“What’s that? Did someone just walk out of the Heavenly Tribulations?”

“Wait, that’s a…humanoid lightning.”

“My God, that’s the most terrifying Heavenly Tribulation. It’s come from the Ancient Catastrophe.”

“This has raised the level of difficulty of this Heavenly Tribulation by so much.”

“From the first attack of a giant dragon, there’s now suddenly a humanoid lightning!”

“There are also different difficulty levels of humanoid lightnings. Most of them are drawn from the strongest in various realms. This time, however, it seems as if this lightning is on the Heaven General level.”

“From ancient times when there were Celestial Emperors, Heaven Generals were the masters of hundreds of thousands of heaven soldiers. If this dude is just here to cross a calamity, is there a need to send one that’s so terrifying?”

Within Tian Sha City, everyone was marveling about the Ancient Catastrophe and discussing what Xu Que was going to go through. It was hard for them to believe what they were seeing.

They really hadn’t yet recovered from the shock of the deaths of the ten Celestial Kings. The last thing they expected at this moment was that someone would walk out of the Ancient Catastrophe.

Zixia Fairy’s face changed, and for the first time she really showed some signs of nervousness.

With regard to this humanoid lightning, she didn’t know much more than all the other spectators.

Only Buttface and Duan Jiude continued to look calm.

“Look at all the faces of you guys who haven’t seen much in the world. It’s just a Heaven General. There’s nothing much to be alarmed about.” Buttface mocked all the spectators who were staring open-mouthed.

HMPH! “What a bunch of ignorant people.” Duan Jiude shook his head.

Back in the old days, they’d witnessed a Crossing Calamity of hundreds of thousands of Heaven Soldiers. Now, there was one Heaven General. They didn’t feel that there was much to be alarmed about.

Nishang Fairy and the woman in black were standing outside the prohibited area and had stopped talking. They were just looking on coldly. They’d long ago given up on the idea of provoking Xu Que. Now they were only curious to see how Xu Que would deal with what was going to happen.

Xu Que remained calm. He ignored the humanoid lightning and looked up at the sky.

That was truly looking down on the humanoid lightning. His gesture even carried a tinge of disdain.

Everyone in the crowd caught his expression, and they were stunned.

Without waiting for the crowd to react, Xu Que raised his hands toward the sky and said loudly, “D*mn, I’ve been waiting for more than half a day, and you guys send such a man down? Are you guys so petty? Is there nobody else to send?”

People in the crowd watching were totally dumbfounded now.

Xu Que shouted to the sky again, “Ten, today I had to strike more than ten. This was nonnegotiable.”

BOOM!

Thunder roared in the sky, seemingly as a direct response to Xu Que.

The crowd jumped in shock.

“D*mn, this dude is mental! He dares to challenge Heaven’s power when he’s crossing calamity?”

“The Gods have eyes!”

After the thunder had died away, there was no other movement.

Suddenly, the golden humanoid lightning rose up higher in the sky. The rifle in its hands swept the scene and the rays headed for Xu Que.

“Ha, I didn’t even worry about hundreds of thousands of Heaven soldiers. Now there’s just a Heaven General waving a light saber. What use is that?” Xu Que laughed coldly. He took a step and rose into the sky. He held the Tough-Acting King’s Purple-Gold Rod in his hand and closed the distance between himself and the humanoid lightning.

The Heaven General seemed angered and sped toward Xu Que. It whipped a spear all around, then it pushed out its other hand.

.

BAM!

The spot that Xu Que was standing on started to sink.

Xu Que appeared to be stationary and was dragged along as the ground sunk. He seemed to be suspended in the air as a result.

The brief suspension was just like when a game character froze and hung on the screen while everything else continued to move.

However, things could change in the blink of an eye.

At that moment when Xu Que was suspended, the spear that the humanoid lightning was holding started to move toward his chest.

“Things aren’t looking good!” In Tian Sha City, Zixia Fairy’s expression changed.

“He’s doomed. He can’t avoid death anymore,” someone in the crowd said and shook his head.

“That General is too ferocious. Although it’s just a humanoid lightning, it’s so powerful!”

