Chapter 686: Old Supreme, My Heart Always Belongs to the Thunder Prison Clan
These white bone fiends, after being affected by the Thousandfold Thunder Prison, had gradually degenerated into white bone demons, their strength weakened.
Now, under Shen Mo's nurturing, these white bone demons would gradually revert to white bone fiends.
When that time came, he would have yet another source of power.
As for the backlash from the page?
Shen Mo didn't care in the slightest.
He already had Tai Er, a born rebel.
He didn't mind adding another remnant page of a Dao Saint Artifact from the filth faction.
As long as one's strength was sufficient—
Why fear backlash?
Suppress it all!
"All of you, go stay inside the Eight Treasures Spirit-Nurturing Pagoda."
With a casual wave of his hand, Shen Mo sent the Black Dragon Shears, the white bone page, and the Golden Dragon Might Armor into the Eight Treasures Spirit-Nurturing Pagoda.
Ever since obtaining the pagoda in the Cangqing Grotto Heaven, Shen Mo had tossed most of his spirit artifacts into it.
The Eight Treasures Spirit-Nurturing Pagoda was indeed a treasure for nurturing artifacts.
Many high-grade Heaven-tier artifacts even showed signs of advancing toward peak Heaven-tier.
Of course, advancing from peak Heaven-tier to Saint Artifact was unimaginably difficult.
Shen Mo never expected the pagoda's nurturing to be so heaven-defying.
Even so, many surface damages on these artifacts were being repaired in this nurturing process.
"The Demon-Binding Lock, the Thunder Prison Rod, the white bone page—already in hand."
"Now, it's time to head to the central region of the Thousandfold Thunder Prison."
A faint smile curved Shen Mo's lips.
At that moment—
In the central region of the Thousandfold Thunder Prison.
Several figures stood before the Myriad Tribulations Thunder Prison, resisting tens of thousands of Thunder Fiends.
These figures were the Supremes holding the line against the Thunder Fiends.
From the Thunder Prison Clan—three Supremes.
From the Creation Heaven Sect, the Eastern Li Dynasty, and the Samsara Holy Land—one Supreme each.
Two more were demon Supremes, Xiang Gu and Hu Qing, traveling through the Eastern State.
The Supreme of the Burning Heaven Divine Sect was stuck in the void and could not come to assist.
A total of eight Supremes stood like reefs amidst a raging tide.
No matter how the Thunder Fiends assaulted, they stood firm.
However, the demons swarmed endlessly from all directions.
Their numbers showed no sign of diminishing.
Meanwhile, the Supremes' injuries grew more numerous.
Especially the old Supreme of the Thunder Prison Clan at the forefront—Lei Daoheng.
His figure was already stooped.
His temples had grown ever whiter.
Fresh wounds lay over old scars, his body caked in blood.
From those wounds, the power of Thunder Fiend constantly interfered with healing.
The seven Supremes behind him were also injured, but far less than Lei Daoheng.
They looked upon him with eyes full of respect.
Clearly, they greatly admired this old Supreme's decision to stand at the very front.
"The younger generation has done well."
"The number of Thunder Fiends has decreased significantly."
Casually, Lei Daoheng hurled a thunder spear, skewering three Thunder Fiends and blasting them far away, before speaking calmly.
The newly ascended Thunder Prison Clan Supreme, Lei Jinglong, nodded slightly. "Indeed. Many Thunder Fiend seeds have been destroyed, which is why their numbers are dropping."
"If we endure a while longer, we should be able to quell this riot."
Lei Daoheng gave Lei Jinglong a meaningful glance. "Jinglong, Old Feng and I are already old. You are the successor of the Thunder Prison Clan."
"In the future, my seat will be yours."
Old Feng referred to the other Thunder Prison Clan Supreme.
Though not bearing the Lei surname, he was a consecrated offering brought in from outside, yet still honored as an ancestral Supreme of the Thunder Prison Clan.
Lei Jinglong nodded solemnly. "Old Supreme, my heart has always been with the Thunder Prison Clan."
