Chapter 282: The Benefits of Enduring the Lightning Strikes
Swish!
A wave of Sword Energy sliced toward the divine lightning.
In front of the divine lightning, which had a diameter of two or three meters, the size of the Sword Energy seemed almost insignificant.
But the might of the Sword Energy was not weaker than that of the divine lightning.
With a loud boom, upon their collision, the Sword Energy charged straight in, disappearing into the layers of rolling dark clouds.
Meanwhile, the divine lightning was suddenly split in two.
It exploded violently about ten kilometers above Yi Chen’s head.
The terrifying energy spread outwards.
By the time it reached Yi Chen, it had almost dissipated, barely consuming even a tiny bit of spirit power from his energy shield.
…
"Setting aside his personality and character, Yi Chen is truly incredible… According to the battleship’s scanner, this lightning, aside from not being fast enough, has power comparable to that of a small space battleship’s laser cannon."
"To think Yi Chen directly severed it with One Sword; that means the energy of his sword might be less than that of the lightning, but its power is not inferior."
"I’m only curious about why such terrifying phenomena and this lightning appeared out of nowhere."
"Look at the scanner! It shows that within the dark clouds, energy seems to be gathering again, preparing for a second strike of lightning. The energy fluctuations appear stronger than the first!"
"Moreover, it seems there’s energy surging toward Yi Chen from within the dark clouds. Are they planning to attack from two directions?"
In the live room, some viewers couldn’t help but exclaim.
…
On the exile planet, the Large Battleship’s scanner could only detect the dark clouds deep in the atmosphere, which were gathering energy to create the second divine lightning, while also noticing a surge of energy moving toward Yi Chen.
But no one knew that the energy rushing toward Yi Chen was accompanied by the heavenly luck and the power of the heavenly laws that the scanner could not detect.
Through Yi Chen’s divine consciousness, the heavenly luck, the power of the heavenly laws, and the spirit energy intertwined, forming a special energy that continuously flowed toward him, blocked by his energy shield.
It remained condensed and undispersed.
Was this a benefit?
His divine consciousness sensed no threat or malice from this energy.
Furthermore, it was mixed with heavenly luck—purple heavenly luck.
Although he found it unremarkable, this special energy could not be harmful.
After hesitating for a moment, he decided to try turning off the Shield of Protection.
The energy shield then vanished without a trace.
The special energy, which remained condensed outside, flowed into his body.
As he expected, this special energy, made up of heavenly luck, the power of the laws, and spirit energy, did not run wild inside him. Instead, it continuously nourished his Qi Sea, meridians, and physical body.
His Qi Sea, meridians, and physical strength increased at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Vaguely, his comprehension of the principles of heaven and earth also strengthened rapidly.
This filled Yi Chen with immense joy.
He didn’t expect that the Tribulation would have benefits!
Unfortunately, although this special energy was vast, it was consumed quickly.
It only doubled the strength of his Qi Sea and meridians, while enhancing his physical strength by more than ten times before it was almost all used up.
This made him, while reopening his Shield of Protection, unable to resist looking up at the sky, where the second divine lightning was brewing, with a hint of anticipation in his originally calm and fearless eyes.
Now, he was no longer satisfied with just passing the Tribulation; he hoped that the divine lightning would come in abundance.
Of course, this was under the condition that more special energy would still flow in afterward.
…
"What is going on? When Yi Chen’s energy shield was deactivated, the scanner detected that all that energy did not split into two paths to attack after the lightning but instead fully entered his body, helping to strengthen him."
"His physical strength has increased at least tenfold. Even his Qi Sea and meridians have received significant improvements."
"Moreover, before you return, check Yi Chen’s repair gene; it has also doubled. This means his lifespan has increased twofold."
"After enduring the lightning strike, he gained benefits. What on earth are those dark clouds doing?"
"With his lifespan and physical strength surging, oh my, I also want to endure lightning!"
"Save it! To gain those benefits, you first have to be struck by lightning. The power of that lightning is already comparable to that of a small space battleship’s laser cannon."
"Only those top fierce beasts can barely withstand it. If you were struck by it, you would surely turn to ashes."
"Not to mention, after gaining benefits, there’s still lightning gathering power, and according to the scanner’s display, the energy fluctuations are even stronger."
The citizens of the Federation were all confused.
They did not understand the existence of the Tribulation and couldn’t grasp what was happening at all.
In fact, even Yi Chen himself, relying entirely on his own research and exploration without any guidance, only realized at that moment that after the divine lightning, special energy would flow into his body to transform it.
Only the strong from various tribes watching on the screen knew more information.
One by one, their eyes sparkled with envy.
This was true evolution.
Gaining the transformation power of heaven and earth meant that his body was not on the same level compared to ordinary members of his tribe.
Moreover, the greater the risk, the greater the benefit.
A person like Yi Chen, the first in human history to experience evolution and face the Tribulation, had a success rate as low as one in a billion. Still, the benefits far exceeded those of others in his tribe who underwent the Tribulation later.
This is also one of the reasons why those full-level fierce beasts that successfully pass the Tribulation are likely to form their own race and create a tribe.
They become transcendent beings independent of the will of heaven on the stars they inhabit, and they are incredibly strong, far surpassing other life forms of the same level.
Not only are their descendants gifted with extraordinary physical quality and talents, even if they have no grand ambitions and do not wish to explore other life planets in the cosmos, nor do they want to drain the spirit energy of their own planet, causing their strength to stagnate,
they can still rely on their power, which exceeds that of beings at the same level, to understand the will of heaven, easily helping and guiding their descendants to overcome the Tribulation.
The strong from various tribes have all experienced the Tribulation.
The intensity of the first divine lightning they faced cannot even compare to the first divine lightning that Yi Chen encountered.
The benefits they received are, of course, far less.
…
Boom!
Half an hour later, deep in the rolling dark clouds, the second divine lightning finally struck down.
Its might was at least twice as powerful as the first divine lightning.
At the moment the lightning fell, Yi Chen swung his sword without hesitation.
The fierce Sword Energy surged forward and shattered the second divine lightning instantly.
However, unlike the previous instance where he had surplus power after breaking the divine lightning, this time it was a mutual destruction.
The two equally formidable attacks exploded in midair.
Furious energy transformed into a violent wind, raging and howling in the sky.
In the dark clouds, the third divine lightning was brewing.
At the same time, the special energy, formed by the combination of luck, spirit energy, and the power of the laws, poured down toward Yi Chen.
Having gone through the experience once, Yi Chen immediately stopped running his Shield of Protection, allowing this special energy to enter his body and continuously transform it.
Compared to the first surge of special energy, the second surge was even more massive.
Watching Yi Chen’s continuously rising qualities on the screen, not only the citizens of the Federation but even the strong from various tribes were drooling.
It was so tempting.
They wished for Yi Chen to bear the divine lightning and for themselves to reap the benefits…
