137: Chapter 137 You can't be killed? Then I'll slice you into sashimi!

Roar... Pain... It hurts so much...

The Thunder Demon, sent flying by the Palm Thunder, did not collapse as Su Yang had expected.

It staggered back a few steps and looked down at the large, smoking hole in its chest; not only was there no fear in its eyes, but a hint of eerie excitement appeared instead.

It's been so long... since I felt pain...

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle—!

The muscle fibers around its chest suddenly began to wriggle frantically as if alive, with countless blood-red tentacles intertwining and pulling at each other.

Not even three seconds had passed.

That terrifying wound, which would have been fatal to an ordinary Golden Core Cultivator, actually healed at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Even that layer of black bone armor grew back, becoming even thicker than before, and the lightning runes flowing across it were even more dazzling.

Oh?

Su Yang raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.

That's it?

It seems that not only is your skin thick, but you can also self-repair, you big lizard.

I am immortal!

The Thunder Demon straightened its body, and its massive, ten-meter-tall frame cast a huge shadow that completely enveloped Su Yang.

As long as this blood pool exists, and as long as this sky full of lightning exists, I possess endless energy!

You cannot kill me!

On the contrary, you...

A glimmer of cunning flashed in the Thunder Demon's ghost-fire eyes.

You must have consumed quite a bit of spiritual energy with that last attack, right?

In my Domain, every bit of spiritual energy you use is gone forever, whereas I... am infinite!

Boom!

The Thunder Demon no longer gave Su Yang a chance to catch his breath.

It slammed its hands into the ground beneath its feet and roared at the sky.

Blood Thunder Purgatory!

Crackle, crackle!

The ground of the entire cavern instantly shattered, and countless blood-red lightning pillars erupted from underground, forming a massive lightning cage that trapped Su Yang tightly in the center.

These lightning pillars not only carried high heat but also emitted a dense, malevolent blood poison gas.

Even a slight touch would cause one's Physical Body to rot and one's Soul to be tainted.

Boss!

On a high platform in the distance, Reba saw this scene, and her heart nearly jumped out of her chest.

Don't worry, Boss is fine.

Although Mary said this, her eyes became grave.

This is an Immortal Demon Body combined with an infinite mana bar... Although this monster isn't very intelligent, it is truly a troublesome tank.

If it were an ordinary Cultivator, even one at the Early Stage of the Nascent Soul, they would be worn to death if trapped in such a war of attrition.

But unfortunately... it met the Boss.

Inside the lightning cage.

Su Yang looked at the blood lightning raging all around him; not only was he not flustered, but he instead reached out and rubbed his chin.

Infinite energy? Immortal body?

Tsk tsk, you're bragging so much that I'm blushing for you.

In this world, where is there any true immortality?

It's nothing more than your health regeneration speed being faster than my damage output speed.

Su Yang slowly raised his right hand and gripped the hilt of the sword behind his back.

Since I can't kill you in one blow, then... I'll slice you into a thousand, ten thousand pieces.

Let's see how you put yourself back together!

Clang—!

The seven star dragon abyss sword was unsheathed once more.

This time, the blade was not covered in ordinary cold light, but was ignited with a layer of golden flames.

That was the Pure Yang True Fire!

It specifically counters all evil and filth!

Sword Qi spans thirty thousand miles, one sword's cold light illuminates the nineteen continents.

Su Yang chanted softly, and his figure suddenly became blurred.

Swoosh!

A golden streak of sword light, like a swimming Dragon, wove through the dense lightning cage.

Those seemingly terrifying blood lightning pillars, the moment they touched this sword light, were like piled snow meeting a red-hot branding iron, instantly dissolving.

What?!

The Thunder Demon was shocked, instinctively trying to raise its hand to block.

But its movements were too slow.

Or rather, Su Yang's sword was too fast.

Splat!

The first sword strike severed its right arm.

The massive arm, along with that terrifying sharp claw, flew straight off, and the golden flames burned at the severed end, preventing the flesh from regenerating.

Ah!!! The Thunder Demon screamed.

Splat! Splat! Splat!

Following that were the second, third, and hundredth sword strikes...

