Chapter 305: Thunder God Essence
After an unknown amount of time, Sun Zhe finally slowly regained consciousness. He opened his eyes and found himself lying on the altar, surrounded by a Purple Thunder Light Barrier. Countless violent Purple Thunder energies roamed outside the altar, seemingly isolating the entire altar into another space.
Sun Zhe's body jolted suddenly as memories flooded back to him. He recalled the aged voice he had heard before losing consciousness, and he had witnessed a purple shadow sending a Divine Realm mid-stage Ancestral God Corpse flying. Thinking of this made a cold sweat trickle down his back. If even a Divine Realm mid-stage Sword Corpse could be easily sent flying, just how powerful was the guardian of the Thunder God Altar?
"Hey, why are you still lying there after waking up? Young people shouldn't be so lazy..." The aged voice slowly echoed, identical to the one he had heard before fainting; it was indeed that mysterious Altar Guardian.
Sun Zhe sprang to his feet and turned around, only to be astonished to find that standing before him was not a peerless powerhouse but an Aged Unicorn Divine Beast. Its purple eyes, filled with a profound sense of Vicissitudes, were gazing at Sun Zhe. Upon seeing those eyes, Sun Zhe's previously tense mood instantly calmed down.
From the gaze of this Unicorn Divine Beast, he felt no killing intent or terrifying pressure, as if he were facing an Old Domain Master, only able to perceive the weight of countless years.
"You... are you the guardian of the Thunder God Altar?" Sun Zhe asked tentatively, his gaze flickering slightly.
"Correct!" As if seeing through Sun Zhe's thoughts, the Unicorn Divine Beast nodded and spoke two words, its eyes sparkling with amusement.
"You... then why don't you kill me?" Sun Zhe frowned and boldly asked directly.
"Why would I want to kill you?" The Ancient Unicorn Divine Beast's smile widened as it countered with a question.
"I want to take what's on that altar; aren't you the guardian of this altar?"
Sun Zhe pointed at the Purple Light Sphere floating above the altar, which was precisely what he had desperately sought after—the Thunder God Essence. He had seen its presence as soon as he stood up but hesitated to act due to the formidable presence of the Ancient Unicorn Divine Beast before him.
"You obtained the map to the Thunder God Altar; this is fate at work. Now that you've passed through numerous obstacles and endured the Thunder Pressure on your way up the mountain, you've also passed the test of the Thunder God. This Thunder God Essence is meant for you; wanting to obtain it is no problem at all." To Sun Zhe's surprise, the Ancient Unicorn Divine Beast showed no signs of surprise and instead regarded everything as perfectly normal.
While it found it normal, Sun Zhe felt it was anything but. If it were that simple, why would it need to be here? Was this guardian merely protecting an empty shell? However, he dared not voice these thoughts directly; for the first time, Sun Zhe felt an urge to go crazy while talking to a beast.
"Aren't you responsible for guarding this Thunder God Essence?" After a long pause, Sun Zhe couldn't help but ask again.
"Heh heh, I guard this place to prevent those restless fellows outside, not to guard against you. This altar can only be entered by successors besides myself. Now that you meet the qualifications, you are that successor and can naturally obtain that Thunder God Essence. Once you fully merge with this Thunder God Essence, I will no longer need to guard this place."
The Ancient Unicorn Divine Beast seemed to recall something, and a hint of faint sadness flashed in its eyes. It sighed softly and spoke again.
"Alright, you don't need to ask any more questions. Once you completely merge with this Thunder God Essence, you will understand everything. This Thunder God Essence contains everything you should know."
After hearing the Ancient Unicorn Divine Beast's words, Sun Zhe finally understood its meaning. Its purpose was to guard against the monsters in the Endless Abyss, and he hadn't considered that the heavy Leiya outside was also a kind of trial. He couldn't help but feel a sense of luck at the thought of what might have happened if he had given up back then.
Listening to the Ancient Unicorn Divine Beast, Sun Zhe no longer hesitated and walked directly toward the Thunder God Essence on the altar. He had no doubts about the Ancient Unicorn Divine Beast's words; with his current strength, it could easily blow him away with a single breath, without needing to plot against him.
Feeling the pure Thunder Power contained within the Thunder God Essence, Sun Zhe's heart began to race. He could sense that the spiritual energy within this Thunder God Essence was at least ten times denser than his own, no, even a hundred times or more. Moreover, the intense aura of Thunder Law excited him even more.
