Divine King of Honour Chapter 1826: Absorbing Divine Thunder

"This Divine Thunder’s might surpasses my expectations. I never imagined even my Thunder Jade Bottle would be unable to withstand its impact."

Shi Shanshan coughed up another gush of blood, her aura visibly diminished.

Xu Nian observed the gravely injured Shi Shanshan, a slight frown creasing his brow.

At this moment, the destructive power unleashed by the Divine Thunder’s impact continued to wreak havoc within her body.

It seemed exceptionally difficult to expel it in any short amount of time.

"No, I must seize the Divine Thunder," Shi Shanshan declared, rising to her feet and pushing forward.

"But without the Jade Bottle, how will you manage to collect this Divine Thunder?" Xu Nian inquired, a hint of bewilderment in his voice.

"If the Jade Bottle is unavailable, I shall employ my own soul power to apprehend it. As long as I act swiftly, I should be able to seal a bolt of lightning within myself," Shi Shanshan stated.

Her eyes were alight with unwavering resolve.

Xu Nian could only offer a helpless shake of his head.

If Shi Shanshan were to proceed with such a plan, she would undoubtedly be inviting death.

Just how formidable was the power of this Divine Thunder?

How could she possibly endure its onslaught?

"Never mind, allow me to handle this. I possess a method to assist you in obtaining the Divine Thunder," Xu Nian declared.

"You have a method?" Shi Shanshan responded with a degree of skepticism.

The sheer terror wielded by this Divine Thunder was palpable; she had already braced herself for the possibility of death simply by attempting to capture it.

Even if Xu Nian possessed immense power, it was hardly a certainty that he could withstand the devastating assault of this Divine Thunder.

Furthermore, Shi Shanshan perceived no discernible reason for Xu Nian to offer assistance.

"Indeed, I possess a method," Xu Nian affirmed.

Upon uttering these words, Xu Nian gestured, and his true form materialized before him.

"Eh? A Human Clan member?" Shi Shanshan’s expression shifted dramatically.

"This is a clone originating from my Human Clan lineage," Xu Nian clarified.

Hearing this explanation, Shi Shanshan suddenly grasped the situation.

The Underworld strictly forbids the presence of the Human Clan, and discovery would result in severe repercussions.

Consequently, practitioners of the Netherworld generally hold a strong aversion towards the Human Clan.

Naturally, a segment of Netherworld Practitioners also forge their own avatars modeled after the Human Clan.

This is because the Human Clan possesses genuine bodies of flesh and blood.

"This avatar of yours appears to possess a remarkably robust physique," Shi Shanshan commented, her gaze appraising Xu Nian’s true form.

She could distinctly sense the overwhelming power contained within Xu Nian’s Human Clan manifestation.

This power felt unfathomably vast, as if the being before her was not merely a physical form but rather a colossal, ancient Fierce Beast given human shape.

Xu Nian emitted a soft chuckle, allowing his true form to advance towards the area of the Divine Thunder ahead.

Without a moment’s hesitation, Xu Nian’s true form plunged directly into the zone crackling with Divine Thunder.

"Crack!"

A fearsome bolt of purple Divine Thunder descended directly upon Xu Nian’s true form.

Unyielding and resolute, Xu Nian allowed the Divine Thunder to strike him.

Witnessing this spectacle, Shi Shanshan was instantly struck by a wave of horror.

Regardless of the strength of one’s flesh, it seemed incapable of withstanding a direct impact from this Divine Thunder.

She even harbored doubts as to whether Xu Nian’s Human Clan avatar would be pulverized into mere dust by the Divine Thunder.

However, the subsequent turn of events left her utterly stunned.

"Boom!"

The Divine Thunder slammed into Xu Nian’s chest, propelling his form back a couple of steps.

Yet, Xu Nian managed to endure the force of the impact.

The terrifying Divine Thunder writhed and swirled around Xu Nian’s body.

Remarkably, Xu Nian’s physical body remained completely unharmed.

Conversely, Xu Nian initiated the Dan Sea Species Green Lotus Decision, directly absorbing the Divine Thunder into his Dantian.

