I Stepped on a Bug, and the System Says I Slayed a Dragon? Chapter 299 - 298: Celestial Thunder From Above! Overwhelmin

RUMBLE!

Arcs of lightning lit up the clear sky for thousands of miles!

Blinding electrical light tore through the heavens as an impartial and rciless punishnt descended upon the world.

With ng Tianxuan at its epicenter, a colossal pillar of lightning was drawn from the sky. It slamd violently into the ground of the Da Li Mountain Range. Swaths of trees were smashed to bits and vaporized in a heatwave that rivaled the molten sun.

The crackling electricity swept over the Venerables of the Venerable Alliance and the Beast God Sect. They desperately released their Star Force to resist the devastating aftershocks of the explosion.

But it was far from enough.

So of the Venerables who specialized in Techniques had physically weak bodies to begin with. Now, with Celestial Thunder pouring into their ridians and running rampant, they had no way to guide it out.

The next mont, vicious arcs of lightning boiled their blood dry. Smoke spewed from their mouths and noses as their skin erupted in furious flas!

They were instantly turned to ash!

In an instant, the Venerables were like moths to a fla, reduced to piles of dust.

A few seconds later, the Celestial Thunder, which had co and gone in a flash, finally quieted its deafening roar...

In the distance, rocks and boulders rumbled as they rolled downhill.

"Cough, cough..."

The Nine Celestial Venerables waved away the dust cloud before him, coughing lightly into his cupped fist. His hair was scorched black, most of his robes were burned to shreds, and stray arcs of lightning still danced at the tips of his hair.

His eyes were filled with terror. As he surveyed his surroundings, his pupils shrank abruptly, as if he had descended into Avici Hell. Everywhere he looked, charred corpses were scattered across the ground. The Venerables they had gathered had suffered catastrophic losses.

Even those who weren’t dead were missing arms and legs, utterly crippled and maid!

And the Beast God Sect was even worse off!

Under the bombardnt of the Celestial Thunder explosion, most of their Venerables had been vaporized on the spot, without even having ti to scream.

Ash drifted across the ground, where a few human-shaped voids marked the earth. They were a testant to those who had once stood there, only to be vaporized and vanish from the mountain range in the blink of an eye.

Terrifying!

"How... When?!"

ng Tianxuan stood frozen in place, sinking into a deep state of terror. The horror in his heart churned like a raging sea, and he was so shocked he could barely speak a coherent sentence.

’This power!’

’When did the Heaven-Blasting Gang’s self-destruction get so damn strong?!’

’It’s only been a few days! Weren’t they only able to detonate their Star Force before?’

’Dammit, as if self-destructing wasn’t enough for these lunatics... they’ve actually mastered Celestial Thunder?!’

’How is anyone supposed to compete with this?’

After taking the full force of the Celestial Thunder Array, ng Tianxuan reckoned he had been able to withstand it thanks to his Celestial Venerable Realm strength. But after forcing his way through it, his condition had deteriorated by more than half. He could still feel the residual power of the lightning rumbling and surging through his body.

But it was a different story for his fellow Venerables from the Alliance!

’I could take it, but they couldn’t!’

’The dead are dead, the injured are injured... and they were all my trusted subordinates, my own faction!’

In that Celestial Thunder attack, the other side had lost only a single Earth Venerable, yet the Venerable Alliance was now a field of death and injury, filled with wails of agony.

A one-for-many trade.

A disastrous loss!

"Senior Brother..."

The Nine Celestial Venerables, still spewing black smoke from his mouth and nose, trembled from head to toe. A chill ran through him as he looked at the dead and injured Venerables he had brought, then glanced down at his own wretched state.

’I’m completely numb...’

Among the Heaven and Earth Laws, Thunder Skills were inherently geared toward slaughter. The Celestial Dao was impartial, and Celestial Thunder was the chief of the Five Thunders. It slays Celestial Demons and sweeps away plagues. Against Venerables like them who specialized in cultivating Yin Spirits, it was incredibly effective—a specialized counter-attack!

Now that this Celestial Thunder had fallen, the Divine Souls of the Beast God Sect’s Venerables had been utterly annihilated. They had no hope of being resurrected in the future!

"We really can’t beat them. Let’s just run, Senior Brother."

