Chapter 695 Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Flame Is an Eternal Flame but Also Heavenly Thunder

Lei Jinglong let out a few sinister laughs.

He drew out the white bone spear and pointed it at Shen Mo’s nose. “I don’t care to waste more words. Boy, bring out all your trump cards.”

“You are the only variable. Once I kill you, my mission will be complete.”

“I want you dead!”

Shen Mo revealed a faint smile. “What a coincidence, I was just about to send you on your way.”

Lei Jinglong burst out laughing. “Good, good, good! And what method do you plan to use to send me off?”

Shen Mo pointed to the sky. “Thunder.”

Lei Jinglong showed a look of disbelief and sneered. “Thunder? Do you not know that I am most skilled in thunder arts?”

“Do you not know that if I retreat into the Myriad Tribulations Thunder Prison, no thunder arts can harm me?”

“Boy, to use thunder against me, you truly do not know life from death.”

Shen Mo chuckled lightly. “That may not be so.”

“The thunder of this world is not limited to just those few kinds.”

At these words, Lei Daoheng, Bai Supreme, Xiang Gu, and the other Supremes all revealed strange expressions.

Thunder of this world, not limited to just a few kinds?

Hu Qing said in a low voice, “Supreme Daoheng, in matters of thunder, your knowledge far surpasses ours. Do you know how many kinds of thunder exist in this world?”

Lei Daoheng spoke solemnly. “The strongest is naturally Heavenly Thunder. As for Heavenly Thunder, it begins as Azure Thunder, grows stronger as Purple Thunder, and reaches its peak as Golden Thunder.”

“In my Thunder Prison clan, only the most powerful cultivators are able to seize a strand of Golden Thunder from Heavenly Thunder and make it their own.”

“Many times, they must endure the backlash pain of Golden Thunder.”

“When Lei Jinglong was young and arrogant, at the Divine Palace Realm, he tried to take Golden Thunder for himself. In the end, he was harmed instead, delaying his cultivation for two hundred years.”

Lei Daoheng pondered for a moment, then continued. “Besides Heavenly Thunder, there is also the thunder condensed within the bodies of spirit beasts, which cultivators call Beast Thunder.”

“But this type of thunder is relatively weak.”

“When Heavenly Thunder and Yin Fiend Qi, by chance, come into contact, they may give birth to a new thunder, called Fiend Thunder.”

“Fiend Thunder possesses extremely strong destructive power, but it is not the proper path. If one absorbs Fiend Thunder for personal use, one may very well be affected by it.”

“The price of temporary strength could be the loss of one’s long-term future.”

“Other than these, there is no other thunder.”

Lei Daoheng could not help but shake his head.

At this moment, Xiang Gu suddenly said, “No, perhaps there is another kind of thunder, though it can also be said to be a kind of flame.”

Lei Daoheng was stunned, then suddenly reacted and immediately said, “Yes! If you put it that way, there truly is another kind of thunder.”

The other Supremes all revealed astonished looks.

From the Holy Land of Reincarnation, a middle-aged cultivator with graying temples suddenly recalled something. “I know, it is the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Flame!”

Lei Daoheng nodded in approval. “Exactly!”

“The Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Flame is an eternal flame, but it is also Heavenly Thunder.”

“If in this world the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Flame truly still exists, then without a doubt, it is the strongest thunder of all! Far above Golden Thunder!”

Bai Supreme asked in puzzlement, “It disappeared?”

Lei Daoheng nodded. “It disappeared, vanishing with that great war between gods and demons.”

“Some say it was obtained by the Flame Emperor and never revealed again.”

“Some say it gained intelligence, took human form, sacrificed itself to kill several Demon Saints, and ultimately dissipated completely.”

“Others say it fell into the Ancient Province Heaven and Earth, lost in the endless void, never to be heard of again.”

Upon hearing this, the Supremes all sighed deeply.

That war between gods and demons severed countless inheritances and caused the fall of innumerable powerhouses.

