Finding the Nether Demon Heart Lightning within this boundless sea of lightning was no easy task. After all, the influence of endless Demonic Earth Lightning filled this place, even isolating spiritual perception. Searching for it could only rely on luck.
No wonder Qin Tiangang had occupied Lightning Demon Mountain for countless years and still failed to refine even a single Demon Heart Lightning Lotus.
"We cannot continue searching blindly like this. The Demonic Lightning Abyss connects directly to the earth's core. The deeper we go, the stronger the lightning power becomes. At that point, even I would not be able to withstand it." Jiu You glanced at the lightning permeating the surroundings and said in a deep voice.
Liu Bai frowned. The Nether Demon Heart Lightning existed on the same level as the Undying Flame. Finding it was naturally no simple matter.
Moreover, he had not cultivated any lightning controlling art, so it was impossible to rely on himself to sense it.
However, Liu Bai firmly believed in one principle. Since he could not actively find it, he might as well let it come to him on its own.
"I have a method, but you need to be careful. We do not know what kind of thing it will draw out, so you will need to help block it for me."
Jiu You gave a slight nod to indicate she understood.
Liu Bai then took a deep breath and spread both palms flat. Before long, five colored lightning appeared within his palms.
Five Elements Divine Thunder Origin Power.
The moment it appeared, the Demonic Earth Lightning drifting around the two of them seemed to sense a threat and immediately retreated. At this moment, Liu Bai was like a king of lightning, his might spreading across the sea, none daring to disobey.
At the same time, Liu Bai and Jiu You both sensed that deep in a certain direction, an eerie aura filled with anger suddenly surged upward.
Like an enraged beast provoked by a challenge, a thunderous roar resembling ghostly wails abruptly echoed within their hearts. Liu Bai's body trembled, his face turning pale as the Five Elements Divine Thunder Origin Power in his hands nearly collapsed.
Jiu You, relying on her higher cultivation, was not greatly affected. She quickly placed a palm on Liu Bai's back, sending a scorching aura into his body and swiftly expelling that strange power.
"Nether Demon Heart Lightning."
At that moment, the same name surfaced in both of their minds.
"Only the Nether Demon Heart Lightning could possess such bizarre abilities." A trace of joy appeared on Jiu You's face.
"I did not expect you to have such a trick. Still, it really is quite daring."
Liu Bai's method was essentially provoking something on its own territory. Fortunately, both of them possessed Undying Flame capable of contending against it. Otherwise, that single strike alone would have been enough to take their lives.
"Is this not the simplest method?" Liu Bai said with a light smile.
He then took a deep breath and looked toward the direction from which that strange attack had come.
"Let us go. Now that we have found the location, we should see just how strong this Nether Demon Heart Lightning truly is."
"Alright." Jiu You nodded.
Among the many types of heavenly and earthly lightning, the Nether Demon Heart Lightning was one of the most bizarre. Its power was not fierce and violent like other lightning types, and its method of attack did not rely on lightning itself, but on thunder sound.
As its name suggested, this lightning was born from the heart, manifesting directly within the depths of one's mind. This ability allowed it to ignore defenses entirely. Unless one possessed an equal level of opposing attribute power, the thunder sound alone could stir distracting thoughts, give rise to inner demons, and in severe cases cause one to lose control of their own spiritual energy, ultimately leading to death by backlash.
"You are somewhat special, capable of cultivating multiple attributes. If you truly obtain the Nether Demon Heart Lightning and integrate it into your spiritual energy, then your attacks will also be able to ignore defenses. With Undying Flame in one hand and Nether Demon Heart Lightning in the other, you would be invincible among those of the same level, and fighting across realms would be effortless." Jiu You suggested.
"Uh, actually, I can already do all of that right now."
Jiu You fell silent.
Seeing Jiu You glaring at him rather viciously, Liu Bai grinned and rolled his eyes, then said, "By the way, that Nether Demon Heart Lightning is so dangerous that approaching it will certainly be risky. You must protect me well."
Jiu You shot him a sideways glance, immediately seeing through his ill intentions, yet she still extended her jade hand.
Liu Bai let out a mischievous laugh, but instead of taking her hand, he flashed forward and hugged her directly, leaving her staring in shock.
Jiu You was stunned.
