The fight between Lee Xun and the lake had already caused this area to be riddled with holes. The lake water had already evaporated to the point that it had almost dried up. If one were to look down from the sky at this time, they would be able to see that the ground where they were standing seemed to have formed a huge, deep crater within the Demonic Beast Mountain.
The moment they had felt Black Cloud's birth, Lee Xun and Yi Liu had both withdrawn their strength at the same instant with great tacit understanding.
Yi Kuang immediately landed on the ground, took out a few jade bottles and swallowed them all, then said to Lee Xun: "Quickly come down, you don't have much time left."
Just as Yi Kuang was about to throw the jade bottles to Lee Xun, he saw Lee Xun throw two jade bottles over. Yi Kuang opened them and took a whiff of the smell, he could not help but laugh bitterly and kept them. He had originally wanted to throw the precious medicine collected by his clan to Lee Xun, so he could consume the medicine to recuperate his injuries, but discovered that the medicine Lee Xun threw over was much stronger than his own.
Lee Xun swallowed a few spiritual herbs and started to recuperate. Seeing that, Yi Kuang did not speak anymore and started to heal himself.
While the two of them were recovering from their injuries, more and more dark clouds gathered in the sky. It was impossible to see just how wide the area was. Thunder rumbled from the distance.
With the Essential Golden Orb, Lee Xun activated the Sword Spirit King's bloodline, the Essential Golden Orb started to revolve at a high speed, treating Lee Xun's injuries, and in less than ten minutes, Lee Xun was completely fine. It was only a big battle, the energy that was used up, the Elemental Power, and even his soul force was extremely huge, it looked extremely weak.
At this time, Yi Kuang opened his eyes wide as if he was looking at a monster, and said in shock: "Your injuries have all healed?"
Lee Xun nodded with a bitter smile, and said: "Yes, I won't hide it from big brother Yi Kuang. I have a Essential Golden Orb in my body, and it has a miraculous healing effect." Yi Kuang was just using his life to help him break through. Was such a person not trustworthy? Therefore, Lee Xun didn't hide anything from Yi Kuang.
Yi Kuang could not help but be taken aback, but then he immediately shook his head and laughed: "Damn, if I had known earlier, I wouldn't have been worthy of you playing with your life, aren't you being shameless?" Yi Kuang couldn't help but curse. He was currently still in a heavily injured state, he wouldn't be completely fine if he didn't rest for a while. However, when he recovered from his injuries, his strength would also increase significantly. Not to mention that his fist techniques had also improved greatly. The battle of life and death had also brought many benefits to him. However, he naturally felt that he suffered a bit from Lee Xun's injuries being healed so quickly.
Lee Xun rubbed his nose and said, "Brother Yi Kuang, I just felt the signs of advancement, it's just that this sky is a bit strange, shouldn't Element of Heaven and Earth gather energy and storm around it?"
Yi Kuang looked at the abnormality in the sky and nodded, "It is indeed a little strange. When I advanced back then, although my momentum was a little stronger than ordinary people, it was still nothing compared to what you have right now. Are you sure you have already sensed the breakthrough? "
"Hehe, I naturally sensed it." That kind of feeling of blessings, naturally, Lee Xun would not recognize it wrong.
"I can only say that you're a monster, for you to be able to fight evenly with me at Earth Rank Peak is not strange at all. Fortunately you have the Essential Golden Orb, otherwise, in that state just now, you would not be able to withstand the power of the heavenly thunder produced by this abnormal phenomenon. Our Heavenly Thunder Body Training was created by the energy storms of the Element of Heaven and Earth s that were triggered by our own strength. Basically, our original body was able to endure it to the maximum, if our will was slightly weaker, we would probably fail the breakthrough. Right now, you have not only activated the Element of Heaven and Earth's ability to cause two storms, you have also triggered the natural lightning power. It seems like the natural thunder power is still in control, but the natural lightning power that you used just now is no small matter either. Yi Kuang was completely confident in Lee Xun.
"Hehe, Big Brother Yi Kuang, then I will go, you are now severely injured, it is better to go back and treat your injuries, this process will not end even if I think about it for a few days." Lee Xun also had a very deep understanding of the rules for entering Heaven Rank.
