Chapter 493: Fifth Form, Lightning Wyrm Form
"Squeak squeak~" Duan Ling Tian had just withdrawn the Monkey King Wine when the little gold mouse that stood on his shoulder cried out in excitement. Obviously, she was filled with interest towards the Monkey King Wine.
"Big Brother Ling Tian, what wine is this? Only the fragrance of the wine has caused the Origin Energy in my body to become restless..." The little gold mouse looked with eager eyes at the drop of Monkey King Wine in Duan Ling Tian's hand as she asked via voice transmission.
"You little fellow... Open your mouth!" Duan Ling Tian shook his head and directly shot the drop of Monkey King Wine into the little gold mouse's mouth with a raise of his hand.
Instantly, she little gold mouse shuddered and lay on Duan Ling Tian's shoulder before closing her jade green eyes and starting to cultivate...
She was absorbing the medicinal strength of the Monkey King Wine.
Duan Ling Tian shook his head and smiled when he saw the little gold mouse immersed in cultivating, and he withdrew another drop of Monkey King Wine before opening his mouth and swallowing it.
Instantly, the overbearing medicinal strength of the Monkey King Wine started to rage within Duan Ling Tian's body, desiring to strengthen Duan Ling Tian's Origin Energy.
Unfortunately, Duan Ling Tian's Origin Energy had already arrived at the limit of the Half-step Void Stage.
Now, it had even been accumulated by Duan Ling Tian to the limit.
So, at the same time that the medicinal strength of the Monkey King Wine was strengthening Duan Ling Tian's Origin Energy, it was urging the transformation of the Origin Energy within Duan Ling Tian's body to a certain extent...
Nine Dragons War Sovereign Technique, Lightning Wyrm Form!
The Lightning Wyrm Form was the fifth form of the Nine Dragons War Sovereign Technique, and it was the mental cultivation method that corresponded to the Void Prying Stage.
After Duan Ling Tian's cultivation broke through to the Half-step Void Stage, his fourth form of the Nine Dragons War Sovereign Technique, the Wind Wyrm Form, had already been cultivated to the limit.
If he wanted to advance further, then he must cultivate the next portion of the Nine Dragons War Sovereign Technique, the fifth form, the Lightning Wyrm Form!
Along with Duan Ling Tian circulating the mental cultivation method of the Lightning Wyrm Form, the Origin Energy in his body started vibrating intensely, and it was even to the extent that it showed traces of collapsing...
Of course, it wasn't really collapsing.
Just like the saying, a phoenix achieves rebirth and gains new life, Duan Ling Tian's Origin Energy was undergoing a similar transformation.
Duan Ling Tian was immersed in his cultivation and the mental cultivation method of the Lightning Wyrm Form ceaselessly circulated.
He didn't know how long had passed, it was like an instant, yet also like a few years.
Finally, the Origin Energy in his body ceaselessly vibrated, and under the urging of the medicinal strength of the Monkey King Wine in the end, his Origin Energy underwent a qualitative transformation.
The Origin Energy that had undergone a qualitative transformation flowed continuously into Duan Ling Tian's Dantian.
Whereas within Duan Ling Tian's Dantian, the nascent soul condensed from Origin Energy suddenly expanded and at the same time it became slightly illusory...
"Void Prying Stage!" When he saw the nascent soul become big and illusory, Duan Ling Tian knew that he'd broken through to the Void Prying Stage.
The Void Prying Stage was the first stage in the Void Stage, and it was considered as an introductory stage.
In the four stages within the Void Stage, there was a chasm that was difficult to surmount between every stage, and the difference in strength was like the difference between heaven and earth.
For example, a ninth level Void Prying Stage martial artist was able to exert the strength of one ancient horned dragon and 2,000 ancient mammoths by only relying on Origin Energy.
Whereas a first level Void Initiation Stage martial artist was able to exert the strength of two ancient horned dragons by only relying on Origin Energy.
The difference between the two was the strength of 8,000 ancient mammoths!
Of course, the higher the stage, the bigger the gap.
