Chapter 394: Chapter 369: Spirit Black Thunder

After a round of assessment, Li Cunxu discovered twenty-four types of exotic lightning. They looked impressive, but most of their quality was not very high.

The high-quality exotic lightnings were only four: Overlord Body Colored Thunder, Swift Purple Thunder, Black and White Killing Thunder, and Life Green Thunder.

Looking at this pile of exotic lightning, Li Cunxu was troubled.

He wasn’t specialized in lightning attribute pet beasts; should he specifically contract a lightning attribute pet beast?

It seemed not worthwhile.

Using these exotic lightnings to train a lightning attribute pet beast, no matter how strong it becomes, wouldn’t surpass the Thunder-Loving Demon Bird.

“If only the Thunder-Loving Demon Bird could produce another pet beast egg,” he thought.

Li Cunxu knew it was impossible.

From the exceptionally fierce and obviously targeted Thunder Tribulation earlier, it was clear that Li Cunxu’s speculation was correct—the Thunder-Loving Demon Bird had mutated from a Thunder Bird.

The Thunder-Loving Demon Bird wanted to reproduce and needed to pair with a female Thunder Bird, but this creature would eat any Thunder Bird it saw, leaving no chance for reproducing a pet beast egg.

After thinking for a moment, Li Cunxu decided not to contract a new lightning attribute pet beast and to process it internally.

Li Cunxu took the Overlord Body Colored Thunder for himself to comprehend the Overlord Body skill, which he intended to take away.

Xiaoruan, having a lightning attribute, took the Swift Purple Thunder; this exotic lightning has a speed-enhancing effect, perfect for compensating for Xiaoruan’s lack of speed.

Chi Xiaoxiong, also possessing a lightning attribute, took the Black and White Killing Thunder; this thunder has light and dark attributes, and the conflicting attributes make this exotic lightning extremely powerful, filling Chi Xiaoxiong’s attack power gap.

The Blood Lotus Flame Flood Dragon received the Life Green Thunder along with the remaining twenty types of exotic lightning.

Although the Blood Lotus Flame Flood Dragon doesn’t have a lightning attribute, it doesn’t mean it can’t refine exotic lightning. However, without a lightning attribute, refining exotic lightning is more difficult and time-consuming.

Refining twenty-one types of exotic lightning by the Blood Lotus Flame Flood Dragon would take forever.

Therefore, Li Cunxu instructed the Blood Lotus Flame Flood Dragon to only refine the Life Green Thunder, using the remaining exotic lightnings only for body refinement.

The drop of Water of Creation they acquired was distributed to Xiaoruan by Li Cunxu.

Xiaoruan, being the strongest in the team, would benefit the group the most by growing stronger.

Upon consuming the Water of Creation, because of its abundant Power of Creation, Xiaoruan fell into a slumber.

The more difficult the tribulation, the more Power of Creation contained in the Water of Creation, and the Thunder Tribulation of the Thunder-Loving Demon Bird happened to be exceptionally strong.

After reviewing this windfall operation, Li Cunxu couldn’t help but express his satisfaction.

“What a huge harvest!”

Li Cunxu had gained a lot; just among the laws, he collected three.

The Mechanical Law of the Mechanical Thunder Dragon—Electric Energy.

The Thunder Law of Lei Xieming—Sustained.

The Thunder Law of the Thunder-Loving Demon Bird—Thunder Devour.

The Mechanical Law could be left for the Mechanical Pupil to comprehend; the two Thunder Laws, Li Cunxu planned to trade for laws his pet beasts needed.

Among them, the Thunder Law—Thunder Devour, was a supreme law and could surely be traded for laws of time and fate.

Li Cunxu put on the Thunder Refining Pearl, which prevents exotic lightning from backfiring, and then started refining the Overlord Body Colored Thunder.

The Overlord Body Colored Thunder was a relatively easy exotic lightning to refine, and with the acceleration provided by the Thunder Refining Pearl, it only took three days for Li Cunxu to refine it completely.

