Dragon-Marked War God

The four divine weapons instantly linked into a single line, meant to suppress this Heavenly Lightning. The Heavenly Lightning Spirit grew more and more grave. The divine weapons in Jiang Chen’s hands kept coming one after another, brought out at will. Against the four divine weapons, the Heavenly Lightning Spirit’s lightning strike was just barely blocked by Jiang Chen.

“The Cold River Stone… this belongs to the Destructive Ice God. Where on earth did you come from?”

The Heavenly Lightning Spirit was somewhat covetous. Could it be that the Destructive Ice God stood behind Jiang Chen? Or that Donghuang Taiyi was his solid backing? Why did he dare to be so unbridled? Why did he dare try to swallow it? It seemed there were no waves without wind. The more it thought about it, the more this kid’s background seemed worth pondering to the Heavenly Lightning Spirit.

“There’s a lot more you don’t know. Now, let me show you my Heavenly Lightning too.”

Protected by the four divine weapons, Jiang Chen held three kinds of Heavenly Lightning in his hands and wove them together: the Dawn Sky Golden Lightning, the Nine Stars Heavenly Tribulation Lightning, the Zheyu Drought Heavenly Lightning, and then those terrifying Heavenly Lightning Pearls. Four kinds of Heavenly Lightning converged in an instant. At that moment, even the Heavenly Lightning Spirit could no longer stay calm.

“Bastard, how can you possibly control so many Heavenly Lightnings at the same time?”

The Heavenly Lightning Spirit was greatly shocked. It, a Heavenly Lightning Spirit that had survived since ancient times, had actually become inferior to a Half-step Divine Emperor brat. Four divine weapons, a full four divine weapons, and four layers of Heavenly Lightning besides. How on earth had he done it? A monstrous genius like this would have been an extremely powerful existence even in ancient times. Now the Heavenly Lightning Spirit grew more and more curious about his identity. Anyone carrying so many divine weapons was surely someone of great fortune. Perhaps his terrifying background could bring it even more gains, who knew.

“That’s exactly why I want to swallow you too. Then the Heavenly Lightning I’ve fused will be even more, and you’ll become part of my Heavenly Lightning.”

Jiang Chen smiled brightly. The four kinds of Heavenly Lightning in his hands had already finished converging. A look of shock had now fully appeared on the Heavenly Lightning Spirit’s huge face. With four kinds of Heavenly Lightning gathered together, that terrifying explosive force could even destroy heaven and earth. This entire canyon might cease to exist.

“I’m not that easy to deal with.”

The Heavenly Lightning Spirit said coldly. Lightning flashed in its eyes and electric light shot from its mouth. Blast after blast of origin power turned into void lightning dragons that appeared in the nine heavens and instantly clashed with the Death Lightning Lotus in Jiang Chen’s hands.

A flash of splendor! The entire void turned deathly still. For the first time, Jiang Chen felt a threat like death itself. The terror of the Thousand Flames Annihilation Lightning went even beyond his imagination, especially as it was now. Those terrifying flame lightning dragons tore through the void. Under the impact of the Death Lightning Lotus they were badly damaged, but they did not fall. Yet this blow left both Jiang Chen and the Heavenly Lightning Spirit in extreme pain. Each had wounded the enemy a thousand and lost eight hundred, and who would have the last laugh was a complete mystery.

The Heavenly Lightning dispersed, and the Death Lightning Lotus turned to nothing. The Heavenly Lightning Spirit’s origin power was nearly exhausted too. Jiang Chen shuddered and dropped to one knee. At that moment he was completely spent, the oil gone and the lamp burned out. The divine origin power in his body was nearly drained.

Jiang Chen looked up at that enormous, terrifying face. It had already shrunk more than tenfold, and its phantom was growing weaker and weaker. Jiang Chen knew this Heavenly Lightning Spirit must be feeling quite miserable too. Its condition was not necessarily much better than his.

“Old thing, you’re not dead yet, are you? If the Heavenly Lightning Spirit just went out like that, it would be really embarrassing.”

Jiang Chen laughed loudly while constantly restoring his divine origin qi, which surged wildly. At this moment, he was sure he would recover faster than the Heavenly Lightning Spirit.

“Kid, I have to admit you’re even more troublesome than those two Mid Divine Emperors. But do you think you have nothing to worry about now? Do you think I’m beaten just like that?”

The Heavenly Lightning Spirit was still extremely cold and spoke coolly, as if its face would not change even if Mount Tai collapsed before it. There was no sign that it was in any difficulty.

“Stop pretending. Your situation now isn’t necessarily any better than mine. You were already badly wounded before, and then you fought this battle with me. If you still had the strength to wipe me out now, would you stop?”

Jiang Chen sneered.

“You’re clever. I can’t kill you, but can you kill me? You want to swallow me, but even with me on my last breath, you might not get the chance even at your peak. Let alone now, when you’ve completely lost your fighting strength.”

The Heavenly Lightning Spirit said disdainfully. Both of them seemed to be goading the other into making a move, but neither Jiang Chen nor the Heavenly Lightning Spirit struck with force. For one thing, they no longer had the ability. If it came to a final blow, it could very well end in complete defeat, with no chance of recovery.

Jiang Chen was testing it, and wasn’t the Heavenly Lightning Spirit doing the same?

“If you tell me where you come from, maybe I can spare your life.”

The Heavenly Lightning Spirit said.

“Do you think I need you to spare me? I think the one who should kneel and beg for mercy is you. Heavenly Lightning Spirit, heh, no more than this.”

Jiang Chen’s arrogance and domineering manner made the Heavenly Lightning Spirit angrier and angrier. Its giant human face, still a hundred zhang across, rippled in the void, its eyes nearly spitting fire. It had never met anyone as arrogant as Jiang Chen.

“In a moment, you’ll know how stupid you are.”

The Heavenly Lightning Spirit said coldly.

“Is that so? I’ll be waiting to see!”

Jiang Chen rose with his sword and stood proudly, staring straight at the Heavenly Lightning Spirit in the void, his heroic spirit soaring to the clouds.

“My soul power is beyond anything you can reach. So from this moment on, your soul is under my control!”

The Heavenly Lightning Spirit said.

“Is that so? Then first find out whether this Emperor Realm soul of mine is stronger or weaker compared to yours.”

“Soul Seizing Divine Art, Dead Spirit Kill Soul!”

In an instant, Jiang Chen’s terrifying Emperor Realm soul began sweeping across the sky. His soul power filled the entire canyon, carrying a strange attack that churned up the nine heavens as fast as lightning, too fast to cover one’s ears.

“No— this is impossible! Bastard, who are you?”

A furious roar burst from the Heavenly Lightning Spirit’s mouth, its face frighteningly dark.

All things have spirits, all things have souls, and the Heavenly Lightning Spirit was no exception. It had thought that with the might of its soul it could easily suppress Jiang Chen, but instead it had tried to steal a chicken and lost its rice. Its own soul had been struck by an attack that exterminated and seized souls, and it had been greatly harmed.

The Heavenly Lightning Spirit’s soul had taken a heavy blow from Jiang Chen. This time, it was completely cowed…