The Nine Celestial Venerables puffed out more smoke as he shakily gripped ng Tianxuan’s tattered robes. "You promised before you ca," he said regretfully. "You said that no matter how powerful the Heaven-Blasting Gang’s self-destruction was, based on the Celestial Derivation calculations, they would never be able to break out of the encirclent... So why is this completely different from what you said?!"

"An accident... It was all an accident."

ng Tianxuan broke out in a cold sweat. "There are always a few... minor details that exceed one’s predictions."

"???"

Hearing this, the Nine Celestial Venerables stared at the horrific scene around them. The Venerables he had brought from the Beast God Sect were almost completely wiped out, their bodies dismbered. He felt as if his heart was bleeding, and he finally snapped.

"ng! You son of a bitch! You call this ’a few minor details’!?"

...

"Not bad."

High in the sky, Qin Yang looked down, surveying the magnificent scene below.

He nodded with considerable satisfaction. He kept a straight face, but inside, he was feeling extrely pleased!

’This is freaking aweso!’

This was the first trial of the Celestial Thunder Array. He hadn’t been certain of its power, though he’d expected it to be stronger than simple self-destruction. But to achieve such an impressive result was truly beyond his expectations.

’Blast them to kingdom co, shake the heavens and earth.’

’The Beast God Sect, the Venerable Alliance... before this rampant thunder, they’re nothing.’

’As insignificant as mayflies!’

"Tsk, tsk. I never expected... the Celestial Thunder Array to be this effective!"

Qin Yang mulled it over. The Five Thunders were a profound category in and of themselves.

His advanced Blood Clones had only unleashed the Celestial Thunder that governs the four seasons, yet the power it brought down was already this imnse. He still hadn’t used the Earth Thunder that shakes mountains and dispels miasma... nor had he added the Divine Thunder, which was primarily for slaughter...

’There’s so much room for improvent with this Celestial Thunder Array!’

’When the ti cos to gather all Five Thunders...’

’Kill, kill, kill!’

’When the Venerables of the Beast God Sect run into my Thunder Skills, won’t it be like ghosts eting the sun? They’re fundantally countered, lting away from the world in an instant.’

’I’m afraid when it’s their ti to be reincarnated, after they cross the Naihe Bridge and drink ng Po Soup, they still won’t be able to forget this terrifying scene in their next lives!’

Just as he was lost in thought, Liu Wushuang’s voice called out. He was standing outside the barrier, watching eagerly and still begging pitifully.

"Let in too..."

"Hmm?"

Qin Yang frowned slightly, putting his thoughts aside. He glanced over at Liu Wushuang and saw the man’s face was filled with sorrow. He seed to still be deeply moved by what had just happened. Qin Yang tried to console him.

"This doesn’t concern you. Follow my orders and keep waiting outside."

"But, Young Master... I want to contribute to the Heaven-Blasting Gang too..."

Liu Wushuang turned to look at the empty space on the ground. The sight of the self-destructions filled him with guilt, but at the sa ti, he felt an itch of excitent.

’That scene just now was just too staggering!’

’A vast sea of lightning leaped forth, striking down the Cult Demons.’

’The lives of the Heaven-Blasting Gang’s Venerables blossod in their self-destruction.’

At this mont, Liu Wushuang was deeply moved. He felt he was beginning to understand the doctrine of the Heaven-Blasting Gang. No wonder they weren’t afraid of death and used self-destruction as their thod.

’To secure a destiny for the common people, to bring about an era of eternal peace.’

’...Even if it ans sacrificing everything.’

"So this is the true doctrine of the Heaven-Blasting Gang!"

As this thought crossed his mind, Liu Wushuang grew excited and invigorated. He felt a fire burning in his chest, as if a fuse had been lit, igniting his passion!

He looked up at Qin Yang, who was inside the barrier, and shouted at the top of his lungs,

"Young Master, I too wish to make a sacrifice for the Heaven-Blasting Gang!"

His voice shook the heavens and the earth.

"???"

Hearing those words, Qin Yang watched Liu Wushuang’s expression of heroic readiness. The corner of his mouth twitched, and he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

’Oh, crap.’

’Another one’s gone crazy.’

’I have a feeling soone’s been completely duped. Looking at Liu Wushuang now, he actually believes all the nonsense I just made up!’

’You’re going to self-destruct?’

’My guys’ self-destructions are just for show. It’s no big deal. But if Liu Wushuang self-destructs, he’ll really be gone!’

’Is this a joke?!’
