Free Web NovelChapter 571: Chapter 393: Refining the Heart Core, Obtaining the Thunder Seed! (Double-Length) _2
For an ordinary Martial Artist, handling this Heart Core might indeed be difficult, but Song Changming possesses the Witch Refining Technique, capable of refining the energy of all things and using it for himself.
Just like he previously refined the essence of the rat king’s flesh, he similarly refined this heart core of the rat king, further strengthening his physique and enhancing his body!
Though this was somewhat wasteful, Song Changming could not be bothered to care.
In his view, as long as his own strength continuously improves, becoming strong enough to handle Great Demons, won’t he have as many heart cores as he wants in the future?
There’s genuinely no need to fret over wasting now.
If you want to do something, just do it. Song Changming’s Heart and Spirit immersed, once again operating the Witch Refining Technique.
This Heart Core was also drawn under his influence, floating before him, strands and wisps of energy extracted from it and absorbed by Song Changming.
At the initial stage of refining, Song Changming was fairly cautious.
But soon, the Witch Refining Technique revealed its extraordinary prowess.
All things can be refined!
A faint electric flower gradually appeared around Song Changming’s body, reflecting the heart core of the rat king.
The heart core slightly quivered, and suddenly a sharp screech exploded within the room.
From within the heart core, threads of Demon Blood coalesced, morphing into the fierce form of the rat king, glaring viciously at Song Changming.
"Do you really want to annihilate us completely!"
Song Changming frowned at the rat king’s shadow appearing from the heart core.
"Tsk, truly a stubborn ghost..."
The rat king’s will, or rather its spirit body, remained, unsurprisingly capable of relying on the heart core to come back to life.
However, he was also aware that the opponent was merely pretending to be tough, cowering within the heart core, unable to do anything to him.
Song Changming could not be bothered with words, and proceeded to operate the Witch Refining Technique, extracting the opponent’s revealed spirit body to refine.
"It hurts! It’s unbearable!"
During the refinement process, the rat king’s spirit body seemed to roll in a boiling pot, continuously being dissolved, the pain too severe to bear.
And Song Changming was pleasantly surprised to find that this refinement unexpectedly strengthened his own spirit body!
In the past, the Witch Refining Technique only enhanced the physical body, and the strengthening of the spirit body was rather slight.
But now it seemed this Witch Refining Technique was not incapable of strengthening the spirit, he just hadn’t found the right way to refine.
By late into the night, Song Changming finally ended this round of cultivation.
The heart core before him remained, small, seemingly unaffected by Song Changming’s refinement.
Within the heart core, the Divine Soul of the Kang Jin Rat King was already withered, as if just fished out of a boiling pot, looking dispirited, wilting in the corner.
This single refinement was insufficient to completely kill the Divine Soul of the Kang Jin Rat King.
Song Changming was not in a hurry, refining daily, as he would eventually refine this Great Demon Heart Core completely.
On the contrary, if the heart core quickly depleted, its help to him would become limited.
Song Changming’s attention soon shifted from the heart core back to himself.
He seemed to have realized something, raised a finger, and With a single thought.
Suddenly a crack.
At his fingertip, a faint yellow electric flower suddenly burst out, disappearing instantly into the void.
"Just as I thought!"
Song Changming’s eyes shone bright, unable to hold back an exclamation.
The heart core before him, the Divine Soul of the Kang Jin Rat King, saw this scene, shivered all over, looking suspiciously.
"Golden Thunder?!"
Indeed, the electric flower that just emerged from Song Changming’s fingertip was none other than the Golden Thunder most familiar to the Kang Jin Rat King!
Song Changming suddenly snapped his fingers.
This time, a larger electric flower appeared, emitting an even crisper burst.
"This is impossible!" the rat king exclaimed in shock.
This Golden Thunder was the innate ability of the Kang Jin Rat Race, born with it, unique Under the Heavens.
How could this Human Race possibly master this Golden Thunder?!
Seeing it once may make him doubt his eyes, but twice in succession leaves no room for mistake.
"What have you done!" the rat king, breaking its previous dispirited stance, reappeared, shouting at Song Changming.
"Noisy." Song Changming smacked its Divine Soul back into the heart core, continuing to mull over the ’Golden Thunder’ he had just grasped.
The acquisition of Golden Thunder indeed came from this heart core before him.
Actually, during the heart core refinement process earlier, he was already paying attention.
The heart core contained the Thunder Power of Golden Thunder, and also the bloodline power of the Kang Jin Rat King.
When these two were also refined by Song Changming using the Witch Refining Technique, it allowed him to access the core ability of the Kangjin Rat Race: Golden Thunder!
