“Good timing. I’ll stand here and let you strike me with lightning. If you can hurt a hair on my head, I’ll consider it my loss.” Li Xiang didn’t care at all. He wished that more lightning would come so that the Black Tortoise Battle Armor could absorb more energy.

Bolts of heavenly lightning struck Li Xiang’s body and the Black Tortoise Battle Armor. It was as if the heavenly lightning was the most delicious delicacy. In the blink of an eye, it was all swallowed. And then, there was nothing else.

All the heavenly lightning didn’t exert force at all. It was absorbed so easily.

“How is that possible?” Clown was truly surprised this time.

He wouldn’t have been too surprised if Li Xiang used defence magical powers to block the heavenly lightning, but now that the heavenly lightning had been absorbed, it was a terrifying scene.

!!
Clown wasn’t the only one who was shocked by the scene. The countless soldiers on the city walls were also shocked. They definitely wouldn’t be able to block any of those lightning bolts. Even if they could, they would definitely be injured or even die.

However, dozens of such lightning bolts were swallowed by the Black Tortoise phantom on the Black Tortoise Battle Armor without any trouble. Such a scene was too terrifying.

If it could even swallow such an attack, didn’t that mean that the Black Tortoise Battle Armor was extremely rare in the world, or even one-of-a-kind?

All eyes fell on the Black Tortoise Battle Armor, and they were all extremely restless.

The eyes of countless soldiers were filled with fanaticism. Li Xiang was truly an unparalleled king.

“Tsk, it still has to be the Tower of Stars. There’s nothing in the world that it can’t absorb. The heavenly lightning is still energy and contains a powerful force. Swallowing it can strengthen the space inside the tower. Even if Li Xiang didn’t expose the Tower of Stars, just his body protection alone was enough to make him immune to all attacks.”

In the eyes of outsiders, the Black Tortoise Battle Armor was endlessly devouring lightning. It was extremely mysterious, but only Li Xiang knew that the Black Tortoise Battle Armor had a limit to devouring lightning. It could not devour endless lightning.

However, the Tower of Stars was different. Unlimited loot could be deposited and broken down into smaller bits and refined to increase its cultivation.

Li Xiang was also secretly delighted.

The Wyrm on the Black Tortoise Battle Armor naturally didn’t eat all the heavenly lightning. Instead, the moment the lightning was swallowed, most of it was sent into the Tower of Stars. The lightning quickly turned into energy nutrients in the chaotic space and became the tonic of the tower.

Dozens of lightning bolts expanded the tower.

As long as Clown couldn’t destroy the Tower of Stars in an instant, Clown could forget about using magical powers to hurt Li Xiang.

At the moment, Li Xiang felt like a saint in the novels in his previous life.

This was the ultimate power of a natal treasure after being refined.

“I don’t believe it!” Clown couldn’t accept this fact at all. It was beyond his knowledge. Even the heavenly lightning couldn’t kill Li Xiang. That was equivalent to challenging the rules of the game that he had set. It was completely devastating and made one want to flip the table.
“It’s not up to you to believe it or not!” Li Xiang sneered.

Rumble!

An even denser amount of lightning bolts appeared in the air. This time, the lightning bolts directly transformed into divine weapons that slashed toward Li Xiang like divine punishment. The destructive power of the lightning bolts instantly soared to an even more terrifying level.

At this moment, even a top divine fate realm powerhouse would be killed by lightning.

Roar!

However, dozens of such lightning bolts were swallowed by the Black Tortoise phantom on the Black Tortoise Battle Armor without any trouble. Such a scene was too terrifying.

If it could even swallow such an attack, didn’t that mean that the Black Tortoise Battle Armor was extremely rare in the world, or even one-of-a-kind?

All eyes fell on the Black Tortoise Battle Armor, and they were all extremely restless.

The eyes of countless soldiers were filled with fanaticism. Li Xiang was truly an unparalleled king.

As long as Clown couldn’t destroy the Tower of Stars in an instant, Clown could forget about using magical powers to hurt Li Xiang.

When lightning bolts fell, the Black Tortoise opened its mouth again and swallowed them one by one. Although there were lightning bolts on its body, they were not destroyed. Then, he disappeared without a trace.

Bathed in lightning, yet unable to be injured at all, Li Xiang caused the gazes of countless soldiers to become even more fanatical.

All of them were ecstatic.

“A mere clown dares to fight with the King. This is so embarrassing.”

“I knew that King wouldn’t be afraid of a clown. No heavenly lightning could harm His Majesty, not even a strand of hair.”

“That’s great. With the king here, the Dawn Dynasty will definitely become stronger. Our Human race will definitely become a truly powerful race among the Myriad races in the heavens. At that time, no other races will dare to look down on us.”

“Only by following King can we bring hope to the Human race and become even stronger in the future.”

…

“What strong Defense! Li Xiang, do you plan to rely on this turtle shell to be invincible?” Clown’s expression was ugly and he was in a bad mood. He sneered and mocked Li Xiang.

“I’m not satisfied with your game. If you want to play games yet don’t consult me beforehand, I can only end the game arbitrarily. Although the rules of this game are powerful, how long can you last? Who are you to set rules casually without my consent? I’ll not let you have your way,” Li Xiang said disdainfully.

The rules of the game that enveloped the battlefield could not be without a price. The pressure and energy cost Clown had to bear were definitely not small. Moreover, Li Xiang could feel that as more and more heavenly lightning struck over, the power that affected the laws of the world was dissipating. It was already beginning to collapse.

“Good, good, good. Interesting indeed. Since I can’t kill you, I’ll let you know that these small fries have their own uses. Many ants can kill an elephant. Under my rules, everyone on the city wall is a wooden man. Whoever moves will die!”

Clown was furious. It was the first time he had been ignored and even looked down upon by someone.

Agitated, Clown cried out sharply, “Attack! Charge into Setting Sun City!”

Kill! Kill! Kill!

Upon the order, the silent monster army immediately erupted with a dense murderous aura, and a terrifying blood-red color appeared in their eyes.

First, a large number of fierce beasts and birds swept toward Setting Sun City like a tide. They covered the sky and covered the earth. They were densely packed and seemed to be endless at a glance.

When the soldiers on the city wall saw that, they could not help but feel a trace of shock in their hearts.

Normally, they wouldn’t be afraid at all. However, they couldn’t speak or move under the rules of the game. How could they resist the attack of countless monster armies? Once the monster army charged forward, wouldn’t they all die without being able to retaliate? None of the soldiers were willing to accept such a death.

Even if they were to die on the battlefield, it would not be in such an aggrieved manner. They would rather be struck to death by lightning.

“You think you can take down Setting Sun City and threaten me like that? Clown, if you think that way, you’re gravely mistaken. You know how to play games, but I know how to put a stop to them.” Li Xiang was not surprised at all. He raised his voice and said, “All soldiers, listen up. There is no need to follow the rules of the game. It is just a game. If you follow the rules, it is a game. If you don’t follow the rules, the game is off!”
