I Am Overlord

Chapter 1418: Primal Chaos Lightning

Reversing the cosmos was basically an act of defying the heavens. Thus, not even the heavenly dao could tolerate the existence of Xiang Shaoyun's physique. And therefore, the divine retribution had arrived for him. If he couldn't survive the tribulation, he would perish, and all his hard work would have all been for nothing.

"What a terrifying lightning tribulation. That is purple yang lightning. Not even Saints can resist such lightning," a Saint cried out in alarm.

"The lightning tribulation is merciless. We should get farther away," said someone else.

But before they could move, Xiang Shaoyun had already split the space and appeared high in the sky. His entire person radiated a dazzling nine-colored radiance as he threw his fist at the sky. With a boundlessly domineering fist, he welcomed the lightning tribulation! With a savage force, he punched the purple yang lightning bolts apart without suffering any damage.

All the Saints were stunned. Generally, lightning tribulations would only appear when demonic beasts advanced. Each lightning tribulation was terrifyingly powerful. Everyone was fearful of it, but Xiang Shaoyun was the opposite. He actually took the initiative to attack the tribulation and even successfully crushed the tribulation. What a monster!

What they didn't know was that an even more monstrous performance awaited them. After crushing the lightning bolts, Xiang Shaoyun inhaled deeply and absorbed all the lightning energy around him. His primal inception energy started growing rapidly. Was that something a human was supposed to be able to do?

Just because the purple yang lightning couldn't do anything to Xiang Shaoyun, it did not mean that the tribulation was over. On the contrary, the tribulation was just getting started.

Dual-colored lightning appeared in the sky. This lightning power was known as windsplit lightning. Not only did it contain the destructiveness of lightning, but it also contained the tearing force of wind. It was much more terrifying than purple yang lightning.

As Xiang Shaoyun's long hair whipped about madly, his eyes were as bright as the sun and the moon, and his entire person seemed to have transformed into a dragon. Facing the sky, he howled with laughter and said, "Since the heavenly dao is unwilling to tolerate this overlord, I shall break this heaven!"

He punched rapidly, each punch possessing an overbearing force that shattered one lightning bolt after another. The scattered lightning energy was all absorbed into his body to further enhance his combat strength. He was akin to a bottomless pit that could absorb all energy in existence.

With the splitwind lightning being incapable of harming Xiang Shaoyun, the tribulation changed again. A five-colored lightning power appeared in the sky, shocking all the people in the imperial city.

"That is the legendary primal chaos lightning! It has actually appeared?" someone exclaimed in alarm.

"Primal chaos lightning is one of the most terrifying lightning powers to ever exist. Even a Great Saint would fear such power! This lightning is as valuable as a second life for someone with a pure lightning physique!

"Unfortunately, this lightning power is part of a tribulation. Otherwise, we can try to get some for ourselves. What a pity. Truly a pity."

"Can that young king of Saints even survive this tribulation? If he can, then he will truly be worthy of being ranked first on the ranking."

"Truly worthy of being the direct disciple of a lord guardian. He has achieved the impossible and stepped on the path to the apex. Looks like chaotic times are coming."

...

The primal chaos lightning was something that would only occasionally appear beyond the heavens. Apart from Gods, nobody would dare to approach such lightning. For Xiang Shaoyun to attract such lightning as his tribulation, one could say that he was truly striving against the heavens!

Xiang Shaoyun felt a sense of danger from the lightning and started drawing even more of the primal inception energy from his astral cosmos sea. Phantoms of a dragon and a tiger manifested around his fist as he threw it at the sky.

Cosmos Dao Destroying Fist!

This was a fist technique meant to destroy daos, and it could smash even the sky apart. But when the punch struck the primal chaos lightning bolt, only half the lightning bolt was destroyed. The remaining half still managed to strike Xiang Shaoyun.

His filthless body started shining with a nine-colored radiance as he resisted the lightning bolt with his newly gained god body. His entire body was assaulted with massive pain, but this amount of pain was still within his limits.

"All of you, shatter!" Xiang Shaoyun roared domineeringly as he charged at the remaining lightning bolts while throwing out punch after punch.

The heavenly dao grew increasingly furious as the primal chaos lightning bolts became stronger and stronger. Xiang Shaoyun's entire body was torched black by the lightning bolts, and his blood flowed. Even his bones were visible from the deep wounds on his body. He looked incomparably sorry.

Even so, he continued pushing against the heavens as though he knew no pain. He punched again and again, incessantly drawing upon his primal inception energy while supporting his body with the profundity of life. Like an untiring barbaric dragon, he dove right into the ocean of lightning in the sky.

Not even a Great Saint would dare approach an ocean of primal chaos lightning. For many, Xiang Shaoyun was simply behaving like a madman. After diving into the ocean of lightning, numerous explosions erupted and massively damaged his body. It reached a point where not even the profundity of life could heal his body fast enough to keep up with the damage.

At this time, Xiang Shaoyun activated the Limit Stimulation Technique and forcefully absorbed the primal chaos lightning into his body. With the primal chaos lightning and the Limit Stimulation Technique, he started tempering his astral cosmos sea, trying to complete the final parts of the astral cosmos sea's transformation.

The astral cosmos sea had become much bigger than before. It was as big as a city and contained all sorts of energies and items. Such an astral cosmos sea was beyond a regular person's imagination. Even so, Xiang Shaoyun was still not satisfied with it. He wanted to use the Limit Stimulation Technique to perfect his astral cosmos sea.

As the primal chaos lightning entered the astral cosmos sea and the Limit Stimulation Technique activated, the astral cosmos sea was greatly damaged. However, the astral cosmos sea that had taken a corporeal form had become incomparably tough. It was as durable as a god-grade stone. Not even the primal chaos lightning was enough to fully destroy it.

"Come in together!" Xiang Shaoyun roared as he absorbed even more primal chaos lightning into his body.

Numerous explosions erupted within his body, almost blasting his body apart. An intense pain assaulted him, nearly knocking him unconscious. Under the relentless assault, cracks appeared on his astral cosmos sea. His act of tempering the astral cosmos sea was no different from suicide.

However, Xiang Shaoyun clenched his teeth and chanted the Desolation mantra, fusing the primal chaos lightning with the primal inception energy, forcing the astral cosmos sea to expand even further. As that happened, he slowly gained immunity to the primal chaos lightning. This meant that he had already tempered himself as much as he could with the primal chaos lightning. It was time to harvest his rewards. At this time, Xiang Shaoyun's gaze landed on the drops of five-colored liquid in the midst of the primal chaos lightning. Instantly, he became spirited.
