Chapter 206: Heavenly Human Heavenly Tribulation
How vast is the power of a Dharma Aspect?
Feng Zhenghao noticed the anomaly above his head in an instant.
This is... a Tribulation Cloud, a Heavenly Punishment?
He was stunned for a moment, completely unable to understand why this was happening. He was merely making a move against an arrogant brat; why would it provoke the wrath of Heaven and Earth? This shouldn't be!
But the Tribulation Cloud above did not care about what he was thinking.
Seeing Feng Zhenghao dare to lay a hand on its "own son," it flew into a rage. The thunder shuttling across the Tribulation Cloud grew thicker and thicker, emitting a Terror-inducing pressure that made all the commoners in the city tremble.
What is going on? Why is the Tribulation Cloud becoming increasingly terrifying?
He was stunned again, feeling as though his entire being had gone blank.
If he could have handled the Tribulation Cloud from just a moment ago by taking it head-on, it had now grown to a level he could not deal with; being struck once would cost him half his life.
Wait, this shouldn't be, it shouldn't be!
His reason as a practitioner of the Dharma Aspect Realm returned to calm. Looking at Li Heng and the others opposite him, he thought frantically, ruling out one possibility after another, until he finally locked his target onto the little Daoist boy, Qingfeng, beside Li Heng.
But this little Daoist boy's cultivation was clearly very weak.
He hadn't even reached the Innate Realm; what virtue or ability did he have to summon such a powerful Tribulation Cloud? Unless...
His pupils shrank, his gaze flashed, and he mobilized the Heaven and Earth Principles around him to perceive the little Daoist boy, Qingfeng, in every aspect, immediately detecting the dense Luck hidden within him!
Not good, a person who carries the Heaven and Earth Luck!
Feng Zhenghao was shocked and hurriedly tried to withdraw his offensive against Li Heng. This brat was bold enough to use such a Child of Luck as a shield? Was he not afraid of being backlashed by the Child of Luck himself!
No wonder a Tribulation Cloud had condensed above him.
It turned out that Heaven and Earth had already sensed that his attack would affect the Child of Luck beside this brat, and thus reacted, triggering the Heavenly Tribulation to stop him.
However, it was a pity.
By the time he realized this, it was already a bit too late.
The patience of this Heaven and Earth was clearly insufficient. Seeing that Feng Zhenghao was slow to withdraw his offensive, which was about to affect its "own son," it simply struck down with a thick bolt of thunder.
As a Heavenly Punishment, this thunder was not mere lightning; it contained Heaven and Earth Principles, Heaven and Earth pressure, and other profound concepts. Once locked on, there was no escaping it!
Just like now.
Although Feng Zhenghao realized that this thunder had already struck, he could not dodge or avoid it. Even if he ran back to his own Cave Heaven, this thunder would follow him; he could only take it head-on!
He had no time to curse Li Heng for his craftiness and hatefulness.
He hurriedly unleashed his own Dharma Aspect.
A massive Tricky God appeared behind him, clad in armor and wielding a sharp blade, emitting a terrifying baleful aura. Fortunately, he was in the air; otherwise, his figure would have almost filled the entire Jinhua City!
"Old friend, let us see what this Heavenly Thunder is like!"
Feng Zhenghao roared, and the Tricky God Dharma Aspect met the Heavenly Thunder with its blade. When he was young, he had used his secret Supernatural Ability, Summon Spirits and Command Generals, to condense the Tricky God Dharma Aspect and sweep across Beijun, meeting no rivals.
He did not believe he couldn't block a mere bolt of Heavenly Thunder!
Boom!
A loud explosion erupted, and endless shockwaves rippled out from above Jinhua City. The sound spread to the mountains outside Jinhua City, causing tremors that led to landslides on many peaks.
The blade struck the Heavenly Thunder, and the blade shattered!
The thunder pierced through, and the Dharma Aspect was destroyed!
Feng Zhenghao was immediately backlashed and spat out blood. His aura, which had climbed to its peak, instantly weakened, and at this moment, the Heavenly Thunder struck his body solidly.
