Chapter 1531: Had Enough Yet?
"Ancient Dragon Taming Technique, activate for me!"Yun Xiao’s heart roared with fury, then the mystical cultivation technique formed by the Blood Moon Jade began to run wildly, as torrents of majestic Meridian Qi continuously poured into the two Thunder Attribute Ancestral Veins under his shoulders.
This time, even though Yun Xiao knew the flaws and methods to counter the Five Thunders Descending, he chose not to use these crafty means to deal with it.
Because the Thunder Attribute Energy unleashed by the Empress and Emperor Canglong appeared to him as a kind of supplement, which might greatly enhance his two Thunder Attribute Ancestral Veins.
After Yun Xiao’s rebirth, the ever-emerging Ancestral Veins were capable of independent growth, which allowed him, when in the Lingyun Realm, to use the Five Elements Ancestor Veins Power to successfully elevate by a small realm.
All these were rooted in Yun Xiao’s constant devouring and refining of heavenly materials and earthly treasures that matched his Ancestral Veins’ attributes.
In addition, during his encounters at the Slaughter Spirit Battlefield and Impermanence Island, Yun Xiao harvested countless Strange Spirit Crystals of various attributes, which significantly empowered his multiple Ancestral Veins.
However, Thunder Attribute heavenly materials and earthly treasures are hard to come by, and Thunder Attribute Strange Spirits are quite rare. For a long time, his two Thunder Attribute Ancestral Veins have been at a standstill.
At this moment, the Five Thunders Descending unleashed by the Empress and Emperor Canglong is undoubtedly the nourishment for Yun Xiao’s Thunder Attribute Ancestral Veins’ growth, provided he is exceptionally familiar with this Thunder Attribute method.
If another Cloud Ascending Realm Middle Stage cultivator were in Yun Xiao’s position, even if they cultivated Thunder Attribute techniques, they would likely be reduced to ashes in an instant under such a Five Thunders Descending.
Considering the profound power of the Empress and Emperor Canglong, even a mere clone projection can exhibit Heavenly Realm Middle Stage might, the disparity between them is insurmountable.
This is the reason why the cultivators below, upon seeing Yun Xiao struck by five heavenly thunders, assumed he had no chance of survival.
But no one knew, Yun Xiao profoundly understood the Five Thunders Descending, possessed two powerful Thunder Attribute Ancestral Veins, and coupled with the voracious running of the Ancient Dragon Taming Technique’s devouring power, everything became possible.
Moreover, a being that devours everything resided within Yun Xiao, and nearly half of the Thunder Attribute Energy Yun Xiao initially intended to absorb was seized by the Golden Snake Worm Xiao Wu.
"You creature, you truly don’t let anything pass by!"
Sensing those rampant thunder attribute energies being snatched away by Xiao Wu, Yun Xiao internally cursed yet knew it was futile to try stopping it.
"I’m helping you, don’t you wonder if you really can handle it all?"
Xiao Wu retorted, slightly annoyed, without pausing a bit, and seemed to become even more aggressive, implying this assertion made the action more justified.
In outsiders’ view, Yun Xiao was about to be doomed and obliterated, yet had the leisure to banter with Xiao Wu, suggesting that the supposedly formidable Five Thunders Power posed minimal threat to him.
"Hmm?"
Until this moment, Empress and Emperor Canglong sensed something amiss, realizing that the aura of the ragged youth struck by the five thunders did not alter drastically.
Empress and Emperor Canglong was deeply familiar with her Five Thunders Descending method, such that even a Nine-layered Dragon Cloud expert of the same level would typically dodge or dare not directly confront it.
The boy relying only on Ancestor Vein Power to achieve Cloud Ascending Realm Middle Stage, having been hit by the five thunders, was supposed to dissipate into thin air instantly or at least be torn apart.
Yet after numerous breaths had passed, the figure of the youth amidst the fading thunderbolt appeared calm, seemingly unscathed by the endless lightning power.
"Not good, the Five Thunders Power is disappearing!"
Shortly after, Empress and Emperor Canglong realized the fact; the demolishing Five Thunders Power not only failed to harm the youth but was slowly devoured by some unique force.
As time went on, this sensing grew more distinct, making the expression of Empress and Emperor Canglong increasingly unpleasant, while her form grew more ethereal.
"What on earth is happening?"
Seeing the youth’s silhouette becoming clearer as the thunderbolt faded, Empress and Emperor Canglong was truly puzzled.
