The difficulty of refining the Eternal Night Thunder Sword was greater than Yan Zhaoge had expected.
However, this instead caused Yan Zhaoge to feel rather joyful, as he sensed that this treasure before him was even more powerful than he had expected.
Due to the limitations of his cultivation base, Lin Zhou was unable to wield its full power.
The Eternal Night Thunder Sword also placed a huge burden on Lin Zhou. Each time he wielded it, activating the Thunder of Eternal Night, Lin Zhou's own body would be affected instead.
Of course, this sword also brought Lin Zhou immense benefits. Just like how Yan Zhaoge had stored the Eye of the Thunder Emperor fragment in his right eye, Lin Zhou was also nourishing the sword with his own body.
As it nourished and refined the Eternal Night Thunder Sword, the sword-intent of thunder was also imperceptibly nourishing the qi and blood of Lin Zhou's fleshly body.
Darkness did not mean evil. Pure darkness also had the effect of nurturing life, like a baby in its mother's womb.
When used against enemies, the Thunder of Eternal Night was extremely ferocious, the darkness suppressing and robbing the opponent of their sensory abilities. When the silvery white light of thunder exploded, it could destroy all things.
However, when used to nourish a martial practitioner's body, the effects were extremely good, even better than the Eye of the Thunder Emperor fragment that produced An Instant's Thunder.
Carefully analysing the aura contained within the Eternal Night Thunder Sword, Yan Zhaoge could not help but nod repeatedly, "While it is ranked ninth amongst the Nine Heavenly Immortal Thunders, the weakest in terms of pure destructive power and inferior to the sixth-ranked An Instant's Thunder, it still has its own unique aspects."
While the Eye of the Thunder Emperor had been a Sacred Artifact in the past, it had been broken at the end of the day. Yan Zhaoge currently only possessed a fragment.
The concept of An Instant's Thunder within was violent, yet incomplete.
Instead, while this Eternal Night Thunder Sword before him could not be compared to the Eye of the Thunder Emperor in terms of quality, the essence condensed from the Thunder of Eternal Night within was comparatively complete.
Quietly analysing its profundities, Yan Zhaoge was gradually able to come into contact with some of the unique aspects of this Nine Heavenly Immortal Thunders.
Other than the aura of the Thunder of Eternal Night, carefully analysing the sword-intent condensed from this Immortal Thunder, Yan Zhaoge could also feel that it was rather unusual.
"This Sword Intent is capable of stirring up thunder in silence. It's quite compatible with the Thunder of Eternal Night. No wonder it's so compatible …
After refining the Eternal Night Thunder Sword, Yan Zhaoge reined in his thoughts of letting things go as he swept his gaze over the area, seeing that Ah Hu and Pan-Pan were still clashing with some Flame Devils.
Flashing the dark red ring, the aura of the Flame Demon Emperor within it immediately attracted the attention of all the Flame Demons present, causing their bodies to stiffen and tremble at the same time.
There were no Great Flame Devils present. Flame Devils with lower cultivation bases were all affected by this ring to varying degrees.
Yan Zhaoge did not waste time on words as Heaven Shocker appeared once more, arrows shooting out in rapid succession as a Devil Shattering Ice Talisman was shot out.
The golden light intertwined with purple lightning exploded in the deep sea, and a surging chill instantly swept out, freezing a large amount of seawater.
Although the surrounding environment was surging with underground fire and the seawater was boiling, the temperature was also dropping rapidly.
Trapped by the glacier, the Flame Demon's power was suppressed and its movements were restricted.
Yan Zhaoge's sword resembled a dragon as he joined hands with Ah Hu and Pan-Pan to go on a killing spree, breaking out of the encirclement.
Having arrived in the distance, looking back, Yan Zhaoge saw that the underwater mountain range with the deep abyss of flames as its centre had already been completely obscured by a massive vortex.
The vortex expanded outward to a certain extent before finally stopping.
However, the ice and fire continued to interweave and spin, forming a terrifying vortex that showed no signs of slowing down. It lasted for a long time.
