Chapter 1247: To Be Caught off Guard by the Ko

When the effect of the divine fruit had worn off completely, Jiang Chen came to himself. His eyes went back to normal. He did not remember much about the Sovereign Spirit of the red cloud. If Azure Demon and the black dragon had not brought it up, he would not even have known what had happened. He did find an extra red cloud in the Constellation Sea when he checked himself out. However, no matter what he did, the red cloud just did not respond to him. Fortunately, the existence of the red cloud did not have any bad influence on him.

“Did the divine fruit awake my Sovereign Spirit? Am I also a reincarnation of the Great Sovereign?” Jiang Chen thought that since he had been reborn after 500 hundred years, it would not be too surprising if he really was a reincarnation of the Great Sovereign. The thing was, others would not recover the memory of the previous life until their Sovereign Spirits had been awoken, and even so, the memory would not be complete. In his case, he remembered everything in this life and in the previous life perfectly well ever since he had opened his eyes in this life.

“Anyway, the Sovereign Spirit is a good thing. It’s no big deal.” Jiang Chen did not let the Sovereign Spirit affect his mood. He viewed the red cloud’s potential as vast.

During the next few days, he mastered the Du Tian Holy Thunder without effort. In terms of state, many problems that had bogged him down for a long time were also resolved.

Life-or-death Ko of Thunder! As a result, Jiang Chen became more resolute. He was going to challenge the life-or-death Ko of Thunder. He did not dare look down on it. That was why Jiang Chen was using his practicing body to go through the Ko. It was a smart move. He just wanted to see how dreadful the life-or-death Ko of Thunder was.

He gave the two Doctrine Swords to the practicing body. Then he found a place. He bit his fingertip and wrote some runes in the air with his blood. Injected with his will, the air became a canvas on which some crooked blood runes that no one could understand were written. When they were finished, thunder came from overhead.

This was the way to take the initiative to go through the life-or-death Ko of Thunder, using his blood as the agreement to evoke the Ko of Thunder. The true body was staying very far away. He did not think his practicing body would succeed. He wanted to see how powerful the life-or-death Ko of Thunder was first and then decide what to do next.

“It doesn’t seem right. The thunder seems very close.”

Since the practicing body and the true body shared the same mind, when they were together, they would be confused frequently by the sounds they heard. Jiang Chen’s true body looked up, seemingly lost in thought. He found the sky of the World of Bloody Sea had never been so bright. It was because the sky had become a sea of thunder. Wherever Jiang Chen looked, the sea of thunder was always in his sight. He felt it like a catastrophe.

Where the practicing body, holding two Doctrine Swords, was staying was quite peaceful.

“Crap!” Jiang Chen showed a bitter smile. He had not prepared for this. By then he finally believed the will of the universe did exist, and it was not so easy to con it.

“Doctrine Swords!”

The practicing body hurried to come over to give the Doctrine Swords back to the true body. They would improve his fighting power greatly. However, the practicing body was dumbfounded when he arrived where the true body had been. There was no sea of thunders. Even the true body had disappeared. The world the true body was seeing was full of thunder and lightning. On the horizon were just tons of white lights.

“I’ll die if I get distracted again!” Jiang Chen experienced what being caught off guard felt like. Fortunately, the true body still had the bronze cauldron and the eight groups of spiritual beings.

“Show me how dreadful you are!” When there was no way to go back, no complaint or dread was necessary. The only thing to do was to get rid of the distracting thoughts and focus with heart and soul. Soon, Jiang Chen saw what was different with the life-or-death Ko of Thunder. He also realized why it was so dreadful.

“Break!” At the same time, the two practicing bodies outside pointed at the center of their foreheads respectively. Through some method, they cut their connection with the true body, because the true body had to be fully concentrated on facing the life-or-death Ko of Thunder, and the whole process would not be finished in a short time.

The two practicing bodies became like zombies after cutting the connection, because they were supposed to share the consciousness and the mind with the true body. The practicing bodies were just floating in the air subconsciously.

“Excuse me…eh?”

A team passed by. One of the people came up to a practicing body. He found Jiang Chen was totally motionless when he was about to ask him something. The man waved his hand before Jiang Chen’s eyes. His eyes were open, but there was no reaction.

“What’s this?”

“He isn’t afraid the Blood Race will take advantage of him? Wait. Look!”

“Two Doctrine Swords!”

These people noticed the two Doctrine Swords the practicing body was carrying. All of them breathed fast due to eagerness. Their eyes lit up. One of them could not restrain himself anymore. He grasped the Heavenly Fault Sword.

His companions held their breaths, gazing at Jiang Chen’s face attentively. They couldn’t breath until they had seen Jiang Chen had not reacted. Then they took the Doctrine Swords away.

“Shall we…?” One of them gave the cutthroat signal.

None of the others spoke. They looked at each other. Some of them had the intention, while others did not have the nerve to do it.

“We might wake him up if we attack him.” In the end, they gave up this intention and left with the Doctrine Swords.

The practicing bodies’ necks were on the chopping block. Soon, they were targeted again. This time the passerby was not a good man at all, but a soul body. It was mostly black with a tinge of dark red. It was impossible to tell what the soul body was while it was flying at high speed. When it had stopped beside the practicing body, it looked like a Blood. After whirling a few laps around the practicing bodies, the soul body seemed to have made some kind of decision. It bored into the practicing body. Then the motionless practicing body blinked!

Jiang Chen, going through the life-or-death Ko of Thunder, had no idea what was happening outside him at all. He was concentrated on going through the Ko. Different from the usual Kos of Thunder, the sea of thunder had never appeared. Where he was staying became brighter and brighter until he could not tell distances anymore. It was so quiet he could even hear his own heartbeat.

Only one person in the world knew how dreadful the life-or-death Ko of Thunder was and what the entire process was like, but that person never wrote anything about it. As a result, people only knew the life-or-death Ko of Thunder was powerful, but they could not say how powerful it was, just like no one could tell you what the world after your death was like.

After 15 minutes of terrified feelings, the lights receded like an ebb tide. Jiang Chen’s eyes were also feeling much better. Where Jiang Chen was standing was a world of nothing. The world had completely changed. The sea of thunder overhead was still there, and it started to accumulate power.

“The second stage?” Jiang Chen frowned. The thing was he had not even figured out what the 15-minute-long first stage had been about.

Boom!

The life-or-death Ko of Thunder struck. The sea of thunder converged into a point and chopped downward, as if a god was going to cut Jiang Chen in half with an axe. Jiang Chen panicked. He put all his Du Tian Holy Thunders into use.

As to the reason he did not turn to the bronze cauldron or the eight groups of spiritual beings, it was because he did not sense them. Jiang Chen felt helpless when he realized the gap between the Du Tian Holy Thunder he had mastered and the life-or-death Ko of Thunder. It paled into insignificance compared to the life-or-death Ko of Thunder.

“It’s really baffling!” Jiang Chen said involuntarily.

“The life-or-death Ko of Thunder isn’t about the Ko of Thunder. It’s about life or death.” To his surprise, a voice suddenly appeared in his mind!

Jiang Chen was shocked. His pupils dilated. He had finally gotten the point after spending 15 minutes pondering!
