Xu Que had teleported to the foot of the Mountain of Imperial Tomb by reciting a magic inscription he learned in the Sky Incense Valley . When the old man had begun to struggle, he hit the old man with the blunt end of his sword and carried him up to the top of the mountain .

By the time the onlookers had processed what had happened, Xu Que had already reached the top of the mountain .

"Geez! He is going to increase the power of the Heavenly Trial with the help of the old man's Level Field . "

"That old man is in the sixth level of the Infant Transformation Stage . How dare he do such a thing!"

"Wait a minute . The way he hit that old man looked very ordinary . Why on earth didn't the old man fight back?!"

"It seems that we have underestimated General Zhuge's power . "

"Anyway, now that the old man is with him, the power of the Heavenly Trial is going to increase significantly . "

"And that old man is doomed! But of course, that old man has to pay the price for his actions . "

Seeing the old man being carried to the top of the mountain, no one felt sympathetic for the old man . After all, he had attacked Xu Que earlier .

The Water Empress was a bit surprised by Xu Que, but she was also relieved . Just as she had suspected, Xu Que never did things he was not sure about . So, no matter how powerful this Heavenly Trial became, she would no longer worry about Xu Que .

Meanwhile, the thundercloud above Xu Que's head suddenly stopped tumbling . With the old man next to Xu Que, the thundercloud began to re-evaluate the power of the two "sufferers . "

Throughout the centuries, whenever a person would go through the Heavenly Trial, they were never allowed to call on someone else for help . This is because if another person tried to help, the thundercloud would target that person as another sufferer; thus, the power of the Heavenly Trial would double .

This was why the Water Empress chose not to get too close to Xu Que earlier . She was afraid that if she did, she would put Xu Que in a much more dangerous situation .

Xu Que had fully absorbed the energy of the golden lightning . His body had been greatly enhanced . Besides, with the help of his Negative Cloak, he would not die, no matter how severely injured he was .

Xu Que had decided to face the thundercloud again so he could absorb more of the golden lightning's energy . He wanted to act tough in front of everyone and make good use of this opportunity to purify the essence of lightning inside his body . He didn't care what price he would have to pay .

"How dare you!" the old man shouted as soon as he woke up . "How dare you sneak-attack me!"

Xu Que loosened his hands and the old man dropped to the ground .

"Who said I sneak-attacked you?! I conked you out in broad daylight . "

The old man was furious . He was so mad that his face even turned blue . Suddenly, the old man felt the frightening pressure of the thundercloud above him, which scared him half to death . He looked up into the sky .

"No! No! No!" the old man cried .

The thundercloud was so close to the old man that if he reached up he could touch it with his fingers . He was now desperate and cried like a child . For him, being dragged into this Heavenly Trial was tantamount to a death sentence .



"Do not cry . You will be fine," Xu Que said with a laugh . Xu Que was amazed at how frightened the old man was .

The old man was extremely angry and stared at Xu Que .

I will be fine?! Nonsense! the old man thought .

"Young man, I won't let you get away with this! I will cut you into pieces before I die!" the old man shouted .

A green fog appeared around the old man's finger . The fog quickly changed into sharp green leaves that shone in a cold light .

"I see you come from the Wood Nation," Xu Que smiled, "but fire can burn your wood you know . "

All of a sudden, a black flame appeared on Xu Que's palm . As suddenly and forceful as water spurting out of a fountain, countless sharp leaves quickly flew towards Xu Que . However, the black flame in Xu Que's palm had turned into a black wall of fire . As soon as the leaves touched the flaming wall, they all turned into smoke and completely vanished .

"This is impossible!" said the old man, shocked . He backed up a few steps .

For as long as the old man had lived, he had been famous for being able to perform a marvelous ability called the Life and Death Leave . The old man had killed countless cultivators with this ability . It had always worked for him—up until now that is . The old man could not believe that Xu Que had survived it .

"Calm down . " Xu Que said . "The Heavenly Trial is going to come . Go through it with me . You will be fine . "

Xu Que extinguished his Eight Waste Destruction Flame and looked at the sky . The sky was now as dark as ink . The thundercloud that was surrounded by the magnificent golden lightning was almost touching their heads . Xu Que was still wearing a smile on his face, while the old man was frightened out of his wits .



"You'll be fine . " Xu Que comforted the old man .

"General Zhuge, please let me go . If you let me go, the Heavenly Trial will be even easier for you . Please do not kill me! I know you can master the Heavenly Trial, just let me go! I will remember your mercy to me all my life if you just let me go!"

"No worries! You will be fine! I'll make sure of it," Xu Que nodded .

"Are you serious?" The old man frowned .

"Of course!"

Bang!

The thundercloud roared . Countless golden lightning bolts were crawling through the cloud . Before either of them could react, one of the lightning bolts touched the old man's head .

Bang!

The old man was blasted away and fell to the ground with a thud . He screamed out in great pain . His head was bleeding severely . If he was in the sixth level of the Infant Transformation Stage, he would have died on the spot .

The old man started to chant some magic words to heal the wound on his head . It was common for a person of the Wood Nation to be able to heal themselves with Wood Energy .

"General Zhuge, stop the thundercloud immediately!" the old man said harshly while glaring at Xu Que .



"Here, I have something for you," Xu Que said . "This is called a lightning rod!"

Xu Que smiled and threw a needle to the old man . The old man was surprised .

A lightning rod? This is just an iron needle? Will it work?!

"Are you sure?!" the old man asked .

"Yes! Believe me, you will be fine . "

Bang!

The thundercloud roared again . Suddenly, a golden lightning bolt whized out of the cloud and flew towards the old man .

"What?!" The old man shouted, backing away in terror . "General Zhuge, what is happening! That bolt almost struck me!"

"Don't worry . You will be fine . "

Bang!

At once, a golden lightning bolt shot out and penetrated the old man . In the blink of an eye, his whole body turned into a ball of bloody fog and was blown away by the wind .

He just… vanished

Seeing this, the onlookers were speechless .
