<strong>Chapter 728 - Demonic Lightning Abyss</strong>


    Demonic Lightning Abyss


    Mu Chen and Nine Nether stood side by side with their gazes directed at the bottomless ck abyss. The abyss was like a demonic dragon lurking deep underground that would send chills down the spine of others.


    Rumble!


    A deep thunderous roar constantly came from the depths, causing even the earth to slightly tremble.


    “This is the Demonic Lightning Abyss.” Nine Nether looked at the ck abyss with her expression turning a little grave. “The Demonic Earth Lightning is born underground, it is a very special lightning. Although it is lightning, it canmunicate with the earth. When activated, it can easily rupture the earth, causing destruction simr to that of an earthquake.”


    Mu Chen nodded his head. He had cultivated the Lightning God’s Physique and had bitterly trained in the Lightning Territory of the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy in the past, so he was rather familiar with lightning energy. Thus, he could also sense the terrifying lightning energy gathered in the Demonic Lightning Abyss.


    Although the Demonic Earth Lightning was powerful, it was a level below the Undying mes. If it was used to integrate into Spiritual Energy, it would definitely be destroyed by the Undying mes instead.


    Therefore, he had to find a lightning energy that was equal to the Undying mes, and this Demonic Earth Lightning had clearly not reached that level yet.


    Therefore, the Demonic Earth Lightning wasn’t Mu Chen’s target, it was the more powerful Nether Demon Heart Lightning that was hidden deeper underground.


    “But the Nether Demon Heart Lightning is so powerful, even if we can find it, it will definitely not be easy to integrate with it.” Mu Chen spoke after a brief ponder. Back then, when he integrated the Undying mes, he had exerted all his energy in order to aplish it. Now that he wanted to integrate with the Nether Demon Heart Lightning, it would definitely be tougher and more dangerous.


    “If you manage to integrate it, your Spiritual Energy will have the attributes of both lightning and fire. At that time, the power won’t be something that ordinary Spiritual Energy couldpare to.” Nine Nether smiled.


    “Naturally, true power isn’t something that depends on how powerful the Spiritual Energy attributes are. Take the me Emperor of the Endless Fire Territory, for example. In terms of ying with fire, there isn’t anyone that can beparable to him in the Great Thousand World. He’s the genuine emperor of mes, every me can be easily controlled by him.”


    “Focusing on one attribute is more powerful?” Mu Chen asked. The me Emperor could be considered as someone that had cultivated the path of mes to the extreme. Upon reaching his level, all other energies weren’t enough to waver his heart.


    “That’s not true as well. There are endless profundities between the heavens and earth. There isn’t one that is more powerful. Rumour has it that the Martial Ancestor himself possesses many attributes in his Spiritual Energy. Not only is it proficient in lightning and me, he even disyed the power of Extreme Ice back when he barged into the Ice Spirit n. Even such an ancient n like the Ice Spirit n that is proficient in the energy of ice lost to him.” Nine Nether said, shaking her head.


    “Martial Ancestor? There are so many attributes in his Spiritual Energy?” Mu Chen was stunned as he recalled Lin Jing, who he had encounter back in the Merchant Continent. The Martial Ancestor must be her father, right?


    “Rumour has it that the Lower ne he belongs to is special. Although the Great Thousand World has countless nes connected to it, there are also some Lower nes that are worthmending. Some special cultivation arts that aren’t ordinary, even in the Great Thousand World.”


    Nine Nether lightly smiled. “So there isn’t one strongest cultivation path, only the most suitable cultivation path. As long as you can find your own path, you can evenpete with those Heavenly Sovereigns in the future.”


    Mu Chen nodded his head, but bitterly smiled shortly after. “But those things are too far to speak of. We have yet to even find the Nether Demon Heart Lightning.”


    Mu Chen looked at the Demonic Lightning Abyss with slight nervousness. Originally, he still had quite a bit of hope, but when he found out that the Demonic Lightning Sect, who had upied this location for so many years, had yet to find the Nether Demon Heart Lightning, his hope fell to the bottom.


    The Demonic Lightning Sect couldn’t even find it after so much effort, how could he be so lucky to bump into it the moment hees here?


    “No matter what, we still have to give it a try,” said Nine Nether.


    Mu Chen nodded his head as he exchanged a nce with Nine Nether. The two of them turned into two streaks of light as they descended down the Demonic Lightning Abyss. Wind whizzed as darkness swiftly devoured the two of them.


    Rumble!


    Deep thunderous roars constantly came out from the depths of the darkness. The speed of Mu Chen and Nine Nether’s descent was extremely fast, they had already gone down ten thousand feet in barely ten breath’s time, before they started to slow down their speed. Because they sensed that after reaching this depth, the lightning energy was getting more violent.


    Mu Chen and Nine Nether stood in ce, before Mu Chen flicked his finger. Spiritual Energy light balls gradually rose from his finger and swiftly swelled up. Dazzling light burst out as it expelled the darkness in the depths of this Demonic Lightning Abyss.


    Darkness retreated as the surrounding scenery was swiftly clearing up. Mu Chen directed his gaze over and couldn’t help narrowing his eyes. The wall of the abyss was filled with densely packed holes that were roughly a few feet in size. In those ck holes, there were greyish-ck lightning bolts that looked like snakes as they shuttled back and forth, letting out thunderous roars that caused the earth to shake.


    Those greyish-ck lightning bolts were the so-called “Demonic Earth Lightning”.


    Rumble!