“Very long ago, Heaven Generals were like Celestial Primes.This humanoid lightning has inherited all the characteristics of the Heaven General. It’s just that its cultivation stage is weaker. But look at its power! It’s at least as powerful as a Golden Celestial of the Great All-Embracing Heaven or even a Celestial Emperor.

A bunch of people gasped collectively.

At the borders of the prohibited area, Nishang Fairy frowned. “It’s ending so soon?”

BANG!

The sound was crisp. The spear that the humanoid lightning was holding struck Xu Que’s chest. It pierced through his body.

Blinding rays of gold filled the air.

Everyone in the crowd gasped. They were stunned.

“How…how can that be?”

Many of them were wide-eyed.

The spear that the humanoid lightning had been holding seemed to have pierced through Xu Que’s body. However, it hadn’t really pierced through his body entirely. In fact, it had crumpled to pieces, creating only the illusion of it piercing through his body.

The reality was that the spear summoned by the Ancient Catastrophe had been destroyed. Other than the fact that Xu Que’s clothes were torn, his body hadn’t been hurt at all.

“Oh, even the spear is gone. How are you going to kill me now?” Xu Que looked on mockingly. Then he lifted his leg and gave the humanoid lightning a kick.

Seeing that things were not right, the lightning retreated.

However, a hand held onto him and then pushed him into the ground. Xu Que lifted his right foot and a glow could be seen.

With the strength of a second-rate Holy Physique and the Act-Tough King’s Leg enriched by 100,000 Acting Tough Points, Xu Que summoned a terrifying strength. He kicked the body of the humanoid lightning mercilessly.

BANG!

There was another explosive sound.

Everyone was shocked. The Heaven General had been defeated and thrown away. Like a kite with a broken string, he was sent flying into the sky.

Shortly later, he exploded.

Like golden fireworks, he exploded very brightly, forming streaks of light formed into tiny golden arcs. They rushed toward Xu Que’s body.

PIT-PAT! PIT-PAT!

Xu Que stretched and all his bones let out crackling sounds, absorbing the energy that was flying toward him. He suddenly became stronger.

“That’s so lame. Such a Tribulation…and you dare to call it an Ancient Catastrophe?”

Xu Que looked to the sky, challenging it, and acting all high and mighty.

Although that was the normal power a Heaven General possessed, he was actually still quite surprised.

For example, he’d been unable to avoid the spear. Fortunately, his physical body was large and sturdy. Otherwise, that spear would have taken his life or at least caused him to be seriously injured.

If he’d been hurt, it would’ve been pretty hopeless for him to be able to cope with the next challengers.

However, because of what had happened, Xu Que was now even braver.

The humanoid lightning sent by the Ancient Catastrophe was unable to cause harm to his Holy physique.

In that case, what else was there to be afraid of?

“Send a stronger one over!” Xu Que yelled, looked up at the sky.

The crowd had all turned silent. They were in tremendous shock.

It was fine that the spear of the humanoid lightning hadn’t killed Xu Que. However, it was unbelievable that Xu Que had even managed to destroy it.

That was truly unexpected!

“The physical body of this guy is really…very complicated,” Zixia Fairy frowned as she said softly, staring at Xu Que.

“I see it now!” The woman in black looked solemn as she nodded.

BOOM!

At that moment, another loud commotion rang out at the scene.

Something was happening to the third storm cloud.

A golden light beam hit the ground. Huge beams of golden lightning intertwined, once again condensing into a human figure.

Compared to the burly silhouette of the Heaven General, this humanoid lightning had a smaller body. It looked beautiful and delicate.

The dress that it was wearing was emitting golden rays and swaying with the wind.

When everyone saw what this humanoid lightning looked like, they were all flabbergasted.

Everyone looked at Nishang Fairy, who was standing outside the Prohibited Area.

Nishang Fairy’s face froze. Her eyes widened as she was clearly surprised.

The woman in black, who was standing beside her, wore a mischievous look. She laughed, “This is getting interesting. It’s actually a humanoid lightning of you! This challenge is gonna be interesting!”
