From far away, Li Fuchenâs spiritual awareness noticed a thunderbolt-shaped herb.
The herb didnât look big, but it had a shocking appetite. The thunder dragon that struck down from the skies of the Wind Thunder Abyss had been absorbed completely. This thunder dragon was something that even high-level monarchs wouldnât dare to confront.
When the thunder dragon was absorbed, the Wind Thunder Abyssâs laws seemed to be enraged. Several thunder dragons crashed down while baring their fangs.
It seemed as though the Thunder Calamity Herb was blasted into scraps.
The Thunder Calamity Herb was surrounded with destructive qi presence but it contained boundless vitality. Before the thunder dragons could get near, they were forcefully split apart and turned into the Thunder Calamity Herbâs nutrients.
After nine consecutive thunder dragons, the Thunder Calamity Herb was now completely matured. A pleasant fragrance spread out, which put all the monarchs in an insane and violent state.
âGet lost. The Thunder Calamity Herb is mine.â
âWho are you? If you take another step forward, I will kill your entire clan.â
Monarchs of the chaotic Wind Thunder Seat knew that the Thunder Calamity Herb didnât just strengthen the qi blood source, it could also temper the spirit soul.
The spirit soul was a powerful fundamental that was comparable with the bone frame.
Having a stronger spirit soul was the same as enhancing oneâs aptitude.
Boom Boom Boom...
The Wind Thunder Abyss that was filled with violent winds and tyrannical thunderbolts was now even more chaotic. There were qi forces, divine abilities, and cardinal artifacts flying everywhere. Those slightly weaker Primary Sea Realm monarchs couldnât even enter the region. All of them would either be sent flying while vomiting blood, or smashed up. The only ones that werenât affected were those few half-emperors.
Those that could become half-emperors would have cultivated a heaven class martial art or 7-star combat secret technique. Furthermore, they possessed quasi-heaven class weapons and of course, they had to possess the 7-star special bone frames.
Take the Red Rainbow Monarch for example. He cultivated the heaven class low-tier sword art, Red Rainbow Sword Art and a 7-star combat secret technique. Even with his quasi-heaven class artifact sword, the Red Rainbow Sword, he was still only a peak-class monarch. Only After obtaining the heaven class artifact sword, the Heaven Rainbow Sword, did he officially become a half-emperor. Moreover, he was at least a mid-class half-emperor or high-class half-emperor.
If he possessed a 7-star special bone frame, even without the Heaven Rainbow Sword, he would be a half-emperor already.
As for Li Fuchen who was only at the 1st level of Primary Sea Realm, but already had the strength of a half-emperor, it was due to his cultivation technique being a blazing sword dao cultivation technique. It allowed Li Fuchenâs sword energyâs power to be comparable with regular 6th level monarchs. The Red Rainbow Monarch was only an 8th level monarch previously, therefore, their difference wasnât too significant.
Another factor was due to Li Fuchenâs heaven class sword art, the Absolute Heaven Sword Art. It was far superior to the Red Rainbow Sword Art.
In Li Fuchenâs opinion, the Absolute Heaven Sword Art was definitely a pinnacle heaven class low-tier sword art.
That small effect of void dao laws was something that even heaven class mid-tier sword arts couldnât compare with.
Apart from those things, Li Fuchenâs Joint-Heaven Sword was definitely stronger than the Heaven Rainbow Sword.
Of course, there was a reason that couldnât be neglected. The Absolute Heaven Sword Art came from the Joint-Heaven Sword. When both were used in unison, it wasnât a simple addition of power.
As such, Li Fuchen possessed the strength of a half-emperor.
âShangguan Yu, go and snatch the Thunder Calamity Herb. I will stall them.â Li Fuchen said to Shangguan Yu.
The Thunder Calamity Herb might be useful to him, but it was far more useful for Shangguan Yu.
âAlright.â Shangguan Yu didnât mince around and flew straight for the Thunder Calamity Herb.
âCourting death!â A half-emperor blasted his fist at Shangguan Yu.
âBlack Jade Shade.â
Shangguan Yu didnât fight back and immediately burst out with her black jade divine ability. She used the qi power contained within the divine ability patterns to withstand the attack.
Clang!
