Hell Emperor.

Chapter 493 Xia Wei - Thunder Seed
A place where the moonlight condenses.

Xia Wei concentrated and held her breath, trying to comprehend the profound meaning of the technique.

The bright light spread all over her face, adding a touch of otherworldly aura to her pretty face, but her slightly furrowed brows broke the comfort around her body, as if her heart was deeply troubled by something and she could not find a way to escape.

In a trance, the immortal energy circulating in her body suddenly stopped. She opened her eyes, but a trickle of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth. The bright red blood left a shocking mark on her fair skin.

"Are you ok?"

Beside Xia Wei, Yao Bai's eyes flickered, he subconsciously shrank back and asked.

"It's nothing... I just went wrong when studying the Imperial Lightning Treasure Mirror. Is it because I was too impatient and progressed too fast? Just now when I was practicing, I even had some signs of going astray. This has never happened before."

Xia Wei stood up and wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, but the anxiety in her eyes did not diminish.

The Thunder Control Mirror that Taiyin Star Lord took out is one of the very few unique methods that is not suppressed by the rules of the moon. This book carries Xia Wei's hope of escaping from this place and reuniting with her family. She must make more progress.

For this reason, even though she had a clear premonition that she was becoming obsessed with this technique, Xia Wei still did not dare to stop for a moment. Instead, she put more energy into focusing on the technique itself, trying to tough it out. As a result, she suffered backlash and internal injuries.

Yao Bai seemed to remember something and reminded:
"You asked me to find out about the Marigold, and I have already found out. In a moment, that Shenzhou and the life on board will reach the moon."

Hearing this, Xia Wei's eyes lit up. This was the opportunity she had been waiting for for a long time. She had studied the Thunder Control Mirror diligently, and was willing to take the risk of becoming possessed in order to learn this technique faster, just to prepare for this moment.

As long as she could seize the Marigold, she would have a third-grade divine ship that could sail across the void, enough to cross the boundless universe, return to the human world, and be with her family.

"Great, I'll go grab that Shenzhou now."

Xia Wei's eyes were determined. The Marigold was carrying all the life spans that the Yin merchants had plundered from the human world. Countless poor people had lost their lives for this. She was acting in the name of justice by stealing the Shenzhou.

Yao Bai seemed to remember something, and his slightly red eyes were filled with deep worry:

"I heard from other Moon Rabbits that the life span carried by the Marigold is of great importance, and the surrounding defenses are extremely strict, and there are many immortal officials guarding it. Ordinary people are no match for those immortal officials. If you insist on stealing it, I'm afraid you will not end well..."

Xia Wei shook her head, unmoved, with rage burning in her eyes:

"I don't want to wait any longer. Who knows if there will be another opportunity like this next time? I want to see which immortal officials have fallen into depravity and become involved with those who seek to extort the lifespan of the living. These people are not worthy of being immortal officials. Let me eradicate these parasites!"

After saying that, Xia Wei didn't care about Yao Bai and walked out alone.

Yao Bai stood there in a daze for a while, but finally followed. However, when she thought about what Xia Wei was going to do, she didn't dare to follow so closely, and just stayed behind at a considerable distance.

The bright starlight streaked across the sky, so conspicuous in this dark universe. Even from a long distance away, Xia Wei could rely on the enhanced vision of the Purple Demon Pupil to see the full picture of the starlight.

It was a huge Shenzhou. Its shell was not made of wood, as was common in human life as a walking boat, but of steel that reflected light. It looked like a giant black beast that had come across a long journey.

Outside Shenzhou, there is a circle of gorgeous golden petals, which conceal the coldness of the steel underneath with its fresh and pleasant vitality, and those blooming flowers are the marigolds that only exist in the world.

"coming……"

Seeing the Marigold appear in the sky, Xia Wei's eyes trembled, and she felt her blood rushing and her heartbeat quickened.

The hope of reuniting with her family is right before her eyes, and this time, she cannot fail at all!

Not long after they walked, before they reached the pier where the Shenzhou ship was parked, Xia Wei caught a glimpse of a familiar figure.

"Where are you going?"

The person who appeared in front of her was Fairy Yao Luan, whom she had met once. It was from Fairy Yao Luan that Xia Wei learned that the immortals here were using the lifespans of ordinary people to make elixirs.

Compared with the simple attire she wore last time, this time, Fairy Yao Luan was fully dressed, with the shining magic weapon Thunder Flag at hand, and it seemed that she came with ill intentions.

Seeing this, Xia Wei was not going to be polite with her and said sternly: "Where I go seems to be none of your business!"

