On The Path Of Cultivation To Become God

Chapter 216: Crystal Effects



Have you ever wondered what it felt like to be bitten by a thousand fire ants? The sheer intensity of pain would be unimaginable as their tiny, venomous jaws relentlessly pierce your skin.

Every bite would send searing waves of agony throughout your body, causing you to writhe in torment. The excruciating sensation would be multiplied by the sheer number of bites, leaving you in a state of unimaginable suffering.

And that is what Chen Tian felt when he used the lightning crystal power.

The lightning altar inside his body glowed with a blinding intensity, as if filled with pure lightning energy.

His blue eyes shone with a galactic hue, mirroring the crackling electricity that coursed through his veins. With the sudden surge of power, his muscles twitched uncontrollably, his body convulsing in sync with the lightning's erratic dance.

The power surged through his veins, coursing with an electrifying force that made every cell in his body vibrate with raw power.

It was as if he had become a conduit for the very essence of lightning itself.

The electricity danced across his skin, leaving trails of shimmering light.

|ZRZRZRRRZ|

|BOOOMMMMM|

His speed shot up exponentially, propelling him forward with unimaginable velocity.

In the blink of an eye, he was gone, leaving only a trail of electrically charged air in his wake. The world blurred around him as he effortlessly moved.

He was a blur of motion as he crossed the vast distance between him and the Wolf Beast.

The Wolf Beast, caught off guard by the sudden burst of lightning-infused power, stood frozen as he couldn't react.

With a single swift motion, Chen Tian delivered a devastating strike, his fist crackling with electricity.

|Bam!!|

Chen Tian's fist connected with the Wolf Beast's chest. The impact was like the thunderclap of a thousand storms.

The wolf was blown backward, crashing into the ground with a resounding thud. Its body was torn and battered, the Wolf Beast was left lifeless.

Chen Tian stood over the fallen beast, his expression calm as he looked at the power of his punch.

The body of the Wolf Beast was completely destroyed, reduced to a pile of broken bones and shredded fur. Chen Tian's lightning-infused power had obliterated the creature.

A grin spread across his face.

'My body feels lighter than ever before,' he thought, marveling at the newfound strength coursing through his veins.

If compared to his speed alone, Chen Tian was akin to a 5th Stage Meridian Opening expert. However, with the power of the lightning crystal, he could easily surpass even a 7th Stage Meridian Opening expert in terms of speed and agility.

Not only that, but his physical strength and endurance had also been greatly enhanced. Each movement felt effortless, and he was sure that if faced with a 7th Stage Meridian Opening Realm opponent, Chen Tian could easily emerge victorious.

The jump from an early to a high-level Meridian Opening Realm was a significant feat, and Chen Tian had achieved it with the help of the lightning crystal.

'The lightning law that I could use also increased in both power and versatility," thought Chen Tian as he felt the surge of energy coursing through his veins.

****

☆Element Mastery:

Lightning: Law: 35% (50%)

Fire: Law: 13%

****

With a 50% mastery level in the lightning law, Chen Tian reached the level of a Core Formation Realm Cultivator who could use the lightning law without any negative effects.

Chen Tian did not feel any burden even using this much law power, as if his body were made specifically to handle the immense energy. The surge of power gave him a sense of invincibility, as if he could conquer any opponent standing in his way.

'Let's wait, and this is what happens after the effect ends,' Chen Tian thought to himself, wanting to see what would happen after the Lightning Crystal effect runs out.

Chen Tian chose to sit under a tree and wait. After 5 minutes, the power of the lightning crystal ended.

The moment the effects of the lightning crystal ended, Chen Tian felt an unimaginable pain course through his body.

His muscles clenched, and he fell to the ground. Every nerve in his body seemed to be on fire, and he could feel his strength draining away.

His muscles felt like they were being torn apart, and his veins were burning with acid, as if every nerve felt like it was being ignited by a thousand fires.

'Damn it, the side effects are worse than I thought,' Chen Tian gritted his teeth, struggling to stay standing.

He had underestimated the toll the lightning crystal would take on his body, even with the Chaos God Body. The effects were unbearable.

As he lay on the ground, Chen Tian recovered in about 10 minutes from the initial pain.

"So it's a temporary boost," he muttered to himself, slowly pushing himself up from the ground.

Despite the slight pain, he could move. Chen Tian could feel his muscles trembling with fatigue, but he forced himself to take a step forward.

'I should keep this technique for when it's absolutely necessary,' he thought to himself.