In an instant, Liu Bai felt a soft and fragrant body fill his arms, a sensation so addictive that he was reluctant to let go.
"Let go." Jiu You's delicate face had already turned crimson, especially when she sensed someone greedily inhaling twice. The warm breath he exhaled seeped through her clothes and brushed against her body, making her shiver.
In that instant, Jiu You felt her fists clench tightly.
She gritted her silver teeth, forcing each word out between them.
"Say that again and I will smash you."
"Ahem, alright, alright. I will not dare again." Liu Bai wisely surrendered. Although he loosened his arms, he still did not release the delicate body in his embrace.
Sensing that they were no longer pressed so tightly together, Jiu You finally let out a long sigh of relief.
Although she often teased Liu Bai, she truly dared not engage in such intimate contact. After all, she was nothing more than someone strong in words.
Seeing that the person in his arms no longer struggled, Liu Bai did not push his luck further. With a light tap of his foot, the two continued deeper inside. Along the way, Jiu You maintained a thin curtain of flame around them. Whenever the thunder sound of the Nether Heart Heart Demon Lightning struck, she would immediately help Liu Bai stabilize his mind and spiritual energy.
They flew for most of the day until they reached a pitch black space resembling a vacuum. This place was surrounded by enormous Demonic Earth Lightning that resembled raging dragons. These bolts were several times stronger than those outside, yet they did not dare approach this vacuum zone at all.
The two exchanged a glance, both knowing they had found the right place.
Without hesitation, purple flames appeared around both of them. They then stepped forward simultaneously, directly entering the vacuum region.
Boom.
The moment Liu Bai stepped inside, he felt thunder resound once more within his heart. The purple flames around his body fluctuated violently, and a ferocious expression appeared on his face before he finally recovered.
"Phew. This Nether Demon Heart Lightning is truly bizarre and impossible to guard against." Liu Bai frowned.
However, this was even better. Once he obtained this lightning, he would be able to unleash even greater power.
Jiu You regained her clarity earlier than Liu Bai, but she did not intervene. Instead, she wanted to see whether Liu Bai could withstand the thunder sound on his own. They were not merely passing through. They intended to subdue the Nether Demon Heart Lightning. If he could not even endure this, then there was no need to proceed further, as entering would not grant them what they sought.
With each step forward, thunder sound echoed again, and Liu Bai advanced step by step.
At first, he needed time between each step to recover. However, after more than five hundred steps, his speed suddenly increased, as though the influence of the thunder sound on him was weakening.
This was naturally impossible. As they drew closer, the thunder sound should only grow stronger, never weaker.
The reason Liu Bai's speed increased was because his body had gradually begun to adapt to the attacks of the Demon Heart Lightning.
One must not forget that Liu Bai possessed more than just Undying Flame within his body. The Five Elements Divine Thunder Origin Power that had previously provoked the Nether Demon Heart Lightning was also extremely powerful. Being lightning itself, it allowed Liu Bai to rapidly cleanse the invading Demon Heart Lightning while gradually absorbing and utilizing it.
In other words, during this process, Liu Bai's tolerance toward the Nether Demon Heart Lightning was steadily increasing.
This discovery delighted Liu Bai. It meant that the upcoming subjugation process would involve much less suffering.
When they reached one thousand steps, Liu Bai and Jiu You halted simultaneously and looked ahead into the seemingly empty darkness.
"The Nether Demon Heart Lightning is formless and intangible. Although it cannot be seen, I can sense that a special energy exists directly in front of us." Liu Bai suddenly spoke.
Jiu You nodded. At this moment, the purple light in her eyes grew even more radiant, and faint flames could be seen burning within her pupils.
"Your perception is correct. The Nether Demon Heart Lightning is indeed right in front of you."
"Mobilize the energy within your body and look carefully."
Liu Bai nodded lightly and took a deep breath. Immediately afterward, the Five Elements Divine Thunder Origin Power surged directly into his pupils.
Countless flashes of lightning flickered within Liu Bai's eyes. Then he saw it. Right in front of him, an invisible giant python nearly a thousand zhang long was coiled in place. Its gloomy snake pupils, devoid of any emotion, stared coldly at him.
The scene was rather terrifying. If Liu Bai had not been mentally prepared, he would definitely have been startled.