    In this abyss, which was filled with Demonic Earth Lightning, violent fluctuations were being emitted, causing even space to show signs of distortion. When the Spiritual Energy light balls appeared, the lightning bolts abruptly sensed invaders and countless lightning beams burst out from those ck holes, sweeping towards Mu Chen and Nine Nether’s direction.


    Upon seeing this, Mu Chen’s party of two did not panic as Nine Nether raised her hand and purple mes enveloped the two of them. No matter how the Demonic Earth Lightning shot over, it was burned to nothingness by the Undying mes.


    “Look below.”


    Nine Nether wasn’t bothered with the disturbance of the Demonic Earth Lightning. Her slender finger was pointed down with a grave expression on her face.


    Mu Chen lowered his head to look at it and flicked his finger, sending a Spiritual Energy light ball towards the ck abyss. The light ball exploded as countless sparks of light swept out, lighting up the area below them.


    Hisss!


    When Mu Chen got a clear look at the situation below, he immediately, uncontrobly inhaled a mouthful of chilled air. Deep in the dark, greyish-ck lightning seemed to have formed into an ocean that was spread out at the bottom of the Demonic Lightning Abyss. The pitch-ck scenery was like a dark portal that went to another world, letting those thatid eyes on it to feel their scalps numbing.


    This lightning ocean was actually formed entirely of Demonic Earth Lightning.


    “No wonder the Demonic Lightning Sect could not find the Nether Demon Heart Lightning after so many years.” Mu Chen sighed. Who would have thought that the Demonic Earth Lightning that was in the depths of the Demonic Lightning Abyss would be so numerous? Even someone like Qin Tiangang, who had a cultivation of Fifth Grade Sovereign, would not rush in so easily.


    Nine Nether nodded her head, before she lightly frowned her brows. “Looks like we can only go down into this lightning ocean that is formed from Demonic Earth Lightning to look for the Nether Demon Heart Lightning.”


    Mu Chen was also staring at the lightning ocean and slowly nodded his head. He did not immediately move, but had directed his gaze at the Demonic Lightning Abyss that was filled with Demonic Earth Lightning as a smear of pondering shed in his eyes.


    “Nine Nether, I intend to bring the Nine Nether Troop here to cultivation.” Mu Chen suddenly said.


    “Hmm?” Nine Nether was a little stunned, before she continued, “Although you and I have nothing to fear in the Demonic Lightning Abyss that is filled with Demonic Earth Lightning, it might be a little dangerous for the Nine Nether Troop.”


    “I already intend to pass down the Lightning God’s Physique to them.” Mu Chen said slowly, “This Demonic Lightning Abyss is the perfect ce to cultivate the Lightning God’s Physique. If the Nine Nether Troop can sessfully cultivate the Lightning God’s Physique, the Battle Will formed by them will not be something that the present can bepared to.”


    The Lightning God’s Physique had great benefits to refining the physique, but along with the rise of Mu Chen’s strength now, the fighting strength that he could gain from the Lightning God’s Physique was getting weaker. If the Nine Nether Troop could sessfully cultivate in it, it would definitely be a significant rise in their strength. At that time, Mu Chen had the confidence to defeat all other troops in the Great Havew Domain, except for the mysterious Great Havew Troop, with an amount of just a thousand from the Nine Nether Troop.


    Furthermore, he was looking at the long term. If the dayes when he was to head for the Luo God n, he definitely couldn’t be going single-handedly. He also needed a force that belonged to himself.


    And the Nine Nether Troop was a pretty good choice. Although they still couldn’t achieve that feat right now, they had the potential.


    “Okay.”


    Nine Nether briefly pondered and nodded her head as well. She also vaguely knew what Mu Chen was thinking in his heart. Speaking from a certain degree, the Nine Nether Troop was considered as her personal troops, but she had no objections to this. After all, the rtionship between the two of them wasn’t something that could be interfered with this alone.


    Since the decision was made, Mu Chen no longergged around. He flew out of the Demonic Lightning Abyss first and gathered the Nine Nether Troop, before bringing them in.


    With the Nine Nether Troop’s strength, they naturally couldn’t go down as far as Nine Nether and Mu Chen. They only reached three thousand feet down and they couldn’t advance any further.


    Seeing this, Mu Chen ordered them to stop and waved his sleeve. A jade bamboo flew out of his sleeve andnded in the hand of one of the Nine Nether Troop’s warriors.


    “This is the Lightning God’s Physique that I have cultivated. From today onwards, you guys will be training here.”


    Hearing Mu Chen’s faint voice, Qiu Shan and the rest were stunned as they nkly looked at Mu Chen. After a brief moment, deep gratitude surged in their eyes. They were well-aware about how valuable this Lightning God’s Physique was. It’s definitely hard to obtain such a Body Refining Divine Art in other forces, and right now, Mu Chen was giving it to them so easily...


    “Many thanks to the Domain Lord!”


    Qiu Shan and the rest exchanged a nce. He tightly clenched the jade bamboo and everyone there knelt down on a single knee. Their gazes were filled with revere and support. They did not give unnecessary ttery but their voices were filled with gratitude.


    A soldier would die for those who acknowledged their worth. With such a Domain Lord, they could serve with all their hearts.


    Mu Chen slightly nodded his head and did not say anything unnecessary as well. He waved his hand, then dived into the Demonic Lightning Abyss under the numerous revered gazes.


    He had already achieved what he wanted. Using the Lightning God’s Physique to buy the hearts of the Nine Nether Troop, it was a worthwhile transaction for him.


    Now that the Nine Nether Troop had been arranged, he could rest his heart and search for the Nether Demon Heart Lightning that he wanted in this Demonic Lightning Abyss.
