Chapter 786 786: Utter Despair
Chen Lingfa's voice echoed between heaven and earth. But it could not compare to the rumbling thunder. In an instant, darkness reclaimed the world, only to be illuminated again by incredibly bright lightning. The area for a hundred li around was covered by a dense net of lightning!
It seemed as if the world of man had become a realm of thunder!
CRACKLE!
RUMBLE!!
The scalp-numbing sound of electric current shot directly through the void. At the same time, the entire Yu State region was plunged into a power failure!
Whether home appliances or industrial machinery, all were rendered inoperable in an instant. Deprived of electricity, they could no longer continue running. Some large pieces of machinery even exploded and were destroyed amidst such a massive upheaval!
In less than a minute, the entire Yu State region was thrown into utter chaos. With the dense net of lightning shrouding the sky, everyone displayed extreme terror! What on earth is happening!? they wondered. Has the apocalypse come? Is the sky going to be destroyed? What exactly happened!?
The ordinary people of Yu State had no clue what was happening. The extraordinary phenomenon in the sky and the portal formed by the lightning were completely beyond their understanding.
Even those near the Tianxing Pavilion's Hongmen Building were seized by terror. They were not far from the flashes of lightning, and their perceptions were sharper and clearer!
They deeply felt that in the face of this terrifying force, they were as insignificant as ants, utterly unable to resist.
Indeed, they were extremely weak!
Perhaps if a stream of electricity were to fall from the sky and, by chance, hit one of them, it would mean certain death, instantly turning them into charcoal, or even dust!
There would be no chance of survival whatsoever!
It was too horrifying! Too terrible!
"It's over!" a female Semi-Saint from the Human Emperor's Holy Sect said, staring blankly at the scene above. She felt the chaotic power of the thunder in the void, terrified to the point of turning pale, her whole body trembling.
"It's all because of you!" The female Semi-Saint pointed at Qin Heng, cursing through gritted teeth. "It's all because of your arrogant self-importance that you've given beings from another world the chance to descend! Do you know how many casualties this will cause!? This could level the entire Yu State region to the ground! This is a Saint Lord-level powerhouse from the Thunder Realm! We're all going to die! Everyone is going to die!!"
She was in utter despair, complete despair.
Upon seeing the net of lightning that covered the sky, she plunged deep into despair. The portal between the two worlds had already been established. It was no longer possible to reverse it!
It's over! It's all over!!
In the face of a Saint Lord-level powerhouse, even the many Ancient Divine Sects might not be able to contend.
After all, Spiritual Energy and the Laws have not fully revived, and the world is still in the End of Dharma Age. Many current Sect Masters of the Ancient Divine Sects have not reached the Saint Lord level; at most, they are at the pinnacle of Semi-Saints!
And in a certain sense, a Saint Lord can be considered a half-step Great Saint, because a Saint Lord-level powerhouse has cultivated the characteristic power of a Great Saint—True Yuan!
Even if most of the power within a Saint Lord is still at the level of a Saint's True Force, possessing this True Yuan enables them to forcibly execute Great Saint-level martial skills, their power far beyond what any Saint could compare to!
In the face of such a level of power, even the Sect Masters of the Ancient Divine Sects would have to call upon the Great Saint Treasure Weapons inherited within their sects to possibly slay them!
Otherwise, it would be certain death!
Yet, distant waters cannot quench immediate thirst. Even if a Saint from an Ancient Divine Sect came wielding Great Saint Treasure Weapons, they would not be able to prevent the extraordinary phenomena caused by the arrival of this otherworldly Thunder God!
A dense grid of lightning covering a radius of a hundred li would crash down simultaneously with the Thunder God's arrival. It would spread hundreds of times over, turning the entire Yu State region into a Thunderbolt Purgatory, utterly destroying it!
"Mister, your strength reaches the heavens. Could you possibly try to stop the descent of that otherworldly divine spirit?" two other Semi-Saints from the Human Emperor's Holy Sect implored Qin Heng to take action.
"No need," Qin Heng said, waving his hand indifferently. "Below a Great Saint, none are of consequence. No matter how many come, I can slay them all. As for you... you are still far too presumptuous!"
With that, his gaze shifted and fell upon the female Semi-Saint. Suddenly, his eyes ignited with golden light, turning into two piercing beams that instantly burned her arms to ash!
"You!?" The female Semi-Saint's eyes were fixed on Qin Heng. She said through clenched teeth, "It's already this dire, and you're still flaunting your power! Just wait until the otherworldly Saint Lord arrives—you won't be so arrogant then!"
Now, the descent of the Saint Lord from another realm was an irreversible event. This female Semi-Saint even somewhat looked forward to the Saint Lord's arrival, hoping it would kill Qin Heng!
"Do you—do you even realize how terrifying Saint Lord-level power is!"
"Damn it! Damn it all! We should have left and gone to the Divine Sect to find the Sect Leader and bring back the Great Saint Treasure Weapons! Now it's all over, truly all over!!"
The other two Semi-Saints also completely despaired, abandoning any further pleas to Qin Heng.
In their eyes, Qin Heng was an arrogant fool, utterly overestimating himself, likely not even aware of what Saint Lord-level power truly meant.
To such a person, they had nothing more to say.
"Hahaha!" Chen Lingfa laughed madly in the sky, looking down at the despairing masses below, his heart filled with extreme joy. "Suffer! Despair! All of you are going to die! Hahaha!"
Yet, when he saw Qin Heng's expression, the smile on Chen Lingfa's face froze. He immediately flew into a rage, shouting, "Why? Why are you not afraid? Why do you not fear? You are not despairing! Don't you realize you're about to die!?"
BOOM!!
Just then, the colossal gate formed by thunder in the sky suddenly expanded. A foot, over a hundred meters long, stretched out as if from another world. It pierced the barriers between worlds, stepping across realms!
RUMBLE! RUMBLE! RUMBLE!!
The heavens and earth trembled, as if limitless lightning was boiling over. A terrifying aura swept across the land. In an instant, a presence nearing that of a true Great Saint enveloped over half of China!
This shocked many from the Ancient Divine Sects, and numerous Saints who had been in seclusion in the wilderness awoke, looking toward Yu State with incredulous and uncertain eyes.
A Saint Lord!
A Saint Lord nearing the power of a Great Saint!
Is this one from the Central Heavenly Domain, or from an Otherworld beyond the Eighteen Thousand Great Realms!?
Is a great calamity about to occur!?
"Hahahaha! My god has descended! My god has descended!" Chen Lingfa, as if driven mad, laughed uncontrollably. He craned his neck, trying to behold the god's visage and praise it.
But before he even had the chance to speak, as soon as he looked up, he saw a giant foot, towering as a mountain, stomping down like a collapsing peak!
BOOM!!
This foot smashed the firmament, landing directly on a mountain just outside Yu State City. Chen Lingfa didn't even manage to scream before he was crushed into a bloody pulp, dead beyond any doubt!
The instant that foot touched the ground, the mountain, hundreds of meters high, was flattened into a deep crater. The ground for hundreds of kilometers around shook violently. The waters of the Lingjiang surged into the sky, creating tremendous waves!
The water vapor mingled with the lightning, forming a stormy curtain of thunderbolts above Yu State, transforming the whole world into a domain of thunder, like the most ferocious natural disaster descending!
It made everyone—everyone—despair!
It's over...
The female Semi-Saint simply closed her eyes, waiting to die, completely devoid of hope.
