Su Yu stepped into the Thunder Marsh.
Instead of feeling muddy, I felt a tingling, electric shock-like sensation under my feet.
The scene before my eyes twisted and changed in an instant.
The pervasive blue miasma and the swampy puddles disappeared, replaced by a solitary space shrouded in endless lightning.
In the center of the space, a huge stone tablet, hundreds of feet tall, stood silently.
The stone tablet is a deep blue-green color, and its surface looks as if it has been struck by billions of lightning bolts, covered with ancient and complex patterns.
Countless fine blue electric snakes crawled across the stone tablet, making soft crackling sounds. The thunderous aura they emitted was pure and vast, even more than ten times purer than the thunderous essence within the two Twin Thunder Flood Dragons.
"This... this is... the Heavenly Stele of Inheritance!"
Luo Yuan followed closely behind and stepped inside. The moment she saw the stone tablet, she gasped in surprise, her voice trembling slightly with excitement.
She braced her spear against the ground, supporting her body, which was trembling slightly from the shock.
Su Yu ignored her; his gaze was already firmly drawn to the stone tablet.
That pure lightning energy caused the Perfected Thunder Intent within his body to become uncontrollably active and boiling, as if a subject had seen a king and was yearning to pay homage.
"Interesting. It's not just a simple energy body; it's more like a convergence source of Law of Thunder."
A judgment flashed through Su Yu's mind, and purplish-blue lightning instantly condensed in his eyes.
The Perfected Thunder Intent, unleashed with full force!
Buzz!
His gaze seemed to transform into two invisible blades of lightning, piercing through the raging curtain of electric light on the surface of the stone tablet, revealing the ancient, flowing characters hidden beneath.
While Luo Yuan was still captivated by the grandeur of the Heavenly Stele, Su Yu calmly scanned the inscription as if reading a newspaper.
"My name is Liu Sheng, the Thunder-Subduing King the Great Qian Dynasty. I lived for five hundred years, but was trapped at the King Realm Ninth Layer Peak. In order to seek a sliver of hope for survival in the Emperor Realm, I ventured alone into the God-Burial Land..."
"Heaven has forsaken me. The dangers here far exceeded my expectations. I encountered an ominous creature, fought fiercely for three months, my laws shattered, and my soul is on the verge of destruction. What a tragedy!"
"Throughout my life's learning, I do not wish to sever this legacy. I leave behind Nine Heavens Thunder Control True Art supreme-grade Heaven Realm thunder techniques on this stele: the 'Nine Heavens Thunder Spirit Refinement True Technique' (a top-tier Heaven Realm Divine Refining Technique), the ' Myriad Transformations Thunder Hand Thunder Dragon Prison Suppression Step ' (a top-tier Heaven Realm Body Technique), the 'Myriad Transformations Thunder Hand,' the ' Nirvanic Divine Thunder,' and the ' Eye of Heavenly Punishment.'"
" Lei Yan is the first test, examining the intruder's physique and character. Only those who can defeat it are qualified to see my Heavenly Stele."
"This stele is the second test. It contains my life's insights into thunder magic. If one is destined to understand the Thunder Intent, one can use this stele to ascend to heaven in one step and condense the laws."
If one has already grasped the principles, one can also verify them here, thus perfecting the principles.
"You have three days. Those who fail to resonate with the Heavenly Stele and condense the rudiments of a law within three days will be teleported out. Remember, this place is ominous; do not linger..."
The last characters, written with waning strength, were clearly carved by Liu Sheng with his last breath as he lay dying.
Su Yu finished reading expressionlessly and then looked away.
"They're already dead, why all this fuss? Just throw out the cultivation manual, isn't that enough? Is this some kind of ritualistic ceremony for the King Realm expert?"
He calmly muttered a complaint to himself.
However, this trip was definitely worthwhile.
The Spirit Refinement Heaven Realm technique is precisely his current weakness.
Although his " Azure Nether Purple-Gold Spirit Refinement Record " is a top-grade Earth Realm, it is ultimately still a whole realm short.
" Liu Sheng... it's actually Thunder Suppression King Liu Sheng, who disappeared three hundred years ago!"
Luo Yuan finally calmed down, muttering to herself, her eyes filled with awe and longing, "Legend has it that he once single-handedly summoned divine lightning from the heavens to destroy a demon kingdom guarded by several powerful demons at the Heaven Realm. I never imagined... he would perish here."
She looked at Su Yu, her expression complex. "This test is to comprehend the Heavenly Stele and grasp the Law of Thunder. You..."
Before she could finish speaking, Su Yu had already walked straight to the Heavenly Stele and sat down cross-legged.
The movements were swift and decisive, without the slightest hesitation.
"Guardian."
Those two familiar words again.
Luo Yuan gave a wry smile, gripped his spear tightly, and retreated a hundred feet away, cautiously surveying his surroundings.
She knew that her only role now was to be a competent guard.
Su Yu closed his eyes, and his divine sense surged out like a tide, cautiously probing towards the Thunder Art Heavenly Stele.
boom!
The instant his divine sense touched the stone tablet, a vast, star-like thunderous will surged back!
That will contained no malice, only the pure pride and majesty of the King Realm expert.
It was as if it were saying: How dare you, a lowly scoundrel, covet my Dao Fruit?
"A show of force, huh?"
Within Su Yu's sea of consciousness, the purplish-gold divine embryo trembled slightly, and the Azure Nether aura flowed, stabilizing his mind.
He snorted coldly, not only did he not back down, but he also released his perfect Thunder Intent without reservation, actively meeting the King Realm will!
If Liu Sheng's thunderous will is a vast ocean of thunder...
Su Yu's Thunder Intent was a lightning divine blade condensed to its extreme, with unparalleled sharpness!
Despite its small size, it boasts extremely high quality!
laugh--
The divine blade and the ocean clashed fiercely in the invisible space.
There was no earth-shattering sound, but Luo Yuan clearly saw that the lightning on the surface of the Heavenly Stele flickered violently for a moment.
Immediately afterwards, the King Realm majesty that had rejected everything, like a tiger encountering its own kind, slowly withdrew its hostility and instead released an intention of acceptance and guidance.
The test has been passed.
In the next instant, endless insights into lightning techniques, like a bursting dam of a galaxy, surged wildly into Su Yu's sea of consciousness along with his divine sense!
At that moment, Su Yu's consciousness seemed to be pulled into a world made of lightning.
Here, he saw a towering figure; with a wave of his hand, thunder dragons roared, tearing the sky apart; with each step, lightning transformed into staircases, traversing the void; and with each open eye, divine punishment lightning descended from nowhere, judging all things.
That is the Tao and Dharma left behind by Thunder Suppression King Liu Sheng.
Su Yu was completely absorbed in it, like a dried-up sponge, frantically absorbing this knowledge.
Under the influence of this immense enlightenment, his own Perfected Thunder Intent began to transform into a true "law" at an alarming speed.
"System, consume two million Slaughter Points and perform a deduction. Target— the Law of Thunder!"
Without hesitation, Su Yu issued the command in his mind.
"Ding! 2,000,000 Slaughter Points consumed. Deduction begins..."
Boom!!!
Two million Slaughter Points instantly ignited, transforming into an indescribable force that forcibly accelerated this process of enlightenment and transformation.
With the system's assistance, Su Yu's consciousness analyzed Liu Sheng's core lightning technique at an unprecedented speed, stripping away its essence and integrating it into his own body.
Time passed by, second by second.
