Chapter 859: Let the Lightning Strike Even Harder
"Boom!" The deafening thunder rolled within the clouds. If one were in space, they would clearly see the entire planet almost shrouded in a thick layer of clouds.
The meaning of the Cosmic Law's existence is to destroy everything that should not exist!
The birth, aging, illness, and death of humans are the rules of the universe. Once someone becomes a Transcender, it breaks this rule, which is not allowed under the Cosmic Law. Thus, Tribulation Lightning will appear to destroy him.
Similarly, top-class pills and divine weapons are also not permitted by the Cosmic Law. Once they appear, they must undergo a baptism by the Cosmic Law!
If one digs deeper for the reason, it is the principle of entropy increase. The meaning of the Cosmic Law's existence is to maintain the stability and balance of the universe, while Transcenders and divine weapons are existences that disrupt the cosmic balance!
"This Law Thunder might sweep the entire planet!"
"This is the precursor to the birth of a divine weapon. Haven't you seen how the Tribulation Lightning for the demigod weapons forged by the other three masters has already been devoured? This is possibly an unprecedented Law Thunder!"
"Shouldn't we leave this planet immediately? I suspect this planet might not withstand the power of such lightning strikes!"
"Yes! This Tribulation Lightning cannot be interfered with. If external forces intervene, it could lead to unpredictable consequences. Not even a demigod may be able to rectify it!"
...
"What? Someone has forged a divine weapon? And it is about to undergo the baptism of Law Thunder?" At this time, the organization department of the Artifact Refiner's Association was in chaos.
They had evaluated the strength of this planet when choosing the competition venue and had invited some masters to empower it with numerous inscriptions and arrays to enhance the planet's endurance to a higher level.
Even if a demigod weapon was truly forged in this competition and Law Thunder was drawn, only the corresponding artifact refiner would be tested, and the planet and the audience would not have to bear substantial risks.
However, the development of this artifact refining competition had completely exceeded their expectations. Someone had forged a divine weapon, triggering powerful Law Thunder that was about to sweep the entire planet. Who the hell can withstand this?
"The godly civilization again, the godly civilization! A few months ago, they treated our artifact refiner's association as a recruitment fair for the Ming Sect, and now they have stirred up such a sensational event in the competition. Why do they cause unrest wherever they go?"
"Is the safety assessment ready?" the person in charge asked urgently.
"Minister, the results are in. All the arrays and inscriptions on this planet have been activated; they can withstand an impact of approximately 1,200 energy units."
"And what about the thunderstorm caused by Wang Dachui?"
"Acc... according to the current energy accumulation in the clouds, the power will exceed at least 2,000 units, and we cannot intervene. Otherwise, the entire Asiga Civilization could face annihilation!"
"Dong!" The person in charge slammed the table hard. "There is no way out. Organize an evacuation! Arrange all the on-site spectators to a temporary viewing area. Continue synchronized broadcasting through quantum entanglement technology!"
"What about those artifact refining masters? Most of them haven't completed their works yet, and I'm afraid..."
"If they're not afraid of death, they can continue the competition!" the person in charge said peevishly. How did a grand artifact refining event turn into this? It's all the fault of the godly civilization troublemakers!
...
"Now broadcasting an urgent notice: Due to uncontrollable reasons, this artifact refining competition must be temporarily halted. All on-site spectators, please follow the staff's guidance to leave in an orderly manner. We will continue synchronized live broadcasting through quantum entanglement technology!"
"Refining masters on site, those whose strength is below Transcender are also advised to abandon the competition and evacuate immediately. Otherwise, bear all the consequences that follow!"
...
The announcement at the competition site turned the entire venue into chaos. The Cosmic Artifact Refiner Contest has been held for tens of thousands of years to date, but such an incident had never occurred before.
There had been instances where artifact refining masters triggered Law Thunder, causing some chaos, but it had never reached such an extent.
"Sorry, everyone!" Fang Jueyu shouted, "Some minor mishaps occurred. I wanted to stay low-key, but my abilities wouldn't allow me!"
"Low-key? You call this low-key? You've disrupted the entire competition; is this your way of being low-key?" Countless people cursed in their hearts, but they had no choice; their lives were more important. Even if they were reluctant, they had to choose to evacuate.
"How about this: I, on behalf of the godly civilization's Ming Sect, will fully reimburse all on-site spectators for their tickets and round-trip travel expenses. This is my compensation to everyone!" Fang Jueyu continued.
This somewhat appeased the indignant audience.
...
"How much money does this kid have now?" On the core planet of the Fang Family, a group of people who looked almost identical, accompanied by their spouses, were also following this competition.
"Not sure, but except for the first few years after leaving Earth, ever since he got into the Cosmic Federation School, this kid has almost never used the family's resources again," Fang Xiangpan said.
Fang Pi smiled contentedly, "Looks like this kid has had quite a few adventures over the years!"
"Isn't it? The Ming Sect he established, when converted to cosmic credits, is almost about a third of our family's assets, and they have only been developing for a few years!"
"Don't mention it. Talking about this makes me angry!" said a Fang family ancestor who seemed somewhat frail at first glance.
"Fang Chongma, what are you upset about?"
"I don't know what this kid did at the Cosmic Federation School. A while ago, I was being chased by hundreds of people, saying it was the women's victim association. How am I going to spread my branches in the cosmos now?"
"Alright, enough. Stop talking. Xiao Yu is about to face off against the Law Thunder!" Fang Huai's expression was serious and even a little worried.
"Fang Huai, no need to be so tense. You're his father, shouldn't you know his personality?"
"Hahaha, indeed!" Fang Huai laughed, relieved. Fang Jueyu has never done anything without certainty. Since he decided to stay on the field to continue competing, it shows he has absolute confidence to complete this work!
...
In just a few minutes, the spectators and relatively weak artifact refiners on-site had already left the planet under the organizers' arrangements. Those who remained, besides Fang Jueyu, were only the three artifact refining masters who had also reached the final steps.
"You three, do you still intend to complete the competition?" Fang Jueyu asked. He had already sensed the thunderclouds beginning to rage, with a power that would make even a typical Transcender suffocate.
"This is my first demigod weapon work, and I will complete it no matter what!" Wobeilik said with unwavering determination.
"Me too!" Carellas said, "The younger generation is formidable. While I admit there is quite a gap compared to you, today we are not challenging you but ourselves."
"The two of you are truly masters!" From them, Fang Jueyu did not sense the arrogance typical of other artifact refining masters. Perhaps this is the purest form of a master?
"Handsome, are you in too?"
Lizka chuckled bitterly, "No, this time I just want to test how much of my teacher's skill I've learned. I'm staying just to personally witness the birth of a divine weapon."
"Aren't you afraid I'll get struck directly to death?" Fang Jueyu laughed.
"No, my intuition tells me you will succeed!"
"Then your intuition is quite accurate!" Fang Jueyu's aura suddenly shifted, his sharp gaze piercing the clouds, "Then I'll give you a chance to witness the emergence of a divine weapon!"
Fang Jueyu spread his arms and shouted towards the sky, "Let the lightning come fiercer!"