Having a technique that boosted his strength from the low Meridian Realm (3rd Stage) to the high level of the Meridian Opening Realm (7th Stage) was no joke.

It was a power that could turn the tide in any battle, but the toll it took on his body was immense.

Chen Tian knew that relying on the lightning crystal's power too frequently would only further weaken his body.

Chen Tian also thought about the fire crystal effect it would have on his body. Would it be as draining as the lightning crystal, or would it offer a different set of advantages and disadvantages?

He didn't want to end up in a bad state, like when he used the lightning crystal.

Storing the body of the Wolf Beast inside his storage ring, Chen Tian kept moving toward Whispering Pine Woods and waited until all sides of the lightning crystal had completely worn off.

He knew that experimenting with the fire crystal while still experiencing the residual effects of the lightning crystal could potentially have disastrous consequences.

On his way, many beasts crossed his path, but Chen Tian skillfully killed them, as none came close to matching his strength and skill.

With just a sword in his hand, he effortlessly slashed through any beast coming his way.

He stored the bodies of the beasts in his storage ring, as he decided that he would absorb them later, as it wasn't that beneficial for him since all the beasts were low-level.

In 20 minutes, Chen Tian fully recovered his strength and felt that his body was back to its peak condition. The lingering effects of the lightning crystal had vanished.

"So 10 minutes where I can't move and 20 minutes to fully recover," Chen Tian thought to himself.

Since he knew what the lightning crystal did, Chen Tian intended to find out more about the fire crystal and see if it had similar properties.

He searched for any beast that he could potentially try the new ability on.

After 15 minutes of searching, Chen Tian spotted a large, menacing beast lurking in the distance. It had sharp fangs, fiery red eyes, and a thick, scaly hide.

****

Name: Emberclaw Serpent

Cultivation: 8th Qi Refinement Realm

****

Chen Tian approached the beast upon seeing its cultivation level.

"Fire Crystal Open!"

The exact brilliant, fiery glow emitted from the fire crystal in Chen Tian's dantian as the fire altar activated.

Chen Tian's blue eyes turned crimson red as he tapped into his newfound ability.

Unlike the lightning crystal, where Chen Tian felt that his entire body was surging with immeasurable strength, the fire crystal made Chen Tian feel like he was being consumed by a raging inferno.

Chen Tian felt a surge of energy coursing through him as his brain seemed to be working ten times faster than before.

His six instincts heightened, allowing him to react with lightning speed and precision. Every movement felt effortless, as if he had become one with the fire itself.

Flames danced around his body, shielding him from harm and amplifying his attacks.

|Wshooooshh| Chen Tian wasn't faster than when he used the lightning crystal, but the strength behind his body was several times greater.

||HISSSSSSS!!!!!||

Emberclaw Serpent hissed as it felt Chen Tian's approaching presence. Its scales stood on end, sensing the immense power emanating from him.

Chen Tian's eyes glowed with fiery color as he made quick and smooth movements, drawing a sword stroke with his hand that sent a surge of flames made of sword aura towards Emberclaw Serpent.

The serpent recoiled in pain as the flames engulfed its body, its hisses turning into agonized screams.

It didn't have the chance to fight back, as Chen Tian destroyed the beast with one powerful shot. The serpent's body crumbled, leaving behind nothing but the lingering smell of burned scales.

'Huh, that was easier than I thought,' Chen Tian muttered to himself, wiping the sweat off his forehead.

He stepped back and deactivated the Fire Crystal, as a great burden was on his mind.

Not only did the fire crystal boost his mind and enhance his focus, but it also amplified all of his attacks.

Just now, Chen Tian used the first level of sword aura, but if compared, it could not match the power of his attack with the activated Fire Crystal.

His attack reached the peak of the second level of sword aura; not only this, but his fire element was also strengthened.

'So the lightning crystal enhances all of his physical abilities; as for the fire crystal, does it enhance all my attacks elementally or not?' Chen Tian thought to himself.

His mind was under great pressure after using the fire crystal. He was sure that he could only use it for 5 minutes in his current state before facing the risk of severe backlash.

After taking some rest, Chen Tian decided to absorb the body of the Emberclaw Serpent since he didn't want any burned bodies in his ring.

After absorbing the beast, Chen Tian's cultivation didn't seem to have improved significantly, but he could feel a subtle change in his mind and body. He felt better after absorbing the beast's body.

'Wait perhaps!'
