Chapter 708: Shaking Luotian, Heaven Defying’s Shocking Change (First Update!)

The black-haired man stroked the Thunder Beast's Big Head beneath him, a strange light flashing in his eyes as he muttered, “I wonder what Magic Treasures and Immortal Arts will appear in the Thunder Immortal Realm this time… I fear there will be another fierce Dragon vs. Tiger struggle among the Thunder Immortal Palace Envoys!”

A shadow crossed the corner of this person's mouth. The Thunder Beast beneath him moved extremely fast, transforming into a flash of lightning and rushing straight into the distance.

“Legend has it that the Shattered Stone Layer in the Southern Luotian Region is where the mysterious Heaven Defying Bead first appeared back then. Because of this bead's appearance, the area underwent a strange transformation of Thunder, turning into a Thunder Purgatory, which has also become a wonderful place to Cultivate Thunder-type Divine Abilities!”

The man's eyes flashed, and his speed increased further.

Wang Lin was inside the Thunder Pool, the Incantation of the Thunder Origin Art revolving word by word in his mind. After carefully understanding it, Wang Lin formed Hand Seals with both hands, placing them on his knees. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

The Thunder Origin Art is a strange method used to extract a trace of the heaven and earth origin energy within the Thunder and integrate it into one's body, making it one's own origin energy.

This type of Divine Ability Cultivation Technique is rare, possessed only by Cultivators who have stepped into the Second Step, and is often regarded as a treasure, never easily passed on.

This Cultivation Technique relies on Thunder entering the body. If one's cultivation is insufficient, it is no different from inviting tribulation to harm the body. A slight mistake could lead to both body and spirit destroyed, and in severe cases, instant annihilation.

But this Cultivation Technique was perfectly suited for Wang Lin at this moment. His Primordial Spirit was Thunder, and his newly condensed Physical Body was also formed by Thunder. Just as the Thunder Beast saw him, Wang Lin's entire body was a streak of Thunder.

A moment later, Wang Lin slowly raised his hands, his expression normal. As he shook his arms while forming Hand Seals, numerous ripples instantly appeared out of thin air around him. These ripples were formed by Thunder Light and slowly spread out.

This shake actually contained nine Hand Seals, executed at an extremely fast speed, achieving the effect of Sealing Thunder. The ripples were a manifestation of this.

Amidst the rumbling sounds, one massive streak of Thunder power from the Thunder Pool was attracted. In an instant, it seemed to find an outlet, immediately surging over, appearing to transform into a Thunder Dragon. With a roar, it swallowed him whole.

However, the moment it touched Wang Lin's Physical Body, it dissipated and rushed into Wang Lin's body.

The Thunder here was extremely strong, far surpassing ordinary Thunder. After entering his body, it immediately roared inside Wang Lin. Wang Lin's mind remained steady, and he formed Hand Seals faster, circulating the Thunder Origin Art. His body was like a giant millstone, constantly rotating, squeezing out heaven and earth origin energy bit by bit from the Thunder that had entered him.

This process lasted for a long time. The Thunder Origin Art stated that the first time circulating this technique is relatively difficult, as the body must simultaneously resist the Thunder Might and absorb origin energy, requiring a certain period of adaptation and coordination.

But Wang Lin didn't need to consider so much. His Physical Body and Primordial Spirit were inherently Thunder. Even if Thunder Power entered his body, the most he would feel was slight discomfort, but he wouldn't be injured.

At this moment, his entire focus was on squeezing out the origin energy, naturally ignoring the discomfort in his body.

After a long time, the streak of Thunder that had entered his body gradually collapsed. Under the circulation of the Thunder Origin Art, it transformed into a trace of impure origin energy. This origin energy was so minuscule that it would be impossible to notice without careful observation.

But Wang Lin felt as if he had obtained a treasure, immensely excited in his heart. One must know that among First Step Cultivators, origin energy is an extremely luxurious power. It is the key to Soul Transformation, and one only has the chance to acquire some during Soul Transformation; it is fundamentally impossible to regenerate it!

Converting origin energy from the heaven and earth—this is the Divine Ability of Second Step Cultivators.

If not for a series of Opportunities and coincidences, Wang Lin absolutely could not have achieved this.

He suppressed the ecstasy and excitement in his heart and carefully circulated this trace of impure origin energy, directing it toward his Primordial Spirit. Once absorbed by the Primordial Spirit, refined and compressed again, and stripped of its impurities, this trace of origin energy might become even smaller, but it could then be used by him.

This was an extremely crucial moment. Wang Lin dared not be careless, putting his entire focus on it, slowly manipulating this somewhat unrefined impure origin energy, and letting it flow gently into his Primordial Spirit.

But right at this moment, a sudden change occurred!

This change caught Wang Lin completely off guard, leaving him no time to maneuver. The trace of impure origin energy, the instant it touched the Primordial Spirit, suddenly became violent, like a wild horse that had broken its reins.

It frantically drilled into the Primordial Spirit, but instead of Fusion, it instantly rushed with lightning speed to the center of Wang Lin's Primordial Spirit's brow, which was precisely where the Heaven Defying Bead was located!

This trace of impure origin energy actually merged into the Heaven Defying Bead in a flash!

A massive rumbling sound, inaudible to the outside world but clearly heard by Wang Lin, echoed wildly within his body, as if he had been violently struck by a huge mountain peak. Wang Lin's face instantly turned pale, his Primordial Spirit shook internally, and his Physical Body trembled incessantly.

