Chapter 108 Xuantian Thunder Body
A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Chen Xuan's eyes. As he waved his hand, the mysterious energy emitted an extremely terrifying energy wave, shooting straight towards the Demon Lord Liantian who was rushing towards him.

When Demon Lord Liantian saw the ball of mysterious energy emitting a terrifying aura roaring towards him, there was no color in his eyes.

It is actually composed of thunder, but it is just a projection of the time when the Demon Lord Liantian was going through the tribulation in the long river of time, which was captured by the Heaven's way against the will of Heaven.

The mark between his eyebrows flickered, and he instantly summoned several poisonous insects of various shapes, trying to use these insects to cast spells to resist the impact of the mysterious energy.

However, the magic spells transformed by those poisonous insects were like a mantis trying to stop a chariot in front of this killing move that combined the mysterious energy and the dark energy. They were completely destroyed in an instant with overwhelming force.

"boom!"

With a deafening roar, the mysterious energy ball exploded instantly. The powerful impact force spread to the surroundings like a tidal wave. Lightning flashed everywhere, and the thunderclouds within a radius of hundreds of miles turned into nothingness in an instant. The entire sky was dead silent.

The entire calamity area seemed to be stirred by a destructive force.

Facing the oncoming aura of annihilation, Chen Xuan's expression remained unchanged. With a thought, he exchanged bodies with his clone who had already fled hundreds of miles away.

After the light dissipated, Chen Xuan looked towards where the Demon Lord Liantian was. The lightning that made up his body had become extremely dim, and the figure made up of thunder had also become blurred and distorted.

Chen Xuan was overjoyed and wanted to take advantage of the enemy's illness to kill him. He immediately turned around and rushed towards the Demon Lord Liantian like a ghost.

Chen Xuan held the Blood-Crying Knife in his hand and swung out a blood-red blade beam that was dozens of feet long, slashing fiercely at the Demon Lord Liantian.

Although Demon Lord Liantian wanted to resist, the explosion just now had seriously damaged his vitality. After all, he was just a shadow, not his real self. At this moment, the power of thunder and lightning dissipated, and he was no longer able to resist Chen Xuan's attack.

As the figure of the Demon Lord Liantian gradually disappeared, the thunderclouds that surrounded Chen Xuan and covered the sky for thousands of miles finally slowly dissipated.

The dark clouds dispersed, and gentle sunlight shone from the sky, shining on Chen Xuan's face and casting a large black shadow.

"From today on, I, Chen Xuan, will only pursue my Ascension, and my actions will no longer be bound by the laws of nature or rules!"

After surviving the heavenly strike, Chen Xuan stood high in the sky and couldn't help but let out a long roar. A true demon cultivator was born from this moment.

Chen Xuan's mind moved, and Zhu Yin appeared beside him.

As soon as Zhu Yin appeared, he looked up at the sky and found that the thunderclouds had already dissipated. He couldn't help but show a look of shock.

He first walked around Chen Xuan's body, looking left and right, and carefully examined Chen Xuan.

After finally confirming that Chen Xuan was indeed safe, he still couldn't believe it and said:

"You actually survived the heavenly strike!"

Hearing this, Chen Xuan raised his eyebrows and said jokingly:
"Why, do you really want the heavenly tribulation to kill me so that you can replace me?"

Zhu Yin glanced at Chen Xuan and said angrily:
"If it weren't for that damn contract, I really would have wanted you to be struck to death by lightning. How dare you cut off my perception!"

Chen Xuan smiled, habitually reached out and poked Zhu Yin's round belly, and was about to say something.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Yin screamed as if he was pricked by a needle and jumped several feet away.

Chen Xuan was stunned and looked at Zhu Yin in confusion.
"what happened?"

"Hiss, how come there's electricity in your body? It hurts me to death!"

Chen Xuan looked carefully and found that the place on Zhu Yin's body that he had just touched had turned charred black, and there were traces of electric light flashing.

A burst of magic light appeared on Zhu Yin's body, and in an instant the whole place returned to normal.

