120: Chapter 120: Heavenly Thunder Pearl

Chen Jiancang looked over with a curious expression, discovering that the item in Lian Chilu's hand was a black sphere, emanating a terrifying Aura with occasional bursts of blue light.

"Heavenly Thunder Pearl!"

Chen Jiancang instinctively retreated backward; he had seen descriptions of the Heavenly Thunder Pearl in the books within the Chen Family's library.

The Heavenly Thunder Pearl is a weapon similar to a Magical Artifact, naturally formed when heavenly thunder strikes spirit ore.

It contains the destructive power of thunder and lightning, and once triggered, it will unleash violent heavenly thunder.

The power of a Heavenly Thunder Pearl varies depending on the amount of thunder and lightning power it contains.

The Heavenly Thunder Pearl in Lian Chilu's hand already had thunder and lightning power erupting from its surface, and based on the color of the electric arcs, it could be judged to be comparable to the full-strength strike of a late Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Heavenly Thunder Pearls are extremely unstable and can easily activate on their own.

Records show that many Cultivators, after obtaining a Heavenly Thunder Pearl, were destroyed by it activating on its own before they could even use it against an enemy.

This was also the reason Chen Jiancang instinctively dodged backward the moment he saw the Heavenly Thunder Pearl.

"Hehe, Young Master, don't worry.

I've had this Heavenly Thunder Pearl for a long time; it's not that easy for it to activate on its own."

Lian Chilu covered her mouth and chuckled as she watched Chen Jiancang's appearance of trying to dodge away.

"Cough, cough, it's never wrong to be careful.

The Heavenly Thunder Pearl contains the power of thunder and lightning; once activated, nothing will remain within a thirty-zhang radius."

Chen Jiancang shook his head.

This item was perfect for dealing with the Insect Cultivator Protector.

However, Chen Jiancang looked at Lian Chilu, his expression changing subtly.

At this moment, he had already realized that he had been tricked by Lian Chilu.

Activating a Heavenly Thunder Pearl requires a certain amount of time.

If one deliberately dodges, a distance of thirty zhang is not too large a range, and one can easily evade it, rendering the Heavenly Thunder Pearl harmless.

At this moment, the Insect Cultivator Protector was trapped within the cage formed by the Cage Talisman, with limited room to evade.

If the Heavenly Thunder Pearl were activated now, the Insect Cultivator Protector would have nowhere to hide.

Lian Chilu had actually calculated him into her plans long ago.

From the start, she had the intention of joining forces with Chen Jiancang, but she made Chen Jiancang be the one to request it first.

This way, she could achieve cooperation while also making Chen Jiancang agree to three conditions.

"You..."

Chen Jiancang understood at this moment and intended to question Lian Chilu.

But Lian Chilu continued to giggle, pointing at Chen Jiancang and saying, "Young Master, once a word is spoken, it's hard for four horses to catch up.

You're not thinking of going back on your word, are you?"

Chen Jiancang was momentarily speechless, unsure how to reply.

He hadn't expected Lian Chilu's state of mind to be so stable.

Wasn't she afraid that in the end, there wouldn't be enough time to trap the Insect Cultivator Protector and use the Heavenly Thunder Pearl?

Chen Jiancang took a deep breath, suppressing the frustration in his heart.

Now was not the time to dwell on these matters.

He fixed his gaze on the Heavenly Thunder Pearl and asked, "How do you plan to use this Heavenly Thunder Pearl to deal with the Insect Cultivator Protector?

The Cage Talisman won't last much longer."

Lian Chilu put away her smile, her expression becoming serious.

"I will activate the Heavenly Thunder Pearl the moment the Cage Talisman is about to break.

This requires you all to attract the Insect Cultivator Protector's attention so he has no time to notice me."

Chen Jiancang nodded, but inwardly he mused: The power of the Heavenly Thunder Pearl is enough to deal with a Foundation Establishment cultivator, but whether it can be triggered accurately and without error in such a short amount of time depends on Lian Chilu's methods.

He looked at the Meng Family members and said in a low voice, "Everyone, listen to my command.

Coordinate with Miss Lian to distract the Insect Cultivator Protector."

Meng Yunfan, Meng Yunxuan, and others quickly gathered around.

