In the depths of the Demonic Lightning Abyss, above the pitch-black and bottomless sea of lightning
Mu Chen and Jiu You had grave expressions as they looked at the pitch-black sea of lightning. Although the sea of lightning was calm, the two of them could clearly sense the violence hidden under the calmness. No one knew what terrifying thing was hidden in the depths of the pitch-black bottomless sea.
"Let's go in and give it a try." Jiu You said. She clearly couldn't allow Mu Chen to enter such a dangerous place by himself.
Hearing her words, Mu Chen did not refute and gently nodded his head. Without any hesitation, his figure moved, turning into a streak of light as he shot towards the pitch-black sea of lightning. Behind him, Jiu You, who was enveloped in purple flames, closely followed.
Splash!
There seemed to be water splashing sounds resounding on the vast sea of lightning as the two of them charged into the sea of lightning one after another. Thereafter, their figures disappeared into the pitch-black darkness, as if they had been devoured by a huge mouth of darkness.
Rumble!
When the two of them entered the sea of lightning, the incomparably violent thunderous roars instantly brought along intense vibrations. The most formidable means of the Demonic Earth Lightning were the vibrations that could tear the earth apart.
Although Mu Chen and Jiu You had something to rely on, the Spiritual Energy defences that enveloped their bodies were still rippling from the vibrations.
Mu Chen swept his gaze around as the pitch-black colour filled his eyes. Due to the Demonic Earth Lightning, his Spiritual Energy perception was extremely limited. Trying to find the Nether Demon Heart Lightning in this place was akin to searching for a needle in a haystack.
But since they were already here, then no matter how difficult it was.
They still had to give it a try.
With this thought in mind, Mu Chen and Jiu You started to head towards the depths of the sea of lightning.
Logically speaking, the Nether Demon Heart Lightning was of a higher grade than the Demonic Earth Lightning. If it was formed, it would definitely be at the place where the Demonic Earth Lightning gathered.
Rumble!
Violent thunderous roars constantly resounded in the sea of lightning as Mu Chen and Jiu You swiftly streaked across. Spiritual Energy light surged around them, becoming the bottom of the dark sea of lightning.
The only light.
As the two of them continued to venture deeper, they began to feel the shockwaves surging over from their surroundings becoming increasingly intense, causing them to have no choice but to slow down.
However, as time passed, they still did not sense the slightest fluctuation belonging to the Nether Demon Heart Thunder.
As they slowed down, the two looked at each other and sighed softly.
It looked like it was as they had expected. Wanting to find the Nether Demon Heart Lightning in this sea of lightning was an extremely difficult matter. No wonder the Demonic Lightning Sect had not succeeded after so many years.
"This Demonic Lightning Abyss leads to the depths of the earth. The deeper you go, the more violent the power of lightning becomes.
At that time, even we might not be able to withstand it, "Jiu You said with a solemn expression.
Mu Chen nodded lightly. He also understood that with this kind of stupid method, they would not be able to find the Nether Demon Heart Thunder even if they searched for a year or two.
But other than that …
What more effective method could there be?
"The Demonic Earth Lightning here interferes with our spiritual energy perception. There's no way to probe at all." Jiu You said helplessly. "Unless we can block off the interference of the Demonic Earth Lightning.
Then, it will be more convenient for us to search. "
However, Nine Nether was just casually saying those words. The Demonic Earth Lightning was incomparably berserk and filled with offensive properties. Furthermore, it was extremely repelling towards other foreign objects. It was likely impossible for them to block it with their current strength.
Hearing her words, Mu Chen knitted his brows. Indeed, it was as Jiu You had said. If they wanted to find the Nether Demon Heart Lightning in this place, there was only one method, and that was to use the Demonic Earth Lightning as a medium. However … would the Demonic Earth Lightning, which was filled with offensive properties, be willing to be used?
There was no need to think about it to know the answer.
Seeing how Mu Chen was in deep thoughts, Jiu You did not disturb him. At this moment, there was nothing she could do.
Mu Chen pondered for a brief moment, before saying, "I'll try using the Lightning God's Physique."
As he spoke, the Spiritual Energy barrier around him instantly dissipated. Shortly after, when the Demonic Earth Lightning pounced over, his body swiftly turned into lightning as dazzling lightning surged onto his body.
Boom!
Boom!
However, this time, Mu Chen's plan failed. That was because the Demonic Earth Lightning did not show any gentleness just because of the lightning energy radiating from his body. The violently vibrating Demonic Earth Lightning heavily smashed against his body. Even with the strength of his current physical body, the vibrating force caused the blood in his body to churn.
Seeing this, Jiu You hurriedly activated the Undying Flame to protect Mu Chen. Frowning her eyebrows, she said, "That won't do. Although you've cultivated the Lightning God's Physique, it doesn't mean that you're immune to all lightning energy."
There were all sorts of lightning energies in this world. Furthermore, all of them had different attributes. Clearly, it was impossible for Mu Chen to be immune to the damage from the lightning energy with his Lightning God's Physique.
