Shi Lang was absorbing the Golden python and inscribing the foundation with Dao Laws, while at the same time he was strengthening his body too. His speed was fast but the input on his body was even stronger.
He decided to change his strategy otherwise, he would die from this pressure. As he finished absorbing the third golden lightning bolt, he retrieved a bottle of healing pills and swallowed them down in one gulp.
These pills were refined by him in the cave inside the Titan Mountains. Shi Lang consumed them quickly and soon his body began to heal but the heavens did not want to give him any chance, the fourth lightning bolt charged at him in the shape of a leopard.
Tian Long asked, "Why is the lightning shaped like objects?"
The Dragon man scoffed and said, "Ignorant."
Tian Long looked at the man and released his pressure. The might he displayed shocked the dragon. He did not expect this human to have such a strong aura that could compete with a legendary beast. He looked carefully and found that almost every human sovereign was similar to a legendary beasts.
He was baffled and thought, 'What the fuck happened? These humans are outrageously strong.'
Allure did not bother to explain anything to them and asked, "Your Excellency, is there an order to these lightning bolts? They don't seem random to me."
Hou Bing was standing on Allure's head, and she hummed lightly before saying, "The golden lightning is supreme among all sorts of lightning. It can destroy anything because it is made up from the perfect union of the five elements.
The objects that you are asking about at the strength test. Shi Lang is strong and the golden lightning cannot push him to his extreme limits. This is why it is attacking him in the shapes of various objects."
The dragon man nodded and said, "Her Excellency is correct, the order of these attacks is based on increasing strength. The sword, the spear, the python, the leopard, the tiger, the sage, the queen, the flood dragon and finally the dragon.
The last three not only test your cultivation but also your heart by casting various illusions. Once you are trapped in the illusions, your death is eminent."
The people understood what was going on, their expressions turned solemn, and suddenly a soft voice sounded in the area, "Eldest Sister, I will ask master for a new sword when he comes out."
Everyone turned to look at the master of the voice and found Yu Xeidi standing behind Shi Tao. They all shook their heads thinking that the girl was taking things too lightly.
However, when they sensed the aura of a golden core from her they were all stunned. This child was just a ten years old, but her battle intent was revolving around her unbound.
Hunk chuckled and said, "Xiao Yu, I can give you a nice new sword."
The dragon man's face turned red and he wanted to throw a tantrum when he spotted a small eye glaring at him. Hou Bing's gaze was akin to a knife that rested against his heart, as soon as he spoke, Hou Bing will kill him.
The size of this little bird may appear cute but the might that resided inside her was enough to shake the world.
Shi Lang stood in the void, he was not wearing his battle robe anymore. At the end of the first tribulation, it had vaporized.
As he raised his head, he saw a female figure condense from lighting. Fairy Moon Jade mumbled, "Amelia?"
Hou Bing replied, "The tribulation of love."
The people understood what this round was going to test. Shi Tao shook her head and said, "The heavens made a mistake."
Shi Lang stared at the figure made from golden lightning and said, "You think that just because you have taken her form, you can go deep in my heart. Shake my resolve and take me down? Are you overestimating yourself a bit too much?"
The people were shocked, and Shi Lang moved forward. He appeared before the lightning Amelia and embraced her as he said, "Thank you for the gift."
Then he tightened his grip so much that the lightning figure broke apart and he absorbed every shred of it to proceed to the next level. He gazed at the clouds and said, "Don't try this next time, I will slash a hole in you."
The clouds thundered and the next moment a large flood dragon charged at Shi Lang. The Terran did not flinch and the fight began. The spear was already busy with awakening the spiritual conscious and evolve into a heavenly artifact.
So, the Shura held his sword and charged to slay the lightning dragon. The battle lasted for a hour, and Shi Lang suffered many wounds, one of his hands were almost amputated, however, the effect of the healing pills was helping him recover faster. He used his superior body to divert all the healing properties to the arm.
Then the world shook, a roar erupted from the depths of the dark clouds. Shi Lang let go of the sword in his hand and stood on the ground. His figure looked so lonely that Shi Tao could not help but clench her fists.
He raised his head and said, "Come."
A golden dragon with golden scales, claws and horns charged toward Shi Lang. The tail of the golden dragon was still hidden in the clouds. The condensation of golden lightning had reached such a level where the dragon looked real.
Allure hummed and said, "I hope he could make it through."
Hou Bing did not say anything, she was thinking the same thing but her dharma forbade her from helping Shi Lang. What she did not expect was for Shi Lang to clash with the Dragon head on. A blinding glow erupted from the point of contact. They all closed their eyes.
