The Hourglass 65 Breakthrough 1

Bless our world now, we don't need to gather funds or get any failure from the research, wait maybe the G.o.d did research it and the Ailuros clan is the failure and the one that Jessica had is the successful one.

While Michael nonchalantly joked inside of his mind, Mario looks worried as he isn't very powerful nor he has experience or even knowledge of this event just like Jessica but she is calmer and she even meowed from her own touched in the tail and ear with a noticeable blush on her face, while Aria didn't give a d.a.m.n she just looked around curiously with some jokes or nasty comment inside her head.

Just as he was thinking this the cloud suddenly gathered above Michael and he froze in the place, the cloud above his head darken noticeably while some arc of lighting is visible flas.h.i.+ng in and out from the cloud.

Michael froze there because his qi is transforming slowly and because he notice it so he inspected it carefully to make sure if it's real or just some illusion as he had heard from Aria that the cultivator from this era can't cultivate past Qi Gathering Realm, confirming it's real and is growing Michael whipped his head toward the lighting cloud with excitement in his eyes.

Could this be the rumoured Lightning Tribulation from the xianxia novels I read, Michael thought while moving his hands, with a wave of his left hand a layer of bluish burning flames come froth from nowhere and made a s.h.i.+eld above them covering the entire street. With a wave of his right hand a tornado is summoned directly bellow the fire s.h.i.+eld to even flame the s.h.i.+eld more but gradually the tornado transformed into another s.h.i.+eld that looks like a wind whirlpool.

As the two hands met the surrounding water vapor is pulled making a layer of water that's gradually freeze. Then the two hands are thrusted forward making the surrounding building that he just repaired collapsed into smaller rubble before combining into a layer of rocks that made the last s.h.i.+eld layer.

"Get away from me!" Michael shouted but before they managed to react all of them is pushed away.

Michael then set a concentrated gravity field that pushed away things from with, like a planet but the opposite since a planet attract and his pushes, just like s.h.i.+baku tensei. It seem he isn't satisfied as Michael transformed into his eagle form and have his wing covered his upper body but then he have another bolter idea but before that he warned them first.

"Aria, Mario, Jessica run as far as you can! Hurry up!" Michael said.

Of course he didn't really do all of this to really s.h.i.+elded himself against the Tribulation Lightning but to compare himself against the power of nature, moreover he have 779 more lives that he can waste.

As the preparation ended Michael almost used all the Qi in one of his nodes but sooner or latter it will be drained since these powers require Qi to maintain.

The Clouds above him continue to darken while the lightning flashed out and In more frequently compared to the earlier, just then Michael suddenly shouted as he saw that Aria and Mario already ran far while carrying the confused Jessica, some other's ran away too but they are slow compared to Aria and Mario.

"HAAAA!!!!"

Just like the Saiyan in Dragon Ba*l when they transformed into their Super Saiyan Form but in Michael's case he transformed into a giant monster, with bulging muscles and veins that even shows up underneath those golden feathers while the wings and claws on his body enlarged too with that his face that looked like an eagled turned into semi-human making it look more scary and ferocious.

"HAHAHAHA…" with his booming voice Michael laughed because he succeed transforming into The White Hulk without losing his mind and even combining it with the Golden Eagle Transformation, he didn't lose his mind because one of his parallel mind that used to cultivate for him became crazy in his stead.

As he was laughing suddenly a bolt of lightning the size of human finger struck down, fortunately it only penetrated the Fire Layer and the wind Layer dispersed it, it didn't even get affected by the leftover energy since most of it is s.h.i.+elded by the Fire Layer.

Then Michael laugher stopped as he used the last silver of qi inside the Qi nodes on his neck to regenerate the hole on Fire Layer.

After 30 seconds pa.s.sed suddenly another bolt of Lightning struck down but this one is the size of human forearm, it penetrated the burning blue fire layer before penetrating the wind layer but just as it penetrated the wind layer, it's energy was exhausted just before it touched the water layer.

Seeing that the Tribulation Lightning in the fact that weak Michael didn't even bother regenerating the hole on fire and wind layer as it would slowly recover from the surrounding Qi but it would be too slow since it need at least 30 minutes to recover naturally.

Then 30 seconds have pa.s.sed and then the third lightning bolt with the thickness of human thigh struck again penetrating the still thin and recovering wind and fire layer before wasting a second in water layer as the water dispersed most of the energy in the lighting, making it vanish just as it penetrated the water layer.

Michael even arrogantly thought he did too much preparation for this weak attack and is even considering pulling back his transformation but in the end, he didn't do it just in case and he repaired the hole in the first three layer.

It repeated until 9th times the lightning bolt struck again that something changes, previously on the 8th strikes it was the size of five utility pole tied together and it even got near Michael but it was ultimately diverted by the gravity wave and struck the ground, however when it was about to be diverted the lightning acted like Michael is a super strong magnet and it was a piece of iron that is attracted by the magnet .

Just before the 9th lightning bolt struck the lighting flas.h.i.+ng in the cloud changed from the usual purple into dark blue.
