Surging Strength

"This kid's gone crazy!"

Inside the cave, Chen Hai and the others were terrified beyond measure. After drinking more than half a cauldron of Thunder Spirit Milk in one go, Lu Changsheng was covered in lightning, like a thunder god thirsting for battle, unleashing an utterly terrifying combat power.

Boom!

With a single punch, terrifying Lightning Power swept out. More than a dozen Lone Wolf Gang disciples were struck until their internal organs ruptured, blood spraying wildly from their mouths.

"Wind Thunder Fist!"

Lu Changsheng clenched his fist, and endless lightning power gathered toward it, causing silver lightning to erupt from his fist as a destructive aura burst forth.

This time, the power of the Wind Thunder Fist had increased by at least several dozen times!

So that's how it is!

Lu Changsheng was shocked inwardly.

No wonder he had always felt that the Wind Thunder Fist lacked power when he cultivated it before. He finally understood now—the Wind Thunder Fist needed to absorb lightning power before it could unleash its greatest might!

"Big Brother, I was wrong!"

Chen Hai's face turned pale as he swallowed hard. Although he had taken a Beast Blood Frenzy Pill, he was nowhere near a match for Lu Changsheng, who had consumed Thunder Spirit Milk.

"Die!"

Lu Changsheng's gaze was icy.

Bang!

"Ah!"

With one punch, Chen Hai's body instantly exploded into a cloud of blood!

"Run!"

At the sight of this, Zhang Meng and the others were so frightened that their souls nearly fled their bodies.

They scattered in flight at once. Lu Changsheng was about to pursue and kill them, but the violent lightning power within him continuously made his body swell. Then, his skin split apart under the strain, blood seeping out.

"Damn it!"

Lu Changsheng's expression changed.

Waves of agonizing pain struck him, and only then did Lu Changsheng realize he had gone too far. He had swallowed too much Thunder Spirit Milk in one gulp; his body simply could not withstand it. If this continued, his fleshly body would sooner or later burst apart!

Enduring the excruciating pain, Lu Changsheng desperately thought of a solution.

"Heaven Swallowing Creation Art!"

At this moment, Lu Changsheng could only place his hopes on the cultivation art.

He sat cross-legged, then rapidly formed hand seals and began circulating the Heaven Swallowing Creation Art. As the art operated, the black hole within his dantian instantly erupted with a powerful suction force, like a colossal mouth madly devouring lightning power.

However, although the Heaven Swallowing Creation Art was devouring it frantically, the lightning power expanded far too quickly. Before long, cracks spread across Lu Changsheng's body, leaving him a mangled mass of blood and flesh.

Fortunately, the Heaven Swallowing Creation Art played a crucial role, crazily refining the lightning power.

Gradually, Lu Changsheng actually transformed into a scarlet blood cocoon.

This refinement lasted a full three days. Three days later, the blood cocoon cracked open with a sharp crack, revealing Lu Changsheng's reborn body.

Boom!

A powerful aura suddenly erupted from Lu Changsheng's body!

"What a blessing in disguise!"

Lu Changsheng opened his eyes, delight immediately appearing on his face.

The Heaven Swallowing Creation Art had thoroughly refined the Thunder Spirit Milk, transforming it into power that constantly nourished his body.

After three days, his cultivation had actually broken through to the eighth level of Core Condensation Realm!

In other words, refining the power of that Thunder Spirit Milk had raised him by five minor realms in one stroke!

"Thanks to the Heaven Swallowing Creation Art, this heaven-defying cultivation art. Otherwise, I would probably have died today."

Lu Changsheng secretly rejoiced.

The power within Thunder Spirit Milk was simply too violent. An ordinary person would need several days even to refine a single drop.

Yet he had nearly drained an entire cauldron of Thunder Spirit Milk in one go.

That violent power had nearly burst his body apart.

Luckily, after being refined by the Heaven Swallowing Creation Art, the danger had been completely averted.

