Chapter 287. Deduce Supernatural Powers, Dual Polarity Divine Thunder (Cultivation Art)
This wealth was enough to make many Golden Core, Early Stage (Cultivation Realm) cultivators green with envy, as most practitioners at this realm typically possessed only 2 or 3 fourth-tier magical treasures at best.
Those Golden Core cultivators who had recently broken through might only possess 1 or 2 fourth-order magic treasures in their hands.
After consuming the Creation Green Essence Pill (Spiritual Object), my spiritual power has reached nearly 60% of a Golden Core cultivator's capacity. Once I attain 80% mastery in the Purple Mansion realm in a few years, I should approach 70% of a Golden Core cultivator's potency.
"With 3 Class 4 bonded magic treasures honing my spiritual power, the purity of my mana has become truly extraordinary."
"Overall, I am now on par with a Golden Core, Early Stage (Cultivation Realm) demon beast."
Eldrin assessed his own combat prowess. Though it still fell short of Lyra's strength before her Golden Core breakthrough, the gap had narrowed considerably.
Back then, Lyra, at the Great Perfection stage of the Violet Mansion, forcefully suppressed the Celestial Python Demon King who was at the second level of the Golden Core.
By that calculation, by the time he broke through to the 8th layer of the Zi Palace, he should possess at least Golden Core 1st-level strength during the Beast Tide.
The only significant disparity was that Lyra had mastered the Divine Light of the 5 Void Tribulations (Cultivation Art).
The Divine Light of the 5 Void Tribulations (Cultivation Art) is a supreme great supernatural power, and moreover serves as the foundational art for the peerless divine ability known as the '5 Elements Tribulation Light'.
However, the cultivation requirements for this divine ability were far too domineering. First, 1 needed at least Purple Palace, Late Stage (Cultivation Realm) cultivation just to meet the preliminary threshold.
Secondly, to refine it successfully, 1 must refrain from using any supernatural abilities for a full 60-year cycle, or the process would fail midway.
For Eldrin (Person Name), the beast tide was imminent. Cultivating this divine ability at such a critical moment was truly an unfavorable bargain.
"I possess the combined might of the Heavenly Separation Twin Swords. When it comes to trump cards, they are in no way inferior to the Divine Light of the 5 Void Tribulations (Cultivation Art)."
"Now is the time to settle my mind, thoroughly comprehend this cultivation method, and deduce my own path."
Eldrin (Person Name) pondered inwardly, settling his mind to begin deducing his own cultivation technique.
The days gradually settled into tranquility. Each day, he would drink tea, read books, and study ancient texts by the Spirit Lake Isle.
He then began to assimilate the essence of his predecessors’ insights, systematically refining his own cultivation techniques and divine abilities.
Half a year passed in the blink of an eye.
It is done.
Eldrin murmured to himself, "Today I have thoroughly comprehended the Profound Water Divine Thunder and successfully mastered the Profound Water Divine Thunder technique."
"Wrong."
Having just mastered the Divine Water Thunder technique, he suddenly felt a strange resonance, falling into an inexplicable state of harmony.
Suddenly, an abrupt transformation erupted within him. A thunderous roar echoed from his very core—it was the other 4 elemental divine thunders of the 5 Phases reacting violently inside his body.
Behold, 5 divine Dao patterns shimmered with light, then actually sank into his 5 viscera. They resonated within him, producing peals of thunderous roars.
The divine thunder array patterns of Geng Metal, Bing Fire, Wu Earth, Jia Wood, and Ren Water erupted in dazzling radiance, as a powerful resonance surged through his entire being.
In the blink of an eye, the 5 divine thunderbolts interacted through mutual generation and restraint, forming an extraordinary grand cycle. This not only amplified the potency of each thunderbolt by 50 percent but also reduced mana consumption by half.
After the surge in power, the 5 divine thunderbolts had reached the pinnacle among ordinary supernatural abilities, even verging on the realm of major supernatural abilities.
And it did not end there. These 5 divine thunder runes also radiated 5 distinct strands of subtle lightning force, continuously tempering his physical body.
The Gengjin Divine Thunder enhances the body's strength and sharpness, while the Wutu Divine Thunder fortifies 1's inner resilience and endurance.
The First-Wood Divine Thunder (Cultivation Art) intensified the vitality within his body, mending hidden injuries, while the Ren Water Divine Thunder cleansed impurities and purified his physical form.
