C21 For the Heartless

BOOM! Just as he walked out of the grandmist fire tower, a deafening roar of thunder came from the distance. Then, the azure blue sky was covered by clouds that came from all directions.

The dark clouds shrouded the entire valley, and the clear sky instantly turned dark. Zhang Hao looked up at the overcast sky and sighed, "It's f * cking good to be alive!" Ever since he was almost turned into nothingness by the Immortal Star Flame and survived, his temperament had changed by a lot.

While he was lamenting about the hard-won life, the clouds in the sky became thicker and thicker, and a faint pressure began to emanate from them.

"Under this pressure, even breathing seemed to become much more difficult." This damned weather! " Zhang Hao let out a breath. Looking at the dark clouds, he felt a sense of unease, "Could it be that something messed with the God of Heaven?"

Just as he was wondering, the dark clouds gathering from all directions in the sky started to churn violently. A gigantic cloud vortex slowly formed above his head. As the cloud vortex slowly rotated, silver lightning arcs could be seen flashing and surging within it. Muffled thunder could be heard from within the vortex.

"Damn." Zhang Hao cursed in rage and quickly rushed out of the valley. Looking at the frightening black cloud, the unease in his heart grew.

"Don't tell me he's here for me?" As he thought of this, his heart quivered and his speed suddenly accelerated. He drew a blurry shadow in the forest and rushed towards a cave in the valley.

"Crunch." Before he could reach the cave, a white bolt of lightning as thick as an arm shot out of a cloud vortex towards him. The white lightning was extremely fast, and as soon as it broke through the clouds, it tore through the air and shot towards him.

Rumble … The white bolt of lightning hadn't even landed yet, but the pressure it contained already forced the surrounding ground down by an inch.

Boom!" The next moment, that bolt of lightning, with a destructive aura, struck Zhang Hao, causing him to stagger and fall face first onto the ground.

He stood up from the grass and looked up at the cloud vortex in the sky. He touched the spot where he had been struck by the lightning with fear still lingering in his heart. Anger surged in his eyes. At the place on his back where he had just been hit was a black spot the size of a bowl. White smoke was puffing out from it, and the smell of burnt meat could be smelled from it.

Zhang Hao looked at the charred area on his back and sniffed. He smelt a burning smell, then pointed at the cloud vortex in the sky and cursed, "F * ck, you're a thief. Where the hell did I offend you? How dare you strike at me like lightning? You're heartless for the heavens, you're a slave to everything …"

However, he did not know that it was the Immortal Star Flame Elemental Fire Seed in his body that had attracted the thunder tribulation. If it was at its peak, let alone a small thunder tribulation, even the divine thunder above the ninth heaven did not dare to be impudent in front of it.

However, it was currently in a weakened state. After its quintessence was refined by Zhang Hao, it could not even unleash a tenth of its original power. That was why the lightning struck it when it was at its weakest, wanting to completely destroy the Immortal Star Flame.

"Crunch." Just as Zhang Hao was cursing, a bolt of silver lightning shot out from the cloud vortex in the sky towards Zhang Hao's head.

This silver bolt of lightning was ten times thicker than the one before, and carried a terrifying pressure as it furiously struck down at him.

As soon as the silver lightning came out of the black cloud vortex, the surrounding trees were immediately snapped in half. Even the ground that was originally an inch deep was pressed down by the lightning once again.

Zhang Hao's feet sunk deep into the ground. As he stared at the silver lightning bolt that was hacking down at him, a crazed look flashed across his eyes. "Damn it! If you want me to die, I'll have to see if you have the ability to do so!"

Immediately, the silver inner core in his dantian began to spin rapidly, and a surging spirit energy surged out from within it. It surged through his meridians and gathered on his fists.

"Scoundrel! Come, haha …" Zhang Hao roared out crazily. His fists were covered with a layer of silver light, and he threw a punch towards the lightning bolts that came crashing down.

BOOM! A clap of thunder rang out next to his ears, causing his ears to ring with a buzzing sound. Fresh blood slowly flowed out from his ears.

Immediately afterward, a silver shock wave formed by lightning and spiritual energy spread out from his fists like water ripples. Within a hundred meter radius, wherever the shock wave passed by, the trees and soil were all shattered into pieces.

"Puchi!" Zhang Hao spat out a mouthful of blood, then laughed out loud while looking up at the sky, "You bastard! You're so mediocre! Come again!" He had just met that bolt of lightning with a hard punch, so it was obvious that he had suffered some serious internal injuries. However, this had aroused the malevolence hidden deep in his bones.

Silver sparks were released from the starfire essence within his dantian, quickly rushing towards his injured internal organs, seeping into them and starting to repair them.

After Zhang Hao noticed it, he frowned slightly. "I didn't expect this damn thing to have some use in my body." Immediately, his gaze stared intently at the black colored clouds in the sky, which appeared to be more solid. A solemness surged out from his heart.

At this moment, he could feel that a heart palpitating energy was brewing in the clouds. This energy made him feel as if something was brewing that could threaten his life.

"Rumble!" In the vortex formed by the black clouds, silver bolts of lightning as thick as bowls appeared continuously. They converged towards the center of the vortex from all directions, and as more and more of the silver lightning gathered into the vortex.

A terrifying pressure that caused one's heart to palpitate was emitted from within it. Under this pressure, Zhang Hao's body felt like it was being pressed down by a heavy weight, causing his knees to bend slightly.

Furthermore, even the flow of his blood seemed to have stopped, causing the uneasy feeling in his heart to grow heavier and heavier.

