Chapter 1353: Send Someone More Formidable

"What is that? Someone has walked out of the Heavenly Tribulation?"

"Wait a moment, is that... Human-shaped Lightning?"

"Oh my heavens, the most terrifying existence within the Heavenly Tribulation has actually manifested from the Ancient Calamity!"

"Hasn't the difficulty of this Heavenly Tribulation been raised far too high!"

"From a single attack by the Golden Giant Dragon, it suddenly turned into a bolt of Human-shaped Lightning!"

"Human-shaped Lightning also comes in levels of difficulty; usually, it manifests as the most powerful Heavenly Pride from various realms throughout history! But this time, it seems they directly sent down a figure at the Heavenly General level!"

"In the distant era of the Immortal Emperors, a Heavenly General was a being who commanded a Million Heavenly Soldiers; now this lad is merely undergoing a Tribulation, is it really necessary to dispatch such a terrifying existence?"

Inside Tian Sha City, everyone was exclaiming and debating in disbelief.

Previously, they had barely recovered from the sighs and lamentations over the deaths of ten Immortal Kings, yet they never expected a figure to suddenly emerge from the Ancient Calamity, leaving them utterly terrified!

Zixia Fairy's expression also tightened, becoming somewhat nervous!

Regarding the legends of Human-shaped Lightning, she knew even more than everyone else present.

Only Er Gouzi and Duan Jiude remained completely calm and composed.

"Look at you lot, acting like you've never seen the world; it's just a mere Heavenly General, what's there to get excited about!" Er Gouzi sneered with disdain.

"Sigh, what a group of ignorant people!" Duan Jiude shook his head.

Back then, they had witnessed a Heavenly Tribulation featuring a Million Heavenly Soldiers, so now that a single Heavenly General had appeared, they truly felt there was nothing worth being shocked about!

Nishang Fairy and the woman in black robes stood outside the Forbidden Zone, having ceased their conversation.

They watched coldly from the sidelines, having long abandoned any notion of recruiting Xu Que, and now only wished to see how Xu Que's story would end!

However, Xu Que remained utterly solemn.

He ignored that golden Human-shaped Lightning and looked up at the sky!

This was a true act of contempt, even carrying a hint of disgust.

Such an expression falling into the eyes of the crowd left everyone somewhat stunned.

Before the crowd could even react, Xu Que suddenly pointed his finger at the firmament and shouted loudly, "Damn it, I've waited half the day, and you only send one person down? Do you have to be so stingy? Have you run out of people to use?"

The entire crowd: "???"

Almost simultaneously, Xu Que shouted again at the firmament, "Ten! Today I must fight ten, and there is no room for negotiation on this matter!"

"Boom—!"

A clap of thunder immediately rang out from above the firmament, as if responding to Xu Que with an angry roar.

Everyone in the crowd was startled.

Mai Pi, is this lad insane! How dare he provoke the Heavenly Might while undergoing a Tribulation?

The Upper Heaven does have eyes!

However, after several breaths passed, apart from that single clap of thunder, the firmament made no other move.

Instead, that golden Human-shaped Lightning on the ground suddenly shot across the sky; sweeping its long spear like a Light Stream, it pierced directly toward Xu Que, charging at him.

"Heh, I didn't even put a Million Heavenly Soldiers in my eyes; what use is sending down a single bare-handed Heavenly General?"

Xu Que let out a cold smile, fiercely stomped on the Void, gripped a Purple-Gold King-Forcing Staff in his hand, and rushed straight toward the golden Human-shaped Lightning.

The Heavenly General's Human-shaped Lightning, as if enraged, suddenly increased its charging speed; its long spear swept out a dense screen of spear shadows, while its other hand pushed forward with an open palm.

Boom!

The section of Void where Xu Que stood immediately concaved inward over a large area.

Xu Que's entire body also experienced a slight stagnation, dragged by the Void and briefly imprisoned in mid-air!

This brevity was just like the slight lag a character experiences when playing a game.

But for powerhouses at their level of cultivation, even less than a single breath, even less than the blink of an eye, was enough to change the tide of battle.

In that instant Xu Que lagged, the long spear in the Human-shaped Lightning's hand, swirling with vast spear shadows, had already pierced toward Xu Que's chest.

"Not good!" Inside Tian Sha City, Zixia Fairy's face immediately changed.

"It's over, he can't dodge it!" Someone in the crowd shook their head and spoke.

"That Heavenly General is too fierce; even though it is merely a Human-shaped Lightning, it possesses such strength!"

