Ascension

Chapter 224: Punishment from heaven, no promotion

"call--"

The wind is freezing and the snowflakes are flying.

It's another cold winter, and the earth is covered with a thick layer of silver frost. There are thousands of miles of mountains and forests, and a world of pink and jade everywhere.

The wild spirits, no matter how active they were on weekdays, were now hibernating.

They hide underground and deep in ponds, waiting patiently for the coming spring to bloom.

"Ga! Quack!!"

Palm-sized snowflakes dance like butterflies and can submerge low bushes in a matter of seconds.

A flash of pink gallops in the white snow, sometimes swooping, sometimes hovering, so relaxed and at ease.

"Roar!!"

Another giant bird with a wingspan of ten meters flew through the air.

It has the head of a wolf and the wings of a sparrow. It only roared a little, and the frozen stream split apart, but it couldn't bear the power of the roar.

"Da da... da da..."

Eight-legged cows and horses pace the hillside, looking for dry flowers and plants in the thick snow, chewing them carefully and tasting them slowly, leisurely.

"Ah! Ah ah ah!!"

High in the sky, hundreds of flying birds were circling, led by a large khaki bird with broad wings and a medium body.

It stretched out its neck and flapped its wings slightly, causing yellow sand to swirl around its body.

At this moment, the fineness and density of the sand and the cleanliness and softness of the snow echo each other, creating a unique and strange scene.

"Humph!"

Stepping on the snow with both webs, it was like a goose falling into a deep pit. He raised his head and glanced at the sky.

Then, it closed its eyes and allowed the raging wind and snow to mercilessly submerge it.

"Ah! Ahhh!!"

The sand statue sensed something, swooped down and circled, and shouted at the Goose Immortal.

If there are any human beings who understand the language of birds, they will probably be able to tell the meanings contained in these sounds:
"Brother! It's snowing so hard! Come on up and play!"

"Chong!"

The Goose Fairy flapped his wings, and the strong wind roared, and the snowflakes flew back into the sky.

"Go, go, don't bother me."

"It's not like a three-year-old chick anymore. What are you playing with? I'm not in the mood!"

"Ah! Ahh!"

The sand sculpture refused to give up and screamed, but refused to leave.

The Goose Fairy was very worried and flapped his wings with all his strength, causing violent cold wind and snow waves to splash everywhere.

However, the sand sculpture only condenses a thin layer of yellow sand barrier, and its flying posture has no effect.

"You've all lost your life wheel. As the elder brother, I can't train you now, so you can play by yourself!"

The Great Goose kicked his eyes, and the sand sculpture shrank its neck and flew away obediently.

"Great Immortal ~ Great Immortal ~"

Another blade leader flew over with fluttering wings.

Its appearance is the same as that of the Goose Fairy, and there is no difference no matter how you compare it.

The difference is probably that Goose Daxian exudes six parts melancholy, three parts irritability and one part laziness.

And this counterfeit is [-]% innocent, [-]% leisurely, and the remaining [-]% is all mischief.

"You also leave! I don't want to see you!"

The Goose Fairy flapped its wings like an old woman picking up a broom and driving away.

"It's boring! I won't play with you!"

With a pop, Guagua turned back into a top-notch frog.

There was another pop, and it turned into a sand sculpture, fluttering its wings and flying high.

Along the way, hundreds of flying birds moved out of the way. They were as terrifying as the dire wolf king bird, as green as the wood bird, and as sharp as the swift light bat... but they were also carefully avoided.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the two sand sculptures, one real and one fake, are exactly the same in appearance.

With the naked eye, at most one end can control the yellow sand, but the other cannot, and that's it.

"Hehe, the Great Immortal is becoming more and more like a resentful woman. She is listless all day long, and the fighting spirit she once had is gone..."

Higher up the hill, there is a small temporary pavilion.

Three or five people sat together, warming hot wine and talking quietly.

"Who said it wasn't."

"Under its cultivation, my former followers were promoted to the Wheel of Life early, and their combat effectiveness is already superior to it."

"Of course, this is no longer a matter of a day or two. You should have gotten used to it a long time ago."

"But a week ago, when Guagua woke up, he was promoted to the wheel of life. Such a casual and free breakthrough method stimulated the immortal..."

Huo Xin and Dong Feng winked and smiled as if they were watching the excitement.

Yu Yu rolled his eyes and reminded while chewing snacks:

"On this mountain, the Immortal is still true to his word. No one dares to provoke it casually."

