Chapter 241 - Lightning Strike, Thunder Roar

It was not hard for a talented Foundation Establishment Plane cultivator to slay a Golden Core Sage.

Nevertheless, Chen Jingzhai understood the huge difference between the cultivators from Pulao Kingdom and Pulao Territory.

The Golden Core Sages of Pulao Territory were much stronger than those from the kingdom.

Ma Qing and the rest of his brothers were great examples. They were much stronger than the sages from the Eastern Ocean.

Chen Jingzhai personally knew how amazing it was for him to kill a lord.

He grinned. Although he was not 100% sure he could win, he still had a lot of aces up his sleeves. With those, he could defeat the sages with a slight challenge.

It was a good thing as it was worth the expectation. After all, he was facing the powerful Luo Tian Immortal Faction.

The white lightning with a red glare filled the sky and dispersed the thunder caused by the spear.

The white lightning was then shot toward the Thunder Giant.

In just a single attack, Hu Shouyang’s Thunder Giant fell.

Despite that, the man was not surprised.

After all, his Thunder Giant was created by his own spell and will.

Naturally, such a thing would not be able to withstand the lightning generated by nature.

Despite losing that round, Hu Shouyang was still not admitting his defeat.

With a flick of his finger, a blue-colored water veil shot up around him.

Following that, a thick water serpent appeared and started to circle behind the man.

The man then gripped his fist, turning the Thunder Giant into a lightning ball.

With a hiss, the water serpent opened its mouth and swallowed the lightning ball.

Then, lightning was spread throughout the entire water serpent, turning its blue hue into purple. Lightning sparkled in its eyes and all over its body.

What Hu Shouyang performed was a combination spell.

Nonetheless, Chen Jingzhai’s expression remained calm. It was a norm for cultivators who had mastered Dharma Intent to mix and match different spells.

Usually, it would be extremely hard to combine two different spells together. However, once cultivators had mastered the Dharma Intent, the spells could be shaped into whatever they wanted.

What slightly surprised Chen Jingzhai was the combination of water and lightning spells because that would weaken the damage output of the lightning spell.

The young man wondered why Hu Shouyang did that.

The combined spell was clearly different.

It was no longer a normal water serpent, but a lightning water serpent.

If the lightning water serpent were real, it would have been shocking.

Chen Jingzhai was curious as to how Hu Shouyang did that.

“It’s the spear!” Jiang Liuyun told Chen Jingzhai through telepathy. “That is the lightning magic treasure the Hu family bought with a lot of money. It has two different forms. It can either take the shape of a spear or lightning.”

Chen Jingzhai nodded and continued to watch.

The Lightning Water Giant Serpent and Lightning Dragon glared at each other in the sky. As the white lightning died down, the entire space inside the formation fell into a short moment of silence. Suddenly, both of them started attacking at the same time.

The Lightning Water Giant Serpent opened its mouth and shot out a wave of water shrouded by lightning. It was as if a tsunami was approaching from Hu Shouyang’s side.

On the other hand, the Lightning Dragon rose up into the sky and turned back toward the Lightning Water Giant Serpent before shooting dragon balls out of its mouth. The lightning balls covered in white fire fell from the sky like comets.

After a loud explosion, the rumbling of the thunder slowly died down.

Once the smoke cleared, the Lightning Water Giant Serpent was nowhere to be seen. Meanwhile, the Lightning Dragon continued to circle in the air. Hu Shouyang was now holding the spear in his hand. Blood was dripping from the corner of his mouth.

“So, Junior Brother, will you admit your defeat now?” Chen Lei smiled.

“How could I admit my defeat when you haven’t used your second spirit lightning and magic eye?” Hu Shouyang gritted his teeth. “If I can’t fight with lightning alone, I’ll try with all five elements!”

He then put his spear away and threw a bracelet out with his left hand.

The bracelet shone in five different colored lights and split into five. The lights were so bright that it was hard to look at them.

With a roar, the bracelets expanded and dropped into his hand.

He then injected his spiritual power into the bracelets and shot five halos in different colors toward the Lightning Dragon.

The Lightning Dragon swept its tail and sent the halos flying the other way. However, its tail started to break down afterward.

“Is that a high-grade Five Elements Bracelet? You came prepared!” Chen Lei could not help but grin. The exterminating power of the five elements had managed to counter his spell.

With the fall of the Lightning Dragon, Chen Lei was not able to maintain his first spell anymore.

“There’s no way I can slack when I’m facing you, Senior Brother,” said Hu Shouyang.

He then made a sign with his hands. The bracelets started to spin in the air.

