When they heard what Sima You Yue said, Ninth Roc’s hand trembled and looked worriedly at Little Roc.
She had also pa.s.sed the lightning trials and naturally knew how terrifying those lightning strikes were. Ancient Primordial Lands had many sacred beasts and many did not wish to transform because they felt that the lightning trials were too scary. Seeing how many sacred beasts had failed, and were eventually burnt to ashes, they were too terrified.
“Mother, don’t worry. Believe that I can do it!” Little Roc consoled her.
“Mm, you have to do your best!” Ninth Roc knew that this was something he had to go through on his own. There was no piece of advice she could give.
Sima You Yue said to Wind Roc, “I’ll have to trouble you to get the elders and the others to leave this place.”
“Okay.” Wind Roc waved his hand, and those four winged rocs flew out of the valley, leaving the area that Sima You Yue had told him to.
Sima You Yue looked at Sima Lie and the others. They all sat on the flying beasts to leave the area that would be affected by the lightning trials.
“Mother, you should leave as well.” Little Roc said to Ninth Roc, who was unwilling to go, “I will be fine.”
“Mm.” Ninth Roc could not bear to as she patted Little Roc and prepared to leave. She saw that Sima You Yue was still around, and said, “I’ll take you with me.”
“I’ll stay and keep Little Roc company.” Sima You Yue said, “We have a contracted relations.h.i.+p, so we can combat the lightning together.”
Ninth Roc was stunned, and n.o.body knew what she was thinking as she said, “Thank you.”
As she spoke, she transformed back into her original body, flapped her wings and left.
Once everyone had left them, Sima You Yue said, “We can begin. Halcyon, come out and teach Little Roc how to draw the lightning.”
Halcyon appeared, causing Chou Xiao Tian, who was far away, another shock. How did this guy have so many contracted beasts? Apart from these right here, did he have any more?
Halcyon taught Little Roc how to regulate his inner qi, and Little Roc attempted to do what Halcyon had said. He realised that some grey clouds started to drift in, in the skies above. As he increased in speed, the number of grey clouds that changed also increased.
Sima You Yue saw that it was about to happen, so she kept Halcyon away and began to activate the array. She took out those items that Fatty Qu had crafted and got Little Roc and herself to wear it. After that, she took out some pills and got Little Roc to put one in his mouth in case of emergency, and she did the same.
Wei Zi Qi and the others were watching the events unfold from far away. They saw the dark clouds coming in non stop, and said worriedly, “Why are those dark clouds still gathering?”
“It looks like there’s even more lightning than Halcyon’s one. It still growing even now. Could it be that Little Roc’s lightning trials will be even more powerful than Little Roc’s?” Fatty Qu was worried as well, “You Yue and him will be fine, right?”
“When Halcyon transformed, he was in the Yilin continent. The sky there was rather suppressed, and the lightning was not as powerful as the one up here. Furthermore, Little Roc’s bloodline was even more powerful. It is said that the more powerful the bloodline, the more powerful the lightning trials!” Ouyang Fei said.
“Also, Little Roc wants to use the power of the lightning strikes to awaken his bloodline. I’m afraid that it will be even more difficult at the end.” Bei Gong Tang said.
Ninth Roc and the others were even more worried. They had never seen a lightning trial like this. This was even more terrifying than the others they had gone through.
Sima You Yue watched as clouds began to gather in the sky and her eyebrows knit together. Based on what she was seeing, this lightning trial would not be an easy one.
“Could it be that this lightning trial could sense the bloodline of the Great Roc in you, so it became so d.a.m.n huge?” She could not help but purse her lips when she saw how large the lightning clouds were and were still growing.
It was a good thing that she had done quite a bit of preparation this time. If she had combated it immediately, she might have been electrocuted into nonexistence!
Just as the first lightning strike was about to land, Crimson Flame appeared. He flipped a golden drop of blood towards Little Roc and Little Roc opened his mouth to let the blood droplet land inside.
“Use the power of the lightning strikes to catalyse it.” As he finished speaking, he headed back into the spirit paG.o.da.
Sima You yue was speechless. This guy didn’t even give her a hi or bye as he came and left.
“Bzzt-”
There was a sound of lightning but it just refused to strike. It was as if it was just tormenting them.
The activity attracted quite a few people, and many sat on the flying beast. Rus.h.i.+ng over, they wanted to see what kind of spirit beast it was that would cause such a huge commotion.
Seeing that more and more people came, Chou Xiao Tian’s expression turned ugly. If this happened, their whereabouts would definitely be exposed.
As expected, they saw that quite a few people had seen them and had gathered together to discuss, before a few of them retreat off quickly.
However, it was expected that even the Fei clan would not dare to act against Sima You Yue and the rest directly. Once Little Roc pa.s.sed the lightning trials, he would have the power of the awakened bloodline and become the Great Roc. He would be able to order an unlimited number of the birds. The Fei Clan would not dare offend him!
Sima You yue was currently too busy to bother about what was happening around her. She was completely focused on the sky above.
It was a good that, when she was getting Sima You Lin to set up this array, she had thought of this point. This array also had a protection array set up so that n.o.body else would be able to enter and prevent the lightning from getting stronger.
“It’s coming.” Sima You Yue said, “The lighting won’t be that powerful in the beginning so you should handle that on your own. It will be able to boost your bloodline, and change your physique. I’ll battle with you at the end.”
“Okay.” Little Roc replied, and prepared himself to face it.
Those people who had initially come, were extremely surprised when they saw Sima You Yue and Little Roc standing together.
“Is that the contracted master of the beast?”
“What is he doing there? Could it be that he wants to face it with the beast?”
“Is he crazy? He’s actually battling with the spirit beast?”
“I’ve never seen anyone like him! Is he not afraid of dying by the strikes?”
“Exactly. If the spirit beast is killed, he can always just contract another. If he gets struck to death, he will have no other path!”
“Isn’t that so? This person is either really stupid or is too good to his contracted beast.”
“This lightning trial is also a little too big, isn’t it.”
Everyone realised that something was off.
“It seems so. Isn’t the trial for the four winged roc? I’ve never seen one this huge!”
“It must be one of a high bloodline. I’ve heard that four winged rocs have the Great Roc’s bloodline. Could this be it?
“It’s possible. Guys, look! His feather has a trace of gold!”
“Zap-”
Just as everyone was crying out, the first lightning had finally struck and was charging straight at Little Roc.
Just as the lightning strike had encountered the teleportation array, a few lighting strikes were absorbed and sent somewhere else, dispersing a lot of its strength. when it landed on Little Roc’s body, the lightning clothing that Fatty Qu had crafted was of some use and dissipated some force of the lightning as well.
The remaining lightning entered Little Roc’s body, and pain filled his entire consciousness.
The golden drop of blood in his mouth released an ancient aura, and when he was struck, it started to move about in his body wantonly.
Very quickly, the second bout of lightning shot down and the lightning cover on Little Roc’s body was broken apart. However, it still blocked quite a bit of lightning.
“Zap-”
Little Roc could feel that his body was awakening. As he cried out towards the sky, he realised that the aura in the area was causing the entire bird clan to shudder.
