"I've heard that you've absorbed the Divine Black Lightning?"
When Mu Chen heard those words, he was clearly startled for a moment. Shortly after, he slightly hesitated, nodded his head and replied, "Previously, I was lucky enough to transform a bolt of Divine Black Lightning into a lightning bead and absorb it into my body. During the hunt, for the sake of fighting with senior Gu, I detonated that Divine Black Lightning bead within my body."
By the side, Gu Tianyan felt a slight flash of understanding. Only now did he understand why Mu Chen was able to rely on his Heavenly Transformation stage strength to erupt with such terrifying power. However, in the next instant, he shot a strange look at Mu Chen. This fellow was truly a monster. He actually dared to detonate the Divine Black Lightning within his body. That was something that even Sovereign experts would be unable to avoid.
Furthermore, Mu Chen was actually able to survive after detonating the Divine Black Lightning bead. This caused them to feel even more baffled. Wasn't this fellow's vitality too tenacious?
A ray of brilliance flashed within the muddy eyes of the bald old man. Extending his withered hand, he pulled open Mu Chen's sleeves. Within his palm, a black light seemed to flash across Mu Chen's arm.
Chi Chi.
As the black light flashed past, little black markings instantly surfaced on Mu Chen's arm. Those glowing markings squirmed under his skin, bringing with them an unsettling fluctuation.
"What's this?" Mu Chen was startled, as his expression changed slightly.
"Lightning poison."
The bald old man indifferently replied, "The Divine Black Lightning is a tribulation experienced by a spiritual beast when it transforms into a spiritual beast. Not only does it possess a destructive power, it also contains a bizarre lightning poison. However, the user is basically unable to detect this lightning poison. However, as time passes, the lightning poison will gradually corrode the body. It's fine if this lightning poison doesn't erupt, but once it does, with a sudden bang, your entire body will turn into a pile of dust."
Mu Chen's expression drastically changed.
Cold sweat even appeared on his forehead. By the side, a sliver of panic also flashed across Luo Li's glass-like eyes as he anxiously looked at Mu Chen.
By the side, the expressions of Mo You and Shen Cangsheng also changed. They never imagined that Mu Chen's body was actually hiding such a great calamity. If not for Lord Northern Sea, even Mo You would not have been able to detect it.
"Senior, please help him." Luo Li no longer maintained her usual silence.
Her expression caused Li Xuantong's expression to become a little complicated as he slightly tilted his head away.
"Why should this old man help him?
He brought this upon himself. Is the Divine Black Lightning. How can he withstand the Divine Black Black Lightning?
Furthermore, he even dared to detonate it within his body.
It is already fortunate that you did not die. "The bald old man's temper was clearly a little strange. He withdrew his shriveled hand and slowly spoke.
Gritting her teeth, Luo Li said, "Help him remove the" Lightning Poison ". I'll give you a reward."
The bald old sized. The Bald old Black Dragon sized. "Nine" The White said. "The Nine" The Bald old, the Black Bald Golden said. The White.
In other words, the sword in your hand. "
"If senior likes it, you can use this sword as a reward." Luo Li bit her red lips and said.
Li Xuantong's expression changed when these words were said.
Shen Cangsheng moved closer and said in a low voice, "You don't have the slightest chance."
The bald old man was also shocked. Even a Sovereign expert would be tempted by this sword. Yet, Luo Li was actually willing to use it as a reward.
This really surprised him. He could see that.
He could tell that Luo Li clearly knew the value of the sword in her hand.
"Lord Northern Sea."
Mo You could not help but call out. After all, he and Luo Li's father were old friends. If he could help, he would naturally do so.
Mu Chen extended his hand and pulled Luo Li. He faintly shook his head at her, before saying with a faint smile, "Senior, you are a person of virtue and prestige in Hokuang Reiwon. It's not appropriate for you to joke around with a girl."
"Is this old man joking around?" said the bald old man as he curled his mouth.
"Senior has always been elusive. Your sudden appearance today should be related to me, right?
Or, is it related to the matter of me absorbing the Divine Black Lightning? "asked Mu Chen with a smile.
The bald old man stared at Mu Chen. After a long while, he gave a smile and said, "Brat, you're quite astute."
Seeing the smile on the bald old man's face, everyone quietly breathed a sigh of relief. The Northern Sea Dragon had an extremely high position in Hokuang Reiwon. Furthermore, he had an eccentric temperament. If he really didn't want to take action, it would truly be a troublesome matter.
"This time, I've indeed come to find you for something. Perhaps, I might need your help with a small matter. Naturally, as a reward, I'll help you get rid of the Divine Black Lightning Poison within your body." said the bald old man.
Upon hearing this, everyone was somewhat astonished. What was the strength of the Northern Sea Dragon?
Within the entire Northern Heavens Continent, there might not be anyone that could contend against him. Yet, he actually needed the help of a Heavenly Transformation Stage Initial Phase student like Mu Chen?
"May I know what Senior needs me to do?
With just this bit of strength? "asked Mu Chen with a slight frown. If it was a matter that even the Northern Sea Dragon couldn't deal with, what could he do?
"Follow me first. When the time comes, I'll explain everything to you. Relax, I won't let you do anything that's truly seeking death." said the bald old man with a wave of his hand. However, he didn't explain what he wanted to do.
