A beautiful smile curved her lips, but did it fade? No, it was too late for me…
Taking another step forward, the cabin was now within reach.
A dazzling flash of lightning streaked across the sky, followed by a rapid descent of purple light, and then a deafening roar of thunder that made hearts clench and the earth tremble.
A layer of flowing purple light and electricity appeared around Feng Baiyi, and boundless purple flames ignited on her body with unparalleled lightning power! ...
A sharp burning sensation emanated from her body, as if every cell in her body was in great pain—a pain that penetrated to the very marrow of her bones.
Feng Baiyi raised her head, her snow-white teeth already embedded in her lower lip, yet she felt nothing, for her entire body was in so much pain that she was almost numb.
A fleeting, melancholic smile suddenly crossed her exquisitely beautiful face.
Zhang Yaqi... was it the same when you obtained the Universe Ring?
The power of divine thunder raged unchecked within his body. This was true chaos, the power of chaos capable of destroying everything in the world, hailed as the most powerful force in all planes of existence.
Feng Baiyi knew clearly that her survival was not due to her cultivation reaching a level capable of withstanding divine lightning. Rather, it was because she possessed the Heavenly Lightning Body, a unique physique unparalleled in millennia, born with the innate ability to manipulate heavenly lightning.
Therefore, although the power of heavenly lightning was unfathomable, she still survived. However, even with a body made of heavenly lightning, it was impossible to withstand the endless pressure of the heavenly lightning.
This was already her limit. If she went any further, she would have to endure a direct attack from the Chaos Wall.
She had no confidence whatsoever in facing the chaotic entity that could even destroy the Dark God.
However, at this point, she had no way out...
She took the final step. Her hand was already on the doorknob of the cabin.
In an instant, lightning bolts lashed out like golden whips, striking here and there, until finally, they coalesced into a colossal bolt of lightning that crashed down upon the ground.
Purple lightning suddenly surged up from her body. In an instant, all her clothes vanished in the electric fire, revealing her flawless, jade-white body, which was faintly visible within the purple halo, yet appeared so pale, as if it were about to return to nothingness at any moment.
Her mind suddenly became confused, and her eyes lost focus.
This is the true power of heavenly lightning...
Consciousness gradually sank into a warm yet dark place.
That place might be a good home.
Countless figures seemed to flash by before my eyes.
In the Heavenly Thunder Palace, a small girl, wielding a lightning-summoning sword as tall as herself, is striving to master the art of unifying body and sword...
That was Feng Baiyi when she was young.
From the moment she was born, she lived amidst the envy and applause of others. As a being with the body of heavenly thunder, she held an extremely special position in the Heavenly Thunder Palace.
From a young age, she knew that sooner or later, the Thunder Palace would be hers, and the Thunder God Sword, which had been enshrined for three thousand years, would also be hers.
However, no one expected that this day would come so soon...
Her mother, her aunt, and several celestial beings were all the people she had met before leaving the Thunder Palace.
She originally thought she would study and practice diligently here for the rest of her life until she ascended to the immortal realm.
However, one day, her aunt took her to a place called Earth. Because there, there was a forbidden book of secret martial arts belonging to the Heavenly Thunder Palace.
It was there that her life took a turn, and she met someone she would never forget...
"I'll wait for you to come back..."
A deep, emotional voice lingered in my ears.
Through the plane window, our eyes met for a fleeting moment...
Ottawa, my first time using lightning...
Beneath the heavenly tribulation, that warm and broad chest...
The Jade Cauldron Sect, with its unparalleled masters of weapon crafting...
The Demon-Suppressing Star, that spirited and powerful martial arts master who was evenly matched with the Dark God, and that sorrowful and helpless look in his eyes after losing his lover...
"I'll wait for you to come back..."
……
Her beautiful eyes shone with a reborn light, and her body was once again filled with strength.
Her palms faced each other, and there was a tiny black hole there, a black hole capable of swallowing everything. At that moment, through the black hole before her, she saw a tiny white flash of lightning within it.
Yes, white lightning, the primordial energy of that chaotic power.
The black hole in her hand slowly expanded, and white primordial energy merged into her body...
The purple light and electricity no longer raged; instead, they draped themselves gently over me, like a beautiful, shimmering wing of lightning, fluttering in the breeze.
She reached out her hand and pushed open the door to the cottage...
She finally managed to step one foot inside...
Yaqi, did you see that?
I……
Feng Baiyi, I won't lose to you...
……
Before the forbidden area, the nine current Heavenly Venerables of the Heavenly Thunder Palace gathered together. They did not speak, but waited silently.
In the sky, endless lightning and thunder flashed. From the moment Feng Baiyi entered, the forbidden area had never been quiet for a moment.
Suddenly, a dazzling and brilliant light shone before their eyes.
A beautiful young woman, clad in a purple dress, approached them amidst deafening flashes of lightning and thunder...
He walked in mid-air...
White jade feet, purple lightning robes.
A deafening roar followed, as if struck by lightning...
Volume 4, The Divine Artifacts, Chapter 259: Tempering the Physical Body (Part 1)
------------------------
Wanbaotang has become Xiao Wenbing's temporary home.
Although he knew that if he returned to the Jade Cauldron Sect at this time, he would receive the best treatment, he just couldn't muster any interest in seeing anyone else.
Both the God of Treasures and the King of Food wisely refrained from disturbing him. On the contrary, the old fellow King of Food had been following the God of Treasures around very attentively lately. Xiao Wenbing was naturally aware of his purpose; he knew that the God of Treasures wanted to help him remove the mark from the magical artifact he had stolen on the Demon Suppression Star.
Out of consideration for the days they had spent together, Xiao Wenbing casually offered a word of help. Then, the precious artifact stepped in, and in no time, the task was completed.
However, to Xiao Wenbing's surprise, the Food King did not immediately leave his mark on the magic weapon after fulfilling his wish.
Moreover, he made no mention of leaving, as if he intended to stay there forever.
Although this is the territory of the Baby God, the Baby God obviously doesn't mind having more people, so he didn't expel the Food King who deliberately lingered. He just created a restricted area in the place where the gods' garbage is collected, and otherwise let him run around as he pleased, ignoring him.
As for Xiao Wenbing, he simply chose a stone chamber and went into seclusion alone.
After the battle on Zhenmo Star, he clearly felt his own inadequacy. Although with his cultivation level, no matter how hard he tried, it was impossible for him to catch up with a monstrous existence like the Dark God in a short period of time.
However, since we're going to the Demon Realm, the higher our strength is, the better.
Because the destination is another dimension, his actions are restricted because the Treasure God of Wanbaotang cannot cross the boundary to provide him with divine power.
Therefore, his greatest reliance was not the divine power of the Treasure God, but the small golden talisman passed down from the White Crane Immortal.
The Little Golden Talisman is a treasure of the Secret Talisman Sect and the Earth Array Sect, which is perfectly reasonable. After the battle with the Dark God, Xiao Wenbing should have returned it to Daoist Xianyun.
but……
He knew very well that once he lost the Little Golden Talisman, even if he went to the Demon Realm, he would be nothing. Let alone those mortal immortals who could stand shoulder to shoulder with the former nine great demons, he couldn't even defeat any expert above the Nascent Soul stage.
Therefore, the little golden talisman was his only hope.
He knelt before his master and clearly stated that he wanted to go to the Demon Realm. After a moment of silence, the old Taoist priest Xianyun did not try to dissuade him but tacitly agreed. Of course, the old man did not ask him for the little golden talisman.
However, while the Little Golden Talisman possessed immense power, it still had its limits and could not be used indiscriminately. Therefore, during the time Feng Baiyi was away, Xiao Wenbing's objective was very clear.
Strive, strive, and strive again, to improve your cultivation level as much as possible without going astray.
Of course, for anyone else, it would be impossible to achieve such rapid advancement in just ten days. But Xiao Wenbing is different; he is a miraculous cultivator possessing pseudo-divine power.
Inside the stone chamber, a flash of golden light appeared, and something suddenly appeared in Xiao Wenbing's hand.
It was a golden elixir brimming with energy. With the divine power at its disposal, replicating the golden elixir was no longer an insurmountable challenge.
"Isn't this too risky?" The Mirror God's body emerged from the stone ground in front of him, his voice carrying a hint of sadness.
Xiao Wenbing was slightly taken aback. The Mirror God's concern was a bit unexpected. Then, a faint smile appeared on his lips: "You worry about me too?"
Although his temperament had become much more composed after the great battle, he still regained his usual humor when he was alone with the Mirror God, who was like a teacher and a friend.
"Of course I'm not worried about you." Mirror God immediately denied Xiao Wenbing's words. After thinking for a moment, he seemed to realize that he had gone a bit too far, and quickly added, "I'm just worried that if you die, there will be no one to talk to. So... I was just showing a little concern, understand?"
"Hmm." Xiao Wenbing glanced at it with amusement. To come up with such an excuse? Truly worthy of being a divine artifact spirit, and a top-tier one at that...
He smiled slightly, then suddenly whispered, "Mirror God..."
"What?" After waiting for a while, and still not hearing Xiao Wenbing continue, Mirror God was very surprised, stretched his head, and asked.
Xiao Wenbing looked at him and said in a tone full of emotion, "Thank you."
The Mirror God paused, seemingly opening its mouth, but looking utterly bewildered. In its almost one-dimensional way of thinking, this emotion was extremely unfamiliar, something it had never encountered before, and therefore it had no idea how to react.
"I'm about to perform my ritual, Mirror God, thank you for your help."
After Xiao Wenbing finished speaking, he closed his eyes. During the time he spent with the Mirror God, it had become more and more like a person, a real human being.
The Mirror God blinked his narrow eyes, which were comparable to those of the Food King, and after holding back for a long time, finally muttered in his lowest voice, "Crazy."
Then, it focused its attention on observing the changes occurring within Xiao Wenbing's body.
However, it did not realize that at this moment, its level of focus and concentration was the most it had ever been since it gained consciousness.