The Heaven Defying Bead inside the Primordial Spirit, uncharacteristically, didn't wait for Wang Lin's summons. It automatically materialized from within the Primordial Spirit, following Wang Lin's Physical Body, and floated out from his brow.

Wang Lin stared blankly at the scene before him, his mind greatly shaken.

Heaven Defying appeared again. This time, it floated out of Wang Lin's Physical Body. The moment it appeared, the entire Thunder Pool instantly erupted into Chaos. Countless streaks of Lightning transformed into Thunder Dragons, immediately roaring out of the Thunder Pool.

This caused massive fluctuations, making the surrounding shattered stones be pulled by the Lightning, emitting Thunder Light. The Immortal Guard Puppet immediately retreated, moving far back until it was no longer affected.

Even the Thunder Beast was startled by the changes in the Thunder Pool, instinctively retreating and daring not to approach.

Wang Lin looked at Heaven Defying, which had risen into the air, the confusion in his eyes deepening.

Countless Thunder Dragons in the Thunder Pool roared as they arrived, drilling frantically into Heaven Defying from all directions. This scene was extremely shocking, and Wang Lin watched, virtually mesmerized.

Heaven Defying slowly rotated. With every rotation, a large amount of Lightning was absorbed into it. Gradually, a streak of Purple Light flashed forth from it.

Wang Lin was all too familiar with this scene; the same change had occurred not long ago.

The dazzling Purple Light instantly scattered outwards. That strange Restriction appeared once again! At the same time, in Wang Lin's sight, that massive door reappeared between the heaven and earth!

All of this was too bizarre, leaving Wang Lin utterly shocked.

He did not know that the first time the Heaven Defying Bead appeared in the world was right here! All the strange changes in this place were caused precisely by the appearance of Heaven Defying countless years ago.

At this moment, Wang Lin had unintentionally arrived here, but he had coincidentally brought Heaven Defying to the place of its original appearance. If one speaks of Karma, this could certainly be considered part of it.

However, this was not a baseless coincidence. In reality, after Wang Lin's Primordial Spirit was injured, he followed that comfortable sensation and sought out this place. While the characteristics of the Thunder Dragon were involved, the more significant and hidden factor was Heaven Defying.

The Heaven Defying Bead, uniquely in Wang Lin's possession, had undergone Fusion with his Primordial Spirit and no longer had a fixed form. It could influence Wang Lin's Primordial Spirit, and that comfortable sensation was actually emitted by Heaven Defying!

If it were just this, it would be fine. After all, Heaven Defying's Five Elements were not yet at Perfection then. A Heaven Defying Bead that hadn't truly Recognized its Master, even if it brought Wang Lin here, wouldn't cause any changes.

However, subsequently, the Perfection of the Five Elements caused a change in Heaven Defying. When that massive door appeared between the heaven and earth, it signified the first time Heaven Defying was opened in Wang Lin's hands.

This opening also signified that the bead had Recognized its Master.

Thus, everything progressed naturally. Wang Lin once again absorbed the Heaven Defying Bead into his Primordial Spirit. Heaven Defying, having Recognized its Master, arrived at the place of its original appearance and used the heaven and earth origin energy as the trigger, causing a shocking change!

Lacking any single element of Karma here would absolutely prevent the current change from occurring. Over countless years, only Wang Lin had reached this step with Heaven Defying.

The massive Door of Heaven and Earth reappeared. Amidst the flashing Purple Light, it seemed as if the heaven and earth, everything in this world, and even the surrounding Thunder Pool, all turned purple at this moment. The Lightning also transformed into Purple Lightning!

The appearance of this door immediately caused that feeling of awe from the depths of his Soul to surge through Wang Lin's entire body. Although he had experienced it once before, he still trembled slightly all over, but his eyes flashed with defiance.

Within the pervasive Purple Light, the massive arm outside the Door of Heaven and Earth condensed once again, but this time, it made Wang Lin's heart skip a beat!

Because the moment the arm appeared, it immediately triggered the assault of countless Purple Lightning bolts from the surrounding Thunder Pool. Amidst the rumbling sounds, countless streaks of Thunder wrapped around the massive arm, making it seem as if it were bound!

Wang Lin's gaze was like lightning, staring intently at the arm. After a moment of silence, he gritted his teeth, and his body instantly shot into the air, rushing straight toward the massive door in the sky.

If this arm hadn't been locked down by Thunder Light, even if the door reappeared, Wang Lin would not choose to enter. But at this moment, he had a feeling that if he missed this once-in-a-lifetime Opportunity, he might never again be able to glimpse the mystery within that door!

Although his speed was fast, he left himself room for maneuver. If that massive arm broke free from the Lightning, he would immediately turn around and flee!

Closer and closer, closer and closer!

The arm began to move, but the Thunder Light wrapped around it was like iron chains, instantly restraining it and slowing its movement.

Wang Lin's eyes flashed, and he immediately sped up, transforming into a streak of Thunder Light and flying straight toward the massive door. The moment his body approached, the door opened a crack!

The instant the crack opened, the heaven and earth stopped… Wang Lin's body also paused just outside the crack. His eyes snapped wide open, and his entire consciousness, at this moment, seemed to be captured and drawn into that Door of Heaven and Earth!

Everything he saw caused Wang Lin's body to tremble violently!

He felt as if his Primordial Spirit was Leaving the Body, unable to sense the existence of his Physical Body. His entire being was situated within a boundless Chaos, without beginning or end…

The first update is delivered.
