"Attack!" Su Yuan shouted loudly, charging resolutely toward Lei Mang. Within moments, the two clashed hundreds of times, sword light and thunder hammer intertwining, emitting sharp, piercing screeches. On Su Yuan’s body, dozens of tiny wounds appeared, but under the starlight, they gradually healed. The starlight was filled with abundant vitality, enough to sustain Su Yuan’s continuous fighting. On the other hand, Lei Mang’s body looked completely unscathed! “Such a tough physique, such strong regeneration!” Su Yuan thought to himself. “Damn it, how do I get out of this place?” Lei Mang kept searching for a way to escape, but it was not easy to find an exit within the spiritual treasure cave. This kind of spiritual treasure was incredibly strong in trapping and suppressing enemies, but the difficulty lay in luring someone inside. Lei Mang had been too careless, which led to his passive situation now. With no other choice, Lei Mang could only continue fighting Su Yuan. Su Yuan kept attacking Lei Mang, his use of divine powers becoming increasingly skilled, and his body movements more agile with each maneuver. His wounds gradually decreased as well. Lei Mang quickly realized the problem: the human’s combat experience was extremely raw, as if he had never truly fought before. Now, however, the opponent’s experience was steadily improving. The frequent sword strikes landing on his body caused him considerable trouble. Anxiety grew in Lei Mang’s heart. Meanwhile, Su Yuan’s expression grew more and more relaxed. The two fought continuously within the Floating Sky Pot for several days and nights. Su Yuan took a breath, stepped back slightly, and his expression turned contemplative. [Work-Rest Balance] activated! [Time Corridor] activated! In an instant, the battles of the past several days replayed rapidly within his soul. Su Yuan swiftly absorbed and enhanced his combat experience and learned to master Lei Mang’s divine power techniques one by one. “I see now!” Su Yuan revealed a look of sudden realization. The fundamental principle is the law, and divine power is the application. His comprehension of the laws was sufficient. Through the opponent’s continuous sparring, Su Yuan had become extremely proficient in using divine powers. He struck again with his sword. This time, the sword move was extremely concise—no longer the Seven Swords Shining Together, nor did it invoke any heavenly phenomena. Instead, it combined the seven swords into one, seemingly plain but piercing directly toward Lei Mang. Lei Mang sensed the danger of the sword light and hurriedly retreated. But the sword light flickered across a distance in an instant, striking Lei Mang directly and leaving a more obvious wound on his body. “Thunder Teleportation? When did you learn my Thunder Teleportation, and integrate it into your divine power attacks!” Lei Mang’s face was full of disbelief. Su Yuan naturally would not explain anything to his enemy. He struck several more times. The Seven Stars Five Elements Thunder Sword technique continuously landed on Lei Mang, sometimes leaving scorch-like wounds, sometimes corrosive wounds caused by the Five Elements law. The damage from the Thunder Law was comparatively subtle and caused little harm to Lei Mang. Lei Mang’s resistance to thunder was too high. Su Yuan’s strongest Thunder Law caused less damage than the newly learned Five Elements law. Enraged, Lei Mang flickered and crossed a distance to appear beside Su Yuan. However, Su Yuan also flickered, teleporting aside with Thunder Teleportation, then slashed back with a sword, cutting Lei Mang. Lei Mang fell into a highly passive situation. After several attempts, Lei Mang realized he had no chance of winning against this human! Under the spiritual treasure’s suppression, he could only endure the attacks! Trying to escape now was extremely unlikely! He recalled the spatial crack accidentally torn during their previous fight. The lower realm’s space was fragile. If he could unleash his full power again to tear a spatial crack, he could break the spiritual treasure’s confinement and escape! With this thought, Lei Mang acted swiftly. The Thunder Source Core inside him erupted with tremendous energy, all converging onto the Thunder Giant Hammer in his hand! Su Yuan’s expression tightened, ready to dodge at any moment. Lei Mang gathered a thunderbolt containing the power of the Law of Destruction but did not strike Su Yuan. Instead, he smashed it fiercely into the space above. “Crack!” Inside the spatial spiritual treasure, a spatial crack was suddenly torn open. Terrifying spatial destruction power instantly engulfed the surroundings! 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶 Lei Mang took the brunt of it first. His body uncontrollably was dragged toward the spatial crack. “No!” terror filled Lei Mang’s face. The spatial tearing force erupted instantly. Under the merciless destruction of the spatial crack, Lei Mang’s body was shredded into pieces in an instant! A Thunder Source Core was swept into the spatial crack, immediately showing dozens of cracks on its surface. A large amount of thunder power spilled out, and Lei Mang’s aura weakened sharply. Lei Mang’s soul energy also grew extremely faint, like a candle flame flickering in the wind, ready to be extinguished at any moment. Fortunately, the spatial crack disappeared;otherwise, the entire Thunder Source Core would have been swallowed. Lei Mang’s soul body hurriedly began repairing the cracks in the Thunder Source Core. The core barely recovered to a complete state, but was still covered with fractures. Lei Mang’s soul body, drained from repairing the core, fell into a deep slumber. Before falling asleep, Lei Mang had only one thought: “It’s over!” Su Yuan stared blankly at the severely injured enemy who instantly