Fairy Yao Luan sighed softly. Although Xia Wei did not say it explicitly, her attitude said it all: "It seems that you did not listen to my warning, but insisted on taking action against the merchants of Wanshou Country."

Xia Wei snorted coldly. She always disdained things that were hidden. Not only did she want to take away Shenzhou, she also wanted to kill those evildoers:

"So what? Are you going to stop me? The people there are robbing the lives of all living beings and making the world miserable. I am killing them to enforce justice. I am doing what is just!"

Fairy Yao Luan did not give up and continued to persuade him, "The merchants from Wanshou Country are honored guests of the palace. Without the life span they provide, the elixir of immortality cannot be refined. If the palace becomes hostile to them because of you, the efforts of countless alchemists and countless moon rabbits over the years will be wasted..."

"You all did it wrong! If you did it wrong, it's wrong. Why do you have so many excuses? Do you have to keep making the same mistake over and over again just because you're worried about the losses you've suffered before?"

Xia Wei's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and her eyebrows were raised. She no longer wanted to waste time talking to Fairy Yao Luan: "If you continue to stop me, you will be my enemy!"

The Qingfeng sword was unsheathed, and dazzling thunder surrounded it, making crackling sounds.

Feeling the power contained in the thunder, Fairy Yao Luan's expression changed slightly: "Your strength... This is impossible. It's only been a few days since I last saw you, and you have made such progress..."

Carefully feeling the power of thunder, Fairy Yao Luan's eyes revealed a hint of disbelief.

Last time, although Xia Wei showed extraordinary strength and defeated the palace maid outside the palace, her control over thunder was very limited. In front of Fairy Yao Luan, she could not make any waves at all. At best, she was just a baby who had just found a sword. However, only a few days later, from the thunder displayed by Xia Wei, Fairy Yao Luan actually felt a bit of a fatal threat.

You know, although Xia Wei has improved her realm with the help of the elixir, she is only at the third level, while Fairy Yao Luan has reached the sixth level. In terms of realm alone, it can be said that they are as different as heaven and earth. It is not an exaggeration to describe them as separated by a chasm.

From ancient times to the present, not many immortals have been able to defeat enemies at the sixth level with the third level of realm. If one tells others about it, they will surely laugh at others and think it is unrealistic.

With every transformation at the immortal level, the strength can undergo earth-shaking changes. To cross a major realm to fight an enemy is enough to stump 99% of the immortals, let alone someone like Xia Wei who spans three major realms?

The threat also made one thing clear to Fairy Yao Luan, that is, Xia Wei in front of her was already a powerful enemy who was able to stand shoulder to shoulder with her, and no matter how much she looked down on her, she could not change this.

If Fairy Yao Luan knew that Xia Wei had defeated the godly incarnation of Xuannv and thwarted the angry Heaven when she had just become a fairy, I wonder what she would feel.

"So what if I have some strength? Don't think that I have been training for a thousand years in vain. Thunder of the Battle!"

Fairy Yao Luan's eyes turned cold. She had tried to dissuade him again and again, but the other party insisted on doing so and refused to turn back until he hit the wall. In this case, it seems that she has to use her strength to make him understand.

Fairy Yao Luan waved the thunder flag, and for a moment there was a bright flash of lightning and a continuous roar. Countless thunders sounded at the same time, there were more than tens of millions of them, as if the angry gods were pouring down, and were about to drown the enemy completely with thunder.

Thunder is the manifestation of the power of heaven. Ordinary people would be frightened out of their wits just by seeing it. They would completely lose the courage to fight again and would not even think of resisting.

Xia Wei's face remained calm, not at all intimidated by the huge noise. Having witnessed the horror of world-destroying thunder calamities, this kind of thunder was nothing in her eyes.

She slowly raised her hand, and a clear mark bloomed on her palm, like a blooming white lotus. It was a sign of the manifestation of the thunder seed. A circle of white barrier came into being, completely covering her figure.

Thunder roared down, but Xia Wei remained unmoved. The huge thunder struck the barrier but failed to splash any water, as if it was only strong on the outside but weak on the inside. Instead, the energy was absorbed by the barrier, making the thunder patterns on Xia Wei's palm more rich and lifelike.

Seeing this, Fairy Yao Luan cried out that it was impossible. Her thunderous power had frightened countless immortals and killed countless demons. It had taken her thousands of years to refine it, but in front of Xia Wei, it couldn't even blast open the barrier. It seemed like just a lot of noise but no action.

After careful observation, Fairy Yao Luan also understood something: "I see... It seems that you are indeed superior in lightning spells, and you can actually resist my thunder. However, as long as I occupy the thunderclouds at the top, no matter how good you are at lightning spells, you will have nowhere to use your strength."

