Chapter 1676: Celestial Lightning Body Blink

Long Chen had a truly brazen thought. When he had subdued the Black Illusion Dragon Flame, he had thought of a certain diagram.

That was a diagram he had almost forgotten about. Back in the Eastern Wasteland, he had entered the Immemorial Path and obtained the diagram. He had asked the Eastern Wasteland Bell, but it had refused to tell him too many details, saying that his cultivation base was too low. It merely said it was a kind of essence of one of the four major elements.

Afterward, the Eastern Wasteland Bell had repaid Long Chen for his help and disappeared. The matter of the diagram was left forgotten and unsettled.

However, when he had worked together with the Pill Fairy to subdue the Black Illusion Dragon Flame, he happened to glimpse a diagram on the ceiling of the underground palace. That diagram was somewhat similar to the diagram from the Immemorial Path.

Regretfully, he hadn’t had time to record it at that time. Shen Bijun had come, and then the palace had exploded.

However, it had served as a reminder. He was now a Soul Transformation expert and no longer the same rookie as back then. If the Eastern Wasteland Bell refused to tell him, he could try to see if he could understand it himself.

Long Chen found himself a private room. However, before entering seclusion, he moved the divine lightning he had swallowed during his tribulation into the primal chaos s.p.a.ce.

Lei Long had never managed to fully refine this divine lightning. However, after being suppressed for so long, the destructive will of the divine lightning had been erased, leaving behind its pure energy for Lei Long to absorb.

Once the lightning was moved, his stomach was free to digest an ocean’s worth of medicinal pills. Huo Long was busy refining the Black Illusion Dragon Flame’s berserk energy, but Long Chen asked it to first help him refine some Soul Transformation Pills. To raise his cultivation base, he would need a huge amount of medicinal pills.

Suddenly, Long Chen thought of the jade tablet he had obtained in the Jade Lake Sacred Land around the time he had killed w.a.n.g Shan. He had yet to investigate it.

“Celestial Lightning Body Blink? It’s actually a lightning attribute movement art.”

Long Chen was stunned. What was recorded in the jade tablet was an extremely ancient lightning movement art. By summoning the power of heavenly lightning to form a lightning domain, you could freely blink anywhere inside with just a thought. There were basically no spatial or temporal limits.

“d.a.m.n, I’ve actually obtained a similar movement art as the human-shaped lightning right before the Devil Abyss erupts?” Back when the Xuantian Dao Sect’s Infernal Devil Abyss had erupted, Long Chen had summoned his heavenly tribulation to block the tide.

In the end, there was a certain human-shaped lightning that had appeared. Its speed had been incredible, and it was only thanks to a reminder from Li Tianxuan that he had managed to defeat it.

This movement art recorded in the jade tablet might be a different method, but it had the same result. By filling the s.p.a.ce around him with thunderforce, he would arrange spiritual runes that could each be used as a tiny lightning transportation formation. In truth, this kind of ability wasn’t speed-based. It depended on using a kind of spatial law.

Previously, in order to raise his speed to its peak, he had come up with his own technique and called it the Lightning Flash Step.

He filled a s.p.a.ce with thunderforce, however, his technique relied on creating spatial faults and then charging through those openings to appear in a corresponding exit within a three-thousand-meter area. Back in the Grand Han, he had used the Lightning Flash Step to kill Sha Guangyan and Ye Qingkuang.

However, not only was the Lightning Flash Step’s range limited, but when he encountered true experts who were unleas.h.i.+ng all their power, their power would compact s.p.a.ce and make any spatial faults he made unstable, so he couldn’t use it.

On the other hand, the Celestial Lightning Body Blink formed a network of spatial channels with lightning runes. It was like a giant web with runic nodes that he could freely move through. Seeing this technique, he finally understood why that human-shaped lightning had been so difficult to deal with.

“The wisdom of the ancients truly isn’t something I can compare to. I didn’t even think of such a method. I’m so stupid.” Long Chen was filled with admiration and shame.

He had wracked his brain before, but had never thought of using lightning runes to form spatial channels to increase his speed. This Celestial Lightning Body Blink was like a light in the dark. It was like he was seeing a whole new sky. It was extremely enlightening to him.

“I really struck gold this time. That b.a.s.t.a.r.d w.a.n.g Shan, I suppose he did at least one good thing before dying.” Long Chen couldn’t help sighing emotionally. If it hadn’t been for w.a.n.g Shan, he wouldn’t have obtained this jade tablet. When it came to killing someone innocent to take their treasure, he really couldn’t do it.

The more he studied this technique, the greater his admiration for the creator grew. At the same time, he realized that creating any masterful magical art required being skilled in many different areas.
