Lightning-Attracting Talisman

"Broken chain?" Marcus Xuanchen burst out laughing. "Do you even know what this is?"

"I don't know."

"This is the Thunder-Heaven Void-Breaking Chain! Forged by the Celestial Empress's artisans, tempered with Phoenix Fire for a thousand years. It's a top-grade Celestial Relic, able to pierce the Void and summon Genesis tribulation lightning from ancient ruins! Today, you'll get a taste of the fury of Genesis lightning!" Marcus declared.

As he spoke, Marcus released the chain in his hand. One end of the iron chain suddenly flared with dazzling colors and burrowed deep into the Void.

Sean Shaw drew the Puresteel Sword and slashed at the iron chain.

But at that moment, lightning suddenly surged along the iron chain.

That really was Genesis tribulation lightning!

Lucia Lu panicked and urgently transmitted, "Cut it quickly!"

In a flash, the Puresteel Sword collided with the Void-Breaking Chain—"Bang!" echoed through the air.

The Puresteel Sword was an ancient divine artifact.

Only the Emperor's Sword could surpass it; few other divine swords could match its sharpness.

Though the Thunder-Heaven Void-Breaking Chain was a top-grade Celestial Relic, it still couldn't withstand a single slash from the Puresteel Sword.

One of the chain's links cracked open.

But it wasn't completely severed yet.

Lightning instantly raced along the chain, slamming into Sean Shaw.

"Don't come near!" a voice transmitted to Lucia Lu. "I'm fine! The lightning is being absorbed by the Tenfold Oblivion Arrow!"

Lucia Lu saw his Divine Robe torn, but he himself was largely unharmed, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

She hadn't even finished sighing when another bolt of lightning came crashing down.

This time, the Puresteel Sword completely severed the chain.

This time, the Genesis tribulation lightning no longer followed the chain, but shot straight for Marcus Xuanchen.

Marcus Xuanchen screamed in agony, collapsing to the ground like a roasted chicken.

"Ah! Someone implanted a Lightning-Attracting Talisman in him!" Faustin exclaimed from inside the Life-pouch.

He opened his Heaven's Eye, able to see things even the Divine Race couldn't.

"Lightning-Attracting Talisman?" Lucia Lu's eyes widened.

As they spoke, the Void-Breaking Chain, still unrecalled, kept dragging down lightning—every bolt slamming into Marcus Xuanchen.

After he died, the tribulation lightning stopped targeting him and instead randomly blasted craters into the ground.

Once he died, the tribulation lightning stopped targeting him and instead blasted wild craters into the ground.

Sean Shaw removed the chain from his body and gazed at the Void-Breaking Chain still drawing lightning from the Void, trying to recall it.

However, not knowing the Celestial Relic's operating mechanisms, he failed.

Lucia Lu was about to reveal herself when a large group of people arrived.

The Celestial Emperor, Tanya Quinn, Soren Lann, Quentin Lian, and several others flew over.

Apparently, someone had witnessed the commotion and reported it to them.

The Celestial Empress gestured, recalling the Void-Breaking Chain.

Then she looked at Sean Shaw: "Sean, why is my Celestial Relic in your hands?"

Sean Shaw was about to answer when someone suddenly rushed toward Marcus Xuanchen's charred corpse: "This... this is my Divine Father!"

It was Darren Xuan.

He excitedly took a signet ring from the corpse's hand: "This is my Divine Father's signet ring! Fifth Highness, is this my Divine Father?"

Sean Shaw nodded. "He is Marcus Xuanchen."

"How could you..." Darren Xuan's eyes filled with tears. "No matter what he did, His Majesty would judge him. Why did you kill him without knowing the truth?"

"I didn't kill him," Sean Shaw said. "He tried to use the chain to draw lightning and kill me, but was killed by his own trap."

"Is that so?" the Celestial Empress asked. "Then why is my Thunder-Heaven Void-Breaking Chain here? I kept it in the Celestial Palace's vault."
