Rumble!
Earth-shattering roars of thunder resounded across the Heavens and Earth. Within the Lightning Sea, thunderclouds crazily churned and churned. In the midair, green thunderbolts that were like giant dragons descended. Their might seemed as though they wanted to destroy this world.
Under the countless dumbfounded gazes, Mu Chen quietly sat down in the lightning ocean. The Spiritual Energy around him had been completely retracted into his body. His handsome face was exceptionally calm as he slightly raised his head. His black pupils reflected the azure lightning as a smear of untamed madness surged from the depths of his pupils.
"Since the Penta Rune Lightning Physique can't stop you, then I'll have to become even stronger!"
Mu Chen abruptly clenched his fist as his face turned firm. The Divine Wood Lightning Dipper was truly terrifying, but to Mu Chen, it was also an opportunity. The cultivation of the Lightning God's Physique couldn't be separated from the power of lightning. Regardless of what lightning it was, it was still the source of the Great Dao. Using that power to cultivate the Lightning God's Physique would allow him to achieve twice the result with half the effort. However, there was quite a bit of risk involved. After all, this power couldn't be controlled. If he lost control of it, he would probably suffer heavy injuries.
However, Mu Chen's path of cultivation wasn't smooth sailing, to begin with. If he didn't have the willpower to walk the path of an expert, he could only return to being ordinary in the end.
Therefore, it was impossible for Mu Chen to fear such a risk.
His eyes slowly closed at this moment as his hands formed the cultivation seals of the Lightning God's Physique. Within his body.
His Spiritual Energy also quietly surged as if he was facing a great enemy and was prepared for battle.
Boom!
Thunder rumbled.
In that instant, the green lightning that had streaked across the horizon had already descended at a shocking speed, before violently smashing against Mu Chen's body without the slightest bit of mercy.
Mu Chen's body violently trembled as if he had suffered a heavy blow. The surface of his body was lacerated and fresh blood instantly gushed out.
It seemed to have dyed half of his body. But even so, Mu Chen still had his eyes tightly shut.
Only the slight trembling of his body revealed the turmoil in his body.
Chi Chi.
Black and cyan lightning bolts flickered wildly on the surface of Mu Chen's body. The two lightning powers launched an offensive and defensive battle, neither giving way to the other.
Boom!
Boom!
Thunder roared incessantly.
Streaks of green lightning that looked like giant dragons.
They continued to descend and bombarded Mu Chen ruthlessly.
As the lightning crazily sparkled, the green light seemed to have completely engulfed Mu Chen's body.
The thunderclouds below, where Mu Chen was seated, were scattered. The space within a thousand feet around him showed signs of distortion due to the wild and violent impact.
This scene caused many people's scalps to go numb.
Luo Li's and Wen Qingxuan's faces turned grave at this moment.
Because the power of lightning was too violent, they could no longer sense Mu Chen's Spiritual Energy fluctuations.
Therefore, it was impossible to determine whether his current situation was good or bad.
"That fellow is too reckless."
Wen Qingxuan couldn't help saying. Although Mu Chen's strength seemed to be only at the Human Body Disaster, she knew that he had many means hidden up his sleeves. If he truly wanted to bring them all out, the Divine Wood Lightning Dipper wouldn't be able to make him look so miserable. But who knew that he would actually give up on those means and choose the stupidest method.
Luo Li's clear pupils stared at the place where the azure lightning spread out, but she did not speak. At this moment, she still believed in Mu Chen because the latter wasn't a reckless person. Since he had chosen to do this, then he would naturally have his reasons and confidence.
"Xue Tiandou has no problem relying on the Divine Wood Spiritual Bell."
Wen Qingxuan looked in another direction. Xue Tiandou stood in the sky with the azure bell hovering above his head, emitting a faint azure lustre. The Divine Wood Lightning Dipper that descended from the sky was received by the wooden bell. The wooden bell should be a Peerless Rank Spiritual Artifact, and it even had a restraining effect on the Divine Wood Lightning Dipper. Therefore, it shouldn't be a problem for Xue Tiandou to endure it.
Therefore, the contrast between the two of them was a little stark.
One was relaxed, while the other was badly mutilated.
"No one can say for sure until the end." Luo Li said softly.
Wen Qingxuan could only nod her head.
Similar conversations weren't only between the two of them. Practically everyone in this region was doing the same. After all, Mu Chen's miserable state was too different from Xue Tiandou's relaxed state.
Time slowly flowed amidst the whispers of the crowd.
The time for three incense sticks to burn was about to end.
Rumble!
Violent thunderous roars still resounded between the heavens and earth.
Xue Tiandou stood proudly in the sky with a hand behind his back. Scarlet Spiritual Energy endlessly surged from his body and poured into the wooden bell above him. When the Divine Wood Lightning Dipper struck against the wooden bell, it emitted a loud and clear sound. However, it couldn't harm his body, it only exhausted quite a bit of his Spiritual Energy.
