Chapter 2012: Thunder Bones Strengthening
Translator: Legge
Suddenly!
A deafening sound of Instant Thunder sounded in Su Zimo’s mind, waking him up from his stupor!
A strange change was happening within the Green Lotus True Body.
A blinding light burst forth from his marrow.
Accompanied by thunder, bedazzling electric arcs appeared from his marrow and coiled around his jade green bones.
!!
As time pa.s.sed by, the thunder became louder and more terrifying as the power of thunder released from the Green Lotus True Body increased!
Before long, the Green Lotus True Body’s body was filled with lightning!
The lightning was so strong that even the curse of the Emperor’s Tomb could not defend against it!
“This is…”
Su Zimo was completely awake with a shocked expression.
How could there be such a pure and terrifying power of thunder in his body?
Suddenly!
Su Zimo thought of something.
Back in the Ten Absolute h.e.l.l, the first thing the Thunder Emperor did after breaking free from the shackles was to send the shattered Dao Fruit into his body and seal it.
The Thunder Emperor had once told him that given his current cultivation, it was difficult for him to absorb and refine the Dao Fruit fragments completely at the moment. However, they might be able to help him in the future.
And now, the continuous stimulation of the curse of the Emperor’s Tomb caused the sealed power of thunder to explode completely!
The curse of the Emperor’s Tomb was related to one’s cultivation realm.
Su Zimo was only a Grade 9 Black Immortal and the power of the curse he was tainted with was not strong.
However, the power of thunder sealed in his body was incomparably terrifying—it was conjured by the Thunder Emperor’s shattered Dao Fruit!
This was the Dao Fruit of the Supreme Perfected Immortal. Even though it was already shattered, it possessed an unimaginable might!
The curse of the Emperor’s Tomb that Su Zimo was tainted with could not defend against the baptism of the power of thunder at all and was forced to retreat in defeat!
If not for the Soul Lantern’s flame, the curse of the Emperor’s Tomb outside would definitely produce an even more terrifying curse power to fight against the lightning.
Eventually, Su Zimo would be tainted by the even more terrifying curse of the Emperor’s Tomb and would definitely die!
But now that the Soul Lantern was burning and the light of the golden flame isolated the curse of the Emperor’s Tomb outside, the curse in Su Zimo’s body was purged by the surging lightning before long!
The green spots on Su Zimo’s face faded and his bones regained their jade green color. They were crystal clear and his bloodline was pure and flawless.
Green mist seeped out of his pores continuously.
The green mist was conjured by the curse of the Emperor’s Tomb and left the Green Lotus True Body. Not long after it was enveloped by the flame of the Soul Lantern, it gradually disappeared and was refined by the Soul Lantern!
Su Zimo stood up and lightning surged in his body, baptizing his body, bloodline, limbs, organs and cleansing the curse of the Emperor’s Tomb.
The danger of the curse of the Emperor’s Tomb was completely resolved.
However, the power of thunder released by the Dao Fruit fragments was way too turbulent. If they were not guided for refinement, even the Green Lotus True Body would be destroyed!
However, this was no longer a crisis for Su Zimo.
If he could refine and guide the power of thunder, he would definitely break through to the Earth Essence realm. Even his Green Lotus True Body might be able to break through once more and grow to Grade 10!
Under normal circ.u.mstances, breaking through in the Emperor’s Tomb was equivalent to courting death.
That was because once one broke through to the Earth Essence realm, the power of the curse of the Emperor’s Tomb would increase as well.
There was a high chance that a Grade 9 Black Immortal would survive after leaving the Emperor’s Tomb.
If he broke through to become a Grade 1 Earth Immortal, he would be doomed.
But now, Su Zimo was cultivating with ease and even chose to break through!
Within the range of the Soul Lantern’s flame, it was not corroded by the curse and was equivalent to a paradise in the Emperor’s Tomb!
Even if he broke through to the Earth Immortal realm here, he would not be tainted by the curse of the Emperor’s Tomb.
The danger was resolved and the situation had turned around completely.
This crisis was already a rare opportunity for Su Zimo!
“Ah!”
Su Zimo reared his head and howled into the skies with an endless might of thunder.
The lightning in his body could no longer be suppressed and was about to spill out!
Without hesitation, Su Zimo a.s.sumed a lotus position and recited the Void Thunder Manual silently. Many insights imparted by the Thunder Emperor flashed through his mind.
Only the Void Thunder Manual could control, absorb and refine the power of thunder!
In the Void Thunder Manual of the upper world, in order to refine his body and bloodline, the Thunder Emperor created a Thunder Bones Strengthening secret skill to derive the Thunder Bloodline.
And now, Su Zimo’s mind was completely immersed in the Bones Strengthening secret skill.
Lightning surged around Su Zimo and almost transformed into a sea of lightning. It was blinding and Su Zimo’s figure became blurry and indistinct.
However, as time pa.s.sed by, Su Zimo’s understanding of the Thunder Bones Strengthening secret skill deepened and he could refine and absorb more power of thunder.
The range of the sea of lightning gradually shrank.
One day, two days, one month…
Su Zimo had been sitting in a lotus position in the sea of lightning the entire time. His eyes were closed and he did not move, as though the world had stopped.
The Soul Lantern flame at the side flickered from time to time and the oil in the lantern was also being consumed slowly.
Time flew.
In the blink of an eye, almost a year had pa.s.sed since Su Zimo and the others entered the Emperor’s Tomb.
Above a desert, a purple figure advanced alone. Although she was expressionless, she looked around from time to time, as though she was searching for something.
Tang Ziyi.
Her injuries had long healed.
In the past half a year, she had been to many places, searching for Su Zimo.
However, the Emperor’s Tomb was like a broken world that was way too huge and boundless.
Back then, Su Zimo and the black-robed old man were too fast and she did not know where they ran to. Trying to find someone in the Emperor’s Tomb was equivalent to searching for a needle in a haystack.
“Sigh,”
Tang Ziyi lowered her head slightly and sighed.
Actually, she had already vaguely guessed that Su Zimo was most likely doomed.
There was almost no chance of escape after being targeted by a Ghost Immortal in the Emperor’s Tomb!
Furthermore, Su Zimo was at the end of his road after consecutive battles—how could he escape the pursuit of the Ghost Immortal?
She had not known Su Zimo for long. However, for some unknown reason, she felt sad at the thought that Su Zimo would be buried in the Emperor’s Tomb without a corpse left.
“I owe you too much but I’ll probably never get the chance to repay you,”
Tang Ziyi murmured softly.
Right then, the entire Emperor’s Tomb suddenly shook!
A series of explosions sounded from the firmaments, as though the skies were about to collapse!
“It’s time to leave,”
Tang Ziyi glanced at the firmaments and chanted internally, as though she was bidding farewell to Su Zimo.
The Emperor’s Tomb would not stay in a place for too long. If she was not wrong, this commotion should be a premonition that the Emperor’s Tomb was about to escape into the void and leave Divine Firmament Mainland!
Although she had a teleportation talisman that could return to the prince’s residence, if the Emperor’s Tomb escaped into the endless void, even if she had a teleportation talisman, she would not be able to break through the restrictions of that s.p.a.ce and would stay in the Emperor’s Tomb forever.
She wanted to leave.
She had something more important to do!