His pupils slightly contracted as he stared at the black cloud vortex that was continuously storing energy in the sky. The Chaotic Art activated at a rapid pace as the Spiritual Energy within his body was pushed to the limit. A monstrous fighting spirit slowly rose from his heart.

Seeming to have sensed Zhang Hao's monstrous battle intent, or perhaps the might of the heavens was provoked, the moment this battle intent appeared, the lightning in the cloud vortex in the sky suddenly shrank. Soon after, an eye-piercing silver colored cluster of light was released from it.

With the appearance of this mass of light, the clouds in the sky dimmed a bit. Even standing far away, the terrifying energy contained within was enough to cause one's heart to palpitate with fear!

A silver lightning ball formed from countless lightning bolts that were as thick as a bowl, quietly floating in the sky. As if it was suddenly spat out by a black cloud vortex, lightning bolts flashed on its surface, while a destructive aura emanated from it.

The moment this lightning ball that flickered with silver lightning appeared, Zhang Hao's heart pounded. Anyone could tell that this thing contained a terrifying amount of energy.

But at this time, it was too late to regret. He had to receive this thunder ball formed from the power of countless thunder and lightning in order to escape this tribulation.

Thinking of this, Zhang Hao's eyes were filled with ruthlessness, "Scoundrel, let me see how powerful you are this time. Come!" Immediately, he slapped his palm towards the silver lightning ball that was flashing with lightning arcs.

"Demon Annihilating Palm, the third palm strike, Shocking Mountains and Rivers." This was the strongest attack he could currently use. As his palm struck out, the silver lightning ball that was originally suspended in the air suddenly emitted a dazzling brilliance, before it emitted a buzzing sound. In the next moment, it suddenly cut through space without a sound and collided with his palm.

BOOM! As the silver ball of lightning was drawn out, the surrounding space began to tremble, and circles of spatial ripples that could be seen with the naked eye spread rapidly.

From above, it seemed as if a forest in the distance was suddenly touched by an invisible hand, causing layers of emerald ripples. Soon after, the heaven and earth suddenly became calm, and a gale quietly surged out from the treetops. Some of the demon beasts with sharp senses seemed to have sensed something, and they all climbed down with a low growl.

At this moment, the spiritual energy in his body had been stimulated to the limit. He knew that if he could not receive this silver ball of lightning condensed from the countless amounts of lightning energy, then he would have to pay the price of over 100 jins.

Therefore, at this moment, he did not hold back and activated the buzzing sound produced by the newly condensed inner core in his Dantian. Streams of silver spiritual power continuously surged out from his Dantian and gathered in his palm.

BOOM! As he struck out with his palm, a huge silver palm formed from spiritual power instantly appeared where the palm passed through. As soon as the huge palm appeared, it collided with the silver ball of lightning that flickered with lightning with the sound of wind and thunder.

Rumble … A soul-shaking buzzing sound came from the point of contact, as if his chest had been struck by a heavy hammer. A powerful force attacked him, and after a strange momentary silence, there was a sudden, world-shaking explosion followed closely by a huge explosion.

BOOM! Waves of energy shockwaves created by the collisions caused huge craters in the surrounding hundred meters. Wherever the shockwaves passed, even the solid mountain rocks were turned to dust by the explosions, and the trees were instantly turned to dust.

"Puchi!" Under this explosion, Zhang Hao's body was thrown into the air like a kite with its string cut. Then with a plop sound, he fell onto the ground like a doll.

"Swish." As soon as he landed, he spat out another mouthful of blood. It was obvious that he had suffered some serious internal injuries from the collision with the silver thunder ball.

"Crunch." As soon as he landed on the ground, before he could even get up, a barrel-thick bolt of lightning shot out from the dark cloud vortex in the sky, slashing down at him.

Zhang Hao looked at the lightning bolt and cursed in his heart: "Damn it, you're really despicable! While I'm heavily injured, you want to kill me all!"

Even though he was furious, there was nothing he could do about it now. That collision just now had exhausted all of the Spiritual Energy in his body, and he had been seriously injured by the explosion. Right now, let alone forcefully receiving the lightning tribulation, even his ability to dodge had completely disappeared.

Boom!" This was the reality. The bolt of lightning struck him, causing Zhang Hao to scream like a pig being butchered. The smell of barbecue filled the entire valley.

As for him, his entire body was twitching as he lay there. Silver arcs continuously flashed on the surface of his body. His hair was standing up and white smoke was coming out of his mouth. His body was charred black.

"Cough, cough …" Zhang Hao coughed lightly and spat. With a roll of his eyes, he fainted. However, his body's toughness was not bad either, he actually didn't die after being struck by the lightning bolt.

Clearly, it was exhausted of its strength just now. If it were to launch another attack like that, Zhang Hao's life would probably be lost today. It was also due to Zhang Hao's good luck that he was able to escape this calamity.

"Hurry up. If you dawdle any longer, then go back by yourself. In the future, don't tell me that I know you." Just as the cloud vortex was about to dissipate, the crisp voice of a girl came from outside the valley.

Then, a girl with a delicate face appeared from a bush. She turned around and waved at the forest with an impatient look on her face, "Do you hear me, Wu Bing? If you're a man, then hurry up and leave. Don't make me look down on you."

He looked up at the valley and said, "Little Qian, I think we shouldn't go in. Didn't you see how dangerous the thunder and lightning were just now? If something happened, I wouldn't be able to explain it to your grandpa."

Hearing this, the girl frowned and said angrily: "Wu Bing, don't use that old man to bully me. If you don't dare to go in, then wait outside and I'll go in myself."

Saying that, he ignored the man and walked straight into the valley. With a few flashes, he disappeared from sight. Wu Bing could only sigh and follow him with gritted teeth.
