?Chapter 656: Chapter 656: Evident Effects_1 Chapter 656: Chapter 656: Evident Effects_1 Upon seeing the Thunderclap Strange Serpent trapped in lightning, Xu Fan smiled faintly and then pinched his fingers into a spellcasting gesture.

Soon, the spell took form, and a golden “Subdue” character appeared out of thin air, suspended in mid-air, emitting a dazzling light.

“Subdue demons and vanquish evil, descend for me!”

Xu Fan pressed down with his right hand still in a spellcasting gesture.

The golden “Subdue” character fell down, merging into the body of the Thunderclap Strange Serpent.

The serpent looked as if it had been struck at a vital acupoint, immediately becoming rigid and immobile, like a semi-transparent statue, and it emitted a golden light from its body, resembling an exquisite work of art, quite beautiful to behold.

However, from the mouth of the Thunderclap Strange Serpent came a mournful wail.

Xu Fan’s hand formed another spellcasting gesture and he lightly said, “Explode!”

Boom…

The Thunderclap Strange Serpent had no room to struggle and simply exploded on the spot.

Its body transformed into many particles of the Primordial Sky Thunder Element, which floated and dispersed in mid-air and were slowly fading away.

Without external interference, these particles of the Primordial Sky Thunder Element would completely dissipate in not too long and return to the heavens and the earth.

Xu Fan did not hesitate, immediately waved his hand, and the surrounding Primordial Sky Thunder Element particles rushed into his body like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea.

Boom, boom, boom…

From inside Xu Fan’s body, there came faint sounds of thunder.

And from his eyes, there was a flicker of electric light.

The nature of the thunder element is inherently violent, and the Primordial Sky Thunder Element even more so.

It was only because he was Xu Fan that he dared to absorb the Primordial Sky Thunder Element like this; anyone else attempting such a feat would be courting death.

As the secret technique was activated, Xu Fan continued to refine and assimilate the Primordial Sky Thunder Element within his body.

After a few seconds, the Primordial Sky Thunder Element formed from the Thunderclap Strange Serpent had been completely refined by Xu Fan and then, under his control, flowed into his Sea of Consciousness Space, merging into the clouds within the Sea of Consciousness Space.

“Phew…” Xu Fan let out a long breath, his eyes revealing an expression of joy.

He could distinctly feel that his cultivation, especially his spiritual power, had made substantial progress.

It seemed that the Primordial Sky Thunder Element indeed had a unique effect when it came to tempering spiritual power.

Although the Primordial Sky Thunder Element could enhance one’s cultivation.

But those Primordial Sky Thunder Element particles absorbed into the Sea of Consciousness Space are considered consumables for spiritual battle techniques and will decrease with use, so Xu Fan could only hope to find enough Thunderclap Strange Serpents in this relic to absorb more Primordial Sky Thunder Element for future needs.

Xu Fan looked around, but he did not find traces of other Thunderclap Strange Serpents nearby.

He felt distinctly that the space to his left had a more abundant concentration of the thunder element.

And to the left should be the central area of this relic.

Since Northern Region Mad Life cultivated thunder methods, it’s no surprise that the relic is imbued with such an abundance of the thunder element, and even birthed the Primordial Sky Thunder Element from it, truly astonishing.

Having ascertained the direction, Xu Fan no longer hesitated and began heading towards the left.

In theory, the closer one gets to the center, the more heavenly and earthly treasures there should be.

That Thunderclap Strange Serpent he had just faced was merely isolated, and perhaps in the central area, there might be many more, maybe even groups of Thunderclap Strange Serpents.

?????.?0

If that were the case, Xu Fan couldn’t help but beam from ear to ear.

Sure enough, as Xu Fan anticipated, the farther he went, the more potent the air became with the thunder element, and along the way, he encountered five more Thunderclap Strange Serpents.

Needless to say, these Thunderclap Strange Serpents he encountered were all slain by Xu Fan, who then absorbed and refined them.

Xu Fan’s spiritual power was also being continuously strengthened.

About half an hour later.

Xu Fan slowly descended from the air.

In such a special environment, the consumption of Spiritual Energy was simply too great, and even someone as strong as Xu Fan found it difficult to keep flying continuously.

After walking forward for a while, Xu Fan discovered the surroundings were a mess, with many traces of combat and fresh blood that had yet to coagulate on the ground.

Moreover, there were still some energy fluctuations lingering in the air, among which there were distinct elements of thunder.

Clearly, a battle had taken place here not long ago.

Suddenly, Xu Fan’s eyes narrowed as he spotted a body lying under a tree not far ahead.

And he was quite familiar with this person—it was the man known as “Northern Region Mad Life.”

By then, he had died a grisly death; half of his body had turned to charcoal, still emitting wisps of blue smoke, obviously having been struck by lightning.

Although this man was rather arrogant, he did have some reason to be, for his strength was extraordinary.

Yet, it was unexpected that in just over half an hour after entering this area, he had suffered a mishap.

“If I’m not mistaken, it seems this person died at the hands of a Thunderclap Strange Serpent.”

Xu Fan speculated, sensing the Primordial Sky Thunder Element that had yet to dissipate from the corpse.

It seemed there must still be quite a few Thunderclap Strange Serpents nearby.

Because Xu Fan could feel the presence of at least five or six people here, which likely meant they were part of the same team.

Given that there were so many of them, and Nie Feihu still tragically died at the hands of a Thunderclap Strange Serpent, the number of serpents definitely could not be just one or two; there had to be at least more than ten.

While Thunderclap Strange Serpents were something others desperately tried to avoid, for Xu Fan, the more there were, the better.

Without hesitation, Xu Fan immediately sped towards the direction where the sense had disappeared.

Before long, Xu Fan saw the battling parties.

There were five people in total, with the highest among them reaching the late Grandmaster Realm.

The five had formed a circular defensive formation, wielding weapons, struggling desperately against the assault of the Thunderclap Strange Serpents, their expressions filled with panic.

At that moment, all of them were injured, and none seemed in good condition.

The one with the most severe injuries had his lower body enveloped in flickering electricity, almost unable to move, his blood-soaked clothing hanging on by sheer willpower to keep from collapsing.

There were over a dozen Thunderclap Strange Serpents, their strengths mostly within the mid to late Grandmaster Realm.

The leading serpent, in particular, had reached the peak of Grandmaster Realm, its size noticeably larger than the rest, nearly approaching five meters in length.

This strongest Thunderclap Strange Serpent was not participating in the battle but hovered quietly in mid-air, eyeing the five Ancient Martial Artists with predatory intent.

Whenever someone attempted to flee, it would spit out a bolt of lightning to intercept them, clearly intent on wiping out all five.

Seeing this most powerful Thunderclap Strange Serpent, Xu Fan’s eyes lit up, for he could distinctly feel a very strong presence of Primordial Sky Thunder Element within the serpent.

To Xu Fan, it was as enticing as a plate of delicious food placed before someone who hadn’t eaten for three days and nights.

Immediately, Xu Fan did not hesitate and sped towards that direction.

“What kind of monsters are these?

Damn it, they’re almost immune to physical attacks; my blade barely makes a scratch on these bastards!”

“Fuck, how are we supposed to fight this, I’m not going to last.”

“Quick, attack with spells, we must use spells to stand a chance!”

“We’re finished, it looks like we’re done for today.
