High Martial Arts: Becoming a Liver Master

After comprehending the Law of Lightning, Chen Mo immediately added points to his cultivation, bringing his understanding of the Law of Lightning to a minor level of mastery.

The laws of lightning and the laws of destruction are both contained within the lightning tribulation; they are intertwined and inseparable.

Now that Chen Mo has grasped these two principles, he can use them either together or separately.

Using one of the laws individually will halve its power, but using them together will double its power.

After adding points and reaching the minor mastery level of both laws, Chen Mo understood the power of both laws.

At the same time, I was also very fortunate that I had used a lightning rod to guide the lightning to the ground during the last lightning tribulation, and with the help of the lightning-attracting array, the ninth lightning tribulation was weakened by more than half.

Otherwise, he would have been reduced to ashes under the final lightning tribulation.

There was no way to escape, because the moment the lightning tribulation struck, the law of destruction took effect. Even if you used teleportation, the law of destruction had already taken effect on you, and you couldn't dodge it.

Moreover, one cannot know the power of a lightning tribulation without personally experiencing it.

Chen Mo let out a heavy sigh of relief, his heart filled with emotion.

"We were really lucky this time. The lightning tribulation was not to be underestimated. We can't take such risks again in the future."

Chen Mo reminded himself.

Looking back now, Chen Mo felt a chill of fear. If he hadn't been lucky enough to think of the effects of lightning-avoiding formations and lightning rods, he wouldn't know how to deal with the lightning tribulation.

Of course, the reason for the heavenly tribulation was mainly because he had refined his natal artifact, and it was a high-grade artifact at that, such a monstrous thing.

Heaven would not allow such a powerful weapon to exist.

Deep down, Chen Mo felt that if he were to forge another high-grade divine artifact like the Human Emperor's Banner, the power of the lightning tribulation would double, or rather, he would absolutely not allow a second such divine artifact to appear.

Chen Mo was somewhat confused as to why he had this feeling, but he decided he would never take the risk again.

This is no child's play; it concerns his life.

Perhaps the natural order here is such that it cannot withstand such powerful rules!

Chen Mo secretly guessed.

Previously, Li Hongchang had stated that the existence of martial gods was not allowed in China, and any martial god appearing in the country would inevitably have their strength suppressed.

The divine artifact is comparable in strength to the God of War, so naturally, such a powerful force cannot be allowed to exist.

"Forget it, forget it. That's just how the rules are. I'll just have to follow them. Once I'm strong enough, I won't have to follow these rules anymore!"

Chen Mo shook his head, no longer questioning why the Heavenly Dao was doing this.

However, he guessed part of the reason; it was very likely that the God of War was too powerful, and once he made a move, it would be devastating.

If the Martial Gods were to fight within the country, or rather, within the territory of this world, the battle would inevitably cause mountains to collapse and the earth to shatter.

The Way of Heaven is too weak to quickly restore the damaged environment and space.

Moreover, the merging of another world has indirectly weakened the power of the Heavenly Dao.

This was merely Chen Mo's guess; he did not know the actual reason.

It's also possible that it's not due to the will of Heaven, but rather that some unknown entity is doing this intentionally.

Otherwise, how could the phenomenon of ferocious beasts invading occur?

Chen Mo stopped thinking about it and immediately sat up. He used his mental energy to scan the surroundings and found that it was 100% safe, but he still changed to another place.

Four kilometers away, in a remote, desolate mountain, more than 1000 meters underground, Chen Mo used the laws of space to dig a square cave that could accommodate a side length of two meters.

After setting up some protective formations and spatial barriers, he sat cross-legged and circulated his internal energy to recover from his injuries.

He wanted to go further away, but his injuries hadn't healed, so this was the only place he could find.

Time flew by during the healing process, and three days passed in the blink of an eye.

During his recovery, no powerful figures disturbed Chen Mo, allowing him to focus entirely on healing.

The moment his injuries were fully healed, Chen Mo immediately opened his eyes and stood up.

With a thought, the Law Domain unfolded, drawing upon the surrounding Water Law to give his body a bath, cleanse it, and change into clean clothes.

A short while later, a strikingly handsome young man appeared in the cave.

This person was none other than Chen Mo.

A satisfied smile appeared on his lips:

"Absorbing the lightning from my body and the Emperor's Banner actually allowed me to advance a minor realm!"

The next moment, Chen Mo suddenly realized that most of the energy of the lightning tribulation had been drawn underground, and he felt heartbroken.

"Most of the lightning is gone. If I had absorbed it all, I could have advanced at least three minor realms. What a pity."

He then shook his head, and the regretful expression immediately disappeared.

"At that time, I hadn't yet grasped the Laws of Lightning and Destruction; absorbing that kind of energy would have been tantamount to suicide."

"Reaching a higher level is a good thing!"

Improving his cultivation level is quite simple for Chen Mo; he can simply go to the borderlands and kill ferocious beasts.

With a flick of his wrist, the Emperor's Banner appeared in Chen Mo's palm.

The flag, no bigger than a palm, had a pitted and uneven surface on the flagpole, and the flag itself was riddled with small holes. The gold wire along the four sides was broken into several pieces. To make matters worse, one-third of the flag was missing from the tail, and a corner was missing from the upper left.

The divine script was dim, and the surface was dark and dull.

The lightning that was originally wrapped around the surface of the Emperor's Banner has been absorbed by Chen Mo, and now the Emperor's Banner is very tattered and dull.

"Little Emperor! How are you feeling now? Have you been feeling any better these past few days?"

While communicating with Xiao Huang using his mental power, Chen Mo checked the condition of the Human Emperor Flag.

"Master, I'm much better now. After the residual lightning on my body is absorbed, I'll be able to recover slowly."

Xiao Huang immediately responded excitedly to Chen Mo, his voice no longer weak as before.

At this time, Chen Mo also finished checking the condition of the Emperor's Flag.

Half of the space inside the Emperor's Banner was gone. Half of the criminals trapped inside were killed by lightning and have been reduced to ashes, leaving not even their souls behind.

As for those wronged souls, before they underwent the tribulation of lightning, Chen Mo had already taken them into his dantian small world, set up a barrier using spatial laws, and used many insulating formations to help them escape this calamity.

But the criminals weren't so lucky. These criminals had committed many evils, so it was understandable that they were struck by lightning.

It was precisely because of these criminals that Chen Mo and the Emperor's Flag were able to successfully survive this lightning strike.

Each time a criminal is killed, a sliver of merit is returned, allowing Chen Mo and the original imperial flag to recover.

During the final tribulation, most of the criminals were used to resist the tribulation, weakening it and also contributing a lot of merit, allowing Chen Mo to survive this tribulation.

The merit of the criminals giving back is intangible and intangible, yet Chen Mo sensed it, or at least vaguely sensed that something was helping him.

It is invisible and intangible, yet it certainly exists.

Chen Mo didn't know if it was merit or not, but he felt that what could help him must be merit.
