Chapter 698: Chapter 127: King of Thunder, All Heavens, and Myriads of Worlds
Thunder Flame Breaking Path Mountain.
Endless thunder formed a roaring Soul Sea, boiling in this part of heaven and earth.
Above the Soul Sea, infinite worlds were constantly being born and annihilated, engaging in cycles of derivation and reincarnation.
Countless lives, from their birth to their annihilation, would experience what seemed like a century-long journey, but on the surface of the Soul Sea, it was merely a fleeting moment.
Throughout the vast expanses of the star universe, boundless and eternal, the Soul Sea was like the star universe, forever enduring without the concept of day or night.
Without day or night, there was no sense of time, and thus birth and death were merely different forms, different expressions.
After stepping into Thunder Flame Breaking Path Mountain, Lee Sha immediately entered a spectacular and turbulent secret realm of the Thunderflame Soul Sea.
This Thunder Flame Breaking Path Mountain was an extremely ancient secret realm with its own will!
Within Lee Sha’s brow, Zhou Yan instantly perceived the mysterious nature of this place, yet Lee Sha was unable to see through it.
Simply because he couldn’t.
Zhou Yan could see through it because he possessed the Nine Orifice Exquisite Heart and was viewing this world from the perspective of an observer, thus avoiding the confusion that often vexes those involved.
However, precisely because he saw it clearly, Zhou Yan felt even more puzzled about Thunder Flame Breaking Path Mountain.
For the mountain he had experienced was certainly not this Thunder Flame Breaking Path Mountain.
And the planet where Lee Sha resided, although extremely similar to Sword Burial Ancestor Star, wasn’t quite the Sword Burial Ancestor Star.
Zhou Yan pondered deeply and couldn’t help but recall what Yanyan had initially told him—
"...Within Thunder Flame Breaking Path Mountain, the bloodline within Father King awakened, leading to an agreement with the Thunderflame Venerable. He altered Father King’s constitution, developing the acquired Thunderflame Sword Body.
But when accomplishing a certain task, the acquired Thunderflame Sword Body was insufficient to meet the requirements, ultimately leading to the failure of that task. The consequence of failure was death and obliteration of the Dao; therefore, Father King, you utilized a ray of Primordial Magnetic Pole Light to separate a stream of Essence Blood, carrying the Thunder Flame Core Physique inheritance, entering the primordial land of the soul..."
Recalling this statement, Zhou Yan abruptly realized that this place was far more complex than just a simple secret realm!
Just as Zhou Yan came upon this thought, he suddenly saw above the endless Soul Sea a towering man clad in Thunder Power, his form immeasurably vast.
This man was wrapped in endless arcs of lightning, as if his whole body were cast from purple and green electricity, inspiring fear in the onlooker.
Yet he completely concealed his aura.
His gaze fell upon Lee Sha; within the depths of his pupils, he propagated exceedingly deep and mysterious runes. The light of these runes seemed as if they could penetrate Lee Sha’s brow chakra and see the existence of Zhou Yan’s outsider Void Spirit.
But he could not touch Zhou Yan, reminiscent of a watcher in an Ancient Array being noticed by the monitored, as the watcher turned his gaze to the area of surveillance.
Zhou Yan conjectured that this might have been caused by Lei Yan King recalling this memory segment and creating a True Void Heavenly Prohibition. This scenario manifested in the simulation of the True Void Heavenly Prohibition as if the man of lightning looked through Lee Sha’s brow to perceive Zhou Yan’s presence.
The sensation was bizarre, but the man of lightning paid it no heed, simply nodding slightly towards Zhou Yan. Zhou Yan, taken aback, was about to respond, but the man of lightning had already withdrawn his gaze.
Zhou Yan attempted to send out his Void Spirit, but as soon as the Void Spirit appeared, the True Void Heavenly Prohibition immediately ceased, everything vanished in an instant, and the Memory Inheritance of Lei Yan King was abruptly disrupted.
