System, extract the Thunder Wings!"
With a thought, Ye Chen's command echoed silently in his mind.
In the next instant, a pair of massive silver wings...each several meters wide and brimming with an overwhelming aura of lightning...appeared before him, pulsing with destructive power.
Although the Thunder Wings were a Heaven-Tier Dou Technique, they weren't something one cultivated through training. They had to be fused directly into the body.
Once merged, Ye Chen would be able to soar freely through the skies.
Without hesitation, he gave his next command.
"System, fuse the Thunder Wings!"
As his words fell, the wings trembled violently.
A blinding flash erupted.....then they transformed into streaks of silver light and burrowed straight into his body.
Instantly, a torrent of savage energy exploded inside him.
The violent current surged through every inch of his flesh and bone.
Pain like he had never felt before tore through his body, spreading from his limbs to the depths of his soul.
"Ah—!"
Ye Chen let out a guttural cry as tendrils of white mist rose from his skin.
Blue veins bulged beneath the surface as his muscles trembled uncontrollably.
The force of the thunderstorm within him raged like a wild river, crashing through his meridians and threatening to tear him apart.
Even with his Dragon Elephant Physique, the agony was unbearable.
If a mere Da Dou Shi attempted such a fusion, their body would have exploded on the spot.
As the unbearable pain coursed through him, Ye Chen's consciousness began to blur.
Darkness threatened to swallow him whole.
"No… I can't pass out!"
His fingers clenched into fists, nails digging into his palms.
Sweat poured from his forehead as every nerve screamed in torment.
The pain was soul-deep.....yet beneath it, a strange transformation began.
His body was changing.
Thump... thump...
His heartbeat echoed in his mind, drowning out all sound. Every pulse carried lightning, every beat reforging him anew.
Gradually, Ye Chen steadied his mind, letting the agony temper him like a blade in the forge.
The cavern glowed with bursts of silver light as tendrils of lightning seeped through his flesh, tempering bone, blood, and meridians alike.
His skin twitched and rippled under the violent surges of energy, veins bulging like coiled dragons.
Each spasm released a wave of pressure, shaking the air around him.
And within that torment, his cultivation surged uncontrollably.....
from Nine-Star Da Dou Shi… straight through the barrier—
"One-Star Dou Ling!"
"Two-Star Dou Ling!"
"Three-Star Dou Ling!"
"Four-Star Dou Ling!"
The rapid ascent finally slowed at Four-Star Dou Ling.
As the last wave of thunder dissolved into his flesh, the pain vanished, replaced by a deep, almost euphoric strength.
Ye Chen exhaled sharply, his lips curving into a fierce grin.
"So this is the power of thunder's baptism…"
Not only had he successfully fused the Thunder Wings, but the lightning's tempering had directly pushed his cultivation into the Dou Ling Realm.....and beyond.
He gathered his Dou Qi, focusing it into his palm. In an instant, dazzling silver energy condensed, forming a long spear over three meters in length....crafted entirely of pure Dou Qi.
"Condensing Dou Qi into form…"
Ye Chen admired the weapon with satisfaction.
At this stage, Dou Qi could manifest physically, forming weapons or armor far more solid than anything a Da Dou Shi could create.
His combat potential had grown immensely.
Then, he turned his attention to his shoulders.
Two faint silver runes glimmered upon his back....mystic seals that pulsed with restrained lightning.
The fusion had succeeded.
He could feel it....the power of thunder sleeping within those runes, fierce and boundless.
"Thunder Wings… awaken!"
With a thought, the symbols flared to life.
From his back unfolded a magnificent pair of silver wings, arcs of lightning dancing along their edges.
Their radiance filled the cavern with divine light.
But Ye Chen soon realized their power was far more than flight.
During fusion, the Thunder Wings had used the lightning's essence to refine his very body.
Moreover, they could now act as a conduit....absorbing external lightning energy to strengthen themselves and further temper Ye Chen's physique.
And when infused with Dou Qi, they could unleash an attack known as the Thunder Crescent Slash.....a devastating arc of pure thunder, capable of rivaling a high-tier Earth-rank Dou Technique in power, while consuming only as much energy as a high-tier Profound-rank technique.
