When Zhou Yu finished speaking, he was already three miles away.

Wang Yuan and Han Luonan had both left.

If Xia Liu wanted to kill, I would undoubtedly be the first target.

In the face of a Thunder Striker with strength comparable to the late Golden Pill Stage, it was certain death.

To be safe, I could only flee and apologize to Xia Liu simultaneously. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Xia Liu had long been prepared for such a situation.

How many people who can cultivate to the Golden Core Stage are simple?

Their minds, honed to the level of demons, consider their own safety first.

After confirming that the three of them had retreated completely, Xia Liu ordered the Thunder Striker to guard the spot.

He then broke through the barrier outside the valley and slipped in.

After entering the barrier, Xia Liu seemed to be in another world.

There was no sun or moon, no stars, only thunder!

The sky filled with dark clouds had no visible edge.

The thunder grew larger from the outside in.

On the outer perimeter, they were just like small, fine Mysterious Thunders.

Within a mile, they had grown as large as mature Lin Mu trees.

Further inward, Xia Liu's Divine Sense couldn't penetrate.

The thunder inside was too terrifying, advancing further might harm his Divine Sense.

Mysterious Thunders descend from the sky every ten minutes.

They bombard the ground relentlessly.

Interestingly, the ground in the Thunder Region was like a serene lake surface, presenting a green color.

Stepping on it, there was no feeling at all.

Xia Liu had never seen such a mystical sight.

"You have yet to practice the Thunder God Body; I'm afraid you can't even go a hundred meters, just stay around one meter to practice."

Bai Jue transmitted the thought.

...

Xia Liu wanted to say that there was a huge difference between one hundred meters and one meter.

Ultimately, he didn't say it out loud.

Given his previous physical strength, one meter would do...

After a round of thunder faded, Xia Liu entered the one-meter range.

He sat cross-legged, quietly operating his Cultivation Technique along with the Thunder God Body Heart Technique.

Waiting for the thunder to arrive.

Ten minutes later, muffled thunder roared within the clouds.

The next instant, rumble, rumble, rumble!!!

Inside the Thunder Region, lightning flickered everywhere.

"Hiss!"

At the instant of being struck by the thunder, Xia Liu's facial expression twisted.

Pain, numbness, and a sense like his soul was getting probed.

It was simply thrilling beyond imagination!

Were it not for having consciousness far beyond the ordinary, Xia Liu might have lost control and fled the Thunder Region the moment he was struck.

Because the thunder contained pure Spiritual Power.

This Spiritual Power, albeit subtle, changed the essence of the thunder.

Ordinary cultivators simply can't touch it.

Were it not for operating the Thunder God Body Heart Technique, Xia Liu would likely find it difficult to endure this level of thunder.

With the operation of the Thunder God Body Heart Technique, all Xia Liu's sensations scattered in an uproar.

He could clearly feel the thunder energy entering his body gradually being refined.

Even that subtle Heaven and Earth Spirit Power got refined.

The feeling was so wonderful it couldn't be put into words.

Thrilling!

"Haha! At the beginning, it may be painful, but then you'll find the thunder's wonderfulness!"

"Elder Bai, you're right, I noticed it now, it's simply awesome!"

Xia Liu responded excitedly.

"Hehe..."

Bai Jue's laughter echoed.

He didn't say anything else.

He dared to guarantee that in the upcoming days, Xia Liu wouldn't be able to laugh anymore.

"Ah!"

Ten minutes later, another round of thunder struck.

This time Xia Liu didn't feel that comfortable feeling anymore.

Instead, it was a burning pain!

Not a patch of skin, not a spot, not an inch of meridian on his whole body didn't scream pain.

Such pain almost drove people to the brink of collapse.

However, Xia Liu held on.

He must endure this pain to become strong!

"The Thunder God Body's initial operation does indeed feel wonderful when receiving thunder, but afterwards, it becomes more difficult to endure."

Bai Jue transmitted an explanation: "What is the Thunder God Body? It refines every inch of your body, baptizing it with thunder, and after rebirth, you'll cultivate a true thunder body!"

"I understand."

Clenching his teeth, Xia Liu silently endured all the pain.

Seeing Xia Liu's determined attitude, Bai Jue said no more.

Carefully observing, if he showed signs of life-threatening danger, Bai Jue would immediately take him out of the Thunder Region.

In the following days.

As Bai Jue had said, Xia Liu was in constant agony.

Until the eighth day.

He let out no more sound, even when thunder smote him, feeling nothing.

Xia Liu knew he had perfected his training in this zone.

To improve further, he needed to go deeper into the Thunder Region.

This inner zone meant only moving from one meter to ten meters or dozens of meters deep.

Within a mile, given Xia Liu's current body, a venture there might result in being shattered by thunder instantly.

Sss!

At ten meters from the external Thunder Region, the first round of thunder fell, and Xia Liu drew a cold breath.

It seemed he was accustomed to the pain, as his body was already numb, and Xia Liu didn't shout in agony anymore.

He simply drew a cold breath and made no further sound.

His grim face, however, was heart-wrenching.

To become strong, all this was necessary!

Xia Liu understood this deeply.

So, let the thunder strike even more violently!

Time flies, and time passes more swiftly amidst cultivation.

Over and over, Xia Liu had been cultivating in the Thunder Region for three months.

Three months took him from the one-meter position to several hundred meters.

When a round of thunder dispersed into the heavens and earth.

One could see that a faint azure light emitted from Xia Liu's body surface.

That was a sign of nearing Minor Achievement in the Thunder God Body!

"Not bad! In a short time managing to train the Thunder God Body to this level!"

Even Bai Jue couldn't help but praise.

The Thunder Region was indeed an excellent place to cultivate the Thunder God Body.

But without High-Strength talent.

An ordinary cultivator might need two or three years to match Xia Liu's three months.

"I don't feel any further improvement now..."

"Yes, you've reached a bottleneck, but this bottleneck can be easily broken."

Bai Jue's response directed Xia Liu's gaze three hundred meters away.

The thunder there was completely different from where he was.

Almost several times larger.

These days, Xia Liu had been wondering whether he could enter there now.

At this moment, the answer was clear!

Before the thought fell, Xia Liu had already settled inside the Thunder Region, a mile deep seated.

Waiting for a completely different thunder!

Rumble, rumble, rumble!!!

The thunder roared tremendously.

Xia Liu clenched his jaw, fully prepared for the encounter.

"Ah!"

Thunder struck, an angry roar came from Xia Liu's mouth.

He felt as if his body was about to ignite.

The blue light flashed across his skin, and the Thunder God Body Heart Technique operated to the extreme.

The unprecedented pain gradually subsided somewhat.

But just as it eased a bit, the second round of thunder mercilessly fell.

After the second round of thunder faded, Xia Liu was almost in a state of unconsciousness.

But relying on his inner conviction, he forcibly lifted his head to meet the third round of thunder.

In the subsequent period, Xia Liu persistently endured repeatedly, anticipating the moment of Minor Achievement of the Thunder God Body...
