine lightning have descended?

In any case, coupled with Ye Xuan’s previous performance in the secret realm, it could prove that this person was extraordinary.

Even though Ye Xuan had just reached the low level, which was the lowest level in their sect, there were still many people who wanted to take him into their sect.

Such a big shot would definitely have a bright future!

The sound of thunder gradually died down, and the thick black Qi also dissipated into the world. Everything seemed to return to normal as if nothing had happened.

However, the destroyed scenery around him proved that what had happened was not an illusion.

Ye Xuan was still calm, and the aura he exuded was that of a genuine earth rank, but thinking of the movement he had just made, some people would believe it if he said that he had broken the void.

It was estimated that he wouldn’t wake up for a while. People from all the major sects went to the secret realm to search for the surviving disciples. As for the other grand elders, sect masters, and other important figures, they were guarding Ye Xuan.
