In the bottomless lightning ocean at the depths of the Demonic Lightning Abyss.

Mu Chen and Nine Nether were looking at this black ocean of lightning with grave expressions. Although the lightning ocean looked calm, both of them could clearly sense the violence hidden underneath that calmness. None of them knew what terrifying thing existed deep within the abyss.

“Let’s try going together,” said Nine Nether. She would naturally not let Mu Chen enter such a dangerous place alone.

Hearing her words, Mu Chen did not refute her and gently nodded his head. He no longer hesitated and his figure moved, turning into a streak of light as he flew towards the black lightning ocean with Nine Nether, who was wrapped in purple flames, closely following behind him.

Splash!

Noise that sounded like splashes of water came from the vast lightning ocean as the two of them charged into the ocean, one of them in the front while the other following at the back, and disappeared into the darkness. The scene made it seem as if they were devoured by the huge mouth of darkness.

Rumble!

When the two of them entered the lightning ocean, violent roars of lightning swept over with intense vibrations. The most powerful ability of the Demonic Earth Lightning was vibration, vibration that could even tear the earth apart.

Although the two of them could deal with it, there were ripples on the Spiritual Energy barrier that enveloped them.

Mu Chen swept his gaze around as blackness filled his eyeballs. Because of the Demonic Earth Lightning, his Spiritual Energy perception was very limited. Thus, searching for the Nether Demon Heart Lightning in this place was similar to searching for a needle in the ocean.

Since he had already come, he had to give it a try, no matter how hard it was.

Bearing this thought, Mu Chen and Nine Nether started making their way towards the depths of the lightning ocean. Logically speaking, since the Nether Demon Heart Lightning was a level higher than the Demonic Earth Lightning, it would naturally be in the area where Demonic Earth Lightning was gathering the most if it was to form.

Rumble!

Violent thunder constantly rang out in the lightning ocean as Mu Chen’s party of two swiftly streaked their way across. The Spiritual Energy light circulated around them and became the only source of light in the dark lightning ocean.

As the two of them got deeper, they also started to sense that the vibrations coming from the surroundings were getting stronger, which forced them to slow down their speed.

However, even as time passed, they still couldn’t sense the fluctuations that belonged to the Nether Demon Heart Lightning.

The two of them slowed down and exchanged a glance, along with gentle sighs. Looks like it was as they had expected, searching for the Nether Demon Heart Lightning in this location was an extremely tough matter. No wonder even the Demonic Lightning Sect couldn’t get their hands on it after so many years.

“The deeper we go, the stronger the lightning will get. At that time, I’m afraid that even we might not be able to take it.” Nine Nether said with a heavy expression.

Mu Chen gently nodded his head. He had already come to an understanding that they might not even find the Nether Demon Heart Lightning even with one or two years of searching.

But aside from this, what other effective method was there?

“The Demonic Earth Lightning here is interfering with our Spiritual Energy senses, so we can’t search any further.” Nine Nether said helplessly, “If we can block the interference coming from the Demonic Earth Lightning, only then can our search be much easier.”

Nine Nether was just casually speaking those words. The Demonic Earth Lightning here was extremely violent and filled with offensive characteristics, so it was filled with rejection for foreign objects. With their strength, it was impossible for them to block it.

Hearing her words, Mu Chen frowned his brows. Indeed, as Nine Nether had said earlier, there was only one way for them to look for the Nether Demon Heart Lightning in this sort of place, using the Demonic Earth Lightning as a medium. However, how can the Demonic Earth Lightning, which was filled with offensive characteristics, be willing to be used by them? It was a question that some pondering was needed.

Seeing Mu Chen falling into his thoughts, Nine Nether did not disrupt him, since she truly had no other methods.

After being silent for a moment, Mu Chen said, “I will try using the Lightning God’s Physique.”

Finishing his words, the Spiritual Energy barrier around him faded away. His body swiftly turned into dazzling lightning as the Demonic Earth Lightning blew over onto his body.

Boom! Boom!

But this time, Mu Chen’s idea had come to a failure as well. Because the Demonic Earth Lightning showed no signs of turning gentle because of the lightning energy coming from his body. The violent vibrations of Demonic Earth Lightning were heavily slammed against his body. Even with the strength of his current body, Mu Chen still felt the qi and blood in his body being disrupted.

Watching from the side, Nine Nether immediately used her Undying Flames to guard Mu Chen and said with her brows slightly frowned, “No, even if you have cultivated the Lightning God’s Physique, it doesn’t mean that you can negate all lightning energies.”

There were all sorts of lightning energies in this world and they possessed different attributes as well. So Mu Chen clearly could not depend on the Lightning God’s Physique to negate the damage caused by lightning energies.

Mu Chen bitterly smiled, his previous intention was to use the Lightning God’s Physique with the hope that it could at least lessen the offensive characteristics coming from the Demonic Earth Lightning. But from the looks of it right now, this was just him indulging in his fantasy.

“Even the Lightning God’s Physique is useless…”

Mu Chen muttered to himself with his brows tightly locked. After a brief moment later, an idea flashed in his mind as he recalled that a Divine Art that he had cultivated in the past but rarely used…

Lightning Controlling Art.

Back then, in the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, the Northern Sea Dragon had imparted a Divine Art to him. It was a rather special Divine Art. It was said that it could communicate with every lightning energy in the world, and directly attract the lightning from the heavens. But this Divine Art was very limited in the use of fighting, so Mu Chen rarely used it. But right now, it appears that it could solve his desperate situation.

“I’ll try again.”

Mu Chen said to Nine Nether as he quickly sat down with his eyes closed. His hands were swiftly forming a mysterious seal as fixed his position, like an old monk in meditation.

Along with Mu Chen’s heart gradually calming down, his thoughts were quietly spreading out and carefully attempting to come in contact with the Demonic Earth Lightning.

A bizarre ripple came from Mu Chen’s intent. It was the Lightning Controlling Art.

The ripples waved out in circles as they spread out. Thereafter, a bizarre scene gradually appeared. The violent Demonic Earth Lightning that was initially fluctuating around the both of them was gradually calming down.

Nine Nether was also watching this scene in shock.

That fellow really succeeded?

Mu Chen’s tightly shut eyes slowly opened at this time, his gaze was also filled with pleasant surprise. The Lightning Controlling Art was so magical that it was beyond his expectations. Although he couldn’t suddenly control the Demonic Earth Lightning here, it had at least given him some communication ability. At the very least, the Demonic Earth Lightning was no longer rejecting and unleashing violent attacks at them.

Next, he would have to use the Demonic Earth Lightning as a medium and control it with his intent to search with unimaginable speed in this terrifying ocean.

Mu Chen shut his eyes again as his intent quietly attached to the Demonic Earth Lightning and swiftly spread out…

Nine Nether stood beside Mu Chen, keeping him protected. Although the spreading of intent wasn’t visible to the eyes, she could sense something spreading out in the lightning ocean like a beam of light streaking across the horizon.

As the intent swept over, thunder constantly roared. But fortunately, the Demonic Earth Lightning would not attack Mu Chen’s intent due to the Lightning Controlling Art. Otherwise, his feeble and weak intent would have long been destroyed by the violent Demonic Earth Lightning.

Countless scenes rapidly flashed in Mu Chen’s mind but they were still pitch-black. There wasn’t any abnormal fluctuation, but Mu Chen wasn’t anxious. He condensed his intent and continued to search…

Time slowly passed by in the process of the search.

This sort of search was extremely dry and dull, but Mu Chen did not relax in the slightest as he cautiously differentiated the fluctuations that came in an attempt to search for his target hidden deep in the lightning ocean…

However, there still weren't any results.

One day… two days… four days…

As time passed, four days had already passed in the blink of an eye. During these four days, Mu Chen’s figure was like a stone statue without any movements, his tightly shut eyes had not opened once.

And Nine Nether had also quietly guarded beside him for four days. But as time passed, her fists were quietly clenching together. Could it be that they still couldn’t find the Nether Demon Heart Lightning even with this?

She turned her head a little and looked at the handsome face of the young man whose eyes were shut. That face had already shed off the initial young and tender look, and was gradually starting to show the fine lines of unswerving determination. His tightly pursed lips were still that stubborn.

“Sigh.”

Nine Nether gently sighed.

Her sigh entered Mu Chen’s ears, which caused his figure to tremble as a smear of wild joy abruptly rose on his tensed face.

Because as his intent stretched out, he finally sensed some abnormal fluctuation. Furthermore, he could sense that it was in an area that not even the Demonic Earth Lightning dared to get close to, as if they were fearing it.

Rumble!

But just as Mu Chen was drooling at that mysterious region, there was a thunder roar that sounded like the howling of ghosts that abruptly resounded in his heart. His body jolted and his face turned pale, all his intent was completely shattered.

But at the moment before his intent was shattered, he vaguely saw a tattered stone tablet in the darkness…

Mu Chen abruptly opened his eyes as cold sweat dripped down from his forehead. He held onto his chest as complex thoughts frantically surged in his mind. It was so much so that even the Spiritual Energy in his body showed signs of going out of control.

An icy hand was placed on his back as gentle Spiritual Energy swiftly poured in, suppressing the Spiritual Energy in his body that was going out of control.

“What is it?” Nine Nether asked nervously.

Mu Chen panted two breaths before looking at Nine Nether’s face, which had some worry on it. He grinned. His smile was filled with excitement.

“Found it!”
