Conquer the game world

Chapter 143 Thunder Stone
"Hmph." Ye Feng gritted his teeth. In order to completely control the heavenly lightning, Ye Feng began to use his soul power as well.

Ye Feng did not use his soul power at first, and deliberately showed weakness to the heavenly lightning. Through brief contact, Ye Feng realized that the heavenly lightning seemed to have its own consciousness. If he showed too much strength, the heavenly lightning would definitely not come here rashly.

Tian Lei also sensed the terrifying power of Ye Feng's soul force and struggled to retreat.

Now that Ye Feng had managed to lure it here by feigning weakness, how could he let it leave so easily? He combined his soul power and true essence to form a huge encirclement, trapping the heavenly lightning.

The heavenly lightning within Ye Feng's body was constantly battling against him. Ye Feng was completely focused on dealing with the heavenly lightning, and his energy was entirely concentrated on it. He didn't notice at all that the white-clad woman beside him had already woken up.

Tong Zifeng slowly opened her eyes. During the battle with the Thunder Dragon, Tong Zifeng was struck hard by bolts of lightning, her defenses were shattered, and her body was also injured by the lightning. In the end, Tong Zifeng could not hold on and fainted.

While Tong Zifeng was unconscious, Xuanlong was also seriously injured. Under the attack of the Thunder Dragon, Tong Zifeng was almost in a desperate situation. Before she lost consciousness, Tong Zifeng was almost at the point of despair.

Therefore, when Tong Zifeng opened her eyes, her first reaction was whether she was already dead. Then she sensed something was wrong; her body still had power, and she was in the Southern Wilderness.

"What's going on?" Tong Zifeng murmured in surprise. She felt that the heavenly lightning in her body had completely disappeared. Although the injuries in her body were still there, as long as the power of the heavenly lightning was gone, she would definitely be able to recover after a period of rest.

"Huh!?" Tong Zifeng was surprised to find that there was a boy next to her. What surprised her even more was that there was a large amount of heavenly lightning power surging around in the man's body. Tong Zifeng naturally recognized that this was the heavenly lightning power that had injured her before. How did it appear here? And what was the deal with this man?

"My God, am I seeing things? This person is actually absorbing heavenly lightning!" Tong Zifeng exclaimed in surprise after seeing Ye Feng's situation clearly.

Although the Heavenly Lightning was very powerful, Ye Feng constantly used his power to wear it down and restrain it, ensuring that the Heavenly Lightning could never escape the area under Ye Feng's control.

However, what troubled Ye Feng was that the power of the heavenly lightning was too great. His own power had been almost completely depleted. If this continued, he estimated that he would be unable to absorb the heavenly lightning even if he exhausted his power.

Just then, Ye Feng suddenly felt a disturbance inside the glass ball in his hand. Then, a powerful bolt of heavenly lightning entered Ye Feng's body again. After this bolt of heavenly lightning surged out of the glass ball, the glass ball seemed to have exhausted all its power and could no longer adhere to Ye Feng's palm. In the end, it fell to the ground.

However, Ye Feng couldn't care less about that at the moment. The sudden increase in the heavenly lightning caused Ye Feng, who was already struggling with his true essence, to have a headache. You should know that Ye Feng was already close to his limit.

"Damn it, this is just asking for trouble." Ye Feng was extremely frustrated. If he really died like this, it would be such a waste.

Ye Feng was preparing to unleash the power of gods and demons in a final struggle. In truth, with his true essence nearly depleted and a great deal of heavenly lightning still within his body, even if he unleashed the power of gods and demons, Ye Feng was not confident that he could completely absorb the heavenly lightning.

It should be understood that although the power of gods and demons is strong, its power cannot be sustained. Once the power of gods and demons is activated, if the heavenly lightning cannot be absorbed in a short period of time, Ye Feng will be powerless to resist once the power of gods and demons is exhausted.

"Hmm?" Just as Ye Feng was preparing to fight to the death, he suddenly felt a slight chill on his back. A stream of pure true essence entered his body. This true essence was very pure and abundant, so even though it was an external thing, Ye Feng was still able to absorb and utilize a lot of it.