"Keep your voice down. If it is heard, hundreds of birds will come and bite you just by whistling."

"Do you think I'm stupid?" Huo Xin chuckled, "I crushed a sound-blocking charm before I dared to brag at such a close distance."

"Hey." Yu Yu glanced at him sideways, "Who was stripped naked last time and buried in the mud with his buttocks exposed?"

"My surname is Yu, if I remember correctly, I gave you ten boxes of snacks last time, and I promised you I would never mention it again!"

Huo Xin stared and puffed out his nose in anger.

"Sister Yan, look at him, he is prone to domestic violence. How can you fall in love with such a person!"

Yu Yu wiped the oil stains on his fingers, quickly hugged Yan Xuehui's arm, put on a pitiful expression, and cried for a while.

"Okay, it's rare that we have time to get together, and we started bickering as soon as we sat down..."

Yan Xuehui sighed, sat between the two of them, and separated them at once.

"How is the situation among the Three Kingdoms recently?" Tan Ziping restarted the conversation and asked seriously.

"What else can we do? It seems that Red Wana is not participating in the war. He is driving up prices behind his back. I don't know how much black money he has made." Huo Xin snorted at Yu Yu and answered instead.

"How did I hear that the Tang Emperor's ruins are about to be opened, and that Blue Frog and Grass Frog Kingdoms have recently had a tendency to withdraw their troops?" Tan Ziping frowned and murmured to himself.

"I don't know, maybe there will be a short period of peace."

Huo Xin nodded first, then shook his head, and finally said helplessly:

"The Shadow Alliance has Bai Qian, Brother Lin, and Yingxiu, and the Pirate Fire has the group leader, Vice President Sun Lin, Brother Ren, and Sha Diao. Now even Guagua has been promoted. We will definitely have no problem protecting ourselves."

"But... as long as that person doesn't come out of seclusion, we can't affect the situation among the three countries. We can only lie dormant and continue to develop."

The few people who were sipping their drinks suddenly fell silent.

After a while, Tan Ziping sighed and said:
"It's really strange. Master Han's previous ranks have been promoted so rapidly, so why is he stuck at the third rank?"

"There is no way, he is not only 'Master Han', but also 'White Crow'."

Huo Xin shrugged, "Vice President Sun also mentioned that dual powers have disadvantages and advantages. It is probably the disadvantages that limit Master Han's breakthrough."

"But... I still think it's just a matter of time."

"Master Han doesn't seem like someone who will be defeated by difficulties. For him, the fourth rank must be within his grasp."

Huo Xin's murmur just fell.

Suddenly a thunder struck down, and the sky with flying snowflakes suddenly lost order.

"Choo Choo Choo!!"

"Pulling Leng! Pulling Leng!!!"

Hundreds of birds were circling in confusion.

There were no dark clouds, no signs, and a dark blue thunder struck down for no reason. How could you not be surprised?How not to be afraid?
Thunder and lightning - has always been the uncrowned king among thousands of elements, and also the most destructive force in nature that scares all living creatures!

"Boom!!"

Like a boiling boiler, a whirlpool suddenly appeared in the sky.

All the snowflakes that poured down melted, and even the rain had no time to convert, and evaporated into nothingness in an instant.

But the cold did not go away. Huo Xin, Tan Ziping, Yu Yu, Yan Xuehui, and Dong Feng stood up suddenly.

The tingling sensation between their brows and the chill that spread throughout their bodies nourished the fear in their hearts. The leisurely mood just now disappeared, and their faces were completely filled with shock and shock.

"What happened? How could such a terrifying thunder fall out of thin air?!"

"Shh!"

On the ground buried in snowflakes, the Goose Fairy opened his eyes, swept the snow with his iron wings, and emerged again.

It stood on the ground, its long neck stretched straight out.

Eyeballs the size of copper bells stared at the changing sky.

Expressions of surprise, shock, fear, etc., flashed in the pan, and what was left was unstoppable excitement.

"A vision from heaven..."

"There are no other places, they are all concentrated on this mountain..."

"There are only a handful of life forms with special bloodlines in this mountain. Such a magnificent vision can only be attributed to him..."

"Boom!!!"

The second thunder and lightning struck, still dark blue, revealing extreme depth and mystery.Goose Fairy's excitement came to an abrupt end, and his sudden change of color caused his emotions to flip again:
"No! It's not just a vision! This is real thunder! It has been condensed into reality!"

