Chapter 582: Chapter 582: Another upgrade?
Jiang Xiaobai charged out, instantly attracting the attention of everyone.
They were all curious about who would dare to act at such a time?
Within a moment, Jiang Xiaobai stormed out under everyone’s watchful eyes, quickly. However, he couldn’t escape the notice of a few immortals.
Everyone was staring fiercely at Jiang Xiaobai’s figure, wanting to see what this fellow was up to now!
Then suddenly, a loud thunderous noise echoed.
A black-purple thunderbolt descended straight from the sky!
About as thick as a thumb!
Rumble!
In front of all, a thunderbolt fiercely struck Jiang Xiaobai. Everyone saw Jiang Xiaobai being smashed to the ground, motionless.
The blue ground turned scorched black, with a huge crater blasted open!
Everyone was taken aback!
Was this thunderbolt meant for this guy?
While everyone was shocked, they also breathed a sigh of relief because it was not them who this thunderbolt was aimed at.
Even just the aftermath was enough to terrify everyone!
If it had fallen on them, survival would have been impossible.
While everyone was stunned, another thunderbolt fell, once again fiercely striking Jiang Xiaobai in the sky.
Followed by another one!
The black-purple thunder was becoming more terrifying with each strike, ultimately having the thickness of a water bucket!
Watching it was enough to terrify one’s heart.
Everyone was puzzled, what on earth had this guy done to deserve such divine punishment by thunder?
Was he a heartless man?
“This man must have committed some unforgivable sin against the heavens!”
At this moment, a sweating immortal said this.
His voice was clear, shocking everyone who heard it.
They all knew that to become immortals, they must survive a tribulation!
But could the thunderbolt that just fell be compared to a normal tribulation?
The power of that thunderbolt was enough to match the entirety of a tribulation encountered by ascendants!
Obviously, the heavens were punishing Jiang Xiaobai!
“Damn, he’s badass! What has he done to deserve such punishment by the heavens?”
“That thunderbolt was too terrifying, if it had fallen on me I would have been obliterated on the spot.”
“Hehe, ‘obliterated on the spot’ is an understatement. Do you know what this is? It’s a Purple Sky Divine Thunderbolt, the most terrifying punishment by the heavens!”
Everyone was talking about it, and after nine thunderbolts had fallen from the sky, the storm finally disappeared.
The hearts of the crowd finally relaxed.
After all, it wasn’t them who were struck.
Did it matter who the person who was struck really was?
With such a terrible thunderbolt falling, who could survive? It was easy to deduce that the person struck was beyond dead.
The only thing everyone wondered about was what exactly this guy did that angered the heavens to give this punishment?
Some also curiously peered into the crater that the Purple Sky Divine Thunderbolt made, to see nothing was left inside.
Everyone shook their heads, turning the event into a topic of leisure chat.
In the crowd, two people looked at each other, both seeing shock in each other’s eyes.
These two were Gu Ning and Bai He.
“Could it be Jiang Xiaobai?”
“It could only be him, I can’t think of anyone else who could do such a thing.”
“Tsk, tsk, tsk, it hasn’t been that long and he’s been struck by the Purple Sky Divine Thunderbolt again. What on earth is this kid up to?”
After confirming it was Jiang Xiaobai, neither of them was particularly worried.
Unlike others, both of them had seen Jiang Xiaobai withstand the Ancient Purple Sky Dragon Tribulation, without so much as a scratch.
This might just be a mere itch to him.
In fact, it was indeed the case, Jiang Xiaobai was currently hiding underground, chuckling to himself.
“I truly am Jiang Xiaobai, to be able to come up with such a plan!”
“This way, the person who was struck by the thunder in everyone’s eyes is completely dead and is completely unrelated to me.”
“Burp…”
Just after he finished speaking, Jiang Xiaobai let out a belch.
The nine Purple Sky Divine Thunderbolts were too powerful, he had absorbed and cultivated them using the Void Thunder technique.
Jiang Xiaobai felt his lower abdomen was coming to a bursting point.
He urgently started to operate the Void Thunder technique at full capacity to digest the Purple Sky Divine Thunderbolt.
Time passed slowly, and it took a full month for Jiang Xiaobai to completely absorb the power of the thunder via his technique.
Next, it was time to see the results.
However, when Jiang Xiaobai checked his status, he was dumbfounded!
The Void Thunder technique had just barely reached the first level of Great Achievement!
“Damn, is this a mistake? After swallowing a Purple Sky Divine Thunderbolt, this is all the improvement I get?”
Jiang Xiaobai was dumbfounded.
He had thought that after consuming the strongest Purple Sky Divine Thunderbolt, his level would be maxed out.
But he only just reached the first level of Great Achievement?
He didn’t even reach the prime stage?
“System, explain what’s happening?” Jiang Xiaobai couldn’t resist asking the system in his heart.
This time, the system answered.
“The Void Thunder technique is against the natural law, hence, it should not exist. Its progression is naturally slow.”
“Time is clear-cut, the existence of such a terrifying technique means the increasing speed naturally progresses slowly. Host, please stop disturbing the system, the system is about to upgrade.”
Jiang Xiaobai’s mouth twitched, but he soon understood.
The Void Thunder technique defied the natural law, it seemed simple, but theoretically, it had no limits!
If Jiang Xiaobai was struck by the Purple Sky Divine Thunderbolt every day, in a year, he might master it. Of course, in such a case, its power couldn’t be compared to the natural Purple Sky Divine Thunderbolt.
But it could still be a weapon of mass destruction!
Just like his Kunpeng Swallowing Sky Skill, although it could accelerate his cultivation and break all shackles, as long as there were resources, he could improve rapidly.
But such a technique had massive drawbacks.
It required an unimaginable number of resources to ascend a single realm.
However, the effect it brought was dramatic. If the resources were unlimited, Jiang Xiaobai could reach the invincible realm with a year of calm cultivation!
Of course, he couldn’t acquire unlimited resources!
Jiang Xiaobai felt balanced about it. However, he soon realized something.
The system was about to upgrade again?
Does this mean he wouldn’t trigger system selection during the upgrade process, and would unlock more benefits after the system upgraded?
“Next time you’re going to upgrade, can you tell me beforehand?”
Jiang Xiaobai said, a bit excited.
