Bexia continued to ponder and experiment, constantly exploring. In doing so, he seemed to have grasped a hint, a glimpse of the loophole hidden within the infinite rules of the universe, a hint of breaking free from the constraints of rules.
"Boom boom boom—!"
"Boom boom boom—!"
Having seized this breach in the rules, even as the will of the universe did not permit such a situation, countless dimensional fissures loomed above his head, emitting strands of silvery thunder continuously flowing out from within the cracks. Though just a strand, it still gave a terrifying sensation, as if facing towering waves.
This was the wrath of the universe's will, the punishment for the unruly ones. Currently, Bexia had only glimpsed the loophole in the rules and had not truly stepped onto the path outside the rules. Thus, this calamity was still brewing. If Bexia failed to comprehend, the one facing the calamity would disappear along with it.
However, once he broke through this strand of the universe's rules, the next moment, calamity would descend upon him. The will of the universe did not allow the existence of those who defied rules, hence it would bring down calamity.
Yet, all existence embodies a reason. The presence of loopholes itself serves as a path of cultivation. Despite disrupting the established rules, it cannot be erased. Thus, the will of the universe cannot completely obliterate it either. Surviving the calamity is not impossible; once passed, recognition will naturally follow. Utilizing this power transparently and uprightly is akin to the heavenly king's way of using power!
This is different from the breakthrough in cultivation, which is inherently reasonable. The universe's calamity is just a relatively difficult test. Bexia's breakthrough now is breaking the original rules of the universe, hence the impending ordeal is not merely a test, but a genuine calamity.
The first challenge is to break the balance of power, facing the most difficult silver thunder calamity among the immortal gods. If successfully overcome, all will be well. But failing to do so would leave no chance of survival, thus this silver thunder calamity is also known as the extinction thunder penalty!
Bexia continued to advance. His steps became more steady. Since comprehending the power of balance, the depth beneath his feet grew shallower. Eventually, he walked as if on level ground, concealing the fact that he was carrying a mountain of over tens of millions of quintals on his back!
Never underestimate the mountain of hell. It is vastly different from ordinary mountains, having endured the erosion of the underworld, its weight far exceeding what most immortal gods can bear. Crushing an immortal god with a mountain is not a difficult task at all!
Bexia continued to approach the Heavenly King Mountain while carrying the mountain on his back. At the same time, the extinction thunder penalty brewing in the sky grew brighter, indicating that Bexia's comprehension was delving deeper into the universe's taboos.
Breaking the established rules is considered a taboo!
"Oh! Talent can really make a difference, compared to that little guy!" Lying down, Heavenly King Hu Yi drank from the bowl of wine, lazily murmuring to himself.
"Yeah! Here it comes!" Hu Yi looked up and glanced at the countless cracks in the sky, from where countless silver thunderbolts gushed out, not as rapid and ephemeral as usual thunder, but rather like sticky liquid. Transforming into a rain of thunder penalties, each drop exuded immense power difficult for even immortal gods to imagine.
This directly tapped into the source power in the depths of the universe's dimensions, a level of horror that even Liu Yan Xu, far away at the Heavenly King Mountain, felt a shudder!
"This... seems a bit off, isn't it?!" Looking up at the continuous rain of thunder penalties, Liu Yan Xu expressed some concern.
"Isn't Hu Yi over there? Isn't this amount of stuff not enough for her to drink a couple of sips?" Heavenly King Hu Bing glanced indifferently in the distance, holding the wine glass. She seemed very gentle and beautiful, exuding a kind of serene beauty.
Of course, those who knew her understood what kind of person she was. Among the ghost clan, there was not a single one with good temperaments. Hu Bing would describe herself as a refined member of the ghost clan!
"It's precisely because Hu Yi is there that I'm worried!" Liu Yan Xu said.
What is extinction? Naturally, it means annihilation and disappearance. Anyone who defies the will of the vast universe must endure the punishment from the universe itself!
Bexia had already comprehended the taboo power of breaking the balance, and the punishment of the universe's will was arriving. The silver extinction thunder penalty fell like a drizzle, but within the seemingly gentle raindrops lay an extremely terrifying power!
"I haven't had good wine like this thunder penalty wine!"
"Haha~!" Hu Yi turned over, lazily extended her hand, and when the first drop of extinction thunder penalty drizzle fell on her fingertip, a bizarre scene unfolded. The entire sky's rain of thunder penalties came to a halt.
No! To be precise, Hu Yi single-handedly suspended the entire rain of thunder penalties, with no energy fluctuations or soul forces, solely relying on pure strength to hold up the entire rain of thunder penalties.
It was a frightening sight, akin to an ordinary person holding countless explosives. This rainstorm was much more terrifying than explosives; a slight misstep could trigger a dreadful chain reaction!
It was already challenging enough for Bexia to bear a mountain, but how could he lift this sky filled with thunder penalties? How did he unleash such power? This was a higher domain that Bexia fundamentally did not understand!
"Come in all of you!" Hu Yi raised the wine bowl slightly, and then with a wave of her finger, the sky's rain of thunder penalties was directed into the wine bowl and then drank down!
