Infusing True Qi into the Void Emperor's royal decree, the decree slowly floated up, flew out more than ten meters, and stopped at the center of the Wind Thunder Cultivation Room.

Fzz fzz fzz fzz!

From the Void Emperor's royal decree, a wave of extremely formidable nameless fluctuations suddenly released. The energy within the Wind Thunder Cultivation Room seemed to be invisibly drawn, violently boiling as thunder surged from the array formation in all directions, transforming into fierce, bowl-sized thunder snakes that charged toward the decree.

The thunder snakes crashed onto the Void Emperor's royal decree, emitting deafening explosive sounds. Yet, under such bombardment, the decree remained unmoved, as steady as Mount Tai, not even trembling. Instead, the terrifying thunder force was completely absorbed by the decree, with as much coming in as it swallowed entirely.

Seeing this, Ling Chen's eyes revealed a hint of astonishment. The Void Emperor's royal decree itself isn't a Heavenly Material or Earthly Treasure, so what's the use of absorbing so much thunder power? Surely it's somewhat unusual.

As expected, just when this thought arose in his mind, the Void Emperor's royal decree suddenly trembled. Next, a terrifying surge swept across, and the violent thunder crazily gushed out from the decree, instantly enveloping the cultivation room, creating a Thunder Ocean, Thunder World, as though forming a separate space.

"Quite an impressive move…"

Ling Chen gazed at the surrounding Thunder Ocean, which was several times more formidable than the Wind Thunder Cultivation Room. Of course, the Void Emperor's royal decree leveraged the room's energy to create such a terrifying thunder space.

Activating True Qi, a layer of azure Protective True Qi emerged on Ling Chen's body. Now, these thunder forces, reinforced by the Void Emperor's royal decree, had greatly increased in power. If he still underestimated them like before, he might suffer considerable losses.

Boom!

Above the Thunder Ocean, a glaring thunderbolt tore through the sky like an angry dragon, then smashed onto the ocean, instantly creating towering waves.

The giant waves, formed by thunder pulp, surged and crashed onto a thin figure wrapped in azure light on the sea's surface.

Bang! 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

A muted sound rang out, as the figure was driven back dozens of meters, the violent thunder pulp slowly flowing down its body, continuously crackling.

Hiss!

Ling Chen felt his body threatened to disassemble; his facial features contorted slightly, appearing quite painful.

Ling Chen sensed his body could explode anytime, turning to ashes.

Besides, his internal blood qi might be completely devoured by the thunder forces, leaving a lifeless skeleton.

"Indeed, it's extremely perilous."

Ling Chen couldn't help but frown. Previously, the Wind Thunder Cultivation Room wasn't strong enough, but now, its intensity was much higher than before, yet with considerable peril.

"Every strong person must have undergone countless trials, enduring life and death tests, to become sufficiently powerful."

Ling Chen thought, having experienced such tests many times, with opportunities and risks coexisting, often only one choice could be made.

"I will succeed, no matter how perilous it is, I must persevere."

"Fear of peril only leads to a faster demise."

Ling Chen gritted his teeth and persisted while also adjusting his state, striving to maintain a calm mindset to face the Thunder Ocean's bombardment.

Three whole days passed, after countless thunder strikes, every pore on Ling Chen's body oozed blood beads, enduring unimaginable pain at every moment, until even his consciousness became blurred.

He paused only when he truly couldn't endure anymore.

"Phew… reached the limit…"

Ling Chen exhaled a long breath, beckoned with his hand, causing the Void Emperor's royal decree to stop flashing and fly straight back into his hand.

With the loss of the decree, that violent Thunder Ocean quickly calmed down and dispersed.

Examining his body internally, he found his meridians nearly snapped, his internal organs on the brink of shattering, even his bones riddled with cracks.

His entire body was severely damaged.

It was conceivable how perilous it was earlier. Had he forced himself one more moment, he would have likely perished from body explosion.

However, this three-day extreme cultivation finally advanced Ling Chen's Thunder Intent from four parts to six parts.

Additionally, Ling Chen's understanding of Thunder Cut deepened, leading to new breakthrough points as the Thunder Intent elevated.

After resting for two days, Ling Chen restored his body somewhat.

Raising the Red Sky Sword, Ling Chen infused it continuously with True Qi, the sword qi rapidly spinning under the acceleration of thunder, forming a black thunderball at astonishing visible speed, the thunder squeezed to the limit, exuding a sense of annihilating everything, as if thunder crashes down to destroy all impurities.

Bang!

The thunderball collided with the cultivation room's wall, sending a shockwave sweeping all directions. Had Ling Chen not intentionally controlled it, the entire room might have been unsalvageable.

This is Ling Chen's newly realized sword technique, an upgraded version of Thunder Cut, Thunder Swallow.

While Thunder Cut merely utilized sword qi to attack opponents through slicing, Thunder Swallow added a devouring property, with enhanced destructive power.

"The Thunder Intent with six parts fire is considered entering the Small Accomplishment Stage."

Martial Arts True Meaning is simple and pure; it's the understanding level of martial arts conception, whereby one is one, two is two, combining with techniques can form martial arts. At Ling Chen's current stage, even the subsequent Saint Realm has true meaning as the basis. If the true meaning level isn't high, the martial arts created won't be formidable, akin to the foundation in architecture; without a good foundation, the building is greatly impacted, unable to be constructed excellently.

True meaning comprehended to the Small Accomplishment Stage is already impressive; the Great Accomplishment Stage means over eight parts fire, many Saints haven't comprehended it, while the Perfect Stage indicates ten parts fire, the ultimate limit of true meaning, representing the martial arts true meaning has reached the end in this category. To proceed further transcends the martial arts true meaning realm.

This cultivation session yielded substantial benefits, not only elevating the Thunder Intent to the Small Accomplishment Stage, but also understanding a new technique, all completed in just seven days, such astonishing speed would surely cause a sensation if known to others.
