Chapter 447 Thunderbolt-resistant Ability
Thunderbolt!
It was the Heavenly Thunderbolt. Ou Yangming had comprehended the Thunderbolt Rune Skill from Multi-armed King Kong.
The moment the lightning bolt struck the parasite’s mental power, an intense fluctuation, which was horrific and fearsome, spread all over Ou Yangming’s sea of consciousness and beyond it.
At this point, the goshawk in the sky had stopped crying and was staring below with its sharp eyes.
Yu Jinshuang and the others looked grave as they surrounded Ou Yangming, the parasite, and the two young ladies. While they did not retrieve their weapons, they gathered their energy, essence, and spirit as they were ready to attack at any time.
The other people in the martial arts field finally settled down. They were resentful because they could not understand why they were gathered here and were forced to suffer in pain. Nonetheless, when the people noticed the governor, the commanding general, and the Supreme Great Ancestors being fully focused and were prepared for an attack, they swallowed their questions.
Given that the important figures were being so cautious, they figured something bad must be going on.
If the big bosses ended up making mistakes because of them, they would be doomed. At the very least, they knew they should stay out of this at the moment.
Needless to say, Yu Jinshuang and the other powerhouses were already given instructions before this; they surrounded the parasite but did not act rashly. This was also because they were extremely confident about Ou Yangming. Since Master Ou could kill the first parasite, the second one would be an easy kill for him too. Besides, the giant bird in the sky was also eyeing the parasite.
Being watched closely by many people and the bird, the parasite could not escape at all.
Nevertheless, an incredibly frightening spiritual pressure gushed out from the center at the next instant.
Nobody knew if the power came from the parasite or Ou Yangming, but it was so oppressive that even the Supreme Great Ancestors shuddered with fear.
“Disperse, quickly disperse,” Yu Jinshuang ordered without any hesitation.
In actual fact, many people in the field had already backed away when they saw Yu Jinshuang and the others getting into positions.
Nobody dared to stay near them during the dangerous moment. If it was not because of their dignity as Supreme Great Ancestors, they would have fled long ago.
Even so, they were still not far enough from the center. Therefore, a part of the people at the front grunted when the spiritual storm spread, and they eventually passed out.
Although the spiritual storm was weaker the further it spread, not many people could withstand it.
When the people behind noticed the unfavorable situation, they immediately backed away as fast as they could. Moreover, given that Yu Jinshuang warmed them as well, the field was soon empty.
Once the spiritual storm was over, Yu Jinshuang and the others looked at each other and sensed penetrating chills. If the parasite was so formidable, how terrifying would the spirit insect be?
They looked up at the sky at the same time. The goshawk, which appeared to be monstrous to them all along, seemed to have become an adorable creature.
Without a doubt, it would be great if the formidable spirit beast became the city’s guardian angel.
Inside Ou Yangming’s sea of consciousness, the parasite’s newly-gathered mental power was split by the Heavenly Thunderbolt Rune once more.
The thunderbolt was exceptionally powerful, and it seemed to have an extraordinary effect on the parasite. Even though the other runes could cause certain damages to the parasite’s mental power, they were not worth mentioning as compared to the thunderbolt power.
As the thunderbolt powers were released one after another, the parasite’s power slowly declined. It tried its best to counterattack and performed various wonderful tricks with its mental power, which truly amazed Ou Yangming. That said, the parasite’s efforts were all futile as they were always canceled by the Heavenly Thunderbolts.
It was as though an experienced and skilled master was fighting an opponent.
He was far beyond his opponent in terms of martial art skills.
However, his opponent somehow possessed a pistol, which was ahead of their time.
No matter how the martial arts master changed and performed numerous skills, he would simply be shot by his opponent.
Yes. Under absolute speed and power, even the most marvelous skill would vanish into thin air.
The parasite was in despair at the moment and was deeply confused. How mighty must one be to have the guts to release the Thunderbolt Rune Skill in a place like a sea of consciousness?
Having said that, it vaguely sensed that Ou Yangming’s sea of consciousness was rather different from that of ordinary living beings. If that was not the case, the young fellow would not have acted so boldly.
