Chapter 559 - 237: Good Kid! How Much Strength Did You Use?
In a remote and silent canyon.
Thunderclouds gathered, rumbling noisily.
Gusts of wind howled, piercingly sharp.
Jiang Shi stood tall atop a mountain peak, raising his head to calmly observe the scene.
Pill tribulation!
Just like before.
Every time Daoist Master Xuan crafted the Blood God Pill, intense lightning would appear high in the sky, forming a pill tribulation.
Jiang Shi was almost used to it all.
As he watched the thick bolts of lightning gather increasingly, his eyes turned cold. Suddenly, he raised his hands high, and the Thunderbolt talent was instantly activated.
In an instant, Jiang Shi’s body seemed to transform into a massive lightning conductor.
The recently gathered intense lightning immediately crackled with ear-piercing sounds and then fiercely surged towards his body.
The light was brilliant, and the winds howled.
It was as if a dazzling sea of thunder broke through.
The entire world became blindingly bright, emitting a deep rumbling sound.
From afar, the scene was earth-shattering and awe-inspiring.
Chen Long, Pang Ban, Venerable Withered Wood, and others were all shocked, standing in the surrounding mountains and forests, watching closely ahead.
They were no strangers to such a scene.
It had happened several times before in Central State.
But even having seen it multiple times, it remained incredibly striking to watch again.
What kind of powerful body could absorb the power of lightning so recklessly?
"Hmm, there’s a trace of Celestial Demon True Blood, and he has mastered another secret technique allowing him to absorb lightning. Not bad, truly remarkable."
An unexpectedly deep and aged voice sounded from a large stone.
Chen Long, Pang Ban, Venerable Withered Wood, and others around the guardian all changed their expressions, quickly turning to look.
Who was it?
Could someone really appear silently beside them?
How could it be possible?
When they saw clearly, their pupils instantly shrank in surprise.
Two incredibly burly figures stood quietly on a mountain rock.
The person at the forefront was strikingly eye-catching.
He wore a dark black robe, with a face like a tiger, imposing and heavy, a dense beard covering his entire jaw, and his eyes were sharp and spirited.
He was the kind of presence that induced fear at first glance.
As if this person naturally commanded power.
Inherently fearsome.
For some reason, Chen Long, Pang Ban, Venerable Withered Wood, and others felt uneasy.
Upon recognizing the other figure beside the elderly man in the dark robe, they were even more shocked.
Venerable Bai Mei!
Wasn’t it Venerable Bai Mei, who had recently been defeated by Jiang Shi?
He was also here?
"The... Celestial Demon Sect Leader!"
Chen Long’s face turned pale, his mind buzzing, lips trembling, and he spoke a few words with immense horror, feeling as though his soul was terrified.
"What?"
People around were equally taken aback, their hair standing on end, quickly retreating backward.
Elder Pang Ban, Venerable Withered Wood, and others were almost scared enough to flee on the spot.
Celestial Demon Sect Leader?
What kind of joke was this?
A person’s name carries weight, just like a tree casts its shadow.
The name of the Celestial Demon Sect Leader was a legendary figure among all the various sects and schools, in other words, everyone treated him as an ancestor to revere.
These individuals were mostly cult practitioners, so they were naturally familiar with the Celestial Demon Sect Leader’s name, but with his esteemed status, how could they qualify to meet him?
Hearing Chen Long mention his name, the group was truly shocked and in disbelief.
It was as if a band of thieves had suddenly encountered the head thief.
The Celestial Demon Sect Leader, in his black robe with a severe expression, ignored Chen Long and Pang Ban’s reactions, keeping his gaze focused on Jiang Shi, attempting to uncover all his secrets.
Chen Long was full of bitter helplessness, terrified and restless, looking towards the Celestial Demon Sect Leader with anxiety.
He didn’t run.
Because he knew running was futile.
From the moment this ancestral figure appeared, they had lost the capability to escape.
At this moment, anyone attempting to flee would die and leave no trace.
"Boss, you... you’re not joking, are you? This... this is really the Celestial Demon Sect Leader?"
The Rabbit trembled all over, asking in a quivering voice.
As part of the Twelve Zodiac Gods, they had roamed the Southern Domain for years but had never seen the Celestial Demon Sect Leader.
At least among them, no one had met him before.
Chen Long forced a wry smile, not responding to Rabbit but showing extraordinary respect by clasping his fists towards the Celestial Demon Sect Leader, saying, "Junior Chen Long pays respects to the Sect Leader. May the Sect Leader be well."
He prostrated himself directly on the ground, not daring to move an inch.
No matter what, he had to observe the basic ceremonies thoroughly.
Chou Niu, Rabbit, and others immediately understood upon seeing this and despite their shock, they quickly bowed on the ground, paying respectful homage.
Following them, Elder Pang Ban, Venerable Withered Wood, Guo Tian, and others quickly did the same.
"Interesting, truly interesting. This junior exceeded my expectations."
The Celestial Demon Sect Leader still didn’t acknowledge Chen Long, Pang Ban, and the others, focusing his gaze on Jiang Shi, saying, "Who on earth cultivated this guy? Bai Mei, you’re right. The dense aura of Celestial Demon True Blood on him is multiple times that of the four Saint Sons combined, truly incredible. Good lad, I must test him!"
Suddenly, his gaze shot towards Daoist Master Xuan, who was not far away, frowning slightly as he sensed something amiss.
