202: Prove God on the Spot

The Soul-Devouring Spirit was very strong, and its various Skills made Xu Le salivate, but compared to Mental Energy, it was far behind Xu Le.

Buzz!

Before he could even fully sense the power of his Contracted Spirit, Xu Le suddenly felt the entire world change.

It was like a shrunken piece of clothing, tightly binding his entire body so that he couldn't even stretch.

With just a bit of force, he could tear the clothing to pieces.

This feeling had existed since he reached Rank 90, but now after contracting Ghost, the sensation was so intense it almost drove him mad.

His attributes were too high!

Even without any additional equipment attributes, all his four-dimensional attributes exceeded 20,000 points.

It was as if he had broken through some kind of boundary; the world could not quite withstand him and was squeezing him tightly.

"It's a pity the monsters weren't all wiped out, the Abyss wasn't cleared in time, and the culprit releasing the Devilish Qi wasn't caught."

Xu Le felt some regret, but the entire world was squeezing him so hard that he didn't even dare to use 'Wormhole Shuttle,' fearing that once he entered the wormhole, he would never be able to return.

He was like a bacterium in a body, being collectively strangled by the white blood cells of the entire world.

"If I had known, I would have waited to form the contract!"

"However, since I've already come this far, then let me become a god!"

Xu Le imagined splitting open the Void Realm and attaining godhood on the spot.

Regardless of any schemes, since he had reached this point, there was no need to hesitate.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh... The Heavenly Dao in the darkness sensed Xu Le's thoughts.

Instantly, thunderclouds gathered and fierce winds howled.

Compared to Old Man Liu's attempt, Xu Le truly felt the wrath of the Heavenly Dao this time.

It was like a maddened bull, letting out an angry roar at the insect that dared to provoke it.

It was even angrier than when Old Man Liu attained godhood!

The sky was falling!

This was Xu Le's feeling at this moment.

Purple World-Destroying Divine Lightning rolled continuously, brewing even more terrifying bolts.

The world was filled with anger—a deep sense of betrayal that was unforgivable and inescapable.

It wanted to use the most ruthless attitude to destroy the traitor!

"A traitor?"

Xu Le murmured to himself, his gaze toward the thunderclouds in the sky becoming even more determined.

"No matter what you think, I am definitely becoming a god!"

Crack!

A bolt of purple lightning tinged with black struck down!

Its color was close to that of Chaos Divine Thunder, and its power was so great that if left unblocked, it would directly pierce through the Blue Star.

Truly a moronic Heavenly Dao!

Xu Le waved his scythe of death staff, and a bolt of lightning shot out in response.

Boom!

The Chain Lightning imbued with divinity was a match for the purple lightning; they tore and tangled with each other until the Chain Lightning was slightly outmatched and completely annihilated by the purple lightning.

However, the remaining power of the purple lightning was not great, and it only felt like a tingle when it hit Xu Le.

Boom, boom, boom... Nine consecutive lightning bolts shattered the Void Realm and crashed down from the firmament.

Thousand-Year Fish widened its mouth: "This moronic Heavenly Dao of yours is giving you no way out at all. It's increasing ninefold. If nine more Lightning Tribulations come, the last wave will be 387,420,489 World-Destroying Divine Lightnings—I won't be able to hold out."

Thousand-Year Fish was his contracted beast and could help him share half of the Lightning Tribulation, while the other half would have to be endured by him and his other contracted beasts.

After all, this wasn't just the Lightning Tribulation of a single contracted beast.

"Master, let me!"

Little Silly Crow volunteered, flapping its wings to meet the other four purple lightnings.

Gah~

Little Silly Crow was knocked unconscious by just one bolt of purple lightning, its entire body charred black, its messy feathers losing their luster, and its sharp beak seeping blood as purple electric arcs flowed faintly over it.

It was too tragic!

If not for sharing the effect of the Divine Artifact 'a little more', it probably would have been gone instantly.

The other contracted beasts gasped. Fortunately, Little Peach Tree had grown tall enough and possessed the 'Spiritual Shield' talent, allowing it to catch the remaining three lightning bolts, though the price was its leaves turning yellow and withered as the destructive aura of the lightning mixed with its vitality.

Even with the 'Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root' talent, it could not quickly recover health until the destructive aura of the lightning was removed.

The thunderclouds grew thicker, and the atmosphere of anger in the world became even more concentrated.

Seeing countless purple lightnings darting through the clouds without striking, it was clear that the Dao was preparing to unleash eighty-one bolts at once, giving Xu Le no chance to breathe.

Boom, boom, boom... Just as Xu Le suspected, eighty-one lightning bolts struck down simultaneously, giving Xu Le almost no chance of survival.

"Darn! You moron, you're really freaking ruthless!"

Thousand-Year Fish cursed under its breath. Unless Xu Le only faced three waves of lightning, it wouldn't be able to hold out even if there were six.

A total of 531,441 purple lightnings would strike down simultaneously; even with his powerful Physical Body, he couldn't handle half of them.

More importantly, with the Heavenly Dao being this ruthless, it was unlikely to stop at six waves.

"Should I run?"

"But I'm so reluctant to leave!"

Thousand-Year Fish cursed itself for being crazy, but even though it was a Lightning Tribulation it was destined not to withstand, it still took its true form and blocked 41 purple lightnings.

As the other 40 purple lightnings crashed down, Little Black Snake took the initiative to meet them.

Boom, boom, boom... Little Black Snake bathed in the purple lightning, becoming a giant purple python. It twisted its serpentine body like a tree that covered the sky, catching all the lightning bolts one by one.

With its terrifying 300,000 health points and damage reduction talent, it managed to endure them directly.

And standing tall in the sky, it could still handle another batch of the Lightning Tribulation.

Xu Le looked up at Little Black Snake; its scales were flying everywhere, and it didn't say a word, yet it protected him firmly.

To keep him from worrying, it even held its upper body straight, looking down on the heavens.

The Spiritual Domain provided by Little Peach Tree continuously healed the injuries of Little Black Snake and Little Silly Crow. It finally extinguished the lightning power within itself as well, returning to full health in just a few breaths.

Rumble~

In the sky, the thunderclouds continued to spread outward. The next wave of the Lightning Tribulation was delayed, clearly planning to drop 729 lightning bolts at once, following the same pattern as before.

As they fell, the lightnings would merge into one. That power wasn't a simple addition of 729 bolts; by bypassing defenses 728 times, it would be a terrifying figure.
