The Great Ruler - Chapter540

Rumble!

Violent roars of thunder resounded from the green lightning sea as it resounded in this region, causing one's heart to palpitate.

On both sides of the sea of lightning, everyone raised their heads and looked towards the depths of the sea of lightning. At the depths of the sea of lightning, there were two figures standing in the distance. As the green lightning surged, the two figures appeared exceptionally frail, as though they would be submerged within the berserk sea of lightning in the next instant.

Luo Li and Wen Qingxuan exchanged a glance with a grave expression. From the lightning sea before them, even they could sense some dangerous fluctuations. Previously, they could easily endure for an incense stick's time. But if they were to enter it again, it would definitely not be as easy as before.

"Looks like the Divine Wood Palace is testing the so-called successor." Wen Qingxuan said in a soft voice.

The so-called successor status of Mu Chen and the rest did not bring any benefits to them. Instead, it brought them quite a bit of trouble. Everyone could tell that if it wasn't for Mu Chen and Xue Tian obtaining the so-called successor status, they would have already easily passed through this test.

Luo Li lightly nodded his head and said, "Since they are successors, they naturally cannot be mediocre people. It is reasonable for the Divine Wood Palace to leave such a test. After all, they do not wish for the inheritance of the Divine Wood Palace to fall into the hands of some useless people."

"Next, let's see how they will break through this situation." Wen Qingxuan slowly said.

Boom!

The roar of thunder still resounded as Mu Chen stood in the lightning sea. His face was also covered with a grave expression. He could sense the berserk nature of the lightning sea. Beneath the clouds, the green lightning was slowly wiggling. It was like a huge green dragon was twisting its massive body as it unleashed a frightening power.

Huff.

Mu Chen deeply inhaled a mouthful of air as he clenched his fists.

His gaze was exceptionally sharp.

Boom!

The lightning sea that had been brewing for a long time finally exploded in the next instant. Everyone could only see green light appearing in the sky as the clouds were abruptly torn apart. A green lightning that was roughly a hundred feet in size swept out like a huge dragon.

He headed straight for Mu Chen.

That green thunderbolt didn't look like lightning on the surface.

Instead, it was the bark of an old tree that was covered with ancient tree lines. It did not appear to be very wild and violent, but only those who were locked onto by it would be able to feel the pressure that caused one's scalp to turn numb.

Black lightning frantically flickered on the surface of Mu Chen's body. His skin seemed to have turned a little darker, while a metallic luster flowed on the surface of his skin.

Evidently, Mu Chen had already pushed his Lightning God's Physique to its limits.

Boom!

That dragon-like thunderbolt ruthlessly smashed against Mu Chen's body. Black and green lightning frantically collided. The incomparably violent energy even caused the surrounding space to tremble.

They were so shaken that they started to distort.

Bang!

Mu Chen's figure miserably flew back as his feet heavily stomped on the air. Only after taking over a hundred steps did he manage to stabilize himself. However, the clothes on his upper body had already been reduced to ashes. On his chest, there were five lightning runes flickering with brilliance.

His shoulder was covered in fresh blood.

A low commotion rang out from both sides of the lightning sea. Even a pinnacle Spiritual Energy expert would be heavily injured by that green thunderbolt. They never expected that Mu Chen would be able to withstand it. Wasn't that fellow's physical body a little too powerful?

"Hmph, you're courting death. You're already in such a sorry state from the first Divine Wood Lightning Dipper. I'll see how you're going to endure for the next nine incense sticks of time!" When Wang Zhong saw this scene, a ridiculing smile rose on the corner of his lips.

Cuttlefish, Qin Feng and the rest of the Academy Alliance also had a sneer on their faces.

Wu Yingying's pretty eyes stared at the figure within the sea of lightning. Her pretty face was still completely icy cold. However, her hand, which was holding onto the crescent blade, had unknowingly tightened its grip a little.

Rumble!

Another thunderous roar resounded. However, it wasn't from Mu Chen's side, but Xue Tiandou's. At this moment, the latter's face was a little grave as he formed seals with both of his hands. Boundless scarlet Spiritual Energy swept out like a blood river that revolved around his body and blocked the green thunderbolt.

When the scarlet Spiritual Energy exploded, Xue Tiandou was also forced back with a smear of blood appearing on his palm. However, it was swiftly wiped off by him. He cast a glance at Mu Chen's side as a sneer rose on the corner of his lips. At the very least, he was much more relaxed compared to Mu Chen. If this carried on, the gap between him and Mu Chen would be revealed. At that time, he would see if Mu Chen still had the ability to boast in front of him.

The first lightning attack was clearly just a prelude. The sea of lightning was only silent for an instant, before everyone was shocked to see a green light sweeping out. Huge green lightning bolts endlessly charged out from the sea of lightning, hiding the skies and covering the earth as they charged towards Mu Chen and Xue Tiandou.

Compared to this, the previous attacks simply paled in comparison!

Clearly, the sea of lightning had finally unleashed its full power.