Baili Hong had told him before, that when one enters the Heaven Rank, after triggering the energy storm in the world, the process of body refinement would be closely related to the true strength of the person at the time of the Earth Rank. The stronger the person at the time of the Earth Rank, the longer the process of the Heavenly Thunder Body Training would be when the person at the peak of the Heaven Rank would become. When Baili Hong himself entered the Heaven Rank, he activated the Heavenly Thunder Body Training of the Ninth Heaven. Lee Xun believed that he would definitely surpass this old man in the Heavenly Thunder Body Training process. After all, this old man did not have many fortuitous encounters.
"Yes, I had experienced four days back then, and I estimate that you would have at least seven or eight days left. I will come back here six days later, and I don't need to be afraid of being harassed during the Heavenly Thunder Body Training process, nor do you need to have any worries." Yi Kuang said.
When Lee Xun flew into the sky, Yi Kuang immediately flew towards Barry City, he himself also had a mortal enemy, if they were to discover his current state, it would be a huge problem.
Lee Xun quickly arrived at the center of the storm. Not everyone would have the chance to come to the center of the storm while advancing in Heaven Rank, only those who had the ability to fly would be able to do so. On this point, flying Spiritual Beast, flying Demonic Beast, and a very small number of other races would give them an advantage. As for accepting the Heavenly Thunder Body Training at the center of the storm, the effect was naturally much better than being on flat land.
As the storm grew stronger, Lee Xun could feel the Sword Spirit King's bloodline in his body become extremely excited. Following the appearance of the electric snake mixed within the storm, his entire body began to actively absorb the electric snake. A comfortable numbness let Lee Xun greatly enjoy, his body seemed to be extremely hungry and thirsty, and as the first wave of electric snakes entered his body, the electric snakes in the storm successively entered Lee Xun's body, connecting Lee Xun and the storm together like countless silver threads.
After the electric snake entered Lee Xun's body, following the boiling of the Sword Spirit King's bloodline, the Essential Golden Orb also became extremely excited, producing an extremely huge amount of spirit energy to replenish Lee Xun's lost energy, Elemental Power and soul energy. Lee Xun never thought that his own process of Heavenly Thunder Body Training would actually start like this.
But as the energy in his body reached its saturation point, pain followed right after. The electric snake contained an extremely large amount of energy, and in less than fifteen minutes, Lee Xun felt a swelling pain. There was no need to mention the fact that the blood vessels in his body had ruptured. At this moment, the Essential Golden Orb once again displayed its might and helped Lee Xun to recover, as if it was competing with his blood vessels. The more it damaged, the faster it bled, and the faster the Essential Golden Orb could recover.
In this entire process, Lee Xun discovered that he was basically being forced into a passive state and he could not do anything. Lee Xun really wanted to pass out at this time. He couldn't do anything, but he knew that he had to persevere at this time, maybe when he lost consciousness, he would also fail on his own path to levelling up. Lee Xun could feel that every time his bloodline was restored, it would become stronger. He felt that no matter how great the pain was, it would be worth it.
Lee Xun, who was in the center of the storm, did not know that this process had already been going on for four days and even now, there was still not a single bolt of heavenly lightning. At the moment, there were already more than sixty Heaven Rank Rankers gathered outside of the storm. They had rushed over an hour or so after the storm had been created. Such a powerful phenomenon like the Heavenly Thunder Body Training naturally caused them to be extremely shocked, and even more Heaven Rank Rankers were rushing over. As for the people on the ground, they were already numbered in the hundreds of thousands. There were people of all ranks, even normal people.
In the sky, two Heaven Rank Rankers s stood together and conversed with each other.
"Old Wu, do you think this is a Heaven Defying Demonic Beast or a top-grade Spiritual Beast? It's already been four days, yet there's still not a single bolt of heavenly lightning. We'll have to wait for the heavenly lightning to fall before we can truly begin."
"Hur hur, we just need to watch. Someone who knows his place will come."
"You mean the top five powers?"
