"Relax, didn't you already find a way to handle it? I believe in you—you won't die!" Ghost Thing chuckled carelessly. His faith in Wei Zhao exceeded Wei Zhao's own; even now, he still had the leisure to joke.
Wei Zhao shook his head wordlessly. The desperate measure he had improvised had indeed worked, but who knew how strong the next bolt would be? What if even this wasn't enough?
In any case, they absolutely could not stay here any longer. Even if he had to measure the ground with his own feet, he had to find the formation's core and a way out as quickly as possible—otherwise today would end badly indeed.
Yet within moments, another bolt came crashing down from above, the resentment around it carrying what seemed a cruel delight. As Wei Zhao had expected, this one was stronger still—its color already trending toward deep violet.
Once it turned fully deep violet, it would be comparable in power to the giant electric eel—a terrifying killing move that could slay a Rift-Sea cultivator in a single ambush. A hundred Wei Zhaos couldn't withstand that.
This time Wei Zhao was prepared. The instant the jade pendant warned him, he unhesitatingly poured out every scrap of lightning power stored within him. A tremendously powerful deep-blue thunderbolt tore through the air first, meeting the violet lightning head-on!
Wei Zhao's heart was in his throat. Because this strike drew entirely on the surplus lightning power stockpiled from last time, its intensity far exceeded his own cultivation—stronger even than an ordinary lightning tribulation, verging on the scale of a tenfold tribulation.
A while ago, Wei Zhao would have sworn on his life that he could never unleash such a powerful thunderbolt—yet now he could take no joy in it. Even a true tenfold tribulation was still far, far weaker than the violet lightning overhead; how much it could offset was anyone's guess.
Sure enough, when his deep-blue thunderbolt met the violet lightning, it barely threw off a few sparks before being snuffed out clean in the blink of an eye—and then Wei Zhao began his third round of violent convulsions.
The pain was far less than before, but Wei Zhao's heart was sinking by the moment, for this was no good news at all. Pain is the body's most important self-protection mechanism; once the body goes completely numb, it means its functions have given up resisting entirely—in short, there was no saving him.
Of course Wei Zhao would not sit and wait for death. The only thing he could do now was to keep discharging, again and again, every scrap of lightning power he had most recently refined within his body!
