Hell Emperor.

Chapter 487 Xia Wei - Thunder Control
"...clouds act as drums and winds act as hammers, the Lightning Mother splits the precious golden awl. The Nine Heavens' decree spreads throughout the universe, and in an instant, dragons and snakes descend from the purple cypress."

In the bitter cold land, a girl with red eyes sat there. She had long, soft and boneless ears and her lips were divided into three parts. She was holding a book in both hands and reciting its contents carefully.

In front of her, Xia Wei concentrated and held her breath, quietly comprehending the contents of the martial arts formula, with a look of enlightenment on her face from time to time.

"By following the formula in this chapter, one can cultivate the unfathomable Purple Sky Divine Thunder... It is worthy of being the only way left by the Lady Xuannv. Even if one can only comprehend a little bit of it, it will be of infinite benefit to future cultivation."

Yao Bai closed the book, and there was a bit more longing and envy in her eyes. The powerful spells recorded in the Thunder Control Treasure Mirror were really beyond her understanding. Even when she was just reciting the contents, she entered a state of enlightenment several times, and her cultivation improved a lot.

"It's a pity that I just roughly read the above content just now. I only had a superficial understanding of most of the spells in it. If I want to gain a deeper understanding, I need to study it repeatedly day and night. Maybe it will take ten years, maybe a hundred years, to understand the true meaning of the unique method..." Thinking of this, Yao Bai couldn't help but sigh.

"I see."

After listening to Yao Bai's recitation, Xia Wei slowly opened her eyes. In the depths of her clear and translucent purple eyes, there flashed a blazing electric light that was as fleeting as a startled wild goose.

She stretched out her hand and a leaping silver arc suddenly appeared in her palm. As soon as it appeared, it swallowed up the light around it. The bright moonlight also became dim, as if it fell into a silent night. The only shining thing in the world was the silver arc in her palm.

Seeing that silver arc, Yao Bai's eyes immediately became dull:
"That is... the Mysterious Seed? You actually mastered the Imperial Lightning Treasure Mirror and condensed the Mysterious Seed in such a short time? How is this possible..."

Yao Bai opened her eyes wide with a look of disbelief. In her eyes, the Thunder Control Mirror was like a divine book. Xia Wei had only listened to it once, and yet she had learned this unique method. If this news got out, countless self-proclaimed geniuses would be shocked.

Xia Wei didn't answer, but just looked at the silver arc in her hand.

The control range of the Thunder Control Treasure Mirror covers all the strange thunders in the world, from the big ones like the Nine Heavens Mysterious Thunder and the Dutian Divine Thunder to the small ones like ordinary thunderclouds and rainy lightning, all are under the control of this method. The first step to controlling the strange thunder is to condense the corresponding thunder species.

Perhaps it was because she had absorbed half a wisp of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Demon in the past, Xia Wei was very adept at controlling the Mysterious Demon. As soon as she started learning the Thunder Control Treasure Mirror, the first thing she condensed was the Seed of the Mysterious Demon.

To Xia Wei, learning this unique method was so natural, as if it took no effort at all, just like learning an ordinary martial art. But in Yao Bai's eyes, it was quite shocking.

A melodious bell sounded from afar. Xia Wei raised her chin and looked in the direction where the sound came from.

"Let's go and settle accounts with the palace maid who used Moon Rabbit's life to test the elixir."

Xia Wei clenched her fists. Last time, she was defeated by the palace maid because she was unfamiliar with the moon's environment and it was difficult for her to perform earthly skills. Now she had to get back at her.

Yao Bai hesitated: "Are you really going? I thought you had changed your mind. What if the Moon Rabbits are punished because of you?"

Xia Wei didn't turn around, but just said: "You can stay here, you don't have to follow."

Yao Bai was a little anxious and stamped her feet. Even though Xia Wei said so, because it concerned the other Moon Rabbits, she still followed from a distance.

Following the loud sound of the bell, Xia Wei didn't walk far before she saw the Moon Rabbits gathered together waiting for the elixir, and also saw the palace maid in colorful plain clothes.

The palace maid held a basket in one hand and continuously distributed the newly improved elixir to the nearby moon rabbits, letting them spread the effect of the elixir to identify the quality of the elixir.

Although from time to time some Moon Rabbits fell to the ground twitching and died after eating elixirs that were too toxic, the palace maids never stopped and just kept urging the Moon Rabbits to eat quickly.

