The Geared Immortal

1448 War Of The Gods And Demons: Chapter 48



The balancing of the chaotic Ki in the surrounding became worried some as the group travels through the forest. Behind them, they could feel a strange aura churning the surroundings as the dark clouds above creates a powerful surge as it became darker.

Rumble! Rumble!

A powerful aura coming from the heavens began to form as the darkness above suddenly lit up and a blinding light erupted.

Crash!!!

A lightning strike as thick as a person with a golden hue suddenly appears and crash landed on Xin Ja\'s body.

Though Xin Ja still has his cultivation covered, as of this moment, his cultivation style could not cover his strength anymore.

The golden hue of the lightning now shows the same hue as the orb in his dantian which houses the 50 golden spheres inside of it.

The 50 spheres inside his dantian began to revolve within their spheres which in turn created a small gravitational field. They now seem to look like 50 tiny glowing suns inside his dantian absorbing the power from outside.

As the lightning hits his body, Xin Ja was thrown to the ground by the sheer force of the lightning\'s energy.

He could not even fight back as his body landed inside a small crater.

Boom!!!

A small mushroom cloud could be seen rising high up in the sky atop the sea of trees.

That first strike made Xin Ja feel a bit stunned as this is the first time that he experienced such a lightning tribulation.

It was truly powerful, but for some reason, his physique is able to hold the force.

Crackle! Crackle!

His body is now filled with the strong radiation of Ki energy glowing around him.

If a regular person would be exposed to such energy, they would surely melt into a puddle of blood.

But such energy is beneficial to him as he greedily absorbed them into his dantian.

As he gathers the energy, it began to form into another sphere. But this sphere formation is forming outside of his dantian.

So right now, there is a big golden sphere and a new small golden sphere forming inside of his dantian.

"The energy is not enough!" he muttered as he looks at the sky.

Without hesitation, he flew high up in the air and charged at the dark clouds.

The heavens seem to have detected his outrageous action it quickly formed another ball of lightning energy and attack the insolent fool who challenges its magnificence.

Ka-Boom!!!

The lightning strike once again descended and hit the charging body of Xin Ja. Once again, the strong force from heaven sent him to the ground buried deeper into the crevice that his body has already made.

Xin Ja spat a mouthful of blood as he absorbed the rich amount of Ki energy radiation.

Pop!!!

Something seems to have broken as the energy now freely gushes inside the now newly formed sphere in his dantian.

Reaching the 51st level or the Shen realm is something that made him feel elated. With this strength, he could now fight back against those powerful beings.

He would not be an onlooker but would be one of the fighters to fight against them.

Xin Ja stood up and patted his already burnt clothing. His upper body gleamed with a golden hue as the energy around him has not been fully absorbed.

He once again flew high up in the sky trying to challenge the limits of the heavens.

The lightning tribulation is the punishment of the heavens to those that dare to reach the Shen realm which is the highest realm in this world.

As he charges with a wide smile on his face, another lightning strike came down.

But this time, Xin Ja did not just let it land on his body. He has already tempered his outer physique with those two strikes. This time, he wanted to temper his inner body.

Without hesitation, he formed a hand seal, and then several runes flew out in an instant. The runes formed a circular trigram in front of him.

Crash!!!

The lighting landed on the trigram formation, which sent the figure of Xin Ja flying back a few meters but he did not stop.

He continuously charges as the trigram absorbs the heavenly lightning.

Inside his body, the heavenly lightning began to cause chaos as his inner organs, nerves, and meridians began to be immersed in the power of the heavenly lightning.

He absorbed everything and gritted his teeth through the painful experience.

But the purging process is something of a must, so he knew that he has to do this to become stronger.

After absorbing the lightning energy, he did not fall down to the ground.

As if this is an upfront challenge to its authority, the lightning tribulation once again threw another bolt of lightning at the challenger.

However, the human still floated in the air as if nothing can affect him.

Of course, Xin Ja is grimacing in pain right now as the lightning energy tempers his body.

The quick healing and damage he is experiencing began to temper his already strong body making it stronger than ever.

Four, five, six… ten… eleven… fifteen.

Fifteen lightning strikes hit Xin Ja\'s body and the last strike sent him tumbling to the ground creating a bigger hole and a larger mushroom cloud high up in the sky.

With the tempering of his body and a large amount of energy he has gathered, Xin Ja was able to reach the 53rd level and could feel his body reaching the same level as his powers.

He is just so happy right now that he is able to finally temper his physique and his power reaching the point that he could now be considered one of the most powerful beings in this world.

Though he is not moving, his face is full of smiles while looking at the dissipating clouds in the sky.

"Hahaha…" he chuckled but then spat some black blood on the ground.

He lay in that position for a while, and the sound of his bones crackling could be heard as his body slowly healed from his wounds.

"That was dangerous, but it was well worth it…" he thought.

The enlightenment he had was the key which in turn made heaven open up its power and grant him his wishes.

To create something strong and powerful, one should temper it with diligence, slowly but surely creating quality goods that could stand the test of time and the environment itself.

And that is how one should create an artifact.

Xin Ja seems to have turned his body into an artifact, and the lightning tribulation is the one tempering him into fine and powerful gear.

"Hahaha…" he chuckled once again and then grabs the sword-like pendant near his ring.

With a thought, the sword-like pendants turned into a liquid and began to cover his whole body.

As he began floating in the air, the liquid slowly hardens and armor began to form covering him from head to toe.

The bionic armor which covers Xin Ja is like the armor that he had made in the past.

But this particular armor already has integrated weaponry.

Laser energy from his fists, an energy sword blade from his lower arm, a transforming bionic shield from his left arm, and other arsenals embedded on his body.

With such armor and gears integrated into one, he has now fulfilled his enlightenment… he has finally become the geared immortal.

As his figure floated high up in the sky, he suddenly noticed a few movements from the ground.

Suddenly, he saw a giant mantis with metallic sickle-like arms pouncing at him.

His headgear looks like a futuristic fighter pilot helmet without the breather, which would automatically appear when needed, showing his smirking smile.

With a quick move of his body, he lifted his arms and catches the sharp sickles of the giant mantis.

He exerted a slight effort and with a kick flings the body of the mantis to the ground. But its sickles are left in Xin Ja\'s hands.

Without hesitation, he suddenly flew to the side and dodges a large mouth that suddenly appears behind him.

He uses the sharp sickles to sever the head of that gigantic maw from its body.

By this time, more than ten giant creatures have appeared below him and they all attacked simultaneously.

Seeing his opponents and their frantic attacks, a slight smile appears on Xin Ja\'s mouth.

"You guys think that I was weakened after that tribulation? Then all of you are mistaken… Hehe…" he chuckled as his body quickly moved and began a massacre in the forest.

Not too far from the location, stood a figure.

With a deep frown on his face, he watches intently at the battle as his expression turned gloomy as time went by.

"How is this possible? How that man can be so strong that even the Rank-B-possessed demons are no match to him?" he muttered in anger.

This figure is Stoll, the insect lord. He is one of the right-hand generals of Yol-gar.

He was tasked to hunt down Xin Ja. His group arrives in this place after his spies gathered some information from the base.

But who would have known that the person they are hunting would be this fierce in battle?
