Becoming Immortal in One Step - C108
A violent aura, a desire to destroy. Other than these, Lei Ao only felt a thirst for battle.
Crazy creatures were simply born to fight.
Lei Ao muttered as he put the beast shield away and looked at the small world. There were not many veins left in the small world, he had absorbed a lot during this period of time.
After losing his Divine Veins, his body wasn’t like a bottomless pit. No matter how much power he used, his body would be able to contain it, but there was no sign of it growing.
The blood blade was still sleeping, but even if it woke up, without the support of the divine vein, it would still be difficult for Lei Ao to control it.
Even the black long blade that Chen Shuang had given him was extremely difficult to pick up. Without the Divine Veins, his powerful body was useless.
“Damn it, don’t tell me that without the Divine Veins, I won’t be able to do anything?” Lei Ao lowered his head in frustration, recalling the situation when he didn’t have the Divine Veins.
Even without the Divine Veins, he was still able to execute the Howling Wind Incantation and use the Heaven Collapsing Palm, as well as the Five Star Map.
Without the Divine Veins, he still had the Seven Styles of Heavenly Saber. It was not the Battle Tribe’s Heavenly Saber Technique, but rather the Seven Styles of Heavenly Saber by Heavenly Saber Sect.
Ever since he came to the God Realm, he had forgotten about this blade art. Normally, even if he used the basic blade style, he would never think about using it.
Without a Divine Vein, I, Lei Ao, am also a powerhouse!
After sweeping away his previous dispiritedness, Lei Ao found a nearby place to start researching his blade skills.
Although his power had decreased, he still had the Beast Vicious Shield, an unbreakable defense even a Saint Ruler would not be able to break, and a Heaven Punisher Divine Thunder Crystal. No one below Saint Ruler could escape that level of explosion.
Ever since Lei Ao and Xie washed the two Realm Mountains and fought against the God Emperor at the Chen family’s old home, the most talked about thing in the God Realm was Lei Ao.
However, after that battle, the Chen Clan had completely vanished, leaving no way for them to understand the true intentions of that day’s battle.
Those who had some understanding of the Divine Veins knew what the consequences would be if they were to burn it.
All of a sudden, many guesses emerged. Many large sects all came forward to prophesy that Lei Ao was dead, while some of them went to the Underworld Sect to verify their suspicions.
As the most authoritative intelligence organization in the entire God Realm, the Underworld Gate had always adhered to its own rules and refused to reveal any information that contained the primordial divine vein, even if it was trading with half of the God Realm.
Half a month later, the two powers once again raised their bounty. This time, they didn’t want to encircle and annihilate Lei Ao, but to confirm Lei Ao’s life and death.
Unable to resist the temptation of these massive materials, the Twin Mountains that were originally turned into an Asura killing field by Lei Ao’s slaughter became lively once more.
In the middle of all this, the once most active family of the Chen family was nowhere to be seen. Even now, there were still people that were doubtful whether that battle between the God Emperor and Lei Ao or Lei Ao had annihilated the Chen family.
Lei Ao was completely oblivious to all of this. Fortunately, the place where he was not in seclusion was close to the resting place of the giant python and beast. Normal cultivators did not dare to barge into this area.
In the blink of an eye, half a year had passed. During this half year, Lei Ao had been bitterly practicing his blade technique, looking for a way to reawaken his Divine Veins.
However, there was no true battle of life and death, nor was there an unstoppable advance. From beginning to end, he was still unable to feel a trace of fluctuations from his divine vein.
In the past half year, the Saint Ruler giant python had come out to hunt for food three times. However, it had always avoided the area where it would enter closed door seclusion, and had always been at peace.
Perhaps, it was still wary of the Divine Tribulation Lightning in Lei Ao’s hands.
In the tenth month, other than a few gathering places of ferocious beasts, the rest of the Twin Realms Mountain was overturned. However, there were no traces of Lei Ao.
As time passed, people also began to calmly look at this matter. They continued to make the hunting medallions from before in exchange for what they needed.
The only person who did not give up on his search was — Chen Shuang!
Back then, when she was sent away by the Chen Clan’s Saint Ruler, she had actually appeared not too far away from the Chen Clan.
Almost without any hesitation, he turned around and once again charged into the mountain.
By coincidence, when she returned to the Twin Realms Mountain, she discovered countless mountains stained with blood. Soon after, she heard the news of Lei Ao causing a huge ruckus within the Divine Realm and engaging in a fierce battle with the Divine Emperor of the Chen Family.
Chen Shuang didn’t have time to be shocked that the Chen family still had a Divine Emperor existence, so she rushed towards the Chen family without stopping.
