Chapter 62: Chapter 62: Lightning Gleams like Celestial Might
Atop a small hill,
stood a figure dressed in a dull white robe, gazing into the distance, where three massive flesh giants, even amid the gray mist, were still distinctly visible.
A madness, a self-destructive madness, constantly surged into his mind.
Fang You bit the tip of his tongue.
In his eyes were the fallen figures of one investigator after another, tiny yet majestic.
The light of belief that wafted out shone like dazzling fireworks in his eyes.
“Your efforts will not be in vain.”
Belief turned into kindling.
Fang You’s palm sparked with lightning, life energy gushing forth continuously.
Before this, the highest output of his Palm Thunder was only a single unit of life energy; adding this much was already pushing the limit, but now two units, three units, four units kept pouring in.
The granules of belief light also swarmed in from all directions, turning into kindling that burned fiercely.
This torrent of belief power was still being poured in, amplifying the strength of this strike, growing stronger and stronger, with the amplification from the belief in Flamefire nowhere near its limit.

But Fang You realized he was almost at his limit; if he continued to amplify, he wouldn’t be able to control it.
His not so strong spirit couldn’t contain this raging Thunderbolt.
Unless he launched it right now.
But, it wasn’t enough!
“With just this much power, it might not be able to kill even one flesh giant, let alone three of them.”
In the palm,
the lightning glowed ever more brightly and dazzling.
It was like a huge blue light bulb, shining in the darkened sky.
Suddenly, a golden light more dazzling than before burst forth at this spot; the dullness on the Lantern White Robe faded away completely, replaced by a resplendent golden radiance.
It seemed even the gray mist could be dispersed a bit by this golden light!
–Lighthouse state!
“Releasing lantern energy to enter Lighthouse state, at this time it will greatly enhance the wearer’s mental strength, resistance, and comes with lantern defense.”
In an instant, Fang You felt an unparalleled clarity in his mind, as the roar of the flesh giants and the madness assaulting his sanity seemed like nothing more than a gentle breeze.
His spirit strength was constantly rising, the surrounding flowers, grasses, trees, all seemed visible without the use of eyes, and the three flesh giants hundreds of meters away became clearer in his sight as well.
He had an intuition that if he threw the Palm Thunder, it would certainly hit wherever he intended.
What was once an uncontrollably wild Palm Thunder now became incredibly docile in this moment.
Or rather, his own strength had increased and firmly restrained this raging bolt of lightning.
He could be stronger still!
Belief poured in, kindling blazed fiercely, the fire of belief growing more and more intense.
The flesh giant that had just taken a step forward suddenly stopped, slowly turning its head to look into the distance.
There, a golden beam of light shone, like a lighthouse.
…
“What, what is that?”
Dark clouds loomed, the sinister roars echoed continually in the ears, and the world before them was turning bleak, almost falling into an abyss.
At this moment, a golden beam of light shot up, as if it wanted to break through this bleak world.
Investigators on the periphery looked up; within the golden beam of light, a vague figure could be discerned.
Dressed in a white robe, hand holding Thunderbolt.
Inestimably precious.
“Is… is this a miracle?”
“What kind of miracle can break through such darkness.”
Master Ma turned around.
Zhou Bureau’s skin had already turned red with burns as he lay on the ground, straining his eyes to look.
An Jianyou, upon seeing this beam of light, had light in her eyes, and her fear subsided, “Is it the mentor?”
She brought her hands together in prayer, and a point of light, larger than those of other investigators, also emerged in front of her chest and floated towards the distance, drawn by something.
…
“The Lighthouse state, so it has an effect like this?”
“It’s not all side effects.”
The white robe, diffusing golden light, almost drew a golden circle around him. Inside the circle was golden light, and moving within it became extremely difficult. However, if one was only to make simple movements like raising a hand or kicking a leg, there was no resistance.
Blazing with golden light, three enormous flesh giants, with all six eyes fixed on him, had already taken several strides, causing the ground to tremble mightily.
Fang You also raised his hand.
The splendid lightning and golden light intertwined, this strike, powered by conviction, was infused with 9 points of his life energy and amplified countless times in strength!
It was also an expert-level Palm Thunder combined with the power of Lantern White Robe!
All forces united into one!
Guided by instinct and intuition, he raised his hand and the brilliant lightning merged into the sky.
Boom—!
A dazzling, thick thunderbolt descended from the heavens as if the wrath of the heavens had been unleashed, bringing down its majestic might.
Lightning burst! In an instant, the entire center area of the gray fog turned into a sea of blue-purple lightning.
Bolts of lightning skittered like giant pythons, ripping the earth apart, shattering rocks and stones, and clamping onto those three enormous and terrible figures, tearing at them, destroying, annihilating them inch by inch.
Boom~!
The sea of lightning roared, and the bright blue light made those watching the spectacle almost unable to open their eyes.
Everyone stood petrified.
Only near the center of the gray fog, near the sea of lightning, was a figure in a black coat, dragging another person and sprinting with all their might.
The Thunderbolt burst behind them, radiant as fireworks.
Black Blade was pulling Master Ma, not looking back.
After a long time,
When the screeching in his ears had vanished and the stabbing pain in his head was no more, Jiang Tingqiu came to his senses and looked into the distance.
The wild sea of lightning, the terrifying Mysterious Evil… all had disappeared.
Only in front of him lay a broken area with a diameter of about a hundred meters, appearing as if it had been repeatedly devastated and violated.
Jiang Tingqiu was dumbfounded.
A ray of sunlight fell on his face, he looked up and discovered that the gray fog that had enshrouded the sky had dispersed.
The warm sunlight shone down.
No trace of Mysterious Evil remained on the ground.
Jiang Tingqiu was stunned for a moment, rubbed his eyes and, after a while, his face broke into an ecstatic expression.
“Old Zhou! Old Zhou, wake up, we’ve won!”
Jiang Tingqiu’s gaze swept around, searching for the figure of the brother in black, but he found no one.
But he remembered, yes, the recent miracle! That golden beam of light!
He abruptly turned his head, looking in that direction.
The golden beam had long disappeared, and he saw only a figure in a white robe, vanishing from his sight.
A few hundred meters away,
Fang You, using the remnants of his life energy, activated ‘Lightless’ state and tried to muster his spirit as he checked his phone.
Black Blade brother had already returned, nearly reaching the time limit for deployment… That’s why he had not dared to let Black Blade brother enter the scene too early, timing the deployment so that Black Blade brother’s time wouldn’t run out at a critical moment.
The brother was not in a good condition, with life energy depleted by more than two-thirds and bearing significant injuries.
Injuries caused by lightning, caught in the crossfire.
Fang You looked at himself.
Even without checking the panel, he knew his own condition was also poor. There were no injuries, but his life energy was nearly exhausted… That aside, his whole head was dizzy and throbbing, as if a needle was constantly pricking his brain.
He persisted.
Riding the small electric scooter he had hidden in a corner, he sped home in the Lightless state and finally reached his own house.
He opened the door, then closed it.
With a flop, he lay down on the sofa and took one last look at his phone before he could no longer resist, his eyelids closed and he fell into a deep sleep.
