Chapter 160: Thunder Emperor’s Legacy, Second Level of the Saint Realm

"To actually be able to absorb the power of the Thunder Pool, how interesting."

The voice carried a hint of admiration, "Kid, this Emperor is a wisp of a remnant Soul condensed from the Souls of several Thunder Emperors. Are you willing to accept the Thunder Emperor's Legacy?"

"Thunder Emperor's Legacy?"

Zhou Chen was ecstatic in his heart; he hadn't expected such an unexpected harvest.

"However, this Emperor's Legacy is not so easy to obtain."

The Thunder Emperor's remnant Soul snorted coldly, "You must withstand a full-strength strike from the Thunder Pool without dying. Do you dare?"

"Why wouldn't I dare?"

Zhou Chen agreed without a second thought.

Are you kidding? This was the Thunder Emperor's Legacy; it would be foolish not to take it.

With the Nine Revolutions Dragon Elephant Skill and the Azure Lotus Dao Body to back him up, Zhou Chen had no fear at all.

"Good! Such courage!"

The remnant Soul laughed loudly, "Then accept this Emperor's trial!"

Boom!

The entire Thunder Pool instantly erupted into a riot, with countless streaks of purple lightning converging toward Zhou Chen.

This time, the lightning was more than a thousand times stronger than before.

Even Lei Ming, who was nearby, felt the threat of death and hurriedly retreated several hundred meters.

"Is this a Thunder Pool riot? This guy is dead for sure!"

A trace of lament flashed across his face, "His talent was decent. What a pity!"

But in the next moment, his expression froze.

At the center of the Thunder Pool, Zhou Chen not only didn't scream in pain but instead let out a groan of comfort.

"Refreshing!"

Feeling the power constantly surging within his body, Zhou Chen couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Under such intense stimulation, the Nine Revolutions Dragon Elephant Skill actually began to charge toward the fifth level.

Boom!

A phantom image of a Dragon Elephant burst out from his body, merging with the previous four phantom images.

Five Dragon Elephant phantoms!

The fifth level of the Nine Revolutions Dragon Elephant Skill!

Not only that, Zhou Chen also found that his understanding of the Thunder Concept had deepened.

A seed of the Thunder Concept even began to condense within his body.

"Not bad."

The remnant Soul nodded with satisfaction, "You are qualified to inherit this Emperor's Legacy."

As the words fell, a beam of purple light sank into Zhou Chen's forehead.

Countless pieces of information instantly flooded into his mind.

"Purple Cloud Thunder Emperor Scripture"!

This was the Cultivation Technique of the Thunder Emperor's remnant Soul, and its grade had reached High Grade Imperial Rank!

Not only that, there were also accompanying lightning-based combat techniques and a deep understanding of the Cultivation Technique.

"Thank you, Senior!"

Zhou Chen bowed respectfully; this Opportunity was truly massive.

"No need to thank this Emperor."

The Thunder Emperor's voice grew gradually weaker, "Remember, the name of the Thunder Emperor must not be disgraced. Since you have accepted this Emperor's Legacy, you must have the strength worthy of this name."

After speaking, the Thunder Emperor's will completely dissipated.

By this time, the energy in the Thunder Pool had been mostly absorbed by Zhou Chen.

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for successfully intercepting the Child of Destiny Lei Ming's Opportunity: Thunder Pool Body Refining, triggering Ten-Thousand-Fold Return!]

[Congratulations to the Host for obtaining three drops of Medium Grade Imperial Rank Thunder Liquid!]

"Medium Grade Imperial Rank?"

Zhou Chen's eyes lit up. This was good stuff. Thunder Liquid was condensed from the purest lightning essence in the world. A single drop could significantly enhance the Physical Body of a Saint Realm Cultivator.

Each drop of Thunder Liquid was equivalent to one session of Thunder Pool Body Refining. Although it wasn't as fast as Zhou Chen directly absorbing the Thunder Pool, it was gentle and long-lasting, without much danger.

He swallowed a drop of Thunder Liquid without hesitation.

Boom!

A terrifying lightning force exploded within his body.

But this time, it wasn't destroying; it was reshaping.

Every cell in Zhou Chen's body became more perfect under the tempering of the lightning.

His Physical Body strength increased once again!

More importantly, under the stimulation of the Thunder Liquid, his cultivation also began to loosen.

Boom!

