Chapter 320: Devouring

Chapter 320: Devouring

Xiao Ming's gaze was fixed on the distant Mysterious Lightning. The lightning spread out from the lightning pool and was held up by a crystal platform that resembled a lotus leaf. The shining lightning constantly flickered on the surface of the crystal leaf, and terrifying bolts of lightning split off from it.

Meanwhile, the Mysterious Lightning and the glassy jade stone rotated, emitting a brilliant light.

Upon hearing Venerable Tian Huo's words, Xiao Ming nodded in agreement. If Venerable Tian Huo wanted to obtain the Pure Lotus Flowing Lightning for him, Xiao Ming would gladly accept it.

The Pure Lotus Flowing Lightning looked majestic, but he was only a five-star Dou Ancestor. It would take a considerable amount of effort to safely cross the lightning pool and obtain the Pure Lotus Flowing Lightning. He might even get injured in the process.

He wouldn't choose to be reckless and risk his safety when he could obtain the treasure without much effort.

In the next moment, Venerable Tian Huo stepped into the space and allowed the bolts of lightning to strike his body. Lightning flashed and flickered around him.

Xiao Ming watched as several, if not dozens, of lightning bolts impacted Venerable Tian Huo's body, creating a frightening scene that caused him to squint.

Venerable Tian Huo looked calm, and Xiao Ming could see a faint red film over his body, which should be a protective measure.

In an instant, Venerable Tian Huo crossed the lightning pool and arrived beside the Pure Lotus Flowing Lightning. He then extended his hand to touch it.

Boom!

As Venerable Tian Huo was about to touch the Pure Lotus Flowing Lightning, a bolt of terrifying lightning erupted from it and fiercely struck his arm.

Even Venerable Tian Huo, who was as strong as he was, was forced to take a small step back by the attack, and his arm felt a tingling sensation. He had to continuously shake his arm to dispel it.

"This Pure Lotus Flowing Lightning is indeed quite tricky," Venerable Tian Huo exclaimed in surprise as he extended his hand once again towards the lightning.

The lightning pool appeared to have been ignited at that point, and a great amount of lightning surged around him, striking him continuously. In a second, he was engulfed in lightning, and his entire body shone brightly.

Boom...Boom...

The continuous stream of lightning struck him unrelentingly. Despite the intense barrage, Venerable Tian Huo did not retreat.

Boom...

Finally, his hand touched the Pure Lotus Flowing Lightning. Suddenly, it became violent, and a bolt of lightning as thick as an arm burst forth from it and viciously struck his arm.

The space around Venerable Tian Huo's arm distorted slightly to extinguish the lightning bolt.

...

Returning to the resting space, Xiao Ming sat cross-legged while Venerable Tian Huo kept his distance.

With the Mysterious Lightning in his hand, Xiao Ming took a deep breath and slowly lifted the piece of glassy jade.

Terrifying lightning thundered out of the Mysterious Lightning, striking Xiao Ming's body one after another. Although he was prepared and had his Dou Qi to protect himself, he couldn't help but let out a muffled groan and feel a slight tingling sensation throughout his body.

In a hurry, Xiao Ming summoned his Spirit, which appeared to have a sense of intelligence, as it quickly approached the Pure Lotus Flowing Lightning.

Crack!

A deafening crack filled the air as lightning struck the pure white Spirit. But in the moment of contact, the Spirit devoured the lightning without hesitation.

The frenzy of the Pure Lotus Flowing Lightning did not diminish with the loss of its lightning, but instead appeared to grow even more violent.

Thick bolts of lightning struck out, entangling the Pure Lotus Flowing Lightning like lightning serpents, with electrical energy coursing all over its body. The previously dim space around it was now brilliantly illuminated.

However, the Spirit seemed to be exceptionally excited by the violent lightning, frantically rotating and devouring the bolts of lightning that came crashing down.

Xiao Ming could feel the energy within the Spirit's body increasing, and he even noticed that it had gained a new attribute.

Seeing the Spirit so excited, Xiao Ming's attention was also drawn to the Pure Lotus Flowing Lightning violently raging in his hand. With a thought, the Spirit transformed into a small snake, coiling around his hand, and then swallowed the Pure Lotus Flowing Lightning in one gulp.

Boom...

The Pure Lotus Flowing Lightning erupted completely, and its lightning origin finally exploded. However, having been swallowed by the Spirit, it could not cause any ripples, and only some small electric arcs could be seen on the surface of the Spirit.

Poof...

Watching Xiao Ming's actions from the side, Venerable Tian Huo couldn't help but twitch his mouth.

He didn't know what Qi Method Xiao Ming was cultivating, but he actually swallowed a heavenly treasure so easily.

Even for him, it would take a long time to prepare to devour this Mysterious Lightning, with a high probability of failure.

It was impossible to do it so easily and casually like Xiao Ming did!
