Chapter 452: 452. The upper limit is low
In the gloomy canopy of the sky, thunder roared and rolled, with Lu Li drifting in like a speck of dust.
Suddenly, the clouds brightened dramatically, and thousands upon thousands of thunders burst forth, covering the heavens and the earth as they struck at Lu Li!
With a continuing roar that shook the heavens, Lu Li was like a tiny boat in a torrential downpour, violently slashed by countless thunders.
anwhile, the will of heaven and earth within the thunder was like a grand millstone, repeatedly grinding down on Lu Li’s divine soul.
Lu Li felt as if he were a tiny insect tossed into a blender.
All he could hear was the rolling thunder, his vision filled with endless flashes of lightning, his body crushed by the majestic force of heaven and earth, on the verge of being ground to dust the next second.
If he couldn’t withstand it, he was dood to beco a vegetative being.
Yet, having undergone nine thunders’ baptism over three days, Lu Li’s divine soul was far from what it was before.
Even as he was tortured miserably, he always preserved a trace of his true spirit unextinguished, his consciousness clear.
Lu Li gritted his teeth and persevered, slowly adapting to the ravages of the thunder.
The experience was hardly bearable, with pain so intense on his soul that it directly assaulted his consciousness, with no upper limit. Ordinary people would be driven mad by the pain.
But Lu Li, grimly determined, insisted on enduring it!
The thunder of Blue Star was already a weakened version, an extra bit of care from his mother star.
If he couldn’t withstand even this, it would be better to die early.
“Bring it on!”
Lu Li clenched his teeth, bolstered his spirit, and began to resist the thundering will of heaven and earth.
During the previous nine rounds of thunder refinent, the will of heaven and earth had been like a hamr, repeatedly forging and strengthening his divine soul.
But at that ti, there were various protections on the divine soul, whereas now he was completely exposed, facing the will of heaven and earth head-on.
The will of heaven and earth was no longer just a hamr; it had beco a forging press!
This vast force of heaven and earth slamd into Lu Li’s divine soul, forging it to its limit, even causing nurous cracks to appear.
Blue light spots began to drift out, the impurities expelled by the forging.
This scene was sowhat similar to a magic treasure being refined by dark matter. Lu Li’s divine soul was purged of dross and beca ever more transparent and pure.
So, as thunder after thunder struck him, Lu Li endured the imnse pain while his divine soul continued to solidify and perfect.
Indeed, he was like a stubborn piece of iron being forged into fine steel.
After persisting for another five minutes, his divine soul fully adapted to the will of heaven and earth’s forging.
The pain plumted, and a tingling sensation of comfort began to erge, as if he were receiving a full-body massage.
Moreover, as the electrical charge energy was depleted, the force of the thunder gradually weakened, the effectiveness of its tempering less and less, not even keeping pace with the speed of the Spirit chanism’s repairs.
Lu Li felt sowhat unsatisfied, but there was nothing he could do.
Blue Star’s transcendent was inward, with thunder’s might relatively weak, allowing one to adapt and train in advance.
But correspondingly, the upper limit was low, and its effect would soon be lost.
Yet, no matter what, it was a thunder tribulation.
To tough it out without any protection, the benefits one should receive were naturally not lacking.
Lu Li guided his divine soul to fly back to his physical body, but he didn’t rush to return to his inner core. Instead, he raised his hand and slapped his physical body, producing a “snap” sound.
All the cultivators he had encountered before had divine souls that were but faint, illusory light shadows.
Fan Chengxun’s divine soul earlier had even been disturbed by the palm wind fanned out by Qiu Yan.
But at this mont, Lu Li’s divine soul could actually high-five his physical body, evidently possessing substance!
This signified that the divine soul had condensed to the utmost limit, which is why it could shift from the intangible to the tangible.
While others have only an illusionary presence, you possess a solid form, with a disparity in strength of at least tenfold!
With such strength in the face of thunder tribulation, the success rate is more than tenfold!
This was Lu Li’s greatest gain from his return ho, by far more formidable than any Listening to Thunder or Summoning Thunder.