Even the ancestral grounds of many experts, that place known as the ‘Ancient Province,’ were directly cut off by boundless might and submerged into the void.

The disappearance of the eternal flame is indeed also a possibility.

However, no matter what the truth may be, for nearly one hundred thousand years no one has ever seen the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Flame.

It has never revealed itself.

Nor has it ever been subdued by any powerhouse.

It is said that its last master was the Flame Emperor, who sought to collect all the eternal flames under heaven.

Yet even that Flame Emperor, hailed as the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Flames, could not fully tame it. He merely established an equal bond of friendship with it.

The Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Flame, ranked second on the Eternal Flame List and a divine treasure of heaven and earth, has never truly submitted to anyone.

“Tell me, could it be that this young man is so confident because he has the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Flame?”

The middle-aged Supreme of the Holy Land of Reincarnation forced a bitter smile as he spoke.

Bai Supreme mocked, “Perhaps. Who knows? Maybe the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Flame, which even the Flame Emperor could not tame, was subdued by this young man.”

The female Supreme of the Burning Heaven Divine Sect covered her mouth and laughed lightly. “In every era, talent rises, each dazzling for tens of thousands of years.”

“At first it was the Great Desolate Venerate who suppressed the world. Then came the Prison Saint, the Nine Yin Saint, the Divine Phoenix, and other Saints who rose one after another.”

“Later, it was the Flame Emperor and the Martial Ancestor.”

“Who can say this young man may not be the future Flame Emperor, the coming Martial Ancestor?”

“If that is the case, his ability to tame the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Flame would not be surprising.”

When her words ended, Lei Daoheng and the other Supremes all chuckled.

They did not take this matter seriously.

Even the female Supreme of the Burning Heaven Divine Sect herself only treated it as a jest to lighten the mood.

After all, she also knew that even the Flame Emperor, with his heaven-shaking talent, could not subdue the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Flame.

This young man, unknown throughout the Eastern Continent and not even considered a prodigy, what qualifications could he possibly have to tame it?

“Let us see what his trump card truly is…”

Lei Daoheng and the other Supremes cast their gazes over.

Their eyes were filled with a strange light.

They hoped for a miracle to appear upon this young man.

Yet they also felt that miracles were too fantastical to be expected.

“Let me see—what is this strongest thunder of the world that you claim to possess!”

Lei Jinglong sneered coldly.

He brushed his hand across his weapon, and torrents of purple lightning coiled around the white bone spear.

Within that purple lightning, faint strands of golden light burst forth.

As if within the extremity of purple, radiant golden brilliance was being nurtured!

“It is Golden Thunder. As expected, he is about to truly take Golden Thunder as his own.”

Lei Daoheng sighed deeply.

Originally, Lei Jinglong could have had limitless possibilities for his future.

Perhaps he might even have inherited the mantle of the Prison Saint.

But now, he stood upon the opposing side.

It was truly lamentable and sorrowful.

The other Supremes also sighed aloud.

They mourned that Lei Jinglong had taken the wrong path.

“Come then!”

Lei Jinglong laughed viciously as he looked at the black-robed youth.

Shen Mo raised his hand as well.

From the heavens above, countless massive purple spears hung upside down.

A rough glance showed at least fifty of them.

They hung like executioner’s blades suspended high, ready to fall at any moment.

“Fifty spears cannot kill me.”

Lei Jinglong sneered, utterly unafraid.

Purple Thunder was still Purple Thunder.

It could not be compared with Golden Thunder.

The lightning he wielded had already surpassed the essence of Purple Thunder. He was only one step away from transitioning into Golden Thunder.

Shen Mo, however, remained unhurried.

Facing the oncoming white bone spear, he slowly raised his right hand.

In the next instant, a golden flame suddenly ignited in his palm!

Within that golden flame burst forth blinding and sacred thunderlight.

It seemed as though it would annihilate all evil and corruption in the world into ash.

It was none other than the second-ranked flame on the Eternal Flame List, the strongest thunder of all under heaven—Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Flame!
