Chapter 741

Boom!

The moment the rolling thunder exploded above Xu Jin's head, his lightning wings flashed, and Xu Jin shifted three meters to the side instantly, avoiding this inexplicable lightning strike.

This really was a world that invited lightning strikes.

The moment Xu Jin stepped out of the star gate, a bolt of heavenly lightning struck toward him.

Looking up and gazing into the distance, lightning light fell constantly in the sky, and black, shiny lightning snakes appeared densely in the sky one after another, silver snakes dancing wildly; at first glance, it actually gave a feeling of a doomsday blockbuster.

Because the heavenly lightning was rolling, the entire star domain presented a pitch-black color, and not a single strand of life aura could be seen.

Everywhere were strange stones tempered by lightning light.

But the lightning-attribute star power was extremely active; this was a good place for lightning-attribute star arts and law comprehension.

It was a pity it was only an incomplete small world; if it were a medium world, it would absolutely be a treasure land.

After just a few glances, Xu Jin found the direction of what Xiang Zhao called the Lei Guang Valley.

According to Xiang Zhao, the direction where the lightning light was densest was the direction of the Lei Guang Valley.

After approaching, occasionally very large lightning would strike down wildly, and one could see that piece of Millennium Lei Guang Copper.

But it was very dangerous; he had recently rushed to within thirty-odd miles, but after being blasted out of half his life by a bolt of lightning, he gave up.

With a movement of his mind, Xu Jin's lightning wings flapped behind him, and he began to fly cautiously toward the direction where the lightning was densest.

He had only flown a thousand meters when lightning struck Xu Jin's forehead again.

"This probability..."

With a movement of his divine sense, the tentacle-like Heaven-Stellar Lei Guang Chain probed out, instantly condensing into a lightning shield above Xu Jin's head, which immediately increased Xu Jin's sense of security.

Actually, this was also Xu Jin's helplessness.

Before this, Xu Jin had the Nine-Heaven Lei Guang Duke Seal, a top-grade Nine-Star spiritual treasure whose power was close to a Suppressing-Artifact, and it was extremely handy to use.

But in the great battle with Song Ju, the Nine-Heaven Lei Guang Duke Seal was directly shattered by several slashes from that wretch Song Ju.

Now, it was extremely unhandy.

Without the Nine-Heaven Lei Guang Duke Seal, the power of Xu Jin's lightning-attribute star arts had dropped significantly.

This was also the reason Xu Jin had come here to take the Millennium Lei Guang Copper.

Once he obtained it and refined it into a lightning-attribute natal spiritual treasure in the shortest possible time, this shortcoming of Xu Jin's could be compensated for.

After traveling about three thousand miles and approaching within three hundred miles of the Lei Guang Valley, Xu Jin's speed suddenly slowed down, and he needed to constantly urge the Heaven-Stellar Lei Guang Chain Shield to defend.

At this distance, almost every breath, a bolt of lightning would explode above his head.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Xu Jin would have almost thought it was artificially controlled.

Suddenly, Xu Jin's gaze froze.

Bones!

A skeleton, blasted charred and scattered, lay on the ground.

Xu Jin immediately descended to the ground, his divine sense sinking in, his Clear-Era Star Pattern sensing, wanting to analyze some intelligence from it.

But a few breaths later, Xu Jin slowly ascended into the air.

There was no harvest.

This skeleton had been scattered here, and he didn't know how many times it had been baptized by lightning light; no useful information could be sensed at all.

He could only know that the cultivation level was not weak, and it was highly likely a Small Tianyang Xingjun.

Only a Small Tianyang Xingjun could come here.

Otherwise, the bones would have long since turned to ash.

Xu Jin didn't dare to use space-shifting to go over directly.

According to Xiang Zhao, the closer to the center of the Lei Guang Valley, the stronger the power of this heavenly lightning, and the more lightning-steel containing chaotic aura it contained.

Xu Jin didn't know if the Heaven-Earth Cloud Tower could withstand it.

If he shifted directly to the very center and the Heaven-Earth Cloud Tower couldn't withstand it, then Xu Jin would be finished.

Under such dense heavenly lightning bombardment, even a Dao-Fetus would have no chance to escape.

