318: Divine Thunder Soul Refining! This reward is worth it!

The starship stopped at a location extremely far from that terrifying Star Domain.

Further ahead was the "Chaos Thunder Hell."

Through the massive porthole of the bridge, Lin Fan quietly gazed at the cosmic wonder in the distance.

There were no stars, no planets, only a vast and boundless expanse, like a giant wound that seemed to tear the Universe itself apart.

Countless black-purple lightning bolts, like furious Dragons, rolled, intertwined, and collided within that Void Realm, forming a web of death that spanned unknown light-years.

There was no sound.

In the absolute vacuum, this world-ending thunderstorm was actually proceeding with an eerie silence.

But every flash and flicker of the lightning seemed capable of directly shaking the Divine Soul, making one's Soul tremble.

This was the Chaos Divine Lightning.

The manifestation of rules and energy from the beginning of the Universe's creation.

Lin Fan took a deep breath, suppressing the trace of fear rooted in biological instinct, replaced instead by a morbid excitement.

From its appearance, this was clearly a high-quality dungeon.

He turned the starship's stealth System to its maximum and then skillfully set up a Resurrection Anchor inside the bridge.

Having finished this, he checked the warm jade bottle and the cold Sword Talisman in his breast pocket.

Everything was ready.

Alone, he walked toward the airlock; the hatch opened slowly to the cold, silent Universe.

Without the slightest hesitation, he stepped out.

Lin Fan's figure, like an insignificant speck of dust, flew straight toward that sea of lightning capable of swallowing stars... The closer he got, the more terrifying the pressure that could destroy all things became.

Lin Fan felt his Divine Soul let out a scream of being overwhelmed.

Finally, he reached the periphery of the thunder hell.

Just a single thread of purple arc, thin as a hair, escaping from the sea of lightning, lightly brushed across his body.

Sizzle!

The top-tier Protective Robe he wore, capable of withstanding a full-strength strike from a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, couldn't even last for an instant and was directly reduced to ashes!

Next was his incredibly resilient Physical Body.

Skin, muscle, and bone were as fragile as paper before the Chaos Divine Lightning, instantly becoming charred, carbonized, and disintegrated!

Intense pain flooded his senses like a tide.

But Lin Fan's will was clearer than ever at this moment.

Not enough!

This level of death is too ordinary; the rewards definitely won't be very high!

Enduring the pain of his Physical Body's collapse and braving the terrifying pressure, he continued to charge into the depths of the thunder hell.

Just then, an unexpected turn of events occurred.

He suddenly felt that the power of the Chaos Divine Lightning invading his body, while annihilating his life force, actually split off a strand—as if it had its own will—and traced back toward the direction he came from along some mysterious connection of Karma!

Its target was the Resurrection Anchor on the starship!

Lin Fan's heart sank abruptly.

This Chaos Divine Lightning could not only destroy the Physical Body but could even trace Karma, attempting to erase his existence from its very source!

Once the Resurrection Anchor was eroded and destroyed by this power, he would truly die here this time!

This had already exceeded the scope of "seeking death for rewards" and had become a true life-and-death crisis!

[Warning! The Resurrection Anchor is being eroded by unknown rules; stability is dropping rapidly!]

The System's cold red warning flashed frantically in his vision.

No more hesitating!

Lin Fan's thoughts raced as he instantly brought up the System interface.

[Command: Correct the probability of the 'Resurrection Anchor being perceived by the lightning Law.']

[Performing interference assessment... The target is a high-tier creation-level Law; interference difficulty is extremely high...]

[Estimated consumption of 'reality interference points': 10,000 points.]

Ten thousand points!

Lin Fan's heart was bleeding.

This was the fortune he had worked so hard to accumulate!

But at this moment, he didn't hesitate for a second.

"Execute!"

As his thought fell, the long string of numbers in his vision instantly dropped by a large chunk.

At the same time, the power of the lightning Law that was tracing Karma toward the Resurrection Anchor seemed to suddenly lose its target; it circled aimlessly in the Void Realm for a moment and then dissipated without a trace.

[Resurrection Anchor stability restored to 100%.]

Crisis averted.

Lin Fan let out a long sigh of relief.

No more worries.

Now then... it's time to enjoy death!

He no longer mounted any defense, letting the violent lightning turn half of his body into charcoal.

With difficulty, he raised his remaining left hand and took out the warm jade-carved Soul-gathering Bottle from his breast pocket.

"Ling'er, watch closely."

He whispered, and with a surge of Divine Thought, he activated the runes on the jade bottle.

Buzz!

A layer of soft halo enveloped his broken body.

Next, using the last of his Divine Soul power, he activated another "ultimate weapon" in his possession—the Sword Talisman left behind by Li Hanyue!

"Hanyue, it's time for you to send me on my way!"

Whoosh!

That simple Sword Talisman instantly erupted with world-shaking, sharp Sword Qi!

But this Sword Qi didn't slash at the lightning; instead, it transformed into an irresistible, overwhelming force that wrapped around Lin Fan's body. Like an arrow from a bow or a projectile from a catapult, it shot with absolute precision and determination... straight into the very core of the thunder hell!

The lightning there was no longer black-purple but a mass of Chaos, with a single bolt thicker than a star!

"This service..."

In the final instant before being swallowed by that Chaos, only one last thought remained in Lin Fan's mind.

"...is just too considerate!"

Boom—!!!

The world fell into complete darkness and silence.

Just a moment before his consciousness was completely annihilated, he vaguely felt that in the deepest depths of the Chaos Thunder Hell, there seemed to be a pair of indescribable, infinitely massive eyes that opened indifferently and cast a glance... toward him... [You have been completely annihilated by the 'Chaos Divine Lightning'; your Divine Soul Origin has been exquisitely tempered amidst destruction and creation...]

[Death Rating: S+!]

[Congratulations! You have obtained the reward: Special Physique 'Body of Ten Thousand Thunders' (Passive)!]

[Congratulations! You have obtained the reward: Special Item 'Chaos Thunder Seed' x1!]

Inside the starship's bridge, a flash of light appeared.

Lin Fan's figure re-materialized at the Resurrection Anchor.

He looked down at his intact body; his skin was as smooth as new, and not even a single hair was missing.

But he could clearly feel that his body had undergone a fundamental change.

He reached out, and strands of tiny electric arcs jumped playfully in his palm.

He could even clearly sense the "breath" and "pulse" of every lightning bolt in the distant Chaos Thunder Hell.

That feeling was no longer one of fear and repulsion, but a kind of... closeness, as if they shared the same Bloodline.

This was the "Body of Ten Thousand Thunders"!

From now on, any lightning-based attacks would have their damage significantly reduced, and could even be absorbed by him for his own use.

A satisfied smile appeared on Lin Fan's face.

Not a loss! Those ten thousand points were well spent!

His gaze fell upon his hand.

There, a seed the size of a pigeon's egg quietly hovered; it was Chaos-colored throughout, as if billions of thunders were being born and extinguished within it.

[Chaos Thunder Seed: An Origin seed condensed from the core of the Chaos Divine Lightning at the beginning of the Universe's creation.]

[Usage 1: Implant into a Magic Treasure to temper it into a lightning-attribute supreme treasure.]

[Usage 2: Implant into a spiritual field; there is a very small probability of birthing an Innate lightning-attribute Spiritual Root or thunder beast.]

[Usage 3: ...]
