460: Chapter 459 Carrying the Last Blow

Chu Xuan's figure vanished in an instant.

When he reappeared, he had teleported next to the Giant Egg not far away, which was making excited noises as it continuously sucked up high-grade life essence, and he hugged it tightly.

At the same time, a bolt of lightning like a swimming dragon struck straight down.

As the thunder roared, plasma splattered everywhere. Chu Xuan and the Giant Egg were both covered in continuous electrical currents, and the surrounding ground, already scorched earth, churned once more.

[You have taken true damage from the Lightning Tribulation; your health points -910...]

[Current health points: 258]

"It really works!"

Although Chu Xuan's body was extremely weak and in a state of heavy injury, fortunately, he wasn't dead. Just as he had expected, this Giant Egg could absorb the power of lightning.

For an identical bolt of Lightning Tribulation, he had just lost 3,800 points, but this time he lost less than 1,000 health points.

"human pet, are you trying to kill me? I haven't even been born yet; I can't quite handle this heavenly lightning!" The Giant Egg cried out in anger, but it didn't seem to be a major problem; there were just a few more cracks on its outer shell.

Chu Xuan gave it a light pat, his voice very weak: "Stop shouting. I'll give you more high-grade life essence later."

"Alright then, I'll forgive you for now, but you can't screw me over again..."

Chu Xuan didn't finish listening to the Giant Egg's words. He suddenly felt something was wrong and saw that a dense cloud had gathered overhead at some point, with faint flashes of lightning.

"Again?!" Chu Xuan was slightly startled and subconsciously raised the Giant Egg he was holding above his head.

"Nooo!!"

As the Giant Egg's panicked cries rang out, another bolt of lightning struck down. It even seemed slightly thicker than before, comparable to a water bucket, and appeared deep purple.

Boom!!

[You have taken true damage from the Lightning Tribulation; your health points have been depleted.]

[You have died.]

...

"Never trust anyone..."

"..."

In a daze, Chu Xuan woke up from the dream. He felt his body was still slightly numb, but when he came to his senses a moment later, he realized it was just a physical illusion.

spirituality value: 12135.

"I just died once and entered the dream again..."

Chu Xuan didn't need to take out his phone to check; he already realized the reason: "Is it because I used the Giant Egg to block it that there was an extra bolt of Lightning Tribulation?"

"Hey! No way? You only slept for such a short while and that's enough?"

Not far away, the Giant Egg atop the greed tank wobbled and made a dissatisfied sound: "I wanted to savor it slowly!"

Chu Xuan didn't reply but suddenly looked up at the sky.

At some point, the sky had become covered with dark clouds, and lightning was faintly visible.

"There's still a Lightning Tribulation in the second-level dream?"

Chu Xuan was slightly startled. Without thinking much, his figure flashed, and he teleported directly next to the Giant Egg, raising it above his head with his hands.

"Hey! What are you doing?" The Giant Egg made a stunned sound: "Don't think you can bully me just because you gave me life essence..."

Before it could finish its sentence.

A bolt of lightning had already crashed down.

Boom!

[You have taken true damage from the Lightning Tribulation; your health points -520...]

"Waah! Are you trying to kill this Emperor?"

The Giant Egg roared, struggling and wobbling constantly, trying to break free, but it was held firmly by Chu Xuan above his head.

"Don't move. Help me withstand one more bolt of Lightning Tribulation, and I'll give you fifty catties of high-grade life essence!"

The Giant Egg immediately stopped wobbling, its tone slightly hesitant: "Really?"

"Guaranteed!"

Just as Chu Xuan finished speaking, a second, stronger bolt of lightning roared down, as thick as a water bucket and clearly deep purple.

Boom!!

The surroundings were completely charred.

[You have taken true damage from the Lightning Tribulation; your health points -910...]

"Waah! This heavenly lightning is too fierce; I'm going to break..." The Giant Egg struggled again.

"Wait, help me withstand one last bolt of Lightning Tribulation, and I'll give you a hundred catties of high-grade life essence..." Just as Chu Xuan was speaking, the third bolt of lightning struck down.

[Your health points -1040...]

In the sky, the dark clouds still hadn't dispersed.

"Put me down quickly, I really can't take it anymore..." The Giant Egg wobbled violently, with a hint of a sob in its voice.

"The last one, this is really the last one! Withstand this one, and from now on, you'll have all the life essence you can handle; you can drink as much as you want!" Chu Xuan steadied the Giant Egg and held it above his head.

"This..." The Giant Egg hesitated again.

Boom!!

Lightning crashed down ferociously.

All around was scorched earth; trees were blown apart, turning into charcoal, and flames burned fiercely.

[Your health points -1180...]

Along with the System's notification, the dark clouds in the sky finally began to disperse. Chu Xuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, while the Giant Egg was covered in cracks, making clicking sounds as if it were about to shatter.

"Please, put me down quickly, I don't want your life essence anymore..."

The Giant Egg let out a wail, and as it wobbled frantically, Chu Xuan didn't hold on tight this time, letting it jump away.

"You said it yourself." Chu Xuan grinned.

Realizing that the dark clouds in the sky had dispersed and there would be no more Lightning Tribulation, the Giant Egg jumped around in anger.

Chu Xuan chuckled and took out a fresh, full tank of life essence and tossed it to the other party: "This whole tank is yours, and there will be more later."

"At least you have a bit of a conscience." The Giant Egg hummed a few times and stopped complaining.

Chu Xuan took a deep breath and took out his phone from the Exclusive Space again.

Upon looking at it, he was suddenly stunned.
