Bang!
Frantic peals of lightning erratically resounded within Mu Chen’s body, while a golden-coloured splendor was seemingly present throughout his internals. Even his flesh, blood and even bones were stained by this golden colour, appearing as if they were casted from gold.
This golden colour continued to crazily corrode away Mu Chen’s internals. Within the golden colour was minute spots of golden-coloured lightning sparks. Those golden-coloured lightning sparks were extremely minute; however, they contained extremely frightening energies within them. Any place that they travelled past would cause a state of destruction within Mu Chen’s body, as if that area would explode apart.
Intense pain continued to crazily wrack throughout his body.
For his Thunder God’s Physique to grow stronger, Mu Chen would need to endure extremely intense pain and suffering for it to progress. However, upon every successful progression, he would possess a strength that would cause people to feel drunk. This was something that would cause countless people to love and envy him, since other people would be unable to abandon anything just for the sake of the pursuit of power.
Similarly, Mu Chen was unable to abandon his pursuit of strength. Therefore, he could only go all-out and crazily activate his Thunder God’s Physique. Within his body, black lightning sparks surfaced within his flesh and blood, continuously enveloping the golden light in an attempt to refine it.
However, although the black lightning contained a portion of the Divine Black Lightning’s strength, the golden lightning sparks were clearly more frightening. Even with something as strong as the Divine Black Lightning appeared somewhat weak in front of them. Thinking about it, the Divine Black Lightning was, after all, the Lightning Tribulation that Spiritual Beasts would have to pass when they break through to become Divine Beasts. That kind of tribulation was somewhat similar to the “Three Sovereign Disasters” that the humans would have to pass through to breakthrough into the Sovereign realm. Contrary to that, those golden lightning sparks had originated from a Heavenly Sovereign. In front of an existence like that, the Black Divine Lightning would appear akin to ordinary lightning with a slight increase in power.
Fortunately, what was corroding Mu Chen’s flesh and blood was, after all, the remnant blood essence of the Heavenly Sovereign. Although it was strong, its followup wasn’t strong, which allowed him to endure, before slowly refining and absorbing it at the end!
Therefore, Mu Chen furiously activated his Thunder God’s Physique to its utmost limit, and slivers of black lightning sparks pierced through his flesh and blood, rushing forth towards the golden sparks wave after wave. Although they had surged forth time and time again, they were corroded and assimilated by the golden lightning sparks. However, during that process, there would also be minute bits of the golden light breaking apart and dissipate away, before being greedily absorbed by Mu Chen’s flesh and blood.
As they absorbed those broken up flecks of golden light, a pale golden colour started to faintly appear on Mu Chen’s flesh and blood, while an indescribable tyrannical and overpowering feeling started to faintly radiate from him.
After enduring the bout of intense pain and suffering, Mu Chen started to gradually adapt to it, before proceeding to focus his mind and spirit. Using this long drawn-out method, he slowly continued to break the incomparably golden lightning sparks apart, bit by bit. After absorbing the outer parts, the lightning liquid, which formed the Lightning God’s Lotus Mu Chen was sitting on, started to crackle with black lightning sparks as strands of Divine Black Lighting continued to unceasingly pour into Mu Chen’s body, helping him consume the energies of the golden lightning sparks.
Under this attack from the inside and outside, the painful expression present on Mu Chen’s face started to gradually fade away, while the intense battle raging within his body started to shift towards his control.
Time quickly elapsed, with a day’s worth of time gradually ticking past.
Within this day, Mu Chen sat within the Lightning God’s Lotus, not moving a single inch. As the sparks of black lightning continued to radiate from the lotus, it seemingly engulfed the entirety of Mu Chen’s body. As the rays of brilliance radiated from the lightning sparks slowly squirmed about, astonishing energy fluctuations radiated from them.
Humm!
All of a sudden, faint golden rays of brilliance slowly shone from the black lightning sparks surrounding Mu Chen’s body. Under the golden glow, those black rays of brilliance appeared to be like snow that had clashed against lava, rapidly melting into it.
As this happened, Mu Chen’s body surfaced from under the black lightning sparks. However, at this moment, a faint golden glow covered the entirety of his body, appearing akin to a layer of gold from afar, looking similar to the golden bodies of those buddhas. Furthermore, Mu Chen’s body had become much stronger than the day before!
After persisting awhile, the golden glow started to gradually disperse away, revealing the black rays of brilliance radiating from the lightning arcs that had condensed on Mu Chen’s chest. As the lightning arcs extended out, they started to transform into a lightning rune!
Diplo Rune Lightning Physique!
After refining and absorbing that remnant blood essence, Mu Chen’s Thunder God’s Physique had finally progressed, reaching the level of Diplo Rune Lightning Physique!
Mu Chen’s tightly shut eyes started to slowly open at this moment. As he did so, golden brilliance seemed to flash within those black pupils of his, appearing extremely sharp and penetrative.
Lowering his head, he took a look at the lightning rune imprinted on his chest that was gradually dissipating away, while a look of satisfaction surfaced within his eyes. It was already hard to cultivate a Body Refining Divine Art, with the Thunder God’s Physique adding another notch of difficulty on top of that. After starting to cultivate the complete version of the Thunder God’s Physique, Mu Chen had not once stopped in cultivating and training it. However, as of now, just by relying on that sliver of blood essence from the Heavenly Sovereign, he had genuinely reach the level of Diplo Rune Lightning Physique.
Stepping off from the Lightning God’s Lotus, Mu Chen waved his sleeve, keeping the lotus back. Clenching his fingers, he could feel the tyrannical power surging to near the point of eruption within his body, causing him to grin uncontrollably in happiness. Compared the Mono Rune Lightning Physique, the Diplo Rune Lightning Physique was truly more much tyrannical. According to his estimates, even an expert who had pass through their Human Body Disaster would truly not be able to compete with him on the aspect of brute strength! The Thunder God’s Physique still possessed its formidable aspects.
