Chapter 1847: Ninefold Thunder Sea! Please Help Me, Teacher!

Boom—!!

The moment he stepped through the light gate.

The deafening thunder roared like billions of primordial beasts bellowing simultaneously in his ears!

Xu Jingming's field of vision was completely flooded with boundless thunder!

The sky was a boiling sea of thunder, the earth a flowing plasma.

As far as the eye could see, only violent, flickering thunder that tore through space!

The nearby lightning displayed a deep, pale blue hue.

Each bolt was as thick as a dragon, winding and weaving, releasing destructive fluctuations capable of easily tearing apart stars.

In the distance, the thunderlight's color gradually shifted—pale purple, silver-white, dark gold...

Layer upon layer, like an endless, color-stratified thunder kingdom.

Gazing to the farthest horizon,

a faint trace of heart-stopping, destructive black thunderlight could be seen.

Merely sensing it from afar made the soul tremble.

"Is this the Ninefold Thunder Sea of the Thunder Realm?"

Xu Jingming's divine sense spread like a tide, instantly covering a radius of tens of thousands of kilometers.

According to the data given by the Sovereign of Lingge.

The Thunder Realm's interior consists of nine vast thunder seas, each layer more powerful than the last, like nine layers of thunder purgatory.

They are currently in the weakest, the first layer of thunder sea.

"But this thunder power is not bad."

Feeling the immense destructive power contained in the surrounding pale blue thunder, Xu Jingming's eyes flickered with surprise.

This is still just the outermost first layer.

Its power is so great that even an ordinary Immortal-stage powerhouse stepping in

would be blown to pieces in an instant, their divine body hard-pressed to survive.

"Such powerful thunder."

The Frost Crown Sovereign beside him also sounded surprised in her cold voice.

A layer of icy-blue divine power shield automatically appeared around her, crystal clear and translucent.

It completely blocked the incessant barrage of pale blue thunder from outside.

She follows the elementalist path; though her divine body has been tempered by law,

her strength is far inferior to that of a Sovereign specializing in body tempering.

In such an environment, she must rely on divine power protection.

However, for Xu Jingming,

this violent thunder is not a threat but instead invigorates his spirit!

"This thunder, comes at a good time!"

Not only did he not deploy any defense,

but he took a deep breath and actively removed the divine power barrier on his body surface!

Boom! Crack—!

Several bolts of pale blue thunder, as thick as water buckets, having found an outlet, violently struck him!

The blinding electric light instantly engulfed him!

Yet, within the electric light, Xu Jingming's figure remained unmoving.

An extremely thin layer of gold-green light halo naturally appeared on his skin surface, gently flowing.

The T0-level body tempering art《Star Core Lei Gang Body》automatically activated.

The violent thunder power striking it was largely absorbed and transformed by this layer of light halo.

Turning into strands of warm current, seeping into every inch of his muscles, bones, and organs.

Bringing a strange sensation of numbness yet full of power.

Full-direction thunder body tempering!

In this thunder-ravaged absolute land, his《Star Core Lei Gang Body》training efficiency will soar to an unimaginable degree!

"And not only that......"

Xu Jingming's eyes flashed with sharp light, "I can try to condense thunder patterns!"

The《Star Core Lei Gang Body》, as a T0-level body tempering art.

Besides Lei Gang, it can also condense thunder patterns!

So-called thunder patterns are similar to a charging effect.

When cultivated normally and filled, they can be instantly unleashed in battle, doubling power.

Previously, he rarely encountered such pure and violent thunder environments, so he had never tried to cultivate.

Now, this boundless thunder sea is the perfect training ground!

"Jingming, you can actually hard-resist with your divine body and even absorb this realm's thunder?"

Seeing this, the Frost Crown Sovereign's icy-blue eyes flickered with surprise, she instinctively asked:

"Your《Star Core Lei Gang Body》, how many layers have you cultivated to?"

"Sixth layer." Xu Jingming grinned.

"Sixth layer?!" The Frost Crown Sovereign's expression froze.

T0-level body tempering arts are exclusive to the Sovereign stage.

Every single level of advancement is extraordinarily difficult, requiring vast stretches of time and the utmost tempering of the physical body.

Back then, although she had relied on the Chiting Star Core to lay the foundation of this body-forging art for Xu Jingming.

She had not expected him to make much progress before formally stepping into the Ruler stage.

