--- Chapter 316 ---
Rumble! Rumble!
Thunderclouds gathered in the atmosphere, covering the entire sky above the Demon Imperial City. Thunderclap echoed one after another as if God showed dissatisfaction toward the mortal world.
A flicker of silver-colored lightning dragon swam in the thunderclouds, causing anyone who had sensed it with their profound sense to have a little heart attack.
This silver lightning dragon is dangerous! Even the patriarchs of Twelve Guardian Families felt a horror coming from these thunderclouds.
Yun Canghai, who got bandaged like a mummy, stared at the terrifying thunderclouds with a solemn look.
He saw a lone figure above the Demon Imperial Palace, causing his eyes to widen in disbelief, "What the hell is that brat trying to do?! Damn, don't tell me he's going to resist the Lightning Calamity?"
Although Yun Canghai hasn't experienced nor seen "Lightning Calamity" personally, don't forget that the Yun Family was 'originally' from the upper realm, so they still have some incomplete inheritance and records about the Lightning Tribulations.
The extreme thunderclouds and the silver lightning dragons fit the criteria of Lightning Calamity.
However, this is not a good thing.
"Void-Killing Tribulation..." Yun Canghai recalled the ancient records of his family. "Can Yu Long endure such a thing?"
"Even though he was a monster, there must be a limit to it, right?"
"No, wait." Yun Canghai remembered something. "That brat once said that the [Way of Thunderer] is just a weakened version of lightning-attributed Profound Art he cultivated, so maybe he has a chance to utilize this Void-Killing Lightning Calamity as his source of power."
"Since Xiao Che and I could use the destructive power of lightning to temper ourselves, Yu Long should be able to do the same."
Unfortunately, Yun Canghai didn't know about the Evil God's Lightning Seed. If Yun Canghai knew, he would have 100% confidence in Yu Long conquering this legendary Lightning Calamity.
"Don't die, kid." Yun Canghai clenched his hand hard, ignoring the pain from his injury.
"I haven't paid back your favor, especially for my two grandsons."
...
...
Meanwhile, Yu Long stared at the terrifying thunderclouds with a calm look. He was unfazed by the brewing power behind this Lightning Calamity.
Even though the intensity of this Lightning Calamity could injure Yu Long as it embodies the very power of void, it couldn't kill him.
Yu Long's body released golden electricity, trying to match the intensity of Lightning Calamity. At the same time, he also brought out the Evil God's Lightning Seed and an Essence Sphere.
He looked at the purple-gold Essence Sphere and chuckled, "Who would have thought I would use it this soon? It took a while to synthesize this Essence Sphere."
"But I guess it's worth the pain."
He glanced at the Demon Imperial Palace and saw the anxious Huan Caiyi and others. He shook his head gently because he would do the same if they encountered things like this.
Below the palace, Thalia is striking the Symbionite with extreme care and sweating profusely. Chu Yuechan stood beside her, keeping her bloodline drop on the hot metal.
Every hammer strike brings the metal to perfection.
Every blood drop brings the metal closer to gaining spirituality.
They didn't dare to make a single mistake, especially Thalia.
Thalia always dreamed of surpassing her father's skill in making things, and becoming a "Divine Blacksmith" was just the first step. However, if she failed here, she might have no more chances to surpass him.
It was a purely instinctual sensation coming from her very soul.
The truth is Thalia knew she had no time to improve herself. The people from Olympus will come to this planet sooner or later.
WOOSH!
At this moment, Thalia didn't realize she had entered a trance.
The piled power of Hinokagutsuchi throughout Kurogane's generations burst from her soul. White flame burst from Thalia's chest, mouth, eyes, and hands, but she didn't feel uncomfortable or hot.
Her burning eyes never left the metal on the anvil.
Chu Yuechan was shocked by Thalia's state because she felt threatened by her "White Flame" form. She felt this flame could melt her ice elements away.
"This is the power from Master's former world? How terrifying!" She didn't know that [Hinokagutsuchi] was a special case. Yet, Chu Yuechan's vision was 'naturally' broadened.
Crack!
"Not good." Chu Yuechan looked down and noticed the ground cracked rapidly because it couldn't handle Thalia's continuous hammering.
She gritted her teeth and used her ice power, freezing the ground to make it solid again. Even then, Chu Yuechan didn't know how long the ice could last, as Thalia's flame also affected the area.
Back to Yu Long, he observed the thunderclouds and finally saw a head poking out of the darkness.
"Here, it comes..."
ROOOOOOOOOARRR!
A silver dragon made of pure electricity descended from the sky. The size of this beast alone is several kilometers long, so the energy within it is no joke.
Everyone in the Demon Imperial City paled upon seeing this.
To them, this silver dragon is nothing but a death sentence.
Some prayed.
Some howled in resistance.
Some cried.
Their lives flashed before their eyes.
Yu Long soared to the sky, charging at the silver dragon fearlessly.
He grinned, "Art of Thunder and Lightning - 1st Form: Thunder Dragon Emperor's Descent!"
BOOM!
