Chapter 358: Silver Lightning Stone

"So, when do you usually get silver lightning bolts?" asked Xiang Shaoyun .

"It depends . Some months we get it twice, and sometimes we only get one every few months," answered the wolf king honestly .

"I see . " Xiang Shaoyun sank into thought .

"Young master, I thought you had a way to lure lightning bolts? You can give it a try," said Devouring Ghost .

"Yes, I do, but it's only useful for ordinary lightning bolts," said Xiang Shaoyun .

"Natural lightning bolts all have some sort of resonance with each other . Perhaps it will work," said Devouring Ghost .

Xiang Shaoyun gave it some thought before his gaze landed on the lightning wolf . "You should have some unique object here in your territory capable of attracting them, right? Otherwise, the silver lightning wouldn't show up so frequently . Can I know what item it is?"

Xiang Shaoyun was a quick-witted person and, after a short thought, was able to figure out the reason for there to be frequent silver lightning bolts .

Devouring Ghost slapped his forehead and said, "Right, there must be some unique object here related to silver lightning . Young master, you're smart!"

The wolf king's pupils shrank as he answered, "N-no, there's no such thing . "

"Hmph . You dare lie?" Jin Wo could sense that the wolf king was lying . He shouted with a ferocious expression on his face, and his boundless demonic aura roiled out again .

The pressure from the demonic aura tormented the wolf king greatly, causing him to quickly submit . "Y-yes, we actually have a silver lightning stone here, which is why we frequently get silver lightning . "

"Silver lightning stone? That is an excellent lightning-elemental material," said Du Xuanhao, who had been staying silent .

Xiang Shaoyun exclaimed joyfully, "Looks like it won't be long before I become a King . "

The silver lightning stone was a stone that had undergone a huge transformation after bathing in silver lightning, obtaining a unique property that made it resonate with silver lightning . Because of that, places with the stone would attract frequent silver lightning bolts .

Apart from attracting silver lightning bolts, the silver lightning stone also contained a large amount of silver lightning energy . For a cultivator focusing on the power of lightning, the stone was extremely helpful . At the same time, it was also an excellent material for forging lightning-elemental items .

Thanks to the purple lightning bone, Xiang Shaoyun had an innate lightning power within him . Because of that, lightning-elemental materials were extremely helpful to him as well . Under the suppression of Jin Wo's demonic aura, the wolf king was forced to obediently bring Xiang Shaoyun's group to the silver lightning stone .

Soon, they arrived at the lair of the silver-winged lightning wolves . Here, one could see a silver stone as glossy as jade . It was round with a silvery radiance swirling about its sleek surface, emanating an intense lightning power that caused there to be no life within a radius of 100 meters . Even some low-leveled silver-winged lightning wolves did not dare to approach the stone, and they only dared to absorb lightning energy from far away .

Lightning condor king's eyes became burning hot with desire when he saw the stone . He also cultivated the power of lightning, and the silver lightning stone would be very useful in helping him reach a higher level .

If the silver lightning stone was instead placed in his territory, it wouldn't be a trouble at all to create even more condor kings . Unfortunately, that would only remain a wish .

"It's really a silver lightning stone . Not bad at all," praised both Du Xuanhao and Devouring Ghost .

Not saying anything, Xiang Shaoyun started striding step by step toward the silver lightning stone .

"Be careful, your highness . The silver lightning energy is quite strong," reminded Jin Wo .

Xiang Shaoyun ignored him and continued stepping forth until he finally entered the range of the silver lightning stone .

Bzzt! Bzzt!

Instantly, countless electrical currents surrounded his body . Thankfully, he was already prepared . He directly activated his lightning bone, letting it absorb the boundless lightning energy creeping all over his body .

Even with the lightning bone absorbing the silver lightning energy, his body still twitched numbly . The lightning energy was no weaker than natural lightning bolts . Fortunately, he was only absorbing the lightning energy from the fringe of the stone's active range . Otherwise, his body would have turned crisp black .

The lightning bone seemed to have transformed into a purple dragon that opened its jaws wide and started devouring the silver lightning energy . Behaving like a starving dragon, it consumed silver lightning energy rapidly, instantly clearing a large portion from Xiang Shaoyun's body, reducing his pain .

With a powerful absorption force, the purple dragon started absorbing the silver lightning energy in the vicinity as well . Instantly, numerous silvery electrical currents wrapped Xiang Shaoyun's body completely .

The silver lightning energy was extremely overbearing, causing Xiang Shaoyun's body to twitch as he howled in pain . One ought to know that Xiang Shaoyun had an extremely tough body that had survived being struck by natural lightning bolts . But just this bit of silver lightning energy was enough to cause him such pain . The energy's power was evident .

But since the purple dragon dared to pull over so many strands of silver lightning energy, it only meant that it had the capability to devour them all . Sure enough, with a roar, the purple dragon opened its mouth wide and swallowed all the silver lightning energy strands .

After absorbing so much silver lightning energy, the lightning bone started transforming again . Lightning energy rippled repeatedly on its surface as the patch of purple on Xiang Shaoyun's spine started growing again . This time, a slight trace of silvery patches could be seen permeating the purple bone as well, and the inclusion of the silver lightning energy further enhanced the innate purple lightning .

At the same time, Xiang Shaoyun's flesh also went through a cleansing, and even as intense pain assailed him, his flesh grew stronger . He stood there motionless, but Devouring Ghost did not appear worried . With a faint smile, he thought, The Xiang Clan's lightning bone is extremely rare . In the past, master had relied on this bone to become the world's supreme overlord . The young master is not strong enough yet, but he still has a bright future ahead of him .

As for Jin Wo, the silver-winged lightning wolf king, and the lightning condor king, when they saw Xiang Shaoyun standing amid the silver lightning perfectly safe, they were overwhelmed with shock . There was enough lightning power to give any King a hard time . Thus, it was quite unthinkable that Xiang Shaoyun could actually stand there safely .

Even after absorbing such a large amount of silver lightning energy, Xiang Shaoyun still sensed a massive thirst from the lightning bone . He thus continued stepping toward the silver lightning stone .

As he neared, the lightning power in his surroundings intensified, and his lightning bone ceaselessly absorbed the energy, placing him in both joy and pain .

"This feels amazing!" Xiang Shaoyun cried out in excitement .

He started sprinting due to his excitement, and before long, he was standing right before the silver lightning stone . A large amount of energy was converging around his body . The lightning bone was still absorbing the lightning energy at a rapid speed, but it wouldn't be able to devour all the energy anytime soon, forcing Xiang Shaoyun to quickly circulate the Heaven Conquering Overlord Manual . He directed the lightning energy into his first star to start enhancing it as well .