Approaching the Lei Guang Valley all the way, the scattered skeletons Xu Jin discovered became more and more numerous; those discovered by Xu Jin had already reached five.

There were certainly more that Xu Jin hadn't discovered.

"This Millennium Lei Guang Copper is likely eyed by quite a few people, but hindered by the strange restrictions here, they can't take it away. If I can take it away, I must act quickly."

Very quickly, Xu Jin arrived at the location Xiang Zhao had mentioned.

At a position about thirty miles from the center of the Lei Guang Valley, Xu Jin also began to be fully on guard!

Boom!

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning exploded above Xu Jin's head without warning.

It was too fast and too abrupt.

Even for Xu Jin, there was no chance to dodge, and he could only take it head-on.

The lightning light blasted down, and the Heaven-Stellar Lei Guang Wing Shield above Xu Jin's head trembled a few times and held up.

Just as Xu Jin felt slightly shocked, another bolt of lightning exploded above his head.

The lightning light exploded, and then the rolling thunder sound rang out.

What made Xu Jin even more stunned was that the color of this lightning light was different, clearly carrying a strand of chaotic color.

It was a composite of multiple colors that finally fused with the pitch-black lightning light.

It was strange, but terrifying!

With just a flash, the Heaven-Stellar Lei Guang Chain Shield above Xu Jin's head was instantly blasted apart, and the terrifying lightning light blasted directly onto Xu Jin's Cold-Ice Wood Lei Guang Armor; Xu Jin's Cold-Ice Wood Lei Guang Armor instantly rippled with huge waves and began to show cracks.

At the critical moment, Xu Jin activated the special star art "Flower-Shifting," which he hadn't used for a long time, directly shifting away a portion of the chaotic lightning-steel, so Xu Jin's Cold-Ice Wood Armor didn't shatter.

Otherwise, once this protective star light shattered, he would only be able to rely on his Eight-Star spiritual armor to take it head-on.

Xu Jin, who had dodged this strike, had a solemn expression.

No wonder Xiang Zhao said this one bolt of lightning cost him half his life.

It was indeed so; the power was too fierce.

Boom!

In the distant sky, a net-like lightning dragon exploded violently, silver-bright, illuminating the entire sky and the distant valley incomparably brightly.

Xu Jin's gaze froze suddenly, and he saw the Millennium Lei Guang Copper Xiang Zhao had mentioned.

On a mountain peak in the Lei Guang Valley, a piece of purple-black metal, the thickness of an adult's arm, stood upright toward the sky, with countless lightning lights faintly flowing on its surface; at first glance, it looked a bit like an oversized lightning rod.

This should be the Millennium Lei Guang Copper Xiang Zhao had mentioned.

And at the same instant, the lightning dragon that illuminated most of the sky blasted down, and most of the lightning light poured onto this purple-black metal.

In an instant, lightning light coiled around it, and this Millennium Lei Guang Copper became incomparably bright, as if transparent, with countless lightning lights coiled inside and out, lingering for a long time.

The lightning light dissipated, but the lightning light coiled on this Millennium Lei Guang Copper was still flickering.

The next instant, lightning rose again from all directions, and heavenly lightning naturally struck in all directions.

At the same time, the divine sense of Xu Jin's Clear-Era Star Pattern also touched this Millennium Lei Guang Copper; the aura inside was extremely complex, containing a massive amount of lightning aura.

But just at this moment, an inexplicable power suddenly fluctuated within this Millennium Lei Guang Copper.

The lightning light coiled around the Millennium Lei Guang Copper just flashed slightly, and in an instant, a large amount of lightning struck from all directions!

But it wasn't striking toward the Millennium Lei Guang Copper.

It was striking toward all directions around the Millennium Lei Guang Copper!

Boom!

At this instant, Xu Jin felt as if he had been struck by lightning, his Dao-Fetus trembled violently, and the sensing of the Clear-Era Star Pattern, which had just spread out like water ripples, collapsed in an instant!

Xu Jin's eyes widened instantly!

"This... this has gained spiritual nature? It discovered someone was peeping at it and actively gathered lightning to destroy my divine sense peeping!" Xu Jin, who had reacted, was dumbfounded.

