Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law

Chapter 158: Thunder Brilliance Ring

"No... how did you know my soul was hidden in this eye?" the Six-Eyed Rakshasa hissed unwillingly.

At this moment, its remnant soul was rapidly dissipating.

How could the attack of a Fourth Rank youth possibly harm his soul?

After all, the body of a soul is generally immune to ordinary True Yuan attacks.

No, it was that talisman.

"It seems you’ve realized it, yes, this talisman is indeed a Superior Grade Spirit Tempering Talisman. Although it is only half-finished, it is more than enough to kill a mere remnant soul like yours, since it is not your true form," Xu Ping’an said with a smile.

"As for how I discovered that your eye is where the remnant soul resides, that’s quite simple. From beginning to end, I’ve been observing you. The flow of your Soul Power almost exclusively comes from there," Xu Ping’an continued.

He then activated the talisman, which exploded in an instant, transforming into a fierce burst of spiritual light that immediately eradicated all remnants of the Six-Eyed Rakshasa’s soul.

In the end, the person who had been possessed also completely collapsed.

Seeing this scene, Shangguan Lingyu from afar also completely let out a sigh of relief.

She had nearly died just a moment ago.

With this in mind, her gaze towards Xu Ping’an became more serious.

The young man before her was definitely not as simple as she thought. She had suffered a great loss at his hands.

Though there was an element of a surprise attack, he was still able to kill the Six-Eyed Rakshasa’s possessing remnant soul. He was truly extraordinary.

And the Superior Grade Spirit Instrument he wielded could actually imprison a Sixth Rank Expert. This truly made her thoughts turn in disbelief.

"Who exactly are you?" Shangguan Lingyu asked.

"Don’t you already know? My name is Xu Ping’an," Xu Ping’an said with a smile, then turned and walked away.

Seeing Xu Ping’an leaving, Shangguan Lingyu wanted to stop him.

However, thinking of Xu Ping’an’s methods, she immediately chose to hold back.

Her combat power was almost spent by now, and it would be a very unwise choice to act at this moment.

Thus, she could only watch helplessly as Xu Ping’an left.

"Xu Ping’an, I will remember you. One day, I will capture you with my own hands," Shangguan Lingyu vowed coldly in her heart.

As a Direct Disciple of the Immortal Emperor, she had never suffered such a great loss before.

How could her pride allow her to be content with this?

…

Xu Ping’an did not pay attention to Shangguan Lingyu, but continued towards the depths of the Lei Family.

"Xu Ping’an, ahead is the Sealing Ground of the Underground Abyss of the Lei Family. If the seal is not repaired, once the main body of the Six-Eyed Rakshasa comes out, there will be big trouble," Lei Shi’s voice resounded in Xu Ping’an’s mind.

"How can I repair the seal?" Xu Ping’an asked.

Although he did not want to meddle,

he had killed the remnant soul of the Six-Eyed Rakshasa, and once its main body emerged, it would definitely trouble him.

At that time, facing a Seventh Rank fierce creature would likely be even more troublesome.

"Our Lei Family ancestors foresaw this day. To repair the seal, you only need to claim ownership of the Thunder Brilliance Ring. With the power from within the Thunder Brilliance Ring, you can repair the seal," Lei Shi explained.

"Alright!" Xu Ping’an immediately took out the Thunder Brilliance Ring and began the ritual to claim it.

He dripped blood onto the Thunder Brilliance Ring, and suddenly Xu Ping’an felt a connection forming between himself and the ring.

Like the Golden Radiance Ring, the Thunder Brilliance Ring had a space inside the ring.

However, unlike the Golden Radiance Ring, the Thunder Brilliance Ring did not have various treasures floating inside it.

In the Thunder Brilliance Ring was a Heaven-Penetrating Pillar.

Upon the pillar coiled an immensely huge Thunder Dragon.

"It’s huge!" Xu Ping’an couldn’t help but exclaim.

This Thunder Dragon was probably a thousand feet long.

Of course, this was not the key point. The essential thing was that the Thunder Dragon itself was entirely composed of an extremely terrifying Thunder Power.

