Chapter 1416

<hr>

BOOM!

An endless sea of lightning filled heaven and earth, drowning countless devil creatures . An expert covered in lightning rampaged through their midst, slaughtering the devil creatures .

That person’s appearance was blurry . He seemed like a human-shaped bolt of lightning . The weapons in his hands were also formed of lightning and could constantly transform . They were completely invincible .

In just an incense stick’s worth of time, that expert slaughtered all the devil creatures, leaving behind a mountain of corpses .

s.p.a.ce exploded, and the world turned dark . Some kind of energy caused Long Chen’s scrying to come to a sudden stop .

This was Long Chen’s seventh time using the Nine Star Hegemon Body Art to go back in the flow of time and peer into that ancient battle .

But he didn’t gain anything with his first six attempts . Whatever he saw was far too profound for him to even attempt understanding, or there hadn’t been enough time for him to see anything before his vision was cut short .

This chaotic domain had countless battle scars that were imprinted in the Heavenly Daos . They were random and without order . There was no way to find any pattern to them .

Long Chen didn’t gain anything, but because of his continuous attempts at peering into the mysteries of the past, he was receiving a backlash, made worse by the terrifying eruptions of power from that battle . His soul was aching .

But this ended up provoking Long Chen’s stubborn nature . The more he couldn’t obtain something, the more he wanted it .

As a result, on his seventh try, at this seventh location, Long Chen received a delightful surprise .

“That senior definitely had a legendary lightning spirit body . His entire body was practically completely transformed into lightning, and he had no more flesh and blood . How terrifying . ” Long Chen was full of admiration .

<hr>That person had actually abandoned their own flesh and blood body to become an incarnation of lightning . Just how much bravery did that require? Or was it simply craziness?

Long Chen quickly recorded the shape of the runes, as well as how this technique circulated one’s energy . He then transferred all this to Lei Long . What delighted him was that Lei Long instantly comprehended what he transferred to it, and it actually became able to use the lightning art .

Long Chen was wild with joy . While that senior had possessed a lightning spirit body, he had still been a human . But Lei Long was a spiritual body composed of heavenly tribulation lightning . For Lei Long, controlling lightning runes was as easy as a person controlling their limbs .

To Lei Long, this kind of high level art was just a slightly more difficult movement . It learned it in just a bit, and it would simply need some time to train in it before it was mastered .

However, Lei Long also needed Long Chen’s power . It needed the support of Long Chen’s spiritual yuan to bring out the full power of this magical art .

Originally, he was worried that he wouldn’t be able to comprehend much of this person’s lightning arts . Even comprehending a third of them would require a huge amount of time and energy . But now that he tested teaching Lei Long, he realized that this wasn’t even a problem .

“Lei Long, you absorb the lightning chains while studying these lightning arts . When you figure things out, teach them to me . This is very important to me . ” Long Chen gave this mission to Lei Long .

Once Lei Long fully comprehended these lightning arts, considering their mental and spiritual connection, it wouldn’t be long before Long Chen could learn them as well .

After obtaining these lightning arts, Long Chen didn’t bother wasting any more time . These ancient techniques were too difficult to obtain, and also too difficult to comprehend . He didn’t have that much time to waste .

Long Chen killed one of the ancient family alliance’s disciples, and he learned some information that wasn’t behind restrictions .

First of all, it was now confirmed for him that Mo Nian was fine . Furthermore, his life was very lively recently . He continuously appeared out of nowhere, causing an uproar in the ancient family alliance .

He also learned some information about what Mo Nian had done . In just the past year, he had killed over a thousand geniuses of the ancient family alliance . He had defeated nine rank nine Celestials, killing three of them . He had dug up thirteen hundred and six ancestral graves within the ancient family alliance . He had plundered their resources hundreds of times . Many of the ancient families had had every last bit of their wealth plundered .

When he thought of that, Long Chen’s expression became odd . Could it be that he had been infected by that fellow? He had also plundered Pill Valley .

He lamented inside that as one would expect, ink stained . Mo Nian’s surname, Mo, meant ink, and now it seemed he had been turned black by Mo Nian as well . Long Chen suddenly felt that before he had met Mo Nian, he had been an extremely kind and suns.h.i.+ney youth!

Other than learning about Mo Nian, he also learned why the Dark Forest had gathered the powers . Their reasoning wasn’t that off from what Long Chen had expected .

The Dark Forest was using the Ancient Battlefield and the Forest of Life as bargaining chips to work together with them . Their goal was to hold Pill Valley in check .

In truth, Long Chen was speechless towards their foolishness . Ever since Pill Valley and the powers other than the Righteous path had accepted the Heaven Devouring Forest taking root in the Martial Heaven Continent, the various powers had obtained countless benefits from the Spirit World . The Forest of Life and the Ancient Battlefield had essentially become trial regions for them to temper their disciples .

But did the Dark Forest really think that just that would be enough for these powers to unite with them against Pill Valley? That was just a fantasy . Medicinal pills were the lifeblood of cultivators . What power would turn against Pill Valley?