The reefs of the underwater mountain range in the vicinity of the vortex broke apart unceasingly, a great amount of underground fire spurting out unceasingly, just like the entire Outer East Sea earlier.
The seawater was boiled, a great amount of steam rising. Gazing into the distance, it was all white.
Instead, with this place as its centre, the Fire Pith Veins that had been wreaking havoc in the surrounding region of sea earlier had now settled, regaining their former calm.
The situation of the two, as compared to before, was exactly reversed.
However, this was only in the vicinity of this region of sea. Continuing into the distance, the other areas of the Outer East Sea were still filled with scenes of the end of the world, of the jade sea having transformed into a fiery hell.
Standing beside Yan Zhaoge, Ah Hu still had the appearance of that Martial Grandmaster of the Heavenly Thunder Hall surnamed Zhang.
For the duration of the Imitation Killing Jade's effect, he would always maintain this appearance.
However, this state could be dispelled prematurely if the user so wished.
That skinny body abruptly straightened, the bones of his entire body emitting crackling sounds.
The previous' senior apprentice-brother Zhang 'abruptly grew taller by almost two heads, his body also turning from skinny to muscular.
Ah Hu regained his original appearance, stroking his lower chin, "Young Master, this Imitation Killing Jade is really useful. Sadly, there is only one."
"This time, you really took on a great risk." Yan Zhaoge's gaze was still gazing in the direction of the vortex, "Under normal circumstances, for the Imitation Killing Jade to be used for impersonation, it is either to deal with people who are unfamiliar with the impersonator, or it is like that Black Nightmare Mountain bastard back then, where you are extremely familiar with the impersonator."
"Otherwise, even if the external appearance is the same, if the expression, tone and habits of the impersonator are greatly different from the impersonator, those who are familiar with the impersonator would feel suspicious upon seeing it."
"While it is possible to imitate the other party's inner qi, it can only be done in a situation where an intense battle is not taking place. If the other party becomes suspicious, as soon as they make a move to test it out, it will immediately be seen through."
Yan Zhaoge said, "This time, it was because of the urgency of the situation, the other party's attention not on you. Otherwise, it would have been very dangerous for you."
Ah Hu chuckled, "Their attention is all on you, Young Master. While I seem to be in danger, I am actually safe."
Yan Zhaoge nodded, his gaze fixed on the massive vortex of ice and fire in the distance.
There, as time passed, the vortex of ice and fire finally began to gradually weaken, slowly dissipating.
Ah Hu smacked his lips, "Young Master, don't tell me that we have to follow the veins, destroying them bit by bit? There are probably hundreds of such nodes in the entire Outer East Sea, if not a thousand ah! "
Yan Zhaoge shook his head, "It's no use. The momentum of the Flame Devils has already been established. Just destroying these nodes would only be treating the symptoms and not the root of the problem. Carefully observe the surroundings."
Hearing his words, Ah Hu touched the back of his head, looking around earnestly, his expression gradually turning solemn.
Because he discovered that as time passed, the nearby region of sea which had originally already been relatively calm showed signs of restlessness once more.
The underwater mountain range broke apart once more, the underground fire which had retreated earlier showing signs of eruption once more.
The surrounding seawater which had been isolated by his aura-qi could clearly feel its temperature rising.
Yan Zhaoge suddenly laughed, "The numerous veins of the nodes intersect, resembling a massive net that encompasses the entire Outer East Sea. As long as a single node is destroyed, not much time would be needed. With the combined effects of the entire net, it would be able to cause this corner which had calmed down to erupt once more."
"However, this kind of movement originates from the centre of the net, causing the entire net to move together."
Ah Hu came to a realisation, "Young Master, this is your true goal in destroying this node, to test the waters?"
Yan Zhaoge gazed in a certain direction, "That's right. Through the restoration of this node and investigating the flow of the power of the net, we will be able to ascertain where its centre is. That is where the crux of the problem lies."
Letting out a long breath, Yan Zhaoge patted Pan-Pan beneath him, "Now, let's set off."
