Liu Guanfeng turned his head towards Zhang Diba and said, "By the way, Your Majesty, have you considered that there are still over a hundred thousand people on Said Island? What will happen to them?"
"I have thought about it. I plan to send someone to inform Grand Marshal Zhu Xiao tomorrow, hoping he can understand the situation and lead his army back to surrender. Otherwise, we don't know how many more people will die. Moreover, I heard that their equipment was also purchased from you, which makes things even more complicated."
"Rest assured, Your Majesty. As far as I know, Marshal Zhu Xiaoyuan is a very reasonable person and quite generous as well. I believe that as long as the person sent persuades him sincerely, he will agree."
"I hope so."
After the three finished their meal, Zhang Diba kept Liu Guanfeng and Black Eagle in the palace. With Zhang Diba's wife deceased, there was only his daughter Zhang Yuru and some maids in the entire harem, so it was manageable for Liu Guanfeng and Black Eagle to stay.
Zhang Diba kept them both to better study martial arts. With Liu Guanfeng, a master present, both Zhang Diba and Black Eagle were eager to seek his guidance daily. Liu Guanfeng resolved all their questions and even made adjustments to Zhang Diba's martial arts techniques based on his characteristics. After a few days of interaction, both benefited greatly.
Five days later, someone reported that a strange fragrance was emanating from XP's room. Liu Guanfeng knew this indicated that XP was about to advance to Divine Knight and was also a signal of imminent awakening.
Thus, Liu Guanfeng immediately took his leave from Zhang Diba and Black Eagle, bringing Little Black with him to XP's room. Upon entering the room, Liu Guanfeng saw that XP was enveloped in white gas, resembling a giant egg from which the strange fragrance emanated.
At this moment, the white Fighting Qi inside the egg began to gradually fade. After a full day had passed, the white Fighting Qi completely disappeared along with the strange fragrance. Shortly after, an unusual phenomenon occurred in the sky; dark clouds appeared above XP's resting room.
Little Black smiled at Liu Guanfeng and said, "It's time for the final moment."
"What should we do to help him?"
"Becoming a god is an act against heaven; thus, it attracts heavenly wrath. As long as he can withstand nine bolts of heavenly lightning, he will be fine. The thunder will arrive in two hours; you need to ensure everyone around leaves at least one kilometer away."
Liu Guanfeng nodded and then called over a Lieutenant to inform everyone not to approach XP's room within one kilometer. Fortunately, XP had advanced outside the city in a tent initially, so now that the military camp was gone, there was only this one tent on the official road with not many people around.
The Lieutenant immediately went out to gather troops and blocked all passersby from coming within one kilometer. Many people wanted to see what was happening after noticing the phenomenon but were stopped by guards outside.
Two hours later, they saw the clouds pressing lower and lower; lightning could be seen within them with the naked eye. Liu Guanfeng looked at Little Black and asked, "Senior Brother, is there anything we can do to help him?"
Little Black nodded, "Both of us have the lightning attribute in our bodies, so helping it should not be a problem. It's just like when we usually cultivate; our bodies will connect with xp's body. When the lightning strikes, we can share some of the burden, so it should be fine."
"Alright, Senior Brother, let's get ready now."
Liu Guanfeng was about to carry xp to the ground when xp opened its eyes and said, "Master."
"You’re awake? How do you feel now?"
"I feel great; I seem to be much stronger than before."
"That's good to hear. xp, the heavenly lightning is coming; we will face it together."
"Master, the heavenly lightning is very dangerous. How can I let you take the risk? Let xp face it alone."
"xp, you, me, and Senior Brother are one entity. We must face difficulties together; that’s what it means to advance and retreat together."
"Enough talking; the heavenly lightning is coming soon. Hurry outside to prepare; otherwise, it will be too late," Little Black said before turning and leaving the tent, followed by Liu Guanfeng and xp.
At this moment, dark clouds were pressing down overhead, only a few dozen meters above them. Terrifying silver dragons were weaving through the black clouds. The scene was frightening; even those watching from a kilometer away instinctively stepped back.
The lightning weaving through the clouds seemed to sense that there were more than one person below, so it began gathering energy in the sky. However, the frequency of the lightning's movement in the clouds was increasing rapidly. After accumulating energy for over ten minutes, a massive bolt of lightning suddenly struck down from the clouds, hitting one person and two beasts directly.
Since Liu Guanfeng and Little Black had faced heavenly lightning during their usual cultivation sessions, they were not worried at all this time. In contrast, xp appeared unusually tense. If it could survive this heavenly lightning tribulation, it would become a true divine beast; if not, then its life and those of Liu Guanfeng and Little Black would be in danger.
However, when xp saw the giant lightning strike down towards it, it wasn't as terrifying as imagined. It only felt a slight numbness in its body and thought it wasn't a big deal. What it didn't know was that this bolt of heavenly lightning only affected one-fifth of its power; the remaining four-fifths were shared equally by Liu Guanfeng and Little Black.