Others may listen for a hundred years and still not catch up to him, who had a thunderstorm cloud fly in to give it a try.
And all this, when all is said and done, was a gift from his mother star.
Lu Li bowed distantly toward the half-dissipated cloud, which now let through so sunlight, and once again thanked heaven and earth.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Seizing the mont, Lu Li ascended high into the sky to search and soon found another cloud over the Atlantic.
It was slightly smaller than the previous one, but it would serve nonetheless.
Without taking any protective asures, Lu Li hurriedly navigated his Divine Soul into the cloud and underwent another round of thunder refinent.
However, the effect was quite diocre, and Lu Li barely felt any pain.
Just as he had anticipated earlier, the Blue Star Thunder easily reached its limit and lost its effectiveness.
Lu Li didn’t feel disappointed either.
The support from his Mother Star had already been more than enough, and the gains from his return had far exceeded expectations. Contentnt was what he ought to feel.
“Now, it’s ti to wrap things up and prepare for the true Heavenly Tribulation.”
Lu Li turned his head and flew toward land, heading straight for the Hampton Anchorage!
At this mont, in the “New White Mansion” beneath California, the leaders of the Star Alliance Country finally awaited this day.
A red button lay in front of President Deng Han, who would soon press the “Detonation Button” himself.
A display screen was also hanging on the wall of the conference room, showing two aircraft carriers docked in the military harbor—the Truman and the Roosevelt.
Both carriers were already in the harbor for extensive repairs and wouldn’t be able to leave anyti soon, so they were used as bait.
A nuclear bomb with the yield of millions of tons was planted on the Truman!
President Deng Han and others stared intently at the display screen.
The carriers’ composite armor could effectively shield against the Evil Demon’s penetrating vision, and the demon would assuredly destroy the carriers himself. As soon as he neared the bomb, it would be detonated.
“May God protect us.”
Deng Han muttered a soft prayer, his expression showing so hesitation.
Similarly lacking confidence were the other leaders present.
Up to this point, nobody could guarantee that a bomb with the yield of millions of tons would definitely work.
Therefore, the Star Alliance had prepared an alternative strategy.
Deng Han asked the Chief of Staff beside him, “The probability of a ceasefire is nearly 100%, right?”
“99.17%, Your Excellency.”
The Chief of Staff, a woman of Tianzhu descent, affird confidently:
“Hundreds of psychologists, along with top-tier artificial intelligence, have all co to the sa conclusion—the Evil Demon doesn’t want to drag the entire world down with him and will certainly stop.”
Deng Han had known this conclusion for a while, and re-confirming it now was rely for peace of mind.
He said no more, just quietly preparing.
Before long, Lu Li arrived.
Seeing two aircraft carriers still in the military harbor, Lu Li, of course, was delighted and wanted to dismantle one by hand.
The carriers’ defense, with just the steel plates being 70 milliters thick, was interlaid with Kevlar armor and anti-electromagnetic pulse coatings.
These asures could effectively hide the nuclear bomb from Heavenly Eye, preventing Lu Li from detecting it imdiately.
By the ti sothing seed amiss, it would be too late to escape from the nuclear fireball with a 4-kiloter radius.
A bomb with the yield of millions of tons indeed had a chance to kill him!
But no matter how much they planned, after undergoing the thunder refinent, Lu Li’s Divine Soul strength had exploded, along with a violent increase in his overall Cultivation.
His abilities, such as the strength of his Spirit, the power of his Heart Image, the speed of his Sacrificial Refinent of Flying Swords, and others, all leapt qualitatively.
The probing ability of Heavenly Eye had received a trendous boost as well!
At this mont, Lu Li glanced over and, with a wave of his Spirit, pierced straight through the carrier, spotting the room-sized nuclear bomb at the bottom of the ship.
It would have been difficult not to notice sothing that size.
A cold smile crossed Lu Li’s face, followed shortly by a thought:
The “Heaven and Earth Unjust Scripture” stated that one standard for surviving a Heavenly Tribulation was the ability to withstand the damage of a scattered Heart Image.
Executing this in Otherworld would be rather troubleso. Why not take advantage of the current situation and test it?