"Since such a strong expert appeared, they must come. Who knows, they might be someone from one of their factions." especially their Jiuyou Profound Sect; their strength is unfathomable, who knows how they managed to cultivate it?
Discussions such as this were intensely held by the others as well.
Suddenly, the dark cloud which had been accumulating energy for the last four days spat out an incomparably large Electric Dragon. Seeing it, many people held their heads and ran far away, afraid that it would hack them down. However, that dragon only had to cleave a head off before it seemed to have been caught by something.
Many of the Heaven Rank Rankers s felt their hearts palpitate. If that Electric Dragon had struck them just now, their lives would have been forfeit. Not to mention their lives, even their bodies and souls would have been annihilated by it.
After enduring the pain for four days, Lee Xun realized that everything was still just the beginning. When the Electric Dragon slashed at him, Lee Xun felt as if his body and soul were going to shatter. Lee Xun wanted to shout out loud, but realized that it was simply impossible. Only the Essential Golden Orb s and his own Sword Spirit King bloodline were emitting an extreme sense of excitement. After the Essential Golden Orb absorbed the lightning energy, it produced a large amount of spirit energy to heal Lee Xun's injuries, and the Sword Spirit King bloodline also devoured the lightning energy, as if it was completing its own journey of evolution. Lee Xun was extremely excited about this. Lee Xun could feel that both his Essential Golden Orb and Sword Spirit King bloodline had been strengthened during this process, and he could not help but become excited.
However, just as this feeling of excitement was born, another Electric Dragon a little bigger than the last burst out from the dark cloud. Lee Xun was struck senseless in an instant. His consciousness only blurred for an instant before he immediately recovered. Only then did Lee Xun remember that his Heavenly Thunder Body Training had just started.
When the second Electric Dragon was completely absorbed, Lee Xun discovered that it was not only the Essential Golden Orb and his own Sword Spirit King bloodline that were so excited. "Glacial Lotus Fruit," "Cold Mist Illusory Flame Bead," "Deep Earth Cloudbow", and "Sun Moon Protector" all grew excited as they all began to madly absorb the power of thunder. It was like a child snatching candy. Only Lee Xun was in extreme pain, and he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He couldn't even shout out loud to vent his feelings.
Just like this, every half an hour, a Electric Dragon that was slightly stronger than the previous one would descend.
Everyone had gone from fear to numbness. They did not know when the Electric Dragon would be the head.
On the sixth day, which was the second day after the appearance of the Electric Dragon, Yi Kuang arrived. He was the first Heaven Rank Peak expert to have come here, and on this day, he was not the only one who had come. There were actually fourteen of them.
Last time, when they were fighting over the [Bodhi Fruit], they did not have such a large lineup.
"Old Wu, do you know any of the strong warriors who came today?"
"Hehe, I recognise a few of them. The first one to come here should be Yi Kuang from the Bourbon Kingdom, whom I haven't seen for almost thirty years. The last time I saw him was when the Wavast Kingdom's Yi Xin Empire advanced, but this time, I feel like his aura has increased a lot compared to thirty years ago. Sigh, these people are all training maniacs, I wonder how they train. "
After Yi Kuang's injuries had mostly healed, his strength had indeed improved a lot. Right now, he was watching the process of Lee Xun's advancement with interest, hoping that the moment of Lee Xun's completion would come. Now, he could feel that the Electric Dragon slashing at Lee Xun was much stronger than the last one he had slain back then.
"Old Wu, keep going on. I don't know any of these people."
"Those people over there should be from the ten great Seclusion Family. Those over there are the Storm Sect, Sacred Sword City, Tiannu Villa, and Heaven Shrouding Sword Sect. You should be able to tell them just from their clothing. I don't recognize the four people scattered over there either."
While they were talking, another white robed old man came over. Many Heaven Rank Rankers s nodded at the old man. After the old man arrived, he immediately went to Yi Kuang's side.
"Brother Yi Kuang, I heard that you and Lee Xun had a fight, and not long after, such a phenomenon appeared. It can't be that Lee Xun is levelling up, right?" The old man said.