“Boom…”
Another thunderbolt struck the parasite’s mental power.
Ou Yangming finally shook his head. He did not want to keep trying anymore. By now, the parasite no longer performed new skills or controlling abilities. Anyone would feel bored after seeing the same few skills.
Of course, Ou Yangming still benefited much more than he did from the mental power fight against the previous parasite.
Next, the parasite gathered its mental power again.
Ou Yangming subconsciously activated the Thunderbolt Rune and at the same time, the hidden Military Fire and Devouring attribute slowly surfaced.
Since he could not learn more things from the parasite, it meant that it completed its mission and did not need to exist anymore.
Despite that, it was then when the parasite’s surface underwent a peculiar change. After being attacked by the Heavenly Thunderbolt a few times, it developed a resistance and figured out something.
“Boom…”
The forceful thunderbolt power ruthlessly struck the hard rock, which was assembled from the parasite’s mental power.
This time, the rock did not shatter at all. Its surface suffered huge damage and was almost penetrated by the thunderbolt, but its overall structure remained and resisted the thunderbolt power. Some bits left the rock, but they were very insignificant.
Ou Yangming was moved. He and the parasite were both surprised and overjoyed.
‘I blocked it-I blocked the power!’
It was reasonable for the parasite to be elated. If it could not find the way to block the thunderbolt power, it would have been killed by it this time.
Nonetheless, Ou Yangming was also ecstatic. In fact, he was more exhilarated than the parasite.
The parasite would surely think Ou Yangming had gone mad if it knew what he was thinking, and this might lead to another change. However, the parasite did not notice at all because the young fellow forced himself to restrain his emotions.
With that, the Military Fire and the Devouring attribute became hidden again, this time hiding deeper within Ou Yangming’s sea of consciousness than before.
On the other hand, the Thunderbolt Rune drifted and released another flash of lightning.
“Pow…”
This time, Ou Yangming controlled it quite ingeniously as he released slightly lesser power. He was afraid that the thunderbolt power would be too much for the parasite’s mental power, which might cause it to be completely crushed. If that was the cause, his loss would outweigh his gain.
That being said, the parasite’s recovery rate was beyond Ou Yangming’s imagination. The slightly damaged hard rock returned to its original state after a brief moment and made a subtle adjustment to its surface.
Ou Yangming continued to control the Thunderbolt Rune and released thunderbolt powers of different intensities at the parasite.
The hard rock changed a little too, by which its Thunderbolt-resistant Attribute was approaching perfection.
Owing to the fact that the parasite fully focused its mental power on the change, it did not notice the trifling bits that it lost whenever it resisted the thunderbolts. The falling bits were instantly captured by a mysterious power, then they slowly sank and disappeared.
The parasite did not notice the broken bits at all because the amount lost was very little.
It was akin to how a king could not control all of his people in a colossal kingdom. If an ordinary folk had accidentally died or went missing, the king would not be alarmed at all.
As the hard rock grew more powerful, Ou Yangming became more delighted.
After analyzing the broken bits from the rock, the young fellow had also drafted a rune prototype in his head.
The rune was not the Thunderbolt Rune, but the Thunderbolt-resistant Rune, which could be used in this realm.
Furthermore, the rune was constantly changing as it was being perfected. Ou Yangming was willing to continue his fight against the parasite because he wanted to enhance the rune.
Whenever a living being was forced to a dead-end, one would usually unleash powers 100 times greater than normal.
Under normal circumstances, not to mention making a parasite’s mental power to generate the Thunderbolt-resistant Attribute, even the insect king would be clueless.
After being hit by the Heavenly Thunderbolt many times until the parasite became wounded and was on the verge of death, it finally unchained its trait and came up with a defensive skill.
The miraculous method was triggered by the parasite’s mental power, and it was a defensive method that had never been seen before. If Ou Yangming maintained the Heavenly Thunderbolt’s power or increased its intensity, the parasite would have died before the defensive technique was complete.
The Thunderbolt-resistant ability was only fully refined because Ou Yangming tweaked the thunderbolt powers on purpose.
“Boom…”
Another Heavenly Thunderbolt Rune was struck at the hard rock, but it withstood the power steadily without losing any bits.
