Chapter 266 World panic and gathering of "Gods" (1)
Looking at the hurricane wind that had formed a spiral tube-shaped monster that was over a hundred kilometers in diameter with a height of several thousand kilometers, Nangong Jun felt that his throat was dry; it was as if he had not drunk any liquid for several months.
Crack...
Boom!
But what surprised Nangong Jun the most was the constant cracking of blue lightning dancing in and out of the eye of the storm constantly. Even now, after he had already had an initial confrontation against Xie Feng before, the Nangong Family ancestor still couldn't understand how a person could control an element just like that.
On his way to Antarctica, Nangong Jun was curious as to how it was possible for a twenty years old young man to be able to use two elements at the same time and be so skilled in both; therefore, he simply asked Nangong Wentian what he knew about Xie Feng. One could imagine the shock Nangong Jun received when he heard from the mouth of the current patriarch of the family he was protecting that Xie Feng had actually gained control over lightning after devouring the lightning from his Lightning World skill.
Nangong Wentian was no fool; as the patriarch of the Nangong Family, his father trained him to the best of his ability before passing the leadership seat to him and passing away. Although his temper was somewhat explosive, this did not mean that he did not know how to tell the difference. Precisely for this reason, how could Nangong Wentian not understand that Xie Feng actually acquired some mastery over lightning after fighting him?
The problem that Nangong Jun could not figure out was how could Xie Feng master the elements in such a way? If it was that easy then he and the other four ancestors who had lived countless years would have already mastered all the elements that existed on the whole earth! But more importantly... How was it possible for someone so young to have such immense power to such a level!?
Looking at the beautiful but at the same time terrifying sight of the black wind with lightning flashing around it, Nangong Jun could not understand how Xie Feng could make use of such a terrifying power at his age. If Xie Feng had a patriarch level of power, then Nangong Jun could accept it; after all, Yao Mei wasn't too far off when she had only just turned 15.... But the difference between the patriarch level and the ancestor level was like comparing an ant to a person; there was simply no room for comparison.
Precisely because there was no room to compare between the two levels of power, the patriarchs of the five great families kept dying while they, ancestors, continued to live on even after so long.
"Ancestor Nangong!"
Xie Feng's voice thundered from the center of the typhoon.... If you could still call something of such magnitude a typhoon.
Even amidst the terrifying explosions caused by the wind and lightning along with the constant demolition of the ice and ground beneath his feet, Nangong Jun could hear Xie Feng's voice with absolute clarity.
"Try not to die!" Xie Feng joked with laughter.
"Hmph... Brat, those are my words!" Nangong Jun showed no weakness.
"Since you're giving it your all, then let me honor you with the same privilege!" Nangong Jun raised his right hand towards the sky and made a grabbing gesture as he said, "It's been who knows how many centuries since I last used this, try not to die, kid!"
BOOM!!
Over the sky now obscured by the agglomeration of heavy wind, a powerful explosion shook the heavens. Immediately after, as if by imperial decree of the gods, billions of gigantic blue snakes created by lightning began to crowd together.
BOOM!!!
BOOM!!!
BOOM!!!
Explosion on explosion shook the south pole of planet Earth and layer after layer of ice could not resist the pressure of the wind and the burning heat of the lightning. The ice that had been frozen since before the history of humans began to slowly defrost.
The blue light from the lightning began to illuminate the eastern area where Nangong Jun stood. It reached such a point that even people from Europe and Asia screamed in amazement as they recorded with their cell phones and cameras in the direction of the southern part of the planet!
Millions and millions of people began to cry out about the end of the world and the internatuas began all kinds of ramblings while the religious prayed to their god. It was no surprise considering that the west of Antarctica had darkened as if the devil himself had descended to earth while the east of the ice continent was illuminated as if the god of light had come to give his verdict!
"Spear of Indra!" Nangong Jun roared at the top of his lungs as he looked up at the sky above his head!
