Within the isolated space, Mu Chen was incomparably pleasantly surprised as he stared at the glossy, pitch-black pearl that resembled a black hole. From the fluctuations emitted by the latter, this was definitely his current target.
Lightning God Pill!
"I've finally found it."
Mu Chen suppressed the ecstasy in his heart. Maintaining his vigilance, he rapidly shot forward, before approaching the floating black lotus that resembled a black liquid.
As he approached, Mu Chen was able to discover that the black lotus seemed to be formed from black lightning liquid. Although it appeared to be liquid, it gave people a strange feeling of indestructibility. Furthermore, Mu Chen did not feel the slightest bit of berserk fluctuations from the condensed black lotus formed from lightning liquid.
This was completely different from the berserk lightning energy within the sea of lightning that seemed to be able to destroy the heavens and earth.
Mu Chen stared at the lightning liquid-like black lotus for a while, before turning towards the Lightning God Pill. This thing was his main target, and he needed to obtain it immediately. He did not have much time left.
Mu Chen extended his palm, as strands of black lightning radiated out. With a flick of his finger, the lightning radiance shot out. Akin to silk, it wrapped around the Lightning God Pill.
Due to Mu Chen's Lightning God Body having absorbed some of the Divine Black Lightning's energy, the Lightning God Pill unexpectedly did not show the slightest bit of resistance towards this energy that originated from the same source. It was directly and extremely easily absorbed by Mu Chen.
Seeing that everything was proceeding smoothly, Mu Chen breathed a sigh of relief. With a suction force from his palm, the Lightning God Pill wrapped in lightning radiance landed in his hand.
Bang!
However, just as the Lightning God Pill landed in his hand, the isolated space instantly started to tremble violently. As the space distorted, it unexpectedly showed signs of shattering.
Upon seeing this, Mu Chen's expression instantly changed. Keeping the Lightning God Pill, he immediately left. However, when his gaze swept towards the floating lightning liquid lotus, his expression faintly changed.
Although he did not know what use the Lightning Lotus Flower had, to be able to be born together with the Lightning God's Pill, it was definitely not an ordinary item. Since he had already come here, he might as well just leave. If not, when would he be able to encounter such an opportunity again?
Mu Chen's eyes flickered as he immediately took action. Lightning surged out from his palm once again as he kept the Lightning Lotus in his hand.
Whoosh!
After keeping the Lightning Lotus Flower, Mu Chen did not dare to stay any longer. He directly shot forward, shuttled through the almost collapsing isolated space, and appeared at the bottom of the serene lightning sea.
Chi Chi.
Black lightning enveloped Mu Chen's body, as he pushed his speed to the limit, madly rushing out of the sea of lightning.
Boom!
However, just as he increased his speed, in the sky above the sea of lightning, the Lightning Soul that was currently tangling with the Northern Sea Dragon suddenly erupted with an earth-shattering furious roar. As if it had gone berserk, countless black lightning bolts exploded, unexpectedly smashing apart the black waves that were endlessly surging over.
Upon seeing the Lightning Soul's sudden rampage, the Northern Sea Dragon was delighted. From the looks of it, Mu Chen should have found the Lightning God's Pill.
Boom!
Boom!
As the Lightning Soul roared, countless black lightning bolts shot out like giant dragons, rumbling towards the sea of lightning in an attempt to kill Mu Chen who had stolen the Lightning God's Pill.
However, the Northern Sea Dragon clearly would not allow it to kill Mu Chen. Opening its giant mouth, a black chilling current that was sufficient to freeze space swept out, completely freezing all of the lightning bolts.
Upon seeing the Northern Sea Dragon continuously obstructing it, the Lightning Soul was thoroughly enraged. Its gigantic body suddenly exploded, transforming into lightning liquid that blotted the skies. With a swoosh, it descended towards the sea of lightning. In the next instant, a gigantic black divine lightning approximately a thousand metres long abruptly tore apart the sea of lightning. With an indescribable speed, it descended towards a certain location within the sea of lightning.
As Mu Chen rapidly shot out from within the sea of lightning, a chilling sensation emerged from all over his body, as an indescribable feeling of death enveloped his heart.
Fiercely raising his head, he saw that the sea of lightning seemed to have been ripped apart, as a gigantic black divine lightning a thousand metres long pierced towards him like heavenly punishment. It directly sealed off the entire space around him, leaving him with nowhere to hide!
Mu Chen's face turned deathly pale. An attack of this degree was simply not something that he could evade or endure.
Faced against such an attack, he could only close his eyes and wait for death.
Bang!
However, just as Mu Chen was feeling helpless, the sea of lightning on the other side was forcefully ripped apart by a frightening force. In the next instant, a chilling black current whizzed over. Unexpectedly, it was one step ahead of the black divine lightning, enveloping Mu Chen within it.
Chi Chi.
The chilling black current transformed into a black ice mountain, while Mu Chen was sealed within its depths, surrounded by layers of protection.
Boom!
The black divine lightning ferociously smashed against the ice mountain, instantly causing the sea of lightning to erupt violently, sweeping up a thousand metres of lightning liquid. Gigantic cracks started to extend across the ice mountain. Nevertheless, it was still able to block the furious attack of the Lightning Soul.
Swish!
The ice mountain shot out, breaking through the sea of lightning in the blink of an eye, before appearing in this space.
The Northern Sea Dragon's gigantic body, which seemed to have no end in sight, rapidly shrunk, before transforming back into the appearance of a weak bald old man. Landing in front of Mu Chen, he tightly stared at the surging sea of lightning.