With no time to think about what was going on, Ye Feng focused his mind again on dealing with the heavenly lightning within his body.

After regaining consciousness, Tong Zifeng saw the situation before her and, after a moment's thought, naturally understood the reason. It was obvious that the man in front of her had saved her and absorbed all the heavenly lightning within her body.

When Tong Zifeng saw that Ye Feng's true essence seemed to be almost exhausted, she took out a small white bottle from her body. The bottle contained a liquid, a spiritual liquid made from silver feather grass, which could instantly restore a lot of the true essence in the human body.

Such spiritual liquid is extremely valuable. The difference between having it and not having it is significant. For example, in a battle where both sides are evenly matched and their true energy is nearly exhausted, having spiritual liquid on hand can instantly turn the tide of the battle. This demonstrates the importance of spiritual liquid.

This spiritual liquid is not only important, but also extremely rare, because the material used to refine it, 'Silver Feather Grass,' is a very rare material. Therefore, even though Tong Zifeng has a very high status, she only has this small bottle of spiritual liquid.

Previously, when Tong Zifeng fought the Thunder Dragon, the difference in strength between them was too great, and whether or not she used the spiritual liquid, she could not change the situation. In the end, Tong Zifeng fainted before she could even use it.

However, this was just the right thing to do for Ye Feng at this moment. This was exactly what Ye Feng needed most right now. Tong Zifeng was not a narrow-minded person. On the contrary, because she had grown up by her master's side since childhood, she was actually very simple-minded. Tong Zifeng only had one thought: Ye Feng had saved her, so it was only natural for her to help Ye Feng.

With the help of the spiritual liquid, Ye Feng finally managed to suppress the heavenly lightning. After controlling the heavenly lightning at his chest, Ye Feng continued to suppress it.

Without a follow-up, the power of the Heavenly Thunder was ultimately unable to contend with Ye Feng and gradually weakened. At this moment, Ye Feng seized the opportunity and used the method of sealing the Strange Fire to seal the Heavenly Thunder in his chest as well.

The rampaging lightning eventually transformed into a purple crystal, which rested on Ye Feng's chest. Upon closer inspection, the purple crystal still flickered with electric light. However, Ye Feng had already controlled the lightning; the faint flickering of electricity on its surface was simply because Ye Feng could not yet fully control the power of the lightning. Once Ye Feng mastered the power of the lightning, this situation would no longer occur.

Ye Feng was overjoyed. He hadn't expected that this trip to the Southern Wilderness would not only allow him to master a strange fire, but also unexpectedly grant him control over heavenly lightning. For Ye Feng, this trip was simply incredibly lucky.

However, this was based on Ye Feng's willingness to take risks. If Ye Feng hadn't dared to approach that mysterious cave, or if he had run away immediately upon seeing the power of the Thunder Dragon without considering causing trouble in the Thunder Dragon's lair, then Ye Feng would not have obtained such an extraordinary opportunity.

Of course, this is also because Ye Feng has enough confidence in his own strength, which is why he dares to venture into these dangerous places. Opportunity is reserved for those who are prepared, and also for those who have courage.

After absorbing the heavenly lightning, Ye Feng slowly opened his eyes. Although the heavenly lightning had caused some internal injuries, these injuries were nothing. With Ye Feng's physique, even if he left it alone, it would recover automatically in no time.

Ye Feng originally wanted to check on the white-clad woman's condition, but unexpectedly, the white-clad woman was standing right next to him, looking at Ye Feng with curiosity.

"Uh, you're awake. Is there something on my face?" Being stared at by such a beautiful woman gave Ye Feng a strange feeling.

"Pfft." Tong Zifeng was amused by Ye Feng. After laughing for a while, she looked at Ye Feng and asked, "Hey, you saved me, right? Who are you and why did you save me?"

Ye Feng felt ashamed. His initial impression of the woman in white was that she was aloof and unapproachable, but he didn't expect her to be so approachable. Especially when she smiled just now, she was so beautiful that she was almost mesmerized. Ye Feng was a little lost in thought for a moment.

