Chapter 651: Chapter 615 Divine Artifact Five Thunders Bombardment_1

A mass of icy Divine Power, in the form of a storm, enveloped the Thunder Pond and exploded from the mouth of the Lei Meng Beast God.

Pang Jian concealed within the icy Divine Power of the Thunder Pond, guided by his Divine Consciousness, condensed into sharp ice edges, ice crystals, ice arrows, and even small glaciers suddenly appeared.

Inside the closed maw of the Lei Meng Beast God, a world of extreme cold and cruelty spontaneously formed out of the storm.

And it grew rapidly in a thunderous swell.

The white fog of chilling tides which had dissipated first had already frozen the beast god’s taste buds, the walls of its mouth, and the fibers of its flesh.

When the icy storm burst forth from within, suddenly erupting from the inside, He had no escape.

Countless sharp crystallizations of cold power stabbed inside His mouth, causing the Lei Meng Beast God to let out a muffled groan.

His mouth was immediately a blur of flesh and blood.

"Cough!"

His teeth, shaped like rows of blades, constantly opened and closed with the motion of His mouth.

The Thunder Pond and the icy storm that rose around it switched between dark and bright worlds.

When He opened His mouth, it was a world of light.

When He closed it, the world became boundlessly dark.

In between, there was not a single strand of lightning to be born, no more of His controlling Thunder Divine Power to create light.

His tongue, supporting the Thunder Pond and the icy storm, suddenly curled inward within His mouth, erasing all the converging cold powers.

A vast whirl of Qi and Blood, mixed with blood essences invisible to the naked eye, demolished Pang Jian’s imprints of Divine Consciousness in the Thunder Pond one by one.

He was a genuine Demon God, and Demon Gods of His level were inherently stronger than Alien God Spirits.

The Demon Gods of the Ancient Demon Clan were known throughout the Star River for their thick skin and astonishing regenerative power.

Even without using Thunder Divine Power, relying solely on His exceptional Demon Body and His ocean-like muscular strength, He could crush most low-rank gods.

At this moment, He did not gather the Thunder Divine Power hidden within His flesh and bones; He used merely the strength of His flesh to wear down Pang Jian’s mark in the Thunder Pond.

"You said that I, although also a Thunder God, have no Great Tao realized by myself."

"You said I lack my own Tao insights and lack the profound understanding that a Thunder God should possess."

"I admit it all."

Surrounded by darkness, His Qi and Blood essence created miniature versions of the Lei Meng Beast God.

A drop of blood, a wisp of breath, transformed into the image of a god, embedding a Spiritual Soul within, becoming one of the incarnations of the Demon God.

Nine incarnations of the Lei Meng Beast God crouched at nine positions around the Thunder Pond, their mouths ejecting crimson light into it, continuing to wear down Pang Jian’s imprint.

Pang Jian’s True Body, while pondering the mysteries of the Thunder Pond in the Dark Prison, naturally left a brand unique to himself.

It was through these marks that he planted his Extreme Cold Divine Power; should any God Spirit attempt to seize this Thunder Pond, the icy powers left within the imprints would erupt suddenly.

Lei Meng Beast God, familiar with the Thunder Pond, displayed the act of engulfing it without overreacting, feeling that the Thunder Pond was still in his control.

After all, he had controlled the Thunder Pond for many years and had always left his mark while contemplating the profound essence of the Thunder Tao within.

This was his advantage.

However, the icy storm created by his imprinted Divine Power in the Thunder Pond did not injure the Lei Meng Beast God enough to show a sign of defeat.

"I am a Lei Meng beast, and in my bloodline, there is naturally a mystery related to thunderbolts. But I, in fact, have never been interested in the power of thunderbolts."

"You will never understand how helpless and sad it feels for a clan like mine, with no choice."

"I am nimble and like to hop and jump around; I want to be free like the wind."

"I also love mountains and rivers, like streams and forests, but the violent and chaotic thunder power within me will only destroy everything I cherish."

"The Human Race has no inherent bloodline attributes at birth and is not confined to a predetermined future, which is a tremendous fortune!"

"I clearly hate this overbearing and brute force, the thunderbolt power that destroys everything beautiful, yet from the moment I was born, I couldn’t change it!"

"How could I, someone like this, devote all my heart and effort to exploring the mysteries of thunderbolts?"

Those miniature Lei Meng beasts and the ancient demons such as thunder dragons, giant pythons, sky snakes, unicorns, and phoenixes attacking Pang Jian’s Primordial Spirit outside, all expressed the same sentiment.

"I don’t want to study the mysteries of thunderbolts at all, I just want what’s ready-made, I just want to refine into my body the Great Tao that belongs to the Thunder God!"

"And this is enough!"

"I need to free up my energy and time to ponder the subtleties of blood. Apart from the Bloodline Crystal Chains related to thunderbolts naturally branded in my Demon Heart, the only thing I can deeply explore is the blood capabilities of the Demon Race."

"Someday, I will reverse the thunderbolt bloodline within me and give the Lei Meng beasts the chance to choose differently!"

Thunder dragons, giant pythons, sky snakes, unicorns, and phoenixes, shattered by Pang Jian’s sword, were reformed by the Thunderous Lightning, once again launching their attack.

A unicorn transformed into a sky of electric light, after reforming, did not continue to attack.

From the Lei Meng Beast God’s perspective, with the air of the Lei Meng Beast God, He watched Pang Jian who repeatedly swung his sword and said, "I envy you, you have various Divine Powers within you, representing different pursuits of the Great Tao. You have many choices; you can indulge deeply in the path of your liking."

"You can also give up something you dislike, even outright ignore it."

"But I have never had such a choice. Whether I like it or not, I can only become a Thunder God through the thunderbolt bloodline."

