Chapter 595 Taiyi (1/2)

If this was Wen Zhong in his past self, he would never be able to experience the changes that had occurred to Shen Lian. He had now become the Mighty God of Thunder. This position not only brought him ultimate powers, it too gave him a state that was equally majestic.

As the saying 'In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God', achieving immortality was not necessarily the only way to be venerated as a god. One could become a god through the boulevard. One or another, these two methods led to the same goal.

Wen Zhong understood that he could not let Shen Lian had the chance to dwell into such abstruse realization as it would be extremely difficult for him to be taken away.

Lady Mother of the Chariot, the eldest goddess in the Netherworld, took out a Talisman order and made Wen Zhong the Lord of Thunder Technique. This way, with the aid of it, Wen Zhong would definitely be able to defeat Shen Lian. In other words, Wen Zhong would be more powerful than Shen Lian.

At the point of time, not only the Lady Mother of the Chariot and Wen Zhong understood the situation of it, even Shen Lian himself knew the fact that there would always be a slim chance of survival in this world.

And as for Shen Lian, his survival would depend on Wen Zhong as Wen Zhong could only temporarily be the Mighty God of Thunder for two hours, not a second more, not a second less.

Although Shen Lian was unsure of the matter, he made a resolute choice to follow the principle of 'defend first, attack later'.

Only then, he started to restrain himself and summoned up his powers, combining them. He laid out all his cards, all that he had, openly to his enemy. The main motive behind the transparency was to protect himself and not to defeat Wen Zhong.

Shen Lian made such a move because he understood a point very well. It was not long since he met Wen Zhong, even though Wen Zhong had received a fortuitous gift, the Goddess should not have raised his powers and state to that extent, surpassing far beyond what he originally had. The standard practice to god in nature was like the Taiyi and Mahasattva, but Wen Zhong was originally a land immortal of Dao. He would definitely have a hard time coping with the sudden and enormous change that he received.

It was an unattainable goal for a mortal to become a deity because the Accumulation  in between must not be missed out.

With that being said, those accumulations were an undeniable fact. Shen Lian could feel that Wen Zhong had only seized the potentiality to become a great deity but not owning it.

He would not need to suppress him with such massive power had he owned the title for good. Instead, as the Lord of Thunder Dao, he could have diligently used his understanding towards the principles of powers to restrain him and torture him to death like cat and mouse game.

The more Shen Lian tried to understand that point, the calmer he became.

Out of a sudden, Wen Zhong raged. Two Thunder Dragons assailed towards the direction of Shen Lian, as if they were trying to clash-up the sky and the earth.

A peculiar scene appeared in the sky with Shen Lian sitting in mid-air. His whole body glowed with divine aura which was shining like the stars in the galaxy. Two Thunder Dragons hovering outside, crossing each other as they moved like a big millstone and Shen Lian situated in the core, being crashed and strangled by it.

The scared rays were dim, like a flame that was about to be extinguished, defending hard against the brutal attack of the Thunder Dragons.

At that point of time, the citizens in Xiliang City could only see what was happening but could not feel even the slightest eeriness. However, for those who possess Qi would be able to feel that the Qi within them became stagnant.

Lightning was originated from the Qi between Yin and Yang. It symbolized the execution from the heaven, possessing a very high divinity. Thus, it was able to repress everything.

Li Yuanliang and the other fellows could not provide any help to Shen Lian but only watched him being strangled and tortured by the Thunder Dragons.

Chen Jing gnashed her teeth in anger, her stares penetrative and just like others, she could not move a little. On the other hand, the young Chen Ke was merely watching the scenario in the sky, not understanding what was happening. At that moment, only Thunder Dragons and the remarkable deity, Wen Zhong was seen up in the sky. Apart from the shuddering thunder, it was very quiet between the heaven and earth.

The silence lingered and even Chen Ke was affected by it. She was cautious with her movements.

The divine lights emitted from Shen Lian became dimmer. He could feel that his Primordial Spirit was depleting rapidly but he could not reach out for help from anyone.

'Primordality' signified the essence in the body which was transformed into Qi through motion and subsequently called Qi; 'Spirit' signified the spirit of the body and together they were called 'Primordial Spirit'.

Primordial Spirit was a combination of the divine Qi in the body, allowing the Qi cultivator to separate his spiritual self from his physical self. With a special method, they were able to live for eternity in their spiritual form.

Shen Lian had used up the Qi that he accumulated throughout the years to defend himself from the strangulation of the Thunder Dragons and also to protect the spirit within his deepest core.
