Chapter 641 - 626: Devouring, Success

Shen Lang couldn’t help but worry.

He was besieged by troubles, both internal and external...

Outside, a destructive Tribulation Thunder of unimaginable power was forming, its might simply inconceivable.

Meanwhile, inside his Tai Chi Diagram, the thirty-plus Purple Tribulation Thunders he had previously absorbed were like Fierce Beasts trapped in a cage, frantically ramming against their confines in every direction!

Tribulation Thunder was the king of Thunder Power, and there was almost nothing in this world that could restrain it...

At least, none of the energies Shen Lang currently knew of or could control within the Tai Chi Diagram were capable of suppressing this Purple Tribulation Thunder.

Dozens of Purple Tribulation Thunders were bound by one Thunderbolt Chain after another, but they couldn’t be restrained at all!

No matter how large, thick, or numerous the Thunderbolt Chains became, the Purple Tribulation Thunders simply dragged them along as they rampaged everywhere!

Their power had reached an unbelievable level!

Monstrous waves surged across the Sea of Chaos, and the roiling gales were absolutely terrifying.

The Ghost King, who was cultivating inside, had no idea what was happening. His soul nearly scattered in fright, and he let out a series of strange cries. He could only curl into a ball, staying motionless beside a tiny green sprout.

Throughout the entire Tai Chi Diagram, aside from some distant regions of the Sea of Chaos, only the area around this small green sprout remained calm...

Shen Lang controlled the Tai Chi Diagram, trying to refine the absorbed Purple Thunder Balls one by one.

At the same time, he kept a cautious watch on everything happening within the thunderclouds high above, his brow deeply furrowed.

The vortex around Shen Lang was still spinning violently, and tyrannical Thunder Power filled the surrounding space.

Although the experts on Cangxia Mountain had powerful Divine Thought, the interference from the Tribulation Thunder’s power prevented them from seeing what was happening inside. They could only guess wildly in their hearts.

Those close to Shen Lang, like the members of the Profound Dao Sect, were on pins and needles, their hearts feeling as if they would leap out of their chests...

No one dared to speak. The only sound left in the entire world was the muffled, ferocious roar of thunder.

And within the thunderclouds high above, right before Shen Lang’s eyes... a small Golden Thunder Ball was slowly taking shape!

Across the sky, for a hundred miles in every direction, an endless five-colored radiance appeared, an incredibly strange sight.

An unprecedented aura of destruction was being released from that Golden Thunder Ball, shaking the heavens and the earth!

Even the several Emperor Martial Realm experts nearby turned pale with shock!

’Strike first to gain the advantage, strike second and suffer disaster!’

Staring intently as the small Golden Thunder Ball slowly formed within the thunderclouds and feeling the destructive aura that filled the world, Shen Lang’s Battle Intent surged.

At that moment, Shen Lang made up his mind and hesitated no longer!

The boundless Spiritual Power within his Tai Chi Diagram began to pour continuously into the Immortal Celestial Saber!

For the time being, Shen Lang cast aside the dozens of Purple Thunder Balls inside his Tai Chi Diagram, ignoring them completely.

The Thunder Balls in the Tai Chi Diagram wouldn’t cause any major problems in the short term. The Golden Thunder Ball in the clouds, though less than half the size of the purple ones, was the greatest threat!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Spiritual Power surged into the Immortal Celestial Saber like a flood, and an incomparably sharp Saber Intent coalesced upon the long blade.

Shen Lang’s powerful, sharp aura and Momentum swept across the entire Imperial Capital!

A fierce gust of wind swept past. The Immortal Celestial Saber in Shen Lang’s hand began to tremble along a very strange trajectory, moving faster and faster as a boundless Saber Intent spread out!

The Celestial Purity Sect’s Demon Blade Technique, which he had used once before to slay Yuwen Huaji, was finally being unleashed!

The Demon Blade Technique, an Emperor Level Blade Technique created by Zuo Wentian himself!

It was many times stronger than even the Netherworld King’s Three Extremes Sword!

Shen Lang did have techniques in his mind that were stronger than this Emperor Level Technique, but they were complex and difficult to master, not nearly as simple and direct as the Demon Blade Technique.

