Chapter 650: The Eye of Heaven's Wrath

Translator: StackThatCoin Editor: Hitesh_

Wu Qi and Princess Zhang Le quickly lifted their heads, only to discover that the entire Myriad Immortals Planet was surrounded by a thick layer of lightning, which looked quiet and calm as a still pool. There were no words which could be used to describe the dreadful pressure that came from the slow approach of the ten-thousand-feet-thick, glue-like sticky curtain of lightning. All Wu Qi could feel was that his body had turned stiff from fright, his innate divine soul had frozen in his body, and he could not think of a solution.

Wu Qi thrust his fist almost reflexively, unleashing countless bolts of lightning, a great sheet of cold air, a towering fiend flame, and numerous green cyclones; all of which mixed together into a ball of chaotic energy and smashed into the curtain of lightning that pressed slowly down from the sky.

However, nothing happened.

The attack unleashed with his full power plunged into the curtain like a drop of water dripped into a vast ocean, producing not even a tiny ripple. The thick curtain of lightning continued its slow descent with a devastating aura, one inch at a time, inevitable like the falling of the night and capable of wiping out every single hope in the world. Wu Qi stood stiffly where he was, with cold sweat breaking out from his entire body and drenching his clothes.

Panic-stricken, Princess Zhang Le let out a sonorous howl. The five-colored divine ray behind her back suddenly swirled, then a bright ray shot out of it, quickly expanding into a greet sheet of radiance while sweeping toward the curtain of lighting. The air rang with a faint rumbling of thunderclaps as the attack unleashed by her shattered into pieces in just a flash. The backlash made her stagger a few steps back, blood flowing out of her seven orifices.

Little Que'er and Ao Buzun flicked open their eyes at the same time, both looking up at the curtain of lightning.

Little Que'er knew nothing about this curtain of lightning. However, just like Wu Qi and Princess Zhang Le, she was frightened by the dreadful power that came with it. Her feathers were standing on their ends, which made her look even fatter. On the other side, Ao Buzun was nearly choked by his own saliva. "Damn it! I've done nothing against reason and nature! Why am I forced to face the Thunderous Wrath of Heaven?" He roared out in rage.

But soon, after blinking for a moment, Ao Buzun suddenly burst into laughter. "Haha! You nearly scared the hell out of me! This is not the real Thunderous Wrath of Heaven, but a fuc*ing counterfeit made by the Thunder Faction of the Heaven! Its power is only as strong as the full power strike of a twelfth-tier Gold Immortal, far weaker than the real Thunderous Wrath of Heaven unleash by the Heavenly Dao, which can easily wipe out a Primordial Immortal!"

As soon as he finished, Wu Qi grabbed him by the neck and snapped, "You idiot! The full power strike of a twelfth-tier Gold Immortal? What makes you think we have a Gold Immortal here to withstand this tribulation?"

Ao Buzun's long dragon whiskers stretched taut instantly as he wailed in a hoarse voice, "Heavens! I had totally forgotten that I'm no longer as strong as I was! We're in deep sh*t! This is the Thunderous Wrath of Heaven unleashed by the Eye of Heaven's Wrath crafted by the Thunder Faction of the Heaven! This thing was nothing for me in those years, but now... I'm going to die here and never be reincarnated again!"

The immense fright made him shiver; tears were rushing out of his eyes while he kept farting loudly. "I refuse to accept this as my fate!" He howled. "I've just got back my fleshly body. I've not recovered my cultivation base, and I'm still a VIRGIN DRAGON! I refuse to accept this!"

As Ao Buzun was howling and screaming hysterically, Lei Meng suddenly grabbed hold of the thunder rune and brought it in front of Wu Qi and his companions. "What is this?" He asked curiously, "Are your enemies here? Mm, this rune contains a very strong force of the thunder... I can tell that none of you are particularly strong in terms of cultivation base. So, how did you manage to provoke such strong enemies?"

Wu Qi stared at the thunder rune speechlessly while Ao Buzun was rolling his eyes, nearly fainting. He then roared at the top of his voice, "Don't put this thing in front of me! Oh heaven and earth, do you know what is this? This thing will kill all of us here!"

After spending some time flipping and tossing the thunder rune which could wipe out the entire planet and all the people on it, Lei Meng shook his head and stuffed it into his mouth. A muffled boom echoed out as dark smoke suddenly exuded from his body, and the lightning swirling around him seemed to grow stronger. "It's delicious! The power in it is almost equal to me cultivating for hundreds of years!"

Wu Qi's eyes went wide while Princess Zhang Le's jaw dropped, and Ao Buzun stared at Lei Meng while he cried out in shock, "You've devoured the thunder rune crafted by the Thunder Faction? What a monster! Err... Mighty Senior, could you also finish off all the bolts of lightning that surround us? Look, there are plenty of them… And guess how many years of intense meditation they could save you?"

Lei Meng laughed pleasingly and said with a nod, "You're right! The curtain of lightning is about ten thousand feet thick. I reckon it can save me at least three hundred years of meditation. Hehe… What a surprise! Not only did I get to enjoy a rich blood sacrifice this time, but also bumped into such a delicious dessert! Well, I guess I'll not stand on ceremony now!"

With his mouth opened, Lei Meng turned to the slowly descending curtain of lightning and inhaled. Immediately, sharp crackling and loud rumbling rang across the air as innumerable bolts of lightning came pouring into his mouth like a torrent. Wu Qi exercised his Chaotic Divine Eyes and saw that they were instantly teleported into the world of wasteland and lightning after entering Lei Meng's mouth. Sitting cross-legged on the ground, Lei Meng's true self had both hands locked in a strange incantation gesture as the torrent of lightning kept injecting into his forehead.