"No wonder there's such an adorable and absent-minded black dragon. It seems the master is just like that, so forgetful." Ye Feng thought to himself speechlessly. It was obvious that the woman in front of him, just like the black dragon, had completely forgotten about Ye Feng.

"My name is Ye Feng. We met half a year ago. You rescued my mount back then. It was a wind bird. Do you remember?" The woman in white kept asking Ye Feng about his identity, so Ye Feng had no choice but to patiently answer.

"Oh, so you're the owner of that wind bird." Only then did the woman in white remember that there was indeed a man beside the wind bird that day, but she couldn't remember what he looked like. It seems she was really confused.

Actually, it's not entirely Tong Zifeng's fault. She had only come to the Southern Wilderness on a whim and happened to be passing through. She had simply stumbled upon the situation, and Xuanlong, seeing the Wind Bird injured, couldn't help but rescue it. It was such a small matter that Tong Zifeng hadn't taken it to heart. She just hadn't expected that he would save her again half a year later. Of course, what Tong Zifeng didn't expect was that her casual act that day not only saved the Wind Bird but also Ye Feng, who was trapped in the Taiyi Thirteen Formations.

"By the way, just call me Tong Zifeng," Tong Zifeng said, then looked at Ye Feng a little embarrassedly and said, "But your wind bird flew away on its own after it recovered from its injuries, and I don't know where it went."

"It doesn't matter," Ye Feng said nonchalantly. He had only bought the Wind Bird to travel, and perhaps the Southern Wilderness, where magical beasts constantly appeared, was the best place for the Wind Bird to live.

There may be some dangers here, but compared to being captured and sent to the human world, the monsters would probably prefer to stay in this dog-eat-dog world where monsters survive.

"Hmm." Seeing Ye Feng say this, Tong Zifeng finally felt relieved.

"By the way, how were you able to absorb the power of heavenly lightning? You know, heavenly lightning is extremely unruly and violent. How did you absorb the heavenly lightning inside my body?" Tong Zifeng asked curiously.

"Well, you'll have to ask it. I don't know why, but this thing absorbed all the heavenly lightning within you." Ye Feng pointed to the glass ball he had just picked up from the ground. This glass ball was indeed magical, and Ye Feng couldn't figure it out at all.

"This is... Thunderstone!" Tong Zifeng exclaimed in surprise. "No wonder the Thunder Dragon suddenly left when we were fighting. It was because of you. This Thunderstone is said to be the Thunder Dragon's treasure."

"Uh, that's true." Ye Feng didn't want to explain this, but now that he'd been found out, he had no choice but to admit it.

"Is this thing very powerful?" Ye Feng asked, puzzled. Ye Feng could clearly see that Tong Zifeng knew the function of this thunderstone.

"I'm not too sure about the specifics of the Thunderstone, but it seems to be able to absorb a lot of lightning power, especially heavenly lightning." Tong Zifeng thought for a moment and said, "You know that heavenly lightning is most common during thunderstorms. At this time, most of the lightning power is wasted in the air, but the Thunderstone can absorb and preserve it. I think the Thunder Dragon must be cultivating by absorbing heavenly lightning."

Upon hearing Tong Zifeng's words, Ye Feng immediately understood that this was a valuable item. Of course, if even the Thunder Dragon used it as a treasure, it must be quite good. Ye Feng quickly put it away. Although the lightning power inside was now exhausted, he could keep it so that he could absorb lightning power in the future and evolve the lightning essence within his body.

Thinking that the Thunder Essence within him could still evolve, Ye Feng felt extremely excited.

Tong Zifeng herself is a wind-attribute martial artist, so the power of lightning is of no use to her. Therefore, when Ye Feng obtained the lightning stone, Tong Zifeng only sighed but was not envious.

"You're still injured, aren't you? Why don't you rest and recover first?" Ye Feng said to Tong Zifeng. "I'll go see if there's anything to eat around here."