It was just like the Thunder Control Divine Technique. The true Thunder Control Divine Technique was considerably more powerful than the Demon Blade Technique; if one had to make a comparison, only Zuo Wentian’s ultimate blade technique, the Heaven-Questioning Saber, was worthy of being compared to it.

But the Thunder Control Divine Technique was simply too difficult. Given three to five years of Cultivation in both, its power and progress would be far inferior to the Demon Blade Technique.

With Shen Lang’s current Cultivation and his practice of both Cultivation Techniques, the Demon Blade Technique was clearly far, far stronger for him.

Although he might expose the Demon Blade Technique and have his connection to the Celestial Purity Sect discovered...

...faced with such a colossal threat, Shen Lang couldn’t be bothered with that now.

The incomparably tyrannical Saber Intent of the Demon Blade Technique spread out, and the Primordial Qi of the heavens and earth crazily converged on Shen Lang.

All the residual Chaotic Energy left from the exploding Tribulation Thunder was absorbed!

A blade of light erupted from the Immortal Celestial Saber, and like a world-ending edge, it viciously slashed toward the thundercloud!

"Water Demon Saber, Divide Sea, Split Earth, Break the Vault of Heaven!"

With a soft cry, a peerless blade of light burst forth, its edge pure and sharp, its dominance absolute!

The originally dim world instantly brightened at this moment.

It was as if this one slash had torn a giant gash in the darkness, allowing light to pour out from the opening...

The endless black clouds were instantly cleaved apart by this colossal Saber Qi!

The Water Demon Saber sliced through the clouds and mist, striking with unerring precision upon the still-gathering Golden Thunder Ball within the thundercloud!

KRA-ACK!

A cataclysmic sound, as if the world itself was being torn asunder, seemed to echo in everyone’s mind...

Even with Emperor Martial Realm experts like Chaos and Shark’s Kiss holding up a barrier, all the powerhouses watching felt the world spin!

Everyone’s skin felt as if it had been grazed by a sharp blade, the pain unbearable!

In the sky, the thundercloud roiled and tumbled, parting to both sides and completely revealing the Golden Thunder Ball still gathering power within!

However, after withstanding this first strike of the Demon Blade Technique, the Water Demon Saber, a great deal of the Golden Thunder Ball’s Energy was consumed. The speed at which it gathered ambient Energy also slowed for a moment!

Without a second thought, Shen Lang brandished his saber. The surging Spiritual Power in his body circulated wildly, and the long blade vibrated at a frequency imperceptible to the naked eye. A blade of light flashed, and the second strike was already unleashed!

"Earth Demon Saber, Heaven-Burning Sea-Boiling World-Twisting!"

The Earth Demon Saber was completely different from the Water Demon Saber.

The Water Demon Saber gathered Heaven and Earth Energy to form a powerful strike, primarily relying on the Water Element Spiritual Qi in the world.

But the Earth Demon Saber relied on the Power of Earth. With one slash, countless blades of light erupted from the ground below. Like a mountain of blades, one peerless beam of saber light after another slashed toward the Golden Thunder Ball high above!

It was a very strange scene.

It was as if Shen Lang’s slash was merely a general on a battlefield waving his flag, and an army of thousands then drew their blades in unison at his command!

Countless blades of light erupted from the ground and then slammed down onto the Golden Thunder Ball.

They were continuous and endless!

Each slash consumed a massive amount of the Golden Thunder Ball’s Energy!

After tens of millions of slashes, the Golden Thunder Ball’s aura had weakened by a full third!

The thundercloud began to gather once more, only to be sliced into fragments by the Earth Demon Saber.

A great clap of thunder sounded, and streaks of purple lightning roiled with the thunder, accelerating their convergence toward the center from all directions.

The small golden sphere at the very center shone with a brilliant, blinding light, making it impossible to look at directly.

’Not good, there isn’t much time left...’

Shen Lang stepped through the void. The Spiritual Power in his body circulated faster and faster. In just five breaths, the ultimate strike of the Demon Blade Technique was unleashed!

