232: Thunder List, Eclipse Demon Lord

"My memory is a bit fragmented, but I'm certain the Nine Revolutions Magic Thunder is here!" Gongsun Sheng said, stepping directly into Falling Thunder Mountain. The memory was transmitted back by a split Divine Soul he once possessed, just before its death, but it was incomplete.

Various thunders exist between heaven and earth, born of nature. Once refined, their power is boundless and can greatly enhance one's combat strength.

For this, an ancient eccentric compiled the 'Compendium of Anomalous Thunders,' which recorded nineteen types of anomalous thunders that had appeared in the world.

The Nine Revolutions Magic Thunder, ranked thirteenth on the Compendium of Anomalous Thunders, has the ability to break most Formations, Restrictions, and Seals in the world.

Medicinal Pills or Spiritual Artifacts and Magic Treasures refined with the Nine Revolutions Magic Thunder will have their power increased to a higher level.

This holds a fatal attraction for powerful Alchemists or Artifact Refiners.

With the treasure before him, Celestial Swift Star could only follow. As the saying goes, wealth is found in danger. Even if there was danger, with his Divine Power Realm's fastest speed, escaping would certainly not be a problem.

Rumble!

Bang, bang, bang!

The heavens and earth continuously exploded.

The two gradually ventured deeper into Falling Thunder Mountain. The closer they got to the core, the stronger the thunder between heaven and earth became. While the outer thunder could only threaten the Golden Core Realm, the inner thunder could already threaten the Divine Power Realm.

The power of the falling thunder had increased by several times, its frequency was higher, and it was even more unpredictable, with no warning signs.

Celestial Swift Star, relying on his extreme speed, dodged one falling thunder after another.

The two finally arrived before a stone gate. The stone gate was dilapidated, covered in moss and withered vines, leading to a winding path that disappeared into the distance, exuding an extremely strong sense of oppression.

"Roar!"

From the end of the stone gate, a beast's roar suddenly echoed, almost shattering Gongsun Sheng's Divine Soul.

"What the hell is this thing?"

Celestial Swift Star hastily placed a spiritual shield on Gongsun Sheng. As a high-ranking member of Earth Fiend Hall, he had seen many demons and monsters, but none had ever made such a sound.

Could it be a demon or monster not yet revealed in the "compendium of demons and monsters"?

After all, there are countless demons and monsters in the world, and even the compendium of demons and monsters cannot record all types of demons and monsters.

"This should be the dwelling place of the Nine Revolutions Magic Thunder. Why is there a beast's roar? Has something changed?" Gongsun Sheng frowned, a bad premonition rising in his heart.

But since he had already come, he naturally wouldn't retreat because of this.

"Let's go!"

"Hmm, you go first, I'll cover your rear!" Celestial Swift Star seemed benevolent, but in reality, he was protecting him by placing him in front, his magical power poised to strike. If anything went wrong, he would immediately unleash his extreme speed and escape.

No matter how good the treasure, it wasn't as important as his life.

And so, the two, one in front and one behind, stepped into the stone gate's underground passage.

In the distance, Chu Jiang was flying. Seeing the continuous thunder falling from Falling Thunder Mountain, he raised an eyebrow. He felt a sense of summons emanating from Falling Thunder Mountain.

He didn't hesitate and flew straight through. Endless rolling heavenly thunder struck down from the dark clouds.

Crack, boom!

All the thunderbolts, without exception, slammed towards Chu Jiang, the intruder, instantly darkening the sky and earth.

But they couldn't harm him in the slightest, as he scattered them all with a casual strike.

Then, his fist shook the mountains and rivers.

The Void Realm trembled.

A heavy punch, nearly four hundred elephants of unmatched Divine Power, directly opened a huge hole in Falling Thunder Mountain, and then he stepped directly into the cave.

He used the most violent method to reach the source of the summons directly.

After all, he didn't have time to look for an entrance; he still had to solo Liusha King later.

At the end of the dilapidated stone gate, Gongsun Sheng looked around and saw a colossal creature standing there.

This was a hundred-meter-tall monster.

Most of its flesh and blood had been ground away, and parts of its bloody red skeleton were exposed, appearing particularly eerie.

The monster's neck was adorned with a gaping maw, filled with sharp teeth, like countless swords.

Its tongue, several meters long, flexed and extended flexibly within its mouth, emitting a nauseating stench.

Its body was also pierced by various iron chains through its flesh and bone marrow, and each chain was affixed with strange Talismanic Incantations.

"Finally, someone has come. I am... Erosion Sun Demon Lord, and I have been waiting for you for a long time!" The monster, calling himself Erosion Sun Demon Lord, let out a roar, as if he hadn't seen a living person in a long time.

