Dragon-Marked War God

“Lowly human, you’re not worthy. You’re not worthy of plundering my lightning origin!”

“Damn it… you don’t have the right! I, Zheyu, will never submit!”

“No, no, no!”

Zheyu roared again and again, in anger, in grief, even in hysteria, because it was now far too weak and simply could no longer contend with Jiang Chen. The technique this human had used was comparable to that of a Great Emperor Realm expert. That one seal just now had completely destroyed the giant lightning dragon it had transformed into, so its origin power had also suffered tremendous damage. To recover, it would need at least a hundred years, and clearly Jiang Chen would not give it that chance now.

“Your time is over.”

Jiang Chen said with a cold smile. Then, wave after wave of Heavenly Lightning power began pouring out of his hands and started devouring the Zheyu Drought Heavenly Lightning. Its lightning origin was already extremely weak, with no strength left to fight, and his own two Heavenly Lightning origins could completely devour it at this moment.

“Damn you, you can’t kill me, you can’t devour me! I am… I am the Sky-Devouring…”

Before Zheyu could finish, Jiang Chen’s lightning origin completely engulfed it.

“I don’t care what kind of sky you are. I’ll devour you first and talk later.”

Jiang Chen didn’t hold back at all and directly devoured the Zheyu Drought Heavenly Lightning. That violent, boundless lightning flared up. Jiang Chen could feel how restless and furious this lightning origin was, but no matter what, it no longer had any chance to defy the heavens and change its fate, because Jiang Chen had completely defeated it. All the Zheyu Drought Heavenly Lightning had left was instinctive resistance. As for how big a storm it could still stir up, that was no longer up to it.

Second by second, Jiang Chen devoured the Heavenly Lightning origin of the Zheyu Drought Heavenly Lightning. Even the Nine Stars Heavenly Tribulation Lightning and the Dawn Sky Golden Lightning found it extremely difficult, because the Heavenly Lightning origin of the Zheyu Drought Heavenly Lightning was far too violent. Even devouring it, they had to do it bit by bit. Jiang Chen’s strength kept recovering and grew ever more powerful, and the speed at which he devoured the Heavenly Lightning origin of the Zheyu Drought Heavenly Lightning slowly rose little by little.

At this moment, in the sky above the Lightning-Gathering Peak, bolt after bolt of terrifying Heavenly Lightning came crashing down, pounding the Soul-Devouring Lightning-Sealing Formation over and over again. Between heaven and earth, the experts of the Profound Connection Divine Palace were stunned. They had never seen such a sight before. Although lightning power was ever-present above the Lightning-Gathering Peak all year round, it had never been this violent. No one knew what exactly was happening beneath the Lightning-Gathering Peak, inside the Soul-Devouring Lightning-Sealing Formation.

The lightning origin of the Zheyu Drought Heavenly Lightning kept surging, putting up one final struggle, but it was still to no avail. The instinctive resistance of its origin power was the Zheyu Drought Heavenly Lightning’s swan song.

“I refuse to accept it, I refuse to accept it! Foolish human, you will pay for your arrogance in the end!”

Zheyu’s voice gradually faded into nothingness.

Jiang Chen remained completely focused, paying no attention to the roars of the Drought Heavenly Lightning. It was already finished. Its lightning origin could never recover. How big a wave could it still stir up? Did it really think he was someone who could be scared off by a few threats?

The voice of the Drought Heavenly Lightning gradually disappeared within the Lightning-Gathering Peak, while the violent aura in Jiang Chen’s body surged ever more powerfully. He was gradually bringing the lightning origin under his control, but the three lightning origins couldn’t fuse with each other at all. Instead, they repelled one another, which gave Jiang Chen a terrible headache.

Jiang Chen looked inward at his dantian, and he came to take the Drought Heavenly Lightning more and more seriously. Even after being devoured by him, it was still so violent. He had to tame its savagery. Otherwise, the lightning origins of the Nine Stars Heavenly Tribulation Lightning and the Dawn Sky Golden Lightning might even be completely assimilated by it, and that was not what Jiang Chen wanted to see.

