Rebirth of the Useless Bastard Son

The Tianlong Royal Family was the most respected royal family. After the fall of the Tianlong Dynasty, no emperor or royal family had been able to possess the Tianlong spiritual energy, and no other dynasty could create the grand scene of the unification of the Nine Heavens Continent like the Tianlong Royal Family.

The reason for the disappearance of the Tianlong Royal Family and the loss of the Tianlong spiritual energy since then was unknown, and Hengwu Continent had no records handed down.

“I didn’t expect Tan Eyu to be so powerful.” Cheng Yu couldn’t help but sigh when he heard everyone around him praising the Tianlong Royal Family.

He had seen Tan Eyu in armor before, and he already felt that she was no simple ghost slave, but he hadn’t expected him to be from an ancient royal family.

Tian Min was as surprised as anyone. Apart from Li Tianyan and Cheng Qi, Tian Min could be said to be the person who had gotten along with Tan Eyu the most. “Tianyan, is Tan Eyu really the reincarnation of the Tianlong royal family?”

Tian Min couldn’t connect Tan Eyu with the Tianlong royal family no matter how hard he tried.

“Well, that’s right,” Li Tianyan said, not finding it strange.

The Pure Yin fire could suppress all Yin-type things. Although Tan Eyu had once been from a royal family, she had fallen into the underworld when she became a ghost. Moreover, Cheng Qi’s origin was still much purer than Tan Eyu, so it was easy for him to catch her.

“The next step is up to you,” Cheng Qi said to the unfamiliar Tan Eyu in front of him.

Facing this royal Tan Eyu, Cheng Qi still couldn’t help but feel cautious, unable to be as casual as he had been with the ordinary Tan Eyu.

“Yeah, but even though I have Tianlong spiritual energy to protect my body, I may not be able to hold on for long,” Tan Eyu said, raising her head to glance at the extremely oppressive thundercloud.

“I know, just take whatever you can handle,” Cheng Qi naturally understood. After saying that, he took a handful of spiritual pills, sat cross-legged, and meditated. He quickly extracted the high-grade spiritual stones hidden in his sleeves to recover.

The veins opened by Li Tianyan were spacious, and Cheng Qi’s speed in absorbing spiritual stones was rapid. The spiritual power contained in high-grade spiritual stones was over a thousand times stronger than that in low-grade spiritual stones. With them, Cheng Qi could restore his true spiritual energy much faster.

In the blink of an eye, the seventh thunderbolt arrived. Tan Eyu stood in front of Cheng Qi, and the mark on her forehead emitted a dazzling golden light.

When the sky thunder struck Cheng Qi and Tan Eyu, everyone saw that the thick thunder seemed to strike something solid and suddenly exploded in all directions. The nearby mountains were scorched by the remnant power of the thunder.

The cultivators watching from a distance were forced to retreat by the aura of the thunder. The foundation-establishment cultivators had already retreated to the mountaintop, several hundred feet away. Tian Min also took Cheng Yu to a safer place, but Li Tianyan remained motionless.

Yet, Cheng Qi and Tan Eyu were unscathed. The area around them appeared to be shrouded by some kind of solid protection. Seeing the power of the Tianlong Royal Family, many cultivators were even more surprised and envious.

However, as the thunderbolts continued, Tan Eyu did not seem as relaxed as others thought. After absorbing seven thunderbolts, the shield formed by the condensed Tianlong spiritual energy was beginning to crumble.

Tan Eyu pointed at her temples, and the Tianlong Seal on her forehead emitted another burst of light. The protective aura covering them grew stronger once more. She glanced at Cheng Qi, who was sitting cross-legged, meditating. Now, she could only buy him a little more time.

At this moment, Li Tianyan couldn’t help but feel anxious. He could see that Tan Eyu couldn’t hold on much longer, wishing he could rush to help Cheng Qi catch the last few thunderbolts.

Sure enough, when the final thunderbolt fell, the protection formed by the Tianlong spiritual energy was completely shattered. The two core formation puppets were obliterated by the thunder, and even Tan Eyu’s soul was eroded by the thunder’s energy, leaving her barely visible.

The thunder weakened after breaking through the protection but still retained its power as it hurtled toward Cheng Qi. Tan Eyu released thousands of ghosts to stop it, and with a wave of her robe, countless red silk satins rose into the sky, attempting to shield the area. Unfortunately, they couldn’t completely block the thunder.

Tan Eyu’s face tightened, and just as she was about to sacrifice herself, Cheng Qi suddenly opened his eyes.

Seeing the thunder descending from the sky, Cheng Qi didn’t even have time to move. He quickly formed a seal with his hands, drawing a talisman with his true spiritual essence. A beam of fire collided with the falling thunder, releasing the two core formation puppets once again.

Sensing the familiar aura from Cheng Qi’s flame, Tan Eyu’s eyes widened in shock. “This is the pure Yin fire.”

Before she could say more, the exhaustion of blood essence and Tianlong spiritual energy caused Tan Eyu’s soul to fade back to its original state. The python robe on her body reverted to the red wedding dress.

Cheng Qi noticed Tan Eyu’s reaction but couldn’t afford to dwell on it. Seeing her soul faltering, he quickly took her back to the soul-nurturing wood.

Immediately afterward, a loud rumble echoed as nine thunderbolts descended. Cheng Qi, disregarding his exhaustion, formed another seal with his hands while quickly activating the Nether Fire Burning Life Technique.

This time, Cheng Qi’s seals came faster. Every time he added a print, the talisman before him grew clearer. At the moment the thunder fell, he released the nether fire and injected it into the talisman. A powerful pillar of fire shot toward the sky thunder.

The talisman, now with ninety-nine seals stacked upon it, triggered the true spiritual energy Cheng Qi had painstakingly recovered from his body, nearly draining him once more.

The nine thunderbolts were consumed by the fire one after another. The deafening thunder seemed to strike at the hearts of all who heard it. Cheng Qi’s robe was completely burned away by the combined force of the thunder and fire, leaving only the shark silk inner clothes.

Li Tianyan erected a barrier to block the spiritual consciousness of all the cultivators. While others could still hear the thunder, they could no longer see the figures beneath it.

After catching the last nine thunderbolts, Cheng Qi gasped slightly, hearing the roar from above the thunderclouds. As the thunder pillar fell, he had just enough time to release a Nascent Soul puppet to shield himself.