But compared to Mu Chen, the exhaustion of his Spiritual Energy was clearly too easy.
Xue Tiandou's eyes were indifferent as he looked at the green lightning spreading in the distance. Vaguely, he could see that the figure was continuously trembling, as if he was forcefully enduring it. This caused a ridiculing smile to rise on the corner of his mouth. That fellow was truly courting death. Did he really think that he could withstand the Divine Wood Lightning Dipper with his powerful physical body?
The person that Luo Li liked was actually such a fool?
Xue Tiandou shook his head in pity as the sneer hanging on the corner of his lips grew denser.
Time slowly flowed and everyone could sense that the violent sea of lightning was gradually calming down. Clearly, this was the sign that the Divine Wood Lightning Dipper was coming to an end.
Boom!
When the final bolt of azure lightning whistled down, the thunderous roars that resounded between the heavens and earth had finally dissipated. The entire heavens and earth seemed to have become much quieter at this moment.
Xue Tiandou stood in the sky as he stretched his hand out. The wooden bell above his head was emitting an azure light as it swiftly shrunk, before returning to his hand. Casting a glance, the surface of the wooden bell seemed to have dimmed a little. Clearly, it had suffered some exhaustion.
"Looks like it's over."
Xue Tiandou faintly smiled as he cast a glance at the dazzling azure lightning in the distance. There wasn't any Spiritual Energy ripples coming from it.
Not only him, everyone on both sides of the lightning sea had their gazes fixed on the dazzling azure lightning. They also wanted to know how the figure in it looked like at this moment.
Under their attentive gazes, the green lightning gradually dissipated. As the lightning dissipated, a seated figure slowly appeared. In the end, it became completely clear.
Hiss.
When that figure became clear, everyone abruptly sucked in a mouthful of chilled air.
Wen Qingxuan and Luo Li's faces slightly changed.
That figure was quietly seated with a dark-red colour on his body. That's because the surface of his body was covered in a thick layer of blood. The blood had covered every inch of his body. The dark blood made others feel their scalps going numb. They could imagine how much pain Mu Chen had gone through to cause the layer of blood to turn into this colour.
"He can't be dead, right?"
Someone quietly said. That's because they couldn't sense any ripples coming from the blood. It was so much so that even breathing didn't seem to exist.
"Serves him right!"
Everyone from the Holy Spirit House and Academy Alliance had joy written on their faces as they clenched their teeth.
Wu Yingying tightly clenched her teeth. Her hand that was holding onto the hilt of her blade had turned a little pale from the force she used.
Xue Tiandou also stared at the bloody figure as he indifferently smiled. Shortly after, he shook his head and no longer paid any attention to him. He directly strode towards the side of the lightning sea. His steady footsteps had the bearing of a victor. He originally wanted to give Mu Chen a chance to compete with him, but who could have imagined that the latter wouldn't have such luck.
"Since he can't even pass this test, it saves me the trouble of having to take action." Xue Tiandou indifferently said.
He strode out.
Crack.
In that instant when he strode out, there seemed to be a shattering sound that resounded in this quiet region.
Xue Tiandou's footsteps abruptly came to a halt as he slowly tilted his head and stared at the unmoving bloody figure. In the next instant, his pupils abruptly shrunk. That's because he saw that there were actually tiny cracks quietly appearing on the bloody figure, before rapidly spreading out.
Crack. Crack.
The shattering sound became more and more frequent. It was so much so that even the people on both sides of the lightning sea could hear it. Instantly, their faces changed as they stared at the bloody figure. There were pieces of bloody shackles that were falling off.
As the layers of bloody shackles fell off, white skin appeared. The surface of the skin was flickering with a faint azure light that could be vaguely seen under the skin.
Layer after layer of bloody shackles swiftly fell off. In the end, there was nothing left.
As the bloody shackles fell off, Mu Chen's figure once again appeared in everyone's sight. He was still seated with his eyes closed. However, anyone could sense that his body seemed to be emitting a radiance at this moment. Vaguely, there was a faint thunderous roar that resounded from his body.
Xue Tiandou stared at him.
Mu Chen's eyes slightly trembled at this moment. In the end, he slowly opened his eyes under the numerous astonished gazes.
Boom!
When he opened his eyes, everyone could hear the thunderous roar that resounded between the heavens and earth. Azure and black lightning intertwined in his black pupils, making him look a little mysterious.
Many people held their breaths for a moment. The sneers on the faces of those from the Holy Spirit House and Academy Alliance also froze, bit by bit.
Mu Chen was actually still alive!
He had actually relied on his physical body to withstand the terrifying attack of the Divine Wood Lightning Dipper!
Xue Tiandou's face turned abnormally ugly at this moment.
As for Luo Li and Wen Qingxuan, there was a charming smile on their faces.
