143: Chapter 143 Born to Control Tribulation Lightning
That Chaos Divine Thunder cloud, which had made the bones of every Immortal tremble, along with that spear of Lightning Tribulation that judged all things, vanished because of a single, clear cry.
The entire newly born Heaven realm returned to brightness from the gloom.
The newly cast Lingxiao Treasure Hall shimmered under the Immortal light.
The newly sprouted vegetation stretched its body.
Everything was very peaceful.
The terrifying celestial phenomenon that had just occurred, enough to be written into the history books of the Immortal realm, felt like a dream.
Yet, the pure and domineering Dao rhythm of thunder still lingered in the air.
Every Immortal's heart pounded wildly.
That was no dream.
Everyone remained frozen in place.
Whether they were the newly promoted minor Immortals of the Heaven or the newly surrendered giants of the Demonic Path, none dared to breathe, their gazes all pinned on the direction of the harem.
Pinned on the palace that had given birth to a "monster."
The previous nine princes and princesses had also had strange phenomena at their births, but it was still within the scope of understanding.
But this tenth one.
Upon birth, he invoked Chaos Divine Thunder of an epoch-making level to "celebrate his birth"?
And even "ate" the Origin of the Lightning Tribulation that could destroy a Great Luo in one gulp?
Is this even a person?
Is it certain that this isn't some ancient Lightning Emperor Reincarnation, coming to his Heaven to experience life?
An absurd thought crept into everyone's head.
What kind of Bloodline does their Heavenly Emperor, Your Majesty, actually have?
Could it be that he specializes in giving birth to such unreasonable Prodigies?
Inside the delivery room.
Li Xuan held his newborn tenth son, feeling great.
The infant in his arms did not cry or fuss, opening a pair of eyes that seemed to hide an endless sea of thunder and stars, curiously sizing up Li Xuan.
He blew a bubble from his small mouth from time to time.
"Your Majesty, this child..."
As the mother, Lei Zhiruo, her face still pale, looked at her son, her eyes filled with shock.
She came from a family of Lightning Spirits and was naturally close to lightning, but the most powerful lightning technique she had ever seen could not compare to even one ten-thousandth of the aura on her child.
That was a stream seeing the ocean; it was a suppression at the level of life itself.
"You've worked hard."
Li Xuan said to Lei Zhiruo, then looked down at the infant in his arms, pondering.
This kid was born at the time the Lingxiao Treasure Hall was completed, and is a Dominator who controls thunder.
Call him Li Xiao?
That lacks vision.
This child, he is thunder itself.
The purest, most Origin thunder.
Thinking of this, Li Xuan settled his mind, a smile appearing on his face.
"No, his name should be more direct."
"Let's call him Li Lei."
The moment Li Xuan decided on the child's name, something happened again.
A wisp of Chaos Divine Thunder, which had been scattered by the crying but not completely disappeared—about the thickness of a hair—somehow pierced through the palace's Formation and drifted in like a thin, purple-black thread.
It was only a remnant, yet its aura of destruction still caused the space of the entire delivery room to emit a "humming" sound.
"Your Majesty, be careful!"
The maids nearby and several concubines who had rushed over to visit instantly turned pale with fright, letting out a scream.
This was Chaos Divine Thunder.
Even if they were Heavenly Immortals or Golden Immortals now, if they were brushed by this thing, they would turn to ash on the spot.
Li Xuan, however, just watched with interest, having no intention of intervening.
Because he saw that in the pure eyes of Li Lei in his arms, there was no fear, but rather, they lit up.
He laughed "giggle."
His small body twisted in the swaddling clothes, and he stretched out a chubby, pink, and tender little hand, reaching toward that wisp of Chaos Divine Thunder.
"Little Ten!"
A concubine's heart almost jumped out.
Lei Zhiruo was even more nervous, covering her mouth, her eyes full of worry.
The next moment, a scene occurred that left everyone dumbfounded.
The wisp of Chaos Divine Thunder that could scare a Golden Immortal out of their wits, the moment it touched Li Lei's little hand, lost all its violent and destructive aura instantly.
It became incomparably docile, obediently wrapping around Li Lei's finger.
Li Lei curiously pinched it.
"Crackle."
The Divine Thunder jumped at his fingertip, making a sound.
Seeming to find it very fun, he opened his small hand and grabbed the wisp of Divine Thunder in his palm, as if kneading a ball of plasticine.
He first rolled the Divine Thunder into a long strip.
Then he rolled it into a round little ball.
The little ball spun around in his palm, and several tiny arcs of electricity separated, drilling in and out between his fingers as if playing with him.
After playing for a while, Li Lei seemed to feel it wasn't enough.
He tossed the thunder ball into the air.
"Whoosh!"
The thunder ball flew into mid-air and then obediently fell back down.
Li Lei opened his small mouth and with an "om nom," actually swallowed the light ball condensed from the Chaos Divine Thunder directly into his stomach.
"Burp."
He let out a milk-voiced burp, a look of satisfaction on his small face, as if he had eaten some delicious snack.