Second level of the Saint Realm!

"I've broken through."

Zhou Chen slowly opened his eyes, his aura several times stronger than before.

"You… you are… which Senior?"

Lei Ming asked in a trembling voice, completely shocked by the scene before him.

Such a terrifying Thunder Pool had actually been entirely absorbed by someone?

And the other party had even achieved a Breakthrough in their Realm because of it?

Lei Ming couldn't help but suspect if Zhou Chen was some old monster in disguise.

"Not a Senior, but a Fellow Daoist."

Zhou Chen smiled and took out a drop of Thunder Liquid, handing it to Lei Ming.

"The Thunder Pool is gone. Take this as compensation."

As he spoke, he casually tossed a drop of Thunder Liquid, which was radiating lightning, to Lei Ming.

Lei Ming had helped him out in the City of the Four Seas and Eight Desolations, and combined with his kind warning before Zhou Chen absorbed the Thunder Pool, as well as not taking advantage of him during the absorption, various details showed that Lei Ming's character was quite good. Zhou Chen didn't mind giving him a hand.

Lei Ming caught the Thunder Liquid and instantly felt the terrifying energy contained within it.

It seemed that the value of this single drop of Thunder Liquid was no less than a session of Thunder Pool Body Tempering!

"This… what is this?"

"Thunder Liquid. It's much safer than Thunder Pool Body Tempering, and the effect is quite good."

"This… this is too precious."

Lei Ming was so excited that his hands were trembling.

"Don't mention it. You seem like a good person, so just take it."

Zhou Chen waved his hand, "Alright, I'm leaving."

"Wait!"

Lei Ming suddenly called out to him, "May I ask Your Excellency's honorable name?"

"Zhou Chen."

"Zhou Chen… I'll remember it."

Lei Ming gave him a deep look, "If there is an Opportunity in the future, Lei Ming will surely repay today's kindness."

Zhou Chen waved his hand, his figure flashing as he disappeared into the sea of thunder.

Leaving Lei Ming alone in a daze.

"Zhou Chen… just who is he?"

…

After leaving Thunder Emperor Peak, Zhou Chen headed straight for his next target—the Ice Emperor Abyss.

According to the opportunity panel, Han Li was currently there, preparing to find the Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Lotus.

"Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Lotus, that's indeed a good thing."

A smile curled on Zhou Chen's lips. This item was practically a priceless treasure for Cultivators who Cultivated ice-based Cultivation Techniques.

But after the Ten-Thousand-Fold Return, he wondered what he would get.

The Ice Emperor Abyss was located in the Northern Region of the Starry Sky Emperor Road, where it was covered in snow and ice all year round, and the temperature was terrifyingly low.

Even a Saint Realm Cultivator couldn't last long without proper protective measures.

But to Zhou Chen, this bit of cold was nothing at all.

The Samadhi True Fire in his body could easily resist the severe cold.

Soon, he reached the entrance of the Ice Emperor Abyss.

It was a massive ice cave, bottomless and emitting a heart-palpitating chill.

"Han Li should have already entered."

Zhou Chen's Divine Thought swept out, and sure enough, he sensed a familiar aura at the entrance.

The structure of the Ice Emperor Abyss was extremely complex, filled with ice walls and pillars.

However, according to Han Li's opportunity panel, Zhou Chen wouldn't get lost. His figure flashed, and he charged directly into the depths of the ice cave.

At the very depths, there was a massive ice cavern.

Soon, Zhou Chen found the location of the Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Lotus.

In the center of the cave grew a crystal-clear lotus, which was precisely the Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Lotus.

This was a lotus completely condensed from ice, emitting an extreme chill.

An ordinary Saint Realm Cultivator would be frostbitten just by approaching without protection.

"That's it!"

Zhou Chen walked directly toward the Ice Lotus, the Samadhi True Fire circulating in his body to negate all the chill.

He easily plucked the Ice Lotus.

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for successfully intercepting the Child of Destiny Han Li's Opportunity: Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Lotus. Triggering Ten-Thousand-Fold Return!]

[Congratulations to the Host for obtaining one Low Grade Imperial Rank Imperial Cold Bead!]

"Imperial Cold Bead?"

Zhou Chen nodded with satisfaction. Although he couldn't use it, it was a supreme treasure specifically for increasing the cultivation speed of Cultivators with an ice Physique, and its effect was quite good.