Zhou Yan helplessly discovered that he was still within a cold and damp unknown space crevice of the Time-Space Reincarnation Tower.
In this place, he couldn’t leave unless he obtained the complete Memory Inheritance of Lei Yan King—although this was Zhou Yan’s conjecture, he believed that would certainly be the case.
Sighing softly, Zhou Yan knew that he could not affect Lee Sha, the Thunder Flame Breaking Path Mountain, or even that Soul Sea realm. Thus, he calmed his heart and once again silently returned to the True Void Heavenly Prohibition.
Zhou Yan’s Void Spirit transformed into a ray of light, directly entering the brow of Lee Sha, and the world within the True Void Heavenly Prohibition once again began to operate, as if it had resumed after previously being paused.
"You’ve arrived? I’ve been waiting for you for a long time."
The man in the Thunderflame Battle Armor said with an indifferent voice.
Lee Sha’s essence blood was boiling inside him, but he still nodded and said, "Yes, I’ve come."
"You must have recovered the memories of your previous life, right? Now, you are Lee Ran’s brother, Lee Yi?"
asked the man in the Thunderflame Battle Armor calmly.
"After regenerating my essence blood, I remembered that my brother had sacrificed too much for me. I came here, not only for the trivial woman, Lee Lianqing...
In my past life, only the Jiang family knew, yet you also know. Do you want me to reconvene the perfect soul for you to harvest?" Lee Sha said with a heavy tone.
Even faced with the Thunderflame man, who was countless times more powerful than him, there was not a trace of fear in him.
When exactly Lee Sha’s spiritual wisdom awakened, Zhou Yan had no idea, but after being stimulated by Lee Lianqing and regenerating his essence blood, Lee Sha gradually became lucid.
Now, seeing such behavior from him, Zhou Yan, although somewhat surprised, could still understand and accept it within reason.
Moreover, the series of scenes presented in the True Void Heavenly Prohibition had a span of time; it just neglected this time span, composing instead of more significant fragments of events, forming a relatively shorter but comprehensive recollection of memories.
"I am different from them. If you don’t believe me, I can even swear an oath of the heart demon on my Venerable status," the Thunderflame man said solemnly.
"I believe you. With your immense strength, why wouldn’t I? After all, I have no room to resist before you. You can do whatever you want to me. Moreover, I understand, entering here is equivalent to seeking death. I am alive and seeing you; what more is there to say? Whatever requests you have, just make them," said Lee Sha, with an indifferent attitude as if the sky falling would not concern him.
"Alright, now, the most perfect seeds of two great universe prisons are about to be harvested. After the harvest, they will become resources for a thousand seed cycles. Both the Blood Barbarian God Sovereign and the Undying Divine Sovereign will refine them into a Domain Soul Pill. The moment they succeed, I will snatch them and infuse the two Domain Soul Pills into your body, allowing you to achieve the status of the Venerable Realm in an instant—as long as you can activate your own perfect supreme soul, you will have the strength to persist.
However, there are several points you must be wary of.
First, before this, you must possess the Thunder Flame Sword Body at the pinnacle of the acquired realm, capable of refining Thunderflame Energy into Thunder Flame Soul Liquid and Thunderflame Soul Crystals.
Second, once you accept my conditions, you might suffer a fate worse than death when you receive the Domain Soul Pill. Even if you succeed, you will only have ten years of life left! After ten years, unless you break through the secrets of immortality, you will surely die! But you can leave a perfect bloodline that will breed an incredibly powerful next generation! And if you succeed, I only need part of the soul’s secret technique for contemplation.
With my abilities, even taking your soul won’t allow me to walk my own path, so I will borrow your perfect supreme soul to ponder the ultimate secret of the Venerable, creating a connection between us."