The terrifying thunder engulfed his body.
Everyone was completely stunned.
The situation had changed drastically and taken a sharp turn for the worse. The venerable Old Master Feng Zhenghao, a mighty expert of the Dharma Aspect Realm, had actually been struck by thunder. He wouldn't die now, would he? What should they do?
For a moment, the Innate Realm experts of the various noble families panicked.
Because they knew that if Feng Zhenghao could not hold on, then the next to die would be them. With their strength, they could not block Li Heng's attack at all and would be killed on the spot.
By then, it would be meaningless for their families to avenge them.
When a person dies, all things return to Emptiness.
Finally, the thunder dissipated.
Above Jinhua City, a charred body appeared, showing no signs of life. But strangely, the body, which was already a corpse, could still hover in the air without falling.
"Cough, cough... cough, cough, cough... cough."
With a fit of coughing, the charred body shed its fragments, revealing the fair skin hidden beneath. Finally, the fragments fell away completely, revealing a child of about ten years old.
The child's body curled up and then slowly straightened. His eyes opened, flickering with a sense of vicissitudes that did not belong to his age.
He, Feng Zhenghao, had survived after all!
"Cough, it is indeed a Heavenly Tribulation belonging to the Heavenly Human."
"If I hadn't already refined my original body into a Dharma Body, I fear I would have been at least half-crippled, with no chance of further progress," Feng Zhenghao said, still with a sense of vicissitudes despite his child-like appearance.
The Innate Realm experts of the noble families were stunned at the sight, but they began to cheer in their hearts.
So, although Old Master Feng's current appearance was a bit strange, he had actually succeeded in returning to his youth. His aura was a bit weak, but he was alive after all. A living Dharma Aspect was, after all, a Dharma Aspect.
As long as there was no second bolt of Heavenly Thunder from Li Heng's side.
Then the scales of Victory would still tilt in their favor.
Li Heng looked at everything before him, also slightly surprised. No wonder he felt that the pitch-black body from just a moment ago was so strange; it represented Absolute deathly stillness on the outside, but contained vibrant life on the inside.
It turned out to be a case of a golden cicada shedding its shell.
"Congratulations to the Old Master for living a second life."
Feng Tianyang came to his senses and happily offered his congratulations.
"What Old Master? I am not your Old Master!"
Feng Zhenghao suddenly spoke, leaving everyone stunned.
"Hmph, my old body is already shattered, and my new body has long had no relation to the Feng Family. You brat, don't try to claim kinship with me, goodbye!" Feng Zhenghao took a step, the space shattered, and he was about to step into the Void.
What a joke, I don't acknowledge you as my descendant anymore!
A classic case of screwing over one's ancestors.
Let him die however he wants; at worst, he can just be reborn later.
"The grand play hasn't ended yet, why the rush?"
Li Heng smiled, his Earth Dharma Image manifested once again, suppressing the surrounding Void, and the cracked space healed again, leaving Feng Zhenghao with no way to escape, and he was instantly stunned.
He immediately turned around, looking at Li Heng with a gloomy expression. "Young friend, leave a line of retreat for others, so we may meet again in the future! Do you really want to perish together with me? Let me tell you, don't think you are the only one with trump cards! I have lived for so many years, I have plenty of methods!"
"Perish together, are you even worthy?" Li Heng asked curiously.
"What, you still want to rely on the Child of Luck beside you? The same trick won't work on me! And you are using the Child of Luck to block Disaster, be careful that you yourself suffer a backlash and end up beyond redemption!"
Feng Zhenghao sneered in warning.
The conversation between the two sides instantly made those aristocratic Second Heaven experts feel half-dead with cold.
Could it be that this Old Master Feng intended to abandon them?
Feng Tianyang, who had been high-spirited just a moment ago, was now dumbfounded, his mind constantly replaying what Feng Zhenghao had just said. Did this mean the Old Master had already abandoned their Feng Family?
He swallowed his saliva, feeling incomparably panicked in his heart.
As for this Old Master, it seemed it really was possible...