Lei Ao and the God Emperor battled for three days and three nights. The Chen family was surrounded by a powerful aura, and with the God Emperor’s barrier appearing from time to time, even a Saint Ruler would not be able to enter.
Chen Shuang waited outside for three days, and in the end, all she saw was a blurry shadow disappear into the horizon.
She had also asked for help from the Underworld Gate before, and similarly, she did not receive any information. She guessed that if Lei Ao was still alive, he would definitely head towards the Twin Realm Mountain.
Because that was the best place to hide.
Most importantly, she knew that Lei Ao had a companion, a Buddhist descendant called ‘Unbridled Descendant’.
Lei Ao had asked her to pass the news to him, and at the same time, he had given her a place to stay in seclusion.
In the first half of the year, Chen Shuang explored some relatively safe areas in the Twin Realms Mountain. After no results, she gradually began to search for places where ferocious beasts roamed about.
It dragged on for eight months, and during this period of time, not only were the beasts extremely powerful, they were mostly in a group.
Even if Lei Ao didn’t die, he would probably lose all of his strength.
Perhaps, they had already become the food of ferocious beasts.
Disappointed, Chen Shuang headed to the secluded training grounds, completing the task Lei Ao had given her.
Due to the distance between them and the fact that Chen Shuang was still looking for her, it was already two months before she reached her destination.
She hadn’t seen him, but she had seen Lei Ao, who she had been bitterly searching for for the past half year.
Staring at the familiar figure, Chen Shuang silently cursed herself for being foolish. She should have known earlier, if Lei Ao was still alive, he would definitely come to look for his comrades.
The retreating Lei Ao didn’t notice it until Chen Shuang appeared less than ten meters behind him.
“Uh, is that you?” Lei Ao stared blankly at Chen Shuang. His brows were tightly knitted together as he said, “How did you end up like this?”
Although Chen Shuang’s appearance could not be compared to those of Lan Hai, Nangong Mengjun and the others, she was not inferior to Huang Xin and Ye Yin Yun.
The only difference was, besides facing Lei Ao, Chen Shuang had a cold expression on her face.
But now, the originally beautiful and unparalleled Mu Ru Yue was now completely clothed. Blood continued to seep out from every part of her body, and her expression became extremely haggard, causing one’s heart to ache.
Her beautiful eyes stared fixedly at Lei Ao as her complicated emotions fluctuated in an instant. Finally, she let out a soft sigh and smiled: “That’s great, you’re still alive.”
“Are you looking for me?” Lei Ao was stunned, he asked, “Is the Chen family still chasing you?”
“No, the Chen family has already disappeared.” Chen Shuang gently shook her head and said, “These are all external injuries, so they’re not a big deal.” “But you …”
Chen Shuang wanted to say something but hesitated.
“As you can see, my Divine Veins have disappeared. Right now, I’m just an ordinary person. Right, what’s going on outside?”
“As long as I am alive, that is good. There will be a day when my strength will return. The search outside is still going on. The two powers want to confirm your fate. In addition, as a result of your disappearance, they changed their target to your partner. ”
“Humph, it seems like the killing was not fierce enough at that time.”
Lei Ao sneered. These two powers still had not given up on these descendants of the Divine Veins.
“I never thought that the Chen family would still have a Divine Emperor alive. Fortunately, you managed to safely escape.”
“Escape? “You’re wrong. If it wasn’t for that damned Spirit Formation, I would have already killed him. I left because I didn’t have much time, so there’s no meaning in continuing to linger around here.”
Ah?!
Chen Shuang was shocked speechless. All along, he had thought that Lei Ao had fled after being defeated, but he never imagined that the one being suppressed was actually the God Emperor.
“By the way, how did you get caught by them in the first place? No one should know about the secret communication between us. ” Lei Ao had been trying to figure this out.
“It’s all because of that blade.” Chen Shuang said with a wry smile, “It’s my fault for being too careless.”
It turned out that the black blade Chen Shuang handed to Lei Ao was originally owned by Chen Shuang’s father, and was known by everyone in the Chen family.
Although Lei Ao always wore a mask when he made his move, those from the Chen Clan could easily recognize this saber. They could infer that there had to be some sort of deal between Lei Ao and Chen Shuang.
Otherwise, the blade wouldn’t have appeared in Lei Ao’s hands.
Years ago, when the Chen Clan was exterminated, the young Chen Shuang fled to Immortality Dais with her treasured blade. Throughout the years, the Chen Clan had searched for this blade.
After all, this was a treasure that he had obtained from an Ancient Era’s Remnants. Merely its extraordinary weight was sufficient to cause others to feel pity for it.
The Chen family was never soft-hearted towards deserters. They surrounded and annihilated Chen Shuang. However, they underestimated Chen Shuang’s strength and her vigilance.
