Devouring

Xiao Ming stared intently at the distant Mysterious Thunder, Mysterious Thunder emanated from the Thunder Pool and was supported by Glazed Platform resembling Phoebe leaf. The Mysterious Thunder flashed continuously on the Glazed Jade Leaf, and terrifying Lightning split off from it.

Meanwhile, the Mysterious Thunder and Liuli jade stones shimmered and spun, radiating brilliance.

"Good."

Hearing Venerable Tian Huo's words, Xiao Ming nodded slightly.

Venerable Tian Huo offered to do it for him, and Xiao Ming was happy to oblige. The Pure Lotus Flowing Light Thunder looked imposing, and he was only Five-star Dou Zong. If he wanted to safely cross the Thunder Pool and then remove the Pure Lotus Flowing Light Thunder, it would take a lot of effort, and he might even get injured.

He wouldn't choose to work hard for something he could gain without effort.

The next moment, Venerable Tian Huo stepped into the space, letting bolts of Lightning strike his body, the Lei Guang.

Lei Guang flashed continuously, and the shocking scene of several, or even dozens, of Lightning striking Venerable Tian Huo caused Xiao Ming to narrow his eyes.

Venerable Tian Huo appeared calm. Xiao Ming could see a faint red membrane on his body, which was probably a protective measure.

In an instant, Venerable Tian Huo crossed the Thunder Pool and arrived beside the Pure Lotus Flowing Light Thunder, extending his palm to touch it.

"Boom..."

Just as Venerable Tian Huo was about to touch the Pure Lotus Flowing Light Thunder, a terrifying Lightning erupted from it, slamming fiercely into his arm.

Under this blast, even someone as powerful as Venerable Tian Huo was forced to take a small step back, and a tingling sensation spread through his arm, which he had to shake his arm repeatedly to dispel.

"This Pure Lotus Flowing Light Thunder is indeed quite remarkable."

With a slight gasp of surprise, Venerable Tian Huo reached out again.

The Thunder Pool seemed to have been activated at this moment, and a large amount of Lightning surged from all directions, striking Venerable Tian Huo. Venerable Tian Huo was instantly covered by Lei Guang again, and his whole body shone brightly.

"Boom... Boom..."

Bolts of Lightning struck Venerable Tian Huo relentlessly. Despite the continuous Lightning, Venerable Tian Huo did not retreat another step, but his entire body was completely covered by the Lightning.

"Boom..."

When the hand touched the Pure Lotus Flowing Light Thunder, the Pure Lotus Flowing Light Thunder became violently violent, and a Lightning as thick as an arm burst out from it, fiercely striking the arm of Venerable Tian Huo.

The space around the Venerable Tian Huo's arm slightly distorted, extinguishing the flames.

Then, following the natural flow of the lightning, he grabbed the Pure Lotus Flowing Light Thunder. Just as Venerable Tian Huo was about to forcibly pull up the Mysterious Thunder, he heard Xiao Ming's voice calling out to him.

Turning his head, he saw Xiao Ming pointing at the Lotus Glazed Slice under the Pure Lotus Flowing Light Thunder.

Venerable Tian Huo instantly understood; this meant he was to take the item along with the rest.

Venerable Tian Huo did not hesitate. He had originally intended to take all these things with him, and with a wave of his hand, all the jade stones were taken away.

Then he forcibly trapped the Pure Lotus Flowing Light Thunder in his palm, flew back to Xiao Ming's side, and stretched out his hand to Xiao Ming.

"For you."

Xiao Ming looked at the slightly distorted space in the palm of Venerable Tian Huo, where Lei Guang flickered, and smiled helplessly.

"This Pure Lotus Flowing Light Thunder is quite restless, and this isn't a good place to devour it. Old Yao, please take out those Jade Leaf."

Following the instructions of Venerable Tian Huo, a flash of white light appeared, and a stack of jade pieces radiating a glassy luster appeared on the ground.

Xiao Ming bent down and picked up the jade pieces, then wrapped them around the Pure Lotus Flowing Light Thunder on the Venerable Tian Huo.