With the help of the Overlord Body Colored Thunder, he also comprehended his Overlord Body skill.

Mental Black Thunder.

The Mental Black Thunder attacks the enemy’s spirit, inflicting damage to it while blinding all the enemy’s sensory abilities.

When used to attack the enemy, the damage wasn’t particularly high and was less than some spirit skills. However, when used to assist in pet beast combat, it was very useful, instantly rendering the opponent blind.

Looking at Xiaoruan, it was still asleep.

After seven days, Xiaoruan woke up.

Xiaoruan’s strength increased another level, and its actual combat capabilities were not weaker than a typical King Level 1 beast with laws.

Moreover, it had also comprehended a unique skill.

Slime Transformation Technique.

It could forcibly transform the enemy into a Slime, weakening their combat power to a certain extent.

The skill’s drawback: People affected by the Slime Transformation Technique gain resistance after being hit once, and those affected once cannot be turned into a Slime again within a month.

“Time to head back,” Li Cunxu said.

Li Cunxu returned to Mechanical City, preparing to use the teleportation array to return to Tongdu.

As soon as he got close to Tongdu, Li Cunxu saw smoke filling the sky.

Li Cunxu asked the escaping people, “What happened?”

No one answered, only urging him to run.

An elderly woman pulled Li Cunxu and said.

“Young man, don’t ask why, your life is in danger, run outside the city.”

“Auntie, you go ahead; I can protect myself.”

Boom~

A drill-head mech burst through the asphalt road with its spinning drill, heading toward a mother and her child.

Li Cunxu tested the Mental Black Thunder, and with a mere glance, the thunder struck its machine spirit, instantly dispersing the soul of the Gold-level drill-head mech.

Upon closer inspection, Li Cunxu understood why the drill-head mech was attacking people.

This drill-head mech had been contaminated by the Crowned Evil God, turning into an Evil Mechanical Beast.

Evil Mechanical Beasts are kin of the Crowned Evil God and harvest the souls of all living things for their deity.

The Crowned Evil God can harness the souls, converting them into machine spirit power tainted by the Evil God, transforming ordinary mechanical equipment into Evil Mechanical Beasts.

No sooner had he dealt with the drill-head mech than a group of Evil Mechanical Beast Metal Wolf Claw Beasts rushed out from a crossroads, chasing the escaping crowd.

Li Cunxu looked over, and one by one, the Mental Black Thunder struck down, extinguishing the machine spirits of the Metal Wolf Claw Beasts.

“Tongdu TV, I am intern reporter Wang Mengmeng, as you can see behind me, Mechanical City is currently under an incredibly terrifying attack launched by the Evil God Sect.”

Li Cunxu turned his head and saw a female reporter broadcasting live via a flying camera robot.

Li Cunxu couldn’t help but admire her bravery; she was only Silver rank, yet wore just a treasure pearl that only worked for Gold-level pet beasts in such a situation.

Li Cunxu walked over.

“Do you know what’s happening here? Why are there so many Evil Mechanical Beasts?”

Just as they were speaking, a flock of flying Evil Mechanical Beast X6 Drones arrived from the sky, and a sweep of the Mental Black Thunder brought them all crashing down.

“For some unknown reason, the underground city in Mechanical City was unsealed suddenly, releasing a large number of Evil Mechanical Beasts. Ah, you’re Li Cunxu, what are you doing here?”

Wang Mengmeng finally recognized Li Cunxu and exclaimed in surprise.

Determined to become the best journalist, she remembered all the public figures of Tongdu.

Boom~ Boom~ Boom~

Several mechanical octopus tentacles, each over a dozen meters long, pierced through the asphalt pavement, blocking the path of fleeing people.

Seeing this, Li Cunxu immediately acted.

Wang Mengmeng, wearing her analytical glasses, hurriedly tried to pull Li Cunxu back: “That’s an Overlord-level Evil Mechanical Beast, the Mechanical Multi-armed Octopus, you can’t defeat it.”
