Rumble!
Berserk peals of thunder resounded across the entire space as destructive energies swept out, appearing as though they wanted to destroy the heavens and earth, causing people to feel dread.
Upon appearing, the lightning spirit had locked onto the Northern Sea Dragon that it was most familiar with. The boundless fluctuations radiating from the latter's body caused it to feel an extremely great sense of danger.
Bang!
The sea of lightning crazily surged, causing giant waves that were ten thousand metres high to surge out. The lightning spirit furiously roared, as the ten thousand metre high lightning wave condensed from black lightning swept out, hiding the skies and covering the earth as it pressed down towards the Northern Sea Dragon.
However, in the face of its attack, a chilling glint flashed across the Northern Sea Dragon's giant eyes. Opening its giant mouth, a jet-black wave surged out, containing an endless amount of chilling air within it, appearing as though it could freeze space itself.
Crack! Crack!
As the wave collided with the lightning wave, it actually forcefully froze the lightning wave. Layers of black ice rapidly spread out, before rushing towards the lightning spirit above the sea of lightning at lightning speed.
Bang!
Countless black lightning bolts rushed out from the sea of lightning like enraged dragons, violently smashing against the black ice layer, before shattering it into pieces.
Standing on the Lightning Refining Platform, shock and astonishment appeared in Mu Chen's eyes as he watched the terrifying confrontation unfolding before him. This was truly a power that could shatter space and cause the heavens and earth to tremble.
This was a Sovereign.
A true expert of the Great Thousand Worlds.
A scorching light erupted within Mu Chen's eyes. This was also his goal on the path of cultivation. There would be a day where he would be able to reach such a level!
Very quickly, Mu Chen retracted his thoughts, before turning his gaze towards the surging black sea of lightning. At this moment, the Northern Sea Dragon had already tangled up with the lightning spirit.
This was the best opportunity for him to dive into the sea of lightning.
Although the black lightning that blotted the skies were wreaking havoc, there wasn't much fear or dread in Mu Chen's heart. Tensing his body, he abruptly shot out in the next instant, stealthily shooting towards the sea of lightning.
A glint flashed within the giant eyes of the Northern Sea Dragon, before his attacks abruptly turned berserk, forcing the lightning spirit to continuously retreat. Clearly, he was trying to divert the lightning spirit's attention, otherwise, once Mu Chen was discovered.
Any random bolt of lightning would be enough to turn him into ashes.
However, it was a good thing that Mu Chen's strength was far too weak. His Spiritual Energy fluctuations were completely concealed by the terrifying battle between the two sides. Thus, when Mu Chen approached the sea of lightning, the Lightning Spirit was still unable to detect him.
Mu Chen also quietly heaved a sigh of relief.
Soon after, his eyes turned grave as he looked at the endless black lightning sea. Standing there, he was like a grain of sand in the sea, completely unremarkable.
The difference between their sizes made it extremely easy for one to feel a kind of fear.
Mu Chen tightly clenched his fists. His black pupils stared at the black lightning sea, before fiercely clenching his teeth.
With a flash of his figure, he turned into a streak of light and shot in.
Plop.
The black sea of lightning created a huge wave, and Mu Chen's figure had already disappeared.
As soon as Mu Chen charged into the sea of black lightning, he felt a chill run down his spine.
He could sense the lightning energy present within the sea. In fact, there were even quite a few bolts of Divine Black Lightning swimming within the sea.
Appearing like giant black dragons within the sea, they snaked around terrifyingly.
As soon as Mu Chen appeared, he immediately attracted a few bolts of Divine Black Lightning to swim over.
Clearly, they had sensed energy fluctuations that were different from theirs. Seeing this, Mu Chen hastily activated his Lightning God's Physique.
Upon seeing this, Mu Chen hastily revolved his Lightning God's Physique, causing faint rays of black lightning to surface on the surface of his body. At the same time, his middle finger had also turned jet-black, while fluctuations of lightning poison radiated from it, concealing his Spiritual Energy fluctuations.
As Mu Chen finished doing this, the bolts of Divine Black Lightning had already shot over. Swimming around Mu Chen's body, they appeared to be sensing something.
Not daring to make a single move, cold sweat surfaced on Mu Chen's forehead. In this place, as long as he was the slightest bit careless, he would be instantly turned into ashes by the bolts of Divine Black Lightning.
However, fortunately, his luck wasn't that bad. Indeed, the bald old man didn't use him as cannon fodder. After the Divine Black Lightning circled around him for a while, it flew far away. After all, it was just a bolt of lightning energy, and didn't possess any intelligence. Therefore, it was naturally impossible for it to distinguish Mu Chen.
Wiping away the cold sweat on his forehead, Mu Chen's figure moved, piercing through the lightning sea. Splitting apart the lightning liquid, he shot towards the bottom of the sea of lightning, which was jet-black to the point of causing one's heart to palpitate.
The lightning sea was exceedingly vast, and Mu Chen did not know the location of the Lightning God's Pill. However, such an item should be born in the place where the lightning energy was the densest. Obviously, the depths of the lightning sea was the best place to nurture the Lightning God's Pill.
However, despite knowing this point, wanting to search for a Lightning God's Pill within the boundless lightning sea was still not an easy task. Mu Chen did his best to search. However, after ten minutes, he was still unable to find anything.