Moreover, his strength had risen tremendously once more!

"The eighth level of Core Condensation Realm..."

Lu Changsheng clenched his fists and felt the surging spiritual power within him, unable to keep himself from feeling astonished.

Back then, he had cultivated on Labor Peak for more than a decade, yet his realm had remained at the Second Level of Qi Condensation.

But after obtaining the Creation Devouring Heaven Cauldron and the Heaven Swallowing Creation Art, he had advanced to the eighth level of Core Condensation Realm in less than a month!

Even Inner Disciples could only eat his dust at such a rate of advancement.

Thinking of this, Lu Changsheng immediately took out the Creation Devouring Heaven Cauldron again.

One look told him that only eight drops of Thunder Spirit Milk remained inside the Creation Devouring Heaven Cauldron!

"I'll leave these eight drops in the Creation Devouring Heaven Cauldron. In a few days, they'll surely multiply many times over."

Lu Changsheng grinned.

As long as he had the Creation Devouring Heaven Cauldron, even a single drop of Thunder Spirit Milk could continuously produce more.

During this time, Lu Changsheng had also studied the Creation Devouring Heaven Cauldron.

He discovered that as long as something was placed inside the Creation Devouring Heaven Cauldron, the longer it remained there, the greater the improvement in quality it would receive.

In theory, if a first-grade pill were left inside long enough, then under the Creation Devouring Heaven Cauldron's continuous enhancement, it could possibly advance into a ninth-grade pill!

Of course, the higher the grade of an item placed into the Creation Devouring Heaven Cauldron, the longer it would take for its grade to improve.

For example, a low-grade first-grade pill required at least half an hour to advance into a high-grade first-grade pill.

But for a fifth-grade pill to advance into a sixth-grade pill, it would likely require at least half a month.

Naturally, whether the Creation Devouring Heaven Cauldron possessed any other miraculous effects was something Lu Changsheng would have to slowly explore.

Coming back to his senses, Lu Changsheng hurriedly placed the Sky Swallowing Cauldron into his dantian.

Then, carrying the Lion Cub in his arms, he swiftly left the cave.

Three hours later, Lu Changsheng returned to Labor Peak. Although he had already become an Outer Disciple and could live on a better spirit peak, he had grown used to Labor Peak and had no desire to move elsewhere.

"Lu Changsheng is back!"

"Damn it, I heard this guy became an Outer Disciple!"

"Did I hear that right?"

"..."

Upon returning to Labor Peak, Lu Changsheng immediately stirred discussion among countless Miscellaneous Servant Disciples.

No one dared believe that this person, known as the greatest good-for-nothing among the Outer Disciples, had actually become an Outer Disciple!

It was simply unbelievable!

Lu Changsheng naturally turned a blind eye to the discussions around him. He was no longer the Miscellaneous Servant Disciple whom others could bully at will!

Back in his little ramshackle hut, Lu Changsheng took out the Creation Devouring Heaven Cauldron again.

"It really increased!"

Lu Changsheng looked delighted.

The Thunder Spirit Milk inside the Creation Devouring Heaven Cauldron had now become fifteen drops. As long as he kept the Thunder Spirit Milk in the Sky Swallowing Cauldron, more Thunder Spirit Milk would continuously be produced!

Of course, besides increasing in quantity, the quality of the Thunder Spirit Milk would also greatly improve.

"Awoo, awoo!"

At that moment, the Purple Crystal Thunder Lion Cub let out hungry cries again.

Left with no choice, Lu Changsheng took out some Thunder Spirit Milk from the Sky Swallowing Cauldron and let the Lion Cub enjoy a hearty meal.

"What a little spendthrift. Luckily I have the Creation Devouring Heaven Cauldron, or I really couldn't afford to raise this Lion Cub."

Lu Changsheng grinned.

Just then, a shout suddenly rang out from outside Labor Peak.

"Who is Lu Changsheng? Get your ass out here right now!"
