Eternal Blood Emperor-Chapter 428: Thunder Tempering the Body

The group desperately hoped for the attacks transformed from the Power of the Five Elements to disappear soon. If they continued any longer, they truly wouldn’t be able to hold out.

It’s important to realize that with nearly every passing moment, hundreds if not thousands were losing their lives.

After all, Wang Ruoxie was the only one who could ignore these attacks from the Power of the Five Elements and even use them for cultivation.

All others had to rely on their own strength to contend with the attacks formed by the Power of the Five Elements.

Even Lv Qinghou, Du Chenfeng, and other three great kings and seven great supremes were somewhat wounded at this moment.

It could be said that Wang Ruoxie’s earlier words were completely provocative.

If looks could kill, he would have been dismembered by now.

"Boom!"

At this moment, thunderclouds roiled in the void, as terrifying bolts of thunder that seemed ready to descend at any moment.

"Damn, will it ever end? It’s not enough to have the Power of the Five Elements, now there’s also the Power of Thunder. It’s clearly out to kill us."

Feeling the terrifying aura emanating from the thunderclouds, many couldn’t help but start cursing.

Although they all knew that this array should be the test of that ancient mighty one, and if they could pass it, they were likely to obtain his inheritance. Nevertheless, they found it hard to accept the current situation.

The earlier attacks formed by the Power of the Five Elements had already resulted in more than half of them being dead or injured. These more terrifying bolts of thunder would definitely lead to heavy casualties.

Even the experts from the Blood Spirit Race had horrified looks on their faces at this moment.

Because their bodies were not like the flesh and blood of the Human Race, combined with their strong recovery power, they hadn’t suffered significant casualties from the earlier attacks of the Power of the Five Elements.

However, they feared this thunder even more than the Human Race, as the Power of Thunder was essentially their nemesis.

"Boom..."

Whether the group was afraid or not, the thunder in the void finally started to descend.

Countless purple bolts of lightning, carrying a power seemingly capable of destroying everything, struck towards the group.

Many couldn’t dodge in time and were instantly pulverized.

Both the Human Race and the Blood Spirit Race couldn’t withstand a single strike of the thunder, showing just how terrifying the power contained within these bolts was.

Even Lv Qinghou, Du Chenfeng, and other three great kings and seven great supremes, as well as those top-tier genius experts, were all left singed and hair standing on end from being struck.

As bolt after bolt of thunder descended, the numbers in the plaza dwindled increasingly.

In the end, only tens of thousands could still stand.

With only tens of thousands surviving from millions, even the phrase "nine deaths with one life remaining" wouldn’t describe the danger level of this array.

"Ruoxie, are you alright?"

Xiao Ningyue released the Taiyin Power, forming a shield as if forged of ice capable of withstanding the thunder strikes. She turned her gaze towards Wang Ruoxie and asked.

"I’m fine."

Wang Ruoxie shook his head with a smile.

"Boom!"

However, just as he finished speaking, a massive bolt of thunder struck him.

His hair stood on end, and his body was illuminated with thunder light.

This scene caused many to look on with cold smiles, thinking he deserved to be struck by lightning for being so arrogant.

Yet in the next moment, they discovered that the purple thunder light, after coursing through Wang Ruoxie’s body, gradually dissipated.

"These bolts can actually temper the physical body."

Wang Ruoxie’s eyes flashed with intrigue as he thought to himself. To test his hypothesis, he suddenly soared into the air, moving closer to the terrifying thunderclouds in the void.

"Boom, boom..."

One bolt after another struck Wang Ruoxie’s body. Although he appeared very disheveled and charred, his eyes grew increasingly bright.

This was because he could clearly feel his physical body rapidly strengthening as tendrils of Power of Thunder entered him.

Immediately, he hovered in mid-air, calmly standing amidst the strikes, not resisting but instead allowing the bolts to strike him again and again.

He was right in the center region of the thunderclouds, where each strike was the most fearsome.

"What is he trying to do?"

"Is this guy crazy?"

The crowd looked at Wang Ruoxie with astonishment, clearly not expecting him to be so reckless.

Xiao Ningyue, though looking at Wang Ruoxie with concern, also believed that since he dared to do this, he must have absolute confidence.

"Boom!"

With a dull sound emanating from Wang Ruoxie’s body, his cultivation finally broke through to the Second Layer of the Celestial Monarch Realm.

"He actually broke through?"

Feeling Wang Ruoxie’s breakthrough, the crowd looked on with surprise.

They never thought that being continuously struck by thunder could actually lead to a breakthrough in cultivation.

Many began to look eager, seemingly wanting to imitate Wang Ruoxie and see if they could use these bolts to raise their cultivation realm.

Before long, a few people soared into the air, heading towards the thunderclouds in the void.

"Ah..."

Yet before they could even get close to the thunderclouds, they were turned to dust by the terrifying thunder.

Witnessing the fate of these few, no one else dared to emulate, as boosting cultivation is vital, but life is even more so.

"Thrilling, more!"

At this moment, the void echoed with Wang Ruoxie’s excited voice, causing everyone to twitch their lips, wishing the lightning would just finish off this monster.

As time slowly passed, the crowd could feel that the aura emanating from the thunderclouds in the void grew increasingly terrifying, and the power of the strikes far exceeded those before.

However, the group’s pressure had greatly diminished. In fact, they no longer needed to worry about thunder striking them.

This was because nearly all the bolts were now attracted towards Wang Ruoxie, who stood in the void.

"Boom!"

A bolt as thick as a barrel viciously struck Wang Ruoxie.

Instantly, Wang Ruoxie’s body trembled violently, and he couldn’t help but spew a mouthful of blood.

"More."

Wang Ruoxie’s long hair continued to dance wildly, his eyes filled with pride as he howled at the sky.

"This lunatic."

The crowd was stunned as they watched Wang Ruoxie.

Xiao Ningyue’s gaze towards Wang Ruoxie was equally filled with excitement.

Under the surprised gazes of all, Wang Ruoxie slowly closed his eyes and utterly immersed his entire body into the thunderclouds.

Wang Ruoxie was not courting death; rather, he intended to comprehend the Thunder Profound Technique.

Thunder, powerful, domineering, destructive, unstoppable.

As time continued to pass, threads of thunder light began to gather on Wang Ruoxie’s body, standing amidst the clouds.

These were not from the thunderclouds, but his own thunder light.

Moments later, on Wang Ruoxie’s body, a brilliant purple Sword Qi burst forth.

And behind him, a giant purple Sword Shadow appeared.
