Seeking Immortality in a Bizarre World

Chapter 77 Thunderous Charge Curse_1


First Order Advanced Spell: Thunderous Charge Curse!

The Thunderous Charge Curse is a special attack spell that, in addition to attacking the target, also has the effect of imbuing Magic Artifacts and the user with thunder.

The former boosts the Magic Artifact's flight speed and thunder power, enhancing its lethality.

The latter, with thunder surging through one's body, increases one's speed and explosive power, with melee attacks dealing additional thunder damage.

It was a versatile thunder-attribute spell.

However, it had advantages and disadvantages; few Cultivators who learned the Thunderous Charge Curse chose to apply its self-augmentation.

Thunder-attribute spells were known for their destructive power, and ordinary Magic Artifacts and Cultivator bodies couldn't withstand the might of the Thunderous Charge Curse. For the former, the Magic Artifact would, at most, be destroyed; for the latter, it was a matter of life and death.

If one uses the Thunderous Charge Curse on oneself and the enemy doesn't die, the user might blow up first...

Jia Ren wasn't worried about the adverse effects; he would soon be cultivating the Mixed Refining Vajra Body. As his Proficiency Level increased, his body would become stronger, and handling the additional effects of the Thunderous Charge Curse wouldn't be an issue.

His Extraordinary Saint Level Wind Control Skill was already astonishingly fast; how much faster could it become with the additional buff from the Thunderous Charge Curse?

With superior speed, whether to fight or flee is my decision.

This was the spell Jia Ren liked the most. Its only downside was... it was expensive.

"The Thunderous Charge Curse costs one hundred and twenty Spirit Stones."

The price, compared to other First Order high-tier spells, was fifty percent higher, reflecting the premium for the most destructive thunder-attribute spell.

Jia Ren paid three hundred Spirit Stones without hesitation and left with the Ban-Breaking Finger and the Thunderous Charge Curse.

The anticipated situation of being followed didn't happen. It was unclear whether this was due to Tianbao Pavilion's reputation or the changes brought about by his cultivation reaching the Late Stage Qi-Refining.

In the following time, Jia Ren focused his energy on cultivating the Ban-Breaking Finger and the Thunderous Charge Curse.

He quickly grasped the basics of the Ban-Breaking Finger. The Jade Slip contained a simple restrictive formation, which he practiced destroying with the Ban-Breaking Finger.

It was cast quickly, consumed little spiritual power, and his Proficiency Level improved at an amazing rate.

Jia Ren would only have one chance to break the Yang Shengwu Five Elements Sect's restriction. Whether he succeeded or failed, it would attract the Enforcement Division Cultivators.

To be safe, it's best to raise the Ban-Breaking Finger to the Grandmaster Level.

It's uncertain how much time I have, so the quicker I meet the requirements, the better.

Compared to the smooth progress with the Ban-Breaking Finger, reaching the initial stage of the Thunderous Charge Curse was much more troublesome.

For five consecutive days, he hadn't even crossed the threshold.

The burst of thunder was hard to control effectively. Each time the spell failed, the straying lightning would make his body tremble, preventing him from practicing again for a short time.

"Finally, I succeeded!"

Early on the sixth day, Jia Ren couldn't recall how many times he had attempted the Thunderous Charge Curse, but he finally cast it successfully.

This signified that he had officially reached the initial stage of the Thunderous Charge Curse. What followed was the process of becoming proficient and gaining stable control.

Jia Ren hadn't been happy for long when an Enforcement Division Cultivator showed up at his door.

"Don't you know that using attack spells is forbidden in the Inner City?"

Had someone reported him? Jia Ren glanced at his neighbor, who was sneakily peeking toward his residence. It was unclear whether the man was merely enjoying the drama as a bystander or was the instigator behind the Law Enforcement Office's visit.

"Come with us to the Law Enforcement Office!"

To the Law Enforcement Office? Once inside, I fear that neither the Magic Artifacts on my person nor the contents of my Storage Bag will be safe.

"Your Honor, please forgive me." Jia Ren had no choice but to spend Spirit Stones to avoid disaster, handing over thirty.

"At least you know what's good for you!" After taking the Spirit Stones, the Enforcement Division Cultivator left, satisfied.

Jia Ren saw the schadenfreude in his neighbor's eyes and felt annoyed.

If someone doesn't want me to be happy, I won't let them have an easy time either.

He was Zhen Yi; if something happened, he could just switch to a new identity.

He knocked on his neighbor's door and stared at the man with an unfriendly expression.

"Did you report me to the Law Enforcement Office?"

The neighbor's eyes betrayed panic as he quickly said, "What are you talking about! Don't slander me without evidence."