fell into a sleeping state, dumbfounded! He suspected a trick, but Lei Mang’s shredded body did not seem to suggest any deceit. He even sensed that the opponent had truly lost consciousness. Su Yuan fell silent. With a wave of his hand, the Floating Light Pot’s suppressive power sealed Lei Mang’s Thunder Source Core. One restriction after another easily settled upon the core, sealing its power inside. The entire space offered no resistance to Su Yuan. With a single move, the Thunder Source Core fell into his hands. Inside was a faint soul body, sleeping quietly. Su Yuan had captured a Foundation Establishment stage powerhouse alive! Old Qian appeared, looking at Lei Mang who was now sealed and asked blankly, “Is that it?” Su Yuan smiled bitterly, “Exactly. I was prepared for a long fight;his physique was too tough and his regeneration strong. I couldn’t finish him quickly, but...” He found it hard to explain briefly, “He suddenly got a wild idea, thinking that tearing a spatial crack would open a spatial channel! But he didn’t expect the crack’s power to be so exaggerated that it crippled himself instantly!” Old Qian scoffed, “Doesn’t he know how terrifying spatial cracks are?” Su Yuan shook his head, “He probably doesn’t. In his world, space isn’t so easily broken.” Old Qian was stunned, “You know where he’s from?” Su Yuan shook his head, “Not sure, probably from the Immortal Realm.” Old Qian’s expression tightened, “The Immortal Realm again?” Su Yuan raised an eyebrow, “What do you mean?” Old Qian sighed, “That great war from long ago is a bit fuzzy in my memory, but I know the enemies we faced seemed to be messengers from the higher realms. Those messengers wanted to exterminate the cultivation world, and cultivators had to unite and fight to the death!” Su Yuan’s face grew solemn, “Did you win?” “No idea, but probably not good. The strongest now can only reach Foundation Establishment stage, but back then there were those who reached the Great Ascension stage!” Old Qian warned seriously, “Su Yuan, be careful. Think about your retreat options. Those messengers’ power will surpass your imagination. These Foundation Establishment cultivators are just ordinary folk. Back then even those crossing tribulation to Great Ascension appeared!” Su Yuan nodded, “I know. I’ve prepared my fallback.” Old Qian’s expression relaxed, then his gaze involuntarily fell on the Thunder Giant Hammer on the ground. His eyes gleamed greedily, “Su Yuan, let me devour this hammer! If I refine it, my rank can recover to seventh tier!” Su Yuan’s expression changed, “No, this is a seventh-tier spiritual treasure. It would be a waste to let you devour it!” He looked at the shattered ice-blue stone body fragments, then at the Thunder Source Core in his hand. “I can try to refine a spiritual treasure from these materials since they’re all ready-made!” “Are you serious? You want to refine a seventh-tier creature into a treasure?” Old Qian was shocked, “Are you capable?” “Not now, but that doesn’t mean I never will! You’re not in a hurry to raise your rank anyway. Wait!” Su Yuan found a special stone block among the ice-blue fragments. When he sent his divine sense into it, he encountered strong resistance. Using the pressure of his Consolidation stage realm, he quickly dispelled the resistance. Inside the stone block was a small, stable pocket dimension, storing some items. Su Yuan scanned it and quickly took out three spiritual treasures. All three were hammers, ranked upper sixth tier, middle sixth tier, and lower sixth tier. Su Yuan threw them to Old Qian. “That’s enough for you to devour, right?” Su Yuan asked. “Enough, enough! Devouring these three sixth-tier treasures gives me a chance to recover to seventh tier!” Old Qian said excitedly. Su Yuan waved his hand and his gaze suddenly caught a special compass. “Hm? What’s this?” He fiddled with it, and after infusing spiritual power, the center of the compass lit up. A holographic image quickly appeared above it. It was the image of a Thunder Giant. “小 Mang, have you completed the clan chief’s task?” the Thunder Giant asked. Then it suddenly widened its eyes. “Who are you? Where is Lei Mang?” The Thunder Giant quickly noticed the Thunder Source Core in Su Yuan’s hand and immediately realized Lei Mang had failed the mission! “Damn it! How dare you harm a member of my Thunder Spirit Giant clan! You’re asking for death!” The Thunder Giant was filled with rage. Su Yuan snorted coldly, “If you dared come, be prepared to be wiped out!” “Such audacity! Just you wait!” The Thunder Giant roared furiously. At this moment, Su Yuan saw a thick thread of consciousness extending toward him. He stopped operating the compass. Then he activated [Mind Echo]. In the next moment, he arrived inside a stone mountain. This place was inhabited by many Thunder Giants. Thunderbolts often fell from the sky but were absorbed by the stones on the ground. Inside a stone building, a Thunder Giant tens of meters tall was furious. This was clearly the other Thunder Giant who had just “communicated” with Su Yuan across dimensions. Su Yuan’s consciousness shrank into a sphere, enveloping the Thunder Giant inside. When the Big Dipper’s starlight descended from the sky, enveloping Su Yuan’s consciousness, the enraged Thunder Giant suddenly sensed something was wrong. “World Traveler, activate!” In an instant, this consciousness completed a cross-world leap, appearing out of thin air above the Black Demon Realm’s imperial city. The Thunder Giant wrapped inside Su Yuan’s consciousness was also brought along by [World Traveler]. At this moment, the Thunder Giant was extremely confused, looking around as a group of demonic aura-wreathed figures rushed toward him from the sky, surrounding him completely. “Wait, what’s going on? Am I hallucinating?”