When Mu Chen saw this scene, his face couldn't help changing as he stomped his feet. Boundless black and white Spiritual Energy swept out and formed into a waterfall that clashed against the incoming Divine Wood Lightning Dipper.

At this moment, he was also forced to use his Spiritual Energy to obstruct them.

Xue Tiandou's surroundings were also covered in a sea of blood as a powerful Spiritual Energy swept out. The Spiritual Energy that he had cultivated was filled with a bloody stench, which made it look exceptionally cold and sharp. The blood river revolved around him as it overlapped with each other, allowing the green thunderbolts to ruthlessly attack him.

Boom!

Boom!

The entire sea of lightning seemed to have erupted at this moment. Streaks of green lightning streaked across the horizon as they ruthlessly smashed against the two sources.

The repercussions of the collision even tore a layer of the lightning sea down below.

Countless people felt their hearts palpitating as they watched this scene. Even if it was an expert at the pinnacle of Spiritual Energy Disaster, not even his bones would be left.

Rumble!

The loud noises continued and in the blink of an eye, four incense sticks of time had passed. However, as time passed, everyone could sense that the attacks of the Divine Wood Lightning Dipper in the lightning sea were becoming more and more violent.

Luo Li and Wen Qingxuan couldn't help clenching their jade-like hands.

Boom!

Another dragon-like thunderbolt tore apart the defence formed by black and white Spiritual Energy and heavily slammed against Mu Chen's body. A groan came from his throat as his figure staggered back. A large portion of his body was charred black.

Boom!

On the other side, Xue Tiandou was also forced back. His sleeves were torn apart as fresh blood flowed down from his shoulder. The Spiritual Energy ripples around him had become a little chaotic.

At this moment, seven incense sticks of time had passed.

But everyone knew that the next three incense sticks of time would be the most unbearable.

The sea of lightning was surging, and the green light that was being emitted from the sea of lightning had already become extremely glaring.

"Haha."

However, facing this scene, Xue Tiandou laughed as he looked at Mu Chen in the distance with a playful gaze and chuckled, "If you retreat now, I'm afraid that you can still keep your life."

Mu Chen cast an indifferent glance at him and paid no attention to him.

Everyone outside the lightning sea looked at Xue Tiandou in astonishment. Wasn't he worried?

Boom!

While they were feeling puzzled, the lightning sea had completely exploded. The layers of lightning sea seemed to have split apart as a dazzling green light soared into the sky like a pillar of light, before diving down. As the green light spread out, it turned into lightning. It was like the descent of a divine tree that wanted to pierce through the heavens and earth.

"Haha."

Xue Tiandou looked at the frightening attack that was enveloping him as he laughed. Thereafter, he clenched his hand. Green light flickered in his hand as a simple and unadorned green wooden bell appeared in his hand. Although the wooden bell wasn't outstanding, everyone could sense a peculiar energy being emitted from it.

"This Wood Spiritual Bell is something that I obtained from the Divine Wood Palace. It can counter the Divine Wood Lightning Dipper. I initially did not want to use it, but looking at the situation, I can't recklessly show off."

Xue Tiandou smiled with his eyes narrowed as he looked at Mu Chen. Shortly after, he flicked his finger and the Wood Spiritual Bell instantly expanded, becoming a hundred feet in size as it hovered above Xue Tiandou's head.

Boom!

Boom!

The Divine Wood Lightning Dipper whistled as it heavily clashed against the Green Spiritual Bell, causing an earth-shattering explosion. But no matter how the divine lightning attacked, it couldn't break through the Green Spiritual Bell.

Outside the lightning sea, countless people had envious gazes. No wonder Xue Tiandou wasn't afraid, he actually possessed such a treasure.

"Xue Tiandou has the protection of a Spiritual Treasure, what about Mu Chen?"

Some people looked at Mu Chen. Judging from the current situation, it wouldn't be difficult for Xue Tiandou to endure through the last three incense sticks of time. But what about Mu Chen?

Under the numerous gazes, Mu Chen's handsome face was still calm as he raised his head to look at the descending divine lightning. Shortly after, he deeply inhaled a mouthful of air as a brilliant light flickered in his black pupils, which made him look extremely prideful and untamed.

"It won't be so easy to kill me, Mu Chen!"

With a wave of Mu Chen's sleeve, the boundless Spiritual Energy that permeated around him had actually completely disappeared at this moment.

His actions had caused the people in the lightning sea to widen their mouths. That fellow still dared to withdraw his Spiritual Energy at this moment?

However, Mu Chen wasn't bothered about those gazes. Not only did he withdraw his Spiritual Energy, he even sat down in the sky and formed seals with both of his hands. Black lightning violently flickered on the surface of his body as veins wriggled under his skin like dragons, emitting astonishing power.

He was actually intending to rely on his physical body to withstand the violent Divine Wood Lightning Dipper!

"Is that fellow really courting death?"

Innumerable people were dumbfounded at this moment.

(It's midnight again. What a pain in the ass. I wonder when I can go back to normal ~ ~ ~ ~)
