Dragon-Marked War God

“So the Heavenly Lightning has already been taken by the Forbidden Divine Clan as their own? Just how strong are those two Heavenly Lightning guardians of the Forbidden Divine Clan?”

Jiang Chen asked.

“They say those two guardians have been guarding it for several million years. How could they be weak? Rumor has it they’ve already reached the Mid Divine Emperor Realm. Even among us in the Forbidden Demon Clan, no one wants to provoke them, because there’s a great formation from ancient times there, and getting inside is almost impossible. The fact that the Forbidden Divine Clan could send those two peerless experts to guard the Heavenly Lightning shows they already have everything planned out. Since they took that place, our Forbidden Demon Clan hasn’t gone to cause trouble for them. After all, having two Divine Emperor Realm experts watch over the Heavenly Lightning day and night is a huge burden for them too.”

“It seems taking the Heavenly Lightning won’t be easy at all.”

Jiang Chen said.

“What? You want to get the Heavenly Lightning? Are you crazy? Once Heavenly Lightning touches you, you’ll either die or be crippled! The power of Heavenly Lightning isn’t something an ordinary person can control. Getting even a trace of the Heavenly Lightning’s origin power from a Lightning Mother Seed is already extremely rare. And you want the Heavenly Lightning itself? What are you thinking? Little Chen, don’t say I didn’t warn you. Heavenly Lightning is not that easy to tame.”

Han Yan said with an ugly expression.

“Is that so?”

Jiang Chen smiled faintly and moved both hands. In one hand was the Dawn Sky Golden Lightning, and in the other the Nine Stars Heavenly Tribulation Lightning. The flashing lightning was enough to make anyone’s heart tremble.

Han Yan’s face changed completely, and he looked at Jiang Chen in shock and doubt.

“You… you really are a freak. These are two kinds of Heavenly Lightning. Aren’t you afraid of playing with fire and burning yourself? Forget it, it’s not like I’ve never seen how freakish you are, but you’ve just overturned what I thought I knew all over again. You…”

Facing Jiang Chen, Han Yan could only give a helpless, wry smile. Jiang Chen’s Heavenly Lightning had truly opened his eyes. Someone who could control Heavenly Lightning was simply unbelievable, and yet Jiang Chen had done it.

“Do you really plan to devour this Heavenly Lightning?”

Han Yan still could not quite believe it.

“This Heavenly Lightning is extremely terrifying. There’s a reason two Divine Emperor Realm experts are guarding it. This Heavenly Lightning once showed signs of trying to escape, and that’s why they sent two Divine Emperor Realm experts to guard it. It’s only hearsay, but it’s still quite frightening. The terror of this Heavenly Lightning is beyond anything you can imagine. I think you should at least wait until your strength reaches the Divine Emperor Realm before you try.”

“I can’t wait that long. If I don’t break through to the Divine Emperor Realm, how can I force my way into the Central Region Divine Land? And how can I save Qingcheng?”

Jiang Chen shook his head. This was his only chance. Besides, he had three pieces of the Rushing Thunder Chart in hand, so he was fairly confident about seizing the Heavenly Lightning. That was why Jiang Chen dared to put himself in danger. But after hearing what Han Yan said, Jiang Chen also knew that getting this Heavenly Lightning with his current strength would be very hard. Most importantly, the Heavenly Lightning was guarded by Divine Emperor Realm experts and reinforced by a formation, so his chances had shrunk to almost nothing.

“As things stand, I have an idea, though I don’t know if it’ll work.”

Han Yan said.

“Go on.”

Jiang Chen looked at Han Yan. After all, Han Yan had stayed in the Forbidden Divine Land far longer than he had and had a deep understanding of the surroundings, the people and the geography. His words carried a lot of weight.

“First take the Lightning Mother Seed, then take the Heavenly Lightning. No one knows exactly when the Lightning Mother Seed will finish condensing, so we just wait for the rabbit to hit the tree stump. The Forbidden Divine Clan and the Azure Feather Clan won’t wait long. As long as you can seize the Lightning Mother Seed, you’ll probably have a lot more chances to get in there and seize the Heavenly Lightning. Besides, it will be very hard for you to get into the formation guarding the Heavenly Lightning all by yourself. So right now your only option is to find the princess of the Azure Feather Clan. She must have a way to get in there. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have come here to marry into the Forbidden Divine Clan. Their goal is already as plain as day.”

Han Yan’s words put Jiang Chen in a rather awkward spot. Going to find Yu Jingxian now was really embarrassing, but it might be the only way. Otherwise, getting in there by himself would be as hard as climbing to heaven.

“It’s not like there’s some deep blood feud between you. An old flame meeting again, what’s there to be embarrassed about? Hahaha.”

“Get lost…”

Jiang Chen snapped and glared at Han Yan, the look in his eyes almost murderous.

“You don’t have to listen to me, but if you don’t believe me, you might just miss the Heavenly Lightning, hahaha. What’s right and what’s wrong, how to decide, it’s up to you. I’m just a bystander, but if you need anything, I’ll definitely help you.”

Han Yan said with a grin. At this point Jiang Chen also fell silent. According to Han Yan, even if his strength reached the Divine Emperor Realm, even if he could fight Divine Emperor Realm experts, breaking through a formation guarded by two Mid Divine Emperor Realm experts would still be extremely difficult. One careless move and he might well fall here. After all, a mighty dragon cannot crush a local snake. The Forbidden Divine Clan was so formidable that even the Forbidden Demon Clan had not been able to defeat them after tens of millions of years of war. The Forbidden Divine Clan was definitely not easy to deal with either.

“I don’t think your Forbidden Demon Clan will sit idly by this time, will it? After all, this Lightning Mother Seed is a true treasure. Can your Forbidden Demon Clan bear to watch it fall into someone else’s pocket?”

Jiang Chen said with a smile.

“You’re right. The people of the Forbidden Demon Clan probably won’t let it go either, but so far the higher-ups haven’t issued any orders. Once they do make a move, the Forbidden Demon Clan will surely gather its experts as well. The fight over the Lightning Mother Seed this time is bound to be earth-shaking.”

Han Yan said in a deep voice.

“Good. Seen this way, the fight over this Heavenly Lightning is bound to be a stormy battle.”

Jiang Chen smiled. The Azure Feather Clan, the Forbidden Demon Clan and the Forbidden Divine Clan were all gathering here. The appearance of the Lightning Mother Seed would certainly throw them into confusion, and then he would have an opening to exploit.

“Buzz—”

Just then, a black feather token in Han Yan’s robes began to vibrate. Han Yan frowned and said,

“It’s a summons from the Eldest Young Lord of the Demon Clan. It looks like the Forbidden Demon Clan is finally going to make a move over the Lightning Mother Seed this time.”

“Let’s split up. You go find your old flame, I’m sure you’ll get something out of it. See you later, Little Chen. Haha.”

Han Yan turned and left. He knew it would not be long before they met again.

Jiang Chen frowned. It seemed going to find Yu Jingxian had become urgent.
