Dragon-Marked War God

Soul Exterminating and Soul Seizing had dealt the Heavenly Lightning Spirit’s soul a fatal, heavy blow. At this moment it was finally cowed, because it knew its soul power had become extremely fragile. This guy who had popped up from who knew where actually possessed an Emperor Realm soul. It was simply unbelievable.

The Heavenly Lightning Spirit could not be called anything but formidable, but there is always someone stronger. Jiang Chen’s strength was even more terrifying. Under his fierce attacks, the Heavenly Lightning Spirit had at last been completely drained of its vigor. At the same time, Jiang Chen’s own stamina was also used up. His whole body was in incomparable pain. If not for the strength of his soul power, Jiang Chen would probably have been obliterated by now.

“Who I am isn’t important. What’s important is that you’ve already lost. So from now on, there’s no way you can pose any threat to me anymore. I’m going to swallow you, reach the strength of the Divine Emperor Realm, and fuse a fourth Heavenly Lightning.”

Jiang Chen slowly stood up, his face full of pride. Hard work had not let him down. He had finally defeated the Heavenly Lightning Spirit. He had narrowly escaped death, but the final result was still very gratifying.

“I never thought I would actually lose to a Half-step Divine Emperor brat. Truly fate. Fate makes fools of us all. But with your strength, you can’t swallow me. My soul power will not submit. Even though my oil is spent and my lamp is burning out, even if I don’t resist, you still couldn’t do it, because your strength is far, far too weak.”

The Heavenly Lightning Spirit said in a deep voice.

“Then today I’ll give it a try and see whether or not I can suppress you.”

Jiang Chen’s eyes turned cold. He refused to believe it. The more this Heavenly Lightning Spirit said Jiang Chen could not suppress it, the angrier Jiang Chen became. He simply refused to believe he could not suppress this Heavenly Lightning Spirit.

“I am the Heavenly Lightning Divine Dragon from above the Divine Court of the ancient era. Even the Eastern Emperor Bell can’t trap me, let alone the Eastern Emperor Bell in your hands, which is incomplete.”

The Heavenly Lightning Spirit said coldly.

“The Divine Court? The Divine Court again?”

Jiang Chen frowned. Just what was the origin of this Divine Court, and what kind of place was it? Back then the Gate of the Divine Court had already made him extremely curious, and now he was even more filled with curiosity.

“Then try it and see. Sword, come!”

Jiang Chen gripped the Heavenly Dragon Sword. The Eastern Emperor Bell, the Cold River Stone and the Black Burying Flag, four great divine weapons, pressed the Heavenly Lightning Spirit down. But the Heavenly Lightning Spirit’s unyielding will still left Jiang Chen deeply shaken. These four divine weapons might all be somewhat incomplete, yet none of the four could suppress the Heavenly Lightning Spirit’s soul. It still stood with its head held high, its momentum like a rainbow. That was an unyielding will that had nothing to do with strength, like the supreme experts above the nine heavens whose bearing ordinary people could never hope to reach.

“Ancestral Dragon Pagoda!”

Jiang Chen brought out the Ancestral Dragon Pagoda once again, and at this moment the Heavenly Lightning Spirit cried out in alarm, incomparably shaken.

“It’s him, it’s him. Why is it him? But I can no longer remember.”

The Heavenly Lightning Spirit slowly transformed into a middle-aged man dressed all in white, imposing and powerful in bearing. He stood in the void, his whole body wreathed in thunder and lightning that would not fade.

“You know the Ancestral Dragon Pagoda?”

Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes slightly.

“So what if I know it, and so what if I don’t? Hahaha, I’ve forgotten everything. Even that sword, I’ve forgotten it too. It’s just that the memories of them in my mind run too deep, far too deep. Even if I wanted to forget, I couldn’t.”

The Heavenly Lightning Spirit said lightly, his face cold, looking at Jiang Chen. Their eyes met, and Jiang Chen could feel his unstoppable domineering spirit and fierce might. He was like a great weapon of slaughter with its edge fully bared, one that no one would dare to approach.

“Even adding this broken Ancestral Dragon Pagoda, you still can’t possibly suppress me. What kind of power can a few leftover divine weapons have? Hahaha.”

The Heavenly Lightning Spirit stood with his hands at his sides and said in a deep voice.

“Once more. Myriad Qi Cauldron! Suppress him for me!”

Jiang Chen brought out the Myriad Qi Cauldron again. At this moment, the Heavenly Lightning Spirit’s face finally turned ugly, and his soul showed a trace of stagnation. Jiang Chen knew his chance had come.

“There’s more? This is… the Shennong Cauldron. You even have the Shennong Cauldron.”

This time the Heavenly Lightning Spirit was completely speechless. This Half-step Divine Emperor guy was simply too abnormal. This was practically going to cost him his life. Once the Shennong Cauldron appeared, he completely lost his earlier arrogance. At this moment, his soul power was finally being suppressed little by little by Jiang Chen.

“Now you should understand who the real big shot is, right? Fighting me, you’re still too green. If I don’t suppress a guy like you, how am I supposed to swallow the lightning? Heh heh.”

Jiang Chen sneered. No matter how strong this Heavenly Lightning Spirit was, he could still suppress him. Jiang Chen now had a great many divine weapons and treasures in his hands, and he was not afraid of this guy at all.

“The Shennong Cauldron, the Eastern Emperor Bell, the Ancestral Dragon Pagoda, the Heavenly Dragon Sword, the Black Burying Flag, the Cold River Stone… Kid, could it be that you really came from the primordial era? How on earth did you obtain these legendary divine weapons?”

The Heavenly Lightning Spirit said with a sigh. He knew he could not escape death today, but he did not want to die so ignorantly.

“Chosen by the Mandate of Heaven, selected by the heavens. That’s just how willful I am. What of it?”

Jiang Chen stood with his arms crossed, the corners of his mouth cold.

“Don’t you want to know the origins of the divine weapons and treasures in your hands? Are you really willing to just kill me outright? I don’t think you would.”

The Heavenly Lightning Spirit said in a deep voice.

“Are you bargaining with me?”

Jiang Chen said.

“Each of us simply takes what he needs.”

The Heavenly Lightning Spirit said.

“Let’s hear it.”

Jiang Chen looked at the Heavenly Lightning Spirit with great interest. He also wanted to see what tricks this guy could pull.

“If you want to swallow me, fine. But leave me a wisp of Heavenly Lightning origin, and after ten thousand years I can come back to life. I was born and nurtured by heaven and earth. If you swallow me completely, you’ll be going against the will of heaven and earth and acting against the heavens, and you won’t come to a good end. In return, I can tell you some things about the origins of these divine weapons and treasures of yours, because I saw a hint of curiosity in your eyes. That shows you don’t know the divine weapons and treasures in your hands as well as you know your own family heirlooms. Although I’ve forgotten most of my memories, I still know quite a lot about these divine weapons and treasures of yours and where they came from. This deal isn’t a loss for you. Leaving me a wisp of origin power won’t stop you from swallowing my Heavenly Lightning origin and gaining the power of Heavenly Lightning.”

The Heavenly Lightning Spirit’s words tempted Jiang Chen somewhat. He had seen through what Jiang Chen was thinking. Jiang Chen did indeed have quite a few questions he wanted to ask this Heavenly Lightning Spirit. This guy had survived since the primordial era. Although, by his own account, he had forgotten part of his memories, he seemed quite interested in Jiang Chen’s divine weapons, and Jiang Chen himself was extremely curious about the Divine Court. This guy had truly seized on his curiosity.
