Chapter 96: Great Desolation Thunder Method, Snake King Palace!

"This woman's experiences across two lifetimes are truly fascinating!"

In the Dali mountain range, Lu Chuan had finished absorbing all of Jiang Luoli's memories from her two lifetimes and had successfully organized the information contained within them, causing him to sigh with emotion, "In her previous life, this woman actually possessed an Immortal Art, a terrifying technique, and she was quite well-rounded, having dabbled in most things."

"To put it in one sentence, there was basically nothing Jiang Luoli did not understand."

Thinking of this, Lu Chuan sighed slightly and muttered to himself helplessly, "No wonder this woman was able to awaken her strength earlier than others in this lifetime and make various preparations sooner; it turns out she had this habit and style of doing things back in her previous life."

"However, her memories from two lifetimes are quite numerous, and I cannot make use of them all for the time being."

"I can, however, select one aspect to master as soon as possible."

Lu Chuan searched carefully through Jiang Luoli's memories of her two lifetimes for a while and finally found an Immortal Art, and one related to thunder techniques at that—the Great Desolation Thunder Method!

Come to think of it, ever since he transmigrated to this world, he had basically had nothing to worry about regarding his strength, and since he possessed such a profound cultivation method as the 【Devouring Heaven Power】, he was cultivating even faster than other Beasts and even humans.

He also had absolutely no need to worry about his cultivation speed!

The only thing he still lacked was some means of killing!

"When I was hunting those ancient Beasts before, I discovered that the power of thunder didn't have much of an effect on them anymore. As my strength grows in the future, I'm afraid the thunder power I currently possess will be nothing more than a tickle to them!"

Therefore, when Lu Chuan saw this 【Great Desolation Thunder Method】, he was instantly overjoyed, "Although I devoured the Thunder Origin Fruit before, it only gave me the power of thunder, yet I was unable to continue strengthening it myself."

"But with this 【Great Desolation Thunder Method】, I can make the power of thunder much stronger, and in this way, I can greatly increase my combat power."

"Very good, very good."

As his voice fell, Lu Chuan began to practice the thunder method right there in the Dali mountain range, at the location he had chosen for his old lair.

Time passed bit by bit, one day, two days...

Boom—

Seven days passed, and although the sky over the Dali mountain range was clear for thousands of miles, a clap of thunder erupted deep within the mountain range.

"Hahaha, it's done, it's finally done!"

Along with the thunderous explosion, a voice filled with extreme joy followed.

Deep in the Dali mountain range, Lu Chuan looked at the ancient tree in front of him that had been split in two by lightning, his eyes full of satisfied smiles, "The power of this thunder has increased greatly, and with my mental control, the power can be large or small, completely achieving a level of meticulous precision."

His words were not empty talk.

Beside this towering ancient tree, there was another pile of what looked like dust; these were the pulverized remains of a giant rock created by the thunder power Lu Chuan unleashed when using the 【Great Desolation Thunder Method】.

These remains were clearly formed by a lightning strike, yet they bore absolutely no traces of having been struck by lightning.

In some places further away, there were large areas covered in lightning-strike cloud patterns, as well as various pits and holes of different sizes...

During this time, every time Lu Chuan's mastery of the 【Great Desolation Thunder Method】 deepened by a fraction, his thunder power would grow stronger by a fraction.

"Roar—"

Of course, because Lu Chuan had caused such a huge commotion during this period, it had aroused the curiosity of the Beasts in the Dali mountain range, and now they had all gathered before him, seemingly wanting to attack but not daring to.

"Yo, there are even a few at Shackle Realm Stage Three."

He looked at these eager Beasts, his eyes devoid of fear and filled only with excitement, "You came just in time; I was worried about where to find you."

"Now, those willing to submit to me, stay where you are and look at me; those who are not willing... don't blame me for treating you as food."

"Roar, roar, roar—" The many Beasts roared one after another, their emotions extremely tense.

Seeing that the majority of them were unconvinced and only refrained from acting because of the lingering thunder power nearby, Lu Chuan suddenly summoned a bolt of lightning and struck a Shackle Realm Stage Three Beast to death, "I said, those willing to submit, follow me later; those who are not willing can only become my food."

"You have no third choice."

Lu Chuan had never been one to refuse prey that delivered itself to his doorstep.

After his words fell, several Beasts immediately expressed their willingness to submit, and now they stood before him, looking humble and very obedient.

As for some other Beasts, they seemed to have been frightened by the lightning, and after coming to their senses, they fled wildly in the direction they came from, not wanting to get involved in these matters.

Seeing this, Lu Chuan sneered, "Want to run? Did I give you permission?"

Boom—

In an instant, dozens of lightning bolts descended, and countless shrill screams immediately rang out in the mountain forest.

"Boss, they are..."

When Lu Chuan returned to the depths of the Qinling mountains leading dozens of Beasts, Xiaoqing, the Fire Leopard, and the rest of his Beast underlings were all stunned.

They looked at this group of strange Beasts, especially the one nearing Shackle Realm Stage Five, and were amazed, "Good heavens, did Boss go out this time specifically to target the Beast King?"

"Truly amazing..."

"They are new partners who will live with everyone from now on."

Lu Chuan gathered Xiaoqing and the other Beast underlings and introduced them to the new Beast underlings he had recruited in the Dali mountain range, "From now on, everyone live in peace. If there are any disputes, try to settle them with a fair duel, but do not take any lives."

"Alright, Xiao Wu."

"Have you finished rebuilding the Underground Palace I asked you to?"

Although the destruction of the previous Underground Palace had made many Beast underlings, especially Xiao Wu and his kin, very sad, that was all due to the ancient causes of the great changes in heaven and earth.

Therefore, when Lu Chuan noticed that there had been no movement for some time and that even the Kongjianliefeng were connected to the real world, he felt that the Underground Palace could be rebuilt.

Hearing the question, Xiao Wu nodded quickly, "Boss, it is already finished."

"This Underground Palace is sturdier than the last one, the location is deeper, and I have reinforced it with several layers all around, so even if another great change like the last one occurs, it will not be damaged."

"Good!"

"Let's go take a look."

Afterwards, Lu Chuan led the host of Beasts, marching majestically toward the underground.

Not long after, they arrived at a brightly lit, vast underground palace.

Lu Chuan walked around the place and felt very satisfied.

After a long while, he signaled for all his underlings to gather together, as he had something to say, "I intend to establish the Snake King Palace today, a faction that belongs to all of us, and strive to obtain more opportunities in this era of great contention."

"What are your thoughts?"
