The First Demon of the Chan Sect-Chapter 789 - 332: Being Struck by Lightning is Also a Skill

Under the desolate starfield, one after another pitiful screams tore through the long sky, the glaring blood-red mixing with the golden war spears, sketching a scene that made one’s hair stand on end.

From the distant Five Elements Sacred Star, the Mountain Lord squinted his eyes, which seemed to penetrate the Void, passing through the endless stars, seeing the tragic condition of this attack.

At this moment, a water-blue radiance burst from afar, landing and transforming into Shui Yuanzi, who respectfully said to the Mountain Lord: "Heavenly King, the ten thousand cultivators we sent to probe Wanling Pass... have all perished!"

The Heavenly King Mountain Lord waved his hand indifferently and said, "I see, you may withdraw!"

Seeing the Mountain Lord’s indifferent demeanor, Shui Yuanzi was momentarily stunned, opened his mouth to say something, but then stopped himself.

"What is it, do you have something else?" the Mountain Lord frowned and asked, turning to the side.

Shui Yuanzi clenched his teeth tightly, bowed respectfully, and said, "Heavenly King, it’s been so many years, may I see Huo Yuanzi and the others?"

The Mountain Lord’s brow furrowed tighter, he pondered for a long while, then flung out a crystal-clear crystal ball from his robe sleeves and said, "Hurry up, every time it’s such a small matter you dilly-dally, be careful or I’ll refine them all with Demon Fire!"

Shui Yuanzi’s face turned ugly as he took the crystal ball. This fist-sized crystal ball was distinct inside: red was the Fire Element Rules, grey-brown was the Earth Element Rules, shiny silver was the Gold Element Rules, and the deep green was the Wood Element Rules.

Contained within the small crystal ball were the four strongest Original Iron Rules between Heaven and Earth, its material composition unknown.

"Huo Yuanzi, Gold Yuanzi..." Holding the crystal ball in his hand, Shui Yuanzi suddenly revealed a deep sadness, having depended on each other from birth, the other four having already returned to their origins, waiting to be reborn with spiritual intelligence, only he remained alive, what a sorrow this was!

...

In the southwestern part of the Endless Thunder Abyss, a well-built figure with his upper body bare advanced a few steps and then retreated a few within this space entirely composed of thunder and lightning, constantly shifting position in a dizzyingly complex manner.

Suddenly, a "boom" resounded, a dazzling Destructive Saint Tribulation Lightning suddenly slammed onto the continuously flickering shadow, directly blasting him away.

"Crack!"

The mixed sound of electric arcs bursting echoed, the lightning left no traces on his body, only sparking several dazzling sparks.

"Shit, hit again!"

Li Qingming shook his head, somewhat annoyed that the previously nearby expanse was now distant, helplessly shaking his head and turning back to where the White Giant Snake resided.

In these hundred years, Li Qingming had exhausted his mind calculating the exterior Great Formation, not to say he had completely mastered it, but if he wanted to break through, it was possible.

But the difficulty lay in this aspect; in recent years, Li Qingming had no less than a hundred opportunities to reach the center of the Great Formation. Yet again and again, at the last moment, he was struck by thunder and lightning, flung away, thus failing utterly!

Seeing Li Qingming’s return, the White Giant Snake wiggled its tail cheerfully and crawled over, its large triangular snake head rubbed gently on Li Qingming’s tattered Daoist robe, and said, "Master, how did it go?"

Full of grievances with nowhere to vent, Li Qingming slapped the giant snake’s body in frustration, sparking a brilliant firework, and said, "Get out of the way, you haven’t passed, haven’t passed!"

Having been slapped by Li Qingming, the giant snake seemed to have gotten used to it, not angry at all, but merely coiled up and started practicing shadow boxing not far away.

After a century of companionship, the giant snake had completely abandoned its initial thoughts of revenge and even turned around, begging Li Qingming to accept him as a pet.

The reason? It had taken a liking to the gourmet food and spiritual elixirs that Li Qingming possessed.

Absurd as it might sound, that was indeed the case.

Despite the giant snake’s cultivation reaching the peak of the Heavenly Dao and approaching the Half-step Dao Realm, it was, after all, a single species in this world.

All the other small Thunder Beasts born in the Endless Thunder Abyss were swallowed by the giant snake, and as time passed, the Endless Thunder Abyss was left with only this one creature.

Until Li Qingming arrived, although initially bringing immense pain to it, the spiritual pills and delicious Jadescent Nectar had completely intoxicated this simple-minded snake. It had acknowledged Li Qingming as its master, becoming a rare Heavenly Dao Realm Divine Pet.

"Damn it, why does it always happen that just at the last moment, I get struck by lightning? This isn’t scientific at all!" grumbled Li Qingming, irritably pulling out a bottle of Jadescent Nectar and pouring it into his mouth.

The giant snake, upon hearing the sound, swiftly darted in front of Li Qingming, its menacing eyes widening even more than a lantern, fixating on the Jade Bottle in Li Qingming’s hand.

Surprised by this, Li Qingming burst out laughing and scolded, "You beast, always so ready to jump... Huh?"

He stopped mid-sentence, stunned, thinking to himself: "Yeah! I’ve been struck by the same lightning at the same place hundreds of times, how do I never learn? I could totally dodge before the lightning strikes! I’m really so stupid!"

With that thought, Li Qingming threw away the Jade Bottle and transformed into a streak of light, furiously charging into the vast Thunder Sea.

It didn’t take long for Li Qingming to arrive back at the Array Pattern that had tricked him countless times.

"Damn it, I don’t believe you can strike me this time!"

Cautiously verifying the method to disarm this particular Array Pattern, Li Qingming made his move.

Like a lion awakening, Li Qingming trod on profound steps, nearly instantaneously breaking through that Array Pattern. However, as the Array Pattern activated the Great Formation, endless Destructive Saint Tribulation Lightning descended from the sky, chasing after Li Qingming who had just stepped into the next Array Pattern.

"Damn it, I already passed that spot, why are you still relentlessly chasing me! I’ll block it!" Lightning was faster than the speed of light; Li Qingming barely managed to curse out loud and hurriedly summoned the Yuqing Immortal Light to shield himself, only to be struck and sent flying once again.

However, this time the direction was somewhat skillful.

The Array Pattern was a watershed; heading east led to the endless Thunder Sea with raging thunder and lightning all around. Heading west, however, was the bright open area that Li Qingming had seen earlier, also known as the Array Core.

Normally, Li Qingming would face west upon this Array Pattern, barely setting his foot on it before getting struck by lightning and barely escaping with his life into the Thunder Sea. But this time, the direction was the opposite. Not only did the lightning not harm Li Qingming, but it also flung him directly into the very center of the entire Great Formation.

I have to say, getting struck by lightning is also a craft! (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please go to m.qidian.com to read.)
