Chapter 365 (2/2)
It was no wonder that this horned lightning snake was able to mutate. It must have benefited from the silver lightning core. Even the silver-winged lightning wolves had benefited from it. Unfortunately for the wolves, the horned lightning snake had excavated the core from the stone. Once exposed, the core could no longer be allowed to stay, or it would slowly disperse before ceasing to exist.
”Help me bring it away,” said the horned lightning snake, suddenly speaking human tongue.
Demons with powerful bloodlines could usually start speaking human language the moment they reach the late-stage Great Demon realm. This horned lightning snake had never come in contact with humans before, which was why it had remained silent until now. After staying with Xiang Shaoyun's group for a bit and listening to them, its unique talent of speech started working, granting it the ability of speech.
”Haha, that is not a problem. But I might need to keep it somewhere that will make it hard for you to have constant access to it,” said Xiang Shaoyun with a smile.
This was akin to a big gift. Even if he did not absorb the silver lightning core for himself, just having it on him was enough to benefit him greatly.
The horned lightning snake gave it a thought before replying, ”I'll just go inside it. You can just take both of us in together.”
Then, it directly went inside the silver lightning core, showing no fear whatsoever to the destructive property of the silver lightning energy.
”Not bad. Its entire body is now compatible with silver lightning energy. The moment it becomes a Demon King, it will be capable of battling those beyond its realm,” Jin Wo praised.
”Looks like this little fellow is making one final acc.u.mulation before breaking through. I believe it won't be long before it becomes a Demon King,” Devouring Ghost agreed.
Xiang Shaoyun did not hesitate and directly drew the silver lightning core into his astral cosmos sea. The astral cosmos sea was now much larger than in the past, and after the odd change that had occurred within it, he was able to easily absorb the silver lightning core into it.
Immediately after the silver lightning core entered the astral cosmos sea, the lightning bone started absorbing a part of its energy, further increasing the might of the innate purple lightning.
The silver lightning core was stored at a certain corner of the astral cosmos sea. The four different elements—that of the silver lightning core, the gold lunar liquid, the lava, and the soul spring—coexisted together in the astral cosmos sea and presented a rather wondrous sight. Anyone would be completely stunned.
After all, regular astral cosmos seas could only be used to store comparatively common objects, yet Xiang Shaoyun was storing all these destructive energies in his astral cosmos sea, which was something rarely seen.
Even Devouring Ghost was greatly surprised. ”Young master, your astral cosmos sea has accepted the silver lightning core just like that?”
”Yeah. Why not?” Xiang Shaoyun asked.
”But the silver lightning core is extremely destructive. Are you not worried that it would destroy your astral cosmos sea?” Devouring Ghost asked.
”Ahh, don't worry. I have already tempered the astral cosmos sea with silver lightning energy. Why would my astral cosmos sea fear an object of the same element?” Xiang Shaoyun explained.
”That works?” Both Du Xuanhao and Devouring Ghost were dumbstruck.
Devouring Ghost was very clear on how astral cosmos seas worked. Only someone with an extremely high cultivation level could casually store something so destructive in one's astral cosmos sea like Xiang Shaoyun had just done. At the very least, one's strength must be far beyond the destructiveness of the energy one was taking in before doing something like that.
Xiang Shaoyun was able to accomplish that with a cultivation level as low as the Skysoar Realm, and he had pulled it off so easily. It was understandable that Devouring Ghost was so shocked. This firmed his belief that Xiang Shaoyun possessed an extraordinary physique no ordinary person could compare with.
”This silver lightning stone is not bad either. I can use it in the future to forge a weapon for the horned lightning snake, and I can also use it to further repair my Overlord Skyslaying Saber,” muttered Xiang Shaoyun as he stowed away the broken pieces of the silver lightning stone. He then said, ”Alright, time for us to leave.”