Although martial artists can go a long time without eating and not starve to death, Ye Feng hadn't eaten for a long time in the secret realm, so he naturally wanted to find something to eat.

"Oh," Tong Zifeng replied, swallowing a pill and then beginning to circulate her qi to heal her internal injuries. Tong Zifeng had been seriously injured in the previous battle, and recovering from her injuries would not be something that could be done in a short time.

As for Xuanlong, although he was also seriously injured, Tong Zifeng was not worried. Xuanlong also had the blood of the dragon race, so even if his body was seriously injured, he could recover quickly. Xuanlong did not need to do anything special, and the speed at which his wounds healed was much faster than Tong Zifeng's.

At this rate, Tong Zifeng and Xuanlong should be able to recover their strength in a few days.

Ye Feng wasn't just looking for something to eat; he also wanted to test just how powerful the Heavenly Lightning he had just acquired really was.

Soon after, Ye Feng encountered a raging demonic bear.

"Good timing. I'll use you to test my Heavenly Thunder." Ye Feng said with a smile. This place is considered relatively safe in the Southern Wilderness. There aren't many high-level magical beasts around, probably because the spiritual energy here is a bit thin. It's not bad to encounter a berserk magical bear.

This berserk demonic bear is a relatively strong bear, at least possessing the strength of a mid-stage Spirit God, and some even surpass that. It is more than enough to be Ye Feng's opponent.

With a flick of his wrist, Ye Feng produced a tiny, needle-shaped bolt of lightning. This was a 'lightning needle' that Ye Feng had compressed within the lightning essence that had materialized within his body.

This Heavenly Thunder Formation may seem ordinary, but don't underestimate it. Ye Feng compressed a lot of Heavenly Thunder power into it. It looks ordinary because Ye Feng used his true essence to suppress it, preventing the power of the lightning from leaking out.

This ensures that the power of the Thunder Needle is not wasted, and also makes the Thunder Needle appear ordinary, which might lull the enemy into a false sense of security during battle.

"Roar."

The raging demonic bear roared and pounced on Ye Feng. Although this raging demonic beast was quite strong, it was clear that it had not developed any intelligence and was completely unaware of the danger. It was just relying on its instinctive rage to try to tear Ye Feng to pieces.

Most of the Berserk Bears are not very intelligent and are usually in a berserk state. Once they start fighting, they act like they don't care about their lives, hence the name.

Ye Feng stood motionless, casually flicking out the Heavenly Thunder Needle in his hand as the raging demonic bear pounced on him.

The lightning needle pierced into the body of the raging demon bear with incredible speed.

The berserk demonic bear, which was pouncing on Ye Feng, suddenly felt a pain in its body. Then, the berserk demonic bear entered a paralyzed state. In this state, the berserk demonic bear could not even roar and was thrown heavily to the ground from the air.

The berserk bear lying on the ground felt its vision blurring. At that moment, lightning began to enter every part of the berserk beast's body. The violent lightning power burned inside the bear, and the bear couldn't even struggle before being electrocuted to death.

Looking at the situation before him, Ye Feng was very satisfied. He hadn't expected the Heavenly Thunder Needle to be so powerful, killing the berserk demonic bear, a mid-stage Spirit God, so easily.

Of course, Ye Feng knew perfectly well that this was because the Heavenly Thunder Needle was used in a very concealed manner, and the Berserk Demon Bear was too careless and did not defend against it. However, this was enough to satisfy Ye Feng. At least the Heavenly Thunder Needle did indeed have the power to kill a mid-stage Spirit God martial artist. Even if it was discovered and blocked, Ye Feng believed that it could still cause enough trouble for the opponent.

Furthermore, if used undetected, this Heavenly Thunder Needle is practically a deadly weapon for surprise attacks. Especially when it's being used suddenly while the opponent is locked in a fierce battle, it could very well change the course of the battle in one strike, Ye Feng thought wickedly.

After dismembering the bear's carcass and cutting off its claws, Ye Feng quickly prepared a delicious roasted bear claw feast with the help of the system.
