Dragon-Marked War God

“Now do you know how formidable my Heavenly Lightning is? It seems it’s a little too late.”

Jiang Chen said calmly. In the blink of an eye, the three Heavenly Lightnings had completed their fusion. In that moment, the three bolts of lightning became one, forming a three-colored lightning snake. Light and electricity surged as it gathered in Jiang Chen’s palm. Jiang Chen’s face was grave. The leaping lightning and electric snakes were like ferocious prehistoric beasts opening their bloody jaws and fangs, wanting to break free of the cage of heaven and earth and run rampant across the sky!

In that instant, even Jiang Chen felt as though the divine origin strength in his body had been completely drained. Fusing three Heavenly Lightnings was no easy matter even for Jiang Chen, so unless he had no other choice, he would not use all three Heavenly Lightnings. But at this moment, it was a matter of utmost urgency. He had no choice but to fight a decisive battle of life and death.

Jiang Chen knew that if he waited any longer, it would only get harder. The fused Heavenly Lightning turned into a three-colored lotus, its bewitching petals in full bloom. The lightning glowed faintly, carrying a power that could destroy heaven and earth, and everyone’s expression changed at the sight of it.

“Fall back!!!”

Wu De the Enlightened bellowed and was the first to retreat. But how could Jiang Chen give him the chance? Hadn’t they just been clamoring to see what Jiang Chen could do after fusing his Heavenly Lightning? Now they had turned into turtles pulling their heads into their shells, the first to retreat, frightened until their faces turned green.

The other five did not dare to stay either and quickly retreated. Facing this terrifying fusion of three Heavenly Lightnings, they finally knew what it truly meant to underestimate an enemy. They might even pay for it with their lives. Everyone was greatly alarmed. But the six Golden Body Arhats, Wu De the Enlightened and the others, standing at the very front, could not escape.

“It’s already too late.”

Jiang Chen said with a faint smile. The lightning lotus in his hand was released and came crashing down. Like a comet exploding, it spread out completely through the whole Spirit Vulture Cave. The first to bear the brunt were the six Golden Body Arhats. They had no chance of escape at all.

The enormous lightning lotus spread out. As it surged, the Heavenly Lightning exploded with a roar. Electric snakes filled the void, and streak after streak of white light flashed amid the thunder and lightning, completely swallowing the six of them. In that moment, everyone felt their scalps go numb. Even the Monk Tyrant and Wei Xiaolong and the others felt a wave of fear. They were forced back by this incomparably terrifying fused Heavenly Lightning. Its might was so great that they were almost caught up in it.

Jiang Chen let out a long breath and dropped to one knee, his face deathly pale. He had used up almost every last bit of strength in his body. He was truly so exhausted that he felt completely drained.

Jiang Chen raised his head and looked at the gradually fading light of the Heavenly Lightning. The whole Spirit Vulture Cave of the Great Snow Mountain was a complete mess, yet nothing had been damaged. That was what shocked Jiang Chen the most. It truly deserved to be the place where the Buddha attained enlightenment. It absolutely could not be underestimated.

In that moment, there was no one whose throat did not feel dry. The fusion of three Heavenly Lightnings had completely crushed the six Golden Body Arhats. When the thunder and lightning had completely ended, everyone craned their necks to look, but of the six Golden Body Arhats, only three remained, and they too were gravely wounded, on their last breath.

Yuan De the Enlightened, Wu De the Enlightened and Wuyin the Enlightened. The bodies of the three of them were riddled with holes, and their injuries were so serious that their souls had nearly been scattered. Terror was written all over each of their eyes.

Yuan Qing the Enlightened, Yuan Bao the Enlightened and Shenyin the Enlightened had been completely reduced to ashes, body and spirit scattered.

“Jiang Chen is way too strong, isn’t he? Such terrifying methods. That’s just shameless.”

“Yeah. Fusing Heavenly Lightning, I wouldn’t even dare think about it. Before the Heavenly Lightning even fused together, I’d probably be struck dead by it myself. This guy is really dancing alone on the tip of a blade.”