At that location, the Lightning Soul crazily roared. Sweeping up a thousand metres of lightning liquid, it attempted to launch another attack on the bald old man.
"Humph."
Upon seeing this, the bald old man gave a cold snort. His hands started to move, causing the space around the sea of lightning to suddenly warp and distort. A chilling black current gushed out, transforming into an incomparably gigantic black ice prison, directly sealing the sea of lightning within it.
Bang Bang!
Countless bolts of black lightning smashed against the ice prison, however, they were unable to break it. In the past, the bald old man was worried that the Lightning Soul would destroy the Lightning God's Pill in a life and death struggle, causing him to have some misgivings. However, once this misgivings disappeared, the Lightning Soul that did not possess much intelligence would naturally not be his match.
Only after trapping the Lightning Soul did the bald old man turn around. Grinning, he stared at Mu Chen, and even rubbed his fingers together. His current appearance completely lacked the demeanour of an expert that could cause the heavens to crumble and the earth to shatter with a wave of his hand.
Mu Chen unhappily rolled his eyes at the bald old man. However, he did not dawdle. With a clench of his hand, a black lightning glow appeared within it. Shortly after, the lightning glow dissipated, revealing a Lightning God's Pill that was the size of a human head.
On the surface of the Lightning God's Pill, one could faintly see countless tiny lightning vortexes. They continuously revolved, emitting low and deep thunder roars.
When the Lightning God's Pill was taken out, lightning started to form in its surroundings, causing it to be extremely mystical.
Looking at the Lightning God's Pill, the eyes of the bald old man instantly turned red. Grabbing at it, he allowed the black lightning to strike against his withered palm, while he did not move a single inch.
"The Lightning God's Pill!"
Emotions gushed out from the bald old man's eyes. For the sake of obtaining this Lightning God's Pill, he had prepared for hundreds of years. Today, his wish had finally been fulfilled.
With this Lightning God's Pill, he would be able to take that final step, break through the shackles of 9th Grade Sovereign, and become a genuine Earth Sovereign!
After being excited for quite a while, the bald old man finally calmed down a little. Keeping the Lightning God's Pill, he knew that breaking through the shackles was obviously not an easy task. Even if he had obtained the Lightning God's Pill, he would still need to make many preparations.
"Mu Chen, this time, this old man will owe you a favour." said the bald old man as he looked towards Mu Chen.
With a smile, Mu Chen replied, "Senior is too polite. I've already obtained enough benefits this time. I'm afraid that there's no need for this favour."
Indeed, not only had he obtained the complete version of the Lightning God's Physique, he had also obtained the Divine Black Lightning Poison Finger, as well as the Spiritual Light Empowerment that he was about to undergo. Such a harvest was already incomparably bountiful.
"Heh, your benefits are indeed not small." Shooting a look at Mu Chen, the bald old man said with a smile that had a deeper meaning behind it.
Seeing the bald old man's gaze, Mu Chen instantly gave an awkward smile. With a wave of his sleeve, the Lightning Liquid Black Lotus that he had obtained from the lightning sea appeared in front of him.
"Senior, this was found together with the Lightning God's Pill. However, I don't know what it is." said Mu Chen as he pointed towards the Lightning Liquid Black Lotus.
Staring at the Lightning Liquid Black Lotus, a flash of brilliance flashed within the eyes of the bald old man as he said with some astonishment, "This seems to be the Lightning God's Lotus, an extremely rare natural treasure. Similar to the Lightning God's Pill, there's only an extremely low chance of it being born within lightning. I never imagined that the Lightning God's Pill and Lightning God's Lotus would actually be born within this lightning sea."
"Lightning God's Lotus." Only now did Mu Chen understand what the Lightning Liquid Black Lotus was. From its name, it was obviously not an ordinary item.
"Since you're the one who found this Lightning God's Lotus, it belongs to you." said the bald old man as he waved his hand.
Mu Chen scratched his head, obviously not expecting the bald old man to be so generous. After all, this Lightning God's Lotus was not an ordinary item.
"Although the Lightning God's Lotus is rare, it doesn't have much of an effect on the current me."
Said the bald old man with a smile. "You can be considered lucky. This Lightning God's Lotus is extremely beneficial to the training of the Lightning God Body. In the future, when you train, you will be able to receive an endless stream of lightning energy while sitting on it. Using it to temper your physical body is extremely beneficial and will increase the progress of your Lightning God Body training."
Mu Chen was slightly delighted. This Lightning God's Lotus actually had such a miraculous effect?
He was just worrying that the Lightning God Body was too difficult to train. He never imagined that this Lightning God's Lotus would actually be able to resolve some of his problems.
"Many thanks, senior."
Mu Chen sincerely expressed his thanks. Although the matter this time was somewhat dangerous, the benefits he had obtained were more than enough to compensate for the dangers. He believed that if the bald old man spread the word, there would be countless people who would rush forward to help him with their lives on the line. However, it was a pity that there were not many people at this level who dared to use their bodies to endure the Divine Black Lightning and luckily survive.
If it wasn't for this, the Northern Sea Dragon wouldn't have come looking for him.
The bald old man shook his head. With a wave of his sleeve, he directly brought Mu Chen away from the final level of the Lightning Region, and arrived at a mountain peak in the ninth level of the Lightning Region.
The space here was no longer as oppressive. Although lightning rivers were floating everywhere, it was already many times better than the final level of the Lightning Region.
"Next."
With a faint smile, the bald old man looked towards Mu Chen.
"I'll fulfil my promise and help you with the Spiritual Light Empowerment."