"I've finally broken through!" Duan Ling Tian took a deep breath and slowly opened his eyes, and a bright light that was like a flashing meteor flashed within his eye.
"What formidable strength!" Duan Ling Tian lightly clenched his fist and when his Origin Energy leaped about, he was able to feel the surging strength contained within...
Whoosh!
Above Duan Ling Tian, 2,011 ancient mammoth silhouettes slowly condensed into form...
An ordinary first level Void Prying Stage martial artist possessed a strength comparable to 2,000 ancient mammoths when only utilizing Origin Energy!
Whereas Duan Ling Tian instead possessed an extra strength of 11 ancient mammoths when compared to a martial artist with a similar cultivation.
This was the special benefit the Nine Dragons War Sovereign Technique gifted him in the past.
However, along with the increase in his strength, the effect of this special benefit had become smaller and smaller.
After all, before battles that utilized the strength of over 1,000 ancient mammoths at every turn, the strength of 11 ancient mammoths seemed to be insignificant.
"My Spiritual Force..." Subsequently, Duan Ling Tian started to check his Spiritual Force.
In the end, Duan Ling Tian noticed helplessly that his Spiritual Force actually didn't advance in the slightest...
It was still at the first level of the Void Prying Stage as before.
"It's waiting for my cultivation to synchronize with it?" Duan Ling Tian laughed bitterly as he'd originally thought that along with his cultivation breaking through to the Void Prying Stage, his Spiritual Force would break through as well...
Unexpectedly, his Spiritual Force had instead didn't move at all.
One year ago, when he was only a sixth level Nascent Soul Stage martial artist, his Spiritual Force's level was at the first level of the Void Prying Stage.
Now, he'd broken through to the first level of the Void Prying Stage, and his Spiritual Force was still at the first level of the Void Prying Stage.
"Looks like the Spiritual Force that was increased from consuming Spirit Fruits that increased Spiritual Force doesn't advance along with the cultivation and advances stably..." In the end, Duan Ling Tian could only wildly guess himself.
After all, he was facing this condition right now.
"Never mind... Even if my Spiritual Force hasn't advanced, my cultivation has advanced to the first level of the Void Prying Stage after all, and it can be considered to be a good thing. Perhaps I'm still too greedy." In next to no time, Duan Ling Tian relaxed his mind and didn't fuss about it any longer.
"Presently, my Spiritual Force is synchronized to my cultivation... In the future, so long as my cultivation increases, then my Spiritual Force will be able to increase correspondingly." Duan Ling Tian thought in his heart and he wanted to continue to set out towards a higher level of cultivation.
But he knew that he'd only just broken through to the first level of the Void Prying Stage now and his foundation wasn't stable, let alone charging to a higher level of cultivation.
"Six-Nine Heavenly Tribulation... It has come so quickly?" In next to no time, Duan Ling Tian felt his heart palpitate for no reason, and a thought suddenly emerged within his mind.
This was the indication of the Six-Nine Heavenly Tribulation!
Every human or demon beast that had just broken through to the Void Prying Stage would have to experience this moment.
Duan Ling Tian, who'd merged with the lifetime worth of memories of the Rebirth Martial Emperor, wasn't surprised by this.
"Around ten day... During this period of time, I have to prepare properly to greet the baptism of the Six-Nine Heavenly Tribulation... My Tempest Point is relying on it." Duan Ling Tian suddenly stood up, and his fierce gaze shot into the distance.
Along with the dispersing of the clouds and mist, an enormous city that stood in the distance appeared before Duan Ling Tian's eyes, and it was like a demon beast that was in a deep slumber for a long time and would awaken at any moment.
That place was the Azure Forest Imperial Kingdom's Imperial City.
"There's still some time, and it's just nice enough for me to overcome the Six-Nine Heavenly Tribulation before heading to the Dragon and Phoenix Academy!" Duan Ling Tian decided in his heart.
After a short moment, Duan Ling Tian's figure abruptly flashed out into the distance.
Whirlwind!
In this instant, his entire body seemed to have transformed into a swift gale that swept the clouds and mist on the peak of the mountain to the point they roiled.
Swoosh!