It was true that the neighbor had reported Jia Ren, but how could he admit such a thing?

Jia Ren wasted no more words, grabbing a Lime Bag and throwing it at him.

The neighbor, wary of Jia Ren, immediately raised his Spirit Shield.

Jia Ren was prepared. A golden light flashed at his fingertip, instantly piercing the newly formed Spirit Shield.

The lime and mixed itching powder landed squarely on the neighbor.

Instantly, his entire body began to itch unbearably, and multiple areas swelled up red.

"How dare you attack me! I'm reporting this to the Law Enforcement Office right now! You're dead! No one can save you now!"

He hadn't expected Jia Ren to be so bold as to openly use poison in broad daylight within the Inner City, so flagrantly flouting the law.

"You should first worry about whether you'll survive this," Jia Ren said coolly.

"It has always been Mister Zhen who does the killing; no one has ever dared to bully me like this!" Zhen Yi declared.

Is Zhen Yi so fearless, willing to trade his life for mine? the neighbor thought. How had I managed to provoke such a relentless character? His guts churned with regret. It's better to provoke a Five Elements Sect Cultivator than to mess with a ruthless character who has nothing to lose.

"Here are thirty Spirit Stones, to compensate for your loss," the neighbor hurriedly said, taking out the Spirit Stones.

"Go ahead and report me to the Law Enforcement Office. As long as I'm still alive, you better take good care of your own head!" Jia Ren took the Spirit Stones and left with a flourish.

Not even half an incense stick's worth of time later, the neighbor hastily moved out.

In the future, I'll have to practice spells outside the Great Wilderness Market, Jia Ren decided. I'll roam the outskirts more, hunting First Order low-grade Magical Beasts to gain combat experience.

His previous host's experience and actual combat still had some differences; only through true battle could he fully absorb and digest those experiences.

He would only operate around the outskirts, adamantly not venturing into the Great Wilderness proper. He would only target First Order low-grade Magical Beasts, ensuring he had an overwhelming power advantage. There shouldn't be a problem.

Based on his past life's experiences, Jia Ren went to an area north of the Great Wilderness Market.

Here, weeds grew rampant, and solitary trees sparsely dotted the landscape.

This place was extremely close to the Great Wilderness Market. Countless Loose Cultivators hunting Magical Beasts traversed it daily, so encountering Magical Beasts here was rare.

Jia Ren moved deeper along the edge of the undergrowth, finding a secluded and uninhabited area.

"Fireball Technique!"

A soccer ball-sized sphere of fire, radiating scorching heatwaves, flew towards an open space in the distance.

BOOM!

Large flames exploded, leaving behind a charred crater about five feet wide.

The Fireball Technique used by ordinary Cultivators was only the size of an egg. However, when raised to the Grandmaster Level, it was as large as a soccer ball, and its lethality was even more terrifying.

"Thunderous Charge Curse!"

Jia Ren approached a giant tree that would take two people to encircle with their arms. He chanted silently in his heart. Moments later, white lightning danced and flickered in his right palm, accompanied by flying sparks.

"Break!"

The Thunderous Charge Curse shot towards the giant tree. The piercing sound of thunder vanished in a flash.

CRACK!

The lightning pierced through the tree trunk, leaving a gap filled with scorch marks. Unable to bear the damage, the giant tree crashed to the ground.

Let's test the effect of the Thunderous Charge Curse when applied to a Magic Artifact.

The Black Fang Sword flew out. Thunder light was imbued upon the Magic Sword, and countless electric sparks could be seen dancing along the blade, making it resemble a divine sword of heavenly judgment.

"Slash!"

Jia Ren controlled the thunder-charged Black Fang Sword to strike the fallen giant tree. With a flash of lightning, the blade had already cleaved the massive tree in two.

The Black Fang Sword is at least twice as fast as before, and its destructive power has also increased!

Delighted, Jia Ren recalled the Black Fang Sword, only to see faint cracks on his longest-kept Magic Artifact. He feared it couldn't be used many more times…

The power increase was significant, but the only drawback was that it quickly wore out Magic Artifacts.

Applying the Thunderous Charge Curse to himself was out of the question for now. He didn't even need to think about it to know it would significantly impact his body. Before completing his Body Refinement, he absolutely wouldn't risk it.

The entry-level Thunderous Charge Curse already has such formidable destructive power. I wonder if a Grandmaster Level Thunderous Charge Curse could break through a Superior Grade Defense Artifact?

In the time that followed, Jia Ren repeatedly practiced the Fireball Technique and the Thunderous Charge Curse.

For the Fireball Technique, he focused on precision. For the Thunderous Charge Curse, the priority was to shorten the casting time.
