Chapter 727 - Demon Heart Lightning Lotus
Lingering echoes of wars still enveloped the heavens and earth, but the momentum was already going towards the Great Havenlaw Domain. Under their war cries, they were like ferocious tigers that had descended the mountain, a force that could not be stopped. As for the Hundred Battles Domain, due to the defeat of Qin Tiangang and Qin Ling, their morale dropped and lost their will to fight, turning into a mess.
The result of this battle had already been determined.
Mu Chen and Nine Nether stood in the air, but they did not take any action again. They left the clean-up job to the other forces, whereas they lead the Nine Nether Troop and took control of the Demonic Lightning Mountain.
This was their spoils of war.
The other forces had no objection of the Nine Nether Palace occupying it because they knew that the Nine Nether Palace’s objective had been the Demonic Lightning Sect right from the beginning, and it was also the Nine Nether Palace that seized the most win in this war.
Those with power would naturally want to take a bigger pie. It was a common sense that everyone knew in the Skylaw Continent.
After taking over the Demonic Lightning Mountain, Nine Nether had directly led Mu Chen, Tang Bing and Tang Rou to the treasury. Generally speaking, sects and factions would gather their treasures there, that was the same for the most important resource, the Sovereign Spiritual Liquid.
As expected, there was a Spiritual Array guarding the treasury, but it could not halt Nine Nether’s steps. Only a single wave of her hand was required to destroy the bronze door of the treasury.
Buzz!
As the bronze door collapsed, a flow of pure Spiritual Energy was pouring out like current, causing even the atmosphere in this place to thicken.
Nine Nether went in first, with Mu Chen closely following behind her. Upon entering, they saw a glittering current that looked like a great python coiling in the treasury with a pure Spiritual Energy fluctuation being endlessly emitted.
All of the Sovereign Spiritual Liquid was gathered here.
Generally speaking, the Sovereign Spiritual Liquid of a sect wouldn’t be contained in a Mustard Seed Bracelet to be carried around so easily, but they would store it with a special Spiritual Array. Because this way, they could perfectly maintain the purification of the Sovereign Spiritual Liquid. It was also for this reason that Mu Chen’s party wasn’t afraid that the Sovereign Spiritual Liquid kept in the Demonic Lightning Sect would be carried away.
Furthermore, not even Qin Tiangang thought that they would lose this war from the start, so he did not do any of the necessary work.
“Looks like the majority of the Sovereign Spiritual Liquid is well-maintained.” Mu Chen smiled. Judging from the looks of it, even if the Demonic Lightning Sect had taken some of the Sovereign Spiritual Liquid due to being cautious, there was still a major portion left behind.
From the side, Tang Bing’s indifferent face instantly flushed red the moment she stepped into the treasury. Her eyes turned red as she looked at the torrential strips formed by Sovereign Spiritual Liquids.
Looking at her appearance, Nine Nether smile and lightly patted Tang Bing’s shoulder. “Xiao Bing’er, give it a count. In the future, we will not need to be so tight on our pockets.”
This was the first time Mu Chen had seen such an intoxicated expression on Tang Bing’s usually indifferent face and couldn’t help teasing, “The other forces have also helped quite a bit, shall we give some to them?”
“No!” Tang Bing’s eyes beamed with a vicious light as she continued, “Our Nine Nether Palace has been spending our days with a tight waistband, how can we have the surplus to give any to them?! If you want to split it with them, why don’t you split me up first!”
Hearing her words, Mu Chen couldn’t help laughing. He found Tang Bing to be very cute at this moment.
Seeing his teasing smile, Tang Bing came to realise that she was being made a fool of. Immediately, her face turned red as she furiously stared at Mu Chen.
“If you dare to bully Xiao Bing’er, be careful. The Nine Nether Troop might revolt.”
Nine Nether also rolled her eyes at Mu Chen as she embraced Tang Bing’s slim waist. “But, rest assured, even if he has to split himself, he will not be willing to split you up.”
“Big Sister Nine Nether!” Hearing Nine Nether’s teases, Tang Bing’s face grew even redder.
Mu Chen gave two dry laughs and no longer dared to dwindle on this topic. He immediately turned his head, finding an excuse to check out the treasury. A brief moment later, he strode towards the depths and stopped in a corner. His gaze fell onto the stone platform in one corner. There were several glittering jade boxes on the stone platforms with scrolls enveloped with lightning.
Mu Chen waved his hand. Spiritual Energy swept out and erased the remaining Spiritual Energy barrier on the stone platform and made a grab, which followed with a scroll landing in his hand.
He swept a glance on the scroll and saw three faintly discernible lightning words.
Demonic Lightning Physique.
This scroll must be the Demonic Lightning Physique that Qin Ling had cultivated, a lightning-attributed Body Refining Divine Art.
Mu Chen shut his eyes as he slightly study the Demonic Lightning Physique, but shook his head thereafter. He realised that even though it was a lightning-attributed Body Refining Divine Art, it wasn’t as profound as the Lightning God’s Physique.
Furthermore, the Lightning God’s Physique could refine the physique more in depth, laying down a solid foundation for him to cultivate an even more powerful Body Refining Divine Art in the future. It was something that made the Demonic Lightning Physique inferior.
Mu Chen casually threw the scroll into the Mustard Seed Bracelet and briefly proceeded to inspect the other scrolls. He realised that they were all lightning-attribute Divine Arts but none of them caught his eyes.
After looking for a long time, he shook his head in disappointment. Just when he was about to leave, his gaze suddenly shook and drifted on a stone platform beside him. On the black stone platform, there was a piece of grey bamboo. On the bamboo, there were lightning runes that could be faintly seen. However, the colour of the bamboo was dull and dark, it didn’t seem to look all that special.
But due to his senses, Mu Chen still made a suction force with his hand towards the grey bamboo. He then injected Spiritual Energy in to retrieve the hidden information.
Demon Heart Lightning Lotus, using the Nether Demon Heart Lightning as material, combined with a special refinery method…
A brief moment later, Mu Chen slowly opened his tightly shut eyes with a smear of astonishment. Because he realised that the information contained in this bamboo wasn’t any ordinary Divine Art, but the refining method of an item called the Demon Heart Lightning Lotus.
The Demon Heart Lightning Lotus was an explosive Divine Artifact that could only be used once. Furthermore, it further required the Nether Demon Heart Lightning as material to refine it. But naturally, since the requirement was so harsh, the might of it was also very powerful. It’s recorded that if it explodes, it could even make a Fifth Grade Sovereign watch out.
But it was only the power of one, if ten of them could be produced and thrown, even Fifth Grade Sovereigns could only run from them.
“I never expected such a treasure to be in the Demonic Lightning Sect.”
Mu Chen’s gaze was filled with astonishment. If what was recorded is the truth, then this Demonic Lightning Sect had a powerful weapon, so why didn’t they use it before?
A breezy fragrance came from the rear as Nine Nether walked over. Seeing her arrival, Mu Chen handed the bamboo over and asked the doubt he had in his heart.
“It’s actually the Demon Heart Lightning Lotus…”
But Nine Nether seemed to have heard of the name of this ferocious weapon, since her face slightly changed. Shortly after, she slightly frowned her brows. “It’s not that Qin Tiangang doesn’t want to use it, it is that they have yet to refine it…”
“They have yet to refine it?” Mu Chen was stunned. In the Demonic Lightning Mountain, there was a Demonic Lightning Abyss, where the Demonic Earth Lightning was born underground. Furthermore, the Demonic Earth Lightning was the breeding grounds for the Nether Demon Heart Lightning. Could it be that after all these years, the Demonic Lightning Sect wasn’t able to find the Nether Demon Heart Lightning?
“Don’t think that the Nether Demon Heart Lightning is everywhere.” Nine Nether gently shook her head as she continued, “A special lightning that can be comparable to the Undying Flames, the power of it is even stronger than the Divine Black Lightning. So it isn’t impossible that the Demonic Lightning Sect has yet to find it.”
Mu Chen was a little speechless. Although he knew that the Nether Demon Heart Lightning was rare, he did not expect it to be that rare…
“Since we have taken over the Demonic Lightning Sect, we will have a brief resting period. Later, we will go take a look at the Demonic Lightning Abyss.” Nine Nether said as her eyes rolled.
Mu Chen nodded his head. Aside from Sovereign Spiritual Liquids, the Demonic Lightning Abyss within the Demonic Lightning Sect was their reason for targeting the Demonic Lightning Sect.
When the two of them came out, Tang Bing welcomed them with her face flushed red. Her eyes were filled with unconcealable excitement. It looked like she was very satisfied with this harvest.
“Big Sister Nine Nether, there should be a rough estimation of 130,000 Sovereign Spiritual Liquids here. There are also many Divine Artifacts and Divine Arts. If all of them are to be converted into Sovereign Spiritual Liquids, it should fetch 60,000-70,000.”
Hearing Tang Bing’s report, even Mu Chen was a little speechless. The income of their Nine Nether Palace was only 10,000 Sovereign Spiritual Liquid a year, and right now, there were over 130,000 in the Demonic Lightning Sect treasury. Such a harvest was completely capable of swiftly building up their Nine Nether Palace.
Nine Nether couldn’t help smiling as well. “Now we have solved our desperate situation.”
Their Nine Nether Palace had spent their days too tight in the past, they had to depend on Mu Chen to take out Sovereign Spiritual Liquids to survive. Now that they had gotten a huge sum, it had instantly eased the depleting Nine Nether Palace’s store.
“Get someone to arrange the things here. We will remain stationed here for the time being,” said Nine Nether.
“Yes!” Tang Bing sweetly acknowledged.
Looking at her response, Nine Nether gently flicked her fingers on Tang Bing’s forehead, then walked out of the treasury together with Mu Chen and briefly pondered, before moving towards the depths of the Demonic Lightning Sect. They could sense that there were violent raging lightning fluctuations coming from the depths.
Deep in the Demonic Lightning Sect
Mu Chen and Nine Nether’s figures appeared in the sky and they directed their gazes down. It was a mountain with a massive crack, measuring roughly a thousand feet. The depths could not be seen as a rumbling thunderous noise constantly came from the depths, causing even the ground to slightly tremble.
A bizarre lightning energy shocked out as well.
This was their target, the Demonic Lightning Abyss!
