When the golden Thunderbolt Beast entered his body, Long Chen felt that his body had undergone some changes. The first thing he did was not to study the golden Thunderbolt Beast, but to retreat from the area. After all, if he continued to stand there, he would probably arouse the suspicion of others.
Ye Xuan did not notice that Long Chen had left. After taking a look at Ye Xuan's position, Long Chen did not say anything and directly headed towards the Feral Wolf Battalion. He was worried that the golden Thunderbolt Beast in his hand would cause some commotion.
Because of Kitten's suppression, the golden Thunderbolt Beast obediently stayed in Long Chen's hand.
On the way back, Long Chen examined the situation in the martial aperture of his left hand. A ball of golden lightning formed a small beast that looked like a lion or a tiger. It crawled in Long Chen's martial aperture. Although this small beast was formed by lightning, it was not much different from a real beast. It was very weak. Under the suppression of Kitten, it did not move at all and only slightly trembled.
"It is now extremely weak and in desperate need of strength. You need to take out your emperor crystals to feed it. Admittedly, if it recovers its full strength, we won't be able to deal with it. However, although this Thunderbolt Beast has consciousness, its consciousness is very low. It is like a newborn baby. If you feed it, it should treat you as a very kind person and will not harm you."
Kitten explained in detail as Long Chen went back.
Hearing this, Long Chen did not say anything. He tried to use a very gentle aura to pacify the small beast to prevent it from suddenly going crazy. At the same time, he took out the emperor crystals from the Great Void Realm and placed them in his hand.
"How do I feed it?"
"Put the emperor crystals on the palm of your left hand."
Following Kitten's instructions, Long Chen first placed an emperor crystal on the pattern of the small beast. Sure enough, under Long Chen's perception, the small beast in the martial aperture seemed to be excited. At that moment, the emperor crystal was directly held by the golden lightning threads and melted into Long Chen's palm. Finally, it melted into Long Chen's martial aperture.
The golden lightning beast opened its mouth wide and directly swallowed the Emperor Crystal. A burst of chewing sounds could be heard. After a while, the power of the Emperor Crystal was completely swallowed. After the golden lightning beast finished swallowing it, it was still not satisfied. It looked around anxiously.
In Long Chen's body, Long Chen's martial soul was his entire body. Therefore, this golden Thunderbolt Beast was looking in Long Chen's direction.
This golden Thunderbolt Beast's consciousness wasn't very high, but it was also very interesting.
Long Chen had a premonition that as long as he continued to feed it, this golden Thunderbolt Beast would definitely treat him as a father.
Thinking of this, Long Chen didn't say anything else as he stuffed the emperor crystals into his palms. As he walked, he fed the little golden lightning beast emperor crystals. As time passed, the deathly stillness of the little golden lightning beast gradually disappeared. A tyrannical aura that belonged to lightning began to gradually appear.
When Long Chen's speed was slightly slower, the golden Thunderbolt Beast would anxiously roll around in Long Chen's martial aperture and look in the direction of Long Chen's martial soul.
"This little guy …"
Long Chen smiled helplessly.
This golden Thunderbolt Beast was like a bottomless pit. The thirty thousand emperor crystals that Long Chen had snatched were put into its mouth one by one and were directly digested. The Kitten also needed a certain amount of emperor crystals to grow. Seeing the speed at which the golden Thunderbolt Beast was devouring the emperor crystals, it was extremely anxious.
However, it was also asking for it. Without it, Long Chen wouldn't have been able to subdue this golden Thunderbolt Beast.
Along the way, Long Chen's hands didn't stop moving. After feeding it more than ten thousand emperor crystals, the golden lightning beast finally showed a satisfied expression. Its body had also grown a little bigger, and the golden lightning around it had become a little more lustrous. It couldn't be said to be strong, but it wasn't as weak as a thousand emperor crystals.
Now that it was night time, Long Chen stealthily entered the basement of his room without anyone's knowledge. In the Underworld Army, privacy was still somewhat guaranteed. At least in this sturdy basement, it would be very difficult to directly enter the door without forcefully attacking.
The buildings here were strengthened by talisman masters' runes and tempered by emperor spiritual qi, making them incomparably hard.
"Damn it, this little thing's appetite is so big. How am I going to survive in the future?" Kitten said bitterly.
Long Chen had a total of thirty thousand emperor crystals on him. In just a short while, ten thousand emperor crystals had already been devoured. Moreover, this golden Thunderbolt Beast clearly wasn't full yet.