Seeing this scene, Xia Wei's heart trembled, and she felt reluctant and angry: "Stop! Don't hurt these innocent lives!"

Hearing the news from afar, the maid looked up in surprise. When she saw Xia Wei, her expression turned ugly: "It's you... How dare you come back? It seems that the lesson I gave you last time was not enough."

"So what if it's me? Stop testing the drug immediately. Otherwise, don't blame me for not warning you!" Xia Wei said loudly.

The maid didn't want to waste time talking to her. She waved her hand lightly, and a white flower blossomed in her palm: "It seems that you won't give up unless I teach you a lesson. In this case... Kuishui Yinlei!"

The lightning was so bright and dazzling that it almost blinded the surrounding creatures, causing them to turn their heads away.

Xia Wei's eyes narrowed. Last time, she was defeated by this move. Under the shining light, she could not open her eyes at all. Before she could see what was happening, her body was hit by the Kuishui Yin Lei. But this time, with the blessing of the Yu Lei Baojian, she could see the trajectory of the Kuishui Yin Lei clearly.

Unlike other thunders, the Kuishui Yin Lei did not fall from the sky, but spread along the veins of the earth and attacked directly towards him. No wonder he had not been able to defend against it before.

"Seed of Xuansha!"

Xia Wei took a deep breath, and faced with the fierce Kuishui Yin Lei, she did not even try to avoid it. She raised her hand, and the silver arc in her palm suddenly bloomed.

As the thunder approached, the Xuansha Seed was stimulated and its light became stronger and stronger, and then condensed into a dazzling light shield, blocking all the incoming Yin thunder. It was like a stubborn reef under the raging waves, and no matter how the waves rushed, it remained unmoved.

"what?"

Seeing this, even the palace maids were stunned. It had only been a few days since they last saw the girl who had no power to fight back under the Kuishui Yin Lei and was easily defeated by her last time, now actually mastered the method to fight against the Kuishui Yin Lei?

Not only that, what surprised her even more was what happened next. After absorbing enough Yin Lei power, the Xuansha light shield in front of Xia Wei changed again at this moment, and then condensed into extremely pure Xuansha, launching a counterattack against her!

As Xuansha appeared, the sky and the earth suddenly changed color. Compared with Kuishui Yinlei, it was basically one in heaven and one underground. It was the true evolution of the unique method.

The silver dragon flew past, and there was a loud explosion. The palace maid didn't even have the strength to resist. She flew backwards, hit the thick palace wall, and fell heavily to the ground. She looked at Xia Wei with eyes still filled with disbelief. She didn't believe that all this happened. "Nine Heavens Mysterious Thunder? This is impossible... How can you control such a divine thunder?"

The palace maid looked horrified and could not believe that she had been defeated.

"Do you understand how powerful this is now? Stop hurting those innocent lives." Xia Wei said angrily.

The palace maid gritted her teeth secretly, reached into her bosom, and took out a bright red pill that exuded a strong energy of blood and qi. Just as she was about to swallow it, she was suddenly blocked by a white arm stretched out from behind.

"Stop it, you are a guest, why bother to fight to the death? After taking this soul burning pill, maybe you can defeat her, but after that, you can only reincarnate."

Xia Wei also noticed the fairy behind her. She had silver hair like a waterfall and a polite smile on her face, but her eyes were distant and cold.

The palace maid struggled to support her severely injured body, struggled to get up from the ground, and said respectfully: "Master Yao Luan, that troublemaker actually bumped into you, he really deserves death."

The fairy named Yao Luan waved her hand and said, "It's okay. I just heard some noise and came to check it out. Is this the person who knocked on the palace gate and disturbed the peace a few days ago?"

Xia Wei stared at her with a bit of doubt in her eyes, and asked Yao Bai behind her: "Who is she? She looks like someone important."

Yao Bai was a little surprised, and took a deep breath and said, "You don't even know who she is? That's right, you are not from here. Fairy Yao Luan is the most famous alchemist in the palace. Ordinary alchemy saints are like children who have just learned to walk in front of her. She is only one step away from crossing the boundary and entering the legendary supreme realm of alchemy."

"Really..." Xia Wei understood the situation, looked at Fairy Yao Luan, and said bluntly, "Since you have such a high status, then quickly tell the people here to stop using the Moon Rabbit to test the elixir, otherwise..."

