C269 None of Your Business
Holding the arm bone in his hand, Meng Xuan's arm bone instantly recovered, spurting out runes that were as vast as the ocean. An ancient aura came from above. Following that, a mighty voice resounded in Meng Xuan's mind, "The True Understanding of Thunder. Cultivate the power of thunder to the ultimate form, using thunder to evolve all living things, to evolve the great world of the universe."
This was the Thunderbolt King's inheritance record, the True Thunderbolt Scripture.
The most heaven-defying aspect of this sort of supernatural power was that it was able to use thunder to transform all living things. Its offensive and killing power was unparalleled. A bolt of lightning could transform into a primordial beast. When cultivated to the limit, one could even break through the river of time.
"Thunder King really is a genius. He actually evolved the true power of thunder to such a level." Meng Xuan took a look, and shock could be seen in his eyes.
The thunder was full of destruction. When it reached its ultimate form, it could destroy almost anything. It could be said to be the most destructive thing in the world. However, the Thunder King went in the opposite direction, believing that the extremes of things were bound to be reversed. When thunder evolved to its ultimate form, it could give birth to life, and it could evolve into all living things.
This was exactly the same as what Meng Xuan had once thought. When Meng Xuan was in the first great universe, he created a cultivation system that took him as the world. When he cultivated to the end, he was able to evolve everything.
From the bones of the Thunder King's arm, one could deduce that when he was at his peak, he would not be far from Immortal King Qi. However, he was still very far from Meng Xuan. With his cultivation level, developing such an idea was an extremely shocking feat.
"No wonder the legend said that this person could contend against the Forsaken Immortal King. It is indeed true." Meng Xuan muttered to himself as he sat cross-legged on the ground. He began to practice the true understanding of thunder.
His Dao Sea shone, and lightning filled it. It was densely packed, and rumbling sounds could be heard from within his body. Every inch of his body shone, and every single strand of hair turned into lightning. As his eyes opened and closed, earthshaking arcs of lightning circulated within them. In fact, every single blood strand within his eyes was like a bolt of lightning.
Blue dots of light appeared all over his body. Wisps of refined energy dripped from the top of his head. They were all formed from thunder and lightning and were blue in color. In the end, the essence energy turned into a waterfall. It was as if the Milky Way had descended to the nine heavens. A waterfall cascaded from above his head as he fell to the ground. Every waterfall was like a bolt of lightning, abnormally frightening.
Time slowly passed. He had been cultivating here for more than ten days. Outside of the Lightning Deity's Lake, there were countless silhouettes.
There were also various generals, nine retainers, and three thousand Cultivators from outside the city who had surrounded the place. He wanted to make sure that when the crown prince appeared from the temple, he would kill him immediately.
On the twentieth day, Meng Xuan opened his eyes. The Eternal Gods on the divine bridge of heaven and earth had all taken a big step forward. They were already standing in the center of the divine bridge, only half a step away from the other shore. Furthermore, the Eternal Gods had already sped up their pace, and were advancing at a fast pace.
As long as he could reach the other side of the bridge and completely cross it, he would enter the first realm of the second level. He restrained the aura around his body and gave off the feeling that he had returned to his original nature. At this moment, the Divine Toad on his shoulder opened its eyes and looked at Meng Xuan. Fear flashed deep within its eyes.
It had sensed Meng Xuan's aura before. Meng Xuan's aura was just like that of the Thunder King back then, unfathomable. With a single thought, he could destroy heaven and earth.
His spiritual will explored the outside world and saw what was happening outside. His eyes flashed with ridicule as he continued, "You want to kill me? Even if the Ancient Emperor were to abandon Chang Kong, he still wouldn't be able to do it, right?"
The Lightning Deity's Lake had not retreated yet. He was simply unrivalled here. If he moved the entire sea of lightning, none of the people here who participated in the attack would be safe and sound.
With a squeak, the gates to the godly temple opened. Meng Xuan stepped out and looked at the crowd.
Everyone outside the Lightning God's Lake had long been impatient. When they saw Meng Xuan come out, they all stood up and looked coldly at him. "Crown Prince, you won't be able to escape today!"
"Surround and kill the Crown Prince!"
"The crown prince is despicable and immoral, he shall be executed!"
Everyone began to shout out slogans. Killing intent surged, almost covering the entire area. Seventy-two generals, nine great ministers, three thousand outsiders, and pairs of original soldiers surrounded the area so that not even a drop of water could trickle through.
The crowds in the outside world watched nervously, and smiles broke out on their faces. No matter how strong the Crown Prince was, he would never be able to live under the encirclement of tens of thousands of people!
"Hello everyone." Meng Xuan's face was filled with smiles as he smiled and waved to the crowd. It was as though he didn't realize that danger was approaching.
The Fifth Prince was the first to stand up and wave his hand: "Get ready!"
Rustle, rustle, rustle. The soldiers and the children of the generals all took out their Dao-treasures, staring coldly at Meng Xuan. As soon as he stepped out of the Lightning Deity's Lake and appeared in the external world, roars began to sound out one after another.
The eight great Origin Qi Scholars took action at the same time. The Diagram of the Demons, the Sun, Moon, and Star Flag, the eight mysterious chains, the golden halberd, and the blood-red spear all flew out, covering Meng Xuan.
The entire space had been destroyed, and the skies had caved in as the skies began to crack and shatter. Anxiety appeared on Huangfu Shou's face. He wanted to save them, but the space was already densely packed and it was impossible to enter!
"Kill the crown prince!" "Second Prince!" The Third Prince shouted in unison. The two of them had even taken out their divine bridge treasure and placed it across the void! Fang Tianyu began to boil with excitement. There were divine abilities, divine light, and Dao treasures everywhere!
