Chapter 292 - Heavenly Thunder Roaring!

Boom, boom, boom—

Thunder rumbled in the sky, accompanied by huge flashes of lightning streaking across.

The once bright sky now seemed draped with a dark cloth, pitch-black and oppressive.

Lin Xuan’s face, once filled with terror, was now cold as he stared ahead at the two men, his eyes flashing with electric light.

“You two old dogs, this young master will keep you good company today!”

“Thunder strike!”

Elder Lu and Elder Wang were stunned and looked frantically toward the sky.

Above them, the clouds were densely packed, with silver arcs dancing among them, but there were no signs of them falling.

“Brat, do you think you’re what, the Thunder God?”

“Dare to scare me; today, I will definitely torment you for a couple more hours!”

The two sneered, totally unfazed.

This region was known for its thunderstorms, which they were well aware of.

In their eyes, the dark clouds overhead were just the signs of an ordinary thunderstorm, nothing out of the ordinary.

Their massive hands waved as they reached for Lin Xuan, the smug expressions still on their faces.

At that moment, a blue electric arc fell like the Nine Heavens Galaxy, piercing through heaven and earth, directly striking the mountain peak where Lin Xuan was.

Boom, boom, boom

The terrifying sound of thunder spread far and wide; within a thousand miles, every Demon Beast lay prostrate on the ground, trembling non-stop.

The disciples of Star Peak Pavilion looked skyward at the thunder and lightning with fear, with many peeing themselves in terror.

“Ah—”

Two miserable screams ripped through the sky, as pitiful as plucked roosters.

Lin Xuan quickly dodged, his Copper Thunder Patterns running at full force, but his eyes were filled with mirth.

These two old fools had positioned themselves right above the Array Eye, attracting the first Heavenly Thunder strike; they were certainly getting a taste of what they deserved.

“How does it feel to be struck by thunder, gentlemen?” Lin Xuan asked, smiling.

“You little beast, I’ll kill you!” Elder Lu spat out a mouthful of black smoke as he tried to speak.

Elder Wang fared no better; his hair stood on end from the strike, his body charred and in a sorry state.

“Still want to kill me?

Enjoy the taste of thunder!” Lin Xuan fully activated the Array, drawing down a sky full of thunder and lightning.

The entire mountain became an ocean of thunder and lightning, while Elder Lu and Elder Wang wanted to flee immediately, only to find themselves trapped by the Array.

Every attempt they made to attack the Array was met with a thunderbolt from above, causing them to scream miserably and run about holding their heads.

“Brat, to trap us with a scheme; I will personally kill you!” Elder Lu lunged forward in a frenzy.

However, the thunder and lightning near Lin Xuan were even more intense, forcing Elder Lu to retreat with screams of pain.

“Lin Xuan, you’ve trapped us, and now you can’t escape either.

Let’s forget our differences.”

“Yes, you’re a peerless genius; there’s no need to die here, it’s not worth it!” Elder Wang also chimed in, genuinely frightened.

If he were to die here, it would be a tremendous loss.

“Ha ha, you’re scared now?

Then beg me!” Lightning swirled around Lin Xuan, his skin cracked and hideous to behold, yet he laughed with sheer joy.

He and Elder Lu were different; those two didn’t know how to avoid the strikes, only how to endure them.

But Lin Xuan was different; he had the techniques Lord of Wine taught him, which weren’t simply about resisting thunder and lightning but using them for tempering his body and strengthening the Copper Thunder Patterns.

Even so, his body was in terrible shape.

Fortunately, he had the marvelous Longevity Technique, and the Life Essence of the Earth Spirit Liquid, enabling rapid healing of his body; hence, he dared to try.

In the Thunder Sea, Elder Lu and Elder Wang were so frustrated they ground their teeth, but eventually, they began to plead for mercy.

Lin Xuan laughed heartily, bearing the pain in his body, and said, “You two old dogs, will you kneel or not?”

“Kid, you a Half-step Melt Spirit, will definitely die before us; once you’re dead, there’ll be no more Heavenly Thunder!” Elder Wang said hatefully, as he had no desire to kneel before a young punk.

