Chapter 1447 (Raw 1429): Divine Lightning Eye
Xiao Chen quickly closed his eyes and listened carefully, understanding the information bit by bit.
The Divine Lightning Eye was one of the Thunder Immortal Ancestor's Supreme Magic Skills. Its core was the Divine Lightning. Without the Ten Thousand Tribulation Divine Lightning or an equivalent Divine Lightning, successfully executing the Magic Skill would be impossible.
Even the cleverest housewife could not cook without rice. Even one with great skills would not be able to execute it.
[TL Note: Even the cleverest housewife could not cook without rice: This is a Chinese idiom for not being able to do anything without raw material. Rice is a common staple for the Chinese, so a meal would usually not be complete without rice.]
Having the Ten Thousand Tribulation Divine Lightning was the foundation. There were still many mysteries after that. During the Immortal Epoch, Immortal Cultivators would have to undergo three calamities and nine disasters. After that, there would be many rounds of Heavenly Tribulations.
The lightning tribulations of these were all materialized from the Ten Thousand Tribulation Divine Lightning. Hence, it was no exaggeration to call it the ancestor or master of lightning tribulations.
The Divine Lightning Eye was a Supreme Magic Skill that called down lightning tribulations. It used the eye to activate these, and the process was very similar to Eye Techniques.
After one succeeded in practicing the Divine Lightning Eye, one could call down the might of a lightning tribulation with a flicker of one's eyes. Nothing within one's line of sight would be able to dodge. That was how terrifying this Magic Skill was.
There was a total of ten layers to this Divine Lightning Eye. The first layer could call down only one bolt of lightning tribulation. The second layer could call down two bolts of lightning tribulations at the same time. The third layer would apply the first two layers, calling down three bolts of lightning tribulations.
At first, it looked like there were not many changes. However, it truly became heaven-defying from the fourth layer onwards. The fourth layer would apply the first three layers, calling down six bolts of lightning tribulations.
<pThe fifth layer was twelve bolts of lightning tribulations, and the exponential increase continued until the ninth layer, which could call down one hundred and ninety-two bolts of lightning tribulations.
As for the tenth layer, it could unleash the might of the Divine Lightning Eye without holding anything back.
After Xiao Chen comprehended all this, he opened his eyes, goggling with shock.
He now finally understood what a Supreme Magic Skill was. Supreme meant unsurpassable.
For the nine Heavens of Martial Emperors, breaking through each Heaven required one to undergo a lightning tribulation. However, this lightning tribulation blocked many people from progressing. If Xiao Chen succeeded in cultivating this Ten Thousand Tribulation Divine Lightning, he could call down lightning tribulations. Just thinking about it filled one with anticipation.
It would be no exaggeration to say that the Divine Lightning Eye could decide life and death with one look.
However, Xiao Chen did not know if he would encounter any problems when cultivating the Divine Lightning Eye or how far he could go with his current cultivation.
After spending some time on comprehension, he started to try practicing the Divine Lightning Eye, a Supreme Magic Skill.
His first attempt was strangely smooth, much smoother than when he tried to practice Dharmic World. After thinking carefully, he figured that part of the reason could be the Thunder Immortal Ancestor personally passing on this Magic Skill to him.
The Thunder Immortal Ancestor had passed on to Xiao Chen not only the cultivation method of this Magic Skill but also his relevant experiences.
However, despite that, how far Xiao Chen could go would still depend on himself.
This guidance only gave him a head start, lowering the threshold and preventing him from going in the wrong direction.
Normally, even if one knew the trick to a Supreme Magic Skill, cultivating it would still take ten-odd years. Of course, to Immortals with long lifespans who had escaped the cycle of reincarnation, ten years was merely a flick of the finger.
Xiao Chen spent half a month in closed-door cultivation inside the pitch-black space. After a few trial runs, he finally felt confident of successfully executing it.
"I wonder how strong it is?!"
With some anticipation, Xiao Chen formed hand seals with both hands. Magic Energy surged in his sea of consciousness and coalesced into talismans flashing with bright light. The sky in the sea of consciousness looked like it was snowing as the talismans entered the Ten Thousand Tribulation Divine Lightning.
When Xiao Chen completed the last hand seal, all the talismans in the sea of consciousness entered the Divine Lightning.
The previously still Ten Thousand Tribulation Divine Lightning suddenly spun and released boundless light.
Xiao Chen's right eye felt an intense bloating. He saw countless flashing lightning bolts of all sorts. Then, he gasped in amazement at the variety of lightning tribulations.
The Ten Thousand Tribulation Divine Lightning appeared before Xiao Chen's eyes. Before he could react, a bolt of lightning tribulation turned into a seed and landed in his eye.
The seed took root in the depths of his eye. The boundless Magic Energy in his sea of consciousness gathered in his eye like fertilizer.
The seed became like a huge whirlpool, instantly sucking Xiao Chen's Magic Energy dry. However, that was still not enough. The one thousand strands of Primordial Energy in his Heart of an Emperor turned into beams of light, entering his eye.
After the seed drained three hundred strands of Primordial Energy, Xiao Chen heard a crisp sound in his eye like something broke out of the ground.
"Whoosh!"
The lightning tribulation seed sprouted and bloomed.
The instant the flower bloomed, a black flower with nine petals appeared in his eye, quickly spinning. As Xiao Chen sat on the throne, his clothes and hair fluttered without any wind. At this moment, he was connected to heaven.
It personified the Thunder Immortal Ancestor. A strong aura swept out, inducing a suffocating pain.
Under the asphyxiated feeling, seeds of horror sprouted in the heart. The lightning tribulation was a symbol of the Heavenly Dao's punishment. All cultivators in the world instinctively feared lightning tribulations.
The flower's nine petals closed up, and it bore fruit, turning into a cool light fusing into the depths of his eye.
At this moment, Xiao Chen felt his right eye fill with horrifying energy. If he was not careful, this energy might explode and crush him.
He needed to unleash this energy. Otherwise, he would be the one dying.
It felt like a beast roaring in his heart. Xiao Chen locked onto the space in front. "Boom!" Intense electric light exploded at that point, looking resplendent and dazzling in that pitch-black space.
The golden lightning dragons in the surroundings all felt a trace of fear spreading in their hearts and trembled.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
A bolt of vast electric light struck that spot. Explosions rang out continuously. The might of the lightning tribulation kicked up strong winds.
The Cycle Throne was blown back. Space shattered, and countless spatial cracks spread out relentlessly. The entire lightning world seemed to be starting to crumble. In the next instant, the spot that the lightning tribulation struck failed to contain all that energy.
"Boom!" The lightning tribulation turned into a vast electric light and radiated throughout the lightning world.
With this strike, the shuddering small world collapsed.
This triggered an intense chain reaction. The thousands of golden lightning dragons exploded one by one. Golden electric light soared into the sky from the bottom of the lake, vaporizing the lake water and looking like a sharp sword stabbing the sky.
