Chapter 1776: 235: Heavenly Thunder Pearl

Capítulo 1776: Chapter 235: Heavenly Thunder Pearl

Several days had passed, and thus General Ma and his conspirators who attempted to subvert the regime had already taken action and were close to success.

Over these days, influenced by General Ma’s group, the Crown Prince of the Kingdom of Leizhen decided to take a risk and oust his father, the Emperor.

He ventured into the restricted area of the Imperial Palace under the guise of an inspection, stole another half of the Thunderclap Jade out of the palace, and planned to join it with the piece General Ma had seized to summon the Heavenly Thunder Pearl.

The Heavenly Thunder Pearl is the highest-level Spiritual Pearl nurtured by the Thunder Sea and is considered the supreme object.

It can command the thunder and lightning in the Thunder Sea for one’s own use and can autonomously unleash thunder and lightning to annihilate living beings.

It was because of possessing the Heavenly Thunder Pearl that the founding ancestor of the Kingdom of Leizhen could dominate and establish the Kingdom in this world of thunder and lightning.

Therefore, throughout the ages, the Kingdom of Leizhen has regarded the Heavenly Thunder Pearl as a symbol of inheritance; whoever possesses the Heavenly Thunder Pearl is considered the Emperor of the Kingdom of Leizhen.

The current “Thunder King” does not have the Heavenly Thunder Pearl; he is merely a successor from the previous king, and as soon as someone acquires the Heavenly Thunder Pearl, he would have to abdicate.

The Heavenly Thunder Pearl has been lost for hundreds of thousands of years, not seen since the last great ancient battle.

During these hundreds of thousands of years, every ruler of the Kingdom of Leizhen has entered the Thunder Sea in search of the Heavenly Thunder Pearl.

They attempted to find a new Heavenly Thunder Pearl to consolidate the Kingdom’s power but found nothing.

This is because the Heavenly Thunder Pearl is an extremely difficult Spiritual Pearl to nurture, possibly taking hundreds of thousands or millions of years to cultivate just one in the Thunder Sea; moreover, the Heavenly Thunder Pearl is hidden within the Thunder Sea, making it hard to discover with the naked eye, only by comprehending the Way of Thunder can its presence be sensed.

Comprehending the Way of Thunder is not easy, even for the current Thunder King of the Mysterious Immortal Fifth Realm, who has little assurance.

In such a challenging situation, the monarchs and ministers of the Kingdom of Leizhen thought of the divine objects lost by their ancestor.

In ancient times, the ancestor created a divine object— the Thunderous Heavensent Badge— to make the Heavenly Thunder Pearl easier to locate and search for within the Thunder Sea.

Within the Thunderous Heavensent Badge is an Array that can be activated to perform the Thunderous Heavensent Technique to summon the lost Heavenly Thunder Pearl or the one hidden in the Thunder Sea.

Thus, the Thunderous Heavensent Badge has become an object of military contention, especially in the Kingdom of Leizhen, where no one is not eyeing that supreme throne.

General Ma’s group is scheming for this, but General Ma has deeper hidden motives.

Meanwhile, the Moonlight Organization does not covet the throne of the Kingdom of Leizhen, but rather the immense power of the Thunder Sea.

By possessing the Heavenly Thunder Pearl, they can absorb the vast Power of Thunder and Lightning for their own use. Once so, they can dominate the World of All Things.

Similarly, if the Kingdom of Leizhen seizes the Heavenly Thunder Pearl, their strides of conquest in the World of All Things will be significantly hindered.

…

Having stolen the other half of the Thunderclap Jade, the Crown Prince hurriedly fled the palace to join General Ma and his men.

On the outskirts of Heavenly Thunder City, seeing the Crown Prince rushing out, General Ma and his men beamed with joy and harmony.

The expression of the Crown Prince indicated that he had succeeded. Once the Crown Prince had succeeded, it meant they were on the verge of obtaining the Heavenly Thunder Pearl. Once they obtained the Heavenly Thunder Pearl, they could overthrow the regime and become the new “Thunder King.”

