Samsara Online Chapter 259 Devouring

"The power of the Demon Storm agent.... Completely disappeared. Our computers can't find any burst of power circulating around him.... It's as if he were a normal person!"

The scientist's words provoked a chain reaction of gasps of surprise followed immediately by worried faces and other happy faces.

BOOM!

BOOOM!

The sound of explosions coming from inside the room was the only thing that entered the ears of those present as their faces lit up at the strong blue light from the screen reflecting the lightning world.

"W-what does that mean?" Xie Yao couldn't help but ask with worry. If Xie Feng's life was in danger, then she had no more desire to live in this world!

"Hahahaha!" Yao Ruolan laughed as if her life depended on it and said cheerfully, "That means your dear big brother's life is about to end!"

Xie Yao's face turned as pale like Gu Qianxue's. Actually, if it wasn't for both of them being swiftly supported by Fang Yanran they would have fallen down due to how weak they felt at the moment.

Gu Pojun frowned and tried to act as normal as possible while asking, "What about the Vital Signs?"

"Yes!" The scientist quickly got to work and in less than two seconds he got results, "Vital signs.... Completely normal! Except for a faster heart rate, there are no abnormal changes inside the body of agent Demon Storm!"

Like a roller coaster, the white-robed man's words again caused a seesaw in the emotions of the people present.

Yao Ruolan's laughter spontaneously stopped while Nangong Lei's face turned completely black as the bottom of a pot.

The pallor on the faces of Xie Yao and Gu Qianxue began to recede at a speed visible to the naked eye, regaining its natural color as a look of relief illuminated both beauties.

The rest of the people did their best to maintain a neutral expression so it was difficult to know what each of them was thinking in their hearts.

"You mean-"

"My G.o.d, what is this!"

Mu Xue was about to say something but an exclamation from the scientist silenced her and everyone looked at him in astonishment. To react that way, something important must have happened; after all, the scientists working here were people who had signed absolute confidentiality agreements in which in case it was broken, even their families would be involved so they had seen practically everything that a normal person could never see in all their lives.

"What's going on?" Yao Xiyu said in a low but deep voice.

"This... This..." The scientist stammered as he looked at the tablet in his hands shaking like jelly. "The lightning world... The lightning world is disappearing! No! It's being devoured by something!"

* * *

BOOOM!

BOOOOM!

The powerful explosions continued to shake the earth. The power released by Nangong Wentian was such that even being several kilometers underground and being insulated by the hardest metal encountered to date, the earth on the surface was constantly shaking as a result of the powerful explosions.

The blue lightning flashed and struck Xie Feng's barrier again and again, constantly shaking it as they relentlessly tried to break through. Xie Feng was resisting without any problems but after five seconds had pa.s.sed, he suddenly came up with a somewhat wild idea.

His Calamity Emperor Art was really strange. Even now Xie Feng did not know where it came from or why it was deeply engraved in his memory and soul; but what he did know was that if he could master it, then he would become an unbeatable existence. He didn't know how, but his instinct was screaming out to him that it was so.

Unfortunately for Xie Feng, except for the wind, so far he had not mastered any other element. In the past, Xie Feng had even gone to the depths of the ocean to try to understand the water element or absorb it in large quant.i.ties without success.

But now... Wasn't there literally a world of lightning just in front of him?

The multicolored chaotic energy cloud inside his body was silent as always, except that the purple color seemed to be anxious for something.

Xie Feng hesitated, but this hesitation disappeared less than a second later when he removed the barrier surrounding his body.

BOOOM!!!

BOOOM!!!

Lightning began to lash every part of his body, from head to toe he was bathed in blue and his upper clothing was completely destroyed; if it wasn't for Xie Feng quickly protecting his lower clothing, he would be in his natural birthday suit right now.

"It really hurts like h.e.l.l." Xie Feng muttered through clenched teeth. Even for him it was impossible not to feel any pain. In fact, the pain he was feeling was so great that his mind went blank several times almost collapsing in the process.

