Mitsu called people and told them it is an emergency. Shi Lang was absorbing too much spiritual energy too quickly. Mitsu did not have much knowledge, but she knew that too much spiritual energy intake was harmful to the practitioner.
The spirit-gathering array was not helping the situation, it was like Shi Lang was a black hole and nothing could escape his grasp. The cottage was shivering, and Amelia used her special ability to come over. She flew so fast that she almost reached the speed of sound.
She looked at the situation and before Mitsu could say anything, she said, "He is moving towards a breakthrough to reach the peak of the primal soul realm. There will be a tribulation following this. We need to have this place evacuated and none of the soldiers in the base should cultivate when the tribulation is taking place, or it might go after them."
Mitsu nodded and said, "I will ask Commander Silence to arrange this."
The two ladies stood there while waiting for Commander Silence. Amelia said, "We need to get away from this place as well so that we do not get implicated in the tribulation."
Mitsu nodded and asked, "Ma'am, what about the spirit gathering array?"
Amelia said, "We can leave it the way it is, he will need all the spiritual energy that he can find to digest the impact of the heavenly tribulation."
Mitsu nodded and then the two ladies left the place. Commander Silence arrived quickly too, and she issued orders for the soldiers to stop cultivating none of them were allowed to approach the house.
The instructions did cause a huge fiasco in the base, but nobody dared to say anything, Commander Silence was not known for being tolerant.
…
As the three ladies were moving in the distance, there were dark clouds were gathering in the sky. The scenery of a pleasant day had turned into a dark night so quickly that it almost surprised the people all over the city.
Shi Lang was lying inside the med bay, and his limbs started twitching. Gradually he opened his eyes and sighed. He sat up and looked around he was actually surprised. His mind was affected by spending a hundred years inside the Shura Realm.
Slowly the memories started to come back to him and his eyes regained their usual sharpness. He stood up on his feet, and after stretching his body. Then he walked out of the room.
The darkness outside caught his attention and when he looked at the dark sky. He smiled and said, "Give me a few minutes, I need to see someone. It has been hundred years since I have seen her."
The clouds thundered and then Shi Lang rushed toward the figure locked in his spiritual sense. In an instant, he appeared in front of Amelia and said, "Long time no see love."
Amelia smiled and said, "Go and clear this tribulation first."
Shi Lang smiled, he stole a kiss and then rushed back into the center of the spirit gathering array and said, "You can come now."
The clouds thundered and then a red lightning streak hit Shi Lang square on his chest. The impact was so strong that the cottage behind him was directly obliterated. The ground trembled and the three ladies were forced to take half a step back.
They all used their own skills to check on Shi Lang and found the guy standing in his place, but only his shirt was missing. The second streak of lightning did not even give me the chance for the people to be ready.
The impact was twice stronger and Shi Lang was pushed back, by three steps leaving three deep footsteps. This was followed by the third and the fourth streak of lightning. The young man has pushed back ten meters away from where he stood.
Amelia looked at him and said, "This is better than what he was when facing the lightning."
Mitsu nodded and they both looked at Commander Silence as she stood in silence with her mouth slightly ajar. She asked, "Has he done this before?"
Mitsu replied, "Twice before. This is the third time in this realm. The Primal Soul realm. If you channel your spiritual energy inside your eyes, you will be able to see what is going on inside his body."
Commander Silence nodded and started channeling the spirit energy inside her eyes, and she saw that the heavenly lightning was made of spirit energy and it was condensed to the point where the destructive power had reached another level.
However, as the lightning hit Shi Lang, while some of the energy was dispersed, most of it was absorbed by his body, the spirit energy destroyed his body and at the same time it constructed it too, making it better than what it was before.
Commander Silence was even more surprised. She asked, "Is he unable to sense pain?"
Amelia smiled and said, "Focus on his jawline, and you will know."
Shi Lang was facing all the things with his jaw gritting hard. Amelia said, "The best way to get clear of the heavenly tribulation is to grit your teeth and let it destroy you. Every time you are destroyed, the spirit energy you absorb helps reconstruct your body. Every cycle of pain brings a newborn strength."
This statement left the commander a bit too shocked at everything. She looked at Shi Lang, who was facing the sixth lightning bolt as if it was nothing, and her blood boiled.
Mitsu said, "Control your intent, Commander, you do not wish to face that lightning at your current level."
Although the status of the Commander was higher in rank, the strength commanded by the Ace division was far higher than her. Shi Lang was the uncrowned king and so his minions got to mock the country bumpkins.
…
Shi Lang raised his head as he stood on the burnt ground and said, "Damn this is hard."
The clouds began to ramble loudly, and the lightning changed color from red to purple. Shi Lang gulped a mouthful of saliva and took out his sword from his space ring. He assumed his stance as the young man was aware that he will not be able to face the lightning strike with his body only.
The lightning crackled and then the streak of lightning fell toward Shi Lang. This streak was different, it was simply burning the air around it. Shi Lang raised his sword and then he took one step forward and then slashed at the incoming lightning streak.
The lighting streak and the sword slash collided, they were both condensed into solid. A loud explosion shook the void and the three people put up their spirit energy screens to face the shockwave and still they were pushed back by a few meters.
However, Shi Lang was not the same as them. His hair was disheveled, and the sword slash did not manage to completely negate the lightning streak and some of it still managed to hit him and left him with a gory wound.
He quickly mobilized his spiritual energy and the wound began to close slowly. Shi Lang took deep breaths and said in a loud voice, "Come at me."
His hair turned longer and his body began to emit a stronger murderous aura. The lightning was offended by this mortal challenging it so bluntly. Shi Lang did not have to repeat himself when the lightning streak turned into a dragon and charged at him.
Shi Lang looked at the dragon and then he channeled his energy inside the sword and let the slash out. The attack was like a red streak and Shi Lang said, "Shura Sword, first slash."
The attack clashed with the dragon and after a few seconds it vanished, and then the dragon continued moving forward. Shi Lang also did not stop attacking either, his slashes kept coming without a break.
After ten slashes the lightning dragon faded a bit. By that time the dragon had reached Shi Lang and the young man was hit hard.
Shi Lang lost his footing and then he was flung away for a big distance. The young man was injured, he was riddled with cut wounds, and although they were healing fast, it was still there. Amelia saw all this and clenched her fist. She was worried about him and then she looked at the sky. The tribulation was still broiling.
Shi Lang moved slightly as his wounds healed over slowly. He sat up from the ground and looked at his sword and said, "Today, we give you a name. Come let us slay this beast."
The thunder rumbled and then the lightning toward him. This time the lightning had morphed into a dragon with five claws. Shi Lang raised his head to the sky and jumped up as he said in a low voice, "Slashing Heaven."
The next moment, he vanished from his spot and appeared behind the dragon.
Mitsu was shocked, and taking a step forward she said, "His heart stopped."