"So it's Yuwen Lianshui, what are you doing here instead of guarding your Baoyuan Chamber of Commerce, the recent situation is not looking very good." Yi Kuang seemed to be disgusted with Yuwen Lianshui.
Originally, I didn't want to come either, but I suddenly heard that someone saw a big fight between you and Lee Xun nearby, so I came over to take a look. "
"I do not know who is in there, but I know that I am not a match for Lee Xun." Yi Kuang seemed to be somewhat depressed.
"Are you saying that Lee Xun is a genuine Heaven Rank Peak Ranker?" Yuwen Lianshui was obviously confused by Yi Kuang's words, no matter how he thought about it, he could not think of anyone capable of defeating Yi Kuang with just the Earth Rank. He could feel now that even he didn't have much of a chance of winning against Yi Kuang.
"You said it yourself. I only said that I can't beat the current Lee Xun." Yi Kuang was lying to Yuwen Lianshui right now. He naturally knew that Baoyuan Chamber of Commerce had sent their Heaven Rank Rankers s to harm Lee Xun. Yi Kuang was extremely angry at this point, and the person who could order Gao Ping and Feng Biao around was definitely Yuwen Lianshui.
Regarding these words of Yi Kuang, Yuwen Lianshui did not mind it at all. In his opinion, Yi Kuang had already admitted that he was not Lee Xun's match, so Lee Xun was definitely not his opponent.
Many Heaven Rank Rankers were skeptical when they heard Yi Kuang saying that he was no match for Lee Xun. In their eyes, Lee Xun was not even thirty years old. Forget about a thirty year old Heaven Rank Peak expert, even a thirty year old Earth Rank Expert had never heard of him. One of them guessed silently that Lee Xun might be playing a double role with another person, and there must be another person who appeared and fought with Yi Liu in the Ku Jia Empire. After this person spoke out his conjecture, it immediately gained the approval of the vast majority of people.
Yuwen Lianshui also felt that the possibility of that happening was very high and he decided to leave after a while.
Although Yuwen Lianshui had left, no one else had. As time passed, more and more people were rushing over. Not long after, someone from the Jiuyou Profound Sect finally arrived. If Lee Xun could see it now, he would realise that it was actually Tuoba Gui.
Lee Xun's Heaven Rank had already advanced to the twenty-fourth day. Although many people were impatient to wait, no one left, but everyone consciously stayed far away. After all, with every passing day, another two hours would pass, and the process of the Heavenly Thunder Body Training might end soon. Whether the people coming out were humans or Demonic Beast, no one knew.
However, the majority of the people still believed that this was a human, because up until now, there had not been a single Heaven Rank Demonic Beast or Heaven Rank Spiritual Beast that had appeared. Demonic Beast Rankers from the Heaven Rank and Spiritual Beast Rankers from the other side had an advantage over humans. They could sense it only slightly through the Spiritual Consciousness.
Just when everyone thought that this day would pass, a blinding light suddenly shot out from the bottom of the lake. In the next moment, a gigantic sword shadow quickly flew into the energy storm. The storm instantly vanished and the black clouds gradually dispersed. The Electric Dragon also naturally disappeared.
Facing this strange scene, everyone was stunned, even the Heaven Rank Rankers were no exception. No one had expected that after so many days, such a powerful Heavenly Thunder Body Training process would suddenly disappear. As for the sword shadow, everyone was guessing what was going on. Half a day later, there was still no change in the sky, and many people began to choose their ways to leave. Many people treated their many days of waiting as a joke.
After a day, only Yi Kuang remained. He started to cultivate. Although he did not know what had happened, in his opinion, Lee Xun was definitely still alive.
Two days later, a purple robed elder came to Yi Kuang's side. Naturally, this person was Tuoba Gui.
"Yi Kuang, the one inside is Lee Xun, right?" Tuoba Gui laughed.
"Do you believe it if I say I don't know?" Yi Kuang also laughed.
"Hehe, it's his fortune that Lee Xun has friends like you, don't mention I've been here before to anyone, it would be better for Lee Xun that way." After Tuoba Gui finished, he laughed and left.
Only Yi Kuang was still at a loss. After a long while, he started to cultivate again.