"Boom!"

A colossal bolt of thunderbolt lightning suddenly fell from the high skies above the Mysterious Fog.

Deep within this bolt of thunderbolt lightning was a white, luminescent pillar, the Lei Meng Beast God’s Divine Artifact "Five Thunders Bombardment."

"Boom! Boom boom boom! Boom!"

As the pillar thundered down, it brought with it five kinds of heaven-shocking divine thunder, stirring up five great thunder vortexes.

One thunderball was gold, accompanied by knives, spears, metals, ironware, and car accidents.

Another thunderball was gleaming white, accompanying rivers and lakes.

A third one was azure, following staffs, mountains, forests, and trees.

A fourth thunderball was red, coming with flames, meteors, and the Flame Pool.

There was also a yellow thunderball, carrying rocks, mountains, and the great earth itself.

These five kinds of thunderballs actually embodied the five shallow profound meanings of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, namely Gold Thunder, Wood Thunder, Water Thunder, Fire Thunder, Earth Thunder.

This was the Five Thunders Bombardment.

The Lei Meng Beast God, due to its origins, had its bloodline fixed as thunderbolt from birth, unchangeable and irreversible forever.

Yet, He loathed his innate thunderbolt bloodline and sought something else.

Unexpectedly, He really managed to create divine thunder that contained The True Meaning of the Five Elements, through the secret blood skill he comprehended by borrowing the power of thunder.

Moreover, with this, He forged a Divine Artifact known as "Five Thunders Bombardment."

"This..."

Pang Jian looked up and glanced at those five kinds of divine thunder crashing down, his face involuntarily showing a touched expression.

"Then I shall accept it with due respect."

With a thought in his mind, Pang Jian mobilized the divine skills of his five viscera, stimulating The Tao of the Five Elements he had painstakingly comprehended.

"Whoosh! Whoosh whoosh! Whoosh whoosh!"

Five splendid Star Rivers emerged in the Mysterious Fog of the void around him.

Each splendid Star River corresponded to one of his organs, echoing the principles of The Tao of the Five Elements he pondered over, manifesting an attractive force.

These five splendid Star Rivers were another form of "Mysterious Realm of the Hollow Heaven," leading directly to his five viscera.

The Gold Thunder fell into the Golden Star Field, while the Wood Thunder, Water Thunder, Fire Thunder, and Earth Thunder also fell into the star domain that matched their attributes.

To Pang Jian, the crude Thunder Divine Skill infused with the five elements of heaven and earth by the Lei Meng Beast God was nothing but a minor technique, easily absorbed and digested by his Star River of the Five Elements.

Once the profound mysteries of the Great Tao within the divine thunder dissipated, the thunderballs were left only with raw energy, devoid of guiding principles.

And so, Pang Jian laughed and accepted them all.

He took the majestic Thunder Divine Power from within the thunderballs and incorporated it into the Sea of Thunder Vortex within his Primordial Spirit Body, then, with the thunderbolt, he soared heavenwards in a single bound.

"Swoosh!"

He landed atop the pillar of "Five Thunders Bombardment" that the Lei Meng Beast God had previously concealed, transforming the Divine Power of the Five Elements from his body into five-colored divine light that poured directly into the pillar.

"So this Divine Artifact, you prepared it for me, right? What, you want to trade it for the Thunder Pond?"

Pang Jian was in high spirits.

The five kinds of powers, Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, floated around the "Five Thunders Bombardment" in the form of the Star River of the Five Elements, joining him in refining this bizarrely-shaped Divine Artifact.

The Lei Meng Beast God was indeed a marvel, showing disdain for the thunderbolt bloodline He was born with, and insisting on pursuing other Great Tao.

Without the corresponding bloodline, He used His Qi and Blood to simulate and deduce the shallow powers of the Five Elements, thereby creating the Thunder Divine Skill of Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth.

It was just a pity that He had no foundation in the Five Elements.

The power of the Five Thunders Bombardment He created was fundamentally composed of the might of the Thunder God’s power and essence, accounting for ninety-nine percent of the artifact’s power.

The Five Element’s power made up only a tiny, pitiful fraction.

His Five Thunders Bombardment was essentially hollow, its essence still the Thunder Tao.

The half-baked shallow power of the Five Elements, when added to the thunderbolt, not only did not enhance the strength of the Five Thunders Bombardment, but it also acted as a restriction.

The reason was simple; the profound mysteries of the Five Elements He imbued were too elementary, and His Thunder Technique came from the Thunder God, one of the top thunder techniques in the world.

Being incompatible and mismatched, without a foundation in the Five Elements, forcefully amalgamating them was just for show, and ultimately all flash and no substance.

"This object..."

Pang Jian looked down, his eyes filled with astonishment.

The pillar-shaped Five Thunders Bombardment was cast from an extraordinary process, truly incorporating the essence of the Five Elements.

Those essences of the Five Elements, unheard of by Pang Jian, were all displayed within this gleaming white pillar.

The artifact’s casting process was exceptional, and the materials top-notch; the Lei Meng Beast God must have really put in a lot of effort.

However, the Five Thunders Bombardment was not suitable for Him at all.

Wielding such a Divine Artifact in battle would only restrict His true power.

At His core, He was actually rejecting the Thunder Divine Power He was born with.

That’s why He went out of His way to create this flashy artifact to attack enemies, to prove that there was a possibility of success in another pursuit that conformed to His innermost desires.

This indeed represented a profound kind of sadness.

"This object, I shall take."

Pang Jian reached out into the void to grab it, and the Divine Artifact Five Thunders Bombardment, under the influence of the Star River of the Five Elements, gradually shrank until it became a stone pillar he could hold with one hand.
