Chapter 175: Thunder Block?

"Thunder Block?" Lin Yan frowned and asked curiously upon hearing Yao Lao's words.

"Thunder Block is a type of extremely special spiritual wood," Yao Lao explained, pointing to the massive black wooden block in front of them. "This kind of spiritual object has the ability to attract and accumulate lightning and electricity. See how the lightning and electricity from the surroundings are being drawn towards that piece of spiritual wood? That is the Thunder Block."

Lin Yan suddenly understood and finally realized what the Thunder Block was. His eyes lit up as he said to Yao Lao, "Then, Yao Lao, does this mean I can use this to refine my body and try to reach the Jade Lightning state?"

Achieving the Jade Lightning state required an extremely high concentration of lightning elements. If Lin Yan could find Thunder Grass like before and refine it into Thunder Pills, it would be even better. But such spiritual herbs were extremely rare and difficult to find. Thus, under normal circumstances, cultivating with lightning and electricity was the safest option.

However, since Lin Yan left Yan City, he hadn't seen a single thunderstorm. What he saw this time was likely the only thunderstorm he'd encountered recently. Now, after hearing Yao Lao's explanation, Lin Yan had an idea. Could he use the lightning attracted by this Thunder Block to advance from a half-step to Jade Lightning and complete his transformation?

"That is feasible," Yao Lao nodded in response to Lin Yan, but then added, "However, young friend, the demonic beast hovering over the Thunder Block is not simple. That is a Rising Thunder Serpent. We also have some of them on the Battle Continent, and they are among the most powerful demonic beasts. These beasts, when fully grown, have the strength of a Combat King, and if they evolve into Rapid Thunder Serpents, they can even match Combat Emperor fighters."

After saying this, Yao Lao carefully sensed the situation and continued, "The Rising Thunder Serpent ahead has not yet evolved, but if everything goes as expected, it should still have the strength of a Combat King. In other words, it has the strength of a cultivator in the Creation Realm."

Lin Yan showed no fear upon hearing this. In fact, he felt a strong determination. Now that his strength had significantly increased, he also wanted to see how his power compared to cultivators in the Creation Realm. Nonetheless, he asked Yao Lao, "Yao Lao, how does the strength of this Rising Thunder Serpent compare to Lin Langtian?"

Yao Lao shook his head and said, "It is much weaker. After all, Lin Langtian's cultivation level is higher. Moreover, he also masters the Martial Art of Creation. A common cultivator in the Creation Realm would not be his match."

Lin Yan nodded. "You're right. Lin Langtian, as the first genius of the Lin Family, has his own merits." He then turned his gaze towards the Rising Thunder Serpent in front of him.

Seeing Lin Yan staring at the Rising Thunder Serpent, Yao Lao asked with a smile, "What do you think? Do you want to try your luck, young friend?"

Lin Yan smiled in response, "Of course I do. If I can't even handle this Rising Thunder Serpent, how could I face Lin Langtian?"

Saying this, he took a step forward, unleashed his energy, and unfurled his purple wings. With the four wings spread, Lin Yan's speed became as fast as lightning. Flapping his wings, he turned into a streak of light and instantly arrived in front of the Rising Thunder Serpent.

Hiss...

Seeing Lin Yan suddenly appear, the Rising Thunder Serpent displayed a fierce look. It hissed and began gathering lightning in front of its mouth. The lightning quickly converged into countless electric light balls. The Rising Thunder Serpent swung its mouth and launched the lightning balls towards Lin Yan, creating a spectacle of flashing lightning and crackling sounds.

"Is this the strength of a demonic beast in the Creation Realm? Truly powerful. Much stronger than that despicable failure in the Formation," Lin Yan thought seriously as he watched. There was no denying that the Rising Thunder Serpent's strength was extremely powerful. The tactic it just deployed could have been enough to annihilate any cultivator in the Creation Realm.

But unfortunately for it, it encountered Lin Yan.

Seeing the approaching lightning, Lin Yan showed no sign of fear. He drew his Heavy Void Ruler with one hand. The powerful yuan within his body began to flow, and a blue-green flame enveloped the Void Ruler. Ancient and mysterious patterns appeared on the ruler. Once the pressure in his body reached its peak, Lin Yan suddenly swung it. Immediately, it turned into a gigantic wave of blue-green fire that charged towards the lightning.

Boom!

The wave of fire and lightning collided, causing an instant explosion. This clash could be considered a tie. Once these two forces touched, they canceled each other out, turning into a cloud of smoke that obscured the view.

But Lin Yan was a talisman master with an extremely strong mental strength. While the Rising Thunder Serpent was blinded by the smoke, Lin Yan, with his four wings spread, quickly rushed towards it. He instantly activated his Jade Lightning state. Immediately, rays of light appeared on his body. Lin Yan's body also became slightly transparent.

Aiming directly at the vital point of the Rising Thunder Serpent, Lin Yan launched his most powerful punch, the Eight Extremes Burst. This punch, with eight layers of dark force stacked, combined with the Jade Lightning state that enhanced his body, and wrapped in a powerful strange flame, had an extremely strong force. A single punch would be enough to incapacitate the Rising Thunder Serpent, even with its cultivation in the Creation Realm.

Directly hit by Lin Yan, the skin of the Rising Thunder Serpent tore open, causing it to scream in pain. Rays of light surged from its body. At this moment, the Rising Thunder Serpent seemed to be discharging electricity, with an extremely terrifying high-tension aura covering its body. Under these circumstances, any other martial artist wouldn't be able to approach. Once you got close, you would have to endure the terrifying damage from the Rising Thunder Serpent's lightning.

But Lin Yan had cultivated Jade Lightning. These electrical rays were not unbearable for him. With the protection of his strange flame, he was as calm as if nothing had happened. Blow after blow, Lin Yan continued to ruthlessly strike the body of the Rising Thunder Serpent.

In the air, the illusory shadow of Yao Lao had been watching Lin Yan's entire fight. Originally, he thought that even for Lin Yan, fighting an opponent in the Creation Realm would be extremely difficult. He never expected the result to be so one-sided. So, when he saw this, even Yao Lao couldn't help but feel a twitch at the corner of his mouth. He said to himself, "I didn't expect this young man's current strength to be so terrifying. He could even fight this Rising Thunder Serpent across levels, and he didn't even use his trump card, the Hellfire Lotus. It seems that even if Lin Langtian came, he could face him."