"Notify everyone! All beasts! Leave this mountain quickly! Don't be greedy for money that has not been taken away. A little greed may become a burial object!"

The Great Goose roared loudly with all his strength.

Its voice turned into sound waves that surged into the distance.

The birds in a mess, the humans with dull faces... seemed to have found a backbone, barely regaining consciousness from fear and shock.

They ran away frantically, running to the outside of the mountain with all their strength.

"Roar!" "Ouch!!"

There are many wild spirits in the mountains.

They may not understand the human language of the Goose Immortal, but the fear in the dark is poured into their flesh and blood souls, and they abandon their nests one by one, turning into scattered beasts and running in groups.

"Boom!!!"

The third thunder struck down, thicker and more ferocious.

In an instant, the pale sky was pierced by lightning, and the whole mountain was illuminated with a transparent brightness that would not exist even when the sun was in the sky.

"My Lord, the volcano has undergone a sudden change!"

Fifty miles away, at Youlian Waterfall, a group of people in black robes were half-kneeling on the ground, not daring to raise their heads.

Lin Pingfan lost his composure. When he looked up at the distant sky, his face tightened and his pupils shrank to the extreme.

Thunder - the most powerful thing that can restrain spies and ghosts!
As a "Master of Ghost Refining" and contracted with "Tuntun Ghost", he restrained ghosts, but he still couldn't get rid of the restraint of the thunder element!
"What a terrifying thunder and lightning, it struck straight down, and the rocks on the mountain peaks were shattered into powder..."

"Could this be a vision of Master Han's promotion? But isn't he the master of the dark element? How could the thunder element appear?!"

Lin Pingfan was puzzled, and awe visible to the naked eye appeared on his face.

"Thunder clouds are gathering and thunder seas are expanding. We are not safe here."

"Instruct everyone to activate the emergency plan and escape deep underground. Prioritize saving your life!"

Bai Qian stood next to Lin Pingfan and saw that even the corpse-smelling Konjac at the Life Wheel level was trembling at such a long distance. She took a deep breath and gave the order decisively.

"Yes!"

Shadow and shadow, shadow and light, executed immediately.

"Boom!!!"

The fourth thunder struck down, and the 3000-meter-high mountain seemed to be decapitated by a magic sword.

The uppermost part that was more than 200 meters was cut off abruptly, and finally exploded, turning into a rain of gravel and falling down.

"It's too scary. I wonder if the Fire Stealing Mercenary Group will have time to evacuate. If it's a little late, it will definitely be doomed!"

Yingxiu, who couldn't hide his shock, was soaked in cold from head to toe.

After being at the fourth level for so long, this was the first time she had seen such an exaggerated scene of world destruction.

Is this really a human being experiencing a vision caused by being promoted to the fourth level?
How many secrets does this human favored master named Han Jun hide, so much so that the transition from low-level to mid-level would make the heavens moved?

Shadow Show - My thoughts are like lightning, and I am frightened and uneasy.

"Boom!!!!"

The fifth bolt of lightning struck down, and it was no longer dark blue, but dark purple.

It was like a spear falling from the sky and inserted into the mountain. When it exploded, the whole mountain shook.

"Crack... Kick..."

The cracks continued to spread, as if there was a silent wail, the mountain rock collapsed in large areas, and landslides occurred everywhere.

"Boom!!!!"

The sixth, seventh, eighth...thunders fell out of thin air, one after another, and persevered.

By the time the ninth crack was struck, there was no peak on the Pirates volcano, and the height was less than 2000 meters.

"puff……"

A figure sitting cross-legged was finally exposed to the sky.

There were blue and purple electric arcs all over his body, his arms and thighs were shaking uncontrollably, his shoulders were swaying, and his back was leaning back and forth, as if he could no longer support himself at any moment and fell to the ground.

"puff!!"

The enchantment state was forcibly lifted, Ye Hanjun interrupted his connection with Mo, and his physical fitness declined again.

In just one moment, he spat out seven mouthfuls of blood, as if he was about to vomit out his internal organs, and his whole body was covered in blood.

"Hs...hs..."

Ye Hanjun, whose right eye was blinded by electric shock and who barely opened his left eye just a crack, endured the pain that was greater than the misplaced summons, staring at the sky with soaring anger.

This is not a vision of blessing and promotion, this is heaven's punishment!Curse! !
Those who violate heaven and earth may be punished by heaven and earth. This has never been a secret among clans with higher rankings and wider horizons!
But Ye Hanjun never imagined that just being promoted from the third level to the fourth level would encounter such extreme resistance from the will of nature!
Now he understood why the ancient books he had read were never optimistic about promotions with dual powers.

