Xiang Shaoyun, Du Xuanhao, and Jin Wo arrived at the location where lightning congregated, the territory of the lightning condors located between the outer and inner fringes of the Hundred Beast Mountain Range.
When they arrived, they were welcomed by the sight of over 100 lightning condors gliding about in the sky, their cries reverberating throughout the air. The moment they saw Xiang Shaoyun's group, they attacked.
But when Jin Wo released his boundless demonic aura, the lightning condors were all suppressed and started falling from the air. Below them, a loud cry rang out from an ancient tree, and a lightning condor that was far larger than the other condors flew up.
It was none other than the lightning condor king. Unfortunately, this lightning condor king was still too weak before Jin Wo. Before he even got far, he started dropping from the sky due to Jin Wo's suppression as well.
”L-lord Demon Emperor!” the lightning condor king cried out in alarm when he saw Jin Wo's true form and sensed the terrifying pressure.
”Alright Jin Wo, you can withdraw your demonic aura now. I'm old friends with the lightning condor king,” said Xiang Shaoyun. At his command, Jin Wo obediently withdrew his demonic aura, returning the lightning condors their freedom.
Xiang Shaoyun hopped off Jin Wo's body and asked, ”Do you still remember me, lightning condor king?”
He still remembered that this was the place where he first awakened his lightning bone. At that time, the lightning condor king was a brand new Demon King who had almost been captured by Young Lightning King.
”You...you're the human from two years ago?” said the lightning condor king in astonishment. He had evidently not expected to see Xiang Shaoyun here again with a Demon Emperor by his side.
”I'm glad to hear you still remember me. I need to borrow this place as I am in need of the power of natural lightning,” said Xiang Shaoyun.
He still remembered back then when the lightning condor king wanted to become his follower but was rejected. After all, this lightning condor king did not really have a lot of potential and would not be of much help to him. The lightning condor king did not have any reason to refuse. He brought Xiang Shaoyun's group straight to the main peak where he resided.
It was a place frequently struck by lightning. Because of that, there was a thick concentration of lightning energy in the air. There were also some lightning-elemental plants growing in the area, but they weren't high-grade plants, so they were pretty much useless for Xiang Shaoyun.
”We had a storm just two days ago, so I guess the next storm will only come in about half a month from now,” said lightning condor king, behaving very carefully around them.
”Don't worry. I can just lure the lightning bolts down if they are not coming,” said Xiang Shaoyun.
”Luring them?” The lightning condor king was astonished.
By the side, Devouring Ghost asked in surprise, ”Young master, you have already reached the level where you can draw lightning into your body?”
”Yes, I think so,” said Xiang Shaoyun.
”Haha, if you have reached this level, then my worries have been for nothing. You should have tasted lightning long ago. Breaking through into the Skysoar Realm won't be a problem for you then,” said Devouring Ghost. ”If you are able to lure some mutated lightning bolts down, it will be even better for your lightning bone.”
”Mutated lightning bolt?” Xiang Shaoyun frowned.
Devouring Ghost was right. Luring some mutated lightning bolts would be even better. However, mutated lightning bolts were extremely rare and hard to come by. Furthermore, they were extremely powerful, and it would be extremely hard to survive one.
”You're looking for mutated lightning bolts?” asked the lightning condor king.
