Chapter 146: Trial of Lightning Sword God Part 3
"Enough about that, it's time for your second test!"
Mu Rong snapped her finger, and the room expanded several times. Soon, a yellow light emerged that covered the entire room.
When this light disappeared, a large pattern appeared on the ground. The pattern was circular with four quarters.
Each quarter was divided into thirty-two squares, and each square had a yellow dot in the middle.
"This is Random Sword Array. Every dot in this circle has a different sword. This trial is not about strength but your opportunity and luck."
"In the first trial, you adapt, you survive because most people aren't immune to lightning. In that trial alone, ninety percent of the participants died."
"In this trial, however, there is no death rate. Either you pass or fail. But you have to understand. Out of twenty thousand participants, only twenty have ever passed this trial."
"Of course, that's also because less than two hundred people were able to pass the first Trial. So, choose your dot wisely."
Mu Rong said, then she disappeared.
Tyler was now stuck. In the middle of the circle, from where he could walk towards any of the dots.
Every square was the size of his feet. So, if he stepped on them, it would mean he chose them.
So, he had to be extra careful with his choice.
'If I decide to rely on my luck, it might fail. So, I should try something at least before using my luck."
He decided to calmly assess the situation. His spiritual sense was trying to figure out the danger and opportunity within the circle.
But all it got was blank. He found nothing in his spiritual sense. If he hadn't seen the glowing yellow dots, he wouldn't have found this circle at all.
'How is this done? This certainly has spiritual energy. It must have some kind of energy.'
'Wait a minute! Some kind of energy. It doesn't have to be spiritual energy. My spiritual sense can detect any energies that have similarities with spiritual energy.'
'But it needs to be at the level of spiritual energy. If not, it can't detect it. I have experienced it with my mom in the simulator.'
'In other words, what if this doesn't utilize spiritual energy but instead uses immortal energy. That would explain the problem with my spiritual energy.'
'Hmm! I might have a solution for this.'
'Let's see!'
Tyler closed his eyes for a moment and activated his 3D. The moment he activated his bloodline, the Chaotic Force burst out of his body.
But instead of regular Chaotic Force, it contained an extreme devouring power. This was so extreme that the moment he used it, the ground started shaking.
The energy leaking out of the ground started gathering around his body. The Chaotic Force started absorbing the energy.
When it did, Tyler felt a powerful energy passing through his veins.
Though he wasn't sure what exactly he should do with it, he decided to use this moment to improve his strength.
With the Tyrant Lightning Body Technique complete, he had to choose another technique to utilize this energy.
And, the moment later, he realized what he should use.
[Lightning Emperor Scripture]
It was a collection of techniques, secret arts, martial arts, and even Dao Arts, something inaccessible to him.
Inside Lightning Emperor Scripture, there was a body cultivation technique.
A powerful technique that could easily suppress something like the Tyrant Lightning Body Technique.
It was an Immortal Technique known as 'Thunder Forging Star Body Technique'.
This technique could merge the star energy with lightning energy to create a body that could rival the celestial bodies like planets and stars.
Just practicing the first stage of this technique would make one strong enough to destroy a large continent.
That was written in the scripture, but he hadn't confirmed it. So, he decided to train it.
Thankfully, it was easy for him to start since he had memorized this technique. He had memorized every other technique, but he hadn't started with any of them.
Except Sword Scripture. He had begun to comprehend it. He even used it to master the Sword Intent.
The idea of creating his own martial art called 'Lightning Sword Arts' came from the Sword Scripture.
Now, this was his second scripture, and he was ready for it.
With the immortal energy coursing through his body, he completely chose to ignore the test and started cultivating his body.
First, the energy absorbed by the user would be transformed into lightning energy and star energy.
When both energies were produced in a certain amount, they would collide together hundreds of times inside his Dantian.
After hundreds of collisions, a new energy would be produced.
When this technique was created, the Lightning Emperor observed the collision of his lightning energy with an opponent who used star energy.
Their collision would create a tremendous force that could shatter the continent and shake the very planet they stood upon.
But what intrigued him was a small spark of energy produced during each collision.
This was just a spark, but it was filled with life energy while being encased with destructive force.
He was so curious about this energy that he learned to produce Star Energy, tried recreating the collision, and successfully reproduced that same energy.
When it was produced, he realized that the destructive force of that energy would destroy his body.
Even someone at his level wasn't able to defend against such force without using his trump card.
But what happened next stunned him.
The life energy contained with destructive force would heal his body, and the healed cells would be at least twice as strong.
When this cycle was continued almost a thousand times, it would forge a body capable of withstanding the force he and his opponent created during their battle.
When they fought for the second time, he was easily able to overwhelm his enemy, so much so that his enemy couldn't even damage his body.
But he also realized one big problem. To practice just the first stage, he had almost depleted five Energy Mines.
The spiritual energy inside the five Energy Mines was more than enough to keep a stable spiritual energy flow for almost five hundred years.
And, he finished it within just a few days. This made him realize just how difficult it was.
But he didn't give up. He created the second and third stages, but then, he had depleted the energy of the entire planet.
He had to relocate everyone on that planet to a completely different planet. This planet was quite extraordinary, as there were a lot of people with strength similar to his.
He also realized that there was another world above his, and this planet was the closest to that world.
Unfortunately, he could no longer practice it to the next level, as it would literally drain out that planet and even the solar system.
So, he gave up and decided to simply put the idea of the fourth and fifth stages in the scripture.
In other words, only the first three stages were achieved, and the last two stages were just theoretical stages.
It was also because of this, he was able to create a bloodline that could literally rival those who came from the Immortal World.
And, so he named it Nine Heavens Lightning Bloodline.
When Tyler read this for the first time, he was stunned. He knew Lightning Emperor created that bloodline, but he didn't know it was created due to this technique.
Because of its consumption, he never thought of practicing it. Even the spiritual energy in his Spiritual Seal wouldn't be enough to finish the first stage.
But this time, it was different. What he had absorbed wasn't spiritual energy. It was immortal energy.
Immortal Energy was several times better than spiritual energy. So, it was also the perfect energy needed to practice the first stage of this technique.
Maybe even the second stage.
With that thought in mind, he started consuming the immortal energy to produce the lightning energy and star energy in his body.
Just as it was written in the scripture, he pulled both energies into the Dantian and started colliding them.
But soon, he realized something was amiss.
He wasn't able to produce enough pressure in the collision. The collision was too weak to produce that energy.
But then, an idea came to his mind.
What if he put these two energies inside his 3D bloodline source and collided them?
After all, his bloodline had more than enough force and power to recreate the collision of that level.
He was just afraid that it would affect his bloodline.
So, he decided to ask his bloodline. After asking it and getting positive answers, he immediately sent both energies into the bloodline and said.
'3D, do your best!'
The bloodline excitedly shook inside his Dantian.
Suddenly, a powerful burst of energy emerged from it, but the bloodline had such a powerful devouring force that it made sure energy couldn't disturb the Dantian Walls.
But even so, Tyler felt shockwaves after shockwaves within his Dantian.
If he had forcefully tried to use a similar method inside his Dantian, it would've exploded.
He just dodged death.
