Well, the reason Ye Chen came to Dragon Island this time wasn't to call for reinforcements.
His destination remained the mysterious Void Thunder Pool...
Previously, his strength had made a significant breakthrough in the Void Thunder Pool, but at that time he still hadn't truly reached the deepest part of the Thunder Pool.
This time, not only is he stronger, but he also has the protection of a fire spirit like the Pure Lotus Demon Flame, so he should be able to gain even more...
"Big brother, do you think I can cultivate using that Void Thunder Pool?" Zi Yan, who insisted on coming along, asked curiously.
Ye Chen frowned; it was really hard to say about this.
Although Zi Yan has always been said to be able to digest anything, she is still a living being after all, and the Ancient Void Dragon is not a magical beast with lightning as its bloodline talent, so things like absorbing lightning to advance in rank are probably not possible...
However, there is a solution.
If I were to pass on the cultivation method of the Thunder God Body to Zi Yan, with her terrifying Supreme Dragon-Phoenix Body, I wonder if she could cultivate the Thunder God Body to perfection in a short time?
Ye Chen's eyes lit up; he felt this idea was very feasible...
"Zi Yan, I will pass on to you a cultivation secret technique, a divine art that uses lightning to temper the body. Try cultivating it after you enter the Void Lightning Pool!" Ye Chen said quickly.
Without hesitation, he pointed out and directly transmitted his Nine Revolutions Thunder God Secret Technique and his Thunder God Body, which he had not yet fully refined, to Zi Yan through soul transfer.
"Hmm... Thunder God Body? Divine Arts? What are these things..." Zi Yan felt a lot of things being stuffed into her mind, making her shake her head uncomfortably.
However, after reviewing this information, he immediately raised his own questions.
Chapter 515 Zi Yan and Divine Arts
Zi Yan's doubts weren't due to her ignorance, but rather because the Thunder God Body, which Ye Chen named the Body Tempering Divine Technique, couldn't strictly be considered a popular cultivation technique or fighting skill on the Dou Qi Continent.
This was developed by him based on the spiritual techniques and divine arts from the vast world he had seen in his memory. Its cultivation and effects are quite different from the cultivation methods and fighting skills on the Dou Qi Continent.
To put it simply, the complete version of the Thunder God Body can even surpass the limit of the advanced Heaven Rank, but there is a huge limitation: to cultivate it, one can only do so in special places like the Void Thunder Pool, which possesses terrifying thunder power...
As for the Dou Qi techniques on the Dou Qi Continent, or even the natural energy of the continent, they cannot play a tempering role!
"No wonder you always like to run to this Void Thunder Pool, so that's why..." Zi Yan thought of Ye Chen's repeated visits to the Void Thunder Pool and suddenly thought she had grasped the truth of the matter.
Ye Chen simply smiled and offered no explanation.
Upon arriving at the Void Thunder Pool, the two did not linger and immediately entered...
However, Ye Chen's speed was not fast this time. He waited for Zi Yan for a while and then watched her attract the lightning in the lightning pool at an incredible speed, and then began to rapidly temper her body.
At this moment, from a distance, Zi Yan looked like a lightning rod, with lightning from all directions converging and continuously bombarding her body, emitting a blinding white light.
This scene made Ye Chen's lips twitch. He sighed and thought, "As expected of Zi Yan, she always manages to create some big scenes!"
One day, two days... three days later, Zi Yan, who was like a light bulb, finally stopped.
To Ye Chen's surprise, in just three days, this girl had actually cultivated the Thunder God Body, and judging from the clear thunder pattern on her forehead, she had clearly entered the realm of the First Thunder God Body...
"You're really something, girl..." Even Ye Chen, who had a cheat code, had to admit that she was amazing.
"Hehe..." Zi Yan grinned, instantly dispelling any trace of the noble air that belonged to an empress.
"Alright, alright, since that's the case, let's continue deeper. Relying solely on these outer lightning bolts won't allow you to quickly improve your Thunder God Body's level..."
Continuing deeper, the two soon arrived at the border of the Black Thunder.
Ye Chen was initially worried that the sudden transition to Black Demon Lightning might be too much for Zi Yan to handle, but when he turned around, he saw the girl already holding out her little hand with a curious expression towards a bolt of black lightning...
Zizi!
After a hissing sound, the black lightning struck Zi Yan instantly.
Then Ye Chen saw that the girl only trembled slightly, her hair stood on end a little, and then nothing happened...
"Damn! It can even withstand the Black Demon Lightning so easily, this Supreme Dragon Phoenix Body is too abnormal!" Ye Chen couldn't help but complain in his heart.
He originally thought his physique was already abnormal, but compared to Zi Yan, he was actually quite normal...
Since that was the case, Ye Chen stopped worrying and directly pulled Zi Yan, who wanted to play a little longer, into the Black Demon Lightning area.
Boom!
A bolt of dark lightning that had been hovering above their heads was drawn over and then absorbed by the two of them...
& nb
This directly detonated the entire Black Demon Lightning area. Just like the previous outer realm, the lightning that gathered this time was pitch black, and just looking at it sent chills down one's spine.
"Boom boom boom!"
Deep within the Thunder Pool, deafening roars echoed continuously, as streaks of black demonic lightning, like giant dragons, relentlessly lunged towards the two figures...
However, whenever these black lightning bolts touched Ye Chen and Zi Yan's bodies, the black light would flash and disappear instantly, and then their bodies would begin to flicker with dense lightning.
Yes, it's clear that both of them have already activated the ability to absorb the Black Demon Lightning and refine their bodies.
However, Ye Chen is now a five-patterned Thunder God Body, yet his speed of devouring Black Demon Lightning is almost the same as Zi Yan's one-patterned Thunder God Body. This makes the former sigh that the strength of one's bloodline has a huge impact on one's growth!
It can be said that the entire Dou Qi Continent, and even the entire Great Thousand World, is a place where everything is determined by bloodline.
Whether it's Xiao Yan from the original story or Mu Chen later on, no matter how humble their beginnings were, their true identities all belong to the world's top bloodline.
As for Ye Chen, he relied on cheat codes...
Thinking about the cheat, Ye Chen suddenly remembered that he hadn't released the Pure Lotus Demon Flame yet...
Thinking of this, Ye Chen's heart stirred, and with a burst of milky white flames spreading, the figure of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame appeared not far in front of Ye Chen.
As soon as it appeared, a bolt of violent black lightning rushed towards it.
Then, a milky white light swept through, and the black lightning bolt vanished instantly. Soon after, Ye Chen sensed an exceptionally pure energy surging from his body, eventually spreading throughout his limbs and bones…
The faint, electric-like sensation within this energy confirmed to Ye Chen that it was the energy of the Black Demon Lightning that had been devoured and refined by the Pure Lotus Demon Flame.
"Wow, I didn't know that was possible..." Ye Chen was secretly delighted.
Originally, he was thinking of seeing if the Pure Lotus could increase its strength by absorbing lightning, something Xiao Yan seemed to have done in the original story.
I just didn't expect there to be such a pleasant surprise...
Although the energy fed back wasn't much, probably only about one-fifth of the black demon lightning, it was enough to surprise Ye Chen.
Gazing at the dense, overwhelming black lightning in the distance, Ye Chen's eyes suddenly filled with an extremely fervent expression.
Now, with the refining and devouring abilities of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame, these Black Demon Lightning bolts, which are terrifying in the eyes of others, have truly become the most perfect tonic in the world...
These are enough to give Ye Chen a huge surprise!
In the following time, the two people and the fire spirit began to frantically devour the black demon lightning.
Well, if we're talking about madness, then perhaps only Jinglian herself could be considered mad. After all, even someone with a supreme bloodline like Ziyan couldn't completely ignore the damage from the Black Demon Lightning, so both she and Ye Chen were very restrained in absorbing the lightning to refine their bodies.
But the Pure Lotus Demon Flame had no need to fear these things at all. In fact, it even found the lightning too slow to gather, so it directly released a ball of flame and flew into the countless black demon lightning bolts in the sky, spreading out with a roar...
Immediately afterwards, the black lightning tainted by the flames was drawn in by an irresistible force, and no matter how much they struggled, they could not break free. In the end, they all flowed into the body of the Pure Lotus below along with the flames...
Chapter 516 Flesh and Blood Transformation (Part 2)
Deep within the Void Thunder Pool, thunder rumbled.
Countless black lightning bolts, resembling giant pythons, roared and surged, their power overwhelming the heavens and the earth. The simultaneous movement of ten thousand lightning bolts made even a Dou Sheng (Battle Saint) feel insignificant before such a magnificent spectacle.
Deep within this sea of black lightning, three vortexes enveloped in lightning spun wildly, with countless bolts of black lightning coiling around them, relentlessly and frantically crashing against the center of the vortexes.
However, the center of that vortex was like a black hole in the universe; no matter how much lightning struck into it, it would vanish without a trace in an instant…
And so, time passed day by day.
After an unknown amount of time, Ye Chen slowly opened his eyes. The next moment, a buzzing sound emanated from his body, and the black lightning dragon that had been enveloping him was instantly pushed three feet away by an invisible force...
With a slight movement of his body, a series of crisp crackling sounds emanated from within, and a sense of boundless power filled his entire body, as if a giant dragon were lurking within his perfect muscles.
"Hmm, my battle qi still hasn't broken through to the six-star Dou Sheng realm. It seems my accumulation is still somewhat insufficient..."
There was a hint of regret in Ye Chen's tone.
However, this training still brought him great gains, as evidenced by the fact that the number of lightning patterns on his forehead had increased to seven.
Seven-Patterned Thunder God Body!
Even without relying on Dou Qi, Ye Chen can easily kill a beginner Dou Sheng with a single punch! After activating the Thunder God Body, he can be invincible even when fighting a six-star Dou Sheng.
This is calculated purely based on physical strength. It can be said that although Ye Chen is currently only at the peak of the five-star Dou Sheng level, his combat power can easily cross a major realm when he unleashes his full power.
Moreover, he also possesses the fire spirit of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame...
With a wave of her hand, the Pure Lotus, which was still frantically devouring the Black Demon Lightning, transformed into a beam of white light and arrived beside Ye Chen.
After carefully observing Jinglian's current condition, Ye Chen was surprised to find that he could detect a strong aura of black demonic lightning within her body, which was entirely formed from the Jinglian demonic fire.
With its current strength, the Pure Lotus Demon Flame is probably more than twice as strong as it was at its peak in the Demon Flame Space!
Hmm, that means the current Pure Lotus Demon Flame is also considered to be at the peak of a six-star Dou Sheng level...
Noticing Ye Chen's actions, Zi Yan, who was still cultivating, also stopped.
"Big brother... are you leaving?"
Of the three, Zi Yan's demeanor has changed the most.
This girl actually cultivated the Thunder God Body to the sixth level in such a short time, starting from scratch, and was only one step behind Ye Chen.
After a flash of shock in his eyes, Ye Chen turned his gaze to the deeper part of the Thunder Pool...
"Don't rush to leave... What do you think the scene will be like at the center of this Void Thunder Pool?"
Ye Chen's question made Zi Yan's eyes light up.
The already daring young girl asked with the same curiosity, "How about... we go deeper and take a look?"
Ye Chen had the same idea.
If he remembered correctly, it seemed that a lightning life form had been born at the center of this Void Thunder Pool...
Just as Ye Chen and his companion were about to venture deeper, a violent surge of energy emanated from the depths of the Void Thunder Pool. Subsequently, countless shimmering lightning dragons above their heads swept across the dark area in the center of the pool.
This scene startled both of them. They exchanged a glance and, without prior arrangement, followed the lightning bolts deeper into the area...
The deeper they went, the more shocked Ye Chen and his companion became.
The oppressive aura emanating from the depths was already putting immense pressure on both of them.
A moment later, Ye Chen and his companion abruptly stopped, both staring in shock at the center of the sea of lightning...
There, a giant dragon, its entire body gleaming as if cast from gold, was coiled and undulating, with streaks of golden lightning shooting out from its surface.
"This is... Nine Profound Golden Lightning?!"
Ye Chen exclaimed in surprise.
"Nine Profound Golden Thunder? There's actually lightning of this level here?" Zi Yan couldn't help but exclaim in shock.
Nine Profound Golden Thunder—this is a legendary form of lightning. Ancient records from the continent state that only a ninth-grade Golden Core cultivator could summon this level of lightning; otherwise, such terrifying lightning wouldn't exist among the creatures of the Dou Qi Continent.
With a look of shock in her eyes, Zi Yan said, "I've only ever heard of this thing in the ancient legends of the Dragon Clan. According to the records of my Dragon Clan, every time this lightning appears, it is earth-shattering, causing the heavens and earth to tremble. Even a Dou Sheng powerhouse is insignificant under its power..."
Ye Chen nodded. If this thing were ranked among rare treasures, it would be on the same level as the Void Devouring Flame and the Pure Lotus Demon Flame. Even a Dou Sheng expert would be reduced to ashes in an instant if he got even a little bit of it.
"I originally thought this thing was just a legend, but I never expected to see it here..."
Clearly, Zi Yan was truly shocked by what she saw.
"Big brother, we..." Zi Yan suppressed her excitement, fearing she might wake the sleeping golden thunder dragon, and transmitted her voice to Ye Chen.
"Don't say anything!" Ye Chen could naturally guess what the girl was thinking, but he directly stopped her, saying, "This thing is beyond our ability to deal with right now, let's retreat first..."
Although Ye Chen did indeed have designs on this guy, after truly experiencing the terror of the Nine Profound Golden Lightning, he immediately abandoned the idea of forcing his way in.
"……it is good."
Although she was unwilling, Zi Yan knew what was important.
Just as the two had retreated less than a hundred meters, a deadly sense of crisis instantly rose from the depths of Ye Chen's heart...
"Holy crap! This guy's awake!"
Ye Chen was shocked, and his first thought was to immediately take Zi Yan and escape.
To his surprise, the awakened golden thunder dragon paid no attention to their intentions, and instead let out a mournful roar towards the sky...