Although Liu Guanfeng's Dragon Pearl had shattered completely, his ability to absorb lightning had not weakened; on the contrary, he absorbed it even more rapidly. After this bolt of heavenly lightning struck down, all of Liu Guanfeng's Fighting Qi began to circulate within him, forming a channel through which Thunder Energy flowed directly into his Dantian. As this Thunder Energy passed through the channel, his Chaotic Qi quickly surrounded it. By the time Thunder Energy reached his Dantian, Chaotic Qi swiftly wrapped Thunder Energy into a small energy ball.
Thus far, one bolt, two bolts, three bolts... Eight bolts of lightning had struck down. At this point, eight energy balls had formed in Liu Guanfeng's Dantian, each one larger than the last.
Meanwhile, xp's fur stood on end between Little Black and Liu Guanfeng, while heavenly lightning was cleansing xp's body. Many streaks of red-black blood had already appeared on xp's body.
After seeing xp bleeding, Liu Guanfeng asked, "How are you feeling, xp? Can you hold on?"
xp nodded with difficulty, "Don't worry, Master. I feel very good right now."
"If you can't take it anymore, just shout out. My senior brother and I will know how to help you then."
"Thank you for your concern, Master."
At this moment, nearly half an hour had passed since the eighth thunderbolt struck. Only flashes of lightning could be seen in the dark clouds, but the ninth thunderbolt had yet to fall. Meanwhile, the cloud layer above continued to thicken and lower in height. Liu Guanfeng looked up and saw that the clouds were now less than ten meters away from his head.
Just then, Little Black spoke up: "Attention! The last thunderbolt is about to come down. Let's release all our Fighting Qi and see what happens this time."
Upon hearing Little Black's words, the protective shields of the three—one person and two beasts—were activated simultaneously. Due to their terrifying strength, the diameter of this protective shield reached nearly fifty meters. This action left the onlookers astonished; a fifty-meter protective shield was truly terrifying.
As soon as they set up the shield, a loud thunderclap echoed from the sky, and a massive bolt of lightning descended, enveloping the entire fifty-meter protective shield in its glow.
The nearby citizens were caught off guard; many in the front row were knocked to the ground by the thunderclap, while those still standing instinctively took two steps back.
The massive thunder did not disappear immediately; it lasted a full five or six seconds before vanishing. At that moment, the enormous protective shield also came to an end. The area around the shield showed signs of being scorched by the earlier lightning strike, while the inside of the shield remained completely unchanged.
As the dark clouds in the sky disappeared without a trace along with the last bolt of lightning, Liu Guanfeng, Little Black, and xp remained seated at the center of the protective shield. Meanwhile, soldiers continued to block the citizens' advance to prevent any accidents.
About an hour later, Liu Guanfeng and Little Black opened their eyes one after another, while xp kept its eyes tightly shut. However, next to xp's original two heads appeared a small fleshy ball that had grown to about the size of a bowl.
Under Liu Guanfeng's direction, all citizens were guided around into Spring City. At the same time, Liu Guanfeng instructed soldiers to form a circle of several meters around xp to protect it while he and Little Black stood motionless beside it.
Watching this spectacle from atop the city wall, Zhang Diba and Black Eagle exchanged smiles before returning to the palace.
Xp's small head grew to match the size of the other two heads only deep into the night. By early morning of the next day, eyes and a nose had formed on top of the third head. After another half hour passed, xp's new head was the first to open its eyes, followed by the remaining two heads.
Liu Guanfeng and Little Black looked at xp curiously: "Are you now a Divine Knight?"
The three heads of xp lit up together: "Yes, Master, I am now a divine beast. According to our heritage, we Hellhounds have never had a Divine Knight beast appear since ancient times."
"Then I congratulate you on becoming the first divine beast among the Hellhounds."
"Master, I should thank you even more. Without you, I might still be a little beast waiting for someone to claim me."
Liu Guanfeng stood up and looked around. The guards from yesterday were still diligently standing nearby. Liu Guanfeng took out a small pouch from his pocket, called over the leader of the guards, and handed him the pouch: "Brother, thank you for your hard work over the past day and night. Take this money and buy some food and drinks for the brothers."
The leader did not refuse and directly accepted the money, cupping his fist towards Liu Guanfeng: "Thank you, President Liu." After saying that, he took the money and led his group of subordinates away from the tent to rest in Spring City.
Liu Guanfeng then looked at xp: "How are you feeling now? Can you walk?"
"Master, don't worry. I'm feeling better than ever; it's just that I feel uncomfortable all over."
"How can you not feel uncomfortable? Just look at yourself; who would still think you're a White Hellhound?"
Upon hearing Liu Guanfeng's words, xp lowered its head to take a look. Indeed, there was hardly any trace of white fur left on it. Its body was covered in blood that had seeped out during yesterday's thunder strike, and after a day, the blood had dried up. Now, xp looked like a small black dog, and it was no wonder it felt uncomfortable.
"Alright, stop admiring your fur. Hurry up and come with me to the palace; let's find someone to get you some water so you can wash up properly."
"Master, let's hurry then." With that, both the master and the divine beast entered Spring City together. A divine beast Hellhound was born in front of a crowd of citizens, marking the first appearance of a divine beast on Luo Heng Island.