"Long ago, a Heavenly General was at least an existence at the Immortal Venerable Peak realm, and this Human-shaped Lightning has inherited everything of a Heavenly General; although its realm is weaker, judging by this strength, it is at least a Great Luo Golden Immortal, perhaps even very close to an Immortal King!"

Many people voiced these words almost simultaneously.

At the edge of the Forbidden Zone, Nishang Fairy also frowned: "Is it ending this quickly?"

"Boom!"

The moment her voice fell, the long spear in the Human-shaped Lightning's hand slammed hard onto Xu Que's chest; carrying vast spear shadows, it completely pierced through his body.

Blindingly brilliant Golden Beams filled the firmament.

However, everyone in the crowd suddenly inhaled sharply in unison, dumbfounded!

"This... how is it possible?"

Many people widened their eyes.

The long spear in the Human-shaped Lightning's hand, upon striking Xu Que's body, did not pierce through but shattered directly, creating the illusion of penetration.

The true situation was that the long spear condensed by the Ancient Calamity had shattered; apart from some damage to his upper garment, Xu Que's flesh and skin were completely unharmed!

"Oh, now that your spear tip is gone, how do you plan to stab me to death?"

A mocking expression appeared on Xu Que's face, followed immediately by him fiercely lifting a leg and kicking toward the Human-shaped Lightning before him.

Seeing the danger, the Human-shaped Lightning was just about to retreat.

But a massive hand directly pressed down on its head, forcibly holding it in place.

Xu Que's raised right foot erupted with a burst of Spiritual Light!

The physical strength of his Small Achievement Saint Body, combined with the King of Arrogance Leg empowered by One Hundred Thousand Points of Acting Cool Points, fused into a domineering and violent force, viciously kicking the Human-shaped Lightning.

Boom!

A dull thud rang out!

Before the stunned eyes of everyone in the Arena, the Human-shaped Lightning transformed into a Heavenly General was instantly kicked flying, like a Kite with its string cut, tracing a perfect parabola through the air.

Immediately after, it exploded!

Like a golden firework, it burst with unparalleled brilliance, scattering into strands of tiny Golden Arcs that surged toward Xu Que's body once more!

"Crack! Crack!"

Xu Que twisted his neck, his bones emitting a series of crisp snaps; having absorbed the power of the Lightning Tribulation, they had clearly become even tougher.

"How boring; does this sort of Heavenly Tribulation really deserve to be called an Ancient Calamity?"

At the same time, Xu Que looked up at the sky again and spoke provocatively, utterly arrogant and presumptuous!

Although the strength of this Heavenly General had indeed surprised him slightly.

For instance, that spear thrust just now—Xu Que truly had no way to dodge it; fortunately, his Flesh Body was sufficiently powerful and solid, otherwise, even if that thrust hadn't taken his life, it would have been enough to inflict severe injuries upon him!

Once severely injured, there would likely be no suspense left in the ensuing battle!

Yet precisely because of this, Xu Que became even more audacious.

Since the Human-shaped Lightning condensed by the Ancient Calamity could not breach the defense of his Saint Body at all.

Then, what, was, there, to, fear?

"Send someone stronger!"

Xu Que lifted his head and shouted loudly.

Everyone present had fallen completely silent, filled with immense shock.

Not only did the Human-shaped Lightning's spear fail to kill Xu Que, but the key point was that it had been kicked until it exploded by Xu Que's foot.

This truly belonged to the unexpected within the unexpected!

"This Lad's Flesh Body... is not simple!" Nishang Fairy knitted her brows tightly, staring fixedly at Xu Que as she whispered.

"I can see that!" The black-clad woman's expression was grave as she nodded slightly.

Boom!

At the same time, another deafening roar echoed through the Arena.

The third Thunder Cloud finally showed movement!

Within the Golden Beam enveloping the ground, vast amounts of Golden Lightning interwove, once again condensing into a human-shaped figure.

Compared to the burly Heavenly General from before, this Human-shaped Lightning appeared somewhat slender, yet exceedingly graceful and elegant!

Its light robe and skirt, due to the Golden Lightning, also radiated brilliant Golden Beams; the skirt hem fluttered in the Wind as the Human-shaped Lightning stepped forth gracefully!

When everyone present saw the face of that Human-shaped Lightning, they instantly froze in astonishment.

In an instant, all eyes focused on Nishang Fairy outside the Forbidden Zone.

Nishang Fairy also wore a look of shock, her beautiful eyes widening slightly, appearing very surprised.

The black-clad woman beside her also paused for a moment, then a hint of amusement floated across her face as she smiled and said, "This is interesting; surprisingly, a Human-shaped Lightning resembling you, Nishang Fairy, has appeared! This fight is going to be fun!"
