The Thunder God's Bulwark … an ultimate bulwark that could completely absorb lightning damage!
What the White Tiger had given him was an ability that allowed him to be completely immune to lightning damage, as well as absorb all forms of lightning damage!
Ling Chen was dumbfounded. He was sure that the White Tiger's ability was not to be underestimated, but he never thought that it would be such a heaven-defying ability. With the Thunder God's Bulwark's protection, not only would all lightning damage not cause any damage to Ling Chen, but it would also have positive effects on him. In other words, after the Aquarius Orb's ability to absorb water, he now had the ability to absorb lightning! Moreover, this ability could be stored for a long time, and could be released at any time, turning into lightning attacks of equal strength!
However, this was not the main point.
The first thing that Ling Chen thought of about this ability was' Heaven's Wrath '!
In the Forgotten Continent, the most direct form of Heaven's Wrath was Heavenly Tribulation Lightning! With the Thunder God's Bulwark, even Heaven's Wrath … would not be able to harm him!
"It really is … the legendary Thunder God's Bulwark."
Qi Yue's voice was light, but it was filled with deep shock and disbelief. She was much more familiar with the concept of the 'Thunder God's Bulwark' than Ling Chen. This blessing could only be used by adult White Tigers, and it could only be used once in a lifetime. After using it, one's power would be reduced by half a grade for 100 years. Thus, unless it was someone who was extremely important to it and the other party urgently needed it, the White Tiger would never disregard its mission to protect and cast this blessing that would greatly reduce its ability for a long time. The White Tiger's personality was incredibly unyielding, so it was impossible to force it to use this blessing.
Back then, before the Scarlet Flame Sword Emperor became a Shura, he had dreamed of obtaining the White Tiger's Thunder God's Bulwark. However, that was just a dream, and it was impossible for him to succeed. After he became a Shura, he attracted Heavenly Tribulation Lightning, and under the Heavenly Tribulation Lightning, he died at the hands of the Moon Deities. If he had the Thunder God's Bulwark back then, the Shura's fate would have been completely rewritten. The soul of Shura had once proudly said to Ling Chen, "If it weren't for the Heavenly Punishment, the Moon Deities and the Void Dragon God wouldn't have been able to do anything to me!"
Before the soul of Shura disappeared, he solemnly told Ling Chen that he had to find a way to resist the lightning … He was telling Ling Chen that compared to the Moon Deities Tribe and the Void Dragon God, the lightning was the scariest enemy.
And now, this legendary blessing, the ability that the Shura dreamed of, had appeared on Ling Chen, who had the Lunar Scourge.
Both Qi Yue and Ling Chen knew very well that the White Tiger had not given Ling Chen this blessing out of gratitude or recognition of his character and abilities. There was only one reason for the White Tiger to do so … and that was Little Gray, who had inherited the Holy Qilin's bloodline. The White Tiger's ability was born from the Holy Qilin. It did this to protect the last of the Holy Qilin's bloodline, lest it perish in the Heavenly Punishment.
"White Tiger, this gift … is too much." Ling Chen took a deep breath. He raised his hands, and there was still a pure purple glow in his palms that had not completely dissipated.
"I don't want you to die, because I don't want the last of the Holy Qilin's bloodline to disappear from the Mystic Moon Continent forever. Moreover, I'm about to die. If I don't use this blessing, it will follow me forever. " After using the ultimate blessing, the White Tiger's soul became even weaker, and its voice was almost inaudible. It focused the last of its consciousness on Little Gray. From the remnant of its soul, Ling Chen could feel a deep reluctance, as well as a sense of relief.
"This is simply … an opportunity that even the heavens are jealous of," Qi Yue said excitedly. She knew very well what this' White Tiger's Bulwark 'meant to Ling Chen, and what it meant to her. This blessing had evidently resolved the greatest danger that Ling Chen would face in the future, and it had also greatly increased his power. The current Qi Yue was so excited that she felt a bit hazy.
"This time, it was also Little Gray who brought me luck," Ling Chen said inwardly. He then gratefully said to the White Tiger, "In any case, I will always remember your kindness. This Thunder God's Bulwark has been of great help to me. "
The White Tiger's voice slowly sounded out in his heart, "For the Holy Qilin's bloodline, I don't regret this decision. However, I don't know if this is right or wrong. This is because I don't know if my actions have created … a Shura that is even more terrifying than the one from 10,000 years ago. "
Ling Chen completely understood what the White Tiger was saying. The Lunar Scourge could create Shuras. The Shura from 10,000 years ago was born because of the Lunar Scourge. However, at that time, the Shura was destroyed by the Heavenly Lightning. Now that the Lunar Scourge has reappeared, perhaps there is a possibility of creating another terrifying Shura. And this Shura … will no longer fear lightning because of the White Tiger. In that case, the White Tiger will become a sinner.
"Don't worry, although I have the Lunar Scourge, I won't become a Shura. This is because I have no reason to become a Shura … "After speaking, the 3 requirements for resurrection appeared in Ling Chen's mind. He paused for a moment before continuing in a low voice," At least, not now. "
The White Tiger was silent for a while before saying quietly, "You know the connection between the Lunar Scourge and the Shura … however, you don't seem to understand it thoroughly."
