Immortal and Martial Dual Cultivation

Chapter 1445: Thunder Immortal Ancestor

"Sky Dome Immortal Lord, you still ended up coming here!"

There was no time for Xiao Chen to feel any ground. A loud crackle rang out amid the boundless light. Then, the light suddenly sparkled like a flame.

Before the intense light, the Great Perfection Innate Thunder Crystal directly melted. Instantly, Xiao Chen's feeling of lordship over lightning vanished.

Not only that, his will of thunder disappeared along with it. He would have to start from scratch all over again.

Saying that Xiao Chen's heart bled could not cover how he felt.

One moment ago, he was rejoicing that his Innate Thunder Crystal approached Great Perfection. In the next moment, he fell from the clouds to rock bottom, perhaps even worse. It was like he lost everything.

However, this did not even have time to shock him. A sentence came from the light, completely stunning him.

Xiao Chen wanted to look at the light directly but found that his eyes could not withstand the brightness, unable to look directly at it. He could only tilt his head to the side and squint at it sidelong. Even so, he still felt a piercing pain in his eyes.

"Sky Dome Immortal Lord, why are you not saying anything? Has it been one million years? Maybe two million? How long has it been? I've already forgotten. I just know it is a very, very long time ago that the Immortal King asked if you have a way to save the Immortal Court, and you were as silent as you are now."

As the light flashed, Xiao Chen had to close his eyes. Even so, he still found the intense light piercing.

Only now did Xiao Chen understand that he could not look directly at the light not because of its intensity but because it contained might—the might of a superior being.

The Divine Lightning appeared, but Xiao Chen could only see the light flashing; he could not even speak.

However, that mysterious existence within the light took Xiao Chen's silence as reticence. It continued speaking, "You possess a strength that surpasses an Immortal King, but you did not become an Immortal King or an Immortal Ancestor, only a mere Immortal Lord.

"In the past, I could not understand it. Now, I do. Actually, you already foresaw the end of the Immortal Epoch, am I right?!"

Am I right?!

By the last three words, the mysterious existence within the light had clearly turned angry. Thunder roared endlessly together with the flickering light.

About to say something he just prepared, Xiao Chen was forced to swallow it back. This thunder tortured him terribly, and the light felt piercing.

"You are always this calm and indifferent. Haha! Even after millions of years, you are still the same. After seeing countless Immortals fall, the Immortal Court split apart, and the six paths of reincarnation shatter, you are still so calm.

"Even after seeing me, the Thunder Immortal Ancestor, in such a sorry state, you are still so reticent. Tell me. You have the power to pluck stars and pull down the moon, able to change fate and reverse the power of the universe. Why was it that when the Immortal King asked you, you did not say a thing?!"

After the mysterious existence in the light raved about so many things, that being started coughing violently. The intense light slowly weakened.

Xiao Chen's heart raced with excitement. He had long guessed that this Divine Lightning had something to do with the Immortal Epoch. However, he had not expected the master of this Divine Lightning to be an Immortal Ancestor of the Immortal Epoch.

Under the Immortal King, there had been eight Immortal Ancestors. This Thunder Immortal Ancestor had absolutely been a supreme being during the Immortal Epoch.

This discovery simply surpassed Xiao Chen's expectations. Earlier, he was still thinking about how to subdue this Divine Lightning. If he had known this in advance, such a thought would not have appeared.

Given Xiao Chen's current strength, he could not even look directly at this Divine Lightning, much less subdue it.

Something's wrong.

Xiao Chen discovered something strange. The light dwindled. The aura and might of the mysterious existence continuously plummeted.

Xiao Chen found that he could slowly open his eyes. However, when he gradually turned his head back, he still found the light very piercing.

With the pressure that prevented him from speaking gone, Xiao Chen opened his eyes. Out of fear that the pressure would come back, he quickly said everything he wanted to in one breath.

"Senior, I'm not the Sky Dome Immortal Lord. Or more accurately, I'm only the Sky Dome Immortal Lord's reincarnation."

"Reincarnation?"

The mysterious existence in the light stopped coughing. Suddenly, its voice turned deep and grieved. "I thought that he was also able to escape. It turns out that he died too…"

Earlier, the mysterious existence's tone contained a boundless resentment for the Sky Dome Immortal Lord. However, when it heard that the Sky Dome Immortal Lord had died, all the resentment disappeared, turning into speechless grief.

It turns out that you died too.

Even my final hope is gone. Even the person I resented is gone. After waiting for several million years, this is the result I get in the end.

The Immortal Epoch is truly finished. There is not a single one left alive.

