Chapter 178: Severe Damage

Although millions of souls have little effect, Lei Dian's lightning strike kills them at an astonishing speed. However, it is also being consumed at a visible rate. The consumption of souls far exceeds the speed at which Lei Dian is being consumed.

The thick bolt of lightning easily pierced through the massive gloom created by the gathering of souls. It struck the chest of the green-armored skeleton, and in fear, it pulled Chun Yu over to block the attack. Chun Yu, who was almost able to withstand the bronze golem before, was reduced to dust in the blink of an eye.

The green armor on the Green-Armor Skeleton had been battered by hundreds of Qi Refinement Grand Perfection cultivators in the Blood Forbidden Land. Decades of magical artifacts bombarded the armor, leaving it now covered with spiderweb-like cracks. The Green-Armor Skeleton let out a howl as lightning struck and obliterated its entire lower half, leaving only the upper body. As for Zhu Yuechun, he was even worse off, reduced to just a head with only a faint sliver of consciousness remaining.

Lu Xia Tian, as the one who struck the Lei Zhu, was also in a terrible predicament at this time. In the instant the Lei Zhu exploded, he felt a wave of destructive energy coming from behind him. Terrified, he immediately invoked a Five Elements Spirit Armor talisman that he had been reluctant to use.

The power of the Thunder Pearl exploding underwater was greater. To stop the Green Armored Skeleton from escaping, he threw it out, not fleeing too far himself. Though not at the center of the explosion, he still felt the effects. His physical defense and self-preservation techniques were far inferior to the Green Armored Skeleton's. Even at the edge, he felt a near unstoppable destructive force.

That damned Lei Wan Tian, why didn't he explain the power of the Thunder Pearl clearly back then Watching the spirit armor emitted by the Five Elements Spirit Armor Talisman shatter in an instant under the impact of the explosion, Lu Xia Tian once again summoned the Star Lantern and at the same time summoned a Copper Golem puppet to block in front of him.

The bronze puppet was blown to smithereens in the explosion. The star lanterns flickered, but after this brief buffer, Lu Xia Tian was also swept away like a leaf in a storm, flying hundreds of meters. Although he had narrowly escaped, his body was still bleeding from the shockwave's impact. His internal organs were severely shaken, leaving him injured, but thankfully, he was not mortally wounded.

Coming to his senses, he saw that the bronze puppet had been reduced to a pile of scrap metal. Lu Xiaoteng was heartbroken. He had originally hoped that after he mastered the puppetry techniques, he could use this bronze puppet as a powerful tool. Unexpectedly, it was destroyed in the explosion. The Five Elements Spirit Armor Talisman was also gone. The Green Armored Skeleton, truly, had caused him much harm!

Lu Xia Tian looked at the ground beneath the sky, his heart still pounding. This strike had actually blown a small lake several miles in diameter into the ground! The river water was cut off by the explosion and then started flowing again from both sides. The shrubs and trees along the river banks, all affected by the lightning wave, were blackened. Those trees closer to the blast were turned directly into charcoal.

This damn skeleton should be completely dead after such a terrifying explosion. Lu XiaTian was filled with rage, yet he felt a slight sense of relief. However, the next scene that unfolded left him utterly dumbfounded.

A flash of blood, only the upper body remained. Most of the green armor had fallen off, and even the bones of the upper body were broken. The terrified skeleton scrambled out.

The green armored skeleton was terrified. He had weathered countless storms since entering the Ghost Dao, but this time, he almost fell to a human Qi Condensation cultivator after barely escaping the Blood-Colored Forbidden Zone. A thunder bead, his newly forged white bone shield, his previous bone spear, and even the Green Demon Armor that fit him well for now - all were thanks to Zhu YuChun's help. He only managed to scrape back a life from under that thunder bead, along with his million souls. Especially those million souls, if he hadn't encountered that dead zone before, it would have taken years, even decades, to gather so many. And it wasn't over yet. Now, his body was severely injured again, and even the Blood-Hidden Banner was shattered by the violent lightning.

"He's not dead!" Lu Xiaotian was surprised, but quickly his expression turned grim. He ignored his injuries and charged back with his sword drawn. The Green-armored Skeleton's signature green armor had been blasted away, leaving most of its upper body exposed. It looked rather ridiculous, covered in fine cracks. Even if it wasn't dead, it must be severely injured. This was the perfect opportunity to eliminate it.

“Kid, the green hills are always there, and the water keeps flowing. One day, you’ll pay me back everything, with interest.”

