Chapter 532: Chapter 249: Old Enemies Meet, Fate Plays Tricks (Requesting Monthly Passes)
A million meters high in the sky.
Nine Heavens Thunder Pool.
Though called the "Thunder Pool," its vastness was terrifying. Even with Xu Zhou’s current eyesight, he couldn’t see the end of it.
Some have speculated that this Nine Heavens Thunder Pool exists in the Void and may cover the entire realm, stretching infinitely.
There are also rumors that deep within the Nine Heavens Thunder Pool lies the origin of the Thunder Dao, from which all thunder in the world emanates.
In short, the existence of this Nine Heavens Thunder Pool remains a mystery to this day.
At this moment, Xu Zhou once again set foot here.
"Whoosh!"
Xu Zhou moved like lightning and quickly reached the outermost region of the Nine Heavens Thunder Pool.
"Boom!"
A thunderbolt several meters thick descended from the sky, landing thousands of meters away, stirring up a violent energy storm.
"As expected, my Spiritual Pressure Ring actively absorbs the Thunder Power here."
Xu Zhou observed the ring, showing a smile.
Since it absorbed the thunder power on its own, he didn’t need to worry about it.
He actively absorbed the power of the surrounding storm, quickly shaking his head slightly: "The energy storm at the outermost area can no longer have any tempering effect on me."
Xu Zhou stepped forward, beginning to walk deeper.
Soon, he advanced two thousand meters.
Here, he could initially come into contact with the true thunder.
"Boom!" "Boom!"
Thunderbolts fell like heavenly wrath, striking in front of Xu Zhou, carving out a crack tens of thousands of meters long in the Void.
The terrifying thunder power was like a solar storm, with the central temperature instantly reaching five thousand degrees Celsius.
Fortunately, the Lieutenant General-level armor Xu Zhou wore was enough to resist such a temperature.
"After entering two thousand meters, the thunder power here is at least five times stronger than before."
Xu Zhou thought to himself: "If I were my previous self, I might not have been able to withstand such power."
But now...
Xu Zhou stepped forward again, standing at the center point where the thunder struck, sitting cross-legged.
That’s right, he wanted to actively engage with the thunder!
"Boom!"
A black thunderbolt descended from the sky, like a giant dragon with claws and fangs, roaring as it smashed toward Xu Zhou.
"Come, let me see to what extent you can transform me!"
Xu Zhou looked up at the terrifying Heavenly Tribulation, a madness flickering in his eyes.
...
Just as Xu Zhou was preparing to face the thunder head-on, deep within the Nine Heavens Thunder Pool, the platinum-haired man opened his eyes again.
"It’s him?"
Di Jun’s face showed a hint of surprise: "In just two days, he came back again?"
Even among some of the peerless talents he had seen, after undergoing the tempering of such an extreme environment as the Nine Heavens Thunder Pool, they would need at least half a month, or even a full month, to prepare for a second round of tempering.
Two days? It seemed almost impossible.
Yet it was happening right before his eyes.
Even Di Jun, with all he had seen, was a bit taken aback.
"Oh? This time he chooses to face the thunder directly?"
"Interesting." Di Jun looked toward the outer region, narrowing his eyes slightly: "Let’s see how far this little fellow can go."
...
"Boom!"
The terrifying thunder crashed down on Xu Zhou like a river of stars pouring down.
The incredibly violent energy entered his body through his pores, causing an overwhelming burst of energy within him, as if a thousand steeds were charging through.
Yet under the impact of this terrifying force, his body was rapidly purified.
The Divine Pill within him constantly trembled, beginning to slowly expel impurities.
"Indeed, using thunder for tempering is far more effective than using energy storms."
"Under the tempering of thunder, even deeper impurities within the Divine Pill were expelled, some of which seemed to be impurities not completely removed during the last tempering session."
Xu Zhou felt the changes in his Divine Pill and couldn’t help but feel joyful.
With continuous tempering by the thunder, the operation of the Divine Pill became increasingly smoother.
As a result, his Qi-Blood kept rising, and his strength was further enhanced.
"But directly engaging with these thunderbolts severely damages my body."
Xu Zhou glanced at his body; having just been struck by the thunder, his shoulder instantly split open, exposing the scapula.
Bear in mind, with the current strength of his physical form, even a sixth-grade peak strong person would struggle to injure him.
Yet now, just a single thunderbolt caused such a deep wound.
For an ordinary Sixth Grade, that single thunderbolt would likely have been fatal on the spot.
It’s no wonder others dare not enhance through potions; otherwise, the tempering would be life-threatening!
"Fortunately, I have Immortal Talent, which allows for quick repair."
Xu Zhou looked at his shoulder, seeing the wound healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
As his Avatar continuously grew stronger, both his Immortal Talent and Space Talent were improving in tandem.
Likewise, his Main Body experienced the same.
Currently, his Immortal Talent had nearly reached the level of "Immortality," where as long as his head wasn’t directly severed, he could mostly recover swiftly.
Once he reached the Seventh Grade and cultivated a Divine Soul, even if decapitated, he could still resurrect.
The Divine Soul is immortal, and so is the body!
Of course, other Seventh-Grade strong people do not possess such heaven-defying capabilities. Although the Seventh-Grade Divine Soul Realm has a reputation for being undying, if their heads were really severed, they too would perish.
Only upon reaching the Ninth Grade might one achieve the capabilities Xu Zhou has.
...
Soon, Xu Zhou collected his thoughts and began receiving the thunder’s tempering again.
An hour.
Two hours.
Three hours....
Time flowed by.
In the blink of an eye, another half day had passed.
