Chapter 288: Dragon Smoke and Dan Yuan
Having broken through to the fourth stage of Refining Qi into God, Wang Sheng had yet to experience the enhancement of this stage when he felt the Heavenly Father summoning him.
Clearly, the Heavenly Father had, for some reason, regained confidence and wanted to take action against him.
This time was different from before, however, for he could now directly sever this summoning link, leaving the Heavenly Father with no way to affect him.
But Wang Sheng had no intentions of refusing.
He was still pondering how he could actively seek out the Heavenly Father when, unexpectedly, the Heavenly Father took the initiative to summon him.
How could he possibly miss this opportunity?
So he no longer resisted the summoning.
However, unlike the silent summons of before, this time he clearly felt it, even knowing crystal-clear that his Spiritual Body had appeared.
"I did glimpse some secrets of the spirit world where the Heavenly Father resides."
This summoning was clearly one of the techniques of that Spirit World, and as the summoned, with Wang Sheng's Divine Thought being extremely strong, he discovered some methods of summoning during the process.
The methods were quite good, and perhaps with a bit of decoding, they could be directly applied to his own Spirit World.
But at this moment, he had no time for such thoughts, for he felt himself moving closer and closer, with his Spiritual Body soon to enter the Spirit World.
If things went as expected, an attack from the Heavenly Father would arrive the instant he entered.
Swoosh!
Quickly, Wang Sheng's Spiritual Body felt a change in the environment and a terrifying aura. Without any hesitation, he immediately employed Chang Zai's Divine Skills.
A pale yellow shield appeared above his Spiritual Body.
Boom!
Lightning flashed, striking the shield directly. It was a massive force like nothing he had ever felt before.
Obviously, the Heavenly Father had, for some unknown reason, greatly strengthened.
But his current strength was no longer what it used to be. The Five Internal Gods could be used in the Spirit World, and just as in his own Spirit World, this place would likely function the same.
The pale yellow shield, despite being attacked by the mighty lightning, remained intact, unaffected.
Of course, after this attack, the Heavenly Father's assault did not cease. Countless bolts of lightning continued to strike the shield.
"Are you trying to kill and obliterate any trace of me directly?"
Wang Sheng was somewhat irritated; the Heavenly Father's attacks were frequent, clearly not as underprepared as before.
This time the Heavenly Father was smarter and more cautious.
He could not simply sit and wait for doom.
Although two more of the Five Internal Gods had awakened, maintaining some balance in the Five Elements,
Chang Zai's powers weren't something he could use indefinitely. Remaining passive like this would eventually see him overwhelmed in the thunder.
"Moving Mountain!"
One of the Divine Skills of the Five Internal Gods, Moving Mountain.
It granted him immense power and the ability to use Divine Thought and the Void to condense a grand mountain to suppress all enemies.
In the real world, the condensed mountain would have a tangible entity, like the Five Finger Mountain that pinned down Sun Wukong, with its own inner universe. However, in the Spirit World, the mountain would be more like a phantom or a Spiritual Body.
Boom!
An apparently endless mountain appeared out of nowhere, landing in front of Wang Sheng.
Boom!
Lightning struck the mountain, creating thunderous roars as if heaven and earth were shattering.
But even so, the lightning could not easily shake it, as if it were in impotent rage.
Wang Sheng was thus able to escape the relentless lightning attack, finding a moment to inspect the situation.
But things were not that simple—
Crackle and boom!
Another burst of thunder could have mixed up the sound with that of the lightning striking the mountain if Wang Sheng's Divine Thought hadn't been so powerful.
This thunder was coming from behind!
Without hesitation, Wang Sheng summoned his flying swords and turned to guard his back.
Both swords had a strong connection to him, and in an instant, he felt one struck by a powerful force.
One of the swords was blown away, but the other held firm.
This was the sword nurtured close to Chang Zai, with extremely powerful defensive strength.
It withstood all attacks.
Wang Sheng finally had the time to observe what was actually happening.
One attack after another, front and back—
"As expected, I wasn't wrong!"
This time not only had the Heavenly Father greatly enhanced his power, but there were also two entities.
One attacked the moment he entered the Spirit World, and the other took the opportunity to launch a surprise attack while his attention was diverted.
If not for his strong abilities, he might have been successfully ambushed.
"But two is good, too. Destroy both, and I don't believe you won't be affected!"
Although the previous attacks were powerful, Wang Sheng hadn't used much of his strength yet.
The Heavenly Father still hadn't posed a threat to him.
He didn't expect an answer from the Heavenly Father, intent instead on going all out to quickly kill one of them.
As for the other, he wanted to try something different.
However, it seemed he still underestimated this Heavenly Father's uniqueness this time.
"Anomaly, you should not exist, you've circumvented restrictions to become an anomaly that shouldn't exist."
The Heavenly Father spoke!
This was something Wang Sheng had never encountered before.
Although he sensed some wisdom in the previous Heavenly Fathers, that wisdom was not profound, sometimes even seemingly dull, let alone conversing.