Gradually, the shock turned into surprise.

This showed that this Millennium Lei Guang Copper was not just a precious material; at the very least, it was an innate spiritual material, and it was even possible it was an innate precious material.

For casting a natal spiritual treasure, spiritual materials are the most common and easiest to obtain, but their upper limit is low. A natal spiritual treasure cast with spiritual materials as the main material can be nurtured into a Suppressing-Artifact if the law attainment is high enough.

And a natal spiritual treasure cast with precious materials as the main material, even if it only evolves one or two law avenues, can be nurtured into a Suppressing-Artifact in a short time, but it is relatively difficult to nurture it into a Tianyang Zhenjun's killing weapon, requiring more investment.

Similarly, a natal spiritual treasure cast with innate spiritual materials has a growth upper limit of at least a Tianyang Zhenjun's killing weapon, and a natal spiritual treasure cast with innate precious materials has a growth upper limit of an Imperial Weapon. However, using precious materials is the first choice for most geniuses to cast natal spiritual treasures.

Although precious materials are difficult, they can still be found if one searches with heart or buys them at a high price.

Innate spiritual materials, innate precious materials, and even the legendary chaotic primordial materials that are higher than that are all things that can be met but not sought.

If one really goes to find main materials with this goal, it is possible they won't be able to cast a natal spiritual treasure for decades, hindering their path.

Because the auxiliary materials of a natal spiritual treasure can be superimposed, those few geniuses whose cultivation breaks through to Tianyang Zhenjun usually look for innate spiritual materials or even innate precious materials to cast into their natal Suppressing-Artifacts to help its rank rise to the level of a Tianyang Zhenjun's killing weapon, although it usually requires several pieces.

If the Millennium Lei Guang Copper before his eyes is really an innate spiritual material, then this wave of harvest is a huge profit.

On the market, innate spiritual materials are treasures that have a price but no market.

But as long as they appear, the starting price is a hundred drops of Universe Star Dew, or the kind of barter.

This discovery made Xu Jin's heart beat wildly.

He flew forward cautiously again, and at the same time, the semi-chaotic Heaven-Earth Cloud Tower had flown above his head, ready to withstand the chaotic lightning-steel at any time.

What Xu Jin had just encountered was only the weakest chaotic lightning-steel.

That bolt of chaotic lightning-steel was only stained with a little bit of chaotic color; the further in he went, the thicker the chaotic color in those lightning bolts, and the heavier the chaotic power.

When he penetrated to twenty miles, the Heaven-Stellar Lei Guang Chain Shield plus the Cold-Ice Wood Lei Guang Armor could no longer withstand it.

A bolt of chaotic lightning-steel came down, and everything shattered.

As for that Eight-Star spiritual armor protecting his body, Xu Jin estimated it could only withstand one wave.

When he penetrated to fifteen miles, Xu Jin had already propped up the Heaven-Earth Cloud Tower.

It must be said that the Heaven-Earth Cloud Tower itself has extremely strong defensive power; the most terrifying thing about chaotic lightning-steel is the strand of chaotic aura mixed within it, which is the fundamental reason why many Guan Xiaoxing Lords cannot resist it at all.

But Xu Jin's semi-chaotic Heaven-Earth Cloud Tower just happened to have not-weak resistance to that chaotic aura.

It could be considered a professional match.

Withstanding the chaotic lightning-steel, Xu Jin moved forward easily all the way.

At a place more than nine miles away from the Millennium Lei Guang Copper, Xu Jin discovered another scattered skeleton, a skeleton blasted charred and broken.

On the side, he also discovered a lump of metal.

His divine sense probed in, and inside it actually contained a strand of residual star power aura and divine soul imprint.

Suppressing-Artifact!

This was a Small Tianyang Xingjun's Suppressing-Artifact!

And it wasn't weak.

When the person was blasted to death here, the Suppressing-Artifact fell here and was also destroyed.

It was completely useless.

However, if it continued to be baptized by this heavenly lightning for over a hundred years, perhaps another piece of lightning-attribute precious material would be born.

This skeleton vividly demonstrated to Xu Jin what it meant to die for wealth.