Once he broke through to Holy Rank and entered Divine Realm, it would be a world dominated by Law. The deeper one comprehended Law, the stronger their power would be. If one could reach mastery in Law, they could even ascend to the supreme Realm of the Ancestor Deity.
Initially, Sun Zhe had imagined that he could achieve mastery in Law through devouring others' powers. However, he later realized that this method was simply unfeasible. It wasn't that he couldn't devour others' Law powers; rather, there was too little that could be transformed for his own use after devouring them. Those who comprehended Law were already extremely difficult to kill, and where would he find so many Laws to devour? Perhaps if he could consume all the Law comprehensions from the strong across the Nine Continents, there might be some hope, but that was clearly impossible.
However, this Thunder God Essence contained an astonishing aura of Law. This was not a Law that required devouring; instead, it was refined from the Law comprehended by the Thunder God after being reduced several times through a great Divine Technique, allowing Sun Zhe to fully merge with it. This was a secret method of inheritance, one that would allow Sun Zhe to take a significant step forward on the Thunder Path.
Having lived several lives, Sun Zhe's perspective was naturally not what it used to be. Yet now, seeing this Thunder God Essence still made him feel somewhat excited.
Indeed, obtaining this Thunder God Essence had not been easy for Sun Zhe. Competing for it in the Thunder Abyss nearly cost him his life at its hands. He also came close to falling during his battle with the Ancestral God Corpse. If it weren't for having obtained a Reanimation Technique earlier and having countless materials from Martial Law that coincidentally included Blade Domain, he wouldn't have been able to forge the Sword Corpse Guard and pass through those three mountains so easily. Climbing up to the Thunder God Altar here had also taken everything he had; it truly was a result achieved through nine trials!
Taking a deep breath, Sun Zhe suppressed his excitement and slowly approached the Thunder God Essence. He raised his right hand and gently reached out. At that moment, Sun Zhe seemed to enter a strange world where all thoughts vanished in an instant, replaced only by an indescribable feeling of unity.
As his hand reached out and touched the Thunder God Essence, the purple Thunder God Essence immediately erupted with an incredibly brilliant and blinding light. In an instant, Sun Zhe was enveloped by the surging Thunder Power and transformed into a massive Purple Light Cocoon surrounded by countless roaming bolts of lightning.
As the cocoon formed, an extraordinarily peculiar force isolated the entire area in an instant. This force could not be exerted by any Supreme Combat Body; even a Pinnacle of Divine Realm would find it impossible because it transcended the realm of Law.
"My old friend, after guarding you for so many years, I am tired as well. I must return to my clan to handle some matters. With this fellow inheriting your will, you can rest in peace now."
With a soft sigh, the aged Unicorn Divine Beast stepped toward the altar's edge. The peculiar binding force of Void seemed to have no effect on it at all; it did not hinder its movement in the slightest. Its four hooves lightly trod as if walking on flat ground.
As the inheritance of Sun Zhe and the emergence of the Ancient Unicorn Divine Beast began, the ancient altar slowly cracked open. Countless fissures spread across the altar, and with a thunderous roar, the Thunder God Altar, which had existed for an unknown number of years, shattered apart. A terrifying wave of energy surged outward.
After the destruction of the Thunder God Altar, only a massive Purple Lightning Sphere remained suspended in the Void. However, that Purple Light Sphere emanated a terrifying aura. Inside the sphere, Sun Zhe fell into a deep slumber, completely unaware of everything happening outside, yet the overwhelming pressure radiated to every corner of the Endless Abyss.
Looking back one last time, a hint of nostalgia welled up in the eyes of the Ancient Unicorn Divine Beast. It did not know how many years this altar had stood nor how long it had guarded this place, but now it was time to leave.
With a step forward from its front hooves, it truly stepped onto the void, creating a black fissure several meters wide. A gale howled from within the black hole, enveloping it in an instant, and its figure vanished into the Endless Abyss.
"What... what is going on? Old Nie, do you know what this is all about?"
Standing halfway up the mountain and watching the sudden collapse of the Thunder God Altar and the disappearance of the Ancient Unicorn Divine Beast in mid-air, Martial Law spoke to Nie Yuan in confusion. He felt his mind struggling to comprehend what was happening; everything before him was beyond his expectations.
Taking a long breath to release his anxiety, Nie Yuan could hardly hide his excitement on his face, as if he were happier than when he entered the Divine Realm. He murmured to himself,
"If I'm not mistaken, Sword Sovereign has likely encountered an unprecedented opportunity!"