Fairy Yao Luan shook her head, not feeling threatened at all: "The matter of testing the elixir involves a lot of things, far beyond what I can decide alone. Even if I agree to you, the other fairies in the palace will not agree. This matter will not end until the elixir of immortality is improved."

Yao Bai also echoed, "Yes, we Yuetu have all sacrificed ourselves for this great ideal. If we stop now, won't all our previous sacrifices be in vain? Besides, when the elixir of immortality is refined, many people will benefit from it. Compared with this, the sacrifices now are worth it."

Xia Wei just shook her head and said seriously, "It's not worth it. Even if the elixir of life can really be refined, how many people can enjoy it? The life of every living being is very precious. Even if you have to sacrifice, you should sacrifice for something more valuable. How can you sacrifice for something like this?"

Seeing that Xia Wei could not be persuaded, Fairy Yao Luan had to look away and instead looked at the palace maid beside her: "You were injured on duty, and your life span has been greatly reduced. You can use this life span to refine it."

As she spoke, Fairy Yao Luan took out a small pearl-like ball and handed it to the palace maid. The palace maid thanked her respectfully and left with the ball.

"What is that..." Xia Wei's eyes trembled, with a hint of disbelief in her eyes, "You said that's Yang Shou? How is that possible?"

Fairy Yao Luan frowned slightly: "What's the big deal? Don't you know that the core material for refining the elixir of immortality is the life span of the world?"

Xia Wei gritted her teeth, and some bad memories came to her mind: "Where did you get these lives from? Tell me now!"

Fairy Yao Luan glanced at her and answered truthfully: "Do you think we, the fairies of the Moon Palace, would lower our status to snatch the life span of ordinary people? These life spans were of course purchased through legal means."

Xia Wei raised her eyebrows and growled sharply, "How can you use the lives of ordinary people to make elixirs? Don't you know that these lives are stained with the blood and tears of ordinary people, and countless people have been displaced because of this? Even if you buy them, it won't work!"

Fairy Yao Luan frowned. Xia Wei's reaction was really beyond her expectations:
"We have already paid spirit stones to Wanshou City for these lives. As for what we want to do with these lives, no one else has the right to interfere."

Xia Wei's eyes flashed with a fierce light: "Do you think it's okay to buy it? What you do is no different from those who eat meat but say it's not killed for me? If you didn't need life span, the life span trade might not exist at all. It's you who have caused suffering to those who have lost their life span. All this is because of you!"

Fairy Yao Luan argued, "We are not the only ones who need longevity. There are many immortals and mortals as well. They just add the longevity they bought to themselves. We use our longevity to refine the elixir of immortality for a more ambitious goal. Why do you only blame us?"

"Because I saw it! If I had seen them, I would have told them they were wrong!"

Xia Wei raised her chin, with a proud light in the depths of her bright eyes. No matter who was standing in front of her, no matter what their status and position were, she would distinguish right from wrong with them. As long as she saw something, she would never sit idly by.

"That's ridiculous... In my opinion, you have gone astray."

Fairy Yao Luan's face also darkened. Anyone who was constantly accused without reason would have the same reaction.

Xia Wei's eyes focused and her back slightly arched, ready for battle. No matter what move Fairy Yao Luan made, she would take it all.

The two of them were facing each other from a distance, and the tense atmosphere was suddenly broken by the words of Fairy Yao Luan. She waved her hand, as if she had no intention of fighting with Xia Wei, and took the initiative to give in:

"It's not impossible to stop using the Moon Rabbit to test the pills, but the pills that the alchemists are constantly improving still need to be tested on other creatures. If you can find someone who is immune to all poisons and can withstand the many poisons of the pills, maybe you can let that person test the pills instead of the Moon Rabbit."

"Invulnerable to all poisons?"

Xia Wei was stunned. Being immune to all poisons was one of her nine innate magical powers. She immediately said, "I have the innate magical power you mentioned."

"Really?" Fairy Yao Luan was a little skeptical. How could such a coincidence happen in the world? Then she warned, "Are you going to test the elixir on behalf of those moon rabbits? If you lie, you will be poisoned by the elixir and your soul will be shattered."

Xia Wei took a deep breath and prepared herself mentally. She immediately picked up the medicine basket that the palace maid had just dropped and swallowed the pills of unknown effect one after another like candy beans. Soon, a huge amount of heat began to surge from her limbs.
