CHAPTER 4376
James endured ten thousand strikes of Chaos Lightnings, and not an inch of his body was intact. His flesh was split apart and scorched. Even his bones were broken from the punishment.
His soul had been integrated into his physical body. With his body sustaining so many injuries, his soul was also damaged.
James was slowly losing consciousness and was on the brink of death.
Countless powerhouses of different races were gathered around the area.
Everyone watched him silently. Even though none spoke, they were shocked that a human could withstand the Chaos Lightning punishment for so long.
Chaos Lightnings were considered one of the strongest punishments in the Greater Realms. Only a handful of people could endure just one strike of Chaos Lightning.
Thus, they found it unbelievable that James resisted tens of thousands of strikes.
“I can’t die now.”
James was about to pass out. He felt like his soul was about to disappear any time soon.
A strong survival instinct immediately rose in his heart.
There was still a lot he needed to do. He had to complete the Path of Heavenly Awakening’s nine trials and lead the Human Race to glory. Thea, his daughters, and his son were still waiting for him.
Moreover, he had not met his unborn son yet.
James was driven by his desire to live and gradually regained his consciousness.
His blurred vision became clear, and countless powerhouses entered his sight. : owner of this content.
The Doom Race’s Patriarch, Hirah, and the Great Elder, Youri, were familiar faces to him.
James roared, “I’ll use the Chaos Lightning to strengthen myself and create a formidable physical body!”
He mustered up all his strength and began to absorb the Chaos Lightning’s power, which lingered in his body.
“ARGH!!!”
Chaos Lightning was a terrifying punishment. Under normal circumstances, it was impossible to absorb and refine its power. However, James had experience in refining lightning tribulations.
The Chaos Lightning’s power permeated his bones, reaching pain to spread throughout his body.
James growled in pain.
Boom!!!
The Chaos Lightnings did not stop from striking him.
James knew he must absorb and refine them. Otherwise, he would not make it through the remainder of the punishment.
“What the hell is with this kid?”
The powerhouses in the distance were dumbfounded by James’ actions.
“His physical body is almost invincible.”
“Even tens of thousands of Chaos Lightning strikes couldn’t obliterate his physical body. That’s terrifying.”
“He’s trying to absorb the Chaos Lightning’s powers to enhance his physical strength. He will be a huge threat if he reaches a higher stage in the Omniscience Path.”
The powerhouses’ expressions changed.
Meanwhile, James entered the Omniscience Path and urged all his strength. His weak aura immediately skyrocketed and his whole body radiated with a blinding white glow.
The Chaos Lightning stimulated his body and blood. A potent force appeared in his body, and vigorous Spiritual Power emerged from his blood.
James focused on absorbing the Chaos Lightning’s power, risking everything.
His Spiritual Power kept growing stronger. However, the Chaos Lightning also grew stronger with each strike.
At the beginning of the punishment, he would be struck one by one. Now, he was being struck by tens or hundreds of flashes of lightning simultaneously. The force of each lightning was multiplied, and Jame struggled to withstand them even though he had entered the Omniscience Path.
He felt his mind going foggy, and he passed out.
After James’ fainted, the powerhouses could sense that James’ soul had completely vanished. Only his lifeless and injured body was left hanging on the pillar.
Although James seemed to have died, the Chaos Lightning punishment was not over.