Furthermore, as he went deeper and deeper into the lightning sea, the bolts of Divine Black Lightning he encountered became increasingly terrifying. Their sizes were approximately thousands of metres long, and from afar, they appeared just like ice-cold black dragons entrenched at the bottom of the sea, causing one's hair to stand on end.
As time flowed by, Mu Chen could not help but feel somewhat anxious. Although relying on the Lightning God's Physique and the concealment of the lightning poison, he was temporarily unharmed, this clearly could not last for long. Once half an hour was up, he would be unable to resist the corrosion of the lightning energy within the lightning sea. At that time, he might be instantly turned into ashes.
"I can't blindly grope for an elephant like this, if not, there simply won't be enough time."
Thoughts rapidly spun in Mu Chen's mind, as his gaze flickered. Only after quite a while did his eyes congeal, as an expression of deep thought surfaced within them. "Although the lightning energy within this lightning sea is frightening, it is filled with lightning sea, and will definitely contain some information. The Lightning God's Pill is the most basic item within this lightning sea, and the lightning energy rippling within this lightning sea will definitely sense it!"
This method of Mu Chen's was rather bold. Within this lightning sea, his strength was too weak, and any small mistake would be sufficient to destroy him a thousand times over. Originally, he should be avoiding the lightning energy that filled this lightning sea. However, at this moment, he was planning to take the initiative to obtain information from the lightning energy.
This was an extremely dangerous method, however, Mu Chen seemed to never lack such courage.
Mu Chen once again muttered to himself, before finally making his decision. If something truly went wrong, he would immediately turn around and leave. With the concealment of his Lightning God's Body and the lightning poison, he should be able to successfully leave. However, if that was the case, his mission would be considered as a failure.
However, at this moment, Mu Chen did not have any other paths he could take, and could only give it a try.
After making his decision, Mu Chen no longer hesitated. With a thought, the black lightning glow on his body weakened bit by bit. He did not dare to completely release it all at once, and could only use this probing method to slowly absorb the lightning energy within the lightning sea.
As the black lightning glow around Mu Chen's body gradually grew dim, he instantly felt the lightning energies in his surroundings, which were originally calm and tranquil, immediately flaring up. In fact, even some of the gigantic Divine Black Lightning in the distance seemed to have sensed it.
A wave of lightning energy made contact with Mu Chen's body, and directly invaded his body. Immediately, Mu Chen activated his Lightning God's Body, as lightning blossomed, once again concealing it.
The Divine Black Lightning, which had sensed something, came to a stop once again, slowly flowing as it turned silent.
Under the lightning glow, Mu Chen's body rapidly trembled. The lightning energy that had invaded his body clearly contained the power of the Divine Black Lightning, and was extremely formidable. Fortunately, he had already endured the bombardment of over a dozen bolts of Divine Black Lightning, and had finally gained a little bit of resistance. Therefore, after spending some time, the lightning energy that had invaded his body was refined and absorbed by him.
After the lightning energy was refined, a black lightning glow flashed within Mu Chen's eyes. Lowering his head, he looked towards a certain spot within the jet-black lightning sea, as joy surfaced within his eyes.
Indeed, he was able to sense some peculiar fluctuations from the lightning energy. The direction of those fluctuations was precisely the direction he was looking at.
The Lightning God's Pill was definitely there!
With a move of Mu Chen's figure, he was like a swimming fish as he sliced through the lightning sea, increasing his speed as he swiftly rushed towards that direction.
Mu Chen increased his speed, and within a short few minutes, he had arrived at the deepest part of the lightning sea. At this place, the color of the lightning sea grew increasingly serene, becoming jet-black like ink, and even a little viscous.
Lightning arcs danced within the sea, emitting destructive fluctuations that caused Mu Chen's scalp to turn slightly numb. This place was truly not a place that a little Heavenly Transformation stage like him should be at.
Lightning glinted within Mu Chen's eyes as he continuously swept his gaze across his surroundings. His gaze pierced through the black lightning liquid, searching for his target.
At this moment, more than half of the time had already passed. If Mu Chen did not hurry up, he might not be able to endure until he escaped from this lightning sea.
Cold sweat slid down his face, as Mu Chen's heartbeat accelerated, while a sliver of anxiousness appeared within his eyes.
"Oh?!"
Just as his heart was burning with anxiety, his eyes finally fiercely focused. His body hastily shot out, slicing through the lightning liquid. In the next moment, his palm seemed to touch a thin membrane like object.
With a faint thought, black lightning glints surged on his palm, wrapping around his body, and unexpectedly, slowly penetrated through that thin membrane.
When Mu Chen's body penetrated through that thin membrane, he immediately felt the black lightning liquid that was filled with destructive energy unexpectedly completely disappear at this moment. The surrounding lightning sea had also disappeared.
"This is …"
Mu Chen looked over in astonishment. This seemed to be an isolated space that stood at the bottom of the lightning sea.
Obviously, this place would only be used to hide the most important things.
Mu Chen's heartbeat increasingly accelerated, before looking towards the centermost position of this isolated space. His breathing abruptly froze at this moment, as an uncontrollable ecstasy surged onto his face.
Within his line of sight, within the pitch-black space, a black lotus approximately three metres in size floated. The lotus seemed to be in the shape of liquid, as it continuously flowed. At the center of the black lotus, was a black bead approximately the size of an infant's head that was slowly rotating.
An indescribable fluctuation radiated from within the bead, as if it was the birthplace of the lightning of the world.
Mu Chen's eyes blazed with passion.
He had finally found the Lightning God's Pill.