However, Meng Xuan remained as calm as ever, with a smile on his face.
For some reason, when the spectators saw the smile on Meng Xuan's face, they had a bad premonition in their hearts. The Crown Prince was too calm. Even in the face of so many people surrounding him, his expression didn't change. He definitely had some cards up his sleeves.
Sure enough, the Crown Prince made his move.
The smile on Meng Xuan's face slowly disappeared. "You want to kill me? Cultivate for another million years then."
And then, under the astonished gazes of everyone, he suddenly erupted. His entire body emitted light, and all of his orifices opened up, spraying out blue divine multicolored light. If one looked carefully, they would see that it wasn't some divine multicolored light, but rather countless bolts of lightning!
"Explode, Lightning Deity's Lake." Meng Xuan was at the ninth heaven, and the Lightning Deity's Lake was beneath his feet. A hundred thousand feet long rainbow rushed out from his body, giving off an aura that seemed as if it could devour mountains and rivers. The Lightning Deity's Lake immediately exploded, as if a tsunami had occurred.
The spiritual liquid within the Lightning Deity's Lake created a huge wave over a hundred thousand zhang in length. It swept into the sky and exploded, turning into tens of thousands of lightning bolts! He was like the reincarnation of the Thunder King. Bolts of lightning surrounded him as he opened his mouth and spat out a long river of lightning. The shadows of countless living beings could be seen floating within it!
He stood tall within the sea of lightning, as if he could control the life and death of everyone here. The Lightning Deity's Lake shook wildly, and streaks of lightning streaked across the sky, submerging everyone within!
Ah!
Ah!
The crowd screamed as they were struck by lightning.
"Retreat, quickly retreat!"
"Retreat, the Crown Prince is too treacherous, he actually dares to play dirty."
"He actually detonated the Lightning God's Lake!"
Thunder and lightning covered them like a tidal wave as miserable screams rang out one after another. The original inhabitants were all in the vanguard. At this moment, they were all submerged within the great wave of lightning. They were all burnt to ashes and disappeared into thin air. Then there were those generals' sons who were mostly caught up in the thunderstorm as they screamed miserably.
Puff, puff, puff!
Immediately, the bodies of hundreds of people exploded as their souls were struck out of the Lost Divine Kingdom. In each of the three regions, the cultivators who had just regained consciousness opened their eyes, and blood oozed out of the corners of their mouths.
"Crown Prince!"
"Crown Prince, I will definitely kill you!"
"Damn it!"
Of the thousands of cultivators that entered, only a little more than a thousand remained outside of the Lost Divine Kingdom. A small portion of them had been shocked out of the Divine Kingdom, missing out on the good fortune they just had!
The eight great origin realm cultivators were also struck by the lightning. Flames ignited on their bodies as they roared in rage and retreated. How terrifying was the energy contained within the Lightning Deity's Lake? To put it bluntly, if the Thunder King detonated it, it would definitely be able to destroy the entire Lost Divine Kingdom.
Crack.
A long streak of lightning streaked across the sky, striking a mountain five kilometers away. Instantly, that mountain peak was sliced off. The lightning river that Meng Xuan spat out crossed the sky and struck the Diagram. Instantly, the Diagram was penetrated!
All the princes frantically retreated, but it was too late. They were caught up in the aftermath of the Lightning Deity's Lake. Blood fog exploded from their bodies, and eerie bones appeared. Their souls trembled, and they were almost completely shaken out of the Divine Kingdom.
When everything calmed down, the casualties could be said to be disastrous. The eight great origin officials had all fled. The seven great princes were standing tens of kilometers away, facing Meng Xuan. As for the war general's son, there were only 1500 people left, and most of them were driven out of the Divine Kingdom.
The Lightning Deity's Lake disappeared. Meng Xuan stood high in the sky, gazing at this place. The body of the fallen figure was charred, and the smell of meat wafted through the air. He was like the Human Emperor, overlooking the entire area.
The five mysterious people had also received damage and were coldly looking at him.
No one had expected the Crown Prince to be so ruthless. Detonating the Lightning Deity's Lake, preparing to destroy them in one go!
"Crown Prince, how dare you!" The Insect True King protected the Fifth Prince as he coughed out fresh blood. They had never been able to step into the Lightning Deity's Lake before. Now that the Lightning Deity's Lake had exploded, it left them with even more fatal injuries. If they hadn't retreated in time, they would have been scattered long ago.
"Crown Prince, the Lightning God's Lake is a good fortune that has been opened for generations. It was actually detonated by you, cutting off the path of future generations. You are a sinner!" Blood trickled down the corner of the Third Prince's mouth.
Meng Xuansi did not seem to care and replied, "It has nothing to do with me. When I do things, why should I consider outsiders?"1
Everyone was surprised and their faces darkened. "You are too selfish."
Meng Xuan smiled as he waved his hand, "I'm willing. If you can't accept it, come up."
All the generals said with a dark face, "Crown Prince, are you not afraid of the Ancient Emperor punishing you? Your actions have severely injured the Divine Kingdom's forces. If the alien Heavenly Demons were to invade, how would my Divine Kingdom defend itself? "
Meng Xuan sneered in his heart once more. Your Ancient Emperor has already fallen into madness.
Even if the Divine Kingdom were to be destroyed, perhaps they wouldn't come out.
He laughed without a care, "I'm willing, what does it have to do with you!"
The old monsters in the outside world were also bursting with killing intent. The Crown Prince's actions had violated a great taboo. The Lightning Deity's Lake was a good fortune shared by the future generations of the three regions.
However, the Crown Prince was so reckless that he didn't know what was good for him. He detonated everything, causing a massive amount of death. More and more cultivators were driven out of the Divine Lost Kingdom. This was simply cutting off others' escape routes!