Why is it that after so many eras and so much inherited knowledge, there is still no definite and reliable information proving that someone has been promoted to the 7th rank with dual powers.

——The 4th rank almost lost his life, how can the 7th rank have a chance to survive?
Ye Hanjun coughed up blood, his internal organs were ruptured, his soul was trembling, and infinite sadness filled his heart.

But he did not give in, but used this sadness and this anger to stabilize his mind.

The way to control spirits has always been against nature.

The ascension of living beings and the evolution of form are essentially capturing the luck and energy of heaven and earth and adding it to one's own body.

Although I don’t know what kind of taboo dual power represents and why it is punished so severely.

But Ye Hanjun is still alive now, and he has a hunch that he can pass this level as long as he survives one more thunderbolt.

"Boom!!!"

The tenth thunderbolt - rushed down into the sky like an evil tiger.

It fell to the ground, but only the thickness of a thumb remained.

It was like an arrow shot from a full bow, dragging a long tail flame and sinking into Lord Ye Han's eyebrows.

At that moment, Ye Hanjun's vision went dark.

As powerful as the Super Spirit is, so intense is the pain perceived.

He fell to the ground, blood spurting from his mouth.

The elixir stuffed under the tongue could not be converted into medicinal properties at all, so it was torn to pieces by the raging thunder.

"Whoosh!!"

An earthworm broke through the rock without warning and emerged from the ground.

The electric arc raged crazily, creating a destructive area like a thunder pool, and Guagua transformed back into his true form.

Ignoring the roaring thunder and lightning, Guagua tried his best to devour its body. Guagua activated "Guagua Body Lotion" and "Guagua Shower Gel" to output the maximum frequency.

"Cuck!"

The arc of electricity is like a spear, and the lightning is like a sword.

Guagua, who had never been truly harmed by the power of elements of the same level, had his body as white as jade covered in charred black.

It is also bleeding from the corner of its mouth, although it is not bleeding like Lord Yehan, but as a pure favored spirit, how precious is its blood?
If you think about it carefully, this is even the first time Guagua has been injured, which is unprecedented and shocking.

"Tadpole, hold on!"

I don’t know whether it was because the thunder and lightning hit my body was too painful, or because I saw the tadpole in such a miserable state.

Guagua's eyes were full of tears, and the tears fell down like crystal strings of pearls.

"breathe--"

Ye Hanjun still retains a trace of consciousness.

The withered flesh and blood, because of Guagua's treatment and purification, partially resolved the erosion of thunder.

He couldn't speak or open his eyes. All his mind was used to sort out his body, ensure the beating of his heart, and ensure the stability of his soul.

"Shh!"

"Shh! Shh!"

With the continuous bombardment of skills, Guagua became more and more sluggish.

Finally, during the half-hour-long confrontation, the effect of lightning paralysis diminished significantly.

Ye Hanjun regained control of his body, sat up little by little, stretched out his palms, and gently hugged the unconscious little Guagua.

"boom!!!"

A bright golden light split the world and came to the world again.

The nearly charred body suddenly surged out with a large amount of life force.

The thunder pool around him seemed to have encountered a terrifying natural enemy, disappearing into thin air in the blink of an eye.

"grown ups!"

The blocking barrier disappeared, and Hua Zhu knelt on the ground, with infinite worry on her beautiful face.

"Lord of Humanity, have you ever harvested top-notch medicines before and offended the will of heaven and earth? How could such a terrifying disaster befall you?"

The Goose Fairy, who was flapping his wings, was stunned.

It is eager to be promoted, eager to reach the wheel of destiny, and once again be proud of the crowd.

But the situation of the human dependent master is so miserable. After just one breakthrough, ten thunders came to the world, trying to obliterate him and destroy him, and did not allow outside help... How mysterious is this!

"Shh!"

Ye Hanjun opened his eyes, and a golden light lit up in the endless darkness.

In the blink of an eye, the blackness peeled off, and the flesh and blood reorganized. A door to the sky was propped up behind his back, and the bright starlight blocked the sky and the sun, making his figure look like a god, supreme.

Under the feet, an abyss emerged, with blood mist curling inside it. There seemed to be endless demonic shadows, roaring and hissing, trying to get out of it. The cold and cruel killing intent was also overwhelming.