How could her previously unrivaled techniques have no effect on the ragged youth, be it the earlier Void Phoenix Attack or now the Five Thunders Descending ended futile?
"We cannot remain here any longer!"
No matter how doubtful or unwilling the Azure Dragon Empress felt, she was aware of a fact: after using the Five Thunders Technique this time, she had no way to deal with that youth anymore.
After all, Lu Qinwan was merely a clone projection, and the continuous three attacks had already consumed almost all the energy of this clone.
Moreover, there was a time limit for the clone projection to remain visible. Lu Qinwan knew very well that the time was drawing near; if this continued, her precious disciple might truly perish here.
"Tsk tsk, this feeling is truly wonderful!"
While Lu Qinwan was having some thoughts, the young man, who had already emerged from the thunder and lightning, casually stretched his body and sighed with a satisfied voice.
This time, Yun Xiao’s gains were considerable. That was the Five Thunders Descending cast by a Heavenly Realm Middle Stage expert, even containing most of Lu Qinwan’s clone projection’s power.
Not only did Yun Xiao’s two Thunder Attribute Ancestral Veins powers receive a significant boost, but his Meridian Qi Cultivation also made substantial progress, possibly allowing him to soon break through to the Cloud Ascending Realm Middle Stage.
"This..."
Compared to Yun Xiao and Lu Qinwan, the onlookers below stared wide-eyed, seemingly unable to believe the scene before them.
Earlier, they had all pronounced a death sentence on Yun Xiao, whether it was those from the Spirit Fighting Commerce like Wei Duzheng or friends from Demons Mountain who valued Yun Xiao extremely highly.
But now, the youth was still floating in the air unscathed, his aura even more majestic than before.
All of this indicated that Yun Xiao had suffered no harm in the Five Thunders onslaught, as if the previous events were just a joke.
At this moment, the younger generation like Luo Fusheng Xiao Ming cast eyes of disdain at that illusory figure, inwardly scoffing that the woman was indeed an impostor, and those seemingly powerful methods were just for show, devoid of real power.
If Lu Qinwan knew what these lower plane ants were thinking, wouldn’t she spew out a mouthful of old blood in rage?
However, up to this point, she hadn’t figured out how that boy named Yun Xiao managed to dissolve her various methods.
"Hehe, had enough? Now it’s my turn, isn’t it?"
Just as Lu Qinwan was puzzling over this, a light chuckle suddenly sounded in her ear, startling her because, unbeknownst to her, the coarse-clothed youth had appeared just a few feet away from her side.
And at the location where Yun Xiao had previously stood, there was an equally lifelike figure, as if the young man possessed a clone technique, appearing extremely mysterious.
"This kind of clone method..."
When Lu Qinwan caught sight of the shadow clone Yun Xiao left behind, a familiar figure involuntarily surfaced in her mind.
For such shadow clone techniques, her first husband back in the day, the Long Xiao Battle God, was extremely skilled, and it could even be said to be his specialty.
Though Yun Xiao’s appearance and cultivation were vastly different from the Long Xiao Battle God of yore, for some reason, Lu Qinwan saw a trace of the Long Xiao Battle God in Yun Xiao’s shadow clone Meridian Techniques.
However, this thought flashed by, and the next moment Lu Qinwan knew it wasn’t time to muse over such inexplicable things because the youth’s attack had already begun.
Unfortunately, though Lu Qinwan reacted quickly, since Yun Xiao could say such things, he was already confident, and he knew quite a lot about her clone projection.
As Lu Qinwan attempted to dodge, Yun Xiao’s left hand gently slapped her right arm, a burst of cold air erupted, instantly turning the arm into an Ice Arm.
Yun Xiao’s left arm Ice Cold Power was unrivaled, and Lu Qinwan’s clone projection, unlike ordinary Power of Soul, had a solid foundation and wasn’t truly ethereal.
If that weren’t the case, Lu Qinwan wouldn’t have been able to perform those physical attacks earlier. This time, she couldn’t react in time and was struck by Yun Xiao’s Ice Cold Power, resulting in an immediate tragedy.
Perhaps it was also due to Lu Qinwan already being at the end of her strength after using so many techniques. Otherwise, even with Yun Xiao’s sneak attack, it wouldn’t have been easy to injure her.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
A series of freezing sounds was heard, and Lu Qinwan’s face turned extremely ugly. However, the next moment, a vicious glint flashed in her beautiful eyes because she knew this was her and Xue Qi’s last chance.
