290: Absorbing the Godhead of Thunder
It's not that Shao Jue and the others from the Royal Family aren't powerful; it's just that beneath the Gods, all are ants.
Even the strongest Supreme is merely a slightly stronger ant, which is useless.
Unless this ant can reach the realm of Ye Kong, then the situation would be different; that would be to pretend to be a pig to eat the tiger.
"Young Lord, rest assured, since Ye Kong has caused such a phenomenon at this time, it must be a natural progression. Otherwise, with Ye Kong's personality, why would he take such a risk!" Shao Jue comforted.
Although Ye Kong didn't explicitly state the reason for his seclusion before Cultivating, judging from his relaxed expression before entering seclusion, whatever Ye Kong intended to do was definitely a sure thing; he just needed some time to prepare.
Although Wang Jian was not a person good at schemes, having commanded the Royal Family for so long, he naturally could see some things.
"Hmm!" Wang Jian's worries slightly decreased when he heard Shao Jue say this.
Cao Zhan and the strong cultivators of the Royal Family also paid attention to Shao Jue's words; they were also worried about Ye Kong.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Just then, Xue Ruyu and He Ya, the Young Lord of the He Family, also arrived at the Land of the Gods. Seeing that Wang Jian and the others were already there, they all moved closer.
Before this, He Ya, the Young Lord of the He Family, had already come to the Land of the Gods to investigate. At that time, the thunder clouds above the Land of the Gods were not as terrifying as they were now, only emanating a faint pressure.
Seeing this phenomenon, she was also full of worry, but she dared not rashly break into the formation, fearing that she would disturb Ye Kong, who was in seclusion, and cause serious consequences.
In fact, even if she wanted to break through, it would be useless and would only add to her injuries.
The rolling Divine Lightning and Heavenly Dao's might had been fully activated by Ye Kong after he entered seclusion, and its power could already rival a full-strength attack from a God.
He Ya had come to the Land of the Gods no less than ten times. Each time she came, the thunder clouds covering the sky above the Land of the Gods grew a bit denser, and the Heavenly Dao's might became even more terrifying, until the scene today.
On a side note, He Ya, the Young Lord of the He Family, a Kyoto God Clans, intended to befriend Ye Kong and wanted to follow the Imperial Faction route, but her Family had not yet decided.
"Greetings to all the powerful Royal Family members!" Xue Ruyu and He Ya bowed to Wang Jian and the others.
"You two, no need for formalities!" Wang Jian waved his hand lightly and said, then after the two stood still, he asked, "He Ya, has your Family made a decision? Which path will you take?"
"The Family is currently in intense discussion and there are no concrete results yet. However, the New Imperial Capital Faction seems to have sent someone to lobby my father!" He Ya pondered for a moment before speaking.
"Oh, tell us!" Everyone was startled by He Ya's words and looked at her with surprise.
He Ya slowly said, "The New Imperial Capital Faction heard that the Young Lord left Ye Kong, so they sent people to lobby the Four Great Divine Families, wanting to change the Royal Family. I'm not sure what exactly they said."
"But Father didn't accept and drove him out."
"So that's how it is!" Hearing He Ya's words, everyone suddenly understood and a hint of joy appeared on their faces.
However, after Cao Zhan heard it, his expression became solemn, subtly filled with worry.
After all, although the He Family didn't welcome the New Imperial Capital Faction's persuader, other Families might not be the same.
Now, everyone could only refocus their attention on Ye Kong; only with Ye Kong's increase in strength could everyone speak with more confidence.
Dignity only lies at the tip of the sword!
The Land of the Gods was covered by thunder clouds, and the rolling Heavenly Dao's might shook the universe. Wang Jian and the others looked at the surging thunder with solemn expressions, resisting the intimidating Heavenly Dao's might, as if they had some realization.
This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. By using the pervasive Heavenly Dao's might to comprehend the momentum of the Heavenly Dao, there was a good chance to benefit from it and achieve a Breakthrough.
Although everyone was worried about Ye Kong's safety, they could only stare helplessly, unable to help Ye Kong. Instead of waiting idly, it was better to comprehend while waiting for Ye Kong to emerge from seclusion.
However, everyone was ultimately concerned about Ye Kong, and even such a rare opportunity could not sever this bond. Everyone found it difficult to calm down and carefully comprehend the mysteries within.
Just then, two more figures descended from high in the sky; they were two Gods.
"Greetings, Divine Lords!" Everyone present bowed to the He Family God Ancestor and the Yu Family God Ancestor.
"Greetings, Fellow Daoists!" The He Family God Ancestor and the Yu Family God Ancestor returned the greeting.
Although they were both Supreme beings in Dragon Country, this title of Supreme was somewhat undeserved; the Ye Family God Ancestor and the Divine Ancestor of the Long Family didn't even put them in their eyes.
Both the He and Yu Gods were Intermediate Gods, while the Long and Ye Gods were Upper-level Gods, which is why they looked down on the He Family and the Yu Family.
Ever since Ye Kong entered seclusion, the Royal Family Disciples had quieted down, and Wang Jian naturally acted discreetly. The Royal Family's prestige had also been suppressed considerably by the Ye Family and the Long Family.
After exchanging greetings with everyone, the He Family God Ancestor and the Yu Family God Ancestor exchanged a few pleasantries with Wang Jian and the others, then stood side by side, looking at the thunder clouds emitting bright Thunder Light with solemn expressions, becoming deeply worried.
"Rumble! Rumble!" Rolling thunder came from the thunder clouds. One could vaguely see the thunder, transformed into Divine Beasts like Dragons, Phoenix, and Qilin, rolling in the clouds, and ten thousand feet of Thunder Light illuminated the sky.
The already daunting Heavenly Dao's might also intensified by a few points, and the sky itself was shaken, hissing with low rumblings.
"Crackling!" Divine Thunderbolts, like whips, lashed fiercely in the sky, causing black cracks to appear in the heavens, echoing the abyss-like, prison-like Heavenly Dao's might.
The sound of thunder was like a judgment, sending shivers down one's spine.
The thunder clouds covering the Land of the Gods continuously dissipated and ascended amidst the ten thousand feet of Thunder Light, gathering towards the sky above the highest mountain range of the Land of the Gods. The scenery of the Land of the Gods gradually appeared before everyone's eyes.
The ascending thunder clouds finally transformed into a sheet of thunder floating high in the sky, and streaks of Divine Lightning fell from the thunder, striking towards the mountain range.
However, these Divine Thunderbolts suddenly stopped just as they were about to reach Yunhua Mountain, hovering outside the mountain with rolling thunderous roars. This scene was truly bizarre.
But what was even more bizarre was that, upon careful counting, the number of falling Divine Thunderbolts was exactly ten thousand.
Although Ye Kong had summoned ten thousand Divine Thunderbolts several times, he basically ran out of True Qi before he could use that many.
"Rumble!" The thunder high in the sky continued to roll. After a few breaths, a giant eyeball could be seen slowly turning in the depths of the thunder. As the thunder eye opened and closed, Thunder Light dispersed.
The Heavenly Dao's might spread out like ripples, surging in the sky, lingering for a long time.
This scene continued for a long time until the giant eye in the depths of the thunder gradually shrank, and only then did the constantly spreading Heavenly Dao's might come to an end. However, the atmosphere in the sky did not lighten because of this; instead, it became even more oppressive and uncomfortable!
