Dragon-Marked War God

“How can this guy have the Eastern Emperor Bell? Isn’t Donghuang Taiyi already dead? The Eastern Emperor Bell was broken to pieces, but that is clearly the Eastern Emperor Bell.”

The Heavenly Lightning Spirit murmured, its lightning assault not the least bit weaker. If it really were Donghuang Taiyi here, it would surely be no match. Its heart was pounding now too. What relationship did this guy have with Donghuang Taiyi? How could he have the Eastern Emperor Bell? And he even knew the Eastern Emperor Limitless Art. Could he be Donghuang Taiyi’s successor?

Jiang Chen wielded the Eastern Emperor Bell and had long since used Dragon Transformation. His fighting strength was astonishing, yet under the onslaught of the Thousand Flames Annihilation Lightning, he still could hardly break out.

“Who exactly are you? Why is the Eastern Emperor Bell in your hands? What is Donghuang Taiyi to you?”

The Heavenly Lightning Spirit said in a low, deep voice. An invisible pressure enveloped Jiang Chen. When the power of the Heavenly Lightning faded, blood seeped from the corner of Jiang Chen’s mouth. If not for how terrifying the Eastern Emperor Bell was, Jiang Chen probably could not have withstood this supreme Heavenly Lightning at all.

“You actually know Donghuang Taiyi? Could you be a Heavenly Lightning that has existed since ancient times?”

Jiang Chen said.

“Some things are not for you to know. You have the Eastern Emperor Bell in hand, but you’re too weak, and the Eastern Emperor Bell isn’t a complete divine weapon now either. It’s impossible for you to do anything to me. Even if you are Donghuang Taiyi’s successor, don’t even think of showing off your might here. One Eastern Emperor Bell is nowhere near enough to suppress me.”

The Heavenly Lightning Spirit shouted in a deep voice and drove the Heavenly Lightning at Jiang Chen once more.

“If one Eastern Emperor Bell isn’t enough, then here’s another.”

Jiang Chen laughed coldly. A banner fluttered in his hand. He gripped the Black Burying Flag tightly, and a terrifying aura spread out in an instant. Black wind raged and clashed again and again with the Heavenly Lightning. The power of wind and lightning formed a chaotic storm that began to turn the entire canyon upside down. Rocks and sand flew, it was like raging waves crashing against the shore, and rolling waves of Heavenly Lightning forced Jiang Chen back once again. Breaking through the Heavenly Lightning Spirit’s defenses was absolutely not that simple for Jiang Chen either.

Jiang Chen fought while retreating. Under his two hands, the formation changed again. With one hand he set up the Whirlwind Black Burying Formation, with the other the Ashura Sword Formation. He fought and retreated as the formations kept taking shape, the Black Burying Flag and the Heavenly Dragon Sword placed on either side. This time Jiang Chen meant to go all out and fight the Heavenly Lightning Spirit to the death.

“This sword… such a familiar feeling. I seem to have been wounded by it before… And this Black Burying Flag seems to belong to some peerless demon lord.”

The Heavenly Lightning Spirit’s gaze turned grave once again. Jiang Chen had more than one or two divine weapons. The Eastern Emperor Bell, the Heavenly Dragon Sword, the Black Burying Flag instantly caught the Heavenly Lightning Spirit’s eye. It felt that this guy in front of it was rather troublesome. A Half-step Divine Emperor holding heavy treasures. Even a Divine Emperor Realm expert who owned just one of these divine weapons could sweep away all opposition, yet he had so many of them. It was enough to make anyone envious. He was loaded with treasures, but his strength was still far, far too weak.

“Even with such treasures, I will still tear you into ten thousand pieces. I want to see just where you came from.”