"Old Yao, release the barrier."

Upon hearing this, Venerable Tian Huo withdrew the Space Barrier that enveloped the Pure Lotus Flowing Light Thunder.

Having left the Space Barrier, and enveloped by the Jade Leaf shimmering with iridescent light, the Pure Lotus Flowing Light Thunder was firmly contained, with no further bursts of Lightning.

Clearly, the Jade Leaf can suppress the rage of the Mysterious Thunder.

Seeing that his guess was correct, Xiao Ming breathed a sigh of relief, held up the Jade Leaf that shimmered with a glassy luster, and smiled at Venerable Tian Huo:

"These Jade Glazed Leaf are excellent materials for refining weapons. Born from the same source as the Pure Lotus Flowing Light Thunder, they are also formed from the essence of heaven and earth. Using them for refining weapons can greatly enhance the resonance ability with Lightning Attribute Dou Qi, making Supreme Treasure for those with the Lightning Attribute. Furthermore, because they are born from the same source, they can suppress the Pure Lotus Flowing Light Thunder."

Venerable Tian Huo gazed at the warm, smooth Jade Leaf in Xiao Ming's hand and nodded slightly.

"If this thing were outside, those Lightning Attribute experts would probably fight tooth and nail for it. Hehe, I originally wanted to take that Thunder Platform too; it's a Supreme Treasure as well. But I think if that thing were taken away, it might be difficult for the Pure Lotus Flowing Light Thunder to be generated here again."

"You did the right thing. Always leave room for maneuver. We've already gained enough."

Xiao Ming smiled, then turned and walked back the way he came.

"Let's go back. We'll have to trouble Old Yao later."

"Hehe, you gave me my second life, why are you being so polite now?" Venerable Tian Huo laughed as he chased after him.

With the departure of the two, Thunder Pool returned to its former state, waiting for the next Fated Person.

Back in the space where they had rested, Xiao Ming sat down cross-legged, while Venerable Tian Huo kept his distance.

Looking at the Mysterious Thunder in his hand, Xiao Ming breathed a sigh of relief and slowly peeled off the Glazed Jade Slice.

Terrifying Lightning suddenly erupted from the Mysterious Thunder, striking Xiao Ming's body one after another. Even though Xiao Ming was prepared and had his Dou Qi protecting him, he couldn't help but let out a muffled groan as a faint tingling sensation spread through his body.

A bolt of Thunder flashed, striking the pure white spirit.

The moment it came into contact with the spirit, the spirit devoured it.

The ferocity of the Pure Lotus Flowing Light Thunder did not diminish as the Lightning was devoured; on the contrary, it became even more ferocious. Thick bolts of Lightning blasted out, and the Pure Lotus Flowing Light Thunder was as if it were being coiled by Lightning Snake. Its entire body was covered in Lightning, and the dark space around it was illuminated brightly as a result.

However, the violent Lightning made the spirit extremely excited, spinning wildly and devouring the incoming bolts of Lightning. Xiao Ming could feel the energy within the spirit's body increasing, and it also gained a new attribute.

Seeing Ling's excitement, Xiao Ming's gaze also fell upon the raging Pure Lotus Flowing Light Thunder in his hand.

With a thought, the spirit transformed into a small snake, coiled around his hand, and then swallowed the Pure Lotus Flowing Light Thunder in one gulp.

"Boom..."

The Pure Lotus Flowing Light Thunder went completely berserk, and its primordial Lightning finally erupted. However, since it had already been swallowed by the spirit, it could not cause any ripples. Only some tiny arcs of electricity could be seen on the surface of the spirit.

"Pfft..."

Seeing Xiao Ming's actions, Venerable Tian Huo couldn't help but twitch his lips.

No one knows what kind of Cultivation Method Xiao Ming is practicing, but he just swallowed the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Object like that.

Even for him, absorbing this Mysterious Thunder would require a long preparation period, and there was still a significant possibility of failure.

Thinking it's that easy and that you can just start devouring things so casually is impossible!