However, his main focus was not on this serpent shaped Nether Demon Heart Lightning, but on whether there was the broken stone stele mentioned in the original work on its body.
Liu Bai followed the python's massive body with his gaze and sure enough, at the central section, he saw a faintly visible broken stone stele.
Joy surged in his heart, but Liu Bai kept his expression unchanged and then spoke aloud, "Eh, look. What is that?"
It had to be said that Liu Bai had done things like this countless times already, so there was no trace of flaw at all.
Hearing this, Jiu You also focused her gaze. She saw light surging on the broken stone stele, and ancient characters gradually emerging upon it.
"It seems to be the Supreme Demon Heart Scripture?"
After carefully discerning for a moment, Jiu You's beautiful eyes suddenly tightened as she murmured in shock.
"Supreme Demon Heart Scripture. What kind of thing is that?" Liu Bai frowned slightly and asked.
"In the ancient era, there was once an extremely ferocious super demon known as the Demon Heart Lighting Emperor. Back then, he rampaged across the Great Thousand World, his fame shaking all realms. The Supreme Demon Heart Scripture was his signature divine ability.
Later, during that great calamity of the Great Thousand World, countless experts of the Feind Clans perished at his hands. However, he himself also disappeared during that catastrophe. I never expected that today we would see the Supreme Demon Heart Scripture here."
Jiu You then showed a look of realization and said, "No wonder this place has Nether Demon Heart Lightning. So it is related to that Demon Heart Lightning Emperor. Back then, the Nether Demon Heart Lightning was also one of his signature methods."
Liu Bai glanced around and discovered that aside from this serpent shaped Nether Demon Heart Lightning and the broken stone stele, there was nothing else here.
"This place does not seem like the location where the Demon Heart Lighting Emperor fell."
Jiu You shook her head and said, "That is unknown."
"Thinking about it is useless. Let us deal with this Nether Demon Heart Lightning Python first."
Liu Bai nodded, then looked at the invisible giant python in front of him and pondered for a moment before saying, "This thing is extremely powerful, and the omnipresent thunder sound is very bizarre. It will not be easy to disperse it, so I plan to seal it instead."
"Seal it? You also possess sealing power?" Jiu You looked at Liu Bai in astonishment.
The two had been together for such a long time, yet Jiu You had no idea that Liu Bai still had such a method.
Liu Bai smiled slightly and did not hide anything. "You know that I cultivate the power of the Five Elements, and the Five Elements inherently possess extremely strong sealing abilities. Did you forget what I told you about my experiences when I obtained these inheritances? That senior Five Emperor Divine Sovereign could even seal the demonic soul of a Heavenly Demon Emperor."
Only then did Jiu You react, though she was still curious and asked, "Can you already wield the Five Elements sealing power now? How strong is it? With your current Third Grade Sovereign cultivation, can you seal this Nether Demon Heart Lightning Python?"
"Relying on my own power alone is naturally not enough, but I have a trump card." Liu Bai gave a mysterious smile. "Later, you protect me. Although this lightning python has no intelligence, there is no guarantee it will not attack once it senses danger. My power also requires some time to prepare."
Since even the curse on Mandala could be sealed, Liu Bai did not believe that the trace of Five Elements sealing power he could draw from the Immortal True Form Diagram would fail to seal a mere lightning python without intelligence.
Of course, the preparation would take some time, so he needed Jiu You to guard him.
"Alright. Leave it to me."
As she spoke, a blazing purple flame suddenly rose from Jiu You's body. Within the flames, she rapidly completed her transformation.
A pair of elegant and massive black wings extended from Jiu You's back. Then she clenched her jade hand, and feathers manifested within her grasp, finally forming a slender feathered long spear. Purple flames surged along the spear as well.
Jiu You's sudden change immediately drew the attention of the lightning python. The massive snake head that had been staring at Liu Bai slowly turned toward Jiu You, as if it had sensed her threat.
This scene left Liu Bai rather speechless. He had not even started yet, and she had already caused such a huge commotion.
Fortunately, this thing was unlike the lightning spirit deep within the Thunder Domain of the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy. It could not distinguish danger clearly and could only instinctively sense energy and hostility.
Although Jiu You released spiritual energy that made it wary, she did not display hostility. As a result, the giant python merely shifted its attention to Jiu You and did not launch an immediate attack.
