Chapter 2173 Spirit Torture! (2)
This was completely beyond his expectations.
The experience of climbing the Spiritual Hollow Mountain before had given him a false impression, making him think that this mountain would be the same. However, reality proved otherwise.
Soon, he climbed a thousand meters, and suddenly, a strong wind swept in from all around.
This wind seemed to come from nowhere, as if it appeared out of thin air, directly blowing onto his spiritual ent.i.ty.
"It's here!"
"I knew it wouldn't be so simple!"
w.a.n.g Teng's expression changed, and his face became serious. At the same time, waves of pain spread from his body. This was the wind specifically targeting spiritual ent.i.ties!
He lowered his head to take a look, and there was no trace of injury on his body, but the cutting pain felt substantial.
Puff!
Another gust of wind blew, and w.a.n.g Teng's entire face contorted. He gasped for cold air.
d.a.m.n, it hurts
w.a.n.g Teng gritted his teeth, endured the fierce wind, and continued to climb upward, trying to speed up as much as possible.
However, the restrictions of this mountain kept his speed within a certain range, unable to exceed it, forcing him to climb methodically.
He didn't know how long he had been climbing, and w.a.n.g Teng felt numb all over. Every part of his body was in pain as if he had been cut a thousand times.
If his willpower hadn't been strong enough, he would be unable to bear it.
Just at this moment, the fierce wind suddenly disappeared. w.a.n.g Teng was slightly stunned and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Thank goodness! He was still alive!
Boom!
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck directly at him.
"What the h.e.l.l!" w.a.n.g Teng couldn't help but curse as he endured the thunderous impact.
This feeling was simply indescribable!
Before, he used to bear lightning strikes with his physical body, but this time, his spiritual ent.i.ty endured the lightning, which felt even more painful than enduring it with his physical body.
What drove him crazy was that right after the fierce wind, lightning followed, providing absolutely no opportunity for rest.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Before w.a.n.g Teng could think too much, several bolts of lightning struck again.
This time, there were three thunderbolts in a row!
He was left charred on the outside and tender on the inside. Although the lightning was painful, it was like the fierce windleaving no visible marks.
Immediately, he snapped back to reality and hurriedly continued climbing.
He had almost been stunned just now, forgetting even to climb the mountain.
w.a.n.g Teng was not foolish. Based on the previous two rounds of torment, it seemed that the type of "torture" would change at regular intervals.
For example, it was fierce wind before, followed by lightning. Perhaps, next in line would be flames.
What he needed to do now was to surpa.s.s this region as quickly as possible, or rather, to reach the summit as quickly as possible.
This cursed peak was even more torturous than the Spiritual Hollow Mountain.
The Spiritual Hollow Mountain only required him to climb, but this mountain was truly a torment.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Bolts of lightning struck down, relentlessly pounding w.a.n.g Teng's form, making every cell in his body feel an unparalleled agony.
The pain levels of the fierce wind and the lightning were comparable, yet entirely different. One was akin to a lacerating pain, and the other, a terrifying stabbing sensation.
This torment worked on w.a.n.g Teng's spiritual ent.i.ty, intensifying his sensations as if his entire being were on the verge of collapse.
After an indeterminate period, the lightning abruptly ceased.
w.a.n.g Teng was on his guard. He scanned his surroundings vigilantly.
Boom!
A ball of crimson flames descended directly from above, enveloping him entirely.
"I swear, d.a.m.n it" w.a.n.g Teng felt pain throughout his body as if he were being seared in a furnace.
"Me and my jinxed mouth!"
"Why did I have to mention fire? And fire really came! Am I so accurate?"
"What's next? Ice?"
"Ice and fire!"
w.a.n.g Teng was speechless. He bore with the excruciating pain and climbed up the mountain frantically.
b.a.l.l.s of flames descended from the sky, relentlessly scorching his spiritual form.
Bearing the pain with gritted teeth, his face grew paler, and his spiritual ent.i.ty gradually thinned. Under this continuous torment, his spiritual energy was severely depleted, and with no replenishment in sight, it was at risk of dissipating.
At the mountain's summit, the figure shook its head, a hint of disappointment apparent in its eyes, before turning its gaze back to the void.
"I can't go on like this!"
w.a.n.g Teng felt a weight on his heart. He sensed that if this continued, his spiritual strength wouldn't withstand the journey to the mountaintop. He needed to find another solution.
"This torment is directly targeting the spirit, or, in other words, the soul. What is the soul?"
"Wait a minute, the soul can be considered a form of willpower!"
"Willpower! Willpower!"
"My Primordial Consciousness! My Unyielding Lightning Battle Conscious! Aren't these forms of willpower? When they emanate, they transform into auras, but fundamentally, they are a kind of willpower!"
In an instant, a flash of insight crossed w.a.n.g Teng's mind. He immediately employed the power of his own will, the only recourse he had in this situation.
In this predicament where other methods were ineffective, willpower could still be utilized.
Boom!
At that moment, a terrifying aura erupted from w.a.n.g Teng's spiritual form.
The ancient and vast willpower, the unwavering resolve, the lightning authorityall three forms of conscious simultaneously burst forth.
His spiritual ent.i.ty became like an immortal lightning deity, majestic, ancient, and impervious to violation.
His spiritual form once again solidified, resisting the flames that surrounded him.
w.a.n.g Teng continued to climb, aiming to traverse this fiery region as quickly as possible.
"Huh?" At the mountain's summit, the figure's eyes revealed a hint of surprise, and a look of keen interest appeared on its face.
On the mountain wall, a figure resembling a monkey ablaze with flames continued to climb, unwavering and indomitable.