But Xie Feng resisted and began to try to circulate the energy within his body in an attempt to see what would happen.

On the other hand, Nangong Wentian, who was still releasing lightning at a speed and power even greater than the largest power plant in Beijing, was dumbfounded when he saw what was happening in front of him. Because unlike Xie Feng and the rest, Nangong Wentian could easily see everything happening within his Lightning World skill.

"How could this be possible..." He muttered while his eyes grew as wide as possible. "He's resisting my lightning with his body alone?"

Several centuries ago, the five founding patriarchs fought in an attempt to outdo each other to see who dominated over the other. Unfortunately or fortunately the strength of the five was too similar, which was why they formed what was known today as the Five Great Families. These five great families were, naturally, Gu, Nangong, Yao, Mu, and Yang.

Even after several centuries had pa.s.sed, each generation of patriarchs fought against the others. This served to ensure that each of them was still worthy to continue to be a main leader as well as one of the protectors of the country. As a result, Nangong Wentian had fought against four monsters several times throughout his life.

However, even Yang Jie, who possessed the most terrifying defense Nangong Wentian had ever seen, could not resist his Lightning World with his naked body without using his control over the earth.

But this young man who was even younger than his son was now bathing with his lightning without exploding into a mist of blood? Nangong Wentian's hairs stand on end like a cat in danger when he finally realized that his life might actually be in risk!

"DIE!!!"

Without delay, Nangong Wentian turned into a bright blue lightning bolt as he charged towards Xie Feng at a speed faster than the speed of sound while shouting in an attempt to shake off his fears.

Boom!

Arriving in front of Xie Feng, Nangong Wentian began to unleash a series of furious punches at a speed so fast that his fists had become practically invisible.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

...

Almost ten seconds pa.s.sed and Nangong Wentian had unleashed a burst of over a thousand punches.

Xie Feng frowned and resisted each and every one of these punches without moving. Naturally, it was impossible for him to resist explosions that if grouped together could be compared to an atomic bomb along with thousands of hits with the power to demolish mountains.... A line of blood trickled down his lips, but Xie Feng did not move.

Seeing Xie Feng injured, Nangong Wentian not only did not feel happy, on the contrary.... The urgency in his heart grew greater and greater as he began to feel his final life time approaching.

"DIE!"

"DIE!

"DIEEE!!"

Nangong Wentian roared like a beast that had been wounded and vented his anger furiously on the culprit.

BOOM!

BOOOM!

The explosions became more and more powerful and his punches became faster and faster. Nangong Wentian began to sweat when he suddenly stopped dead in his tracks.

"I guess letting you live for a few more seconds as thanks isn't so bad."

In the lightning world where everything had been dyed blue, a cold and indifferent voice could be heard clearly even amidst so many continuous explosions. Looking up a few inches, Nangong Wentian's pupils contracted to the size of a needle when they met a pair of golden eyes that shone as bright as the moon on a starless night.

BOOOM!!!

Xie Feng ignored the fact that his enemy was in a daze and without further ado, he tightened his fist and smashed forward....

Puff!!!

Nangong Wentian flew out like a meteorite while spitting out a big mouthful of blood.

BANG!

Nangong Wentian flew backward uncontrollably until his body finally hit the wall near the entrance door to the adamantine room. The walls shook so much that some of the people outside were even scared.

Cough!

As he fell to the floor, Nangong Wentian coughed up even more blood with some small fragments of what seemed to be damaged organs.... Still, staggering, he did his best to stand up and look to the front.... There, Nangong Wentian saw the biggest nightmare of his life.

SWOOSH!

SWOOSH!

SWOOSH!

...

"...W-What...?" Was all Nangong Wentian could utter as he watched his lightning, the lightning world he had unleashed with all his power, receding at astonishing speeds.

As if being sucked up by something, all the lightning moved in the same direction, and in less than twenty seconds the room had returned to normal.

Now, the people outside could see clearly what was happening inside as well.