The final Binghuo Divine Thunder used the body as a crucible, continuously tempering the internal organs and enhancing the physical form's resilience.
These 5 divine thunders formed a grand cycle of the 5 Elements, tempering his physical body day and night, allowing it to grow perpetually stronger.
The Great Cycle of the 5 Elements.
5 Thunders Body Forging Art.
"No wonder the Great 5 Elements Pure Yang Divine Thunder is hailed as the supreme divine ability."
Eldrin sensed the 5 divine technique runes within his body and couldn't help but reveal a look of astonishment.
He never imagined that after cultivating the 5 Thunder Divine Art together, the power of all 5 Pure Yang Divine Thunders would surge dramatically, even approaching the realm of a Grand Divine Art.
Meanwhile, within the cycle of 5 divine thunders, a body-refining technique was automatically evolving—the 5 Thunders Body Tempering Art.
The 5 Thunders Body Tempering Art had already formed a grand internal cycle, continuously enhancing the cultivator's physical form. As the cultivator's mastery over the 5 divine thunders deepened, the tempering effects would grow increasingly potent. It could be said this was the most supreme body refinement technique.
"Alas, to master all 5 types of Pure Yang Divine Thunder simultaneously, 1 must possess the 5 Spiritual Roots."
However, cultivating with a 5 Spirit Root is inherently fraught with countless difficulties. Even reaching the Foundation Establishment stage is an immensely arduous task, so comprehending all 5 divine thunders is nothing short of a pipe dream.
"No wonder the Great 5 Elements Pure Yang Divine Thunder, a divine ability of this echelon, has not emerged in the world for tens of thousands of years."
Eldrin (Person Name) murmured inwardly, suppressing the thought once more.
往后这五行神雷威力大增，对法力的消耗也降低不少，这将会成为他最好用的常规手段。天才一秒钟就记住：(72文学 想到这里他有欣喜不已，他的法力本就极其强大，神识也借助炎狱火海观想陨日岭补足。
Now, with the acquisition of the 5 Thunders Body Refining Art—a supreme physical cultivation technique that operates automatically—his essence, energy, and spirit will all reach astonishing heights. In the future, his chances of breaking through to the Golden Core stage would likely be 80 to 90 percent.
In the unseen currents of fate, Eldrin followed his intuition, attempting to further comprehend the power of the 5 divine thunders.
Drawing inspiration from the principles of the Heaven-Sundering Twin Swords, he merged the Li Fire and Ren Water divine thunders, seeking to uncover the resonance between them.
As he continued to meditate and deepened his comprehension of the 5 Divine Thunders, he ultimately achieved an astonishing level of understanding of the Dao patterns of 2 of these divine thunders.
After 7 continuous months of profound comprehension, he finally merged with this divine thunder, creating an entirely new divine thunder technique.
"Fire and Water merge as 1, Yin and Yang unite in harmony, thus begins the path of..."
“Dual Polarity Divine Thunder (Cultivation Art)。”
On this day, Eldrin suddenly opened his eyes, transforming into a streak of sword light that soared into the heavens, vanishing into the boundless sky above.
After flying for what felt like thousands of miles, he finally came to a halt.
He stood atop the 9 Heavens Above (Time & Distance), his eyes suddenly blooming with divine light in the hues of yin and yang.
In an instant, the divine thunder of Bing Fire and Ren Water merged within him, transforming into intertwined crimson and azure light. Following the trajectory of his pointed finger, it shot forth with unparalleled sharpness.
Boom—
A deafening roar erupted, shaking the heavens and earth as the balance of Yin and Yang reversed.
All things seemed to be overturned beneath this divine thunder. The terrifying fusion of Ren Water and Bing Fire Divine Thunder collided and ultimately erupted into a force akin to the primordial separation of heaven and earth, blasting a void of nothingness across a 100-mile radius.
This strike was far too astonishing. Had it crashed down upon the earth, it would have likely shattered a 100-mile stretch of mountains and rivers into ruins. Even a Golden Core cultivator facing such a technique would undoubtedly suffer unprecedented devastation.
"Hiss—"
Eldrin's magical power was severely depleted. His face pale, he drew a sharp breath, astonished that the divine ability he had comprehended was so overwhelmingly formidable.
Although this Dual Polarity Divine Thunder (Cultivation Art) was newly conceived, it had already half-stepped into the realm of grand divine abilities. Amplified by the great cycle of 5 Elements Divine Thunder, it now stood at the threshold of grand divine powers.