The destructive essence of the Divine Thunder was assimilated by the Chaos Green Lotus.

The power emanating from the Divine Thunder dispersed throughout Xu Nian’s being, eliciting a curious tingling sensation.

"What an exhilarating sensation! I never would have imagined that being struck by this Divine Thunder could feel so incredibly good," Xu Nian exclaimed with evident delight.

He could discern that as the Divine Thunder coursed through his body, his physical vitality experienced a further augmentation.

Although the increase was not monumental, for Xu Nian, whose physical form already rivaled that of a Divine Artifact, this was no trivial development.

Subsequently, a second and then a third Divine Thunder struck in rapid succession.

Xu Nian’s physical composition remained entirely unscathed.

On the contrary, he reveled in the experience.

Shi Shanshan, observing from nearby, was rendered utterly speechless.

To face the strike of the Divine Thunder without fear, what sort of physical body could this possibly be?

Could it belong to a Divine-level Expert?

Yet, it did not present as such!

And so, after Xu Nian had absorbed approximately ten bolts of Divine Thunder, the Great Dao Destruction Origin power within his body had reached a state of saturation.

At this precise moment, the black Divine Thunder had miraculously transformed into a serpentine Black Thunderclap Dragon within his body, continuously entwining itself around the Chaos Green Lotus.

Xu Nian could distinctly feel the immense power residing within the black Thunderclap Dragon. Yet, he also recognized that his current cultivation was insufficient to wield its full might.

"This is sufficient!" he declared. After absorbing the necessary amount for himself, Xu Nian turned his attention to capturing the thunder for Shi Shanshan.

"Boom!" A bolt of Divine Thunder violently struck. Xu Nian’s gaze sharpened, and with a swift movement of his hand, he caught the bolt.

"Buzz!" Xu Nian's speed was astonishing, instantly grasping the Thunder Serpent of the Divine Thunder. Strangely, once captured, the Divine Thunder couldn't break free from his hold.

Xu Nian's form flickered, and he materialized directly before Shi Shanshan. Her eyes widened in amazement upon seeing the Divine Thunder held in his hand.

To capture Divine Thunder with bare hands? How was such a feat possible? Below the Divine level, very few could accomplish this. What kind of formidable physical body did he possess to so effortlessly grasp Divine Thunder?

Xu Nian produced a Jade Bottle – an ordinary, albeit Top-grade, Immortal Artifact. However, he immediately inscribed a Heaven Suppressing Talisman upon it. With the talisman's power applied, the Divine Thunder was smoothly contained within the Jade Bottle.

"Divine Talisman Seal? Are you a Divine Talisman Master?" Shi Shanshan exclaimed in shock, recognizing the seal on the Jade Bottle. She realized that she couldn't fully comprehend this man. Despite him possessing the same cultivation level as her, he wielded a God Sword, possessed an unparalleled physical body, and now, had mastered the Divine Talisman Seal. Any one of these accomplishments would be extraordinary on its own.

"Something like that," Xu Nian replied with a smile, presenting the Jade Bottle to her.

"Thank you!" Shi Shanshan expressed her heartfelt gratitude.

"There's no need for thanks. Just permit me to observe when you refine the artifact. Also, please keep my clone a secret," Xu Nian stated. Shi Shanshan nodded in agreement.

"I've decided to refine the artifact right here," Shi Shanshan announced thoughtfully.

"Here?" Xu Nian expressed a touch of surprise.

"Yes, the more Heaven and Earth lightning the Divine Thunder Pestle absorbs, the better. The highest concentration of lightning elements is found here, increasing the chances of success, especially since I've never refined a Top-Grade Divine Artifact before," Shi Shanshan elaborated.

Xu Nian nodded. He conceded that this was indeed the optimal location for refining a Thunder Attribute Divine Artifact.

"Then proceed. I shall act as your protector," Xu Nian offered. Shi Shanshan nodded and began her preparations for the refinement. Xu Nian, too, was filled with curiosity; he was eager to witness firsthand how others refined a divine artifact, having never observed such a process before.
