Divine Harem: My Sect of Heavenly Beauties

Vast net of lightning filled the Golden hall as if the God of Lightning himself had come down. The disastrous sight was mesmerizing yet terrifying to behold.

Shen Yu stood high up in the air, looking at the Skeleton King with narrowed eyes. He had dismissed his Ape Transformation as he knew it would him do more harm than being helpful.

His figure would be too large and would easily be targeted. In a world full of lightning, it was a foolish move.

Still, he needed to defeat the skeleton King and he was wondering how would he do that. He had little experience fighting such strong opponents like this and was actually confused.

"Hmm, should I just try to see if I can use my physical alone?"

[You can. Simply make your body of rubber and boom you'll be fine.]

Shen Yu chuckled as he was reminded of an anime character from her description. He shook his head and said.

"That would be too much of a cheat. I'll just fight normally."

Saying that, he pushed the air behind him and shot towards the Skeleton King who was already coming at him. His longsword crackling with black lightning, cutting the air around them.

In an instant, both of them met and launches their attacks at each other, trying to kill each other with no other thoughts. The golden sword cleaved it's not way towards Shen Yu like a harbinger of the death.

He ignored it and punched at the armour, as he knew the Rune Formation was on it. However, it seemed the Skeleton King wasn't completely dumb as he saw through his actions and changes the trajectory of his sword to meet his fist.

Just like that, in a span of a few seconds, the two exchanged hundreds of blows. It would been a horrible sight if the battle was happening elsewhere but the Golden Hall absorbed everything their threw around, which made their battle look less devasting.

However, Shen Yu who was actually battling the Skeleton King knew that if this happened outside in the capital city, whole platue would have been decimated.

This was the strength of someone standing at the second highest realm of the world. Even though the Skeleton King didn't knew many techniques due to being a empty puppet, it used it's raw strength to full.

Every swing of sword carried intent, style, and power to cut anything. If Shen Yu wasn't careful even he might have suffered under it. Not to mention the lightning was equally disturbing.

"Tsk! The lighting actually has corrosive nature."

Shen Yu clicked his tongue as he kicked the skeleton King and made some distance between them. He then looked down at his hand which was charred black and didn't show any sign on healing.

Normally, Cultivators of their level could have a high regeneration speed which allowed them to heal from minor wounds and injury easily and quickly.

However, the lightning was actually preventing it and even causing his skin of decay. It's corruption reaching deep into his flesh, trying to devour from inside out.

Shen Yu jerked his hand, as the decayed part automatically cut itself and got thrown aside. His pale hand was once again full on view. However, he knew it wouldn't have been possible if he didn't have the true power he had.

Anyone else might have suffered heavily from this, or that might have even died. This was the power of Skeleton King's lightning, which he wasn't even using properly due to being a puppet.

If the Skeleton King was present when he was alive, then Shen Yu doubted his chances of winning.

He jumped slightly and took a deep breath. He closed his eyes and performed a few boxing stances. Then, with a wide grin on his face, he shouted.

"Time for round two!"

With a loud boom, the two once again met in the middle of the expanded Golden hall, as their speed became so fast that even a Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator would have problem in watching it.

Only the mighty Rune formation of the Golden Hall brought the scale of battle down. Even then, there were cracks all around the walls which quickly healed as if they were never there.

Loud explosions sounded all around the Golden hall as the two fought with everything they had. Tens of kilometres would have been raged to dust without the Rune Formation just from the aftermath.

The two did nothing but used their raw power to bring the other down. Each of their carrying strength enough to pulverise mountains.

Finally, after what felt like an eternity, thh battle finally stopped as the two separated from each other.

The Skeleton King's whole armour was battered with holes and scratches. It bent into angles which were impossible to imagine.

The longsword was nowhere to be seen and only it's hilt was left in the King's hand. Despite being a puppet, the Skeleton King couldn't help but stumble forward and kneel. The battle had exhausted his reserves and there was no doubt that the Skeleton King could not fight anymore.

He would not be able to protect whatever he was supposed to protect.

On the other hand, Shen Yu wasn't faring any better as his suit was filled apart almost completely, leaving him in some battered part of it. His skin was usually pale was now riddled with so many wounds that blood covered his whole body.

That wasn't it as beneath the red blood, blackness of a stormy sky could be seen. The lightning had done immense damaged to his body from inside out and he was barely able to stand.

His organs were charred from inside out, bones cracked and bent in uneven angles. If he wasn't Shen Yu, then he might already be dead.

A heavy sigh escaped his lips as he said, "I am still weak, huh! I would need to train harder."

[But you're practically the strongest, Master. You even have True Null.]

Shen Yu shook his head as a warm current filled his being, healing his damaged body and being it back to it's prime state.

"That is different."
