Urban Invincible Overlord-Chapter 1232 - 1229: Sword Intent

Outside the spirit ship, Yang Fei and the others gazed at the massive area of thunderclouds above them. Even though it was the second time they had seen it, each of them was still internally shaken.

The power of nature is truly frightening.

Although everyone here was at the Foundation Establishment Stage, they each felt a tense mental strain and a tingling scalp in the face of such a terrifying storm.

Even the strongest among them, Yang Fei, dared not claim he could withstand the thunder power if it descended.

The intensity of this thundercloud far exceeded the wide and terrifying clouds he and Qin Yanyang had triggered during their own Foundation Establishment.

Zhuo Donglai exclaimed, "Such a spectacle, perhaps even more terrifying than the celestial phenomena during Nascent Soul Tribulation Crossing."

The torrential rain kept pouring, but it was blocked by the protective shield around the spirit ship.

Lightning would occasionally strike the ship’s defense array, but without causing significant damage.

In about another half an hour of flight, they would be through this thunderstorm zone.

Having been here once before, nobody was too concerned because of their prior experience.

But suddenly, everyone felt a jolt in their hearts, as tingling sensations ran through their scalps.

In the darkness, above their heads, an extremely terrifying energy seemed to be gathering, like a prehistoric beast hovering above, staring down at their spirit ship.

"What’s happening?" Umekawa Taro exclaimed, shocked.

He and Li Xuanyu were encountering this thundercloud for the first time and were much more nervous than the others. However, everyone reassured them that there would be no problem, only for the unexpected change to occur before the words even left their lips.

Yang Fei said gravely, "Everyone, be careful, there seems to be something wrong with this thundercloud."

"It’s Wang Lei who has the problem," Tong Yunshu suddenly spoke up.

Yang Fei was taken aback and asked Tong Yunshu, "What’s happening to Wang Lei?"

Tong Yunshu’s control over the spirit ship’s defense array was far superior to Yang Fei’s. While everyone else was stunned by the celestial phenomena overhead, she keenly sensed the anomaly occurring inside the spirit ship with Wang Lei.

"It looks like he’s going to establish his foundation," Tong Yunshu exclaimed in shock.

"What?"

Yang Fei was also greatly surprised.

Qin Yanyang took a deep breath and said in horror, "Establishing his foundation here, what is he thinking?"

Zhuo Donglai was equally dumbfounded, exclaiming, "Indeed, establishing a foundation here, is he courting death? Such harsh conditions will severely affect his state of mind; if his mindset becomes unstable, all his efforts will be for naught."

Chiba Susumu, Umekawa Taro, and Li Xuanyu had heard of the possibility that Earth cultivators could establish their foundations, but their understanding of the Foundation Establishment Realm was rudimentary. Hearing that Wang Lei was going for foundation establishment and seeing Yang Fei so nervous, the three were both shocked and curious.

"Everyone, be careful, I’m going to check on him," Yang Fei said before heading to the cockpit to find Wang Lei.

Tong Yunshu quickly said, "Don’t disturb him."

Qin Yanyang grabbed him and said in a solemn tone, "If he chose to establish his foundation now, it’s probably out of necessity; don’t disrupt his state."

Zhuo Donglai agreed, "Precisely, he’s already entered the Foundation Establishment State. If forcibly interrupted, it would provoke terrible backlash; we must let him rely on fate."

Boom...

Rumble...

From the dark heavens above, the continuous thunderclaps echoed, with occasional lightning tearing open the darkness, momentarily illuminating the entire spirit ship.

Moments later, everyone felt their hair standing on end.

It wasn’t just their body hair standing up, even their hair was exploding, each turning into a ball of static shock.

"We can’t stay here; otherwise, we’ll suffer calamity," Zhuo Donglai couldn’t help but shout.

Yang Fei also sensed an impending terrifying crisis and steeled his heart, saying, "He’s right; we need to leave here."

Umekawa Taro anxiously asked, "What about Wang Lei, are we just leaving him?"

Li Xuanyu also asked, "Yes, what about him?"

Yang Fei decisively said, "This is his path. Since he chose to establish his foundation here, he must have his reasons. If we stay, we’ll hinder his performance. Besides, I gave him a genuine Foundation Establishment Pill, a Five Elements Qi Gathering Pill, and a Chao Yuan Pill along with a Nourishing Pill beforehand. He’s at the foundation level, and since he’s young and talented, there shouldn’t be a problem."

Tong Yunshu also hastily said, "Yes, staying here will only hinder his foundation establishment and could affect him. We must leave."

Qin Yanyang nodded and said, "He might have chosen to establish his foundation here because the opportunity finally presented itself. When Yang Fei and I established our foundations, such celestial phenomena also accompanied it. Wang Lei’s foundation may be similar to ours; he will succeed; let’s leave first so we don’t impact his mindset."

Sun Xingyu added, "Then let’s go, stop dithering; this is the path of cultivation he must face alone."

Umekawa Taro and Li Xuanyu, although worried, said nothing more after hearing what was said.

Presently, Sun Xingyu led Umekawa Taro and Li Xuanyu to break through space first.

The remaining ones left the spirit ship in sword flight.

After roughly half an hour of flying, they finally emerged from this terrifying thundercloud region and saw the sun again.

Hovering above the sea, they nervously looked back at the endless-looking thundercloud region, silent.

"Don’t worry, he will definitely succeed," Qin Yanyang whispered, holding Yang Fei’s hand.

Tong Yunshu added, "Yes, you provided him with ample elixirs, and he’s nearly our age. According to the cultivation world, the younger you establish a foundation, the greater the chance of success."

Yang Fei nodded silently but didn’t speak.

Sun Xingyu, Umekawa Taro, and Li Xuanyu also maintained serious expressions, nobody speaking up.

If a foundation was established under normal circumstances, everyone would be confident in Wang Lei.

But Wang Lei chose to establish his foundation here.

It was truly worrying.

According to Zhuo Donglai, if this terrifying thundercloud burst completely, even Core Formation Stage cultivators wouldn’t escape, and even those at the Nascent Soul Stage might suffer severe injuries.

Though cultivators wield great power, compared to such natural might, they are still far too weak.

At least, for those at only the Foundation Establishment level, this thundercloud is extremely dangerous.

In the depths of the thundercloud, aboard the spirit ship, Wang Lei sat cross-legged, resolutely consuming the genuine Foundation Establishment Pill, Nourishing God Pill, and Five Elements Qi Gathering Pill given by Yang Fei.

He had been very confident about his foundation establishment, but forced to establish it here, he also realized the gravity of the situation.

A never-before-felt life or death crisis weighed heavily on his mind.

Yet at the same time, he faintly sensed that the Thunderclap Saber Technique he had practiced since childhood was forming a new momentum in his mind, as if an extremely intense sword intent was frantically sprouting and growing within his Sea of Consciousness, becoming clearer and stronger, as if it could burst forth at any moment.
