Fifteen minutes ago.
After Ivan and Blake successfully met, they moved a bit further away from the woods but still within sight.
Ivan sat obediently, with his hands neatly placed on his knees.
He carefully recounted what happened to him and Lilly when they went to Nether Door and encountered the black-robed man.
Blake, Jean, and Crawford Ancestor stared at Ivan with their arms crossed.
Blake thought, Oh, the adventures Lilly and that brat went through. This feels like my house got robbed.
Jean thought, Wow, Lilly accompanied her seven uncles on an adventure, came to Everest, encountered the black-robed man, got tricked, escaped to Mount Everest, and coincidentally met the Earth Goddess.
Meanwhile, Ivan followed her to Mount Everest, where he was discovered by the black-robed man and teleported to Lilly's side using a teleportation symbol. Coincidentally, the Earth Goddess was restrained by the Nether Chain, and Ivan happened to be Emperor Greenbow, the only person who could open the Nether Door.
For the sake of the Earth Goddess, the two followed the Nether Chain to the Nether Door and encountered the black-robed man, which led to the two children's first cooperation and fierce battle.
This is definitely a plot the author deliberately arranged! Forcing the main characters into a romantic plot, how awful! Fortunately, my baby is fine, and she even gained enlightenment from this life-and-death battle. She will definitely level up this time.
Since that's the case, I'll reluctantly change my bad review to a positive review! Jean took out her phone, opened YouTube, searched for Cute Warrior's profile, and gave her a twelve-star rating.
While Jean was propping up her chin and tapping on her phone, Crawford Ancestor looked at her suspiciously. "Does the underworld have internet access?" Jean replied, "No!" Crawford Ancestor asked, "Then what are you doing?" Jean answered, "I'm forcefully advertising something." Blake was left speechless.
Just then, a loud thunderbolt struck from the sky with a loud rumble.
Jean's paper phone instantly burned into ashes, and she exclaimed in shock, "Oh my god, is it a crime to forcefully advertise something?" Blake quickly picked her up and leaped backward in a hurry.
It was not just a thunderbolt but the Test of Thunder.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCrawford Ancestors pupils contracted, and Ivan quickly grabbed the small ghost beast before leaping away, far from the center of the Test of Thunder.
Jean felt her hands and feet run cold and murmured, "Can... we get through this time?" Blake held her hand and whispered, "We will definitely make it." Crawford Ancestor looked in shock at the scene before him.
Mount Everest was shrouded in darkness, and the sky was filled with rolling dark clouds, forming a huge vortex matrix.
It looked like a doomsday scene.
After the thunder just now, two more thunderbolts followed almost immediately.
Was this the Test of Thunder?! Lilly last encountered the Test of Thunder when she was in the underworld. At that time, she attracted the Test of Thunder because she deduced a new Order.
So, this time...
The fur of the small ghost beast was all standing on end due to the electricity. It tightly gripped Ivan's clothes with its small paws, leaving a few paw marks on his clothes because of the juice from the spirit food it just finished.
But no one noticed that detail.
Several pairs of eyes were fixed on Lilly. The third bolt of the Test of Thunder destroyed the ancient formations that Ivan had set up for her.
Then, Lilly's figure appeared.
She didn't expect the Test of Thunder to arrive so suddenly.
What's more, she didn't even have time to prepare. Just when she had just understood the fundamental rules of the world, the Test of Thunder arrived.
Her enlightenment was abruptly interrupted. If it weren't for the ancient formations beside her that blocked the first three bolts, the sudden three bolts would have struck her.
This was unfair. It was an ambush! Lilly was furious. The unexpected Test of Thunder during her enlightenment seemed to want to kill her.
How could that be? Wasn't the purpose of the Manifestation of God's will to nurture and protect the entire world? Did it not allow beings that violate its rules or break its understanding? Creating competition, brutal killings, Human purgatory...
Although she didn't know what had happened, Lilly vaguely felt something was wrong with the Manifestation of God's will.
Things shouldn't be like this. There must be something wrong.
Lilly's thoughts flashed by, but she didn’t have much time to think.
The previous thunder was just the beginning.
This time, the thunderbolts came down in numbers of three.
Three thunderbolts were considered the first wave, with a few seconds of rest between the first and second waves.
Lilly had just caught her breath when the second wave of thunder arrived.
This time, there were six bolts.
With the experience from her first tribulation, Lilly knew that the Test of Thunder would become more intense as it progressed, so she had to find a way to conserve her strength in the early stages of this test.
Just now, the three ancient matrices Ivan set up had blocked three bolts.
There were six this time, and although Lilly knew she had to use something to block them, where could she find six spirit tools or something better than divine tools all at once? Lilly instantly regretted not considering that the two Tests of Thunder would be so close. It seemed like she had been too idle recently and hadn't searched for any counter-intuitive tools. She thought she didn't need them, but only now did she realize that the more of those things she had, the better.
In that instant, the only word in her mind was a lightning rod.
With a flick of her wrist, silver needles appeared in her hand.
These were given to her by the King of Transformation and had proven their worth in battle against the black-robed man.
However, Lilly had no idea just how powerful they were.
From her perspective, the silver needles seemed ordinary and unremarkable, with no discernible level of strength. As she unleashed them, Lilly immediately regretted her decision and thought to herself, What good is a small silver needle against the powerful Test of Thunder? It will surely be reduced to dust.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBut to her surprise, the thunderous roar of thunderbolts all struck the silver needles.
The silver needles actually blocked the second wave of the Test of Thunder for her.
As the possessor of the silver needles, Lilly naturally would have been affected by that, but this was much better than being struck directly.
Coughing, Lilly exhaled smoke from her mouth, her body charred from the lightning strike.
The silver needles returned to her hand, now even sharper than before, their tips gleaming with an icy light.
Lilly was astonished. Were these truly lightning rods? Without much time to ponder, the third wave of thunderbolts was already approaching.
Once again, Lilly summoned the silver needles. However, these thunderbolts seemed to possess a consciousness and knew the silver needles could protect her, so they pursued her, intent on striking her.
Lilly skillfully evaded the thunderbolts, which were as formidable an opponent as the black-robed man, if not more so.
But having experienced a life-and-death battle with the black-robed man, Lilly now knew to be calm. Without that battle, she might have been flustered in this moment.
However, having faced life and death, she now regarded the Test of Thunder as another cunning adversary and felt that there might be a way to overcome it.
The silver needles were no longer in a fixed state either. She dodged a bolt of lightning and immediately retracted the silver needles. As she witnessed the thunderbolts strike again, she actively summoned the silver needles to counter them.
"Three." "Four." "Five!" There were nine bolts in the second wave of the Test of Thunder, and Lilly persisted until the fifth bolt but could go no further.
With a crack, the silver needles snapped in half.
Lilly's heart tightened, realizing that the silver needles could no longer shield her from the lightning. If she forcefully threw them out, she might be able to endure one bolt, but it would be futile.
It was wiser to keep the silver needles, as it meant she still had a glimmer of hope.
Lilly promptly stowed away the silver needles just as the sixth thunderbolt struck her forehead, which she took head-on.
Boom! Crack! When the sixth thunderbolt struck Lilly, the remaining three bolts followed closely behind, almost simultaneously striking her.
Spat! In mid-air, she spat out a mouthful of blood, her petite body plummeting downward.
