Chapter 742: Battle Through The Nine Clouds

“I suppose I could do that now, cultivate the Innate Lightning?” Zhong Yue murmured.

Xin Huo declined this idea right away, “This is not Innate Lightning but Heaven Lightning, a type of lightning that contains innate might. You will run into real Innate Lightning, later on, these are the real deal and their power is much more intense than Heaven Lightning.”

“This is not Innate Lightning?” shouted the shocked Zhong Yue.

Now, the first level of the Ancient Lei Zhe posed no more threat to him and only the Heaven Lightning that contained a semblance of innate might could harm him. It was also incredibly hard to cultivated using it as well.

This was because it had only been just a short while since he started cultivating the [Desolate Lightning Heavenly Furnace Scripture]. The furnace in his body had not been cultivated to a high-enough degree to be able to smite such lighting.

This left him with two options; one was to continuously cultivate the other lightning to fortify the furnace in his mortal body and increase its power, whereas the other option was to continue dwelling into the [Desolate Lightning Heavenly Furnace Scripture] to deepen his attainments.

When Xin Huo controlled Zhong Yue’s body in the Pure Yang Lighting Tribulation, he swallowed half of the lighting tribulation, shocking the entire Wei Shen Six Path World. But this feat was only possible because Xin Huo’s attainments on the [Desolate Lightning Heavenly Furnace Scripture] were very deep. His deep understanding of this art was in large part due to the fact that it was the creator of this art that taught it to him.

If Xin Huo directly shared the third Sui Sovereign’s knowledge and ideas of this art to Zhong Yue, he also would’ve immediately possessed the same level of understanding on this art.

But while the benefit of doing it this way was obvious, Zhong Yue would lose the opportunity to gain a truly deep understanding of everything beneath the surface if he didn’t have any roadblocks.

If he started from the basics, it might be very slow but the advantage of that was that he would know everything as he progressed. As he gradually learned more and more about [Desolate Lightning Heavenly Furnace Scripture], his understanding of this art would deepen and he would obtain his own unique understanding on this art that would benefit to his growth far more than when compared to using the Sui Sovereign’s insights.

Zhong Yue chose to work between these two extremes; while he devoured the lightning to strengthen the mortal body furnace, he also determinedly learned as much as he could about the [Desolate Lightning Heavenly Furnace Scripture], relying on this art to battle with the lightning in Ancient Lei Zhe to deepen his understanding of this art.

A few days later, he finally cultivated the first lightning that contained innate might.

Right after he digested the lightning, he could feel a sliver of Innate Lightning Qi flowing in his body.

His mind shifted and he thought, Seems not bad at all. Perhaps I can cultivate the fifth innate Qi this way!

However, he did not rush into the second level recklessly but instead, stayed at the first level and searched for even more Heaven Lightning to merge into his body.

As he stayed back to improve himself even further, his body and energy strength hiked and along with his Yuan Shen, his body bore the presence of Pure Yang elements. Only when he felt his improvements plateau did he enter the second level.

The entirety of the second level was ravaged by ruthless Heaven Lightning with innate presence. As soon as Zhong Yue entered the second floor, he was struck by countless Heaven Lightning and was left with wounds everywhere!

There was just too much Heaven Lightning here and among these Heaven Lightning, some contained innate presence much stronger than the others, but as they were shrouded by the other more ordinary Heaven Lightning, Zhong Yue failed to notice them.

Suddenly, a rumbling came from the skies and Zhong Yue couldn’t help but let out a shout as a lighting waterfall rained down on him.

In the lighting waterfall, countless Heaven Lightning struck towards him like a tsunami. Zhong Yue bit his lips and as he waved his hands, he hurled skills everywhere to defend himself but he was still being overwhelmed by the Heaven Lightning effortlessly!

Zheng—

He unsheathed his saber right away, channeled the Innate Yin Qi into his divine saber, cast the [Moon Tide] and launched an attack that charged straight towards the waterfall!

With just a strike, the overwhelming waterfall split into two pieces!

However, he only temporarily unshackled himself from the dangerous situation before even more Heaven Lightning swarmed into the destroyed lightning waterfall. The split waterfall returned to its original state, if not even stronger and charged right back at Zhong Yue.

My innate Qi can only last for three moves and it will deplete after that but the Heaven Lightning here is endless. My energy can’t last forever!

His eyes flashed as he stared at the Heaven Lightning swarming towards him; these Heaven Lightning contained various totem carvings and among each Heaven Lightning, there were different totem carvings and even if he tried his best to calculate, he would be smitten into ashes by the Heaven Lightning.

If Si Ming could pull it off, then so can I!

He let out a shriek, sucked in at least ten Heaven Lightning into his stomach and forcefully melted them with the mortal body furnace. Without flinching at all, Zhong Yue charged back at the lighting waterfall.

Zhong Yue’s energy rumbled for a second and in an instant, the four innate Qi flew out from his body, merged into his sabers and formed the [Tai Chi Art] before it shrunk and flew right into the lightning waterfall.

It was the third style of the [God Slaying Three Styles] — [Dao Crusher]!

The power of [Dao Crusher] exploded, the black and white [Tai Chi Art] expanded with the great sun and great moon circling around within the celestial and demonic Qi, slicing the waterfall apart as countless saber Qi went straight towards the waterfall’s core and decimated its source!

Without breaking the core and its source, this lightning waterfall will not cease reforming, thus, Zhong Yue boldly went straight after the source of the waterfall!

In the air, twin dragons roared while the lighting and thunder rumbled. The two terrifying powers clashed together and an intense battle broke out!

Zhong Yue roared and turned into a giant with his hands raised above his head, lifting the Tai Chi Picture straight towards the skies. The [Dao Crusher] was much more energy-consuming than the other two moves in the [God Slaying Three Styles]. Zhong Yue clearly felt that his energy was depleting at an alarming speed and that it would not take long until he wears his energy out!

At the same time, the pressure on him amplified as if he were really holding on a waterfall that fell from the skies.

Zhong Yue gritted his teeth hard and his veins bulged like dragons slithering beneath his skins when he charged right into the Nine Skies.

The Tai Chi Picture in his [Dao Crusher] that possessed even more intense saber Qi destroyed the endless lightning in his path. Thunder rumbled out as the lightning shattered and dispersed.

His body was cultivated into a terrifying extent; with the furnace in his body and Yuan Shen that continuously pumped tremendous power to him, he had sufficient power to breach through this lightning waterfall!

Finally, Zhong Yue suddenly felt the pressure pressing against him vanished all in a sudden. He had single-handedly destroyed the obstacle in front of him and crushed the source of the lightning waterfall!

With the source destroyed, the lightning waterfall disappeared and the lightning dispersed towards each direction like snakes. There was even one tiny lightning that was extraordinarily bright among them.

“Catch that lightning! That’s an Innate Lightning Qi!” shouted Xin Huo right away.

Zhong Yue’s head suddenly enlarged and he bit towards the Innate Lightning Qi, swallowing not only the Innate Lightning Qi but also the Heaven Lightning around it.

With his current giant form, he was incredibly big already and now, his head was even larger, hence, he looked even horrifying like a god that stood high amongst the endless sea of Heaven Lightning.

This lightning waterfall is something good!

Upon obtaining the Innate Lightning Qi, Zhong Yue was happy and surprised. The Innate Lightning Qi appeared to be very small but the power contained in it was much stronger than a thousand rays of Heaven Lightning!

Too bad there was only one.

As soon as this thought appeared in his mind, rumbling thunder echoed out and Zhong Yue was completely stunned upon seeing what appeared before him. Lightning waterfalls rained down from the lofty sky one after another, and each and every one of them came rushing towards him like tornados!

There were at least 10,000 lightning waterfalls!

His mind was still blank. If it were just one or two, he could still stand his ground against them, but with at least 10,000 of them, without a doubt, he will be killed!

Guess it’s impossible to hold back now, I have to use my full strength now!

Zhong Yue triggered the Innate Fuxi Yuan Shen, turning into the Fuxi True Form and his power surged right away while his divine heart, bones, blood, and eyes got activated respectively!

This was his full form, a form that he had not been using much ever since leaving the Ancestral Star. Now, with him being in Lei Zhe, a place completely friendly towards Fuxi, he could finally unleash his full strength without worrying about anything

“Come at me with all you got!” murmured Zhong Yue with the saber in his hand.

A lightning waterfall flew straight towards him, trembling his body and Zhong Yue cut the lightning waterfall in half with just a swing. The disappearance of the first lightning waterfall then marked the beginning of the new barrage; the remaining lightning waterfall charged towards Zhong Yue and with a saber in his hands and another saber in the hands that grew out from his back, he swung his sabers towards the raging lightning waterfall and destroyed them one after another.

Suddenly, his divine third eyes opened and shot a laser that sliced through a few lightning waterfalls before he launched the Innate Yin and Yang Qi towards the lightning waterfall, crushing one after another lightning waterfall. As soon as he decimated quite a few lightning waterfalls, he retracted his Innate Yin and Yang Qi back into his eyes to prevent any wastage of energy.

In his true form, he had tremendous control over every movement; his actions were so precise to the point that there was not even a single iota of wasted energy and stamina.

However, the lightning waterfalls were just overwhelming and even in his full form, the injuries only continued to mount on his already battered body.

If he had awakened his innate dragon scales, he would be able to use them like mirrors to deflect the lightning waterfalls’ attacks and avoid injury.

He fought his way right into the lofty sky and battled fiercely against the rampaging lightning waterfall, lighting up the skies with his saber lights.

As the fight progressed, the sources of the many lightning waterfalls shattered and he devoured the many Innate Lighting Qi, converting them all into part of his energy through melting them with the furnace in his body.

The light wheels behind Zhong Yue’s head spun and channeled the power of the six great secret realms, utilizing the Six Path Reincarnations to constantly convert the power element as Zhong Yue reveled in an astonishingly intense fight. Moments later, the one-man war on the lofty skies stopped and everything returned to calm.

A panting Zhong Yue stabbed his sabers into the ground, holding onto them for support. The lightning waterfalls in the second level were all destroyed by him and he had devoured each and all the Innate Lighting Qi in this level.

Xin Huo, on the other hand, was at a complete loss for words at this scene.

The many lightning waterfalls here were prepared for the hundred thousand Fuxi young generations but he crushed them all single-handedly…. Did he not know that he had already passed the test after destroying one lightning waterfall?

The little flame thought, Oh well, guess I shouldn’t tell him that or he might get big-headed.

Zhong Yue then released his Fuxi True Form and rested his sabers on his shoulders. He walked towards the third level as he said with resolution, “Do you think I will believe it? I’m already not as good as Si Ming but to not even compare to the other Fuxis?”