Inside the delivery room.
Silence!
Very silent!
So silent that they could hear each other's breathing!
Whether it was the knowledgeable concubines or the Immortal Maidens nearby, they were all like they had been hit by a immobilization spell, each with their mouths open, their gazes dull.
Their minds were blank.
That was Chaos Divine Thunder!
It was just eaten as a snack like that?
What kind of ultimate, absurd, enhanced-version human cub is this?
Even Heavenly Emperor, Your Majesty himself, probably couldn't do something so exaggerated.
"Hahahaha!"
Li Xuan finally couldn't hold it in and burst into hearty laughter.
As expected of the Chaos Thunder God Body.
A natural Dominator of thunder.
"Good son! You really bring honor to your father!"
He looked down at the still-unsatisfied Li Lei in his arms, his heart filled with grand emotion.
The Myriad Thunder Scepter he had just received as a reward was practically a companion treasure tailored for this child.
And that blueprint for the Chaos Divine Thunder Cannon; if it were built in the future and this kid Li Lei were to man the main cannon, one shot fired would likely make even an Immortal King run far away.
With this kid, one of the most important departments of the Heaven, the "Thunder Department," finally has a Soul.
It has that master who holds the final say.
At this time, outside the palace.
Li Changsheng, Li Qingyue, Li Yan, and their group of older siblings all gathered around, stretching their little heads to look inside.
Li Xuan had not concealed the scene just now, and they had seen it clearly.
"Dad, brother is so amazing! He can actually eat thunder!"
Li Changsheng's eyes were very bright; he could feel that the power of that wisp of Divine Thunder, if it were to explode, would be enough to threaten him.
Yet in his tenth brother's hands, it was as docile as a cat.
"That thunder light is so warm, completely different from my Lunar Power."
Li Qingyue muttered softly, the Lunar Divine Mirror behind her vibrating gently; she was both repelled and curious about that kind of ultimate Yang and rigid Origin power.
And the one most affected was Li Yan.
This eighth prince, born with the "Will Manifests as Law Saint Emperor Body," had wanted to open his mouth to command "Thunder, disperse" when that wisp of Divine Thunder appeared just now.
But when the words reached his lips, he discovered with terror that his Law power was useless in front of that wisp of Divine Thunder.
It was like a local official wanting to command the Emperor's Imperial Guards.
Dreaming.
Because that wisp of Divine Thunder already had its own "master."
Li Yan looked at his brother in the swaddling clothes who was smacking his lips, his small mouth pouting, and for the first time, he doubted his own ability.
"Is this... what they call a perfect professional match?"
A strange term he had heard from his father popped into the little guy's head.
As for the new Heaven members standing on the Lingxiao Treasure Hall square who saw this scene through various Divine Abilities, their reactions were even more intense.
Thump!
A Cultivator who had just been purified from a Devil Head into a Mortal had his legs go weak, and he knelt down prostrate, kowtowing frantically toward the direction of the harem.
His forehead hit the floor tiles paved with star cores, making "thudding" sounds.
He was not afraid, but rather filled with a devotion from the depths of his Soul.
The people beside him were the same.
One. Two. Ten. A hundred.
In the end, the millions of people covering the entire Lingxiao Treasure Hall square all bowed toward the same direction.
Before, when they surrendered, they were more or less reluctant, carrying some confusion about the future.
But at this moment, all distracting thoughts were gone.
Having witnessed such a miracle, having witnessed that newborn prince treating Chaos Divine Thunder as a toy and a snack, only one thought remained in their hearts.
This Heaven is the destination of Heavenly Mandate!
This Heavenly Emperor is the one and only Dominator of all ages!
What they joined was not an ordinary Immortal Dao power, but a true "Divine Court"!
What they are following is a group of "Gods" walking among Mortals!
To be able to become a part of such a Divine Court, even if it is just as a sweeper, is a glory cultivated over three lifetimes!
Li Xuan felt the boiling Luck of the entire Heaven, felt the millions of strands of pious Power Of Faith gathering, and the smile on the corner of his mouth grew richer.
He held Li Lei, stepped out, and his figure appeared at the highest point of the Lingxiao Treasure Hall.
He did not speak, but used his magic power to condense a huge water mirror, clearly reflecting the appearance of Li Lei in his arms, as well as the image of Li Lei stretching out his little hand with a wisp of golden electric arc "crackling" and jumping on his fingertips, into every corner of the Heaven.
Afterward, his majestic voice, like an imperial decree from the Heavenly Dao, resounded through the clouds.
"My son, Li Lei!"
"A natural Thunder God, he shall control the Heavenly Punishment!"
"From this day forth, he shall be the master of the Thunder Department of my Heaven!"
The moment the voice fell, as if to respond to his father's proclamation.
Li Lei in the swaddling clothes, looking at the countless kneeling figures below, looking at this brand new world, laughed "giggle."
He stretched out his little hand.
The wisp of golden electric arc jumping on his fingertips suddenly shot up.
In mid-air, it actually transformed into two golden, shining characters.
Awesome!