A Qi Refining eighth-layer Cultivator from the Meng Family said in a deep voice, "Everyone listen to Chen Jiancang's command."

At this moment, Meng Changyi was focused on activating Cage Talisman after Cage Talisman, trying to delay for as long as possible.

At this point, he suddenly noticed that the people who had just left had actually returned.

His brows instantly furrowed into a 'river' shape and he immediately questioned, "Didn't I tell you to leave?

Why did you come back?

Isn't this just throwing away your lives for nothing!"

Chen Jiancang quickly stepped forward and transmitted his voice, saying, "Second Uncle, the situation has changed.

Miss Lian has a Heavenly Thunder Pearl in her hand, whose power is comparable to the full-strength strike of a late Foundation Establishment cultivator.

We plan to use it to deal with the Insect Cultivator Protector.

The plan is for Miss Lian to activate the Heavenly Thunder Pearl the moment the Cage Talisman is about to break, while we are responsible for attracting the Insect Cultivator Protector's attention so he doesn't notice the Heavenly Thunder Pearl."

Hearing this, Meng Changyi's gaze fell upon Lian Chilu, and a flicker of doubt flashed in his eyes.

After all, Lian Chilu was on the opposing side just moments ago.

Her sudden defection made it hard for people to trust her, and this person was full of schemes.

If she were to use the Heavenly Thunder Pearl against them later, no one would be able to escape with their lives.

However, upon reflection, he also felt it was unlikely she would waste such a treasure as the Heavenly Thunder Pearl to deal with them; it didn't seem reasonable.

After all, if she wanted to kill them, she only needed to wait for the Insect Cultivator Protector to break free, and everyone present would be unable to escape.

Meng Changyi weighed the options repeatedly and felt there was no better choice at the moment; he could only choose to trust Lian Chilu.

He took a deep breath, nodded at everyone, signaling them to cooperate with Lian Chilu to kill the Insect Cultivator Protector.

Meng Changyi stopped activating the Cage Talismans.

The Insect Cultivator Protector watched the light of the Cage Talismans grow dimmer, and a cruel smile appeared in his eyes.

"Haha, Meng Changyi, you're out of Cage Talismans, aren't you?

Let's see what you'll use to stop me now."

The Insect Cultivator Protector couldn't help but increase the force of his Tusk Scimitar, frantically attacking the cage, about to break free.

"None of you are running?

Good, good, good.

When I get out, it will save me the trouble of chasing you."

The Insect Cultivator Protector looked outside the cage and saw that none of the Meng Family members had left, a look of joy appearing on his face.

"Get ready!"

Chen Jiancang shouted.

The Meng Family members successively unleashed their Magical Artifacts, releasing streams of spiritual power attacks, attempting to attract the Insect Cultivator Protector's attention.

Just as the Cage Talisman was about to break, Lian Chilu quickly formed hand seals, injecting all her spiritual power into the Heavenly Thunder Pearl.

She hid the Heavenly Thunder Pearl among the numerous colorful spiritual energy attacks and threw it towards the cage.

In an instant, crackling sounds emanated from the surface of the Heavenly Thunder Pearl, but its sound was drowned out by the shouts of the Meng Family members.

The Insect Cultivator Protector only thought the Meng Family members were making a final, meaningless struggle and did not notice that the Heavenly Thunder Pearl was already very close to his side.

Just a few breaths later, cracks on the surface of the Heavenly Thunder Pearl emitted extremely deep blue arcs of light.

Innumerable bolts of blue lightning, as thick as arms, surged out from within, carrying a world-destroying momentum as they blasted towards the Insect Cultivator Protector.

"What!"

The Insect Cultivator Protector was greatly startled.

Only now did he notice the existence of the small black sphere beside him, but it was too late.

"Heavenly Thunder Pearl!!!"

The Insect Cultivator Protector also recognized the origin of the Heavenly Thunder Pearl at this moment.

Facing the terrifying, world-destroying attack of the Heavenly Thunder Pearl, the Insect Cultivator Protector's expression changed drastically.

Without time to think further, he hastily summoned a dense swarm of armored beetle-like demonic insects.

These demonic insects quickly formed a black barrier in an instant, attaching themselves to the Insect Cultivator Protector's body.
