The young man rode a sword carrying the vessel of his beloved in his hands. The lightning energy from the four bolts have been absorbed and the bodily functions have been kick-started. Shi Lang could see that the body was performing raspatory functions. The young man clenched his fists, because this was very close as to how someone was defined to be alive.
The one thing that was missing from this vessel was the consciousness. None in the world could bestow consciousness upon anything apart from the mysterious laws of heavenly Dao working together.
Raksha asked, “How can she tolerate the coming bolts, she cannot circulate the energy inside her without a consciousness to drive the cultivation sutra?”
Shi Lang didn’t say anything to her question, because before him, the fifth bolt was charging upon them. It was as thick as a tree, and the impact caused Shi Lang to almost give up on his grip and the body to fall from his arms. However, the young man held on despite the scorched feeling running over his skin.
He closed his eyes and said, “Raksha, you will fly, lead us to the springs, I will settle this situation.”
The sword spirit nodded and then they took off again, while Shi Lang used his own consciousness to circulate the spiritual energy that damaged his body. Then he took out a few immortal healing pills and carefully stuffed them inside the mouth of the vessel. Then he attacked his spiritual energy to the vessel and began circulating it through Amelia’s body.
The speed and absorption was slow, but it was better than nothing. The destruction caused by the lightning was also being reverted with the effect of the healing pill that Shi Lang placed inside her mouth.
A few seconds passed, and the sixth bolt of lightning was upon them. Shi Lang said, “Shura Body.”
His body turned golden and he focused on defending himself from the tribulation. The heavens regarded this body as an artifact and not a human, because it was devoid of a soul. That was why even with Shi Lang’s presence and interference, the intensity of the tribulation was not too harsh. Had it been a human or a living being that was helped by Shi Lang, the Terran might have been roasted by now.
The bolt hit them and the young man took a step back, some of the energy traveled from the vessel to Shi Lang’s body, it was trying to break the connection between the two of them. Raksha moved quickly through the void and she said, “The tribulation is cunning.”
Thankfully this thought was passed on to Shi Lang via spiritual communication. Had it been spoke out loud, the Tribulation might have gotten pissed off. Shi Lang didn’t bother to reply and he kept moving through the void while following the previous plan. He made sure to keep revolving the lightning energy inside the vessel as he moved forward. His speed was not fast but it was steady.
Raksha replied, “Lang, just hold on for five minutes. We will enter the northern continent in the region.”
The young man sighed and said, “Raksha, you think I might be able to hold on for that long? Isn’t your opinion of my strength a bit too high?”
The sword spirit replied, “Come on, don’t look down on yourself like this.”
The young man didn’t reply as he just focused on the task at hands. Had it been a normal situation his speed would have been faster, but since he was dealing with an pseudo animated vessel, he had no option but to move carefully and slowly.
After a few moments, another lightning bolt fell through the clouds, but this time, it hit him in the back. Shi Lang was surprised but he had to focus on moving the energy and preventing damage. His back had torn up, and there was some blood seeping from the wound on his back.
The young man took a deep breath and said, “Old Tribulation, are you trying to provoke me?”
The clouds thundered and the young man took a deep breath and said, “No next time.”
That said, he dispelled the energy from the vessel and continued moving on. After a few moments, the seventh lightning bolt flashed through the void and charged at the vessel body. The lightning was faster than all the other bolts before. It was fourteen times more stronger than the first lightning bolt.
The impact caused blood vessels in Amelia’s body to rupture, and even the visceral organs also burned a little under the impact. However, Shi Lang quickly healed her by using the time seal. He used the power of time that he had condensed into a seal to remove the damage and just reverted the body to the moment before the Lightning hit it.
Yes, it might lower down the refinement level, but when Amelia starts cultivating again in the future, she would do it herself. If the level of body refinement becomes a bit too high, then her path from cultivation might be a bit too different from her wishes.
The clouds thundered and Shi Lang replied, “Come on, you cheated once, and I just returned the favor.”
The eighth lightning bolt flashed through the void, and hit the vessel again. This time, his golden body dispelled, Shi Lang took a deep breath and let the lightning destroy what it wanted to destroy. Shi Lang knew that the last bolt was upon them, and the body was heating up.
The Terran sighed as he sensed the heat rising rapidly from the core of the body. It was a reaction of the four elements fighting against the heavenly lightning. After a few moments, the final streak of lightning was upon them. The impact flung Shi Lang and Amelia away from each other, but the Terran scoffed, and without caring for the gashes on his body he held onto her hand.
The vessel suddenly grew heavy and it fell down the void, Shi Lang wanted to hold it up when Raksha said, “Don’t worry, we are here.”
Shi Lang looked around and changed the direction of the fall with his spiritual energy flow.
SPLASH!!!
The two figures plunged inside the cold norther springs.
