The legend of the Thunder Beast states that it is born from Thunder itself, carrying the essence of the Nine Thunderbolts, also known as the Nine Thunderbolts of Annihilation. During its juvenile phase, it awakens three bolts; in its growth phase, it awakens another three; and in adulthood, it awakens the final three. The Nine Thunderbolts of Annihilation grow stronger as the Thunder Beast matures.
Just like a person's cultivation, it continuously evolves. Ultimately, the Nine Thunderbolts of Annihilation will become the true source of law, where a single thunderbolt commands the submission of countless others, unstoppable across the world. Only when it truly becomes a Thunder Beast will it possess boundless power as a divine beast.
Three Thunder Pearls spun continuously, and the World-Ending Thunder was surprisingly unable to advance. Moreover, as the Thunder Pearls rotated, the World-Ending Thunder was gradually being absorbed. Although this absorption was slight, Ren Pingsheng could sense that the aura of the three Thunder Pearls was constantly changing, almost as if they were transforming.
“Roar…” The Thunder Beast seemed to have noticed this strange situation and immediately let out an angry roar. The black Thunder trembled and attempted to retreat. At that moment, the three Thunder Pearls suddenly vibrated violently and shot out a beam of light that enveloped the World-Ending Thunder. Unfortunately, their power seemed insufficient; they only managed to block one-third of it while the remaining two-thirds flashed and vanished into the body of the Thunder Beast.
“Roar roar…” The Thunder Beast realized that one-third of its Thunder was gone and roared in fury. However, it feared the three Thunder Pearls and did not dare to take further action. Additionally, being in its juvenile phase and having just recklessly used World-Ending Thunder had already left it significantly injured; its aura began to weaken gradually.
Ren Pingsheng watched the Thunder Beast warily, fearing it might become enraged and act again. At that point, he worried that even the three Thunder Pearls might not be able to hold it back. After all, they were fully focused on absorbing what remained of the World-Ending Thunder, which was now only one-third.
“Roar… roar…” After pacing a few circles, the Thunder Beast glanced back at Ren Pingsheng before vanishing back into a black hole and disappearing from sight. Even the original three strange locations had vanished without a trace. It seemed to have sunk into this Thunder Sea, and its exact location would remain unknown.
“Phew… finally saved.” Ren Pingsheng let out a sigh of relief as the cage formed by the Thunder Sea disappeared, leaving only a vast expanse of Thunder Sea once more. Only the three Thunder Pearls continued to spin, absorbing what remained of one-third of the World-Ending Thunder.
“It seems this will take some time to finish; I can only wait patiently. This is a good opportunity to perfect my Ninth Layer of Nine Turns Body Refinement Technique.” He glanced at the three Thunder Pearls and formulated a plan in his mind.
Fearing that he could not withstand too much intense Thunder, he sat down near the Thunder Pearls and released his True Qi shield. Without any barriers, countless bolts of Thunder fell upon him instantly. However, more than half were drawn away by the Thunder Pearls, leaving only a small portion to strike Ren Pingsheng.
“Sizzle…” Ren Pingsheng felt as if his entire body were being pierced by thousands of needles; the pain was unbearable, causing him to shudder involuntarily. His clothes turned to ashes, leaving him bare as he sat in the Thunder Sea. He had long since stored away his Thousand Silk Armor.
As bolts of Thunder continued to fall, Ren Pingsheng trembled incessantly. The Thunders entered his body like small snakes slithering through his meridians and skin. Waves of pain tested his nerves as black impurities oozed from his skin and turned to ash in the thunder.
In what felt like no time at all, two hours passed before Ren Pingsheng opened his eyes and calmly looked further ahead. Thanks to the presence of the Thunder Pearls, most of the power from the Thunders was blocked; initially effective, but now their effect had diminished significantly. Thus, he had no choice but to stop his cultivation.
“Now I should be able to endure the refinement from this boundless Thunder Sea!” he murmured softly before taking a step forward into an area about ten feet away where he would no longer be affected by the influence of the Thunder Pearls.
"Ah..." Little did he know that just after sitting down, Thunder came crashing down wave after wave. The piercing pain made his vision go black, nearly causing him to faint. His body was covered in black, with some areas even torn open. Before the blood could flow out, it was evaporated by the Thunder.
The pain here was more than ten times stronger than before, but fortunately, his character was resilient, further honed by the Nine Turns Body Refinement Technique, and he stubbornly held on without losing consciousness. Soon, he became like a piece of charcoal, his hair standing on end, looking exceptionally bizarre and amusing.
Yet he focused his breath and mind, diligently circulating the power of Thunder within his body to refine it. The Meridian muscles that seemed to have reached their limit began to shatter and reorganize under the tremendous destructive force of Thunder.
Thunder represents destruction but also symbolizes rebirth. It embodies the powers of life and death, making it incredibly mysterious. Its frenzied destructive force is what many pursue.
Ren Pingsheng's Meridian and muscles continuously shattered and fused amidst the ravaging Thunder. They became stronger, more flexible, and broader. In this boundless Thunder Sea, he sat like a stone man, motionless. He had long since become accustomed to the pain and had even begun to feel numb.
