Chapter 58 - I, Pu Yunmo, am… the Sand Emperor!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The Awakened Ones who had come to Gaotian Plains by boat stared at Chen Feng. In total, more than 500 gazes were focused on him.

These gazes were filled with various emotions.

There was anticipation, envy, jealousy, doubt, and disdain…

However, Chen Feng had undeniably become the focus here. Everyone wanted to know if he could cross this fatal zone.

Chen Feng stepped forward. 

Amidst the clouds, streaks of electricity surged and condensed into a bolt of purple lightning that descended from the sky like a raging dragon!

Lightning was a force that was naturally produced between heaven and earth. It was the wildest and most dangerous force as well. It represented the will of nature to obliterate all creatures in this world.

Boom!

The lightning tore everyone’s vision in half. It was as if the whole world was about to shatter into pieces. 

In fact, it was so bright that it was hard for one to look directly at it. One would be blinded by the light when they focused their gazes on it. 

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

…

Bang!

Bang!

Ten consecutive crashes of thunder rang out. 

The [Earth Barrier] that Chen Feng had unleashed earlier was completely shattered. They were as weak as paper in front of the surge of heavenly lightning. It could shatter at any moment.

Of course, light traveled at a speed faster than sound. 

When everyone heard the loud crash, one of the thick bolts of lightning had collided with Pu Yunmo’s Shield of Sand.

At the same time, Pu Yunmo’s face suddenly paled.

The veins on his hand bulged as he held onto the scepter.

After all, the sand was under his control. Pu Yunmo tried his best to prevent the sand from collapsing.

Nevertheless, the gravel continued rolling down. 

The power of the lightning was way too terrifying. In less than 0.1 seconds, Pu Yunmo felt like his organs had been dealt with a heavy blow.

“I must hold on!”

Park Yunmo’s eyes were bloodshot.

Everyone might only see Chen Feng stepping into the minefield alone.

However, something happened right then. 

Something happened in this one second.

The person who stood against the world was not Chen Feng, but Pu Yunmo!

But…

How could a mortal stand shoulder-to-shoulder with a god so easily?

Pfft! 

Finally, Pu Yunmo’s body could not take it anymore. He spat out a mouthful of blood, and his body collapsed backward as if he had been hit by an invisible force.

“I can still hold on.”

Pu Yunmo staggered and took half a step back with his right leg to support his body.

It was not the time for him to fall right now.

The strikes of lightning were not over yet!

Pu Yunmo’s gaze was fixed on the figure a hundred meters away. His gaze never wavered no matter how bright the lightning was.

“Most of the lightning’s power has been consumed. I must hold on.”

This was Pu Yunmo’s only thought.

The figure under the lightning was Chen Feng.

He was someone who had saved his life twice.

Pu Yunmo was the type to take revenge and repay his debts when he had to. This had always been his character.

Chen Feng had previously saved him from the guards, and Pu Yunmo had given him the precious Pavilion Branch Lord Token to thank him for his kindness. 

This time, Chen Feng had brought him out of the white fog. Park Yunmo would always remember his act of kindness.

“I, Pu Yunmo, am… the Sand Emperor!”

Boom!

Just then, the lightning released its final surge of power. The lightning bolt exploded above Chen Feng’s head.

At the same time, Park Yunmo’s Shield of Sand exploded.

Each grain of sand contained the last bit of Pu Yunmo’s mental power. He forcefully used up the last bit of the thunder’s power with his remaining forces.

The Shield of Sand finally cracked inch by inch. It shattered completely above Chen Feng’s head.

“I… blocked it!”

A look of ecstasy flashed across Pu Yunmo’s eyes.

In order to block the lightning, Park Yunmo suffered an extremely powerful backlash.

This was because the sand in the Gaotian Plains was different from the ordinary sand on Earth.

After all, this was where gods lived in.

The soil on the ground was the soil from the land of the gods. It would be more appropriate to call it divine soil.

Given Pu Yunmo’s current abilities, he had to pay a price to control the divine soil.

“I’ve helped you endure the first bolt of lightning… Chen Feng, the rest is up to you.”

Pu Yunmo muttered as he looked ahead.

He was in a rather sorry state right now. Blood stained his shirt, and his aura had become extremely weak. He needed Blake’s help to stand up.

…

In front of the bronze door.

“Are you ready?”

Chen Feng asked softly. These words were meant for Pegasus Pagasos. 

Chen Feng was not the only one who was about to face the second bolt of lightning. The pegasus that he was riding had to endure it as well.

“It’s coming!”

A serious expression instantly formed on Chen Feng’s face when he felt the terrifying lightning that had gathered above him for some time. He raised the [Barrier Shield] with both of his hands.

If one wanted to know where this shield came from, the answer was very simple.

Chen Feng had grabbed the shield when Pegasus Pagasos passed by it. 

This was a Purple Grade armor, and it had a 30% reduction effect on elemental damage.

Of course, he would not waste such a good item. 

However, to Chen Feng’s surprise, the shield was way too heavy!

The shield weighed at least 100 kilograms. Even with Chen Feng’s enhanced physique, he still needed to use both of his hands to support it.

Boom!

Lightning surged over, and its power seemed even more terrifying than before.

The speed of lightning was equal to the speed of light.

That was a speed of 300000km/s!

The lightning had already struck Chen Feng when it fell from the clouds.

Lightning surged down and drowned Chen Feng like a tidal wave.

The light was overly dazzling.

As a result, everyone’s eyes were filled with nothing but a vast expanse of whiteness. Nobody could figure out Chen Feng’s current state.

This was the second strike!

Would Chen Feng be able to withstand this bolt of lightning?
