Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start

Lei Tian, clad in a purple robe with an expression of cold arrogance, his brows and eyes full of sternness—this was a man of extreme dominance and conceit.

Everything he coveted was his, and he absolutely wouldn't allow anyone to lay a finger on it!

Had he not been the most outstanding successor of his generation in the Heavenly Thunder Sect, with exceptional talent in the Way of Thunder, he wouldn't have been allowed to live until now.

Moreover, his real name wasn't Lei Tian; he bestowed upon himself this name after joining the Heavenly Thunder Sect and achieving significant progress in cultivating the Way of Thunder.

The name Lei Tian, meaning Son of Thunder, was intended to highlight his supreme talent and cultivation in the way of thunder.

At the same time, Lei Tian also believed he was a scion sent by the heavens to earth, wielding the power of heavenly tribulation and enacting divine punishment, destined to rule the world one day.

One could say his thoughts were somewhat distorted, even to a pathological degree.

The Heavenly Thunder Sect was quite helpless about it and could barely rectify his beliefs. Perhaps it was precisely because of his notions that his cultivation in the Way of Thunder progressed by leaps and bounds, making him a once-in-a-millennium genius of the sect.

Not long ago, with the help of various treasures and the guidance of a supreme master emerging from seclusion, he successfully comprehended a divine ability!

This further proved to everyone in the Heavenly Thunder Sect Lei Tian's innate talent in this field!

You should know that for others with talent similar to Lei Tian to comprehend a divine ability, not only does it require the backing of powerful forces to provide treasures containing fragments of laws, but also the personal impartation of the supreme masters is necessary.

But not for Lei Tian; with guidance from the supreme master, he successfully grasped the basics of a divine ability, which goes to show how high his talent in the Way of Thunder really is.

And this made Lei Tian all the more prideful, further solidifying his unshakeable belief in his own identity.

"The Son of Heaven?" However, Gu Chen, meeting Lei Tian for the first time, wasn't aware of his character. Upon hearing this, he was momentarily stupefied.

In his past life's terms, the Lei Tian before him was rather too "chuunibyou."

"Late-stage delusions," Gu Chen shook his head.

"Imperceptive fool!"

Seeing this, Lei Tian's face darkened immediately, and the thunderlight radiating from his body became more resplendent, signifying his readiness to strike!

For cultivators of the Way of Thunder, Thunder Tribulation Fluid was a divine substance rarely found in the world, possessing an indescribable allure that no one could resist.

For Lei Tian, it was even more so; not only did he consider it a reward from the heavens for himself as a chosen offspring, but more importantly, with those Thunder Tribulation Fluid, he was confident that he could officially master the divine ability he had comprehended, and even possibly make further progress, breaking through to the ninth rank!

That was precisely why he would never give up the Thunder Tribulation Fluid!

Boom!

Enshrouded in dense thunderlight, Lei Tian stopped talking. At this moment, supremely powerful, he chose to make a move, intending to obliterate Gu Chen with a single strike.

"Thunder Judgment!"

Lei Tian's voice, detached and merciless, echoed as he slowly ascended into the sky, his hands pressing down. With a loud shout, a blinding bolt of thunder descended from above, cleaving directly towards Gu Chen.

Crackle and pop!

The power of the Way of Thunder, dominating the world with its offensive and destructive force, was now harnessed by Lei Tian using the Heavenly Thunder Sect's cultivation methods. He conjured a thunderbolt aimed at Gu Chen, who did not dodge or avoid, letting the electric light rampage over his body without restraint.

"You're finished!"

Witnessing this scene, Lei Tian sneered, outright declaring Gu Chen's fate as if he were the infernal judge himself.

"A petty trick? And you dare call yourself the Son of Heaven?" At that moment, Gu Chen's indifferent voice came through. He was bathed in lightning; the power of the thunderbolt could not harm him in the least—not even enough to damage his clothes.

"What?!"

Seeing this, Lei Tian's eyes widened in shock, involuntarily exclaiming, "How is this possible?!"

"There's nothing impossible about it. Your cultivation in the Way of Thunder is simply too weak," Gu Chen's words rang out, merciless, as if to further humiliate Lei Tian. He too mobilized the force of thunder.

Crack!

At this moment, a flicker of electrical light shone at Gu Chen's fingertips. Yes, that was all there was—a single flicker.

"Are you trying to make a fool of me?!"

On seeing this, Lei Tian immediately became enraged, feeling that Gu Chen was mocking him. A single flicker of electricity—he could shatter it with a wave of his hand.

Even a breath would have been enough.

"Make a fool of you? You're not worthy!"

Gu Chen's words were cold as he flicked his finger, and that thread of electrical light shot out towards Lei Tian in the air.

"Hmph!"

Lei Tian heard this and, unflinchingly, decided to prove everything with his strength instead of dodging.

"Ah..."

But the next moment, as the string of electrical light made contact, Lei Tian's complexion changed instantaneously, his body scorched black, smoke billowing from his mouth, and he emitted waves of agonized screams, sounding utterly pitiful.

"Ridiculous!" Seeing this, Gu Chen laughed immediately, finding Lei Tian somewhat comical.

"You… You know the Way of Thunder?!" Lei Tian looked disbelief at Gu Chen. He truly couldn't imagine how a mere filament of electricity the size of a fingertip could possess such devastating power?

"I know a little," Gu Chen replied modestly. In contrast to Lei Tian's grandiose declarations and their respective abilities in the Way of Thunder, Lei Tian felt as if he had been slapped across the face in front of a crowd.

He couldn't accept such an outcome.

"I am the supreme in the Way of Thunder, and your tricks are insignificant. Do you dare show off in front of the Son of Thunder?!" Lei Tian bellowed in fury, his hands clenched tightly before violently tearing through the air in front of him, and with flying hair and thunderous roar, he shouted, "With thunderbolt, shatter the darkness!"