Upon merging, General Ma and his men immediately took the Crown Prince and fled to a more distant countryside area.

At a suitable location, they stopped, ascended into the sky, joined the two broken pieces of Thunderclap Jade together, and then activated it with their Cultivation Power.

“Star!”

Soon after, the shattered Thunderous Heavensent Badge burst forth with a dazzling light, illuminating the sky; then it mended itself.

The mended Thunderous Heavensent Badge then released Divine Power, autonomously summoning the Heavenly Thunder Pearl.

“Rumble!”

Soon after, dark clouds swirled in a part of the sky on the outskirts of Heavenly Thunder City, with lightning flashing and thunder rumbling, restlessly.

No one knew what was happening, nor why such an anomaly appeared in the clear sky.

“What… what’s happening? Why is there an anomaly on the outskirts?”

“Could it be that the Thunder God is angry?”

“But our offerings have never ceased; why would it be angry?”

“No, I see someone in the sky on the outskirts.”

This resident of Heavenly Thunder City wasn’t mistaken; indeed, there were people in the distant sky, clearly seen by the cultivators of Heavenly Thunder City and the surrounding areas.

They didn’t know who these people were, so they flew over to investigate the situation.

Among the entourage of the Third Prince heading for Heavenly Thunder City to deliver the message, Master Zhang, one of the close aides, saw such an anomaly in the direction of Heavenly Thunder City and thought that General Ma’s group of rebels was about to succeed, so he resolved to use an extremely precious Instant Teleport Charm to transport himself to the Imperial Palace of Heavenly Thunder City.

Along with the army heading for Heavenly Thunder City, Lin Yifan and Princess Fire Lotus also saw this astonishing anomaly.

In the direction of Heavenly Thunder City, the sky had a giant black vortex, with a diameter estimated to be tens of kilometers, vast enough to instill fear.

“Are they about to succeed?” Princess Fire Lotus inquired.

“I think they are about to,” Lin Yifan replied.

“Who could have thought this group would risk everything, turning the tables, it seems we were too cautious.” Princess Fire Lotus was somewhat annoyed.

Because of this, they would be hard-pressed to gain substantial rewards.

“What exactly is the use of this fragmented black Jade Pendant, why does everyone desire it?” Lin Yifan asked.

This question had been perplexing him, so he hoped the informed Princess Fire Lotus could provide some clarity.

“I only know the Kingdom of Leizhen has issued a bounty, saying that obtaining the fragmented Thunder-patterned black Jade Pendant could be brought to the Kingdom of Leizhen in exchange for rich rewards, but I know nothing beyond that,” Princess Fire Lotus answered.

“Come on, I thought you knew some insider information, turns out you were just after the rich rewards.” Lin Yifan was very disappointed, and also a bit annoyed.

“I never said I knew anything,” Princess Fire Lotus retorted, unwilling to be the scapegoat.

At this juncture, whether or not they knew the insider information was irrelevant, Lin Yifan only wanted to know, in this coup of the Kingdom of Leizhen, who was destined to win.

If it were General Ma’s group, then it would be better for him to escape as soon as possible; if it were the royal family of the Kingdom of Leizhen, they might still profit a little.

Master Zhang, one of the close aides by the Third Prince’s side, reached the Heavenly Thunder Palace in Heavenly Thunder City in a few blinks.

He rushed in, reporting this matter to the current Emperor immediately.

The Emperor of the Kingdom of Leizhen had long perceived the anomaly in the sky on the outskirts of Heavenly Thunder City.

He had already guessed what was happening, so with confidence, he stood in the palace watching, not in a hurry to investigate the situation outside like other cultivators.

Seeing the Emperor at the door of the Golden Luang Hall, Master Zhang immediately knelt to pay respects, then urgently reported General Ma’s intention to overthrow the regime.

Upon hearing this news, the Emperor of the Kingdom of Leizhen was not surprised.