Erosion Sun Demon Lord?

Gongsun Sheng was confused. Where was the Nine Revolutions Magic Thunder?

"Humans, I can give you whatever you desire, as long as you help me with a favor, how about it?" The Erosion Sun Demon Lord's skeletal eyes stared intently at the two, making them extremely uneasy.

As he spoke, countless invisible, strange Qi invaded their bodies.

"What benefits can you give me?" Gongsun Sheng decided to first hear what the monster had to say before making a decision.

"You are too weak; you are not qualified. That old man next to you still has some strength," the Erosion Sun Demon Lord said indifferently.

Gongsun Sheng (ー_ー)!!

He continued, "Breakthrough to the Faxiang Realm within three years. How does that condition sound?"

According to Celestial Swift Star's nature, he instinctively wanted to refuse. Because there's no such thing as a free lunch. But at this moment, for some unknown reason, his heart suddenly began to stir, and countless voices urged him to agree, unable to be calmed.

"Alright, tell me!" A hint of crimson flashed in Celestial Swift Star's eyes.

"Above my head, there is a thunder pool Formation. The Nine Revolutions Magic Thunder is there, suppressing me. If you pull out the red Formation Flag of the thunder pool Formation and release the Nine Revolutions Magic Thunder, I will be able to escape."

"It's the Nine Revolutions Magic Thunder! Celestial Swift Star, quickly agree to him!" Gongsun Sheng's eyes were completely bloodshot.

"Good!" The eyes on Celestial Swift Star's body turned even redder. He agreed decisively with hardly any thought, then began to detour towards the thunder pool Formation above Erosion Sun Demon Lord's head.

At this moment, a hint of doubt suddenly flashed across Erosion Sun Demon Lord's face. "Why is there another person?"

Crack, snap.

Boom!

A figure in a flying fish uniform suddenly broke through the wall and appeared in the thunder pool Formation that was sealing the Erosion Sun Demon Lord.

"Is this the source of that summons?" Chu Jiang looked at the thunder pool Formation, which had three major Formation Flags—red, yellow, and green—and in the center, a black thunder Dragon was surging.

"This is... the Nine Revolutions Magic Thunder!" Chu Jiang's face was filled with wild joy. Ever since the System had tricked him into appraising his Lifespan, he had been diligently studying knowledge about various heaven and earth treasures.

Ranked thirteenth on the Compendium of Anomalous Thunders, it can break through most Restrictions and Formations, greatly increasing combat power.

However, one can only refine one such heaven and earth marvel at most. A second one would cause the body to explode.

"Come here!" His Divine Power Domain fully opened, Chu Jiang's combat power rapidly surged several times, his Aura soaring all the way to Faxiang Realm third layer.

The terrifying Aura almost crushed the entire thunder pool Formation.

Boom! With a sweep of Chu Jiang's large hand, the Nine Revolutions Magic Thunder began to fly towards him uncontrollably. No matter how the Nine Revolutions Magic Thunder resisted, it was futile.

"Refine!" The Nine Revolutions Magic Thunder was forcefully absorbed into his body for refinement. The Azure Wood Emperor Skill began to madly circulate, suppressing the Nine Revolutions Magic Thunder.

[Year 1: The host begins to refine the Nine Revolutions Magic Thunder. Due to the lack of a corresponding Cultivation Technique, it can only be suppressed.]

[Year 2: You try other methods, to no avail.]

[Year 7: You find a compatible method, completely gaining control of the Nine Revolutions Magic Thunder, breaking through continuously, and your cultivation level rises to Faxiang Realm third layer.]

...

Chu Jiang opened his eyes, his Aura surging. Faxiang Realm third layer! He hadn't expected that refining the Nine Revolutions Magic Thunder would allow him to break through two Realms consecutively.

As expected of a heaven and earth anomalous thunder ranked thirteenth.

At this moment, the heavens and earth rumbled. The Erosion Sun Demon Lord, freed from the suppression of the Nine Revolutions Magic Thunder, desperately tore off the Talismanic Incantations that sealed him, his body exuding monstrous Devilish Qi.

"Hahaha, I'm finally free! All of you, become my nourishment!" He let out a wild laugh.

[Erosion Sun Demon Lord, a mutated demon or monster. Due to being tainted by an ominous Aura, he mutated. In his prime, he was an Earth-Grade eighth-layer demon or monster. Because of his vigorous vitality, he was sealed here by a mysterious powerful expert. He was being worn down by the sealing Talismanic Incantations of the thunder pool Formation, which had the Nine Revolutions Magic Thunder as its core. He now possesses the strength of an Earth-Grade second-layer.]
