Immortal and Martial Dual Cultivation Chapter 1444 Raw 1429 : Divine Lightning World

Chapter 1444 (Raw 1429): Divine Lightning World

The golden water, the golden sky, and the golden clump of electric light.

Everything was the same as the past. Many years ago, Xiao Chen extracted just a trace of lightning from the electric light clump, and he succeeded in comprehending the will of thunder. The him then would never have imagined that he would stand here with lofty aspirations in this life, thinking of how to subdue the Divine Lightning.

Two thousand years ago, the Thunder Emperor Sang Mu, who had gone even further on the Thunder Dao than Xiao Chen, failed to subdue this Divine Lightning.

Right now, Xiao Chen was far from comparable to the Thunder Emperor Sang Mu at the latter’s peak. However, he should be similar to the Sang Mu that had not broken through to Sovereign Martial Emperor yet.

Xiao Chen recalled Ao Jiao saying that the Thunder Emperor, like Ying Zongtian, had undergone three lightning tribulations at the same time before obtaining strength equal to a Prime’s. Then, he immediately went to challenge the Thunder Sovereign. Logically speaking, he should not have been at his peak when he came here.

Which was to say that the Thunder Emperor Sang Mu might have been able to subdue this Divine Lightning when he was at his peak. It was just that he did not come.

This was a piece of good news. At the very least, Xiao Chen would not feel any pressure. If the Thunder Emperor could not subdue this Divine Lightning even at his peak, Xiao Chen would feel extraordinary pressure.

Xiao Chen had two advantages over the Thunder Emperor. Firstly, he dual-cultivated Immortal Cultivation and Martial Cultivation. He possessed some of the methods of Immortal Cultivators. This Divine Lightning was clearly something left behind by a major character of the Immortal Epoch.

The second advantage was a rather passive one. Xiao Chen had been the Sky Dome Immortal Lord in his previous life, the strongest of the three thousand Immortal Lords. During the Immortal Epoch, he had been the most mysterious Immortal Lord. At the same time, he had also been the last Immortal of the Immortal Epoch.

Even after those Immortal Kings and Immortal Ancestors all fell and vanished, he had still survived until the end.

While the second advantage sounded terrifying, in reality, Xiao Chen did not know if it was useful. He did not even know how to use it. Hence, it was just a passive advantage.

Previously, Xiao Chen’s Spiritual Sense had entered this electric light. This time, he wanted to subdue the Divine Lightning. Clearly, he could not rely on just his Spiritual Sense. He needed to enter physically.

However, he definitely could not avoid using his Spiritual Sense to scout the way first.

While on the throne, Xiao Chen flicked his finger, and a hole opened in the clump of electric light. Before the hole mended, his Spiritual Sense quickly rushed in.

From the outside, the clump of light was only the size of a human head. However, the space inside was so large, it was boundless. It was like a world unto itself.

Now that Xiao Chen was in this world, he could not suppress the excitement in his heart. He wondered how strong the master of this Divine Lightning had been when alive.

The center of this world was surrounded by countless golden lightning True Dragons. In this pitch-black space, the golden dragons looked incredibly dazzling. Occasionally, lightning appeared, moving by in a flash.

Even when Xiao Chen’s Spiritual Sense moved carefully and cautiously, it still failed to reach the deepest part, eradicated by the lightning that appeared at random.

After trying a few times and getting a better understanding of this lightning world, Xiao Chen decided to physically enter it.

The Divine Lightning formed its own world. It was not easy for his physical body to enter.

Looking at that head-sized clump of electric light, it was obvious that Xiao Chen’s body would not fit. He had to think of a way.

Xiao Chen moved around the clump of electric light and could not find a solution.

If only Ao Jiao were here right now! She would definitely have a way, Xiao Chen thought as he looked at the Lunar Shadow Saber in his hand.

“Whoosh!”

When Xiao Chen thought this, the Lunar Shadow Saber suddenly struggled free and charged at the clump of electric light. Even sheathed, the Lunar Shadow Saber was extraordinarily mighty. With a ‘boom,’ it shattered the clump of electric light.

The instant the clump of light shattered, a door to the void opened, appearing like a screen of water.

Right after the Lunar Shadow Saber did this, it returned to Xiao Chen’s hand. He gaped incredulously at this scene. He had not expected the solution to the problem troubling him to be so simple.

Ao Jiao, since you can understand me, why are you not willing to meet me?

As Xiao Chen held the scabbard tightly, his heart ached. It was not because of Ao Jiao but himself.

However, this emotion lasted for only a moment before he forcefully cut himself off from it. Then, he shifted his focus to the door to the void. A rainbow light flashed, the Cycle Throne turning into a beam of light and entering the door.

“Whoosh!”