"Celestial Demon Saber! Destroy the Heavens, Obliterate the Earth! Gods Die, Demons Perish!"

Suddenly, an earth-shattering explosion rang out from thin air. Everyone had the illusion that the entire world had just violently shuddered...

Then, a blade of light, condensed to the absolute limit, appeared. In a single flash, it seemed to tear through space itself as it slashed down onto the Golden Thunder Ball!

The ultimate Demon Saber, carrying an aura of annihilation, instantly sheared away more than half of the Golden Thunder Ball!

The Energy the Golden Thunder Ball had been gathering for so long was finally reduced to a fifth of its peak!

At that very moment, the Golden Thunder Ball let out an explosive roar and suddenly plummeted toward Shen Lang!

Dark clouds gathered, and lightning crackled.

Golden light flashed, blindingly bright.

"HAHAHAHA!"

Shen Lang let out a wild laugh. He instantly sheathed his Immortal Celestial Saber, and a vortex, now twice as large as before, whipped out like a giant hand and instantly enveloped the Golden Thunder Ball!

"Star Absorption Technique!"

In the sky, the massive vortex bit down hard on the Golden Thunder Ball, which released its destructive aura, trying to shake off the power binding it.

The grab and the struggle—they were evenly matched!

At this moment, Shen Lang was like a fisherman who had netted a great shark, being dragged away from the Profound Dao Sect’s territory by the Golden Tribulation Thunder.

But no matter how the Tribulation Thunder struggled, it could not break free from the massive vortex, could not escape this tightly binding net!

Except for Xue Shiyin, everyone else was blocked by the tyrannical Thunder Power and couldn’t clearly see Shen Lang’s insane actions.

But Xue Shiyin could see everything perfectly!

Her two doppelgangers flickered, appearing to Shen Lang’s left and right, ready to help at a moment’s notice!

If the Golden Tribulation Thunder were to explode, the two doppelgangers would immediately charge forward, using their bodies as shields to block the destructive Energy.

Shen Lang had no time to look elsewhere. He just gritted his teeth, controlling the vortex formed by the Tai Chi Diagram to lock down the Golden Tribulation Thunder.

He wanted to devour it completely!

As long as this Tribulation Thunder was swallowed by the Tai Chi Diagram, no matter how heaven-shatteringly powerful it was, it would ultimately be dismantled and analyzed by Shen Lang!

However, the Tai Chi Diagram was currently locked in an even struggle with the Tribulation Thunder, completely unable to swallow it!

’This is absurd! Can a juicy piece of meat escape when it’s already at my lips?’

A sharp glint flashed in Shen Lang’s eyes. He mobilized the full power of his Chaos Divine Body, pulling taut on the great net.

At the same time, not only did Shen Lang stop drawing Energy from the Tai Chi Diagram, but on the contrary, the incomparably ferocious Energy from his Nascent Soul began to pour back into the Tai Chi Diagram!

Even if it meant exhausting all of his power, as long as he could make the Tai Chi Diagram even a bit stronger, his chances of winning this tug-of-war would increase!

"Swallow it! Swallow it!"

Shen Lang roared, biting his lip so hard it bled!

At that exact moment, as if sensing Shen Lang’s absolute resolve, the Tai Chi Diagram suddenly trembled...

From within the vortex, a verdant, towering tree appeared out of thin air!

The instant the great tree appeared, its branches shot out like tentacles, instantly enveloping the Golden Thunder Ball!

The powerful Thunder Ball, which had been releasing a destructive aura, was wrapped by the tree’s branches, and its entire aura vanished without a trace!

Then, the tree’s branches rapidly retracted, pulling back into the Tai Chi Diagram.

The world-destroying Golden Thunder Ball vanished in the blink of an eye, as if it had never existed!

’It’s that tiny sprout from inside the Tai Chi Diagram!’ Shen Lang was both shocked and overjoyed. He immediately sat cross-legged in the void!

In the sky, the thunderclouds dispersed. Aside from the chaotic Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, which made it clear that everything that had just happened was neither a dream nor an illusion...

...everything returned to normal.

From this day forward, a name—"Shen Lang"—would spread throughout the Western Wilderness!