Then he looked at Chen Xuan carefully again. Gradually, a trace of surprise appeared in Zhu Yin's eyes. He flew in front of Chen Xuan and stared at Chen Xuan's eyes, his expression gradually becoming horrified, as if he couldn't believe it.

"what is going on?"

Chen Xuan felt a little uneasy when he was stared at by him. Seeing his expression change, he couldn't help but ask.

"Boy, circulate your spiritual power and feel it carefully to see if there is any difference from usual."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan closed his eyes slightly, and the spiritual and dark energies in his dantian circulated. Strands of mysterious energy emerged and spread to his limbs and bones, constantly tempering his physique.

After a while, Chen Xuan slowly opened his eyes and said:

"There's nothing unusual about the circulation of the two energies of spirit and darkness. I just feel like the rate at which they're replenished after being consumed is much slower than before."

Seeing this, Zhu Yin seemed to have expected it and showed no surprise at all. He then said:

"You might as well try breathing again."

Although Chen Xuan was full of questions at this moment, he still did as Zhu Yin said.

After a moment, Chen Xuan opened his eyes, his face full of solemnity. He looked at Zhu Yin in confusion:

"The speed of breathing in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and even practicing has become much slower than before. What on earth is going on?"

Zhu Yin said in a serious tone:
"Your physique has changed."

"Physique, are you saying that I am no longer a body of infinite immortal talent?"

Zhu Yin nodded.
"Indeed, it is rumored that when a Heavenly Strike strikes, it will deprive a cultivator of their destiny. I originally thought that you had already survived the Heavenly Strike and would not be affected, but now it seems that is not the case."

Speaking of this, Zhu Yin couldn't help but think of the sudden weakening of the power of the heavenly strike when Chen Xuan was undergoing the tribulation. At that time, he just thought it might be a sign that Chen Xuan was about to successfully undergo the tribulation, so he didn't investigate it further.

But now when I think about it again, I immediately notice the clue.

Heavenly strike is different from heavenly tribulation. It will not weaken, but will become stronger and stronger as the cultivator resists, until it far exceeds the limit that the cultivator can bear. Only after the cultivator is completely dead and the soul is destroyed, will the heavenly strike dissipate.

At that time, the power of the heavenly strike that Chen Xuan endured had not even increased, so how could it weaken for no reason?

Zhu Yin then told Chen Xuan his thoughts.

For a moment, Chen Xuan fell into deep thought. In Chen Xuan's opinion, among all the cultivators he had met, if there was one who could rival the power of Heaven's Strike, it would be his grandfather. However, his grandfather had already ascended to the upper realms, so how could he affect the situation here?

In a trance, Chen Xuan felt as if his every move was controlled by a pair of big hands behind him.

He had no idea what the person behind the scenes was planning or why he was chosen, but this feeling of being manipulated made Chen Xuan feel a little annoyed.

After a long time, Chen Xuan came back to his senses and said to Zhu Yin:

"It doesn't matter. Even without infinite immortal resources, I believe I can achieve something. My special physique is just a shortcut. If I don't take the shortcut, I won't be able to reach the end. There is no such thing in the world."

"There's no need to be so pessimistic."

Zhu Yin spoke with a hint of a smile on his face.

Hearing this, Chen Xuan was shocked and asked:

"how do I say this?"

"Although you have lost your boundless immortal resources, you have unexpectedly awakened another physique, the Mysterious Heavenly Thunder Body!"

Zhu Yin said excitedly.

Hearing this, Chen Xuan felt his breath stagnate, and a look of joy appeared on his face again. He hurriedly asked:
"What is this Xuantian Thunder Body? I wonder which is stronger, the Wuliang Immortal Body or the Xuantian Thunder Body?"

"The Infinite Immortal Body is known as the world's most special physique. It naturally possesses advantages that other physiques cannot match. Otherwise, why would you feel that your cultivation speed is not as fast as before?"

Hearing this, Chen Xuan was stunned for a moment, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that if the Xuantian Thunder Body was stronger than the Wuliang Immortal Body, the current situation would not have occurred.