“I have to assimilate the savagery of its origin power as quickly as possible. Right, let me try and see if I can purify it completely with Dao Essence.”

With a thought, Jiang Chen forced the lightning origin up into his dantian, among the Dao Essence. The violent lightning origin actually slowly calmed down at this moment, and Jiang Chen gradually gained control over the lightning origin. The three kinds of lightning slowly reached a silent balance. A faint smile appeared at the corner of Jiang Chen’s mouth. It seemed his Dao of Heavenly Domination was still quite useful. However, the Dao Essence had now completely vanished, so it would be impossible for Jiang Chen to use the Sui Tian Seal again.

Still, at this moment, he felt that his strength had improved tremendously. The dragon marks in his body underwent another qualitative transformation, and the Dragon Transformation Art had already begun to circulate. His breakthrough was imminent!

“Mid Hierarch Realm? The tremendous power contained in this lightning origin is a bit of a surprise.”

Jiang Chen thought to himself and prepared wholeheartedly to break through. He raised his eyes and looked around. This Soul-Devouring Lightning-Sealing Formation should be no problem either. He only needed to wait until he broke through to the Mid Hierarch Realm and fused the three lightning origins. Just thinking about it made Jiang Chen extremely excited. Three lightning origins, that terrifying might would surely destroy heaven and earth. Moreover, it would be completely different from the lightning power of the Heavenly Lightning and Pill Lightning he had refined before. This was the origin power of lightning, not to be mentioned in the same breath.

Dragon mark after dragon mark covered Jiang Chen’s body, and bolt after bolt of Heavenly Lightning wound around his dantian. This Zheyu Drought Heavenly Lightning stood on equal footing with the Nine Stars Heavenly Tribulation Lightning and the Dawn Sky Golden Lightning. It took both kinds of lightning together to reach a balance with it, which showed just how ferocious the Zheyu Drought Heavenly Lightning was. Jiang Chen’s breakthrough met no barrier at all, because the origin power of lightning was simply too terrifying. After Jiang Chen fused it, the Divine Origin Strength in his body skyrocketed, his dragon marks sublimated, and his momentum was like a tiger swallowing ten thousand miles!

The Mid Hierarch Realm might not seem very strong, but for Jiang Chen it was a qualitative transformation. His strength now was enough to sweep away any expert below the Half-step Divine Emperor Realm, and facing a Half-step Divine Emperor probably wouldn’t take so much effort either. It was also time to break free of the shackles of this Soul-Devouring Lightning-Sealing Formation.

Dragon Shisan had been driven to desperation by Dou Qing and the other two. Every step was as hard as climbing to heaven, and his will was almost completely worn away. Before long, he might really collapse. It was purely on one last breath that Dragon Shisan had been able to hold on to this point.

“You have no chance left. Death is your only choice. Or else, submit to me and use your soul to become my slave in exchange for your life.”

Dou Qing said coldly. Dragon Shisan was forced back by him once again and dropped to one knee. Even standing up again was extremely difficult. At this moment, Dragon Shisan was close to having his oil used up and his lamp burnt out. But there was nothing he could do. He had already done his best. If he still couldn’t hold on until Jiang Chen broke out of the Soul-Devouring Lightning-Sealing Formation, it would be very hard for him to see Jiang Chen one last time.

What were life-and-death brothers? This was what they were. That Dragon Shisan still hadn’t fallen came from his faith in Jiang Chen.

“F*ck your ancestors! Go dream your pipe dream!”

Dragon Shisan howled wildly. Even if he would face life or death the very next moment, in the second before that, he had not the slightest fear.

“Stubborn to the end. Die!”

Dou Qing shouted in a low voice and charged forward a step, heading straight for Dragon Shisan.

But at this very moment, a huge, deafening explosion came from above the Lightning-Gathering Peak. Thunder burst out of thin air like a comet rising. The entire Profound Connection Divine Palace turned pale with fright and broke into an uproar!

“You’re not worthy of touching my brother.”
