Chapter 114: Anomaly
Liang Po’s breakthrough took time. Enough time that the few who sensed it managed to return to the mountain and spread the news.
The outdoors was no longer peaceful. The serene purple skies became turbulent as a storm began to brew. By the time those who were free rushed to the scene, rain flooded the scene.
Liang Po himself paid it no mind. He had sealed the entrance to his cave beforehand. It was unlikely for anyone to interrupt him. Instead, the real danger lay in the breakthrough itself.
Those who were blessed by the heavens with a unique physique faced tougher challenges. Some say the heavens were jealous, while others believed it was only trying to temper the chosen further with appropriate strength. Either way, it was a known fact that they would be facing life-threatening tribulations, even if it was only the first major breakthrough. Thankfully, in this case, Liang Po wasn’t trying to step into the next major realm yet.
“So the rumors were true. The genius from the Myriad Bones Pavilion does possess a heavenly physique.”
“What rumors, you dimwit!? Little news about the Myriad Bones Pavilion ever reaches anyone. They keep to themselves too much while there are only a few of them.”
“Anyway…Do you think he’s breaking into the Foundation Establishment realm? It seems like he doesn’t want to fall behind.”
“No, I saw him not too long ago. He was still in the eighth stage of Energy Gathering.”
“Then, he’s generating such a huge response from just trying to step onto the ninth stage?”
The spectators gawked at the spectacle. They all took shelter under the same line of trees, contemplating the significance of the scene.
They only came to it when a flash of lightning suddenly descended near them. It came down directly on the small mountain where Liang Po was. Those who had seen similar scenes instantly yelled out in alarm.
“That’s…not normal lightning. It’s tribulation lightning! Tribulation lightning is striking down on Liang Po for just stepping onto the ninth stage!”
