Chapter 512 - Thunder Fist
Making up his mind, David took in a deep breath, seated cross-legged within the large mountain.
He sent his gaze into his body, feeling as the breath he took sent oxygen to his muscles and body, nourishing his body and preserving it in the process.
He saw the flow of blood passing through his every vein and then circulating back to his heart.
Fixing his focus on his heart, ye place where the thunder seed had been placed.
His gaze hardened and he had a ruthless expression on his face, keeping his focus on the little veins near his heart.
They were the veins his body had deemed useless to its growth. So they were quite dry and were on the verge of dying.
"This will be it." David's eyes shone as he saw a little one. It wasn't as dried up like the others and although it was still quite small and not strong enough to allow the flow of blood through without it rupturing.
Therefore, David needed to.l strengthen and the best wash to strengthen it was to destroy it and then let it heal with the blood that he had prepared.
For sure it was going to affect his body and likely his heart which was why David was been extremely careful.
BANG!
David's body jolted, he felt his body tremble violently and his blood energy surged, before finally calming down after a while.
Not bothering to wipe the thin line of blood on his lips. He was well aware this wouldn't be the last time. Gulping down a mouthful of blood, he locked his lips as his eyes shone in a crimson glow. His vampire side had been awakened.
Outside the mountain, the thunderous sound could be heard, making the entire mountain tremble in the process, rocks spilling down from the peaks, creating its own thunderous sound as the boulders tumble down the mountain.
Time passed and the thunderous sound did not seem to be dying down in the slightest. In fact, the sound was increasing each and every time, the birds and beast within the vicinity had fled in fear, making that part of the forest deserted.
After what seemed to be five hours, an exhaust David flew out from the hole within the mountain. Sweat and blood covered his entire body, but his eyes glowed brightly, but still contained a bit of hesitation.
Despite the intrusion from the thunder seed during the making of his plan, he had still been successful and had already created the space for the thunder to be stored when it erupts, but he wasn't sure if it would work or not.
The thunder would erupt in two minutes, David waited calmly and cleaned himself up in the process. Despite still being a Mortal realm expert, he could utilise his mental energy so perfectly, even more than a peak earth realm expert.
As he felt the time was right, the thunder suddenly erupted. All of a sudden, David abruptly changed the direction of his blood circulation and make it head towards the space he had created for it.
Thunder crackled around his body, and the air churned, but it then faded in the blink of an eye.
"It worked!?" David's eyes popped open and he hurriedly checked within his body, at the small blocked vein not too far away from his heart.
In there, there was a few drops of there coated with a large amount of concentrated thunder essence, just lying dormant within his heart, waiting to be used and explode.
"Hahaha! I'm a genius."David couldn't help but laugh at the sky. He couldn't believe his stupid idea actually worked.
"You should be careful, when that thing reaches its limit and it will explode and the outcome will be very devastating." Hazel's voice was like ice-cold water being poured on his jubilating self.
As much as David would hate to admit, Hazel was right. This was only a temporary solution and not a permanent one.
"I can find a way to use it for myself." But doing that would require him to create a whole new blood vessel in his body, to transfer the thunder towards that exact part of his body.
For example, if he wanted the lightning on his legs, he would have to create a vessel connecting the vein storing the thunder energy directly to one of the vessels pumping blood to his legs. And even then, he needed to block some parts of his legs vessel so that the blood would not flow backwards uncontrollably, affecting his entire body in the process.
But to create a totally new blood vessel? That was going to be difficult, unless he grows the thunder vein, lengthening it to meet one of the blood vessels extended towards his legs.
David frowned, looking for a way around this difficult task. He wanted to use the thunder for himself, calling at it on his whim to assist him in battle, it was another trump card he could keep up his sleeve.
"I will just go for it. The worse that could happen is a severe injury." he closed his eyes and inside David's body, there were numerous large veins and small veins going around his body like wires, connected to his heart and then to his muscles, legs and tissues.
Abruptly, David's furrowed as he will it. The thunder vessel shook and stretched towards the vein on his hand that was directly connected to his heart.
Crackle! Crackle!! Crackle!!! Puff!
David's face turned pale and he staggered backwards, spitting out a mouthful of dark reddish blood in the process. Smoke rose up from the top of his head and his hair stood up straight to the sky, a little bit of current crackling around them.
Flopping to the ground, most of his energy had been zapped, he could barely remain standing anymore.
A bitter smile on his face. "I was too slow." he had been too slow to block the vein, making the thunder flow in reverse, going straight for his heart, almost frying it in the process.
David swallowed another bottle of blood, licking his lips at the delicious liquid. Although it wasn't as fresh as he wished, the blood was still enough to heal him.
With a resolute expression, he sat up straight and closed his eyes. He was going to try again until he finally grasp a hold of it. This process was very dangerous since a slight mistake could mean the end of his life in the process, but David was stubborn.
He was determined to turn the thunder disaster into benefit for himself.
Time passed by, the ground beneath his feet was soaked with dark red blood that lacked blood energy. His body trembling and his face white. He was like a madman with his experiment. Unless he was successful, it was unknown if he was going to leave this place at all.
Roughly another 5 hours passed and that was when a ball of purplish lightning wrapped itself along David's arm, flowing from his elbows to his palm.
David clenched his fist tightly and the thunder rumbled within his left hand.
He stood up. With a solemn expression on his face, he abruptly punched out.
In that instant, a pillar of fist-shaped purplish lightning shot out from his fist and landed at the trees not far from him.
Crackle! Rumble!!
The thunder landed and exploded, the surroundings trees within a hundred-meter radius was immediately turned to ash, without a single one left.
A faint curl appeared on his lips as he smiled. He had finally done it. Although his entire left arm was numb and felt as though he was been stabbed by multiple needles, he was still excited.
But first, he needed to sleep. He jumped back into the hole he had created with the mountain, immediately he landed, he entered into his inner world, leaving only a single Orb floating right at the centre of the hole.
He immediately slept off without warning. He had utilized most of his energy, both mentally and physically, the task had drained him dry.
David slept for three days straight before he woke up. It had been so long he had had a sleep like that, therefore, he had been pretty exhausted.
"Finally, I can move to the third stage of my plan." David took out a palm-size glowy object. It was the energy source from Vather's body.
The energy source felt near limitless and David couldn't help but feel awe at the creator of this object, if it could be on earth, it would certainly be revolutionary.
Shaking his head, he held the energy source within his palm Finally, he could test his theory.
He started to circulate the Ancient Godly Might technique, putting his focus on the energy stone before him.
The air churned as his body oscillated, rumbling with the growl of the wind.
At that moment, David could feel a stream of energy penetrating his body, strengthening in the process.
His eyes snapped open and he focused extensively on his inner world, there had been no damage at all!