"Indestructible Thunderous Force?" Xu Ping’an exclaimed in shock.

The Thunder Dragon was entirely composed of Indestructible Lightning.

Indestructible Lightning was an extremely terrifying form of thunder power. Although it wasn’t as formidable as Chaotic Thunder, the power of Indestructible Lightning was still very fearsome.

Even a mere filament could annihilate a Sixth Rank Expert.

A thousand zhang long dragon, completely composed of Indestructible Lightning—how terrifying must its power be?

Even the past version of himself would probably have had to steer well clear of this Thunder Dragon.

Just standing in front of this Thunder Dragon, Xu Ping’an could feel an extremely oppressive sensation.

"Is this the secret of the Thunder Brilliance Ring? A dragon completely made up of Indestructible Lightning?" Xu Ping’an asked in astonishment.

"Indeed, that is the very essence of the Thunder Brilliance Ring, a Thunder Dragon made entirely of Indestructible Force, and the key point is that it has developed sentience. It should be in slumber now, but once it awakens, I’m afraid even the Immortal Emperor would be no match for it," Lei Shi explained.

Xu Ping’an nodded, acknowledging that the Indestructible Thunder Dragon was indeed terrifying.

"So how does the Thunder Brilliance Ring benefit its master?" Xu Ping’an couldn’t help but ask.

"Actually, it’s quite simple. You just need to place your hand on the Thunderstone Pillar, and you will be attacked by Indestructible Lightning. The longer you withstand it, the more Indestructible Lightning it will trigger," Lei Shi responded.

Xu Ping’an understood.

The pillar wrapped by the Thunder Dragon was no ordinary pillar.

It was a pillar crafted from Heavenly Thunder Stone.

Heavenly Thunder Stone had the ability to store the power of thunder.

The Thunder Dragon had been entwined around this pillar for a long time, already having infused its own Indestructible Lightning power into it.

Therefore, merely touching the Heavenly Thunder Stone pillar would draw forth the Indestructible Lightning force for Body Tempering.

If one could undergo Indestructible Thunder Body Tempering, not only would physical power be enhanced, but even the True Yuan would become much stronger.

"It seems then that the Thunder Brilliance Ring is indeed an incredibly effective treasure," Xu Ping’an stated.

"Of course. Although I originally had Seventh Rank Cultivation, I could only endure one strike of Indestructible Lightning Body Tempering from this Heavenly Thunder Stone pillar. But even so, it benefited me tremendously," Lei Shi said proudly.

Xu Ping’an nodded, acknowledging that the power of Indestructible Lightning was indeed strong.

What remained uncertain was whether it could activate the Thunder Devouring Sword within his own body.

However, these were all matters for later consideration. There was no hurry to try them just yet.

"Where is the power to replenish the seal that you spoke of?" Xu Ping’an asked.

Although the power of Indestructible Lightning was strong, it was clear it wasn’t the power to repair the Formation.

The power to repair the Indestructible Lightning seal discussed by Lei Shi must be something else entirely.

"Over there, that is the power to repair the Formation," Lei Shi’s specter pointed at a book to Xu Ping’an’s left.

"Immortal Law Taoist Manual? No wonder it can repair the Formation," Xu Ping’an said with some surprise.

It was a Daoist Manual imbued with the power of Immortal Dao Principles.

"That’s right, the Immortal Law Taoist Manual. With this object, even an Eighth Rank Formation could be fully repaired," Lei Shi replied.

Xu Ping’an nodded.

The Immortal Law Taoist Manual was more than sufficient for repairing an Eighth Rank Formation.

It was just unknown who had left behind this Daoist Manual.

Xu Ping’an approached the Manual, which was covered with dense, profound Daoist runes.

Just one glance at the Manual filled Xu Ping’an with a splitting headache.

"Such a formidable Manual. The person who left this Daoist Manual must have had at least Tenth Rank Cultivation," Xu Ping’an voiced in amazement.

Such an individual would be a top-level existence in the Spirit Realm.

"Let’s go, time to repair the seal!"

With a thought, Xu Ping’an once again appeared in the outside world.