Su Yang's figure turned into countless afterimages in the air, frantically slicing around the Thunder Demon's massive body.

Every sword strike that landed took away a large chunk of flesh.

In just a few seconds.

The Thunder Demon, which had been majestic just a moment ago, was now like a bluefin tuna sent to the fresh processing table.

Left leg, right leg, the bone spurs on its back, the bull horns on its head...

All were dismantled!

Rumble!

Finally, following a kick from Su Yang.

The Thunder Demon's broken body, now left with only its torso and head, slammed heavily onto the ground, splashing up clouds of dust.

Hoo—

Su Yang landed gracefully, the seven star dragon abyss sword in his hand still dripping with dark red demonic blood.

How about it?

Su Yang looked at the ball of flesh on the ground that was still struggling to squirm and grow back its limbs, only to be shrieked in pain as the golden fire on its wounds burned it.

This healing speed doesn't seem to be keeping up.

You said earlier that you have infinite energy?

Come on, perform for me again?

Roar... You... You...

The Thunder Demon was completely stunned by this point.

Its Immortal Demon Body, which it took such pride in, was completely useless in front of that sword!

That golden flame was not only burning its Physical Body but was also burning its demonic Soul!

Fear!

This was the first time since its birth that it had felt the fear of death!

Spare... Spare my life...

The Thunder Demon's skull head tried its best to make a pleading expression.

I am willing to surrender! I am willing to be your mount! Your guard dog!

Just don't kill me! I know the secret of these Kunlun Mountains! I know where the true Thunder Pool is!

It didn't want to die.

It had only just revived, and it still wanted to go to the outside world to eat at a buffet!

The true Thunder Pool?

Su Yang paused, the tip of his sword pointing at the center of its brow.

You mean this isn't the core of the Thunder Pool?

No! Absolutely not!

The Thunder Demon hurriedly explained, afraid that it would be headshot if it was a second too slow.

This is just the outer flood discharge outlet! The true ancient Thunder Pool is in... in the deepest part of Death Valley! There is a 'Thunder God Palace' there!

I... I am just the gatekeeper beast that escaped from there...

Oh... so you're a deserter.

Su Yang suddenly realized, then showed a look of disgust.

I thought you were some big boss, but it turns out you're just a gatekeeper.

Then there's no use keeping you.

And...

Su Yang glanced at Little White Strip on his wrist, who was drooling with greed, and then at Chu Ling in the distance, who was a bit scared but whose eyes revealed a sense of longing.

Your demonic core is good stuff.

It's perfect for leveling up these few of mine.

No! You can't kill me! I am...

Splat!

Su Yang didn't listen to its nonsense at all; he stabbed his sword into the center of its brow and flicked his wrist.

A fist-sized crystal core, shimmering with purple-gold lightning, was flicked out.

The Thunder Demon's ghost-fire eyes, which had still been burning, instantly extinguished.

The massive body also quickly shriveled up, finally turning into a pile of black ash.

Ding! Congratulations to the Host for killing [Blood Thunder Demon (Incomplete Body)], gaining 2000 points!

Ding! Obtained rare Materials: [Thunder Demon Core] (Contains massive lightning essence, can be used for Artifact Refining or improving the Aptitude of lightning-type pets).

Ding! Obtained skill book: [Blood Thunder Escape] (Consumes essence blood, instantly teleports one thousand meters, a god-tier escape skill).

Su Yang caught the demonic core, felt the violent energy inside, and nodded with satisfaction.

Although you were just a gatekeeper, your net worth is quite substantial.

He casually tossed the demonic core to Chu Ling, who was watching expectantly nearby.

Take it.

Although this thing has violent attributes, combined with my Formation, it's enough to help you temper your golden body and get rid of your final zombie weakness.

Thank you for the reward, Master!

Chu Ling took the demonic core and knelt on the ground in excitement.

This was the essence of a half-step Nascent Soul level being!

Alright, stop kneeling.

Su Yang put away his sword and looked toward the deeper, darker passage in the depths of the cavern.

From there, waves of heart-palpitating pressure could be faintly felt.

Since the guide is gone, we'll just go ourselves.

Let's go and see what kind of treasures are hidden in that so-called Thunder God Palace.
