The Celestial Thunder surged, and Lin Yun’s consciousness began to fade. His body felt as if it were sinking endlessly. At that mont, Lin Yun thought he was truly about to die.
However, just as Lin Yun thought he had died, his once-empty Dantian was suddenly and completely refilled with Elental Power.
With Elental Power, the War God Technique and Demon Emperor Technique began circulating simultaneously. The wounds covering his body healed at a rate visible to the naked eye, and his consciousness slowly returned.
’I’m actually not dead...’ As his body continued to nd, a wave of joy washed over Lin Yun. At the sa ti, he was astonished by his body’s Recovery Power.
’Surviving a great calamity is sure to bring good fortune. It’s really true.’ Leaving aside everything else, his current Recovery Power alone was enough to astound him. ’With such an absurdly powerful recovery ability,’ he thought, ’I could win any battle of attrition just by wearing my enemies down.’
Lin Yun sat cross-legged and focused on healing. As his wounds nded, the black, dead skin on his body began to flake away, revealing lean, well-defined muscles underneath.
His skin was fair and smooth, his muscles sleek and powerful. He felt as if a ferocious beast resided within him. Lin Yun could hardly believe it was his own body. It was no exaggeration to say this physical form was at least ten tis stronger than his old one.
"Heh, not bad. You’ve passed all the trials. You’re the first person to do so in thousands of years." The old man had appeared out of nowhere in front of Lin Yun, speaking with a light chuckle.
Hearing the old man’s voice, Lin Yun opened his eyes. In the next mont, however, he flushed with embarrassnt. His clothes had long since been blasted to shreds by the Celestial Thunder.
And now, here he was, stark naked in front of a man in his seventies or eighties. His face beet-red, Lin Yun covered his private parts with his hands and said shyly, "Sir, could you please give a set of clothes?"
The mont the words left his mouth, Lin Yun felt like an idiot. ’Did the Celestial Thunder blast my brain?’ he wondered. ’This old man is an Array Spirit. How could he possibly have clothes for ?’
Sure enough, the old man smiled at Lin Yun’s words. "I am rely an Array Spirit. I have no clothes for you. But you needn’t be so shy. This old man has no interest in you."
Hearing this, the corner of Lin Yun’s mouth twitched. He cursed inwardly, ’Of course you’re not interested in . It’d be a real disaster if you were!’
Shaking it off, Lin Yun walked over, picked up the Overlord Spear from the ground, and slung it onto his back. With a look of excitent, he asked, "Sir, didn’t you say I passed all the trials? So, where’s the inheritance?"
He had been forced into what he thought was a death trap and had narrowly escaped with his life. Now that it was finally ti to reap the rewards, how could Lin Yun not be excited?
But upon hearing Lin Yun’s question, the old man looked confused. "Inheritance? What inheritance?"
At the old man’s words, Lin Yun felt his world crumble. ’No inheritance? Then why the hell did you set up a death trap here?’ He desperately wanted to start screaming curses.
Taking a deep breath, Lin Yun struggled to calm his spiraling fury and asked the old man, "Sir, you can’t be joking with . This is supposed to be the death trap of the Thunder God Hall. I barely survived completing all your trials. Is there really no inheritance at all?"
"Death trap? Who told you this was a death trap? I recall telling you when you first entered that this is rely a Spatial Array," the old man replied, genuinely confused. He had no idea what Lin Yun was talking about.
Lin Yun wanted to cry but had no tears left. He felt like dying. He’d been forced into this supposed death trap for no reason, and in the end, it was all for nothing. He got absolutely nothing.
"This damn Thunder God Hall! And they call themselves an Ancient Sect! They set up a Spatial Array, I barely survived it, and I don’t even get a single thing out of it? Fuck!" Lin Yun cursed furiously. In his mind, he had already cursed the Thunder God Hall’s Hall Master a hundred tis over.
Seeing Lin Yun’s dejected expression, the old man maintained his faint smile and said unhurriedly, "I have never heard of any inheritance. But as for benefits, have you not already received them? And a trendous benefit at that."
"I have? You’re not going to tell that getting struck half to death by Celestial Thunder was the ’benefit,’ are you?" Lin Yun asked absentmindedly.
The frustrated Lin Yun hadn’t yet realized just how much his body had changed. He also hadn’t noticed the Celestial Thunder Mark on his back—sothing he never had before, likely a remnant of the Celestial Thunder Tempering Body process.
"Young man, take a mont to examine your own body. Then you will understand how great your reward truly is," the old man said with a smile.
Hearing this, Lin Yun paused. He cald himself and carefully inspected the state of his body. A mont later, the expression on his face went beyond re shock. It was too powerful.
The ridians within his body were at least ten tis more resilient. The circulation speed of his Demon Emperor Technique and War God Technique was also ten tis faster. This ant that Lin Yun’s future cultivation speed would be ten tis greater than it was before.
What did that even an? After breaking through to the Opening Realm, Lin Yun’s cultivation speed was already more than ten tis that of an ordinary person. Now, to have it increase by another ten tis... wouldn’t that make his cultivation speed dozens of tis faster than a normal person’s?
And that wasn’t all. After the Celestial Thunder Tempering Body, his muscles, bones, and internal organs had all beco incredibly resilient. The strength of his physical body was now ten tis greater than before.
"This..." Lin Yun was too stunned to speak. ’This is insane!’ he thought. He was certain that with this body, even without using any Elental Power, he could kill a Martial Artist at the Fourth Layer of the Opening Realm with a single punch.
"Young man, do you see now? Your benefits are quite substantial," the old man said with a faint smile, looking at Lin Yun’s astonished expression.
Hearing this, Lin Yun felt a little sheepish. He had been too hasty just now and hadn’t taken the ti to sense the changes in his body.
"Thank you, Sir. I was rude earlier," Lin Yun said, offering the old man a respectful bow in apology.
The old man waved his hand, showing that he didn’t mind at all. He then began to tell Lin Yun what he knew.
It turned out that the "death trap" never existed. This place was rely a Spatial Array. However, this particular Spatial Array was unique—it was both an Array and a Cultivation Technique.
The destruction of the Thunder God Hall was, in fact, because of this very Spatial Array.
"The Flawless Flesh Body. That is the physical Cultivation Technique hidden within this Spatial Array. It was passed down from the Flawless Palace..."
The old man spoke unhurriedly, but when Lin Yun heard the na "Flawless Palace," his heart skipped a beat. The Flawless Palace was one of the most powerful forces in the entire Eastern Domain. Rumor had it that its legacy was ancient, and at its peak, no Sect or power in the Eastern Domain of the Celestial Spirit Continent could compare to it.
The Eastern Domain... Lin Yun had no idea just how vast it was, but in the Southeast Domain alone, there were dozens, even hundreds, of countries and Sects like Yanhuang Country.
And the Southeast Domain was just a small corner of the entire Eastern Domain—and a remote one at that. This showed just how imnse the Eastern Domain truly was. To be one of the most powerful forces there... the might of the Flawless Palace was clearly terrifying.