The scene in front changed again.

Now that Xiao Chen’s true body was inside, it felt very different from when his Spiritual Sense entered. This pitch-black void world was extremely startling.

The pressure from the Divine Lightning in the center was suffocating. Even from far away, the might of the Divine Lightning entered his sea of consciousness and firmly suppressed him. When he faced it, it was like he grew shorter. He felt some fear in his heart, like this thing could not be profaned.

The sudden pressure shocked Xiao Chen. Before he even got close to the Divine Lightning, he already felt inferior. How was he going to subdue this Divine Lightning at this rate?

This is unacceptable.

Xiao Chen screwed his eyes tight. In the depths of his sea of consciousness, his Dharmic Incarnation was down on one knee, clutching a saber stabbed into the ground as it bore the tremendous pressure.

Stand up! Stand up!

Focusing all his willpower and his thoughts, Xiao Chen controlled the Dharmic Incarnation and slowly resisted the might of the Divine Lightning.

In the depths of his sea of consciousness, after all his efforts, the Dharmic Incarnation struggled upright. Finally, he roared ferociously and sent out a saber strike.

“Crack! Crack!”

Cracking sounds rang out in his sea of consciousness. That was the invisible might of the Divine Lightning. After chopping down the might of the Divine Lightning that had infiltrated his sea of consciousness, he immediately felt better. As he sat on the throne, a Sovereign’s Might surrounded him.

This allowed Xiao Chen to maintain a neither-servile-nor-overbearing attitude before the Divine Lightning. His strong aura clashed continuously with the Divine Lightning’s might.

“Let’s go!”

Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes and controlled the throne to head quickly for the place that millions of golden electric dragons surrounded.

He was clearly flying forward, but the feeling he had was akin to freefall.

“Pu ci!”

A bolt of lightning formed out of nowhere and launched itself at Xiao Chen. Pride unsheathed and eradicated this bolt of lightning.

As Xiao Chen continuously descended, the seven Divine Weapons unsheathed, circling the Cycle Throne and weaving a tight defense. He gave off boundless saber light in the pitch-blackness as he slowly approached the center of this lightning world.

How foolish of me! These lightning bolts come from the Divine Lightning. My Innate Thunder Crystal just condensed and has not even reached Small Perfection yet. This is the best time to absorb these lightning bolts.

Suddenly, Xiao Chen thought of something. He quickly put aside the seven Divine Weapons, and a purple talisman flickering with light flew out from his forehead.

“Whoosh!”

Another bolt of lightning flew over. Xiao Chen did not block it. Instead, he directly placed his purple talisman in front of it. With a ‘whoosh,’ the lightning bolt entered the purple talisman. After some flickering, the hue of the purple talisman turned slightly deeper.

“It works!”

Upon seeing this mild change, Xiao Chen rejoiced. After this, he allowed his Innate Thunder Crystal to absorb all the lightning bolts flying about for the rest of the journey.

After four hours, the originally plain and simple purple talisman started to glow faintly. The electric patterns on the talisman looked like flowing water, slowly churning.

Such a change truly induced elation. Xiao Chen barely cultivated his Innate Thunder Crystal. However, just by moving about for a while in this space, it actually reached Small Perfection.

“At this rate, by the time I get close to the Divine Lightning in the center, my Innate Thunder Crystal might reach Great Perfection.”

Xiao Chen made some calculations. Even if he could not subdue this Divine Lightning on this trip, he had already gained a lot.

By normal cultivation times, it would take at least two years for him to raise the Innate Thunder Crystal to Great Perfection.

Time slowly passed. Xiao Chen got increasingly closer to the center of this lightning world. He could already clearly see the multitude of lightning True Dragons with his eyes.

There were simply too many golden lightning dragons overlapping each other in several layers. Even now, he still could not see the true appearance of the Divine Lightning.

Could it be that I’ll have to eradicate all these golden lightning dragons before I can see the Divine Lightning?

This thought made Xiao Chen feel some despair. Even in one hundred years, he would not be able to eradicate all of these millions of golden lightning dragons.

“Whoosh!”

Just as Xiao Chen was feeling despair, the ball formed by millions of lightning dragons expanded outward continuously.

Like pulling silk from cocoons, it opened layer by layer. With each layer that opened, the golden light became increasingly dazzling.

Boundless electric light flew over. Xiao Chen had to stretch his arm out to use his sleeve to block the light.

What’s going on? Amid his doubts, Xiao Chen suddenly felt an incredibly intense light that seemed to pierce through his body.

Xiao Chen relaxed his arm and lowered his sleeve. This was the most intense light that he had seen in his life. Then, he could only watch as his Innate Thunder Crystal, which was approaching Great Perfection, melted like snow before this intense light.
