Chapter 2321 - 2280: Harnessing Power to Resist the Lightning

Indeed, Jade Yumo had given up on herself, contemplating death, even disregarding the child in her womb. But when Wang Xiaoqiang mentioned it, she couldn't bear to do it; her maternal instincts naturally took over.

She hesitated for a moment, then grabbed Wang Xiaoqiang's hand, used her movement technique, and stepped forward. As soon as she took a step, Wang Xiaoqiang felt the wind howling, and roaring in his ears. If not for his Super Physical Body, the high-speed gale would have almost ruptured his eardrums; at the extreme speed, he became both deaf and blind.

When they stabilized their forms again, he could hear and see; he found that they had arrived at the war-torn place where three Great Sects were battling fiercely, with war flames raging wildly.

Wang Xiaoqiang was secretly delighted, experiencing it personally. While amazed at the speed of the movement technique of the cultivators in the Heaven-Stepping Realm, he looked up to the sky, seeing black clouds and lightning still overhead, unyielding like sunlight on a sunny day.

Moreover, a vortex had formed in the black clouds, with a lightning bolt as thick as a water barrel churning inside, mighty like a missile ready to launch, carrying terrifying power.

This was the Heavenly Tribulation that the strong of the Heaven-Stepping Realm needed to endure; even they couldn't resist the shocking thunder head-on. If it struck the Divine Thought, it would be instantly obliterated. Though Wang Xiaoqiang had a Super Physical Body, he didn't dare to resist it directly. Seeing the Heavenly Thunder about to strike down, he made a swift decision, immediately grasped with both hands, aiming at the two fighting teams below, his five fingers like claws in a snake-devouring gesture.

Since the Heavenly Tribulation's pressure was targeting Jade Yumo, even though Wang Xiaoqiang was beside her, he only felt a slight pressure. This allowed him to fully unleash his Spell Technique and perform it seamlessly. With this grasp, he unleashed the Grasp Stars and Moon Technique completely, his hands enlarged, fingers turned into giant pillars, transforming into five colors, and a boundless suction force emerged. When the suction force formed, it immediately turned into a hurricane, quickly pulling up the combatants below.

With this grasp, he even managed to grab over a thousand people. These people divided into two waves, held in his two huge palms, shocking the Jade Yumo. She had long noticed the strength of Wang Xiaoqiang's hands but hadn't expected them to be so strong. The thousand people he caught were all cultivators above the Decline Realm of Heavenly Beings, and more than half of them were experts of the Mold Stage of the Immortal.

Holding the thousand people in his hands, Wang Xiaoqiang raised his giant hands above his head, his arms stretched infinitely long, reaching towards the sky. Then he merged his hands, stacking a thousand people together like making clay dolls, with not a shred of resistance from the powerful individuals.

The next moment, the gigantic thunder in the depths of the cloud roared down, aiming at Jade Yumo directly, with a terrifying sound that fractured stars, crossing heavens and earth, plummeting straight down...

Under the vast pressure, the thousand powerful individuals screamed fearfully, scared out of their wits.

Wang Xiaoqiang hovered them over Jade Yumo's head and warned them, saying, "If you don't want to die, fight the thunder with all your might."

Actually, without Wang Xiaoqiang's reminder, these experts would still resist the thunder to their fullest; it's an instinct to do so when life is threatened, even if knowing it's futile.

Boom~~~~~~~

The gigantic thunder crashed onto these experts; the unluckiest one on top was turned into powder instantly, obliterated, and the second one fared no better, becoming minced flesh directly. The same fate met the third and fourth until the eighth one, where the force slightly diminished. When it pierced the thousandth expert's body, the strength weakened considerably, so when it struck the ones below, they only shattered, not powdered. When the last expert was hit, the Heavenly Thunder had only a fraction of its power left.

Boom~~~~~

When the Heavenly Thunder was about to strike Yumo, Wang Xiaoqiang swiftly pulled her aside, his Grasp Stars and Moon Technique hands mimicking an Atlas posture, directly blocking the thunder.

At the instant he received the thunder, Wang Xiaoqiang sat cross-legged, began an orderly Breathing Technique, hoping to absorb and transform the thunder. As the lightning entered his hands, it immediately raged wildly, with only a small portion transformed by his hands, while most traveled through his arms into his body.

The lightning crackled fiercely, even after entering his arms, still as thick as fingers, looking perilous. It scared the nearby Jade Yumo; after a brief daze, she shouted anxiously, "Little Qiang, are you okay?"

Not to mention Wang Xiaoqiang being the father of her unborn child, simply the fact that he shielded her from the thunder at the critical moment moved her greatly. Her resentment and grievances toward him vanished, replaced by immense guilt and gratitude. And now, more than anything, she worried about his survival, wondering how Wang Xiaoqiang, even with his strength, could withstand such thunder.

"Don't worry, I'm fine." Wang Xiaoqiang shouted, then calmed his mind and continued transforming the lightning. It roamed uncontrollably in his body, causing extreme pain, seemingly about to make him burst. Fortunately, the Patterned Beast timely absorbed a portion of it, and the Holy Path of Courage diverted some as well, relieving the crisis.

However, a portion remained in his body and needed transforming, which required a process, another time span. But now, a second Heavenly Thunder was condensing, likely ready to strike soon; what would he use to counter it then?

In this crucial moment, Jade Yumo decisively waved an arm at Wang Xiaoqiang, and instantly seven rays of light shot out, exploding into swarms of Seven-Color Light Worms on Wang Xiaoqiang. These worms attached to him, not devouring his flesh but rather absorbing the lightning within.

The Seven-Color Light Worms, controlled by Jade Yumo, were small but abundant. Under their absorption, the lightning inside Wang Xiaoqiang that couldn't be transformed in time was quickly drawn away; the worms absorbed the lightning, radiating even brighter light and growing more than double its size, continuing to suck in. With their help, the lightning was soon depleted.

After Wang Xiaoqiang's crisis was resolved, he immediately stood up, hands in a claw posture, aimed at the distant battling teams and grabbed again, capturing nearly three thousand people. After forging a Super Physical Body, his hands were more powerful, enhancing the Grasp Stars and Moon Technique's Power of Tolerance significantly. With one grasp, not to mention capturing a star, grabbing thousands of people was no problem at all.