But then, Zhu Yin spoke again and added:

"However, each special physique in the world has its own advantages and disadvantages. Although Wuliang Xianzi is strong, it also has shortcomings in some areas compared to other special physiques."

"For example, Chu Xiaoyan, he has the Golden Crow Fiery Sun Body and is naturally close to fire. After cultivating the Golden Crow Fiery Sun Body to perfection, he can even attract the true fire of the sun and burn everything in its path.

Your current Xuantian Thunder Body is naturally close to thunder and lightning. The heavenly tribulations that others try to avoid will not pose the slightest threat to you. In fact, after you continue to break through, you can even call down heavenly tribulations at any time, turning all the thunder in the world into your own use, with extremely strong killing power."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan's expression finally relaxed. Fortunately, this Xuantian Thunder Body was not completely inferior to the Wuliang Immortal Body. At least in his future practice, he would no longer have to fear the heavenly tribulation.

Chen Xuan has decided to become a demon cultivator, and with his foundation, he will inevitably trigger a heavenly tribulation when he breaks through in the future.

Even if he had not made a breakthrough, but continued to practice the Tongming Lianhun Jue like today, it might still trigger a heavenly strike. However, as long as he could cultivate the Xuantian Thunder Body to a small degree of success, even the heavenly strike would not be able to do anything to him.

At this time, Zhu Yin spoke again:

"If you want to cultivate the Mysterious Heavenly Thunder Body, there is one thing you must have. Otherwise, you will only waste your time and fail to achieve even a small amount of success."

"what?"

Chen Xuan looked at Zhu Yin seriously and asked.

He dared not be careless in any way regarding matters related to spiritual practice, as this was a matter of life and death.

"Lightning-struck wood"

Zhu Yin spoke the name, and then, as if worried that Chen Xuan didn't know what the lightning-struck wood was, he explained it again:

"This lightning-struck wood, as the name suggests, is the branch of a tree that has been struck by lightning. However, this lightning must be heavenly thunder. And after enduring the heavenly thunder, the tree did not wither, but instead grew more vital and contained the power of heavenly thunder. Only then can it be called lightning-struck wood."

Hearing this, Chen Xuan's heart trembled, and he couldn't help but ask:
"There are many trees in the world that have been struck by lightning, but there are not many trees whose vitality does not diminish after being struck by lightning, but instead becomes more abundant!"

Zhu Yin nodded and agreed:

"Indeed, there are not many. You can even say that there are very few. They are almost extinct in the world."

When Chen Xuan heard the tone in Zhu Yin's voice when he said this, he knew that Zhu Yin must have clues about the lightning-struck wood.

Sure enough, after a while, Zhu Yin spoke:

"I've heard people talk about lightning-struck wood before, but I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, so I didn't remember the exact location. I only knew its approximate location."

Hearing this, Chen Xuan's heart tightened, and he hurriedly asked:

"Where?"

"Rampant Domain."

……

Thirty thousand miles south of the mountain where the Luoxia Sect is located, it is completely out of the range of the Hengduan Mountains and has arrived in the southern border of the Xuanwu Dynasty.

This place is very different from the northern border of the Xuanwu Dynasty.

The northern border is vast and sparsely populated, so there are many sects. The cultivators divide their sphere of influence based on the sects. The areas within a certain range around the mountain where each sect is located, including the mortal towns and villages therein, are all under the direct jurisdiction of the sect.

The situation in southern Xinjiang is different. The population in southern Xinjiang is dense and the terrain is mostly plains and basins, so there are very few sects within a few miles.

Therefore, most of the monks in southern Xinjiang live in cities and live together with mortals, but they do not interfere with each other under the control of strict rules and order.

The power is mainly based on cities, and each city is equivalent to a sect.

The city closest to the Hengduan Mountains is called Qianzhou City.

At this moment, a young man wearing a conical hat appeared not far from the gate of Qianzhou City. He was dressed in a black robe with a black jade hanging around his waist. He had an upright figure and dark skin. The wide conical hat covered his face tightly, but he exuded the pressure of an early stage foundation building, which made passers-by stay away from him.
