Lu Chuan sat cross-legged at the highest point, starting the Thunder Summoning according to the method given by the Tower Spirit.

Soon, a mass of dark clouds gathered in the sky, with the rumble of thunder emanating from within, and lightning occasionally streaking across.

Lu Chuan took a deep breath, changed the hand seal, and a force shot straight into the clouds.

The next second, a terrifying bolt of Thunder Power slashed across the sky, striking Lu Chuan.

Boom!

Lu Chuan’s shirt instantly turned to dust, countless arcs of electricity dancing over his body.

Had it not been for his Primal Chaos Indestructible Body, he would have probably already become a charred corpse.

His face contorted in agony, veins on his forehead bulging like dragons, and his eyes instantly filled with bloodshot veins.

In just that instant, he felt as if he had nearly ascended to the heavens.

However, he didn’t dare to hesitate.

He immediately absorbed the power contained in the Thunder Power into his body, transforming it into his own strength according to the method.

The pain brought by the lightning strike was just the beginning.

The true unbearable pain came from the Thunder Power rampaging through his meridians after entering his body.

Lu Chuan felt his whole body go numb as if someone were scraping his meridians with a knife, the pain almost causing him to grit his teeth to pieces.

However, the strength transformed through this method was indeed much more robust than the power accumulated through normal cultivation.

Furthermore, refining a single bolt of Thunder Power was roughly equivalent to a week’s worth of accumulated strength.

After a long time, Lu Chuan finally completely refined the power of one bolt of lightning and then took a deep breath of relief.

The voice of the Tower Spirit rang out, “If you want to break through two levels of cultivation in a row, you need to refine at least fifty bolts of Thunder Power.

Can you endure that?”

Lu Chuan responded with a wry smile, “Whether I can endure it or not, I have to.

Given the current situation, either I wait for the Nine Spirits Primordial Saint to wake up and get blown away by him in one breath, or get struck dead by lightning.

Either way, it’s death, so I might as well choose the option that still holds some hope.”

Tower Spirit fell silent for a while, then said, “I take back my previous assessment of you.

You’re tougher than I thought, at the very least quite brave.”

Lu Chuan let out a hearty laugh, saying nothing more.

After a short rest, he began the second Thunder Summoning.

From that day on, the territory of the Demon Tribe was constantly filled with the sound of thunder, and it was clear to see that all the lightning was striking the highest mountain within the Demon Tribe Territory.

The members of the Demon Tribe found it extremely odd; the thunderclouds that had appeared out of nowhere were much more terrifying than the ones usually seen during stormy weather.

Many weaker demons shook in terror just from hearing the thunder.

Some demons, driven by curiosity to find out why the thunderclouds appeared, quietly climbed to the nearby mountains.

Upon seeing Lu Chuan undergoing the baptism of Thunder Power, their eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

Thus, the topic of discussion among the demons shifted from what to eat for lunch to why Lu Chuan was being struck by lightning.

After an intense discussion, a cat demon knowledgeable about humans concluded, “Humans have an old saying, ‘Pretentious acts court lightning strikes.’ If I’m not wrong, this Lu Chuan must have shown off in front of our king, and that’s why he’s being struck like this.”

“That can’t be right.

The king hasn’t left his quarters for days.

I heard the guards on duty say that at night, you can even hear the king secretly crying.

Lu Chuan must have done something to wrong the king and that’s why he’s being struck by lightning.

I’ve heard people say that humans like to make oaths all the time, and once an oath is unfulfilled, they get struck by lightning.”

“Humans sure are masochists, huh?

Why do they enjoy being struck by lightning so much?”

…

After being angry with Lu Chuan for two days, Yun Ji secretly went up to the mountain peak to take a look.

She realized at a glance that Lu Chuan was using some method to transform the Thunder Power into his own strength for a breakthrough.

Watching Lu Chuan’s painfully tormented appearance, she felt distressed for him but also felt it served him right.

“Would you rather endure this living hell than dual cultivate with me to enhance your strength?

Do I really repel you that much?”

“You might as well be struck dead by lightning!”

Yun Ji turned away angrily, but after walking a few steps forward, she couldn’t help but stop and look back at Lu Chuan, her eyes filled with a hint of reluctance.

Regardless of whether Lu Chuan had feelings for her or not, over the past few days, she had become certain that she liked Lu Chuan—and it wasn’t a fleeting impulse.

It came from the depths of her heart; she genuinely wanted something to happen between them.

Especially after Lu Chuan had rejected her, the feeling of heartache confirmed her own feelings.

Furthermore, women are strange creatures—often becoming obsessed with what they cannot have.

After watching Lu Chuan for a long while, she made a decision in her heart, then flew down the mountain to find Elder Eagle.

“I need to enter the trial grounds for a few days.

During this time, you take care of the clan’s affairs and keep a constant watch on Lu Chuan’s condition.

If he can’t withstand the lightning, use our Demon Tribe’s top healing resources—no matter what, he must not die.

Understand?”

Elder Eagle looked astonished and asked, “My lord, why suddenly go to the trial grounds?

It’s extremely dangerous in there.”

Yun Ji huffed and said, “No need to ask more, I am going to do what must be done.”

Afterwards, she flew toward the direction of the trial grounds.

One week later.

Atop the mountain peak.

Lu Chuan’s strong body was now scarred by the lightning strikes.

He looked pale as he stared at the thunderclouds in the sky, his hand gesture suspended in mid-air, hesitating to call down the thunder.

He had already endured the purification of forty thunder strikes, and both his physical and mental endurance had reached their limits.

He dared not summon any more lightning.

He was uncertain whether he could survive the next strike.

However, these forty thunder strikes had indeed brought him enormous strength, and he had reached the realm of Golden Core 3rd Cycle.

And he wasn’t far from reaching Golden Core 4th Cycle.

But to use Thunder Summoning to refine his body to achieve Golden Core 4th Cycle was impossible now.

Although he needed to withstand only ten more thunder strikes, he was no longer in the same condition as at the start.

Even a thunder strike no thicker than a thumb could potentially take his life now.

After a long period of indecision, Lu Chuan gave up completely and lay down on the ground, gazing at the sky, a wry smile appearing on his face, “In the end, I still couldn’t do it.”

The Tower Spirit’s voice rang out, “You need not blame yourself, you tried your best.

For these thunder strikes, the record holder only withstood twenty-five.

You withstood forty.

That’s already a miracle.”

Lu Chuan sighed.

Such records meant nothing to him now, as he would soon die at the hands of the Nine Spirits Primordial Saint.

Ever since he embarked on the path of cultivation, this was the first time he felt so desperate.

Just as he was contemplating how to arrange his own affairs, a beautiful face came into his view.

He quickly sat up and realized it was Yun Ji.

However, at this moment, Yun Ji’s breath was disordered, her clothes were torn in many places, her arms and legs bore numerous wounds, blood dripped from the corner of her mouth, and her face was extremely pale, indicating she had suffered serious injuries.

A look of confusion appeared on Lu Chuan’s face as he asked urgently, “Sister Yun, what happened to you?”

Yun Ji, with a stubborn look on her face, didn’t answer Lu Chuan’s question.

Instead, she held out a verdant fruit exuding intense spiritual energy and said, “Take this.”
