As night fell, dark clouds gathered thickly, peals of thunder echoed through the heavens, and massive bolts of lightning roamed within the clouds, illuminating the dim night sky.

Thunder roared, and torrential rain poured down.

At the peak of the Da Chun Divine Tree's crown, the Bronze Lightning Tower was completely aglow with dazzling electric light, Zhao Sheng sat cross-legged beneath the tower, gazing up at the vast sky of thunder, his eyes swirling with thunder light, reflecting the Tao True Text of "Thunder".

He casually tossed something, and sixty-four radiant streaks flew out from his palm, descending around like heavenly girls scattering flowers, transforming into sixty-four smooth, pitch-black crystal pillars as thick as an embrace.

As soon as these Ten-thousand-year-old Annihilation Thunder Pillars landed into their positions within the array, they immediately resonated with the all-encompassing thunder, abruptly releasing the thunderbolt Qi accumulated over countless years, all bursting forth into billions of blinding white thunders, resembling vast rivers of thunder light "flowing" in midair, all streaming toward the Array Heart where Zhao Sheng was placed.

At the same time, Zhao Sheng moved with his mind, and two gourd-shaped containers flashing with thunder light shot out from his Dantian, spinning once in midair, then hovering at either side above him, the openings' suction force surging, causing the surrounding "rivers of thunder light" to madly flow into them, rapidly forming two blazing white vortices with a diameter of over ten yards.

These Ten-thousand-year-old Annihilation Thunder Pillars, along with the Gathering Thunder Array, were all sourced from the Great Sect at Thunder Peak Mountain in the Spirit Realm. They were obtained by Zhao Sheng eight years ago through exchange from a Returning Void Elder of Thunder Peak Mountain.

Although this Gathering Thunder Array is only a small part of a legendary great array, being a product of Thunder Peak Mountain, it holds infinite wondrous applications for gathering thunder power, and Zhao Sheng naturally would not leave it unused.

With the complete activation of the Gathering Thunder Array, the entire space above the Thunder Tower platform transformed into a sea of thunder, ever surging with inconceivable thunder power, and the fluctuations of the Thunder Law grew ever stronger.

"Boom!" a giant explosion sounded!

The gathered thunder light sea at its limit, suddenly transformed into sixty-four massive, solid thunder pillars, projected down from the upper sky, instantly enveloping Zhao Sheng completely.

In this moment, the dark clouds spanning thousands of miles erupted with an unprecedented dazzling brilliance, countless lightning bolts pierced through the cloud layer, turning into innumerable ball lightnings, falling into the Gathering Thunder Array.

The already boundlessly abundant thunder power immediately surged nearly doubling, so rich it almost liquified.

Zhao Sheng let out a low groan, his body's bones crackling like exploding beans, releasing a series of snapping sounds, and his form rapidly expanded, transforming into a thunder giant over thirty feet tall.

On his skin's surface, the thunder light cascaded down like waterfalls, and in vital areas such as his seven apertures and chest Dantian, tiny vortices appeared one after another, continuously absorbing the madly surging "blazing white thunder water".

Pures of ultra-pure thunder power flooded into his limbs and bones, into his myriad Primordial Cells, and under the dual guidance of will and Divine Thought, constantly refining into droplets of Purple Cloud Thunder Power, finally converging into the Magic Power Sea.

Even with an exceedingly sturdy flesh, Zhao Sheng still felt his entire body bloating, as though forcefully filled with scalding magma, an entirely unpleasant experience.

A flicker of pain crossed his eyes, his jaw clenched tightly, allowing the Xuan Qiao to continue devouring the Starlight.

Unlike previously chasing thunder clouds, with the Gathering Thunder Array functioning, sixty-four thunder pillars poured down simultaneously like waterfalls, imbued with thunder power exponentially greater than before, their quantity too overwhelming to refine in time.

Threads of blinding electric light erupted from Zhao Sheng's countless pores, and his entire skin, illuminated by the thunder light entering his body, became nearly translucent, so clear that the tendons, bones, even muscles and blood vessels within were visible to the naked eye.

Even so, Zhao Sheng still was not satisfied, dozens of Divine Lights burst from his brow center, landing across the array positions, once more enhancing the Great Array's might.

In an instant, the sky full of thunder and electric light further condensed and liquefied, truly forming liquid rivers of thunder, circling around Zhao Sheng's body, completely "drowning" him.

...

Time passed, and years flowed by.

Zhao Sheng ceaselessly chased thunder and pursued clouds, using the Gathering Thunder Array as foundation to amass the thunder power of heaven and earth, training day and night the "Twelve Layered Clouds Tribulation Avoidance Scripture" and the "Six-nine Elemental Thunder".

Over a few years, the "Twelve Layered Clouds Tribulation Avoidance Scripture" had been cultivated to perfection, while the "Six-nine Elemental Thunder" had achieved the Small Success Realm.

The "Six-nine Elemental Thunder" forms the first half of the True Inheritor cultivation technique of Thunder Peak Mountain, trainable to the Divinity Transformation Limit.

This technique, in conception and cultivation potential, surpasses the "Twelve Layered Clouds Tribulation Avoidance Scripture", but is known for being abstruse and profound, with exceptionally high cultivation difficulty.

In the subsequent years of cultivation, though Zhao Sheng's progress wasn't the sensation of breaking through bamboo, it was still at least dozens of times faster than others of the same stage.

Just as he was fully launching into breaking through to Nascent Soul Perfection, time silently slipped away.

In the blink of an eye, thirty years had passed.

On this day, storm winds howled, rains poured down, countless lightning bolts tore through the darkness, their radiant brilliance illuminating the vast canopy below as if it were daylight.

Zhao Sheng sat cross-legged in the center of the Ancient Bronze Thunder Hall, his enormous form resembling a mighty mountain, immeasurably heavy.

At this moment, he was enveloped by a purple haze, his entire skin smooth like jade, appearing akin to the finest mutton-fat white jade, crystal clear and flawless.

His originally jet-black hair, cascading to his waist, had turned into a handful of purple, transparent and lustrous, with each strand seeming to harbor infinite destructive aura.