The light slowly retracted, and the powerful Divine Lightning revealed its true self. "Whoosh!" It flew over to Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen finally saw it clearly; this was a Divine Lightning Talisman. It was made with some unknown golden divine material infused into it. Only now did he discover that the Lightning Talisman that he had made was completely different from this.

An illusory figure was behind the Divine Lightning Talisman. He looked at Xiao Chen and demanded, "Then, why are you here? Do you know what the consequences of my undoing the Ten Thousand Dragon Cloud Locking Formation are for you?"

Xiao Chen braced himself and answered honestly, "Many years ago, I came here once. This time, I wanted to subdue the talisman in your hand. Previously, I thought it was an ownerless item. Now that I know it has an owner, I, naturally, no longer have such thoughts."

"With your strength?"

The figure laughed. As he spoke, pride was clear in his tone. "You want to subdue the Ten Thousand Tribulation Divine Lightning with your strength? During the Immortal Epoch, this talisman was the master of all tribulation lightning in the world. Even the Immortal King could not control it."

Xiao Chen said softly, "It is now the Martial Epoch. This talisman's position as the tribulation lightning's master definitely no longer exists."

"Even so, it is still not something you can subdue!" the Thunder Immortal Ancestor retorted without even thinking, evidently filled with pride.

Right now, Xiao Chen already no longer had such thoughts. He said directly, "Naturally, I abandoned thoughts of doing so already. However, Senior, you destroyed my Innate Thunder Crystal for no reason at all. You can't just let me leave in such a state."

"Are you referring to that talisman that approached the Ten Thousand Tribulation Divine Lightning? You are mistaken. I did not destroy it. It is that your level was insufficient, and the approaching talisman was not stable, lacking any spirituality whatsoever. After seeing the real thing, it dissolved itself. It has nothing to do with me."

The Thunder Immortal Ancestor's words pushed the matter aside completely, indicating no intention to take responsibility.

"Very well. This junior will leave now, then." Xiao Chen felt depressed, but he could only suffer in silence, swallowing this loss.

"Who let you go? This Immortal Ancestor has not subdued you yet. How can I let you go?!"

Xiao Chen's expression changed drastically when he heard that. He quickly moved back and asked, "What are you trying to do?!"

"Hahaha! Brat, remember this: it is this Immortal Ancestor using the Ten Thousand Tribulation Divine Lightning to subdue you, not you subduing me!"

The golden lightning dragons swam over and tightly encased Xiao Chen, preventing him from moving at all.

The Thunder Immortal Ancestor laughed loudly and poked Xiao Chen's forehead. Then, he used the drop of blood that emerged as a medium to draw a talisman, which he pasted on Xiao Chen's body.

"Buzz!"

Instantly, Xiao Chen's body completely froze. It felt like he turned into a metal statue.

"Brat, you are really very bold. With such a weak body, you actually considered subduing the Divine Lightning. If not for me, the Divine Lightning would instantly turn you to ashes the moment it entered your body."

At this moment, Xiao Chen felt like even his blood stopped flowing. His body strengthened by severalfold.

"Remember, it is this Immortal Ancestor subduing you, not you subduing this Immortal Ancestor," the Thunder Immortal Ancestor emphasized again.

Then, the Ten Thousand Tribulation Divine Lightning in his hand flashed with light and entered Xiao Chen's sea of consciousness.

The Ten Thousand Tribulation Divine Lightning quickly spun around and sent out a vast amount of lightning-attributed energy, which permeated into every cell of his body.

Instantly, countless cracks appeared on his skin as if his body would shatter.

Fortunately, this did not continue for long before his condition stabilized.

As the talisman spun around continuously, Xiao Chen's Thunder Dao soared. From nothing, a state of thunder formed, then the will of thunder, and the Innate Thunder Crystal.

From there, the Innate Thunder Crystal went on to reach Small Perfection, then Great Perfection, Consummation, and all the way until the formation of a Thunder Domain before coming to a stop.

"How unfortunate! It's such a great treasure, but your physical body cannot fully express its power. Never mind, I'll pass on a Supreme Magic Skill—the Divine Lightning Eye—to you. With only one look, you can trigger a lightning tribulation on someone to kill them."

The Thunder Immortal Ancestor poked Xiao Chen's forehead again, and a wealth of information poured directly into Xiao Chen's mind. The figure of the Thunder Immortal Ancestor faded, but the grin on his face grew increasingly wider.

"Haha! Being able to subdue the Sky Dome Immortal Lord's reincarnation at the point of my death is also considered a happy matter. Brat, I subdued you!"

The Thunder Immortal Ancestor laughed extremely carefreely. However, Xiao Chen only saw grief in his smile, a grief that had not changed for millions of years.

Then, the Thunder Immortal Lord's figure vanished into nothing.