BOOOOM!!!
A terrifying explosion shook a great part of the ocean, raising waves several hundred meters high and the sea life shuddered in terror.... Fortunately both were fighting far away from human life, otherwise, the consequences of tsunamis of such magnitude reaching land would be a total disaster!
Lightning exploded and in less than a second, a gigantic lightning spear appeared over the skies! The spear conjured by Nangong Jun was so large that it didn't even seem to lose to the mighty presence of the hurricane of wind and lightning!
"With all this, it looks like it will be impossible not to attract attention..." Gu Pojun said worriedly as he gazed in astonishment at the scene in front of his eyes.
"So what?" Gu Yating snorted, "If even with our power we have to limit ourselves so much, then what are we living for? What's the difference between us and the rest of the humans?"
"That's..." Gu Pojun did not know what to say. Although what the Gu Family ancestor said was true considering that a normal human being had an average lifespan of 65 to 80 years while even the weakest skill user could live for a century, Gu Pojun preferred to keep the existence of these people a secret to avoid disturbances in society.
"Well, it looks like we'll be having a visitor soon." Said a robust man who appeared to be 55 years old. So far, he was the only one of the five ancestors who had not said a word; he was Yang Luoyang, ancestor of the Yang Family.
Yang Luoyang was a man of few words and always had a stern expression on his face along with a large heavy beard; therefore, when he spoke, everyone paid attention to him.
"Some old folks back then seemed to sense that something interesting was happening here so they are on their way to this place." Yang Luoyang continued as he looked toward Europe and America.
Just as the Yao Family ancestor was about to say something, Gu Yating interrupted, "Here it comes!"
Looking straight ahead, everyone's eyes widened and terror filled them as they saw the giant lightning spear descending from the heavens; it was as if the spear intended to destroy everything. But that was not all.
Even more terrifying, the gigantic black wind hurricane carrying an lightning storm within it began to advance explosively towards the descending spear!
BOOM
BOOOOM!
BOOOOOOOOOOOM!
Even though they had not yet met, the closer the two attacks that carried terrifying energy got, the more powerful explosions caused everyone's ears to go dizzy and gigantic waves to form uncontrollably.
It reached such a point of terror that Gu Yating's face changed slightly when he quickly began to control the surrounding ocean water to calm the raging sea. If it were not for him, hundreds of waves several thousand kilometers high would have reached the coast of some countries and the lives of thousands and hundreds of thousands of people would have been lost!
"How could such a terrifying power exist in this world!" Yang Li'er cried out in fright. Her previously excited face had turned as pale as a sheet and the terror in her gaze was visible to anyone who looked at her.
Yang Tian, who had an extremely ugly expression on his face, reaffirmed his father's words even more.
Mu Xue, the matriarch of the Mu Family, had an expression of fear but also many more complicated emotions as she looked at the terrifying cyclone obliterating everything that tried to get in its path.
Mu Wuying and Xie Yao both had expressions of fear but that fear could not hide the proud shine on their faces as they looked at the black storm getting closer and closer to the blue lightning spear. It was as if the person who had caused such a phenomenon was not Xie Feng, but them. But from the point of view of both of them, the mere fact of loving the cause of such a creation and being reciprocated was enough to fill them with pride!
As for Gu Qianxue, although she could not see what was happening, just hearing the praise for Xie Feng and the terror in the voice of the others was enough to make her pride no less than that felt by Mu Wuying and Xie Yao.
The three beauties had the same thoughts; "that person is the man I love!"
The gazes of practically all the coastal areas and vicinity of the Asian and European countries had focused on the same place. Even though they could not see the forms clearly, just by looking at the obvious approach between light and darkness as well as the faint sound of explosions, many began to scream in terror while some even came to the point of committing suicide due to panic.
Boom...
Boom!
Even tens of thousands of kilometers away, the sound of the explosions still could not be suppressed and traveled from the ocean to the mainland!