“Then enjoy the Heavenly Thunder obediently, and after this young master has broken through, I’ll come for your dog lives!”

Having said that, Lin Xuan stopped paying attention to the two and began to fully absorb the thunder.

Boom!

Thunder as thick as a bucket struck him, hitting him like a giant mountain, causing him to involuntarily spit out blood, his bones creaking loudly.

Hum!

Hum!

Copper Thunder Patterns flickered, forming mysterious electric patterns that rapidly absorbed the thunder into his body.

The violent thunder entered his body, unleashing horrific destructive power, causing Lin Xuan’s entire face to twist.

He let out a long howl to the sky, his black hair wildly waving, his entire body emitting a terrifying aura.

Crack!

Crack!

His clothes split open, revealing his robust body; he had already removed his close-fitting armor, now facing the thunder bare-bodied.

Swiftly circulating the Copper Thunder Pattern, Lin Xuan’s body became scorchingly hot, as if it was about to explode.

“Quick, follow the Silver Thunder Pattern’s spell and transform the copper patterns on your body into silver ones, and you will succeed!” Lord of Wine reminded him.

Upon hearing this, Lin Xuan pulled together his spirit and began to circulate using the pathway of the Silver Thunder Pattern.

On the surface of his body, the color of the Red Copper Thunder Patterns gradually faded, and, bit by bit, Silver Thunder Patterns with a glimmer of silver light began to form.

While Lin Xuan was undergoing the Thunder Body Refinement, Elder Lu and Elder Wang were going crazy.

Horrific wounds appeared on their bodies, and their expressions were utterly dejected; they now deeply regretted why they had toyed with Lin Xuan, why they hadn’t simply captured him?

Perhaps then, they wouldn’t have to suffer this thunderous torment, and the whereabouts of the Earth Rank Martial Arts might have already been extracted.

“Elder Lu, I told you to be wary of deceit, but you wouldn’t listen, now look what’s happened, I’m almost getting roasted!” Elder Wang complained with a resentful expression—he was in a very bad mood as several of his treasures had been destroyed.

“And you still say that, who was the damn fool who wanted to torture him to death?” Elder Lu replied indignantly, throwing away the deformed shield in his hand.

“You, you dare insult me, I’m going to fight it out with you!” Elder Wang snapped.

“Let’s fight then, who’s scared of who?” Elder Lu’s face was fierce.

The two continued to bicker endlessly, while not far away, Lin Xuan was undergoing a shocking transformation.

Blue thunder fell, shattering the mountains and rocks all around, with Lin Xuan standing amidst it all, his Thunder Patterns flickering, rapidly absorbing the energy within.

He had already used up one drop of Earth Spirit Liquid, and was currently using the second drop.

But the effects he obtained were clear; the Thunder Patterns on his body continually merged with the thunder in the sky, and a surging, powerful force was gradually rising within him.

Even the wild thunder inside him was being suppressed, and under the power of the Silver Thunder Body spell, it began to repair his body.

Many of the Thunder Patterns on his body had already turned silver, like a suit of silver War Armor draped over him.

Feeling ecstatic in his heart, Lin Xuan pushed the operation of the Silver Thunder Body even harder.

Gradually, a silver halo began to form around him, engulfing him like a cocoon.

This change finally caught the attention of Elder Lu and the others.

“This guy, he’s undergoing a transformation!”

“Such a strong aura; what kind of Body Refinement Technique is this that it requires the tempering of Heavenly Thunder?”

Both were shocked; even they didn’t dare to directly take on thunder, yet Lin Xuan, a mere kid at Half-step Melt Spirit, managed to absorb so much thunder—this made their eyelids twitch uncontrollably.

“This kid has too many secrets, just this Body Refinement Technique alone would drive a group of Melt Spirit Realm Martial Artists mad!”

“We can’t let him succeed; we must disrupt him!” Elder Lu said fiercely.

“Right, capture him, extract the method for the Body Refinement Technique, and dig out all the secrets he holds!” Elder Wang’s eyes were bloodshot, extremely agitated.
