CHAPTER 1194: CHAPTER 786: DEVOURING DIVINE PATTERN_2

"No way, it can’t be complete!"

The Heavenly Thunder Venerable erupted with terrifying power from his body, but he murmured in a low voice, trying to resist this power and detach the broken bones from himself.

However, he was an ancestral artifact, and even though he had self-awareness, he ultimately still carried the essence of an ancestral artifact.

As long as it was an ancestral artifact, it would never reject its own fragments!

The Heavenly Thunder Venerable could not separate himself, nor could he prevent the fusion of the ancestral artifact. Breaking that piece of bone was simple for the litian spear, but almost impossible for him.

Thunderous power spread from the Heavenly Thunder Venerable, growing stronger, even a hundred times mightier than he was before!

Boom!

The Heavenly Thunder Venerable became completely whole!

"Another perfect ancestral artifact is born!"

Wu Duankong from the Dao Palace looked at the Heavenly Thunder Venerable with eyes like he was staring at a piece of exquisite meat, unable to conceal his greedy gaze.

A complete ancestral artifact was meant for devouring!

"It’s mine now!"

Wu Duankong laughed loudly, and the litian spear once again vibrated without holding back, crashing down towards the Heavenly Thunder Venerable!

"In your dreams!"

The Heavenly Thunder Venerable also growled, sending a palm strike forward!

This palm strike carried majestic heavenly power, domineering over the world, tearing the void apart with lightning strikes, challenging even experts in the mid-stage of the Ancestral Dao Realm to withstand such a powerful thundering palm.

Boom!

The palm wind howled, landing above Wu Duankong.

However, Wu Duankong’s litian spear suddenly trembled, creating countless distorted vortices in the void, transferring the overbearing thundering palm of the Heavenly Thunder Venerable away, appearing suddenly above Xiang Beifei and Li Qianluo!

Wu Duankong intended to kill these two using the hand of the Heavenly Thunder Venerable!

Xiang Beifei reacted quickly, knowing that Wu Duankong would not spare him. So the moment the Heavenly Thunder Venerable made a move, he took Li Qianluo and moved away. By the time the transfer vortex appeared overhead, he had already leaped far away.

Whoosh!

The thundering palm wind grazed his back, and although it did not hit him, the wave the Heavenly Thunder Venerable stirred was like a massive tidal wave that still blasted him away.

He felt his whole body strike by lightning, almost numbed and nearly charred.

The Heavenly Thunder Venerable roared angrily again, continuing to unleash numerous palm strikes.

But with the litian spear controlling the Heavenly Dao’s transportation, it was almost an invincible presence, evading every attack the Heavenly Thunder Venerable threw, impossible for his palms to hit Wu Duankong.

The bolts of lightning, without exception, pursued Xiang Beifei’s side instead.

"Hey, big guy, watch it! Don’t just hit randomly!" Xiaohei shouted loudly, standing on Xiang Beifei’s shoulder.

The Heavenly Thunder Venerable finally realized, from his actions until now, only two breaths had passed, yet at his power level, two breaths were almost enough to unleash many strikes and shred everything apart. If not for Xiang Beifei’s timely caution, he might have been gone already.

After a moment’s hesitation, the Heavenly Thunder Venerable withdrew his hand and didn’t continue attacking. Subconsciously, as the ancestral artifact, he recognized Xiang Beifei and Li Qianluo.

"Not attacking anymore? Then obediently submit!"

Wu Duankong raised his spear, thrusting it towards the Heavenly Thunder Venerable!

Crack! Crack!

All the thunder shattered; under unstoppable pressure, the mighty thundering power couldn’t withstand, the Heavenly Thunder Venerable was blasted down, crashing to the ground!

Yet Wu Duankong didn’t stop, continuing to reach out towards the Heavenly Thunder Venerable, with golden lights emanating from the litian spear, enveloping the Heavenly Thunder Venerable, trying to devour this complete thundering divine pattern!

"Absolutely not!"

The Heavenly Thunder Venerable roared angrily, desperately resisting.

But now he was merely an ancestral artifact, making it particularly difficult facing another ancestral artifact.

He turned his head, looking at Xiang Beifei.