"The third matter, there’s one thing I hope you could promise—after your rise to power, you may seek revenge for your brother but do not think of retaliating against Jiang Lei Yuan on behalf of your brother, because Jiang Lei Yuan is a chess piece I’ve placed in the Jiang family. He is my descendant, and from the beginning to the end, he has not targeted you. His pursuit of Lee Ran was just a ruse, never exerting his full strength. Otherwise, Lee Ran wouldn’t have had the chance to escape after being seriously injured."
"The fourth point, whether you succeed or fail, Jiang Lei Yuan has already made an agreement with Lee Ran to take care of you to the best of his ability. And for you, your brother has also sacrificed some friends, using the ancient Pangu Bloodline as a seed to cultivate a batch of life forms, and bred them in my Soul Sea World. Now, my Soul Sea World’s Thunder Origin Continent has already yielded harvests twice, creating the soul energy of the Soul Sea. So, if there is anything that you feel wronged by, do not blame him."
"The fifth matter, after this event, to avoid leaking secrets, I will suppress the memories of everyone who knows about it, but not yours. At that time, I will hand over the Thunder Flame Breaking Path Mountain to my descendant, Jiang Lei Yuan, and suppress him within this Secret Realm, changing the laws, while condensing his body, some of Lee Ran’s flesh, and the bloodline energy of the Emperor Qi Sword Body into a planet.
Then, the breeding ground’s world will appear normal, with just one additional Sword Ancestor Star and a ’Thunder Flame Breaking Path Mountain.’ And when the Nine Origin Reincarnation arrives, that calamity will be fully revealed to the world."
"A planet, must possess an Emperor’s Will. Where does this will come from? Are you capable of slaying a Supreme and seizing the will of a Supreme?" Lee Sha asked with a deep voice.
"The will comes from a powerful, unknown Supreme Treasure—the Xuanyuan Sword. The sword which your brother, Lee Ran, brought from that mysterious and dreadful Ancestor Land possesses the immortal will and the Emperor’s Bloodline Power! I have already promised him to extract a drop of Emperor Blood from within the Xuanyuan Sword, entrusted to him to prepare for desperate times. The rest will be managed jointly by us. My doing so aims to oppose the Jiang family and also for my own empowerment."
"These are my thoughts and demands, as well as the various benefits you can obtain. If you are willing, you can take a step further, and I will establish the Nine Origin Reincarnation, and even corresponding plans for the Heavenly Destiny Seed within the Thunder Origin Continent. If you refuse, then I will directly grant you the innate Thunder Flame Sword Body, but you will continue to live within the prisons of others. One day, when the shadow of a perfect supreme soul is born, you will once again become a ’fattened pig.’"
The man in the Thunderflame Battle Armor explained calmly.
"Since my brother has prepared all this for me, he has been so embattled by the Jiang family’s pursuit, yet still considers me in every aspect—what is there to hesitate? Ten years of life? If I succeed, even just one year of life would be enough. However, leaving behind offspring? Who would be willing to bear a child for me, Lee Sha?"
Lee Sha laughed at himself sarcastically.
"Wrong. When you achieve your supreme soul and become a Supreme in an instant, you won’t be Lee Sha; you will be the Ten Thousand Realms Supreme King. A single Domain Soul Pill requires the depletion of a thousand seed harvest opportunities. Consuming two Pills in a row, as long as you are not a pig, you will reach the high-level realm of the Sword Venerate.
Then, in the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, you will be the King of Thunder. Women from the top planes such as true gods, the Netherworld, Hell, Heaven and Earth, Tianhe, Flying Demons, and other extraordinary women, even the Netherworld Goddess Mu Qingyan, considered the first among women across the Ten Thousand Realms, will bow down before you!"
"With your bloodline, and with her innate supreme bloodline combining the special talents of Ten Thousand Clans, once a child is born, it will be an Innate Supreme, invincible in all directions!"
The man shrouded in thunder light seemed to look forward to this moment fervently, his eyes alight with fervor.