The barrier made with the black jade qi power shook a little. It caused Shangguan Yuâs advancement to veer off greatly.
âYour opponent is me.â Li Fuchen executed his Heaven and Earth Extermination at the half-emperor
âGet lost.â
Another half-emperor joined the fray and wanted to send Li Fuchen flying.
However, Li Fuchen was most fond of group battles. His Heaven and Earth Extermination had an immense attack range and each point of attack was the strongest point. There was basically no weakness and two half-emperors could only put on more pressure on him. It was still impossible to suppress Li Fuchen within a short period of time.
Three half-emperors, four half-emperors...
A total of four half-emperors were working together to attack Li Fuchen. Had it been some other regular half-emperors, that half-emperor would have been sent flying while vomiting blood. They might even be at near death with severe injuries.
However, Li Fuchen was still holding on.
With Primary Sea Realm body refinement, he was much tougher than regular half-emperors.
The Thunder Calamity Herbâs qi presence vanished as Shangguan Yu had harvested it.
âDamn kid, die!â A high-class half-emperor, an old man with phoenix eyes yelled out.
He was strongest among the four half-emperors and his spear thrust at Li Fuchen while it emitted a feeling that it could penetrate everything.
This thrust had a speed and power that had reached the limits. It was much stronger when compared with Li Fuchenâs Meteor Fall. In an instant, Li Fuchen felt that the time surrounding him had slowed down and only that spear was maintaining its speed.
âFive Forms Emperor Fist, Champosaurus Kill!â
At the crucial moment, Shangguan Yu burst out with the heaven class body refinement fist art, the Five Forms Emperor Fist.
When the fist was executed, the void was suppressed and the flow of time reverted to normal. The fist then clashed with the spear.
Boom, Rumble!
Violent forces exploded. Shangguan Yu and Li Fuchen were sent flying, which they made use of the momentum to escape.
âChase!â
The four half-emperors werenât willing to accept this outcome and went on a pursuit.
In fact, with Shangguan Yu and Li Fuchenâs strength, they were able to contest with the four half-emperors.
Both of them were body refinement monarchs and had tough defenses. In situations where both sides were injured, body refinement monarchs would only become better during combat. They wouldnât lose their combat strength within a short period of time while the half-emperors would go into a vicious cycle and become weaker as the battle continued.
However, this was the Wind Thunder Abyss and there were plenty of experts. These four half-emperors werenât terrifying, but if more arrived, the duo would be in danger.
As the pursuit continued, the two parties arrived at the inner abyss of the Wind Thunder Abyss.
The Wind Thunder Abyss was split into the inner abyss and outer abyss. Outer abyss was generally where Battle Spirit Realm masters and Primary Sea Realm monarchs explored. The inner abyss was where half-emperors and Law Phase Realm emperors explored. This placeâs danger was ten times more than the outer abyss.
Boom, Crackle!
A thunder dragon blasted down and struck at a half-emperor at the back.
That half-emperor screamed miserably and his entire body was charred, resulting in serious injuries.
After consuming an elixir, the injured half-emperor increased his speed to catch up with the group.
Woosh Woosh...
There was a mournful air piercing sound as a deep green wind blade sliced across another half-emperorâs shoulder.
Crackle.
The qi protection was ripped through and the half-emperorâs shoulder was drenched in blood. Even his bones were fractured.
âDamn it, what is this wind blade. How can it be so powerful?â
The fracture of bones wasnât considered a serious injury for a half-emperor. The half-emperor merely took out a bottle and opened it before pouring a golden lotion on the wounds.
The golden lotion was extremely mystical. When it touched the bones, it quickly mended the bones and when it touched the flesh, it quickly closed up the wound.
In just a short moment, the wound was already gone on appearance.
Of course, there were still some effects. A half-emperorâs bones might be extremely tough, but for it to fully recover, it still required quite a bit of time.
Li Fuchen and Shangguan Yu had also encountered plenty of wind blades and thunder dragons.
Li Fuchen used his astounding spiritual awareness to dodge them in advance, while Shangguan Yu had been using her Black Jade Shade to withstand them.
âEscaping like this isnât a solution.â Li Fuchen frowned.
The Wind Thunder Abyssâs inner abyss was extremely dangerous and Li Fuchen didnât want himself to fall into a predicament.
