Chapter 366 - 366 The Heavenly Lightning
366 The Heavenly Lightning
“So, you have to work hard to improve your strength.”
“What should I do?” Shen Fei asked.
“The Heavenly Lightning contains the quintessential energy between Heaven and Earth. There are a large number of elements held within it, and these elements are very gentle.
“However, with enough of it, they can become extremely violent, and require meticulous control to absorb them into your bone marrow and turn them into your power.”
Shen Fei nodded. He had never heard of such a powerful technique before.
“After we finish eating, I’ll teach you a set of techniques to control the Heavenly Lightning.”
Qian Yu waved his right hand. A stream of light streaked across the table and shot into Shen Fei’s glabella.
Shen Fei closed his eyes. Immediately, a piece of information appeared in his mind.
[The Wrath of Heaven and Earth!]
Shen Fei opened his eyes and looked at Qian Yu. “Is this move very powerful?”
“Well, you can give it a try.”
Hearing this, Shen Fei nodded. He took a deep breath and sat cross-legged on the sofa. A moment later, the aura around his body suddenly changed. It turned into a sharp and domineering aura.
“The Heavenly Lightning can only fuse with dark-attributed spirit beasts,” Qian Yu said.
Shen Fei nodded. He formed a seal with his hands, and a faint green Qi spread out and condensed around him, forming a sphere.
“This is the Heavenly Lightning. I didn’t expect you to understand it so quickly,” Qian Yu praised.
Immediately after that, his left index finger pointed at Shen Fei’s forehead, and a faint golden Qi went into Shen Fei’s body through his index finger.
Almost immediately, Shen Fei felt a torrent of information rush into his mind. This information was about the usage of the Heavenly Lightning.
Shen Fei’s eyes suddenly opened and flashed like two beacons. His entire temperament became even more fierce.
Then, he slowly stood up, took a step forward with his right foot, and punched out.
In an instant, the spiritual energy around Shen Fei’s body spun wildly, forming a vortex. His fist was at the center of that vortex, emitting a dazzling red light as if it was burning.
“Hah!” Shen Fei shouted loudly and suddenly threw out another punch.
In an instant, a scarlet ripple spread out in all directions from the vortex.
Rumble…!
A loud sound was heard, and Shen Fei’s body was forced back a few steps.
He steadied himself and grimaced. The attack just now was only an ordinary attack. Moreover, the power of this attack was not as powerful as he had imagined.
“Is this the power of the Heavenly Lightning?” Shen Fei muttered to himself.
“Ah, yes. The power of the Heavenly Lightning is a hundred times, or even a thousand times, stronger than you can imagine. If I tell you that the Heavenly Lightning has seven layers to it, and the power of each layer increases exponentially, will you be scared silly?” Qian Yu said with a playful smile.
Shen Fei gasped. “Seven levels? A thousand times?”
Qian Yu shook his head. “Don’t worry, you’re still far from mastering its power.”
Then, Qian Yu took out a pill and handed it to Shen Fei, “Take this pill.”
Shen Fei opened his mouth and swallowed the pill. As soon as it entered his stomach, he felt a trace of heat flow through his meridians and into his spiritual core.
All of this showed that the energy contained in the pill was huge!
Qian Yu continued to exhort, albeit solemnly, “This pill is called a marrow-cleansing pill. The effects are several times stronger than ordinary pills. They improve your aptitude and increase your potential. Your chances of advancing into a high-tier Beastmaster will also greatly increase from now on. I hope you can refine it to become stronger.”
“I understand.” Shen Fei nodded.
Then, he closed his eyes to ponder this information. Gradually, a look of joy appeared on his face.
Just as Qian Yu had said, this medicinal pill released dense energy continuously. He felt his body warm up, and all his pores opened up, as if he was bathing in a hot spring.
“Right, Senior Qian Yu, how is the spirit gathering array?” Shen Fei thought of what happened the last time they met at the wormhole.
He was still uncertain whether it would be enough to stop the exotic beast horde from erupting.
At this point, Qian Yu frowned slightly. He then shook his head. “Shen Fei, actually, the spirit gathering array isn’t able to stop the beast horde.”
Shen Fei frowned at this. He was a little disappointed.
Qian Yu saw Shen Fei’s expression and said seriously, “Shen Fei, I know you’re looking forward to it, but I have to tell you clearly that the spirit gathering array could stop the beast horde, but the effect is not complete. It can only stop them for a month. After that, the exotic beasts will break through.”
“I understand.” Shen Fei nodded. “Senior Qian Yu, if the beast horde erupts again, will the danger be the same as the last time?”
“No, every time an exotic beast horde erupts, it’ll be more powerful than the previous one. The danger will also be greater. After all, the exotic beasts’ reproduction and growth rates have been too fast in the past year,” Qian Yu explained.
Hearing this, Shen Fei’s face revealed a bitter expression. He originally thought that the spirit gathering array could stop the exotic beast horde, but it turned out to be a short-term solution. Once the beast horde completely erupted, the entire empire would be plunged into misery and suffering.
At the thought of this, Shen Fei’s eyes were firm as he said, “We’ll definitely think of a way to stop the beast horde.”
“Yeah.” Qian Yu nodded. “But before that, you have to raise your cultivation as soon as possible.”
“Mm.” Shen Fei pondered for a moment.
After the meal, Qian Yu left. That night, Shen Fei stood in front of the window and looked up at the sky.
There were few stars tonight, and dark clouds covered the sky. It was pitch-black, making the sky seem ominous.
Suddenly, a dazzling white light descended from the sky and landed on the empty space in front of Shen Fei. Shen Fei walked closer to take a look and found that it was a ball of light and shadow, a phantom formed by spiritual power.
“Qian Yu had said that the Heavenly Lightning can transform into all kinds of martial arts and battle techniques. Now, it seems like it’s similar to a projection,” Shen Fei muttered.
“Heavenly Lightning!”
In an instant, a long sword that flickered with a dazzling white light appeared out of thin air and floated there.
“This is the Heavenly Lightning?” Shen Fei looked at the sword in front of him dubiously.
...
The Heavenly Lightning should have been a cluster of blazing electric arcs that streaked through the air like a lightning dragon.
Although the longsword in front of him seemed very strong, it was far inferior to the usual form of Heavenly Lightning.
“No matter, I’ll practice with it first,” Shen Fei mumbled. Then, he held his sword and slashed toward the sky.
