Chapter 246: An Ant’s pride!
The crimson color lightning previously residing inside Joey’s Dantian began to agitate, came out, and made a link with the newly purified iridescent lightning bolt, and soon they were sent and concentrated inside his Dantian.
At that time, some stream of the crimson color lightning was sucked toward his heart and absorbed by the small Corruption ball.
This went on for 5 minutes, as the Iridescent color lightning bolt was completely refined, and absorbed by Joey. At that moment, the sky cleared up, and the bright daylights showed over the Ten Thousand Poison Sect.
Joey made a wide smile thinking that he could now easily block 60 Heavenly lightning tribulations unlike last time against the 50 Heavenly lightning tribulations.
But, at that moment, a beam of lightning with a mixture of red and colorless colors crashed straight down from the sky. It struck the array of Yin-Yang formations covering Joey. The beam snapped the array formation at the moment of impact and hit the entire body of Joey.
“Aaahhh….!” Joey screamed in pain. The beam continued to fall over him for 10 minutes burning all of his skin and inflicting some heavy internal damage in some organs. He barely managed to stay alive as his soul sea in his forehead was protected by the Heavenly Corruption pagoda and also his heart was completely fine. He floated over the surface of the lake while looking above the sky.
“Hmph! ” He heard a snorting sound of someone coming from the sky.
“Who-ever you are up there,…ahh… I will never forget today’s humiliation.” Joey spoke out using his last bit of energy.
“Insolence, 62nd Heavenly Lightning tribulation go. Kill that brat, die!” The same voice shouted.
The next moment a beam of lightning with a mixture of red, colorless, and blue colors came down from the sky and was about to hit the badly injured Joey.
“Hahaha…, is it the end of my life? Come-come, let me see if you could take my life.” Joey looked at the incoming beam of lightning without blinking his eyes and started laughing loudly.
The beam of lightning quickly streaked toward him. When it was just about to hit him a colorful peacock’s feather appeared out of nowhere, blocked and absorbed it completely. The next moment the peacock feather fell down and floated on the water just beside him.
“Dao, that is enough! Your job is to give the heavenly trial and not to kill for personal reasons. Have you already forgotten that you can’t use more than the 60th Heavenly Lightning tribulation in a lower world like this? Get loss, I don’t like to see your face here anymore.” A sweet female voice scolded him.
At that moment, Joey moved his hand and picked up the peacock feather. He then slowly stood up on the surface of the river and shouted, “Oh, your name is Dao, right? I will remember it.”
“Hello, Senior. Thank you for saving my life.” Joey cupped his hands and continued speaking, “This junior name goes by Joey. Can I know Senior’s name?”
“You don’t need to thank me. I am just doing my job here. It was never my intention to help you.” The sweet voice spoke again out of nowhere.
“Intentionally or not, I owe this one to you, so I will repay you one day since I am not a person to carry a debt against me,” Joey said while looking at the sky. Currently, his physical condition was in a very frightening state, given that all of his skins had been burned to 6-degree burns and everything on his body had been covered in black charcoal.
“Do whatever you want. I am leaving.” The sweet voice said coldly and her aura vanished from the sky.
“Hahaha…She is even looking down on me. Fine, I am just an ant to you people. But, one day I will cover the sky of your world like you all did here today.” He said.
He then turned his attention to the peacock feather in his hand, put it inside his space ring, and murmured, “I will use this to trace you one day. ” As soon as he said that, he lost all of his energy and fell into the water.
At the exact moment, a wave of energy was propagated from the bottom of the lake. All the greenish water inside it flew was lifted up 10 feet in the air for a few seconds and fell down again. After that, a man who seemed to be in his early 20s flew out from inside the lake and stood in the air just a few feet above the surface of the water.
“Finally. I have broken through to the lvl 5 of the Divine Realm. ” He was none other than Yuwen Tai, the Sect Master of The Ten Thousand Poisons Sect. He looked much younger as his vitality increased after his breakthrough.
He waved his hand and a totally charred body of Joey was lifted from inside the water and brought him toward him.
“Brat, you really are my lucky ticket. Hahaha…not only you have brought me the Golden ticket that I have been eyeing for ages, but you also help me break through my cultivation base.” Yuwen Tao laughed loudly and continued speaking, “Without your last Heavenly Tribulation passing through you and hitting me under the riverbed, I would have surely failed this time. But, heeheehee….you help me big this time. As a reward, I will kill you slowly and more painfully. Muahahaha…”
Joey was in a coma at the moment. The only thing that would make others believe he was still alive, was his slowly beating heart.
Yuwen Tao chanted a spell using his spell and shouted, “My Poison Dao, go!” A black foul and fishy-smelling ball the size of an apple came out from his hands and sent it toward Joey. It entered Joey directly through the chest. It was the exact same poison that poisoned his wife, Hai Yun.
“Aaaahhhrr…!!” The moment it made contact with his body, Joey started screaming in pain.