âI wonder if I can use the Five Thunders incantation to initiate the thunderbolts of the Wind Thunder Abyss?â
Li Fuchenâs hands started forming the Five Thunders incantationâs seal.
Dark clouds gathered in the skies of the Wind Thunder Abyss and there was a patch of darkness.
Rumble, Bang!
An astonishing thunderfall blasted behind the duo.
âIt is effective!â Li Fuchenâs eyes lit up.
Li Fuchen felt that his Five Thunders incantation was like a lightning rod that would gather the thunderbolts of the Wind Thunder Abyss.
The thunderfall buried the four half-emperors that were chasing behind.
By the time these four half-emperors emerged from the thunderfall, their bodies were charred and they suffered serious injuries.
âIt seems like my Five Thunders incantation isnât proficient enough. If the Incantation Martial Emperor is here, his Five Thunders incantation will probably kill those low-level emperors.â
The power of incantations wasnât fixed.
Some incantations would generate more power with a longer preparation time.
Some incantations would need to make use of the natural environment.
The Wind Thunder Abyssâ thunderbolts were already fearsome, therefore, it was naturally formidable when using the Five Thunders incantation. If they were in the outside world, Li Fuchenâs Five Thunders incantation would probably be like a light drizzle to half-emperors and wouldnât be worth mentioning.
Since the Five Thunders incantation was useful, Li Fuchen naturally wasnât going to let the four half-emperors have an easy time. Waves of thunderfall had been brought down.
âDamn it.â
The four half-emperors might have plenty of precious recovery elixirs, but they couldnât continue rushing through multiple thunder falls. Without a choice, the four of them had to stop the pursuit while having extremely sullen expressions.
âYou are actually able to use the Five Thunders incantation to this extent. No wonder Uncle Fan has such high regards for you.â Shangguan Yu praised.
She had also studied the incantations for a period of time, but was only able to learn the fundamental incantations. She wasnât like Li Fuchen who was able to learn the low-class, Five Thunders incantation within such a short period of time. Furthermore, his proficiency was rather high and was actually able to initiate the thunderbolts of the Wind Thunder Abyss.
The Wind Thunder Abyssâ thunderbolts were extremely violent and to initiate it was already a difficult task.
Li Fuchen said, âAs compared to the Senior Incantation Martial Emperor, I am still lacking too much.â
Shangguan Yu rolled her eyes and said, âif you are already comparable with Uncle Fan now, then what are we still doing here? Being overly modest is considered arrogance.â
Li Fuchen chuckled.
After throwing off the four half-emperors, the duo found a place to rest.
âWhy donât I protect you while you consume the Thunder Calamity Herb?â Li Fuchen suggested.
The stronger Shangguan Yu was, the safer they were in the Wind Thunder Abyss. This was going to be very beneficial for their search for the Rootless Flower and other precious resources.
Shangguan Yu found it was a waste. âIf this herb can be concocted into the Thunder Calamity Elixir, the effects will be several times better. What a pity.â
While speaking, she sat down cross-legged and took a bite at half the Thunder Calamity Herb.
Crackle, Boom!
There were electric arcs and traces of black qi emitted from Shangguan Yuâs body.
The impurities within the body were quickly vanished under the effects of the Thunder Calamity Herb.
Soon enough, Shangguan Yu consumed the rest of the Thunder Calamity Herb and her body was soaked in thunderbolts. She looked just like a Thunder War Goddess.
âHer qi blood is strengthening?â Li Fuchen sized up Shangguan Yu.
The qi blood was the root, while the qi power was the fruit.
The qi blood could be transmuted into qi power, but if the qi power was transmuted into qi blood, there would be a huge decline. It could only be used for recuperation. In order to replenish the deficit of qi blood, it was impossible within a short period of time.
If a personâs qi blood was emptied and was only left with qi power, then the qi power must be transmuted into qi blood. It wouldnât result in death, but to reach full recovery, it would need a very long process.
The Thunder Calamity Herb could strengthen the source of qi blood. In other words, it was increasing the upper limits of Shangguan Yuâs qi blood and qi power.
As compared to other body refinement monarchs, Shangguan Yuâs upper limits were far superior. This was also why the Thunder Calamity Herb was sought after.