Coincidentally, he himself also possessed the gifted trait of a Thunder Roar Body, which granted him an extremely high Thunder Talent, enabling him to wield Thunder Essence!
Thus, everything fell into place, as if it was meant to be, and he obtained the right to use this Golden Thunder!
This was undoubtedly an unexpected outcome; before refining this Heart Core, even Song Changming had not anticipated mastering the Demon Race’s innate abilities in such a manner.
Of course, with just this one refinement, the Golden Thunder he could release was only of such limited power, barely a small hint, and not yet of great utility.
But as he continues to refine Heart Cores in the future, there might come a day when he can seize all the Golden Thunder Tao Practice of this Kang Jin Rat King for himself.
By then, things might be different.
Thinking of this, Song Changming suddenly recalled Xu Yuan from the military.
Unlike Song Changming, Xu Yuan, as a member of the Human Race, was born with a blazing white Thunderbolt, a heavenly favor that everyone envied.
The situation was somewhat similar to his current one.
However, his Golden Thunder was acquired postnatally from the Demon Race, and it might not match up to Xu Yuan’s innate Anomalous Thunder.
"If I use True Thunder to perform Thunder Element Martial Techniques, the power should be much greater..."
Song Changming was already contemplating the benefits and advantages of mastering Anomalous Thunder, imagining it to be numerous, even considering it as a trump card to keep...
After manipulating the electric sparks for quite a while, Song Changming finally took a rest.
In Core City, within the vast Su Mansion, in a large courtyard.
Su Fengye stood with hands behind his back in the pavilion, looking up at the bright moon, with an indescribable sense of longing and depression in his heart.
He really wanted to talk to someone, but in the vast Su Mansion, there was no one to talk to.
Only at such times did he particularly miss his dear friend, Jiang River.
Facing Jiang River, whether it was past loves or matters concerning Su Qingqing, he could reveal his heart without reservation.
"Husband, why have you been so restless since you returned today, did something happen on the way?"
A somewhat worried voice came from behind, it was his current wife, Gu Xinyue.
Looking at the lovely woman in front of him, Su Fengye suppressed the many emotions in his heart and smiled warmly.
"It’s nothing, just seeing so much misery among the people, I can’t help but worry..."
"Husband is kind-hearted, but in this chaos caused by the Demon Race, Husband must act within your means, don’t worry about the world and forget that you have me by your side..." Gu Xinyue spoke softly, her tone gentle, without any hint of blame.
Su Fengye felt guilty, knowing he had neglected the one by his side during this time, and immediately dispelled all distractions, pulling Gu Xinyue into his arms.
No matter what, she was his wife now, not anyone else.
"I’m sorry..." This apology from Su Fengye carried many meanings.
...
Yuan Province, Fox Mountain.
"Madam has emerged from seclusion!"
"Madam has emerged from seclusion!"
"..."
On a mountaintop, Little Demons were beating the gongs and drums, rejoicing.
At this moment, the entire mountain top was enveloped by a vast Demon Qi, like dark clouds pressing on a village.
At the top of the mountain, nine fluffy white fox tails, enormous in size, spread out like a peacock displaying its feathers, as if wanting to cover the sky.
The source of the boundless Demon Qi was precisely from these nine white fox tails.
Buzz!
On other peaks of Fox Mountain, numerous Fox Demons were also drawn by the immense Demon Qi of this mountain, all wandering around, observing.
"Is that Yan Xue?"
"It cannot be mistaken, this aura, it’s already a Great Demon!"
"A Great Demon who has not been cultivating for more than two hundred years, tsk, tsk, tsk, truly a formidable successor..."
"It’s said that Xi Yanxue was emotionally frustrated back then, abandoned by her Human husband. Within the clan, there were not few sisters who openly and secretly ridiculed her, yet unexpectedly, she has now become a Great Demon!"
"To have such benefits from a worldly journey in the Human Realm, perhaps I should also go experience it myself..."
"Oh, I’ve heard that Xi Yanxue did it on purpose, to borrow seeds from the Changsheng Family..."
"Pfft, your story is even more ridiculous. Xi Yanxue herself is noble as a member of the Nine tailed Fox Race, her bloodline so prestigious, why would she need to borrow the Changsheng Bloodline from the Human Race?"
"..."
Under the attention of many of her clan and the Ten Thousand Demons, Xi Yanxue completed her final magnificent transformation. Her Heart Core formed within, with her aura reaching its peak, and officially advanced to a Great Demon!
This was exactly what she always wanted, seizing the Heaven-bestowed opportunity brought by the Celestial Fiend Devouring the Sun phenomenon to finally possess absolutely powerful strength!
In the future, even when facing the Changsheng Su Family, she would no longer be small and weak!
...