While becoming even more vigilant, he urged the Heaven-Earth Cloud Tower again to probe cautiously toward the very center of the canyon.

Actually, space-shifting is the fastest.

But the probability of being blasted to death directly by chaotic lightning-steel after space-shifting over is too high.

It is better to probe layer by layer.

Traveling all the way, the closer he got to the Millennium Lei Guang Copper, the stronger the chaotic lightning-steel became.

When he approached about five miles from the Millennium Lei Guang Copper, even the Heaven-Earth Cloud Tower was a bit strained.

Xu Jin even began to urge the space law avenue out, turning it into a protective silver dragon, protecting himself tightly to move forward slowly.

Four miles!

The moment he stepped into four miles, the void before Xu Jin's eyes suddenly trembled slightly.

But Xu Jin didn't notice it at all.

Heavenly lightning rolled, and there were exploding thunders everywhere; the star power aura was extremely chaotic.

This little bit of trembling was just like a strand of light smoke among countless dust; whoever it was, they wouldn't notice it.

Breaking through here, Xu Jin continued to move forward.

Three miles!

Two miles!

Suddenly, the Millennium Lei Guang Copper in Xu Jin's field of vision flashed brightly inexplicably just like before, and the lightning coiled around its body began to rotate rapidly.

While Xu Jin was surprised, his expression changed suddenly.

"Not good!"

Almost at the same time, a large amount of lightning that was originally striking the ground naturally, like concentrated fire, blasted toward Xu Jin wildly.

Boom!

The moment the rolling thunder sound rang out, this lightning light had already fallen on Xu Jin's body consecutively.

Three consecutive terrifying chaotic lightning-steels blasted Xu Jin's Heaven-Earth Cloud Tower until cracks appeared on its surface inch by inch.

His mouth felt sweet, and fresh blood gushed out.

But Xu Jin's pupils shrank suddenly.

In his divine sense sensing, there were at least a dozen more chaotic lightning-steels gathering fire toward him.

If this blasted solidly, it would absolutely be fatal!

He had to retreat!

He couldn't hold on!

Without hesitation, Xu Jin activated space-shifting.

But before space-shifting, chaotic lightning-steel blasted down on his head.

And it was the kind that blasted down three or four bolts simultaneously.

The chaotic lightning-steel was already on his head, and Xu Jin didn't even have time to use the Eight-Star-in-One chaotic protection killing move.

He could only use the space law avenue to take it head-on.

The space law avenue only withstood three bolts before it began to collapse.

But the time for space-shifting had already been won.

The silver dragon transformed by the space law avenue was immediately retracted, the Cold-Ice Wood Lei Guang Armor blocked the aftermath of the chaotic lightning-steel and shattered instantly, and Xu Jin also took a step out.

But just at this moment, the bright light on the Millennium Lei Guang Copper suddenly flashed rapidly again.

Just before Xu Jin vanished, two more chaotic lightning-steels accelerated and blasted toward Xu Jin, especially the first one, which blasted onto the top of Xu Jin's head before he vanished.

The next instant, Xu Jin vanished.

He vanished while coiled in lightning light!

Several hundred miles away, Xu Jin fell out of the void while coiled in lightning light and spitting blood.

Just after falling out, he immediately did a lazy donkey roll in an incomparably wretched manner.

Boom!

A bolt of lightning blasted down where Xu Jin had left!

Standing up, Xu Jin, who had re-propped up the Cold-Ice Wood Lei Guang Armor and the Heaven-Stellar Lei Guang Chain Shield, breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking inside, his injuries were not heavy; they were just some backlash injuries.

Including the Heaven-Earth Cloud Tower, they would recover in a few days.

But judging from the exploration just now, that Millennium Lei Guang Copper had already gained spiritual nature, and this spiritual nature was absolutely not ordinary; it actually knew how to protect itself and actively summoned lightning to blast him, the harvester.

"Could it be that this Millennium Lei Guang Copper is an innate precious material?"

This discovery made Xu Jin's heart jump wildly.

If it were really so, then the harvest of this wave would be too huge!

A few breaths later, Xu Jin looked at the Lei Guang Valley in the distance, his expression becoming ferocious: "Since the first plan doesn't work, then I can only use the second plan!"