The green-bone skeleton's black hole eyes, containing purple flames, were much weaker now. At this moment, looking at the young man who had once again severely injured him, the green-bone skull couldn't help but feel a surge of hatred. However, he was heavily wounded at this time, far inferior to his previous state. Besides, the methods of the young man before him were indeed beyond the comprehension of ordinary human cultivators. He could no longer withstand any more violent attacks. He could only wait until his strength recovered before plotting again.

The Green Armored Skeleton brandished its Blood-Veiling Banner. With a wave, the upper half of its body transformed into a streak of light, soaring through the air.

Lu Xiaoteng was astonished. The other party's speed was even faster than when they were pursuing him before. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the sky. It would be difficult to catch up even if he tried his best. Lu Xiaoteng naturally didn't know that due to a large number of souls in the Blood Hidden Banner that hadn't been refined, it had slowed down the Green Armored Skeleton. In order to save his life just now, the other party released all the souls inside the Blood Hidden Banner, barely offsetting most of the power of the Thunder Bead. Although the Blood Hidden Banner was damaged, its speed didn't decrease but instead increased.

This time, if it weren't for the Lei Zhu in my hand, I'm afraid things would have been really difficult. The power of the Lei Zhu is equivalent to a Jindan stage cultivator's full blow, it's the most powerful treasure I possess. Even one Lei Zhu couldn't take down the opponent, even with the Seven Stars Array, I doubt it would be able to do anything about this skeleton.

Pfft, after the green-armored skeleton left, Lu Xiaotian spat out a few mouthfuls of blood again. His complexion changed, he didn't expect that 'Walking Alone to Become Immortal' would be so powerful...

The destructive power of lightning within him continued to ravage. His injuries were worsening; he had to find a safe place to heal. Lu Xia Tian swallowed several pills and quickly left in the opposite direction of the Green Armored Skeleton.

Six months later, at the Xiao family's horse farm in the northern part of Chixia County in Wei State, thousands of powerful horses galloped across the field.

A dozen or so horsemen, skilled in equestrianism, rode freely on their steeds, driving the herd of horses towards pastures with more abundant grass.

On a small hillock near the racetrack, there were cries of "clang"! A pretty girl of thirteen or fourteen years old held a short sword in her hand, dancing it like a frightened swallow. At this age, her momentum was already beyond that of a first-class warrior, reaching the level of a peerless martial artist. Her sword speed was astonishingly fast.

In the Wei state, with a population in the hundreds of millions and a vast territory spanning tens of thousands of miles, there was also an extremely rare genius martial artist.

“Master, how is my sword dance” The girl who was putting away her sword was already drenched in sweat. She wiped the moisture from her forehead and hurriedly ran to a black-clad young man sitting cross-legged not far away. She eagerly asked for his appraisal.

"So-so, keep practicing." The young man opened his eyes and said with a blank expression.

"Oh." The girl, after hearing this, went back listlessly to continue her sword practice, moving one motion after another.

This young girl's name is Ji Lin, and she has an older brother named Ji Kun who is a few years older than her. He also started learning martial arts with his younger sister over half a year ago. Today, many people from the stable went to the county town for the market, so they went out too. The two siblings have an elderly grandfather who is the veterinarian at Xiao's Stable. Life isn't as good as that of wealthy families, but being able to take care of the stables for the Xiao family means they are considered a small but prosperous household with enough food and clothing.

The youth was naturally Lu Xia Tian. Coming to this racetrack was truly a difficult thing to say. Wei Guo was tens of thousands of miles away from Wang Yue City. After his battle with the Green Armored Skeleton, he himself was affected by the Lei Zhu. In fact, he still underestimated the lethality of the Lei Zhu. This was comparable to the full-force strike of a cultivator at the early stage of Jindan. It wasn't just about the explosive power of the Lei Zhu, but also about the destructive power of the lightning. It was equivalent to the attack of a cultivator at the early stage of Jindan, and the lightning technique performed by a Jindan cultivator was extremely powerful and destructive. It continuously inflicted damage on Lu Xia Tian's body.

It was under such circumstances that Lu Xia Tian unfortunately ran into Yue Song again. Upon seeing the seriously injured Lu Xia Tian, Yue Song was overjoyed and immediately acted, intending to take Lu Xia Tian's life while he was vulnerable. As Lu Xia Tian was in no state to fight Yue Song at that time, he resorted to setting up the Seven Star Array.

The Seven Stars Array lived up to its expectations. Yue Song didn't even last a stick of incense within the array before being slain, his primordial spirit unable to escape. Lu Xia Tian obtained Yue Song's storage pouch and the giant centipede puppet. However, the price paid for using the Seven Stars Array was not insignificant. He used his deputy primordial spirit to control it, but the deputy primordial spirit, inherently weaker than the main one, fell into a deep sleep after slaying Yue Song.