In next to no time, Duan Ling Tian pointed out his finger with a life of his hand.
The Origin Energy on his finger was condensed and flickered with strands of azure colored energy, and it contained a shocking might.
Swish!
In next to no time, a milky white beam of light shot out from the tip of the finger Duan Ling Tian pointed out, the surroundings of the beam of light was coiled by azure colored energy, and it as like azure colored little snakes that shot out along with the white beam of light.
Bang!
The white colored beam of light shot onto an enormous rock at the side of the peak and the azure colored little snaked swept out, causing the enormous rock to shatter, and fragments of rocks shot out as stone dust suffused the air.
"Presently, I've mastered Wind Force, yet have no knowledge of Lightning Force... This Tempest Point hasn't even stepped into the Initial Stage. However, the Tempest Point is a high grade Earth Rank martial skill after all, and even if it didn't step into the Initial Stage, once Wind Force is integrated into it, its might would be far from something the Dragon's Finishing Touch was able to compare to!" Duan Ling Tian's eyes suddenly lit up.
The Tempest Point was a high grade Earth Rank martial skill, and it was a martial skill that came along with the fifth form of the Nine Dragons War Sovereign Technique, the Lightning Wyrm Form.
It stressed upon Wind Force and Lightning Force supplementing each other, and using that to execute a formidable attack.
Gods and ghosts wailed before the Tempest Point!
This was what the Rebirth Martial Emperor annotated on the Tempest Point.
"Wind is adept at speed and its attack is fierce and swift... Even though the speed of lightning is inferior to wind, it's only a slight difference. Moreover, the explosive force of lightning is for superior to wind!" Duan Ling Tian thought in his heart.
It could be easily imagined that a martial skill that used wind and lightning to supplement each other would surely have an extremely shocking might.
"Presently, I can be considered to have started to comprehend the Half-step Advanced Wind Force... Whereas I haven't comprehended Lightning Force in the slightest. I can only hope that I can use the energy of the tribulation lightning during the Six-Nine Heavenly Tribulation to comprehend Lightning Force!" When he thought up to here, Duan Ling Tian glanced at the little gold mouse that was still cultivating on his shoulder.
He still remembered that during the time the little gold mouse overcame her Six-Nine Heavenly Tribulation, the sixth tribulation lightning was directly swallowed by her.
Not only that, she even relied on the energy of the tribulation lightning to successfully comprehend Lightning Force.
Moreover, it wasn't an ordinary Lightning Force, but Half-step Advanced Lightning Force!
Whereas now, the little gold mouse had relied on her natural talent as a Jade-eyed Heavenly Mouse to perfectly comprehend Advanced Lightning Force, and in the comprehension of Lightning Force, she could be considered to have stepped into the Perfection Stage.
Of course, after Advanced Lightning Force, there was still Lightning Concept.
That was something the little gold mouse needed to draw support from the Advanced Lightning Force to comprehend.
"According to the memories of the Rebirth Martial Emperor and the records of the Nine Dragons War Sovereign Technique, when the Six-Nine Heavenly Tribulation arrives, I don't have to swallow the tribulation lightning like Little Gold... Of course, even if I want to swallow it, I don't have the ability." Duan Ling Tian could imagine that if he dared to learn from Little Gold and open his mouth to swallow the tribulation lightning, then the one that would suffer would definitely be him.
Not everyone was able to swallow tribulation lightning.
"Presently, I've comprehended Half-step Advanced Wind Force and my Whirlwind can be considered to have officially stepped into the Mastery Stage... Once I comprehend Advanced Wind Force, then I would be considered to have cultivated Whirlwind to the Perfection Stage!" As Duan Ling Tian thought, his figure flashed out like a gale that ceaselessly swept by.
For a time, dust suffused the peak of the mountain, and all the clouds and mist on the peak had dispersed.
Nine days later.
"It has finally come?" Duan Ling Tian raised his head to look at the horizon. The clouds and mist in the horizon were ceaselessly being compressed, and in the end, it transformed into a whirlpool that revolved without end...
The Six-Nine Heavenly Tribulation was about to arrive!
