"That doesn't look like lightning released by the Ancient Immortal Needle. What exactly is that?"
In truth, even the Southern Lord and the proud Xian Kun had their brows furrowed at this moment, their green eyes filled with terror and unease. All of them had been startled by those five colossal thunder beasts.
"ROOOAAAR~~~~"
"CRACKLE CRACKLE CRACKLE"
However, just as everyone stood frozen in shock at the five thunder beasts, the beasts let out a furious roar. Then their bodies twisted, and they actually transformed back into five streams of Divine Thunder. They circled around the Ancient Immortal Needle as they streaked downward, finally plunging into the Ancient Immortal Pool.
Once those five streams of Divine Thunder entered the Ancient Immortal Pool, the pool's vortex gradually began to calm. The pitch-black sky returned to its former brightness, and even the golden lightning radiating from the Ancient Immortal Needle slowly dissipated. Before long, this stretch of heaven and earth returned to its former tranquility.
Yet every person present continued to stare at the Ancient Immortal Pool, the shock in their hearts far from subsiding.
And at this moment, Chu Feng — standing at the bottom of the Ancient Immortal Pool — finally opened his eyes. But within those sharp, piercing eyes, five different colors of lightning flickered. Moreover, Chu Feng's aura was no longer simple martial power but rather a domineering, king-level might.
Chu Feng's cultivation was no longer that of a ninth-grade Martial Lord. He had become a first-grade Martial King. At the moment he had triggered the Ancient Immortal Needle, he had received an enormous benefit from the ancient formation, allowing him to break through directly.
"Haha, so that's why you weren't answering me — you broke through! So tell me, I saw that black Divine Thunder burst out of your body and then return inside. Did you master any new power?" Eggy asked excitedly.
But Chu Feng didn't answer Eggy's question. Instead, with a mere thought, his Thunder Armor materialized.
After the Thunder Armor appeared, Chu Feng's cultivation instantly rose from first-grade Martial King to second-grade Martial King. And now, Chu Feng's Thunder Armor was different from before.
The current Thunder Armor was closer to a solid, tangible form. However, surging around the outside of that solidified Thunder Armor were five different colors of lightning, whereas before there had only been four.
"Sure enough, there's an additional type of lightning, but your cultivation only rose by a single level. The change doesn't seem all that significant."
Eggy could sense Chu Feng's cultivation. Seeing that the Thunder Armor had changed but its overall function hadn't, Eggy couldn't help but pout, a look of frustration surfacing on that breathtakingly beautiful little face.
"CRACKLE CRACKLE CRACKLE" But just then, Chu Feng moved with his will once more. When the lightning in his eyes flashed, two massive thunder swords extended from the back of his Thunder Armor.
The thunder swords stretched outward, then curved and transformed, ultimately forming shapes reminiscent of wings. It turned out they weren't two thunder swords at all — they were a pair of thunder wings.
Those thunder wings were incredibly imposing. Each one stretched several meters in length, many times taller than Chu Feng himself. And their form was stunning — not only did the five types of lightning intertwine among them, but they also caused the surrounding objects to tremble.
However, what shocked Eggy the most at this moment was Chu Feng's cultivation. After the thunder wings appeared, his cultivation actually climbed once more, rising from second-grade Martial King all the way to the third-grade Martial King realm.
"Haha, now that's more like it — mastering new power and leaping up two whole levels in one go!" At this moment, the previously frustrated Eggy broke into a radiant smile, looking absolutely beautiful as she laughed.
"That's not even the best part. This breakthrough brought me a whole new discovery. Perhaps this is the true power of the Divine Thunder," Chu Feng said.
"The true power? What discovery?" The moment she heard Chu Feng's words, Eggy's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but press him for more details.
