The lightning bolt, brewing for an entire day, finally struck.
Qi Tian, slightly impatient, raised his head. He stared at the descending lightning and slowly said, "I was beginning to think you wouldn't come down."
The next second, the cube in his hand transformed into armor and clad him.
As the purplish-black lightning fell, a black hole suddenly appeared on the armor, and the lightning shot into it.
Without a ripple.
Neither the armor nor Qi Tian was affected by the purplish-black lightning.
However, it was different for the mass of dark clouds in the sky.
The instant the first bolt was devoured, the dark clouds became frenzied, seemingly enraged.
It had prepared for so long, gathering power for a whole day, only for not even a splash to be made. How could it not be angry?
Therefore, as the second bolt brewed, the pressure in the area reached its peak.
This was a lightning bolt that even the Old Heavenly Master couldn't help but retreat a league from.
"Good heavens... you two are more monstrous than each other," the Old Heavenly Master murmured to himself.
The lightning had clearly discovered that Qi Tian had taken a shortcut.
All the cultivation he currently possessed was something he shouldn't have on this divine land. However, Qi Tian, through self-hypnosis and drawing inspiration from the Pope, had undergone a process that should not have existed on the divine land.
He was a god, but a Western god in the East.
He had no divine seat even in the West, making Qi Tian seem like an undocumented resident.
Initially, the Heavenly Way hadn't noticed these anomalies. His cultivation had changed very subtly. But after this lightning strike, everything was revealed.
Almost instantaneously, the intensity of the purplish-black lightning tripled!
"It seems... it's angry."
Qi Tian looked up at the sky, but he showed no fear. A dark, lustrous sheen flowed across his armor, and faint traces of lightning crackled on its surface.
This was the power of the lightning Qi Tian had absorbed earlier, which had been converted into the armor's strength.
You have your plan, I have my counter.
The lightning, as if unwilling to give him any chance, descended with a mighty force and supreme heavenly might, targeting Qi Tian.
"I am immortal."
Qi Tian smiled faintly. As he uttered this confident statement, a soft, milky-white glow emanated from him.
The black hole on the outside of the armor also expanded threefold!
The purplish-black lightning was instantly swallowed by the black hole.
"Hmm?"
The Old Heavenly Master blinked. This armor was so powerful? It could devour lightning of this caliber?
Was this the power of an immortal artifact?
However, after the purplish-black lightning was absorbed, a chaotic tempest was soon visible on Qi Tian's body.
Even an immortal artifact could not completely devour the wrath of the Heavenly Way.
This residual power was released by the armor when it could not fully absorb the lightning.
Even the residual waves were on par with the first bolt of lightning.
The exposed skin of Qi Tian instantly turned charred black.
He, his entire body, turned into a piece of charcoal.
"This kid, he's gone?"
Zhang Wuwei, watching from afar, couldn't help but ask as he saw the charcoal-like Qi Tian.
The Old Heavenly Master beside him slowly shook his head. "No, his aura is very healthy."
As he finished speaking, the charred layer outside Qi Tian's body began to flake off, piece by piece.
