Chapter 160 Wind and Thunder Mastered, Yaoyao Injured (1/2)

Rumble.

Black thunderclouds spat silver snake like lightning, each bolt striking the black lightning rod stone. In turn, the stone emitted wind and lightning power that poured onto the seated Zhou Yuan below.

Every time the wind and lightning power descended, Zhou Yuan's body would tremble uncontrollably.

Although he was already numb to the intense pain, his body would subconsciously react.

Zhou Yuan's eyes were tightly shut, ignoring the pain from his body. After several days of training in this manner, he had already grown used to the strike of lightning.

At this current moment, all his attention was on the interior of his body. Powerful Genesis Qi surged within his blood-red Qi Dwelling where the faint glow of lightning could be seen. Along with the lightning, the sound of rustling wind could be heard.

Lightning flickers as wind blew, the two forces weaving into one while absorbing wisps of Genesis Qi from time to time. Slowly, the amalgamation seemed to transform into a mystical mark.

This mark was similar to lightning and wind, and looked as if it was naturally formed. It was also extremely cryptic and profound.

A mark like this was known as a technique mark.

Such a mark could only be obtained through special cultivation methods. Once formed, it would be imprinted on the Qi Dwelling like a seed of sorts. In future, one would only need to fuse Genesis Qi into the mark to activate the technique.

However, it was clearly much simpler to successfully imprint a little Heaven Genesis technique mark. The difficulty was substantially greater for true Genesis techniques, and required extremely high talent and comprehension ability.

It was rumored that the great powers were masters of innumerable techniques, their Qi Dwellings akin to the starry sky, while powerful Genesis technique after technique easily flowed from their hands. After these great powers died, their technique marks could be left behind through the power of their wills.

Just like the Saint Remains Domain where Genesis techniques existed within the bodies of the native Genesis Beasts…

The Great Wind and Thunder technique mark Zhou Yuan had just managed to acquire was only at the elementary stage. To perfect it, one needed to keep exposing one's body to wind and lightning, and gain increasing understanding of the power within.

Boom!

Zhou Yuan's tightly shut eyes abruptly opened at this moment, the glow of lightning flashing within them.

His hands curled slightly and were placed together at the base of the palm, one on top, one on the bottom as if he was cupping the sun or moon. Meanwhile, the technique mark in his Qi Dwelling began to vibrate.

Pchla.

A glow emerged as lightning began flickering between Zhou Yuan's palms, starting off as a tiny dot that rapidly swelled in response to the influx of Genesis Qi, transforming into a foot wide green black lightning ball.

Violent ripples pulsed from the surface of the lightning ball.

Zhou Yuan's hands were flung forward, shooting the black lightning ball. Its speed was astonishingly fast, travelling a hundred feet in a flash before slamming into a mountain peak.

Boom!

The entire mountain peak instantly collapsed, boulders tumbling down. Its destructive power was insane.

”As expected of a little Heaven Genesis technique!” Zhou Yuan was shocked by the technique's destructive power. He had merely been trying to test it earlier, and had not used his full power. However, the resultant destructive power was already greater than his fully powered Dragon Tablet Hand.

Joy surfaced on Zhou Yuan's face. Great Wind and Thunder had not disappointed him after all, the time spent being struck by lightning had not been wasted.

”Now that I have learnt the Great Wind and Thunder technique, my battle power has risen once again.” Mumbled Zhou Yuan to himself. He would be able to put up a fight even if against encountered those apex geniuses now.

Bzz.

While Zhou Yuan was mumbling to himself, he suddenly sensed some activity from the Saint Tablet in the sky. He immediately lifted his head and saw rays of light converging on the tablet.

This sight caused Zhou Yuan's pupils to shrink. When the Saint Tablet acted in this manner, it meant that changes were being made on it…

”Who will be leaving a name on the tablet this time?”

Under Zhou Yuan's attention, light swept across the tablet and ancient words gradually appeared.

Wu Huang.