After all, the physical strength and origin comprehension of the Universe and Immortal stages have a fundamental gap from the Ruler stage.

But she never imagined that this disciple of hers not only cultivated it.

But also rushed straight to the sixth level in one go!

This level is usually attained by Undying Ruler powerhouses.

A threshold reached only after tens or even hundreds of thousands of years of bitter cultivation!

"No wonder you could reverse-kill Miyang with two spear strikes.

This physical strength alone already crushes the vast majority of Undying Rulers."

Ruler Shuangmian exclaimed softly in surprise, then quickly reacted:

"You're planning to condense Lei Wen now?"

Although she hadn't cultivated the "Star Core Lei Gang Body".

She knew the cultivation path of this body-forging art like the back of her hand.

Otherwise she couldn't have guided Xu Jingming's cultivation.

One look at Xu Jingming's movements now, and she knew what he was up to.

"Correct."

Xu Jingming nodded, his smile carrying a trace of anticipation:

"However, I'll still have to trouble you, Teacher, to help me imprint the initial meridians of the Lei Wen."

Lei Wen are not inscribed at will.

One must first use high-purity divine power to outline the most basic law-guiding pathways on the body surface.

Like excavating a riverbed for rivers.

Only after that can one draw in external Lei Ting to infuse them, gradually condensing and strengthening.

The carrying capacity upper limit of the guiding pathways.

Depends largely on the divine power strength and control precision of the one outlining them.

Xu Jingming could do it himself too.

But he has just entered the Ruler stage; though his divine power has undergone a qualitative change.

Its total quantity and purity still fall short of a Supreme Ruler like Shuangmian who has cultivated for millions of years.

With Teacher making the move, the effect is undoubtedly better.

"Good."

Ruler Shuangmian didn't refuse upon hearing this.

Her divine sense instantly swept across the violent Lei Hai surrounding them.

Her ice-blue eyes brightened slightly, her pale hand pointing diagonally ahead:

"Outlining Lei Wen requires focus; it cannot suffer continuous interference from external lightning.

There's a mountain body over there, hollow inside, can shelter from the lightning storms; let's go there first."

Finished speaking, the two turned into streaks of light, crossing a thousand li in an instant.

Plunging into a cave on a massive cliff wall polished smooth as a mirror by repeated Lei Ting scouring.

The cave interior was indeed spacious and dry, only faint Lei Guang arcs flickering at the entrance.

A world apart from the apocalyptic scene outside.

"Alright, here will do."

Ruler Shuangmian reined in her divine power, her beautiful eyes looking at Xu Jingming:

"What shape do you want your Lei Wen outlined into?"

The shape of Lei Wen has no fixed format.

Any pattern can ultimately serve the function of storing Lei Ting.

But if scribbled randomly, it's ultimately not pleasing to the eye.

Nor does it necessarily conform to the optimal path of energy flow.

Since we're inscribing, naturally we should inscribe something both beautiful and efficient.

"Teacher decide then; I trust your judgment."

Xu Jingming smiled openly, full of trust in Ruler Shuangmian.

After a brief pondering, Ruler Shuangmian nodded:

"Fine.

Take off your upper garment; I'll imprint directly on your back."

The optimal effect of Lei Wen is to have them imprinted properly all over the body.

But ultimately there's a difference between men and women; she chose to imprint the patterns on Xu Jingming's back.

"Good." Xu Jingming's mind stirred.

That Primary-grade Heavy Treasure black armor on his body, its upper half flowing and shedding like living liquid metal.

The convenience of a Heavy Treasure-grade equipment was fully displayed at this moment.

Soon, the armor shed away, revealing Xu Jingming's bare upper body.

In a flash, Ruler Shuangmian's gaze paused slightly.

Meeting her eyes was a male physique that could be called perfect.

Broad shoulders, with clearly defined lines like a chest and abdomen carved by axe and chisel.

Not appearing overly exaggerated, yet every part holds explosive power.

Long subjected to the tempering of the Star Core Lei Gang Body and top-tier Lei Ting.

Giving his skin a healthy wheat-colored luster, tight and full of elasticity.

The undulations of his muscles seem to follow the most harmonious rhythm in the universe, filled with masculine beauty and a sense of strength.

Under the gaze of the Frost Crown Sovereign, his breath nearly imperceptibly paused.

Though she has cultivated for over three million years, her heart is as pure as ice.

Even so, she could not help but inwardly marvel at this nearly perfect physique.