The Heavenly Lightning Spirit knew Jiang Chen held quite a few treasures, and a hint of covetousness showed in its eyes. Once it took human form, when the Heavenly Lightning turned into rain, and returned to being a Great Emperor Realm expert, the divine weapons in Jiang Chen’s hands would all be rare treasures. If it wiped out Jiang Chen and seized these three heavy treasures, its future achievements would surely surpass its past. The Eastern Emperor Bell, the Heavenly Dragon Sword, the Black Burying Flag. These three divine weapons, especially the Eastern Emperor Bell, which was hailed as the foremost divine tool of ancient times and stood above all the heavenly weapons of the ten directions. Otherwise the Heavenly Lightning Spirit would not have been so wary of it. But it seemed the Eastern Emperor Bell was not complete, and his strength was too low, which only made the Heavenly Lightning Spirit covet the Eastern Emperor Bell all the more.

“Then first break through these two formations of mine.”

Jiang Chen controlled the Whirlwind Black Burying Formation with one hand. The wind rose and the sky dried, the hurricane swept everything bare, its momentum swallowing mountains and rivers fierce as a tiger. A great wind rises, and the clouds fly!

The Whirlwind Black Burying Formation had taken shape. What Jiang Chen needed was to resist the Heavenly Lightning Spirit and wear down its power. Wiping it out directly was almost impossible, so Jiang Chen could only use a roundabout tactic and begin a war of attrition with the Heavenly Lightning Spirit. Jiang Chen had the Myriad Qi Body and was not afraid at all. As long as he could drag the Heavenly Lightning Spirit down, he would have a chance to swallow it.

Jiang Chen’s right hand moved again and again, and the Ashura Sword Formation was also laid out. Controlling two great formations at the same time was the first time Jiang Chen had ever done this, and the drain was astonishing. Even the Heavenly Lightning Spirit was rather surprised. Guarded by these two great formations, Jiang Chen could not be broken at all. This Half-step Divine Emperor human seemed weak, yet he was even more troublesome than those two Mid Divine Emperor old fogeys.

“Two great formations, interesting. But you still underestimate the power of my Heavenly Lightning.”

The huge face above the canyon began to change little by little, its smile growing more and more endearingly simple-looking. A chubby face, yet it was planning everything carefully.

“Thousand Flames Lightning-Transforming Strike!”

One terrifying bolt of lightning origin after another came, with flashing sparks of electricity and fire, frightening to behold. Jiang Chen’s two great formations met it head-on without the slightest fear. At this point the Heavenly Lightning Spirit’s assault grew sharper and sharper, but Jiang Chen held his formations firmly. Even those bolts of lightning, even the eruption of its origin power, could not wipe out two incomparable formations in an instant.

“Damned guy.”

The Heavenly Lightning Spirit roared angrily. More and more of its origin power had been used up, yet Jiang Chen’s formations were still as steady as Mount Tai, without any sign of breaking.

Only Jiang Chen himself knew the pain he was in. The pressure of the Thousand Flames Annihilation Lightning was no simple thing. Being able to drive back two Mid Divine Emperor experts naturally made it no simple thing. A starved camel is still bigger than a horse. If he wanted to fight the Thousand Flames Annihilation Lightning to the death now, the time was not yet right after all.

“Break!”

The Heavenly Lightning Spirit roared furiously. Lightning snakes gushed from its mouth, and blasts of origin power ravaged the void. Jiang Chen’s two formations finally could not withstand the Heavenly Lightning Spirit’s origin power. That all-crushing assault sent Jiang Chen flying back explosively and inflicted heavy wounds all over his body. The two formations were shattered to pieces. Jiang Chen was still a move behind and was heavily knocked back.

“Do you still want to fight me now?”

The Heavenly Lightning Spirit said coolly.

“Why not? Let’s see which of us has the last laugh. Please, begin your performance. Hahaha.”

Jiang Chen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his gaze growing ever firmer.

“Good, good, good! Let’s see how long you can last. Refusing to give up even when the oil is gone and the lamp burns out. You’re a real man.”

The Heavenly Lightning Spirit laughed coldly. Its left eye flashed, and a bolt of lightning fell from the sky, fire surging and lightning flickering in its gaze.

Jiang Chen brought out four divine weapons at once, the Eastern Emperor Bell, the Cold River Stone, the Heavenly Dragon Sword and the Black Burying Flag, and rose up to meet heaven and earth, soaring ten thousand miles.

He was going to wear it down like a falconer wearing down a hawk, and grind this Heavenly Lightning Spirit to death!