Feeling helpless, Mu Chen replied, "However, this junior is currently receiving the Spiritual Light Empowerment."
"This old man will help you do it!" said the bald old man as he glared at Mu Chen. With a single look, he was able to see through this brat's intentions.
Only then did a faint smile appear on Mu Chen's face. The stronger the person in charge of the Spiritual Light Empowerment, the better the effects would be. Within Hokuang Reiwon, it was clear that the bald old man in front of him was the most perfect candidate.
Originally, Mu Chen didn't have such an extravagant hope. However, who asked him to actually bump into him at such a time? If he didn't take advantage of such an advantage that was delivered right to his doorstep, then he'd be too stupid.
Standing by the side, Shen Cangsheng, Li Xuantong, and even Lin Zheng looked towards Mu Chen with envy. Being able to make the Northern Sea Dragon personally host the Spiritual Light Empowerment, this was the first time in Hokuang Reiwon.
"Since Mu Chen has such an opportunity, then follow Lord Northern Sea," said Mo You with a smile.
Hearing that, Mo You gave a smile. This Mu Chen truly is a lucky fellow. He's even able to encounter such a good thing.
Luo Li also released Mu Chen's hand, while the anxiousness within her eyes slowly dissipated. A smile appeared on her absolutely beautiful face as she looked towards Mu Chen, who had obtained such an opportunity.
"Then, I'll be leaving first."
Said Mu Chen as he waved his hand towards Luo Li. However, before he could say anything, the bald old man had already pulled him away. As the space fluctuated, the two of them disappeared into thin air.
Looking at the place where Mu Chen had disappeared, Shen Cangsheng and the rest were still sighing in envy. Why didn't such a good thing happen to them?
"Don't sigh. It seems that such a good thing can only be obtained by detonating the Divine Black Lightning within one's body and not dying. If you guys want it, you can give it a try," said Mo You in an indifferent tone.
The faces of Shen Cangsheng and Li Xuantong slightly changed. What a joke! The Divine Black Lightning Tribulation had killed god knows how many peak Spiritual Beasts that were attempting to break through to the Divine Beast realm, let alone detonating it within one's body. Just thinking about it made one's scalp turn numb. Only that pervert, Mu Chen, would do such a thing.
Seeing that the two of them were scared stiff, Mo You chuckled, before turning around and walking towards the interior of the great hall. As for Luo Li, he rapidly followed after him.
"Ah, forget it. It seems that we don't have that kind of fate. Let's just make do."
Shen Cangsheng helplessly shrugged his shoulders, before also walking towards the interior of the great hall. As for Li Xuantong, he looked at Luo Li's back and sighed in a somewhat melancholic manner, before finally following after him.
When he was grabbed by the bald old man, Mu Chen felt his vision rapidly darken, before a wave of intense dizziness surged forth. However, this dizziness did not last for long, before it rapidly dissipated.
"It's done."
The bald old man's indifferent voice rang out beside his ear. Only then did Mu Chen open his eyes, before staring dumbfoundedly at the scene before him.
This was a dusky space, with the entire space appearing serene and dark. Naturally, what caused Mu Chen to be most shocked wasn't this. Instead, it was the endless black sea of lightning occupying the space above him. Black lightning rivers poured down from it, akin to millions of black water pillars descending from the sky.
Mu Chen stared at the black sea of lightning. Gigantic lightning arcs were leaping about within it, while low rumbling sounds reverberated across the entire region, bringing along an indescribable might of the heavens and earth.
"What is this place?" Mu Chen's scalp turned numb. The endless black sea of lightning was too terrifying.
"The final level of the Lightning Region." The bald old man casually replied.
Mu Chen sucked in a breath of cold air. Was this the final level of the Lightning Region?
No wonder it possessed such frightening lightning energy. Compared to this place, even the seventh level of the Lightning Region paled in comparison.
"Carefully sense it. Aren't there some familiar fluctuations there?" The bald old man grinned as he pointed at the endless black sea of lightning.
Mu Chen focused his gaze. After sensing for a long while, his face turned slightly pale as he asked in shock, "Are those the fluctuations of the Divine Black Lightning?"
Within the black sea of lightning, Mu Chen could sense the fluctuations of the Divine Black Lightning!
There was obviously Divine Black Lightning concealed within the black sea of lightning!
This formation was even more terrifying than Jiu You's tribulation.
Who could have imagined that there would actually be so much Divine Black Lightning in the final level of the Lightning Region.
"The other levels of the Lightning Region. The lightning energy is scattered from here." The bald old man smiled as he replied.
Mu Chen was speechless, his heart filled with shock.
"Elder, what exactly do you want me to do by calling me here?"
Mu Chen could not help but feel slightly worried. This place was too terrifying. Any random bolt of Divine Black Lightning might be able to blast him into smithereens. He was truly unable to think of exactly how he could help the Northern Sea Dragon.
The bald old man rubbed his withered hands together, while a smile appeared on his withered old face. However, that smile instantly caused Mu Chen's hairs to stand on end, while a feeling of unease gushed out.
Extending his finger, the bald old man pointed at the black sea of lightning that stretched out from within the space, while a laughter rang out.
"I want you to help me retrieve something from the sea of lightning."
(The third update will be after midnight. I suggest everyone to watch it tomorrow.)