Long Chen was a person who did great things. His intuition told him that he would have a huge harvest tonight. Therefore, he didn't hesitate and continued to let the golden Thunderbolt Beast devour all the emperor crystals. One by one, the emperor crystals submerged in Long Chen's palm and were devoured by the golden pattern on his palm.
Time gradually passed and it was already late at night. When Long Chen's thirty thousand emperor crystals were reduced to less than a thousand emperor crystals, the soft chewing sound in the martial aperture of his left hand finally disappeared. The golden Thunderbolt Beast, which was originally on its last breath, had already doubled in size after being nourished by Long Chen's emperor crystals.
After devouring the emperor crystals, the golden Thunderbolt Beast burped as if it had recovered its vitality. It roamed around in Long Chen's martial aperture, but it didn't leave Long Chen's martial aperture. It seemed to be very excited.
Occasionally, it also fused with Long Chen's elixir that was filled with Qi.
Long Chen felt that the golden Thunderbolt Beast was expressing its goodwill towards him.
In the process of interacting with the elixir, a trace of blood-red Qi fused with the golden Thunderbolt Beast. Long Chen seemed to feel that he had a certain connection with this golden Thunderbolt Beast.
"It has acknowledged you. You are now its master and can gradually control it. There is still a lot of time left. You should carefully communicate with it. The more you communicate with it, the more power you can display."
Long Chen followed Kitten's instructions and carefully communicated with the golden Thunderbolt Beast. This thing could only be regarded as a little spiritual wisdom, but it couldn't be regarded as a real life. When it fused with Long Chen, it also became a part of Long Chen.
Under Long Chen's control, the golden Soul-Chasing Hell Thunder began to spread from Long Chen's left martial aperture to his whole body. In order to avoid the destruction of this lightning, Long Chen could only transform into the Dragon Soul. However, he soon discovered that he was actually worrying too much. Because the golden Thunderbolt Beast had already surrendered to him, this golden lightning was like his own. It wouldn't cause severe damage to his body, but instead, it was a kind of tempering.
The golden lightning wandered through every part of Long Chen's body. From the outside, his body seemed to be covered in dense golden lightning. This scene looked very terrifying, but it was actually not. Under the tempering of this lightning, Long Chen felt very comfortable.
The power of the golden lightning fused into every particle of Long Chen's body.
This was different from the tempering of Long Chen's body in the past. The tempering of this golden lightning didn't have much effect on strengthening his body, but it made Long Chen's body more refined and solid. It was as if every particle of his body was blessed with lightning. Long Chen felt his whole body become light.
After a bit of testing, he discovered that his speed and flexibility had increased a lot.
This was why he used the golden Thunderbolt Beast to temper himself for a while.
"The effect is actually so domineering." The corner of Long Chen's mouth curved into a very satisfied smile.
The tempering of speed wasn't the greatest benefit of this golden Thunderbolt Beast to Long Chen. Suddenly obtaining something like this made Long Chen extremely happy. He had a feeling that this golden Thunderbolt Beast would definitely bring great benefits to Long Chen, just like the True Martial Emperor's Soul.
This thing was much more important than the other things left behind by the Five Emperors, such as the Five Emperors' Dharma Forms and Hell King Destroys the Army.
"Thirty thousand emperor crystals is just a snack for this golden Thunderbolt Beast. Looks like I can't forget to get more emperor crystals when I go to the Nether Battlefield."
All along, Long Chen hadn't considered money to be particularly important. However, after obtaining the golden lightning beast, he realized how important it was.
"What do you plan to do next? Go straight to the Nether Battlefield?" asked Kitten.
Long Chen thought about it and shook his head. Although he had offended people like Huang Qiong and Song Yang in the training camp of the Nether Army, it would be different if he went to the Nether Battlefield. But there was a problem. If he went to the Nether Battlefield, it would definitely be recorded. Long Chen had only cultivated Nether Qi for a dozen days. This was big news in the Nether Army, and Long Chen didn't want to become a well-known figure.
"Starting tomorrow, I'll go to the Nether Square to cultivate. Two months will pass in a flash. I'll wait for two more months before going in. I don't think it will cause too much of a commotion."
It was already late, and Long Chen planned to go to the Nether Square the next day. Just as he decided to cultivate for a while, his Spirit-Devouring Demon Eye suddenly sensed something. He raised his head and saw that someone had sneaked into his room and was heading towards the basement.
Who could it be?
Long Chen quickly realized that it was Huang Qiong, who had injured him during the day.
"He's here for the Hell King Destroys the Army. Maybe he sensed me when I came back and is waiting for me to enter a state of cultivation before coming to kill me."
