Chapter 1201: Chapter 1199: Obtained (7 Updates)

In the blink of an eye.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh…

Sima Ling’s aura was surging violently!

Breakthrough!!!

Sima Ling had broken through as well.

An extremely terrifying aura rippled out from Sima Ling’s body. Sima Ling had broken through a minor realm, reaching the early stage of the Eighth Layer of the Fixed Character Eternal Domain.

For a moment, the faces of the people from the Great Slayer Sect flushed slightly with joy.

Whereas Xuu Xiao and Feng Liu’s expressions turned sour.

They were all competitors.

The next moment.

The most anticipated part arrived.

Sima Ling began the staircase challenge.

With one step forward.

The imagined thunderbolt bombardment didn’t occur.

Unlike when Xuu Ping stepped up the stairs before.

“It seems this thunderbolt bombardment isn’t fixed at a certain level but random,” Su Chen muttered.

Sure enough, soon, when Sima Ling reached the fourth level of the stairs, the thunderbolt bombardment arrived!

But Sima Ling was well prepared. He punched out, remarkably shattering the thunderbolt into fragments.

The terrifying strength was displayed vividly.

Below, the expressions of the crowd changed slightly; some were excited, some joyful, some anxious, and some jealous.

Following that, Sima Ling continued up the staircase.

Soon, he reached the twelfth step.

Come again!!!

Thunder came again.

Boom boom boom…

This time, the force of the thunderbolt bombardment was clearly more formidable than the last.

However, Sima Ling’s expression remained unchanged. He grinned fiercely and shouted, “Get lost!”

In an explosive voice, Sima Ling swung his sword three times in succession, with each stroke stacking upon the previous, making it seem like a shuttle.

The three sword strikes combined into a sharp angular attack.

Which again shattered the thunderbolt.

“Good!” The elder from the Great Slayer Sect accompanying to protect Sima Ling flushed slightly and cheered.

However, the faces of Xuu Xiao, Feng Liu, and others had already turned even more unsightly, as they were unwilling to see Sima Ling succeed.

Tap tap tap…

After shattering the second bolt of thunder, Sima Ling’s speed noticeably increased. Simultaneously, he swallowed an elixir to restore his Mysterious Qi, taking two steps in three strides to advance rapidly.

In a blink of an eye, he had already reached the twenty-sixth step.

He had decent luck, not encountering any thunder from the twelfth to the twenty-sixth step.

But, when Sima Ling took another step, stepping onto the twenty-seventh step.

Boom boom boom boom!!!

The thunder appeared.

Pouring down, as thick as a barrel, shockingly purple, filled with a breath of obliteration, extremely terrifying.

Sima Ling’s expression turned grave. Without hesitation, he raised his Mysterious Qi Protective Shield.

While wielding his longsword with all his might.

He swung over a dozen times continuously until his face turned pale to the extreme before it came to an end.

All those sword lights penetrated into the purple thunder, but the effect wasn’t good. The accumulation of over ten sword lights couldn’t crush the terrifying thunder as thick as a barrel.

Under everyone’s gaze, the barrel-thick thunderbolt struck Sima Ling.

Sima Ling sensed the flavor of death and danger, his face turned paler, and he quickly squatted down, lying prone, while the Mysterious Qi Protective Shield tenuously supported him.

In a blink later.

The thunder dissipated.

Extremely quiet.

Yet Sima Ling did not die.

Yes, still alive.

But in a terrible state, covered in fresh blood, so bloodied that ribs and flesh were clearly visible, horrifically miserable, basically on the brink of death, with even his face scarred beyond recognition.

He slightly lifted his head, coughed, and fresh blood oozed from the corner of his mouth.

Below, many martial cultivators gasped, shaking their heads, any lingering greed immediately vanished.

Life is the most precious.

Even Sima Ling ended up so miserable, if they went up, they’d surely die!

“Wow, wow, wow…” Yet Sima Ling didn’t retreat, but smiled defiantly, trembling as he took out dozens of elixirs from his space ring, stuffing them all into his mouth at once.

“Hmph, not afraid of bursting.” Xuu Xiao snorted. Such a method of consuming elixirs can be dangerous; it might really blow up.

Not everyone is like Su Chen, possessing a Divine Mansion.

Ordinary martial cultivators consume elixirs one at a time.

Gulping down over a dozen at once, the chance of explosion isn’t small.

The next moment.

Sima Ling stood up, but his aura was unstable, very irritable. Clearly, after gulping down over a dozen elixirs, although his injuries were quickly recovering and Mysterious Qi rapidly restoring, it was very dangerous.

Sima Ling gritted his teeth, wiping away the blood that had stained his eyes and obstructed his vision.

He continued forward.

Tap tap tap…

Sima Ling seemed about to burst, yet always seemed to be barely hanging on, and in this shaky, teetering manner, he had reached the thirtieth step.

He was almost at the top, just three steps left.

For a moment, whether from the Great Slayer Sect, or Xuu Xiao, Feng Liu, Yaun Tianyan, all held their breath.

Tap!

Tap!

Sima Ling ascended two more steps.

One more step to go.

The imagined final terrifying thunderbolt bombardment didn’t occur.

And so it was.

Sima Ling succeeded!

“Damn!” Xuu Xiao’s expression turned completely sullen, his fists clenched, filled with regret.

He believed himself to be no weaker than Sima Ling.

If Sima Ling could succeed, so could he.

Now, Sima Ling took the lead.

That Earthpulse Thunder Spirit was now Sima Ling’s.

It was imaginable, once fused with the Earthpulse Thunder Spirit, how Sima Ling’s talent and strength in martial cultivation would soar?

In Xuu Xiao’s view, that Earthpulse Thunder Spirit originally belonged to him.

“Still six left.” Taking a deep breath, Xuu Xiao consoled himself, but remained heavy-hearted; though there were still six Thunder Spirits left, wouldn’t those six be even harder than the Earthpulse Thunder Spirit?

At this moment.

“Hahaha…” On the high platform of the first level, Sima Ling laughed heartily, his face an expression of extreme excitement, and he hurried toward the Earthpulse Thunder Spirit.

In a few steps, he reached below the Earthpulse Thunder Spirit, and he sat cross-legged on the meditation cushion beneath it.

As soon as he sat cross-legged, in an instant, the Earthpulse Thunder Spirit moved!

It began to disperse, dispersing into tiny bolts of lightning, like it turned into an Earthpulse Thunder Spirit rain!!!

The Earthpulse Thunder Spirit rain was rapidly absorbed by Sima Ling.

Sure enough, there was the mark of the Supreme Thunder Spirit on the Earthpulse Thunder Spirit, which equates to having the assistance of the Supreme Thunder Spirit, making the absorption very easy.

If this goes on, the Earthpulse Thunder Spirit could soon be truly absorbed by Sima Ling.

Others couldn’t wait any longer.

“I’ll go.” Feng Liu gritted his teeth, stepping forward.

“Let me go first.” However, Qiu Shuang also stood up, blocking Feng Liu.

No one was a fool.

Sima Ling already succeeded, unless they had no designs on the Thunder Spirit, it was best to act early. Because if they delayed, the easily obtainable Thunder Spirits might be claimed early, leaving only the stronger and more difficult Thunder Spirits behind.

“You…” Feng Liu frowned darkly at Qiu Shuang, “You want to fight me for it?”
