After the Mountain-Splitting Thunder Bear fell, strands of violent thunder baleful energy poured from its shattered thunder core, trying to burrow back into the earth, only for Lu Chen's Three-Legged Golden Crow to swallow them all.
Black lightning kept exploding inside the Golden Crow's phantom body.
The crimson-gold flames on its wings shook violently, as though the lightning might tear them apart at any moment. But with a clear, ringing cry, it forcibly suppressed all the thunder baleful energy and carried it back into Lu Chen's body.
Boom!
Lightning far denser than anything an ordinary Thunder Corpse possessed erupted without warning.
Lu Chen's body jolted, the golden light over his skin shaking violently. Black lightning scoured his flesh, hammered his sinews and bones, then surged along his meridians into his five internal organs. The agony stopped his breath dead.
Wherever the icy thunder baleful energy passed, his flesh seemed to lose its vitality, while countless needle-sharp pains stabbed through his bones.
Every burst of lightning tore apart countless tiny strands of flesh.
Golden Crow blood followed close behind, flooding through the wounds like a scalding torrent and repairing the damaged flesh. Destruction and rebirth alternated without pause, making Lu Chen's demon-subduing golden body ever more solid.
The thunder baleful energy within a single Thunder Beast equaled that of dozens of ordinary Thunder Corpses!
And it tempered Lu Chen's golden body far more powerfully.
Faint, dark-red lightning markings began appearing beneath Lu Chen's skin.
One marking stretched from his shoulder to his chest. Each time it flashed, a deep rumble sounded within him.
Lu Chen suppressed the burning pain in his organs and looked ahead. More enormous figures had emerged from the crimson mist, their black lightning joining into a sheet that lit the entire forest in flickering bursts.