"Oh?" Ling Chen revealed a look of confusion.
"The Lunar Scourge has a curse called 'Heaven's Wrath'. This curse will cause its owner to walk on the path of 'Heaven's Wrath' … in other words, with the Lunar Scourge, whether or not one is willing, one will walk on … the path of the Shura! From ancient times until now, there has never been an exception. "
Ling Chen: "…"
"Definitely … Definitely … Could it be that … those who have the Lunar Scourge, even if they don't want to, even if they don't have a reason, will one day become a Shura? Including me, the owner of the Lunar Scourge? "Ling Chen's heartbeat slightly sped up as he asked with a frown.
The Lunar Scourge's 2 negative abilities are [Heaven's Jealousy] and [Heaven's Wrath]. [Heaven's Jealousy] Ling Chen had always suffered from it. [Heaven's Wrath] was something he didn't understand … What the White Tiger was describing was [Heaven's Wrath]!
"That's right." The White Tiger replied. It could feel the change in Ling Chen's mood, and continued, "However, you don't need to worry too much. To create a Shura, the Lunar Scourge needs at least 12 God Orbs. If you don't want to become a Shura, you only need to make sure that the number of God Orbs in the Lunar Scourge does not exceed 11. Moreover, even if you become a Shura … Perhaps you will be very different from the Shura of 10,000 years ago. "
"Different? Why would it be different? "Ling Chen asked in surprise.
"It's very simple, your mental energy is stronger than his, and much, much stronger. Being able to conquer the Lunar Scourge is enough to prove this. The Shura enters the path of killing. Once you enter the path of the Shura, you will have terrifying power, and all of your emotions and desires will be transformed into killing desire. This kind of killing desire will make the Shura want to kill people at all times. It was this kind of killing desire that caused the Shura to slaughter nearly 10% of all living things in the Forgotten Continent. As for Shuras, they are split into different types … one is the lowest type of Shura. This type of Shura has the killing desire of a Shura, but doesn't have the complete power of a Shura. This type of Shura doesn't deserve to be called a Shura, and at most is just a powerful killing demon. The second type is the Scarlet Flame Sword Emperor from 10,000 years ago. He has the killing desire of a Shura, as well as the complete power of a Shura. He is a Shura in the truest sense of the word. "
"These 2 types of Shura, are they both born from the Lunar Scourge?" Ling Chen asked.
"That's right." The White Tiger's remnant soul replied.
"They are both born from the Lunar Scourge, so why would they be different? Some of their power is complete, some of their power is incomplete … from your description, it seems that the degree of their incompleteness is quite large. "
"That's right, it's very large. It can't even be compared to a true Shura. However, as for why these 2 types were born, I have no way of knowing. Perhaps, it's because those low level 'Shuras' lack something, and are unable to truly enter the path of the Shura. "
"Lack something?" Ling Chen muttered to himself in confusion.
The White Tiger continued to speak: "Perhaps you will understand the answer to this question in the future. Furthermore, there is a third type of Shura, one that only exists in legends and has never appeared before, but could possibly appear on you. "
"A third type? There's a third type? What kind of Shura are they? "A Shura that only exists in legends and has never appeared before, but could possibly appear on him? Ling Chen's curiosity was completely piqued.
"The first type is a killing demon at the edge of the path of the Shura. The second type is a true Shura. The third type … has broken through the shackles of the Shura, surpassing the realm of the Shura's soul and power — the Shura Emperor. "
"Shura … Emperor?" This unfamiliar yet shocking name caused Ling Chen's heart to violently tremble.
"The Shura Emperor is more powerful than normal Shuras, but it will not lose its nature like normal Shuras. It has boundless killing intent, but can control it as it pleases. Its seven emotions and six sensory pleasures are almost the same as a normal person's. Shuras are known as the most terrifying beings in the world, and obtaining the Shura's power comes with the price of losing one's nature. However, after becoming a Shura Emperor, one's nature will not be affected by the Shura's power at all, and can even control one's seven emotions and six sensory pleasures. This kind of Shura is many times more powerful than normal Shuras … or even 10 times more powerful! "
10 times more powerful than a Shura … what kind of unimaginable realm would that be! Back then, Ling Chen had heard too many legends about how powerful the Shura had been. The price of obtaining the Shura's power was that all emotions would be turned into killing intent. In the Forgotten Continent's records, it was impossible for someone to have that kind of power and nature at the same time.
"How can I become that kind of Shura? Why do you say that I can become that kind of Shura? "Ling Chen hurriedly asked.
"The way to become a Shura Emperor is very simple, but to do it is as difficult as ascending to the heavens. That is … to use your own mental energy to forcefully suppress and destroy the killing intent brought about by the Shura's power! It sounds simple, but throughout the Forgotten Continent's history, there has never been a Shura who has been able to do it. You are the first human to conquer the Lunar Scourge. Although the Lunar Scourge's power is completely depleted, with the Holy Qilin's auspiciousness, this possibility really does exist. Back then, the prerequisite was that the legend of the 'Shura Emperor' was real. After all, no one has ever seen the Shura Emperor, and there is no record of the Shura Emperor's existence. There are only legends of unknown origins. "