"In my eyes, the Thunder Prison Clan's interests are everything."
Satisfied with Lei Jinglong's reply, Lei Daoheng finally nodded.
Just then, in the distance, a majestic pillar of demonic light surged into the sky!
Lei Daoheng, Xiang Gu, and the other Supremes gazed into the distance at the pillar of demonic light, their expressions subtly shifting.
As Supremes, their perception of the world's spiritual energy was especially acute.
The density of that demonic light was clearly at the level of a Supreme!
Could it be that among the Thunder Fiends, a Thunder Fiend Lord had been born?
That would be a being on par with a Supreme-level powerhouse.
Moreover, because it was within the Thousandfold Thunder Prison, the Thunder Fiend Lord's true strength would soar even higher.
Facing three at once, it would still show no fear.
The Supremes present all felt some uncertainty in their hearts.
"I'll go take a look. If it truly is the birth of a Thunder Fiend Lord, we must split forces immediately and kill it."
The White Supreme of the Creation Heaven Sect spoke in a deep voice.
Lei Daoheng said seriously, "Let me go. I am, after all, a Supreme of the Thunder Prison Clan, and am more familiar with the Thousandfold Thunder Prison."
Lei Jinglong stopped him. "Old Supreme, your injuries are severe. You should remain here."
"I'll go see for myself. If it truly is the birth of a Thunder Fiend Lord, I will immediately send a signal to all of you."
The Supremes thought it over, and it seemed this was indeed the most appropriate plan.
"I'll carve out a path."
Xiang Gu let out a great shout, revealing his true form.
The trunk of his massive elephant form lashed out.
In an instant, the Thunder Fiends before him on the path were smashed into pieces.
But this was only on the surface.
The number of Thunder Fiends was endless.
In moments, more poured in from all directions to fill the gap.
It would take no more than a dozen breaths for the path to be blocked again.
"Go quickly," Xiang Gu said in a deep voice.
Lei Jinglong nodded.
Stamping the ground, his figure shot forward like lightning.
In the blink of an eye, he had broken out of the encirclement of countless Thunder Fiends.
The Thunder Fiends did not pursue.
Their sole target was to break through the Supremes' blockade, shatter the Myriad Tribulations Thunder Prison, and release the White Bone Yin Fiend Scripture.
No other objective could sway them.
Lei Jinglong sped toward the source of the demonic light.
Before long, he arrived at the place where the pillar had risen.
There, a great altar stood.
Within the altar, countless Thunder Fiends were piled together.
Their limbs were fused into each other in grotesque and absurd ways.
But on the body of this monstrous patchwork, Lei Jinglong felt an abnormally powerful aura—
One that could almost threaten him.
At this moment, many devil cultivators surrounded the altar.
Among them were five exceptionally powerful Supremes of the filth demon race.
The filth demons' bodies resembled soft sludge, lying limply on the ground.
On this heap of slime, various limbs not belonging to demons were embedded.
The sight was eerie beyond measure.
The devil cultivators, upon seeing Lei Jinglong, paled in shock, thinking their scheme had been discovered by the Thunder Prison Clan.
But when the five filth demon Supremes saw him, they all smiled.
"Lei Jinglong, you came quickly."
The leading filth demon Supreme, Hui Xie, laughed heartily.
Lei Jinglong frowned. "This wasn't part of our original plan."
"You never told me you would be birthing a Thunder Fiend Lord."
"If I had known, I would never have cooperated with you."
Hui Xie laughed loudly. "Lei Jinglong, don't be angry."
"The Thunder Fiend Lord is very important to us. If we can take it out, it will be a great force."
"But only here can we nurture its birth."
Hui Xie continued, "Our cooperation still stands."
"I can ensure that the White Bone Yin Fiend Scripture and the Myriad Tribulations Thunder Prison will no longer clash, completely separating them."
"And I will also tell you how to indirectly control the Myriad Tribulations Thunder Prison."
"In this way, both of us will gain our most important benefits. Why not do it?"