At this moment, Xiang Beifei wasn’t far from him, holding Wufeng, slowly recovering from injuries. The Yin and Yang black and white energy enveloped his entire body, giving him an exceedingly mystical appearance.

The thunder in the Heavenly Thunder Venerable’s eye sockets grew increasingly tumultuous, and then the thunder suddenly emitted a radiant glow.

"I remember where the source energy of Yin and Yang you cultivate comes from, your ability must be inherited from that place! Yes, I understand what your existence means! So that’s how it is! So it’s you!"

The voice of the Heavenly Thunder Venerable resounded in Xiang Beifei’s ears, sounding bizarre, even making Xiang Beifei feel strange.

"Have you seen me before?" Xiang Beifei asked, surprised.

"No, I haven’t, but you can control the Heavenly Dao, can’t you?" the Heavenly Thunder Venerable quickly asked.

Xiang Beifei hesitated for a moment and said, "Yes."

"Then that’s right! I understand now! I understand your identity!"

The Heavenly Thunder Venerable roared loudly, and his body exploded with brilliant light; blue skeletal fragments shattered, transforming into small dots of thunder starlight, converging in the air, forming a blue divine pattern!

This is the Heavenly Dao divine pattern that controls thunder in the world!

But this divine pattern did not head towards the litian spear; it briefly broke free from the litian spear’s constraint, forcibly merging into Xiang Beifei’s body!

Crash!

Bolts of lightning flickered on Xiang Beifei’s body; he felt like his Spiritual Power was ignited by the thunder!

"What are you doing?"

Xiang Beifei was greatly shocked, never having imagined that the Heavenly Thunder Venerable would take such an action.

"Allowing you to devour the thundering divine pattern!"

The voice of the Heavenly Thunder Venerable echoed in Xiang Beifei’s mind.

"I devour the divine pattern?"

Xiang Beifei was taken aback!

Is there such a notion?

Can he also devour a divine pattern?

He’s not an ancestral artifact!

But then he thought differently, the Heavenly Thunder Venerable was once a powerful cultivator, and he transformed himself into a divine pattern.

The divine pattern covered Xiang Beifei’s entire skeletal structure, and he felt as if a dramatic transformation was occurring in his bones, with his entire Spiritual Power rapidly surging!

Inquiring Dao mid-stage!

Inquiring Dao late stage!

Ancestral Dao Realm!

Xiang Beifei felt as if he was about to be burst open, but such a feeling was challenging, as his divine soul had yet to fully cultivate to the Ancestral Dao Realm, forcibly entering the power of the Ancestral Dao Realm, leaving him struggling to control such an immense power.

"No, I can’t wield such powerful energy!" Xiang Beifei growled lowly.

This feeling left him helpless, having such potent power yet unable to wield it freely.

Moreover, having an aware divine pattern merge within him was not good, as he couldn’t suppress this power; if the divine pattern attempted to seize his body, he couldn’t resist.

However, he quickly realized he worried unnecessarily, as the Heavenly Thunder Venerable seemed correct, with his ability to control the Heavenly Dao, it seemed he wouldn’t fear the thundering divine pattern’s backlash.

He could control every cultivator’s Heavenly Dao laws, which also meant he could control the Heavenly Dao’s divine patterns truly!

The thunderous power within him slowly began to adapt to his body, almost as if it was adapting to him.

"I can help you control such potent energy. Now, unless you voluntarily separate, the Houtu Tribe members cannot take the divine pattern from you. I only hope that if you encounter people from the Thunder Dao Race in the future, you’ll lend a hand," said the Heavenly Thunder Venerable.

"Alright."

Xiang Beifei agreed.

Buzz!

Thunderous power exploded around him as he stood in mid-air, his eyes glowing blue with electric arcs flying around him, then he looked towards Wu Duankong.

At this moment, Wu Duankong had retracted his sly smile, turning extremely somber.

"You actually can devour a divine pattern!"

Wu Duankong’s voice was cold.

If the thundering divine pattern was swallowed by Wufeng, or some other ancestral artifact, it would be acceptable, since those too were ancestral artifacts.

But for a human to swallow the thundering divine pattern, that changed everything!

"Who on earth are you!"

Wu Duankong shouted coldly.