A black dragon turtle with a five-colored shell appeared out of nowhere and swung its paw toward Chen Lei. The exterminating power of the five elements was brought down on the senior brother as if a huge mountain had fallen from the sky.

“Just in time.” Chen Lei grinned and grabbed the air.

The Red Shine White Lightning suddenly took the form of a spear in front of everyone’s eyes. It was blue and white and lightning sparkled all over it.

As the dragon turtle brought its paw down, Chen Lei met it with his spear.

The lightning spear was launched toward the dragon turtle. Not only did it pierce through the beast’s paw, but it also dug itself deep into the dragon turtle’s body. Although the spear exploded, the dragon turtle remained standing with the five elements power still circulating it.

“That’s insane!” Chen Jingzhai exclaimed in a low voice after witnessing how powerful the two were.

Hu Shouyang had lost the first exchange of attacks and was forced to switch his lightning spear with the high-grade Five Elements Bracelet.

His spiritual power was as dense as a Golden Core Sage.

Even a sage would not be able to continuously use two magic treasures.

The Five Elements Bracelet was able to take on different forms through a powerful Treasure Controlling Technique.

Chen Jingzhai was also shocked by the exterminating power of the bracelet.

Although the five elements contradicted each other, the destructive power did not come from that.

Instead, the five elements complemented one another. Chen Jingzhai was able to learn a lot from that.

On the other hand, Chen Lei was even stronger. Even after Hu Shouyang had used two magic treasures, the senior brother had yet to use any single one of his.

Chen Lei was able to use spells to defend himself against magic treasures.

Moreover, according to Hu Shouyang, Chen Lei had more than one spirit lightning and a magic eye.

The Innate Lightning Body was such a frightening existence.

“Hu Shouyang is still a little weaker. He’s testing Chen Lei for the other two,” Jiang Liuyun said through telepathy. “Unfortunately, Senior Brother Chen has the Innate Lightning Body. Rumor has it that he has three different spirit lightnings. One of them could even further enhance his lightning and physical body. Looks like Hu Shouyang will not be able to force senior brother to use his full strength.”

Using two spells to defend himself against two magic treasures despite still being in the Foundation Establishment Plane was something almost impossible.

“Can one obtain a spirit lightning that easily?” Chen Jingzhai was speechless.

“Through lightning seeds, yes. That’s the strongest part of having a lightning body.” Jiang Liuyun smiled. “Although lightning seeds are rare, the 10th Branch has a solid foundation and has a lot of the seeds in their storage. Also, with Senior Brother Chen’s potential, it wouldn’t be hard for him to ask a Spirit Plane Lord to help collect some lightning seeds.”

The bigger potential one had, the better attention they would get from their clan.

That was what Jiang Liuyun meant. Any other clans in the Heaven Essence Realm were fundamentally the same. One before the Golden Core Plane would be valued for their potential, while those in the Golden Core Plane or later would be valued for their luck.

Besides, one would be extremely lucky if he advanced to the Golden Core Plane with great potential.

It was a string of events that happened all at once, which was why genius talents would fight each other.

Inside the formation, the dragon turtle remained standing after suffering from an explosion. It then used the five elements power to restrain the Red Shine White Lightning. As the dragon turtle glared, a ray of Five Elements Destruction Divine Light was shot out.

Naturally, it was not the dragon turtle’s power. Instead, it was the high-grade Five Elements Bracelet.

The bracelet had two different powers, a true and a reverse. Hu Shouyang had been using the reverse five elements power.

The two powers, the exterminating power and the destructive power, were almost similar in nature and both powerful.

“Interesting!” Chen Lei grinned. With a wipe on his forehead with his finger, he opened his third eye.

That was his Lightning Magic Eye, a vertical eye that appeared naturally on his forehead.

The moment he opened his magic eye, a golden lightning ray was shot out.

“Is… is that the Warm Sun Golden Lightning?” Chen Jingzhai could not believe it.

If his guess was correct, that would be the spirit lightning that could enhance Chen Lei’s Lightning Body, which Jiang Liuyun had mentioned.

However, it was something almost impossible to obtain as the Warm Sun Golden Lightning had no lightning seed.

It would be hard for people to recultivate one as the method was long gone.

“That is the Warm Sun Golden Lightning. An elder from the 10th Branch was able to create one through the blood of a Grade 5 Demon King. He then implanted it into Chen Lei’s body through a secret method,” Jiang Liuyun explained. “Once the implantation was successful, he could open his third eye, the Lightning Magic Eye, and his power was immediately multiplied.”