"It has already reached this point, so naturally it is a fight to the death. Or are you senile, still thinking about compromise? No wonder you were about to be struck by Heavenly Thunder, you can't even react." Li Heng shook his head.
"You actually want a fight to the death with me?"
Feng Zhenghao was stunned.
"I am the true Governor of Beijun. Not to mention that if I really wanted to escape, your methods couldn't keep me. Even if you could keep me, do you really dare to kill me? This is the crime of treason!"
"Even the Demon Suppression Division cannot protect you!"
He warned Li Heng coldly.
"Can you withstand the pursuit of the Great Li Dynasty across the heavens and earth?"
Li Heng was thoughtful upon hearing this.
It seemed that was indeed the case.
Although he was not afraid, the thought of the aristocratic families and the entire Great Li Dynasty hunting and issuing a warrant for him felt troublesome. However, even if he couldn't kill him, he still had to perform a harmless disposal.
Either seal him or cripple his cultivation.
Just as Li Heng was thinking about how to deal with Feng Zhenghao.
Xuan Dao suddenly sent a voice transmission.
"Li Heng, do you really have the confidence to kill Feng Zhenghao?"
Li Heng raised his eyebrows, slightly surprised.
What did this mean? Did he also want him to kill Feng Zhenghao? This was the dignified Demon Suppression Division, the special violent organization of Great Li! It seemed the relationships within were truly interesting.
He replied via voice transmission, "If a price is paid, naturally it is possible."
He had 6,411 Source Power on him; excluding the 1,000 Source Power used to upgrade the Earth Dharma Image, that left 5,400-plus points of Source Power reserves that could be used freely.
Originally, 5,000 points of Source Power wouldn't be enough to kill a Dharma Aspect.
But who told this Feng Zhenghao to be foolish, slow to react, and get struck by Heavenly Thunder. Although it looked like some kind of transformative sublimation method where the old body perishes and the new body is born, he would be a ghost to believe that.
He wasn't unable to sense Feng Zhenghao's weak aura.
Perhaps Feng Zhenghao really did have a means to perish together.
However, Feng Zhenghao, whose strength was now greatly damaged, was no longer his match. He estimated in his heart that as long as he spent two or three thousand points of Source Power, he could completely suppress and kill Feng Zhenghao!
"Good, it seems this is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
"You can kill Feng Zhenghao, kill these aristocratic families, the cost will be paid by my Demon Suppression Division, and we will even provide rewards. You also don't need to worry about the imperial court's pursuit, we will also protect you."
"Of course, all of this must have one condition."
"For a period of time in the future, you must help the Demon Suppression Division suppress the situation in Beijun and slay the Weird demons that are highly likely to appear next. However, you are already a member of the Demon Exorcists, this is acceptable, right?"
Li Heng's eyes lit up upon hearing this.
There was such a good thing?
Slaying Evil Demons and Weirds, wasn't that a benefit?
Each one was a walking Source Power.
His Source Power lost to the outside world!
But the Demon Suppression Division, what exactly did the Great Li imperial court foresee? To actually know that Weird demons would appear in the coming period. Could it be related to the recent anomalies?
"Fine, I agree." He agreed readily.
Li Heng knew that by killing Feng Zhenghao, the Governor of Beijun, he would likely entangle himself in the internal power struggles of Great Li; otherwise, Xuan Dao would not have requested him to kill Feng Zhenghao.
But he only hoped the storm would come more fiercely.
As long as there were Weirds to kill, everything was fine.
He was not afraid of Xuan Dao lying to him; if he dared to deceive him, he would definitely kill him. Moreover, Xuan Dao had no deep hatred for him, so he wouldn't risk his life to deceive him.
Even if the worst-case scenario really happened.
At worst, he would use Source Power to hide, run to the Yin World to develop, and directly become a killing star. Anyway, the Yin World was full of walking Source Power; he had already thought of all his escape routes.
That was why he acted so high-profile.
Only to seek that his heart's intent be clear, for only then could he be carefree.
"Feng Zhenghao, you said perish together, right?"
"Then take this move of mine."
Li Heng's heart stirred, burning 2,000 points of Source Power.
