Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start

The disappearance, and potentially the downfall, of Huo Ming from the Fire Crow Clan and Lei Tian from the Heavenly Thunder Sect caused a massive storm throughout the ancestral land of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty.

Many people knew that this storm would not end there. Once it spread beyond the ancestral land, it would become even more severe, affecting the entire Holy Brilliance Dynasty and even the spiritual realm.

After all, whether it was the Fire Crow Clan or the Heavenly Thunder Sect, both were incredibly powerful. They ranked among the top in all the forces of the hundred domains, not much weaker than the Holy Brilliance Dynasty itself.

Huo Ming and Lei Tian were the most outstanding talents within these two major forces, especially the latter, whose innate talent in The Way of Thunder was exceptionally high. He was a once-in-a-millennium genius within the Heavenly Thunder Sect, highly valued by them.

Now that they had fallen in the ancestral land of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty, they would not rest until the murderer was found.

At the same time, everyone who heard this news, including Mo Chen from the Dragon Sparrow Clan, Lu Xin from the Seven Stars Sect, the Power King from the Mighty Demon Ape Clan, Ye Meng from the Azure Gold Night Demon Clan, and the three princes of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty, were all extremely puzzled.

Who could have killed Huo Ming and Lei Tian?

This was the common question in the hearts of everyone in the ancestral land of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty at the moment.

In their view, the perpetrator had to be either a prince of the Holy Brilliance Dynasty or peers like Mo Chen and Lu Xin.

Beyond that, there was no other possibility.

"I guess it must have been Mo Chen and Lu Xin who acted, wanting to reduce the competition for the Dragon Transformation Pool and thus avoiding exposing their own strength. It has to be this way!" many people thought to themselves.

For Lu Xin and Mo Chen, their hearts were also heavy. They knew Lei Tian's strength, and although they too had comprehended divine skills, to be silently cut down this way meant that the attacker's strength must have been extremely terrifying, a formidable enemy unseen in their generation!

At the same time, this incident also caused these top-notch talents to be more cautious of each other, keeping a vigilant eye on one another.

Even the others feared another sneak attack.

As for Yuan Qian, since King Zhenan was not a supreme powerhouse, he couldn't help him grasp divine skills via direct empowerment. However, fortunately, during the last opening of the ancestral land, King Zhenan had discovered such a place rich in sacred rhythms, which could assist someone in enlightenment.

Thus, after this opening of the ancestral land, Yuan Qian arrived here at the fastest speed, succeeded in mastering divine skills, and intended to settle accounts with Gu Chen.

…

In another part of the ancestral land, inside a cave, Gu Chen, who had been in seclusion for many days, finally emerged.

Boom!

With stones flying and dust filling the air, a figure with a well-built body stepped out, his entire body enveloped in dazzling electric light, occasionally emitting crackling sounds.

It was Gu Chen, who had absorbed the Thunder Tribulation Fluid.

He had been in seclusion for the past few days, thus unaware of the turmoil caused by the deaths of Huo Ming and Lei Tian.

Of course, even if he had known, Gu Chen would not have cared. After all, the deed was done, what more did he have to fear?

"What a pity, I still fell just short of the third reconstruction of my physical body." After emerging from seclusion, the light shining on Gu Chen made his entire body appear as radiant as the morning glow, his whole being coated in a pale golden halo, looking valiant and extraordinary.

The Thunder Tribulation Fluid was indeed a rarity in the world, difficult to refine even by the most powerful, with only the forces of the heavens combined with extraordinary luck making it possible.

However, this marvelous Thunder Tribulation Fluid was not enough to break through Gu Chen's physical body, mainly because his body was too powerful, and also because there simply was not enough of the fluid, which was a bit of a disappointment for Gu Chen.

Yet even so, after absorbing the Thunder Tribulation Fluid, Gu Chen still reaped tremendous benefits.

The vitality of his physical body was significantly enhanced, and deep within his body, every minute particle that composed his physique now twinkled with seemingly invisible electric arcs.

This was why, at this moment, the odd spectacle of dazzling electric light swirling around Gu Chen's body arose—this was an external manifestation of his greatly enhanced physical body.

The most direct manifestation was the explosive power of his physical body, which had significantly increased compared to before.

"Even, the Thunder Tribulation Fluid has also refined and purified the magic power within me." Gu Chen introspected, seeing the robust magic power inside him, which subtly flickered with electric sparks, becoming more fierce and pure.

By now, his magic power was no less than that of a practitioner at the great perfection stage of Huanxu Realm; in fact, it was even more refined by a good margin.

With every move, electric light sparkled, reflecting the void. Gu Chen, with his black hair flowing like a waterfall, stood tall like a majestic Thunder God!

"It would have been great if the quantity of Thunder Strike Liquid had been a bit more," Gu Chen sighed lightly.

However, he also knew to be content. Such a rarity of heaven and earth was hardly seen even in a thousand years; to have obtained even this much was already a fortune.

"Not only that, my comprehension of The Way of Thunder has also increased significantly." As Gu Chen spoke, a wisp of lightning appeared at his fingertip, the power increased considerably compared to before!

"But, to advance from a Sixth-grade Divine Skill to a fifth grade, one needs to be among the Great Powers," Gu Chen's eyes sparkled.

Divine skills were divided into nine grades, but reaching the fifth grade marked a watershed; thereafter, each increment in grade was exponentially more difficult.