Mu Chen laughed bitterly. Originally, he had thought that he would be able to reduce the offensive properties of the Demonic Earth Lightning by a little with his Lightning God's Physique. However, from the looks of it, he was still indulging in fantasy.
"Even the Lightning God's Physique is useless …"
Mu Chen muttered to himself. His brows were tightly knitted together. A moment later, a thought suddenly passed through his mind. He recalled a divine technique that he had once practiced, but had rarely used …
Lightning Controlling Technique.
This was also a divine technique that the Northern Sea Dragon had taught him back at Hokuang Reiwon. However, this divine technique was a little unique. It was said that it was able to communicate with the lightning energy in this world, and draw lightning from the sky. However, this divine technique had many restrictions in battle. Therefore, Mu Chen rarely used it. However, it had solved his urgent problem.
"Let me try again."
Mu Chen spoke to Jiu You. After which, he sat down and shut both of his eyes. Both of his hands swiftly formed a mysterious seal. After which, they stilled, appearing just like an old monk in meditation.
As Mu Chen's heart gradually calmed down, his thoughts quietly spread. After which, he carefully made contact with the Demonic Earth Lightning that was everywhere.
A mysterious ripple spread from within Mu Chen's mind. It was the Lightning Controlling Technique.
The ripple spread in circles. After which, a surprising scene gradually appeared. One could see that the Demonic Earth Lightning, which was originally violently rippling around the Mu Chen duo, had actually calmed down a little at this moment.
Jiu You's pretty eyes were also startled as she watched this scene.
This fellow had actually succeeded?
Mu Chen's tightly shut eyes slowly opened at this moment. His eyes were also filled with joy. The mysteriousness of the Lightning Controlling Technique had exceeded his expectations. Although it was impossible for him to control the Demonic Earth Lightning in this place so quickly, he was able to establish some initial communication with it. At the very least, the Demonic Earth Lightning no longer rejected him and attacked him wildly.
Subsequently, he only needed to use the Demonic Earth Lightning as a medium. With his thoughts, he would be able to search this frightening sea of lightning at a speed that an ordinary person could not imagine.
Mu Chen once again shut his eyes. His thoughts quietly adhered to the many Demonic Earth Lightning. After which, it began to spread at a shocking speed …
Jiu You stood beside Mu Chen and protected him. Although it was impossible to see the spread of his thoughts, she could sense something sweeping out from the depths of this sea of lightning like a ray of light.
Thunder roared continuously wherever his thoughts passed. Fortunately, with the help of the Lightning Controlling Technique, these Demonic Earth Lightning did not attack Mu Chen's thoughts. Otherwise, with his weak thoughts, it would have long since been completely destroyed by the wild and violent Demonic Earth Lightning.
Countless images were constantly being fed back into Mu Chen's mind. However, it was still pitch-black and there weren't any peculiar ripples coming from it. However, Mu Chen wasn't in a rush as he condensed his intent and continued searching …
Time slowly flowed by as he searched.
This kind of search was dull and boring. However, Mu Chen did not dare to relax even a little. He carefully distinguished the slight ripples that were transmitted over in an attempt to find the target that was hidden in a certain part of the sea of lightning …
However, the result was still fruitless.
One day … two days … four days …
Day after day passed. In the blink of an eye, four days had already passed. During these four days, Mu Chen's body was like a rock that did not move at all. Both of his tightly shut eyes had not been opened at all.
Jiu You had also quietly guarded his side for four days. However, with the flow of time, her jadelike hands quietly tightened. Could it be that even so, he was still unable to find the Nether Demon Heart Lightning?
She tilted her head slightly and looked at the tensed handsome face of the young man. That face had already gradually lost its initial tenderness, and gradually possessed some determined lines. Those tightly pursed lips were just like him, stubborn and persistent.
"Ugh."
Jiu You let out a soft sigh.
Her sigh landed in Mu Chen's ears, causing the latter's body to violently tremble. At this moment, a wild joy suddenly surged on his tensed face.
That's because he had finally sensed some unusual ripples as his mind extended. Furthermore, he could sense that even the Demon Earth Lightning did not dare to recklessly approach from that direction, as if it was afraid of it.
Rumble!
However, while Mu Chen was coveting that mysterious region, there seemed to be a ghostly howl of thunder suddenly resounding within his heart. Mu Chen's body trembled as his face turned pale. All of his thoughts had completely shattered at this moment.
However, at the very last moment before his will crumbled, he vaguely saw a broken stone tablet faintly discernible within the darkness...
Mu Chen abruptly opened his eyes at this moment as cold sweat rolled down his forehead. He held onto his chest as distracting thoughts violently surged in his mind like a fountain. It was so much so that even the Spiritual Energy in his body showed signs of going out of control.
A cold jade-like hand was placed on his back at this time. Warm spirit power quickly poured in and suppressed the spirit power that was out of control in his body.
"How is it?" Jiu You anxiously asked.
Mu Chen panted for two breaths as he turned his head to look at Jiu You's bright and beautiful face, which was filled with worry. His mouth parted into a smile that was filled with joy.
"I've found it!"
