"At last, the wait is over!"
Lin Fan was thrilled. A hazy strand of immortal qi emerged outside his body, about to take form. It was his third strand of immortal qi.
Yet before he could rejoice for long, the heavenly lightning erupted. Another upheaval occurred, and all the bolts crashed down, engulfing the void.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Lin Fan felt his heart pound with alarm. A chill swept through him, as though the end of the world were descending, raising goosebumps across his skin.
"That's..." His instincts warned him that the true catastrophe was coming. His life might be at stake.
Boom!
Sure enough, heavenly lightning rolled and gave birth to countless creatures. Their deafening roars shook the air as they all lunged at him, terrifying beyond measure.
Every one of them was extraordinary, wreathed in dense lightning. A single roar unleashed hundreds of millions of thunderbolts that smashed into his body.
Lin Fan coughed up great mouthfuls of blood. Charred all over, his hair hanging loose, he battled swarms of fierce beasts and fierce birds.
Now his earlier preparations proved their worth. Even surrounded and besieged, he remained composed, slaying one opponent after another.
The slain divine birds and birds of prey dissolved into showers of light, which Lin Fan absorbed to nourish that strand of immortal qi, making it more solid.
Soon, all the creatures formed from lightning vanished. Lin Fan charged upward into the depths of the dark clouds, reaching the next layer of heaven.
Clang!
Yet when he reached the next trial, the most terrifying thing happened. A cold gleam flashed, and blade qi swept in all directions.
An executioner's blade hung above him. Even the Lightning Sea was briefly shaken apart, and heaven, earth, and all things appeared once more.
"Heavens, what is that?" In