At this time, Lu Xiaoteng's body was still being continuously destroyed by the power of lightning. His condition had reached its worst point. Lu Xiaoteng, who was still recovering from his injuries, did his best to eliminate the residual lightning power in his body. He recuperated for several days in a thatched hut at a remote mountain pass, where he encountered Chi Kun and his group returning from purchasing a fine steed from the northern barbarians. It was there that Lu Xiaoteng received a withered section of Beiqing grass from Chi Kun's grandfather while he was treating the horse with medicine.

This spirit herb was extremely effective for treating physical injuries, and according to the body-refining technique 橫練金身 given to him by Huo Yuming, it was the most important medicinal ingredient. He had obtained Huo Yuming's body-refining technique by trading for it with a Foundation Establishment Pill after emerging from the Blood Forbidden Land. After establishing his foundation, he read through it several times. At that time, although there were other spirit objects in the barrier that could be used as substitutes for Bai Qingcao, their effects were significantly inferior, and the cultivation process would likely take much longer with less significant results. Moreover, Lu Xiaottian needed to refine a large number of Yuan Gathering Pills before venturing out for his experience, so he temporarily put this matter aside.

Looking back now, Huo Yueming giving him this set of exercises and some accompanying spirit objects was probably the most important thing. After all, Bei Qingcao had been used up. The more he practiced "Horizontal Refining Golden Body," the higher the requirements for Bei Qingcao's age became.

Chi Lin was a kind-hearted girl. Seeing Lu Xiaotian's pale face, she proactively asked Lu Xiaotian to follow the horse team together. Lu Xiaotian readily agreed and followed their horse team all the way to the horse farm in Chixia County. Originally, Chi Lin's brother and sister's grandfather, Chi Changyong, was somewhat wary of Lu Xiaotian, but after Lu Xiaotian accidentally showed his skills, he never said another word. Chi Lin and her brother were astonished and persistently tried to persuade Lu Xiaotian to become their master.

Following Pool Elder Yong's directions, Lu Xiaotian successfully found a small patch of Bei Qingcao near the racetrack. It hadn't been growing for many years. He then transplanted several plants into the barrier and used spirit stones to accelerate their growth. At this time, his body was still deteriorating under the destructive power of lightning. The intensity of the lightning force was comparable to a strike from a Jindan cultivator. Lu Xiaotian's cultivated mana, compared to it, was like weeds compared to gold, jade, and pearls - an enormous difference.

After obtaining Bei Qingcao, Lu Xiaoteng's injuries temporarily stabilized. Out of the need for recuperation, he stayed at the racecourse. Due to the opportunities brought by Chi Lin and others, Lu Xiaoteng broke the rules and accepted the two as registered disciples. However, the two did not have spiritual roots and could not set foot on the path of cultivation. Lu Xiaoteng therefore refined some low-grade spirit liquid for the siblings to wash their marrow and cut their bones. He taught them some basic swordsmanship. Although the siblings did not cultivate any martial arts mental methods, in fact, Lu Xiaoteng didn't understand these either. However, under Lu Xiaoteng's cultivation, their physique was even stronger and more resilient than that of some peerless warriors. Their recovery ability was also beyond comparison to ordinary worldly warriors. In another month or two, even a peerless warrior might not be a match for the two siblings.

During these past few months, Lu Xia Tian used Bei Qingcao and the spiritual herb he already possessed to refine several kinds of unique "Du Bu Cheng Xian"

The elixirs were for strengthening the body. While the power of lightning hadn't been completely eliminated, these elixirs allowed his flesh to heal faster than the lightning could destroy it. Now, Lu Xia Tian used his own inner Qi to slowly diminish the remaining lightning energy within him. Lu Xia Tian had calculated that it would take nearly a hundred times his current Qi to consume just a fraction of the lightning power still lingering in his body.

Time passed in this monotonous recuperation. Relying solely on his own magical power, due to the weakness of his body, he could only unleash an attack equivalent to that of a mid-stage Qi Refinement cultivator. Even the skills inherent in the Magic Bead, because his body was temporarily unable to withstand the burden generated by the use of a large amount of mana, were unusable at the moment.

However, in the past six months, Lu Xiaotian has not been simply recuperating at the stable. Although the lightning power within his body has made his physical body extremely fragile at this time, while he is constantly using his own mana to eliminate the lightning power within his body, his mana is becoming more and more pure due to this almost day-and-night cruel tempering. At the same time, as he cultivates the body forging technique, his physical body is also gradually becoming stronger. Lu Xiaotian realized that the reason why the lightning power of a Golden Core cultivator's level could cause such great damage to his body was because his physical strength was relatively weak and could not withstand a strong impact.
