Chapter 93: Rank Six Breakthrough

Lu Zheng, Themur and the others sat in a flying carriage fully immersed in their cultivation.

After Themur had explained what brought him to Dying Flame Purgatory, Lu Zheng decided to follow them to Firestone Valley.

It was only after two days that they all reached the place Sanchez and Juanfran referred to as Firestone Valley.

The valley was a river of yellow water that flowed through the middle of two similar mountains.

From a certain angle, the mountains resembled a heavily gifted woman lying on her back in the sand.

The valley had numerous fire path and water path dao imprints that made Lu Zheng marvel. There were also a few earth path dao imprints in the valley.

Lu Zheng acknowledged the might of the Heavenly Dao.

Firestone Valley had numerous fire path and water path dao imprints that did not conflict with one another.

Instead, they resonated with one another and formed a small scale resource point.

As Lu Zheng and the others descended, they could see the many beasts that lived in Firestone Valley.

Most of these beasts were rank five and they were mostly fire path or water path attributed.

A few earth path beasts could also be seen.

The closer the group got to the river, the more they could sense the presence of extreme yang energy.

The fire path dao imprints were the dominant dao imprints in the valley due to its sheer amount. The water path dao imprints were also numerous but they were not comparable to the fire path dao imprints.

The temperature around the group continued to rise as they neared the river till it reached two hundred degrees Celsius.

If the river was made up of mortal water, it would have evaporated long ago.

It was also at this moment that Themur finally absorbed enough fire Qi from a firestone and broke through to rank six!

In the sky, dark clouds appeared out of nowhere, blotting out the blue sky. Blue lightning crawled through the dark clouds, sending a chill down Themur's spine.

"You're about to breakthrough?" Lu Zheng asked.

He knew that the firestones would aid Themur to breakthrough to the next rank but Lu Zheng had not expected it to be so soon.

"I'm afraid so" Themur gazed at the dark clouds that threatened to blast him into oblivion.

The rest of the group were surprised but they understood. A firestone contained fire Qi equivalent to that of an Acquisition realm expert.

"Prack!"

Without warning, the first bolt of blue lightning descended upon Themur but before hitting him, something astonishing happened.

The bolt that originally travelled in a straight line suddenly coiled before wrapping around Themur gently, as if afraid to hurt him.

"What the…"

The four people were all surprised at the strange turn of events until the Blazing Hound suddenly said: "It's the senior!"

The rest of the group turned to Lu Zheng and saw a small blue light on a finger of his which was extended outwards.

"So senior cultivates lightning path" They all realised.

Thunder boomed fiercely within the dark clouds as if the Heavenly Dao was angry saying: "I gave you a gift and you use it against me?!"

Themur gasped when he realised what was happening: "Lu Zheng is a tribulation cheat code!"

Lu Zheng's control over lightning was exquisite.

The blue lightning gently snaked around Themur, allowing him to receive the stinging effect of the lightning slowly.

Before they knew it, the first bolt of blue lightning dissipated but Lu Zheng was not done.

"Lightning, come" Lu Zheng made a tugging gesture at the sky as fifty three bolts of blue lightning poked out of the dark clouds.

Everyone was surprised: "Senior wants to summon all the lightning bolts at once?"

"Such a thing, I've never seen before"

Even Themur was surprised but his expression was grim since he was the one at the receiving end of the stick.

He looked at Lu Zheng and said coarsely: "Lu Zheng…"

"Don't worry, I'll be gentle" Lu Zheng said calmly.

Sanchez's ears twitched at those words.

The fifty three bolts of blue lightning converged into one single bolt under Lu Zheng's control.

The Heavenly Dao roared in anger as thunder boomed loudly. Lu Zheng was going against nature!

The might of the blue lightning tribulation rose tremendously as the blue lightning bolt turned into the faintest tinge of purple.

The blue lightning and encroached upon the limits between a blue lightning tribulation and a purple lightning tribulation.

Even Acquisition realm experts feared purple lightning greatly. Themur was only a rank five beast…

Themur gulped in fear as the bolt of lightning descended towards him.

Time seemed to slow down to milliseconds as the lightning bolt was millimetres away from striking Themur.

All of a sudden, the lightning bolt bent around Themur, crawling along his golden fur.

Themur's fur stood on its ends as the lightning snaked around his body under Lu Zheng's control.

Slowly, the lightning began to sting Themur, sending millions of volts into his body.

Themur controlled his Qi as purple flames took ablaze on his body.

Even as Lu Zheng controlled the intensity to the very minimum, Themur felt like he could die from the pain.

As this happened, a new edge began to sprout on the red prism that was Themur's beast core.

After a few second which felt like eternity to Themur, the lightning bolt that snaked around him dissipated and he gained a new edge on his beast core breaking through to rank six!