“It has to be said that this guy has exceeded all our expectations. But even so, his strength has now been greatly reduced.”

The whole Spirit Vulture Cave of the Great Snow Mountain was deathly silent. This Jiang Chen was far too terrifying. At this moment, no one dared to act rashly.

“Damn it, how does my fused Heavenly Lightning taste?”

Jiang Chen sneered as he looked at Yuan De the Enlightened and the other two. The three of them hated Jiang Chen to the bone, and the looks on their faces were indescribably ugly. Their strength was now less than a tenth of what it had been. Yuan Qing, Yuan Bao and Shenyin the Enlightened had been completely reduced to ashes simply because their strength was slightly weaker than theirs. The trembling in their hearts could well be imagined.

“You must be at the end of your rope too now. You’re not necessarily any better off than we are.”

Yuan De the Enlightened said coldly. At this moment, there was nothing left for them to fear. They were gravely wounded, but Jiang Chen’s strength had also been hollowed out. On top of that, he had been injured before, so his situation right now was not necessarily any better than theirs. Most importantly, Fire Qilin and the Reincarnated Living Buddha were still very hard to deal with.

“Fire Qilin, fight alongside me. Let’s wipe out all these guys. Little Chen has protected us for so long. Now it’s our turn to cut a bloody path out for him.”

The Monk Tyrant said, his chest bare, his eyes extremely dark.

“Today, I’m going on a killing spree. Let’s see who can stop me. The Buddha said, ‘If I don’t enter hell, who will?’ Since I’m going to enter the eighteenth level of hell anyway, I’ll start with you.”

The Monk Tyrant looked at Fire Qilin. Fire Qilin let out a low roar and nodded heavily.

“All right!”

One man and one beast charged out. At this moment, their charge completely held off Xuanyuan Yumo and the others. But at the same time, the two sides fell into a complete standoff, and neither could do anything to the other. Fire Qilin was powerful and the Monk Tyrant was ferocious, but the other side was no pushover either. Wei Xiaolong, Xuanyuan Yumo, Dou Bai, Lan Mao, Luo Binwang and seven Half-step Divine Emperors. This force was quite terrifying.

It would probably be quite difficult to break this balance for a while. Jiang Chen kept recovering his strength. The Myriad Qi Body helped him improve greatly. Jiang Chen had to recover as soon as possible, so that he could go and help Fire Qilin and the Monk Tyrant. At this time, Jiang Chen always felt that something else was about to happen. What he feared most was that while the mantis stalked the cicada, an oriole was waiting behind.

The battle between Fire Qilin and the Monk Tyrant and the others dragged on without a breakthrough, and the two of them had also fallen into a passive position. After all, there were simply too many people on the other side, each with different methods. If they could not drive them back as soon as possible, it would come down to each side’s abilities.

But at this time, what Jiang Chen was worried about finally happened after all. Several extremely powerful figures came tearing through the air and appeared out of nowhere in front of the Spirit Vulture Cave of the Great Snow Mountain.

“Amitabha, good, good. Eminent monks, you have suffered. This poor monk has arrived, and the demons will surely have nowhere to hide.”

A monk draped in a golden kasaya formed a Buddhist salute with one hand and said with a grave face. Beside him was a man of similar strength, and behind them were four Half-step Divine Emperor experts.

“It’s you!”

Wu De the Enlightened’s expression froze, and his breathing quickened. These people were none other than Venerable Jianan and Venerable Anan of Kasyapa Temple.

Kasyapa Temple was second only to the Great Thunderclap Temple, the Lesser Thunderclap Temple and Prajna Temple. With the Great Thunderclap Temple completely destroyed and the Lesser Thunderclap Temple paying no attention to the mortal world, the only power that could contend with Kasyapa Temple was Prajna Temple.

But Prajna Temple had not sent anyone. Kasyapa Temple stood alone at the top and had stood proudly aloof to the very end. They had not made a move until this moment, which Wu De the Enlightened found extremely puzzling. They were really far too full of themselves.