After some observation, Fairy Yao Luan quickly came up with an idea. With thousands of years of combat experience, she immediately knew what to do.

When immortals who are good at thunder spells fight each other, occupying the sky with thunderclouds is the crucial first step.

Thunder comes from the sky. As long as you occupy the entire sky with your thunderclouds in advance and don't give the enemy a chance to occupy the sky, the enemy will not be able to call for thunder to strike you. Even if you master the most sophisticated thunder magic, you can't do anything without the rice.

Generally speaking, if two Thunder Immortals are equally matched, the battle for the sky through thunderclouds will inevitably be a head-on confrontation, which can also reflect the trend of the battle. The more sky the thunderclouds occupy, the more thunder will be summoned, thus completely suppressing the opponent.

At this moment, although Fairy Yao Luan failed in her martial arts, she had an absolute advantage in her realm.

Six turns versus three turns, the crushing realm made Fairy Yao Luan fully confident that she could occupy the entire sky, leaving no chance for Xia Wei to fight for the thunderclouds. No matter how amazing her skills were, she could only struggle to hold on under her offensive, and there would always be a moment when she would reveal a flaw.

After making up her mind, Fairy Yao Luan took action immediately. Fairy light burst out from the Thunder Flag, and rolling thunderclouds spread in all directions. After confirming that her thunder had completely occupied the sky and even the brilliance of the stars was completely obscured, she looked at Xia Wei with a triumphant look:
"Give up, and let this matter go. The sky belongs to me now, and your thundercloud has no place to stay. Or do you want to bring trouble upon yourself?"

In an ordinary duel between Thunder Immortals, when seeing that the opponent has such an advantage, most of them would have no choice but to admit defeat. It would be meaningless to continue struggling.

However, Xia Wei's eyes made Fairy Yao Luan change color slightly.

Those were a pair of unforgettable eyes, as bright as dew and lightning, which contained both stubbornness and determination to never give up. Under those eyes, it was absolutely impossible to make her admit defeat. Instead, it was Fairy Yao Luan who had the upper hand and became her prey.

"So what if the sky gives it to you? Try this move, Kuishui Yinlei!"

Xia Wei's eyes darkened, and lightning patterns bloomed on her palms. As the skills were activated, blazing thunder moved along the ground like a dragon moving through the earth, leaving a long mark on the surface, as if something was about to break out of the ground and bombard Fairy Yao Luan.

"Sunflower Water Thunder? This is impossible..."

Fairy Yao Luan's pupils shrank. There are so many kinds of thunder in the world, and among them there are many special kinds of thunder that can be emitted without the help of thunderclouds at the top.

Kuishui Yin Lei is one of them. It is not born from the sky, but is emitted from the ground. It is even more difficult to guard against in actual combat. Even if thunderclouds occupy the entire sky, it is useless.

There was a loud bang, and the Yin thunder came in an instant. Fairy Yao Luan, who was making hand gestures on the spot, was hit by the thunder before she could react. Her charred body flew backwards and fell heavily to the ground.

Feeling the intense pain, Fairy Yao Luan also revealed a bitter smile. She had not expected that she would be defeated by Xia Wei, whose realm was far inferior to hers.

However, there was one thing that puzzled her. She asked in a weak and trembling voice, "Sunflower Water Thunder is a secret technique of the palace... It is impossible for ordinary people to learn it. How did you learn it..."

Xia Wei did not answer, but just looked at the lotus-shaped lightning pattern on the palm of her hand.

With the blessing of the Imperial Thunder Mirror, the last time she fought against the palace maid, she used the Thunder Seed to receive the Kuishui Yin Lei. The Thunder Seed then contained the pattern of the Kuishui Yin Lei. As Xia Wei gradually comprehended it, she was able to use the power of the Kuishui Yin Lei in turn.

In addition to the Kuishui Yin Lei, the Guan Dou Ming Lei performed by Fairy Yao Luan was also recorded by the thunder seed, which added different thunder patterns to its surface. With time, Xia Wei will be able to exert this power. The Yulei Baojian is indeed as described by Taiyin Xingjun, the supreme method to control all thunders in the world.

Xia Wei did not have any murderous intent, and she ignored the fallen Fairy Yao Luan and continued moving forward past her.

"Do you think you can take the Marigold away by defeating me? The strength of the immortal officials guarding there is beyond my reach. If you go there now, you will only regret it..."

Fairy Yao Luan's voice was getting farther and farther away. Xia Wei walked forward alone with determined eyes.