He sat like this for three days. At this point, Ren Pingsheng's entire body was covered in black; however, the aura he emitted indicated that he was still largely unharmed.
The three Thunder Pearls had absorbed all of the black World-Ending Thunder. They were now spinning rapidly, radiating mysterious light. In the center of the Thunder Pearl, a strand of mysterious black flickered within the Thunder Sea, making the entire Thunder Sea even more vibrant.
Suddenly, one of the Thunder Pearls flew next to Ren Pingsheng. After circling around a couple of times, it flashed and merged directly into Ren Pingsheng's body.
The previously motionless Ren Pingsheng immediately contorted his face in agony, his opened eyes filled with terror. The insane pain caused him to roll around in the Thunder Sea.
The Thunder Pearl that merged into his body shattered instantly, releasing an overflow of Thunder power. This power carried traces of World-Ending Thunder as it roamed within him.
His already translucent Meridian muscles became a complete mess again, even more exaggerated than before. This time it wasn't large-scale shattering and reorganization but rather a gradual crushing down to every last bit without leaving any part untouched. Then it slowly fused back together.
This pain was indescribable; it left Ren Pingsheng in a state between life and death, unable to even faint because that kind of pain would wake him up again.
Under the simultaneous assault of internal and external Thunder power, his pitch-black Flesh began to shatter extensively. The newly emerged tender Flesh was immediately blurred by the strikes of Thunder against the already damaged Flesh. Thus, both Meridian and Flesh constantly tested his nerves.
He could only scream in agony unconsciously; now he looked utterly miserable and hardly human. However great the pain seemed, it appeared incapable of taking his life. It felt as if he was undergoing a complete refinement from head to toe and inside out once again.
The screams continued intermittently for four days before finally subsiding. By this time, the power of the Thunder Sea within him had nearly been exhausted. However, there remained a tiny Black Annihilation Thunder that continuously roamed within his Meridian. It was precisely because of its presence that his Meridian would be completely shattered and reorganized.
At this moment, the Meridian seemed to be crafted from beautiful jade, without a trace of impurities. It was countless times stronger than before and much wider, with the flowing True Qi rushing through like a great river, unobstructed.
Finally, that tiny World-Ending Thunder actually flowed into the Dantian along the Meridian. It seemed to enjoy this place, wandering around in the lonely darkness of the Dantian for a while. Then it settled near the Six-Colored Cyclone, with both entities coexisting peacefully without interfering with each other.
"Uh..." Ren Pingsheng groaned, feeling the pain throughout his body gradually diminishing. He immediately realized that the refinement from the Thunder was likely coming to an end. He quickly sat up and sensed carefully, only to discover that he had successfully reached the Ninth Layer of the Nine Turns Body Refinement Technique.
His body had been further strengthened, especially after experiencing the World-Ending Thunder; it was now several times stronger than before. At this moment, he suddenly thought that if he were to activate the second stage of Killing Heart now, he would no longer have to worry about his body. This body could fully bear it.
In the Thunder Sea, countless Thunders continued to fall, but unfortunately, the intensity of the refinement had weakened. The sensation on his body felt tingly and numb, and the previous pain had diminished to its lowest point. Even if he walked in the Thunder Sea for an extended period now, it would be fine.
"World-Ending Thunder?" Ren Pingsheng observed with his consciousness, gazing at that tiny black Thunder in his Dantian, murmuring to himself. He quietly approached with his consciousness, wanting to sense it closely; however, as soon as his spiritual awareness trembled, he found himself in a vast Thunder Sea.
The Thunder Sea was even more magnificent, filled with countless Thunders. The outer layer was white, while various colors filled the inner layers. In the distant center, a flash of black could even be seen.
"This is... the Realm of Thunder's Essence; this is where World-Ending Thunder brought me." Ren Pingsheng was startled and then took a closer look, exclaiming in surprise. He gazed at the distant Azure Lightning, blue Thunder, red Thunder, and even golden Thunder, feeling a surge of excitement.
He didn't waste any time and immediately closed his eyes to comprehend. Since there was an opportunity to grasp Artistic Conception, he naturally wouldn't let it slip away. In fact, he had originally intended to understand Thunder's Realm. After being refined in the Thunder Sea for so long, he had gained considerable insight into Thunder. Now that there was such a shortcut available, it was even better; it could save him a lot of time.
The entire Thunder Sea roared continuously while Ren Pingsheng sat quietly alone in this place, surrounded by no one. The vanished Thunder Beast had not reappeared either. The martial artists who entered the Thunder God Temple together were all rushing toward the central area of the Thunder God Temple.
Time flew by quickly; in the blink of an eye, twenty days had passed. Those King-Level Experts had already broken through the Thunder Sea and rushed to the Inheritance Tower for their trials. Some powerful Zong-level Martial Artists had also emerged. It seemed that once they exited the Thunder Sea, there were no further trials and they could fly without any concerns. Perhaps the only worry left was ambushes from other martial artists.