Before everyone's eyes, Yu Long's body transformed into a golden dragon made of lightning force. Although the golden dragon isn't as big as the silver dragon, the energy emitted is equal.
ROAR!
The silver dragon roared at Yu Long, sending a concentrated lightning beam at him.
Yu Long mimicked the silver dragon and sent a lightning beam.
BOOOOOOOOOOM!!
Silver and golden light exploded in the sky, creating a wide thunder field that made nature tremble.
The Evil God's Lightning Seed in Yu Long's hand devoured the power of the silver dragon.
"My lord, do you need help?" Several Kaiju in the Kaiju World couldn't help but ask.
Yu Long chuckled and refused, " Are you looking down on me? Nah, I can handle this!"
Even though the power of the void razzed Yu Long's body and caused him extreme pain, the grin never left his handsome face. In fact, Yu Long's blood is boiling right now.
"AGAIN!" He roared at the sky.
Yu Long and the silver dragon danced in the sky, creating typhoons left and right. Thankfully, he has sealed the surrounding space, or else the Demon Imperial City and anything within a thousand-mile radius would have turned into a wasteland.
Huan Caiyi, Chu Yueli, and Yujin watched this silently. They clenched their hand unconsciously because this was Yu Long's powers.
"Can I really catch up to you, Yu Long?" Huan Caiyi asked herself this question.
"You can't." Chu Yueli commented casually.
"No, to be more precise, we can't."
"You're right, we can't." Yujin nodded in agreement.
"My Lord's power is beyond our understanding. Trying to catch up to it is like grasping hope in the mist."
"However, we can support him..."
"Accompany him through every step he makes."
"Make his world more colorful with our presence."
"Colorful? I understand!" Huan Caiyi's eyes became firm.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Yu Long exchanged blows with the silver dragon and dealt a severe blow to its head.
ROAR!
BOOM! KACHA!
The silver dragon roared at the sky, and a bolt of black lightning hit it, causing its body to become smaller, but an additional head grew.
Yu Long's eyes widened slightly, "Well, that was cheating..."
"Black Lightning, the second stage of Void Power?"
BOOOOOOOOOM!
A blue-white pillar of light rose from the Demon Imperial Palace, shining brightly.
"Hmm?" Yu Long glanced back, feeling a faint sharpness was about to be born. "This presence, the Divine Sword, was about to be completed!"
"No wonder this guy becomes more desperate."
"It's time for me to be a little serious, too." Yu Long lifted his other hand and swallowed the Essence Sphere he had prepared beforehand.
[Chronokinesis (FFF) Acquired]
Yu Long's golden eyes gained a red cross and silver ring, and countless fragments of events flashed within milliseconds. He breathed in and adjusted his heartbeat.
"THE WORLD!" He shouted at the top of his lungs. The sound of the clock reverted echoed in the Demon Imperial City.
At this very moment, the time has come to a complete stop.
"You can run this time, hahaha!" Yu Long laughed. "Art of Thunder and Lightning - 2nd Form: Divine Thunder and Lightning Dance!"
BOOOOOOOOOM!!
Yu Long charged at the silver dragon, and a force field expanded from his body, fully enveloping the twin-headed silver dragon. He could see the dragon trying to break away from the time-stop restraint.
However, it was too late.
"Kaiju Maker x Force Bubble: Apex's Devouring!" Yu Long's force field bound the twin-headed silver dragon and swallowed it.
ROOOOOOOOOOOARRR!
Kacha! Kacha! Kacha!
The unwilling roar of a dragon reverberated in the area as the time stop cracked. Countless space tears appeared above Demon Imperial City.
The Scattered Will of Primal Chaos Dimension was confused.
Where is the Lightning Calamity?
How come it disappeared so suddenly?
Blood seeped from the corner of Yu Long's mouth. His body shook a little as swallowing the Lightning Calamity powered by void was too much for his current body.
His blood veins exploded one after another.
Every cell in his body is fighting back.
Even then, he endured it with a stone-cold will.
Kaiju Maker tried to digest the Lightning Calamity as quickly as possible, not wanting to damage Yu Long's body too much.
As the thunderclouds above cleared, a pleasant sensation appeared inside Yu Long's Kaiju World.
"ESeENCE FoRMEd." A distorted voice of himself echoed in Yu Long's head.
"Lightning Calamity (FFF) Acquired!"
Yu Long sighed in relief, "That was dangerous but worth it."
Not long after, a brilliant shine dissipated from below Demon Imperial Palace. A sign that the Divine Sword was 'successfully' made.
"Success! Good job, Thalia, Yuechan!" Yu Long smiled proudly. Then, he blacked out. It was a natural mechanism of his body to prevent him from getting too affected.
"Gotcha!" Yujin appeared behind Yu Long, hugging him. She prevented him from falling to the ground.
"My Lord. That was very reckless of you..."
"But..."
"You're so handsome just now!"
"Space is King, Time is Emperor! You actually have such a trump card in your hands."
"Following you is indeed the best decision I ever made, hahaha~!"