In the blink of an eye, a blindingly intense light erupted from Lei Meng's true self, and the size of his projection on Myriad Immortals Planet expanded to twice its size, as if he was just fed with some powerful tonic. The blood-red light sprinkling down from his hands had grown denser and stronger as well. Now, not only the light was pouring into the bodies of Patriarch Jiang Yun, the other Heaven Immortals, Ao Buzun and Little Que'er, but was also being injected into Wu Qi and Princess Zhang Le's body along with a deafening rumble.

Wu Qi and Princess Zhang Le exchanged a bitter smile. Currently, their energy and cultivation base had reached the limit that their bodies could endure. What they needed now was not more energy, but the elevation of their understanding of the Dao. It was nice for Lei Meng to give them such an enormous amount of energy, but that did not actually benefit them.

At any rate, there was no reason for them to reject such a generous gift. Furthermore, it was just the waste produced by Lei Meng after digesting the countless bolts of lightning. All they could do was keep sending the energy into their interstitial worlds, turning it into the source energy for their interstitial worlds to grow and expand. With the help of it, their interstitial worlds had gone through another round of tremendous transformation, looking very different from the past.

It had taken Lei Meng merely ten minutes to finish off the curtain of lightning that blotted the sky. When he was done, he reached out a hand and grabbed at the void, which shattered in an instant while a dozen immortals were pulled out of it. Laughing wildly, he threw a few fair-skinned and younger-looking immortals into his mouth and swallowed them down; he then slammed the three oldest immortals, including Jue Cheng, on the ground before Wu Qi.

"They are the ones behind the attack," he said while laughing wildly. "Hehe… If I were not here, that attack alone would have wiped out all the living beings here, and even the planet would have been gone now. Hey, these three are their leaders, and I'll not stand on ceremony for the rest. I'll consider them as a part of your offerings!"

Wu Qi stared at Jue Cheng with flames of anger flickering in his eyes. "You vile Daoist! When have I offended you? Why were you attacking us with such a deadly thunder magic?" He bellowed. Fear grew in his heart again when he thought of the dreadful pressure he sensed from the curtain of lightning as it made its slow descent, which filled his heart with wrath. As a result, he gave Jue Cheng a powerful kick in the face.

Jue Cheng and his two Junior Brothers were twitching and struggling in pain on the ground with their heads reeling when Wu Qi's kick came pounding in his face and knocked many of his teeth out of his mouth. Then, he saw how Lei Meng had swallowed a few of his Junior Brothers. He could not help but cry out in a shivering voice, "My fellow Junior Brothers... you've died tragically!"

With blood filling his mouth, Jue Cheng looked around, and when he saw the pool of blood and the bodies around it, he shrieked. "A blood sacrifice ceremony? How many people have you killed? The Heaven has decreed that offering blood sacrifices to fiends in outer domains is strictly prohibited! Are you not afraid of the punishment from the Heaven?"

Wu Qi and Princess Zhang Le exchanged a glance, then both of them shook their heads at the same time.

Suddenly, Starshark flew out and cut off Jue Cheng and his two Junior Brothers' heads. As the three bloody immortal souls were about to flee into the sky, Princess Zhang Le pointed her finger out and unleashed a few streams of ghost flame, trapping all three of them in mid-air. Miserable shrieks could be heard coming out of the souls as the princess used the soul-searching technique to squeeze out a generous amount of their memories.

Apart from the cultivation techniques they were practicing, which were the core secrets in their memories and had been locked by someone with some restrictive spell, everything about them, including their origin, their identities, and their mission, were dug out by her.

They were the direct disciples of Green City's Ancestral Master, and also the Heaven Patrolling Officers. Similar to the imperial guards, Heaven Patrolling Officers were the special officers who reported directly to the Great Celestial Emperor. In outer heavenly realms, their authority was even higher than that of Immortal Monarchs and Heaven Lords, and they had the absolute power to execute one on the spot without any prior approval from the Heaven.

Their mission was to destroy thirteen planets which were served as evil lairs with an Eye of Heaven's Wrath!

Wu Qi and Princess Zhang Le exchanged a glance. They knew immediately that King Yang Qiu's father's scheme must have leaked, and someone had begun to attack him through the power of the Heaven! In those years, it was Green City which had ruined the game of chess that King Yang Qiu's father had laid out. And now, it was them again who came here to cut the weeds and dig out the roots!

If Wu Qi had not turned the whole situation on Myriad Immortals Planet upside down, which led to the departure of all the emperors and ministers of six dynasties from the planet, perhaps Jue Cheng's thunderous strike would have killed all of them here and ruined King Yang Qiu's father's various arrangements!

The only thing that was worth pondering about was who actually found out the secrets! Moreover, who had leaked the secrets to the Heaven?

After pondering for a moment, Wu Qi and Princess Zhang Le still could not figure out the culprit. Looking at each other, they shook their heads and smiled wryly at the same time.

At that moment, Lei Meng suddenly reached out his hand into the sky and pulled down a colossal eye. It was thirty-six miles in length, transparent and brilliant like a gemstone; shrouded in dark clouds, it constantly emitted purple-blue bolts of lightning. Then, he clenched his palm into a fist, seeming to cast a spell. Before long, the eye had shrunk to just one inch in length, which he casually tossed it over to Wu Qi.

"This is an interesting artifact, capable of absorbing all kinds of natural energies and converting them into bolts of lighting! It is useless for me though, for I, Lei Meng, am the Lord of Lightning, and I have my own Prime Artifact. Take it as a bonus of your blood sacrifice!"

Clutching the Eye of Heaven's Wrath with his hand tightly, Wu Qi was rendered speechless.
