Chapter 367 (2/2)

He was already a Skysoar Realm cultivator and already had basic mastery over the energy in his stars. Drawing lightning to him was nothing difficult for him now. He erupted the power of his first star and his lightning bone. Instantly, his body was flooded with lightning energy as a roaring purple dragon soared out of him into the sky above.

Without any hesitation, Xiang Shaoyun soared to the sky as well. With his own star, he established a connection with a star beyond the sky and roared, ”Heed my call, natural lightning. Descend!”

He mustered all his mental power, his mind becoming one with his body as he formed a connection with the natural world. Wind blew madly around him. During the Transformation Realm, he had once drawn natural lightning from the sky with his saber. Now that he was a third-stage Skysoar Realm cultivator, he could easily repeat the feat. Sure enough, at his shout, the sky darkened as a bolt of lightning came shooting toward him.

Rumble!

Before Xiang Shaoyun could even circulate the Six Goldplate Manual's cultivation mantra, he was struck. He dropped from the sky and crashed into the ground, looking rather sorry.

Fortunately, he was someone who could survive even silver lightning bolts. A regular lightning bolt was not as powerful and could only cause minor injuries and damage his clothes. As a whole, he was still in good condition. The lightning bone within him absorbed all the lightning energy on his body, reducing the harm the lightning could do to him.

”s.h.i.+t, that was fast,” Xiang Shaoyun spat.

Once again, he did the same and connected his star with the star beyond the sky, summoning another bolt of lightning. Yet another bolt of lightning shot down from the sky. In a flash, it reached him.

This time, he was already prepared, yelling, ”Six Goldplate Manual!”

He circulated the Six Goldplate Manual, drawing from the gold energy in his body. Instantly, the gold energy covered his body, forming a protective barrier around him. The defensive barrier was formed through a combination of his gold energy and king aura. Although he could only display a tiny bit of the Six Goldplate Manual's true power at the moment, the barrier still greatly boosted his defense, especially when compared to his defenses from when he was a Transformation Realm cultivator.

Bang!

The lightning struck Xiang Shaoyun's body, sending him slamming to the ground again. He stood up shortly after and grumbled, ”This defensive technique does not seem to work? Let's give it another try.”

Once again, he activated the Six Goldplate Manual and waited until he reached an optimal state before summoning another bolt of lightning. With a flash, he was struck mercilessly yet again.

Other ordinary Kings would find it hard to resist natural lightning bolts like this, yet here was Xiang Shaoyun, being struck head on again and again. In some way, this sight of his bitter cultivation was quite sorrowful to look at.

Not far away, Devouring Ghost stood silently. Inwardly, however, he was alarmed, The young master is summoning natural lightning way too easily! When he grows more and reaches the point when he can summon a large number of lightning bolts, who will be able to face him? That was how the previous master had obtained his freakish combat prowess that rendered him undefeated! Unfortunately, the young master has opted to cultivate nine different powers.

Xiang Shaoyun was not aware of Devouring Ghost's thoughts. Again and again, he summoned lightning bolts to strike him. And again and again, he activated his Six Goldplate Manual only to be destroyed by a strike of lightning. He was injured repeatedly, but his life was protected by the lightning bone, which was constantly absorbing all the lightning energy. His first star also benefited from the rain of lightning, and a certain mysterious power within his astral cosmos sea was hungrily absorbing the lightning energy.
