Battle Through the Heavens: The Alchemist Starting from the Ye Family

Page 219

Ye Chen, vaguely regretting his overconfidence, quickly donned a suit of purple-gold scale armor, and a pair of enormous wings on his back transformed into feather shields, blocking the rain of lightning.

"The power of heaven and earth is indeed not something that humans can challenge."

Feeling the bombardment of the black demonic lightning around him, Ye Chen couldn't help but frown slightly...

There were quite a few black lightning bolts here, and if they were all triggered by carelessness, it would be quite troublesome. Therefore, he withdrew from the black lightning area and sat cross-legged outside the lightning area to observe the situation in the lightning pool.

A moment later, Ye Chen also noticed something.

For example, although this black lightning is terrifying, its density is actually much lower than that of the lightning outside, and it should be able to withstand it with its own defense.

However, he came here to temper the puppets, so there was no need for him to suffer this pain himself. So, the next moment, Ye Chen's mind moved and the three puppets stepped forward and entered the Black Demon Lightning area.

"boom!"

As the three dragons ventured deeper into the Thunder Pool, they unsurprisingly attracted the attention of some Black Thunder Demons.

Immediately, a black lightning bolt, about ten feet thick, slowly writhed like a giant python, coiling around their heads, with crackling lightning constantly emanating from its body.

Ye Chen raised an eyebrow, somewhat curious as to why the Black Demon Lightning didn't attack immediately. Could it be that it could "sense" that the Three Dragon Puppets were not living beings?

"Could these lightning bolts have developed some kind of intelligence?"

This is not surprising, after all, in a world where even strange fires can give birth to intelligence and become living beings, what's wrong with lightning of this level giving birth to intelligence?

After thinking for a moment, Ye Chen controlled Long Yi to slowly extend his palm and touch the black lightning above his head...

In response to this action, the Black Demon Lightning not only did not dodge, but instead seemed to be provoked, and with a flash of lightning, it slammed hard onto Long Yi's arm.

next moment……

Just as the black lightning touched Long Yi's arm, his body, which was as black as iron, suddenly unleashed a strange suction force, directly drawing the black lightning into his body!

"Chucky!"

As the black lightning entered his body, Long Yi's hair immediately stood on end like Ye Chen's before, with each hair standing on end like a needle. Circles of black lightning flashed wildly around his body, and strange sounds rang out one after another, sounding particularly jarring in the somewhat quiet depths of the lightning pool.

Ye Chen's gaze was fixed solely on Long Yi, then he watched as the black demonic lightning, after raging for a while, actually dispersed into all of Long Yi's muscles, bones, and cells...

Then, Long Yi's aura noticeably increased, and his already indestructible body became even more terrifying, with his punches and kicks even carrying traces of black demonic lightning.

"As expected, the Black Demon Lightning is of great benefit to a puppet like Long Yi!"

The smile had barely bloomed on Ye Chen's face when he suddenly noticed that the dense, dragon-like black lightning bolts that had been in the distance had all gathered above Long Yi's head, and then...

boom!

boom!

boom!

Huge bolts of lightning struck his body with astonishing speed.

"I rely on!"

Ye Chen was greatly alarmed...

This dragon has become a lightning rod...

Such a dense bombardment would not be able to withstand even Long Yi's current physical toughness for long.

Seeing this, Ye Chen had no choice but to send the remaining two dragons, Long Er and Long San, in to help Long Yi. In the end, even he himself had to rush in...

There was no way around it; under such a dense barrage of black lightning, the three puppets were unable to move an inch, so they had no chance of escaping.

No wonder no one has dared to venture into the depths of this Void Thunder Pool for so many years; it is truly terrifying!

Thunder god body!

Ye Chen's body suddenly swelled, and in a moment he transformed into a thunder giant tens of feet tall...

With Ye Chen personally blocking most of the Black Demon Lightning, the remaining lightning was just enough for the three puppets to absorb.

However, Ye Chen's expression grew increasingly solemn. Even though he had used all his methods, the pressure on him continued to increase.

"Since these puppets can absorb black magic lightning to increase their physical strength, can I do the same?"

For some reason, this thought suddenly popped into Ye Chen's mind.

After all, this wasn't exactly wishful thinking; he had done it before when he was cultivating the Nine Revolutions of the Thunder God.

However, the secret technique of the Nine Revolutions of the Thunder God records that cultivating the Thunder God Body is already the limit. As for what will happen if one continues to absorb even more powerful lightning, even the person who created this secret technique in ancient times probably never thought of it.

"Damn it, I'll give it a try!"

With a determined effort, Ye Chen unleashed a bolt of lightning, opened his mouth wide, and swallowed the entire Black Demon Lightning whole in one gulp…

Zizizi!

The next moment, Ye Chen felt as if he had swallowed a stream of magma, which flowed down his throat and into his stomach, with faint black smoke even rising from his nostrils and mouth.

Chapter 485 The Transformation of the Thunder God Body

Swallowing black demon lightning—it's estimated that only Ye Chen in the entire Dou Qi Continent would dare to do such a thing.

In the original story, Xiao Yan only relied on the fused Pure Lotus Demon Flame to refine the energy of the Black Demon Lightning. Even the Flame Emperor wouldn't dare to do something as crazy as swallowing lightning raw with his own body.

Of course, Ye Chen dared to do this because, as the Thunder God Body, he possessed an extremely strong immunity to lightning and a rapid absorption ability; otherwise, he could have killed himself in one fell swoop.

After feeling the black demon lightning raging within his body for a while, an exceptionally pure energy suddenly surged out from within, eventually spreading throughout his limbs and bones...

Ye Chen felt an extraordinary sense of comfort and joy at that moment.

"Sure enough!"

Ye Chen's eyes lit up as he clearly felt the improvement in his physical body, his joy overflowing.

Next, Ye Chen devoured four or five more bolts of black demonic lightning...

Each time you consume something, you need to allow your body about an hour to adapt to and digest the violent thunder energy.

And so, a day later, Ye Chen felt his body undergo another transformation...

A distinctive black lightning pattern slowly appeared on Ye Chen's forehead, standing alongside the lightning pattern that had formed after he advanced to the Thunder God Body, giving off a mysterious and domineering aura.

"This is... a promotion?" Ye Chen thought to himself in astonishment.

"So, does that mean I've reached the level of the Second-Rank Thunder God Body?"

Ye Chen raised his hand and touched the lightning pattern on his forehead. He could feel that the lightning pattern contained a large amount of terrifying energy. As long as he activated it, his strength would instantly leap forward...

It feels somewhat similar to the bloodline markings of the eight ancient clans.

However, at this moment, Ye Chen wasn't thinking about these eight ancient clans, but rather about the vast world...

It seems that in his previous life, when he was reading The Great Ruler, the first body-tempering divine technique that Mu Chen obtained was called Thunder God Body, and it was even the Thunder God Body that could be cultivated to nine patterns!

"Could this Thunder God Nine Revolutions be the Thunder God Body Tempering Divine Technique that drifted from the Great Thousand World to the Dou Qi Continent in ancient times?"

At this moment, a deep doubt arose in Ye Chen's heart.

However, the Dou Qi Continent is located below the Great Thousand World, and it was once extremely prosperous, so it is not impossible that it had contact with the Great Thousand World.

Otherwise, how could the Devouring Spirit Clan have descended upon this place...?

In the original story, Mu Chen received the Thunder God Body inheritance from the Northern Sea Dragon Kun, the guardian beast of the Northern Cang Spiritual Academy. Ye Chen didn't know if this was a skill created by the Northern Sea Dragon Kun, so he couldn't be sure at all.

Regardless, the fact that his Thunder God Nine Revolutions technique now has the potential to improve again is a great thing.

Moreover, in this way, the level of the Thunder God Nine Revolutions secret technique would be increased dramatically, and it should at least be considered a low-level Heaven-rank secret technique to match its power.

Moreover, once Mu Chen's Thunder God Body reaches the Nine-Pattern Perfection stage, his pure physical strength alone is enough to blast an ordinary Supreme Realm expert to pieces with a single punch.

I wonder if I'll be able to use the power of the Thunder God Body to smash a Dou Sheng with a single punch...

Time flowed slowly, and Ye Chen, engrossed in tempering his body with lightning, was completely unaware of the passage of time outside until he realized that his body had reached its limit.

He slowly opened his eyes.

At this moment, five black lightning patterns lined up on his forehead, looking like an ornament, making Ye Chen's aura even more mysterious.

After sensing the changes in his own battle aura, Ye Chen discovered that his battle aura had unknowingly broken through to the late stage of the four-star Dou Sheng level...

"Not bad, this was a pretty good haul."

Ye Chen chuckled lightly.

His gaze shifted to the three puppets below him...

After a month of tempering by the Black Demon Lightning, Long Yi and his two companions appeared even more profound.

That blackness seemed to possess a strange, magical power; at a glance, it resembled a constantly rotating black hole, where any attack that landed on it would be swallowed whole.

An eerie black light swirled around their bodies, making them appear from a distance as if they were wearing a thin layer of black armor. This armor was deep and dark, giving the three Long brothers a mysterious and eerie aura.

With their current bodies, which are so powerful that only the word "terrifying" can describe them, Long Yi and his companions could fight against even a true five-star Dou Sheng without giving an inch.

Most importantly, they also inherited the instincts of the Dragon Kings' rich experience, which would give even a five-star Dou Sheng a headache!

"It's time to go..."

Ye Chen glanced at the thunderous void pool again and thought to himself.

However, he will come back here again...

After all, he had not yet cultivated his Thunder God Body to its fullest potential, and he was also very curious about what kind of existence would exist in the center of this Void Thunder Pool after passing through the area of ​​Black Demon Thunder.

However, all of this will have to wait until he successfully subdues the Pure Lotus Demon Flame before he can explore further...

……

……

When Ye Chen returned to Dragon Island, the almost completely transformed island surprised and astonished him.

On the vast island, towering peaks rise abruptly from the ground, shrouded in clouds and mist. Occasionally, a colossal ancient dragon flies by, its deep roar echoing across Dragon Island.

Today's Dragon Island is a union of four Dragon Islands. It is not only vast in area, but also has a large number of people, making it a rare sight to see the shadow of the once powerful and terrifying dragon race.

With the powerful bloodline and long lifespan of the Ancient Void Dragon, given time, it would be easy for it to grow back into the dominant force on the Dou Qi Continent.

This could be considered one of the major advantages that Warcraft has over humans...

At this time, the defenses on Dragon Island were much tighter than before, and Ye Chen's appearance quickly attracted the attention of many dragon patrol warriors.

However, after recognizing his identity, everyone immediately looked at him with reverence.

There was no way around it; the scene of Ye Chen carrying two dragon king corpses was simply too shocking, especially for these elite dragon warriors, who placed Ye Chen second only to their own Dragon Emperor.

Given his relationship with their Dragon Emperor, the dragons already considered Ye Chen as half a family member, allowing him to come and go as he pleased on Dragon Island.

After greeting these people, Ye Chen immediately spread his soul power to find Zi Yan's current location. Then, he took a step forward and reappeared in a quiet courtyard deep inside Dragon Island...

Chapter 486 Nine Stars Align, Heavenly Tides

"Big brother..."

The sudden appearance of the figure startled Zi Yan in the courtyard, but after seeing who it was, she exclaimed with a hint of surprise.

"Hehe, not bad. In just one month, Dragon Island has changed so much. It seems that our Dragon Emperor has a great ability to govern..." Ye Chen looked at Zi Yan and smiled.

"Tch, you don't need to tell me. But you disappeared for more than a month, and I almost sent someone to the Void Thunder Pool to look for you..." Zi Yan pouted, never maintaining her so-called queenly demeanor in front of Ye Chen, still acting like the little girl she used to be.

"Huh? You've gotten stronger again?"

Zi Yan was surprised to sense the change in Ye Chen's aura.

"Yes, I've made a small breakthrough. I'm now at the late stage of a four-star Dou Sheng," Ye Chen chuckled.

"Damn it, they've surpassed me again..." Zi Yan clenched her little fists, looking unwilling.

Zi Yan's current cultivation level is at the mid-stage of the four-star Dou Sheng realm. This is largely due to the influence of the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit, so any further breakthroughs will be much slower.

Gently stroking Zi Yan's soft, long hair, Ye Chen said softly, "Now that things are over on Dragon Island, I should go back..."

"Are you going back now..." Upon hearing this, Zi Yan frowned slightly, gently resting her forehead against Ye Chen's chest, her expression showing some reluctance.

However, her worries did not last long. She quickly nodded and said, "Alright, the Pill Tower has just repelled the Heavenly Demon Phoenix and is currently at the height of its power. You really can't leave for too long."

"I heard that you've also formed an alliance with several forces in Zhongzhou. I just discussed it with the elders of my clan, and it's basically finalized. I'll go to the Pill Tower to confirm the alliance with you..."

"There's no need to rush for now. The Ancient Dragon Clan of the Void still needs time to recuperate, and I can still handle the situation in the Central Plains," Ye Chen said after a moment's thought.

As long as they don't directly confront the Soul Clan, with Ye Chen and Dan Ta's current strength, stabilizing the situation in Zhongzhou shouldn't be a problem.
