Crack.
A shattering sound that was so faint that it was almost inaudible rang out within the sea of lightning, causing it to be almost undetectable. However, at the instant this sound quietly rang out, the Northern Sea Dragon's expression turned grave, while his body seemed to have tensed up in this instant. His gaze pierced through the layers of lightning, as he tightly stared at the skinny figure.
Bang!
A vast and berserk fluctuation suddenly erupted from that spot like a volcano. The youth's body was covered in blood tattoos. Black lightning radiated from the blood tattoos and spread throughout his body. An abnormally powerful lightning fluctuation continuously seeped out from those blood tattoos.
His body seemed as if it was about to shatter at this moment.
Whoosh!
Mu Chen's eyes abruptly snapped open at this moment. Forming a seal with both of his hands, a fierce roar rang out like a clap of thunder. The surrounding lightning liquid was forcefully ripped apart by his roar, forming a thousand metre wide vacuum zone, causing it to no longer be able to approach Mu Chen.
Black lightning arcs crazily leapt about on the surface of his body. As these lightning arcs converged, they seemed to transform into a gigantic lightning storm behind him.
"Is the Divine Black Lightning energy accumulated in his body too strong?"
The Northern Sea Dragon closely observed this scene. From the looks of it, Mu Chen's body was already somewhat unable to endure the frightening energy that he had accumulated in his body. If he continued to forcefully endure it, his body might end up collapsing.
At this moment, Mu Chen was clearly aware of his body's situation, as a solemn expression immediately appeared on his face.
His hand seals rapidly changed, while black lightning faintly surged out from under his skin.
Two lightning runes condensed and appeared on his chest. At this moment, lightning started to crackle and condense on the two lightning runes, showing signs of condensing into a lightning rune.
Obviously, Mu Chen was attempting to make a breakthrough!
Chi Chi!
Increasingly berserk black lightning arcs continuously gushed out from Mu Chen's body.
From afar, it seemed as if his entire body was wrapped within lightning arcs, while those lightning arcs crazily flickered.
In the end, they transformed into lightning arcs, tunnelling into the third lightning rune on Mu Chen's chest.
Following the influx of the Divine Black Lightning energy, the third lightning rune started to take shape bit by bit.
As the Thunder Mark gradually took shape.
Mu Chen's skin also gradually turned pitch-black.
It gave off a cold and hard feeling, as though nothing in the world could destroy it. Within the coldness, there was an indescribable tyranny.
At the same time, Mu Chen's body had also grown a little taller.
The formation of the third lightning rune was not too difficult. The Divine Black Lightning energy that Mu Chen had accumulated for an entire three months was finally put to use at this moment. That energy seemed to be endlessly gushing out.
It caused the lightning rune to become even more lifelike.
It was like a real lightning mark.
This formation lasted for roughly ten minutes. When the final black lightning arc on the surface of Mu Chen's body disappeared, the third lightning rune on Mu Chen's chest had already truly condensed and formed. At the instant it took shape, the blood runes on the surface of Mu Chen's body instantly disappeared. Dark light gushed out, while incomparably tyrannical energy fluctuations rippled out.
Although Mu Chen was quietly sitting there without moving, he still gave off a feeling that he could split the heavens and earth apart with a raise of his hand.
"Tri-Rune Lightning Body?"
The Northern Sea Dragon's eyes faintly narrowed. Being able to achieve such a level of improvement in the span of three months was, in fact, already pretty good. His previous words of helping Mu Chen reach the quadruple Rune Lightning Body within half a year were somewhat of an exaggeration. After all, he was extremely clear about the difficulty of cultivating the Lightning God Body. Forging one's body was already extremely difficult, let alone an extraordinary Lightning God Body Divine Art.
"Oh?"
Just as this thought flashed through the Northern Sea Dragon's mind, his expression suddenly changed, because he discovered that even after the third lightning rune had condensed and formed, Mu Chen still showed no signs of stopping. The youth tightly pursed his lips, while some messy stubble had already appeared on his handsome face due to the three months of bitter training. However, this caused him to appear exceedingly firm and unswerving. Clasping his hands together, his hand seals changed once again, unexpectedly forming the seals of the Lightning God Body.
"Hah!"
A low roar rang out from his mouth once again, as the lightning storm behind him extended out, unexpectedly enveloping his entire body. Gigantic bolts of lightning howled as they endlessly smashed into Mu Chen's body.
As the bolts of lightning smashed down, specks of light unexpectedly started to condense on the third lightning rune on Mu Chen's chest!
He actually wanted to condense the fourth lightning rune in a spurt of energy!
"So that's what he's planning?" muttered the Northern Sea Dragon to himself.
Rumble!
The black lightning storm crazily revolved around Mu Chen's body. At the same time, it continuously sucked in the Divine Black Lightning energy within the sea of lightning, before finally pouring it into Mu Chen's body. This pouring was rather tyrannical. If not for the fact that Mu Chen had crazily endured the lightning strikes for the past three months, he might not have dared to accept this pouring in. However, despite this, he still felt as if his body was about to melt, while scorching intense pain threatened to tear him apart.
However, at this moment, he could only clench his teeth and endure.
More and more Divine Black Lightning energy howled over. However, condensing and forming the fourth lightning rune was clearly a hundred times more difficult than the third. Even with the boundless Divine Black Lightning energy gushing over, it was only able to unfold less than half of the lightning rune. As for completely condensing and forming it, it was still quite a bit away.
This result caused a scorching shade to flash across Mu Chen's eyes. He never imagined that even after three months of accumulation, he was still unable to completely condense and form the fourth lightning rune. This Lightning God Body was indeed difficult to cultivate.
"You're truly a reckless brat."
The Northern Sea Dragon helplessly shook his head and said, "I'll help you to the end. Seeing that your mother has helped our Hokuang Reiwon, this old man will help you one more time."
As his voice rang out, he flicked his finger, only for the lightning spirit within the depths of the sea of lightning to suddenly roar out. It seemed to have received some sort of order, yet was extremely unwilling to do so. Immediately, it started to struggle in an attempt to break free from its control.
"Humph."
A cold snort rang out from the Northern Sea Dragon. Suddenly, black feathers started to grow on the gigantic body of the Lightning Soul. Those feathers dug deep into its body, appearing as though they had taken root. Black light gushed out, causing it to unleash a furious roar that shook the heavens, as though it was in extreme pain.
After struggling for quite a while, it finally gradually became obedient. With a roar, a speck of black lightning flew out from its head. That speck of lightning appeared to be a drop of liquid, yet it appeared to be a world of lightning within it. Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled, appearing exceedingly peculiar.
Whoosh!
That drop of black lightning liquid rapidly shot across the sea of lightning, before finally passing through the lightning storm surrounding Mu Chen's body, before shooting straight into the space between Mu Chen's eyebrows.
Mu Chen's body suddenly turned stiff, as black lightning light extended out at an astonishing speed from the space between his eyebrows. In the blink of an eye, it had covered his entire body. From afar, it appeared as if he was being entangled by black vines, causing him to appear exceedingly strange.
Bang!
Bang!
All of a sudden, the surface of Mu Chen's body exploded apart, as clumps of bloody mist rose. At this moment, his face had also started to contort, clearly showing that he was enduring an extremely great pain.
As the bloody mist rose from the surface of his body, the lightning light that had spread across his body started to crazily shrink towards the fourth lightning rune on his chest. The lightning light seemed to contain the extremely astonishing power of the Divine Black Lightning, as the lightning rune that was extremely hard to condense unexpectedly started to rapidly extend at this moment.
Mu Chen's body continued to explode apart, as more and more bloody mist pervaded the air. In the end, it transformed into a thick layer of blood, tightly wrapping around Mu Chen's entire body.
Unknowingly, the lightning storm outside had unexpectedly started to dissipate bit by bit.
Mu Chen quietly sat within the sea of lightning. The lightning liquid was unable to approach within a dozen feet of him, while his aura appeared to have become exceedingly weak, without the slightest bit of movement.
With his hands behind his back, the Northern Sea Dragon quietly watched on, not showing any signs of taking action. Instead, he continued to wait.
Just like that, five days passed.
During these five days, the layer of blood wrapping around Mu Chen did not show any signs of movement, while the body within it also did not show any signs of movement. From the looks of it, it appeared as if it had lost all of its life force.
However, the Northern Sea Dragon still did not take action. His eyes faintly drooped down, before suddenly twitching in a certain instant.
Chi.
Within the sea of lightning, a piece of blood seemed to stealthily slide off. However, like a chain reaction, the pieces of blood rapidly fell off, before transforming into powder that drifted away.
As the blood fell off, a tall and slender figure appeared. As the youth opened his eyes, black lightning light sparkled within his black pupils, appearing exceedingly fierce, causing people to not dare to look straight at him.
He slowly stood up, his black hair fluttering in the wind. Lowering his head, four lightning runes faintly sparkled on his chest. The vivid and lifelike lightning runes appeared akin to the most perfect lightning arcs between the heavens and earth, radiating with a feeling of flawless power, akin to the might of the heavens and earth.
Four lightning runes.
Quadruple Rune Lightning Physique!
Looking at the four lightning runes, Mu Chen slowly clenched his fists, while the power surging like floodwaters within his body endlessly gushed out. This was an unprecedented feeling of power. The current Mu Chen had absolute confidence that just by relying on this physique, he would dare to clash head-on against experts that had passed their Human Body Disaster!
That kind of power was really intoxicating.
Ah!
The corners of Mu Chen's mouth curled upwards. In the next moment, he finally could not help but spread his arms apart, raising his head and roaring towards the sky. His roar was akin to thunder, causing giant waves that blotted the skies to surge within the sea of lightning. Lightning crazily howled as they converged behind the youth's back. At this moment, he appeared just like a god of lightning that had descended!
Three months of bitter training had finally paid off!
