Chapter 1327: Chapter 1327: Quenching from the Outside In
“Theoretically, when we Soul Masters break through to become gods, we will be baptized by the lightning tribulation. This is not only a test but also a sublimation of the body, allowing oneself to thoroughly quench one’s body during the breakthrough process. But for us, the lightning tribulation is now controllable, so as long as we control the intensity of the tribulation. It’s equivalent to refining our bodies before becoming gods. This could really have good effects. Not just me, I think you can try it too.”
“During your struggle against the power that nearly resembled the Heaven and Earth Tribulation, I could feel your helplessness. This won’t do. With your talent, encountering the Heaven and Earth Tribulation when breaking through is highly probable. Trying more from the outside to the inside to quench your body is also a very good method of Cultivation.”
Bai Xiuxiu said, “I can give it a try, but I’ll start with the Annihilation Divine Thunder. I’m afraid I can’t handle the Heaven and Earth Tribulation and your Light and Dark Divine Thunder. You can try starting with the Light and Dark Divine Thunder yourself.”
Lan Xuanyu said with a wry smile, “Is this what they call self-abuse?”
Bai Xiuxiu chuckled and said, “Let’s try. I’ll go first.”
“Alright, I’ll control the intensity. Get ready.” As he spoke, Lan Xuanyu soared into the air and flew to mid-sky. Since it was about simulating the lightning tribulation, naturally, it was best to let the thunder strike from above.
Bai Xiuxiu took a deep breath and released her Martial Soul, with the deep blue scales of the Abyss Ice Demon Dragon attaching to her body.
“Are you ready?” Lan Xuanyu asked from the sky.
“Bring it on.”
“Boom—” In the next instant, a four-colored thunderbolt descended from the sky.
With Lan Xuanyu having cultivated the Light and Dark God Thunder Body Refining, the Annihilation Divine Thunder now caused very little damage to him. Moreover, he could directly lead the thunder as the Power of Thunder to strike, which had produced the effect of the Heaven and Earth Tribulation earlier.
Using the Annihilation Thunder alone now was naturally as easy as lifting a finger.
Bai Xiuxiu pushed with both hands. Abyss Swallowing activated, turning into a vortex that withstood the thunder’s assault.
The moment the thunder entered her Abyss Swallowing vortex, the entire Abyss Swallowing was painted in four colors. The majority of the Power of Thunder was dissipated, but Bai Xiuxiu still felt numb all over, as the thunder penetrated her. She quickly mobilized her Soul Power to resolve it.
“Here comes another one!”
“Boom—” Another thunderbolt fell from the sky. Bai Xiuxiu’s eyes focused, increasing the size of the Abyss vortex while a surge of ice mist emerged, forming layers of ice walls as a barrier.
The ice walls shattered, and the Annihilation Thunder descended once again, burrowing into the heart of the Abyss vortex.
Bai Xiuxiu started moving, the two strikes of Annihilation Thunder had already made her feel that her body was having difficulty bearing it. That numbing sensation was spreading from the outside to the inside. And that was when her defensive power was quite remarkable.
With mysterious steps, she performed Heavenly Demon Dance! Dancing within the Abyss Swallowing, her figure moved beautifully to the rhythm, driving the Heavenly Demon Swallowing to form a peculiar force field that dissolved most of the Power of Thunder into nothingness.
“Boom, boom, boom!” Three continuous strikes of Annihilation Thunder descended from the sky.
In the midst of the thunder, Bai Xiuxiu danced, her long hair flying behind her. At this moment, she too, had begun to get into the rhythm. From the initial numbness caused by the strikes of thunder, she began consciously using her Elemental properties to withstand these thunders – using both ice and darkness elements to block and dissolve them. At the same time, as parts of the thunder entered her body, her body strove to bear the burden, feel it, and with her bloodline power and Soul Power working together, she sought to resolve the thunder.
Lan Xuanyu controlled the might of the Annihilation Thunderbolt without intensifying it, merely allowing the thunderbolts to fall one after another. Bai Xiuxiu’s cultivation had indeed improved extremely rapidly; she was actually able to withstand such Annihilation Thunderbolt one by one. This was definitely something she couldn’t do before returning to the Sky Dragon Planet this time.
The most terrifying aspect of Thunderbolts is their explosive force, especially this kind of four-element elemental calamity; one can imagine how strong the explosive force is. Yet, she managed to defend against it with her continuous and dense cultivation, constantly dissolving it, breaking down the elemental power within the thunderbolt and dispersing it into the air.
It went on for a full ten or more minutes until Lan Xuanyu saw that the soul skills released by Bai Xiuxiu started to weaken; only then did he stop.
Heavenly Demon Dance and Heavenly Demon Swallowing retracted; when Lan Xuanyu saw Bai Xiuxiu in front of him, he almost laughed.
Her previously smooth and flowing hair now stood on end, spread over a large area behind her.
“What’s wrong?” Seeing the odd look on his face, Bai Xiuxiu asked, puzzled.
“Ahem, nothing, nothing at all,” Lan Xuanyu quickly replied.
Bai Xiuxiu’s Spiritual Power was also quite formidable; in the next moment, she felt the change in herself, her eyes went wide, and she said through gritted teeth: “Lan Xuanyu, you!”
“I didn’t do it on purpose! It’s because you didn’t completely neutralize the thunderbolt. No worries, just wash it off later. You should run your Soul Power through your hair.” Lan Xuanyu quickly approached and helped her comb her hair.
“How do you feel about the effect?” he asked while combing her hair.
Bai Xiuxiu raised her hands to take a look and said, “My body still feels a bit numb. But the thunderbolt is really quite different, with particularly strong explosive power. In that instant of explosion, four types of elements would suddenly invade my body, as if they were going to disintegrate everything. But once I withstand this explosive force, I feel like I am nourished by the elements. Of course, it’s a kind of destructive nourishment. It requires my Soul Power to repair it. But having done so, it seems to be of some help. At least towards the end, I started to adapt a bit. The body refining should be effective. You should try it too. Try blowing yourself up.”
“Okay, you rest for a while,” Lan Xuanyu replied.
Lan Xuanyu’s quenching of course didn’t need to start from the elemental calamity. He had previously let the Annihilation Divine Thunder explode inside him, converting it into attack power. Now, this four-color thunderbolt posed no threat to him, let alone when it was him who cast it. Thus, his attempt was naturally with the Light and Dark Divine Thunder.
When the first Light and Dark Divine Thunder exploded in the air and some of its bolts fell on Lan Xuanyu, the Seven-Colored Scales on his body immediately underwent a strange transformation.
The scales on his body flickered intensely in an instant, alternating between white, black, silver, and gold lights. After a brief moment, everything went back to normal. At least on the surface, it seemed there wasn’t much change in Lan Xuanyu, except for a bit of smoke rising from his body.
Bai Xiuxiu, standing in the distance, suddenly remembered that when she fought with Lan Xuanyu before, his dragon scales also seemed to change according to her different attacks during the battle, and even her Deep Blue Stare seemed to have no effect on him.
“Xuanyu, can your Golden Dragon Body now endure my attribute attacks, or is it all seven attributes?” Bai Xiuxiu asked curiously.
Lan Xuanyu replied, “It should be all of them, but it’s not immunity, it’s more of a reduction. Of course, once it’s reduced to a certain extent, it’s almost the same as immunity. After completing the Light and Dark God Thunder Body Refining, I found that I seem to be able to do it. Just now when I was fighting with you, I was trying this out. I found that my dragon scales can now change to different defensive attributes according to the opponent’s attack attribute. Even if it is outside of these seven attributes, it can transform into the most suitable attribute to withstand the attack.”
Bai Xiuxiu asked with confusion, “With seven attributes combined, wouldn’t the effect be the best?”
Lan Xuanyu explained, “It’s not like that. First of all, these seven elemental properties complement each other. For example, if the enemy attacks with a Light Attribute. Then using a combination of my seven properties to defend would work, but the consumption would be huge, and I wouldn’t have much of an advantage in terms of attributes. Because my seven properties form a composite, a complete structure, rather than being targeted to counteract.”
