Immortal and Martial Dual Cultivation

Chapter 1446 (Raw 1429): Ten Thousand Tribulation Divine Lightning

The millions of golden lightning dragons remained. It was like they were maintaining a certain formation, swimming about in the pitch-black space.

When the scarlet talisman on Xiao Chen's forehead crumbled, he regained control of his body, no longer feeling like he was a metal statue.

Ow!

From the initial numbness, losing all sensation in his body, to feeling all sorts of pain after recovery, it felt like millions of ants charging towards his brain.

Indeed, it was as the Thunder Immortal Ancestor said, even with his help, this pain was unforgettable. Without it, the consequences would be unimaginable. It seemed there had still been some deficiencies in his previous line of thought.

Calling it deficiency was really just a form of self-consolation. To be more accurate, it was just a wild fantasy, a delusion.

After the pain passed, Xiao Chen's entire body, as well as his mind, felt extremely fatigued. The image of the Thunder Immortal Ancestor's final smile kept playing in his head.

The Thunder Immortal Ancestor was clearly smiling, but he smiled in such a sorrowful manner that Xiao Chen felt down as a result.

He often identified strongly with the Thunder Immortal Ancestor.

Xiao Chen rarely smiled, always remaining calm and cool-headed, showing neither joy nor grief. He gave off the feeling of being hard to approach. He could not be blamed for this; this world was too hypocritical. Those who knew how to smile would live to the end.

However, he really did not know how. Even if he showed the occasional smile, he could not change the worry that showed on his face.

No matter how gentle Xiao Chen's heart was, all people saw was a cold mask that did not allow anyone into his heart.

When he thought back on his past, the period of his life where he had the least concerns was where his dreams began, that small city known as Mohe City. However, the time where he was the happiest was when he was in the Heavenly Saber Pavilion's Qingyun Peak, the days where he learned the saber.

There was also the person who taught him the saber.

Now, Xiao Chen finally understood why the feeling that Pan Huang's statue gave him was different from that of the many statues of previous Saber Sovereigns.

Pan Huang's smile came from his heart, an unbridled and unrestrained smile.

The more Xiao Chen's thoughts wandered, the sleepier he got. His consciousness faded, and he entered a deep sleep.

--

While Xiao Chen entered a deep sleep, a great change came to Misleading Fog Lake. The fog that had lingered above the lake for a long time actually vanished.

When this matter was discovered, news of it quickly spread across the entire Fiend Domain.

It even startled the Spirit Fox King, a Prime. All the elders of the Fiend Race came one after another.

To their surprise, there was nothing in Misleading Fog Lake. Even after the Spirit Fox King went around and used his Mental Energy to scan every single grain of sand, he did not discover anything out of the ordinary.

However, the more this was so, the stranger it seemed. There was definitely some kind of supreme treasure in Misleading Fog Lake.

Why was it that after the fog disappeared, they could not find anything? They could only speculate that the supreme treasure had already been taken by someone before them. Some Fiend Race powerhouses refused to give up, continuously wandering Misleading Fog Lake.

After a long time, they still did not discover anything. Hence, the commotion over this disturbance spread.

People just took this as a bizarre incident, circulating stories of it in the Fiend Domain.

This news eventually spread to the oceanic world, to the Heavenly Starry Ocean, and reached the mysterious Treasure Master. Speaking of which, this Treasure Master was truly mysterious and unfathomable, even stranger than the Shadowless Saber Sovereign.

The Treasure Master controlled all the sea markets in the Heavenly Starry Ocean. Every sea market was built around a huge statue of an Immortal. He was the richest and most well-known person in the Heavenly Starry Ocean.

Many people envied him, but he still managed to live perfectly well. Even when he offended the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign five years ago, he still appeared free and at ease.

Rumor had it that the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign once came to the Heavenly Starry Ocean in his true body and fought a huge battle with the Treasure Master.

That battle was known to only a few peak Martial Emperors. They did not know the results, only that the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign never returned to the Heavenly Starry Ocean since then.

As for the Treasure Master, he continued living a low-profile life like before.

"Interesting, I thought it could last for a while longer… That's not right. It should not have vanished so quickly." After obtaining the news, the Treasure Master muttered to himself in confusion.

A dark fog surrounded the Treasure Master. A black lotus flower flickered with light under his feet. This appeared extremely strange. He had a scary and malevolent saber scar, which looked like a centipede resting on his aged face.

Logically speaking, no matter what kind of scar it was, an ordinary Martial Emperor should be able to find a way to deal with it.

However, the saber scar on the Treasure Master's face gave the feeling that it had been there for a long time and would remain there forever.

"It looks like I have to make a trip to the Penglai Sea."

The black lotus under the Treasure Master's feet bloomed, giving off a bright light. When the bright light vanished, the flower disappeared.

--

Naturally, Xiao Chen did not know about all this—he just woke up, feeling refreshed and very comfortable.

"Indeed, I feel much better after a good sleep."

Xiao Chen ridiculed himself a little before checking on that Divine Lightning Talisman in his sea of consciousness. The Thunder Immortal Lord had called it the Ten Thousand Tribulation Divine Lightning, the master and ancestor of all tribulation lightning.

This Divine Lightning Talisman floated quietly in Xiao Chen's sea of consciousness, taking the place of the previous Innate Thunder Crystal. His entire sea of consciousness became dyed golden.

Xiao Chen felt that the baptism of this talisman had refined the Magic Energy in his sea of consciousness into even greater purity and density.

Excellent!

However, Xiao Chen quickly discovered something tragic: he could not control this Divine Lightning Talisman.

It was even to the point where he could not move it at all, unlike the Innate Thunder Crystal, which had been entirely at his disposal, moving responsively to his whims.

Xiao Chen spread out his Thunder Domain and felt the energy of the talisman draining. However, that feeling was like taking water from the sea. So, he did his best and expanded the Thunder Domain continuously.

Like before, he could not even drain a thousandth—even a ten-thousandth—of the Divine Lightning's energy.

Looking at the Thunder Domain in the surrounding ten kilometers, Xiao Chen felt somewhat conflicted. This was the limit of what he could do at the moment. It was not just his physical body. His cultivation and ken also restricted him from unleashing the full might of the Divine Lightning.

Divine Lightning Eye!

Xiao Chen suddenly remembered that before the Thunder Immortal Ancestor disappeared, the Thunder Immortal Ancestor bequeathed to him a Supreme Magic Skill that could be used to bring out the might of the Ten Thousand Tribulation Divine Lightning.

During the Immortal Epoch, Spells were the foundation. Above Spells were Magic Skills. Magic Skills were categorized into Minor Magic Skills, Major Magic Skills, and Supreme Magic Skills.

The Dharmic World that the Maheśvara Buddha gave Xiao Chen was a Major Magic Skill of the Buddhists.

The moment Xiao Chen thought about the Divine Lightning Eye, information about it surged into his mind. It was like someone whispering into his ears, explaining the various mysteries of the Divine Lightning Eye.
