Chapter 782 - Lightning Lake True Fire
Chapter 782 – Lightning Lake True Fire
The instant the door was pushed open by An Zheng, a golden light spilled out from inside. The golden light was so dazzling that even An Zheng who was extremely experienced would feel waves of shock from seeing it …
The room was full of Golden-Rank Spirit Stone s. Forget about how many Golden-Rank Spirit Stone s could help improve their physique and cultivation level, just the value of the Golden-Rank Spirit Stone s worth of silver would probably be enough to make a mountain of silver.
An Zheng walked over to take a look, the quality of these Golden-Rank Spirit Stone were all not bad, and a few of them even reached the peak. There were at leashousand of them. These Golden-Rank Spirit Stone were all hoarded here by the Left over the years, so the background of large clans really could not be underestimated. Just this pile of Golden-Rank Spirit Stone alone, arming a strong army would not be a problem.
Even if it was the Helian Family who had planted the flag in the northwest, with their current resources, they would not be able to gather all the Golden-Rank Spirit Stone in this house. Left’s strength was more than just one grade higher than Helian Family’s. However, the similarity between the two families lay in the fact that they had both failed An Zheng.
If they didn’t provoke An Zheng … Of course, An Zheng would not let them off.
Facing sucuge treasure, An Zheng took a deep breath, told himself that he absolutely could not be defeated by greed, and then, after confirming that he wasn’t greedy in any way, happily kept all the Golden-Rank Spirit Stone.
Behind the pile of Golden-Rank Spirit Stone, there was a very ancient looking box. It was made of metal and there were some patterns that An Zheng had never seen before on it. Upon closer inspection, he realized that the patterns were actually a type of writing.
Maybe back then, after Left obtained this thing, he did not know which country the words on it came from, so he placed it in the warehouse. Over the years, it was piled with spirit stones.
An Zheng decided to keep the chest first and continue exploring. However, he had only taken a single step when the voice of the Heaven’s Eyes appeared in his mind.
It is not a fifth grade of the Central Plains, it is noroduct of a Buddhist country in the Western Regions. Based on the shape of the words, it should belong to the prairie culture of ancient times, and should be inferred as the extremely powerful prairie empire … A treasure passed down in the Kingdom of Jinlei. The seal is intact and has not been opened. The things stored inside are unknown.]
It was something that had disappeared from the Kingdom of Jinlie, something that had existed for tens of thousands of years. An Zheng couldn’t help but think of the story Gu Qianye and Chen Shaobai had told him about the Ancient Saints. The saints saved the world, but changed themselves because of power. A few saints had traveled far away to the plains of the Northern Region to create an incomparably powerful country. It was highly likely that this Kingdom of Jinlie had been created by the Saints back then.
An Zheng kept his things first, then walked around and found a hidden door, he climbed onto the Broken Army Sword and cut open the mechanism around the hidden door as usual, after knocking over the door with a kick, An Zheng walked in, and the light inside lit up on its own.
Upon entering, they saw a huge desk, and behind it was a bookshelf. There were many files on the shelves, and it was unknown what was recorded on them. On the table was a long sword covered in dust, its scabbard dull.
The [Broken Purple-Rank Divine Artifact] s have dropped to the peak of the Golden-Rank and cannot be used until it is repaired. With the Stellar Cast Iron and the other four rare materials, it could be repaired. It required the rank of an Artifact Master to be able to operate it. By using a divine tool cauldron combined with purple fire, the middle grade Purple-Rank would be restored. The name of this sword is … God damn it.]
An Zheng’s heart was moved.
He had heard of the Heaven Slaughter Divine Sword before, a weapon that was used by the ancestors of the Left. A few hundred years after the establishment of the Great Xixi State, the cultivators of the Great Xixi reached a terrifying height. Because there was no war throughout the years, cultivators focused on cultivation and also summed up the combat experience they accumulated during the war.
After that, a super strong warrior called Zuo Bufan appeared in Left. That was because for a long period of time, Da Xi was on a rising trend. Regardless of whether it was the power of the country or the martial arts world, they were both recovering or even rising rapidly. In this situation, it gave birth to a strong sense of pride that no matter if it was the people of the Great Western Holy See or the people of the martial world, they all existed.
And this pride had persisted until now.
Zuo Feifan’s accidental acquisition of the God Equipment Heaven’s Killing technique was like adding wings tiger. An Zheng had heard from the Oldman Huo that among the two hundred Purple-Rank Divine Artifact that were passed down, there were very few that could be used to attack. The Heaven Slaughter Sword was passed down from the Primordial Era, and some even speculated that this sword was one of the original magical equipment used by one of the Three Immortal Emperors, the Blue Lotus. Of course, there were also people who said that it was not the Blue Lotus, but Purple Ivy’s.
“Good stuff.”
An Zheng walked over and casually brushed it, and the dust that covered the sword was blown away. The glow on the scabbard began to emit. There was no modification on the scabbard, only a long dragon pattern from beginning to end.
Cha! An Zheng pulled out the Heaven Slaughter Sword.
There were cracks all over it, and the heaviest part of the wound was almost completely broken. An Zheng even heard the mournful wails of the sword in his hand. He didn’t know what kind of fierce battle he had experienced at the time, to actually have damaged a middle grade Purple-Rank divine artifact to such an extent.
That battle was once renowned throughout the world.
Zuo Feifan of the Left went to the Western Regions with the Heaven’s Slaughter Sword to challenge Buddha.
It was during such a special period of time that the cultivators of the Great Xixi would do such a crazy thing. At that time, the Da Xi cultivators were the most respected, making them extremely powerful.
It was not by chance that Zuo Feifan went to Great Thunder Lake Temple in the Western Regions to challenge the Buddha, but rather something that would happen during that special period of time. The ones who challenged the Buddha were not Zuo Bufan, but others as well. Their self-confidence had swelled to an unimaginable level.
An Zheng suddenly felt a kind of power that he was about to release, and his entire person became somewhat at a loss.
Suddenly, a dragon’s roar came out from the sword, followed by tiny purple electric currents that drilled out from the sword and into An Zheng’s body.
A buzzing sound came from An Zheng’s brain, this person’s body seemed to have been blown up!
In just a few seconds, an unstoppable heat rose from An Zheng’s body, and instantly burnt through his clothes. His entire body turned red within a few seconds, and became as red as red-hot iron, shocking everyone’s eyes.
“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!”
Because of this nearly unbearable pain, An Zheng roared towards the sky.
And this time, the electric current on the Heaven Slaughter Sword carried a strong suction force, causing An Zheng to be unable to even let go. More and more purple electric currents surged out from the broken sword body, and crazily fused with An Zheng’s body, as if they had found their way back to their original location.
Initially, An Zheng could still suppress this electric current within his meridians, but very quickly, it broke through the shackles, broke through his meridians, blood vessels and skin muscles.
Small purple electric currents unceasingly drilled into An Zheng’s body like snakes. They seemed to be crazily searching for something.
In less than a minute, An Zheng’s powerful body was riddled with holes by these tiny purple lightning bolts. And the strangest thing was that when all of this happened, the Reverse Scale Armor actually didn’t react at all.
An Zheng felt that even he would not be able to endure it. This kind of grilling, this kind of pain, was even more intense than when An Zheng had placed it in the Phoenix Cooking Pill Furnacnd refined it with purple fire.
Just as An Zheng felt that he was about to collapse, the Heaven’s Eyes voice appeared in his mind.
It was just a few short words, but it shook An Zheng’s mind. Those words were like some kind of magic, causing him to freeze on the spot. It was as if he had forgotten about the attack of the purple lightning.
[Lightning Lake Primordial Fire]
Four words!
An Zheng calmed down suddenly from the intense pain. These four words seemed to have a deep meaning. The pain he was feeling right now was too intense. If he was a normal person, he would have already died. Even if he hadn’t died, he wouldn’t have been able to think about it. Because of the intense pain, An Zheng’s attention was distracted, but he held onto the last bit of clarity in his mind, and tried his best to recall, who said all these things to him?
Qi Tian!
Monk of the Divisions!
An Zheng thought about it. The Lightning Lake’s primordial flames was the true power of the lightning pools within the Western. Back then, Monkey was tricked into going to the Western Regions. At that time, the people of Great Thunder Lake Temple encouraged Monkey on purpose, saying that no one could withstand the lightning pool. Monkey jumped into the lightning pool unwillingly, but ended up with heavy injuries … This power was so strong that even the cultivation beyond the Saint Realm was unable to withstand it, not to mention that Monkey still had the Stones Essence physique. Now that it was An Zheng’s turn, no matter how abnormal his physique was, his cultivation could not be compared with Qi Tian’s at that time.
At that time, Qi Tian could do whatever he wanted in the Inside the Immortal Palace. Other than those few people, he did not have any other opponents. Even so, it was impossible to withstand the tempering of the Lightning Lake’s true fire in the Western Great Thunder Lake Temple.
An Zheng tried his best to use thought to maintain his final bit of consciousness. Once this mind was destroyed, there was a 99% chance that he would be killed by this sudden disaster. That was the lightning pool’s true flame, and it was the lightning pool’s true flame from many, many years ago. Although it could not be compared to when Qi Tian had first entered it, it was still stronger than the lightning pool now.
However, An Zheng’s luck was that this lightning pool’s true flame was only that weak. An Zheng forced himself to calm down and carefully thought about what was going on.
Gradually, his train of thought became clearer and clearer.
A long, long time ago, the most powerful being in the Left, Zuo Feifan, took this Heaven’s Killing Sword and traveled far away to the Western Regions, joining the Great Thunder Lake Temple to challenge Buddha. However, in that battle, he had lost. There weren’t many legends about this incident even on the side of the Buddhist Sect, and since the Great Xi sect had lost, there weren’t many people who would bring it up. Just how far did the two of them fight, and how long did Zuo Feifan persevere, no one could say.
From the cracks on the Heavenly Slaughter Sword, one could deduce just how intense that fierce battle had been. An Zheng knew that Zuo Feifan had died from severe injuries not long after he returned. Ever since then, no one else as powerful as him had appeared in Left.
Therefore, An Zheng conjectured that the lightning pool true fire that was still contained in the Heaven Slaughter Sword was actually the power of Buddha. At that time, the Buddha had defeated Zuo Feifan with the Lightning Lake Primordial Fire, heavily injuring the Heaven’s Killing Sword. The Heaven Slaughter Sword was heavily damaged, and for some reason, Zuo Feifan left very quickly. This energy was sealed within the Heaven Slaughter Sword.
After the Heaven Slaughter Sword was brought back, it was sealed away, so there was nowhere to go for the Lightning Lake’s primordial flames. An Zheng’s body contained the power of lightning, so when An Zheng came into contact with the Heaven’s Killing Sword, the lightning pool true flame within the Heaven’s Killing Sword seemed to have felt the aura of a family as the energy entered An Zheng’s body without being able to stop it.
But An Zheng was not a lightning pool after all, so there was definitely something wrong with the energy after it entered An Zheng’s body, which was why it kept drilling its way into An Zheng’s body. It wasn’t that the energy wanted to kill An Zheng, it was just that … This is not home.
