Cultivation: I Have a Skill Level Panel

After his successful breakthrough, Gu Yun first took a moment to consolidate his cultivation. He then resumed practicing the Nine Tribulations Thunder Gang Decision, his body wreathed in crackling arcs of thunder.

In the dim cave, terrifying bolts of thunder flashed, filling the space with a dazzling light.

At the same time, outside the cave, dark clouds inexplicably gathered in the sky above the island. They roared like a galloping army of thousands as the heavy cloud layer covered the heavens, looking as if it were about to crush the world below.

Occasionally, a startling clap of thunder would resound through the sky. A bolt of lightning would tear across the horizon, its blinding glare illuminating heaven and earth. The accompanying boom roared across the island, its echo lingering endlessly.

From time to time, howling gales would sweep by, causing the leaves of the lush, towering ancient trees on the island to rustle.

Time slowly passed.

The dark clouds above the island churned like a marching army. Across the oppressive black sky, serpents of lightning flickered as a constant crackling filled the air. Every so often, a blinding flash would instantly illuminate the entire world.

’You have, through diligent cultivation of the Nine Tribulations Thunder Gang Decision, successfully overcome the Second Tribulation, the Purple Sky Tribulation, and awakened the Technique: Silent Extinction Thunder Gaze!’

Inside the cave, Gu Yun sat cross-legged, cultivating the Nine Tribulations Thunder Gang Decision as terrifying purple lightning flashed around him. At that moment, an astonishing surge of thunder power erupted from his body and shot toward the heavens.

The stone ceiling was instantly pierced and annihilated by the terrifying purple lightning. The blast continued upward into the clouds, forming a pillar of pure purple light that shot toward the firmament!

The dark clouds above the island instantly blasted open, revealing a massive hole. In that instant, countless bolts of lightning crackled and tore across the sky, transforming the area into a veritable Thunder Domain!

Gu Yun’s eyes snapped open. A flash of lightning flickered within them and vanished. In that same instant, a clap of thunder boomed through the cave, its force like a tidal wave causing the very air around him to vibrate.

Faint purple lightning swirled within Gu Yun’s ink-black pupils. An instant later, arcs of purple lightning flooded his eyes, completely covering them until they resembled a deep and terrifying sea of thunder.

Instantly, Gu Yun’s pupils began to emit a mysterious purple glow. His entire being was now suffused with an unsettling, mysterious, and dangerous aura.

’So this is the Technique I awakened from the Second Tribulation, the Silent Extinction Thunder Gaze? It’s so powerful!’

With a flicker, Gu Yun’s figure vanished, reappearing in the sky above the island in the next instant. The insight granted by his mysterious Silent Extinction Thunder Gaze was incredibly potent.

It granted him extremely powerful insight, allowing him to meticulously observe and predict an enemy’s attacks. It could also provide a degree of spiritual and mental defense.

Furthermore, it could be used offensively. The Silent Extinction Thunder Gaze could instantly summon destructive thunder, striking down enemies with overwhelming might.

’This is completely heaven-defying!’

Gu Yun couldn’t help but marvel. After passing the tribulation for his Nine Tribulations Thunder Gang Decision, his Thunder True Essence seemed to have undergone a complete metamorphosis. The might of his Thunder Power had multiplied.

’With my current strength,’ he thought, ’I could easily obliterate Gu Yuan within a few moves!’

With a single thought, the Heaven Rewards Diligence Skill Level panel, which he hadn’t seen in a long time, appeared before his mind’s eye.

’It’s about time I left!’

The moment he spoke,

Gu Yun’s figure flashed. He transformed into a streak of lightning that flickered across the sky, speeding toward the distant horizon.

...

「Several days later.」

Gu Yun had visited Haimen Island and Silver Beach Island in the Purple Bright Sea Region, but he found no sign of any Sea Beast Demon Fiends.

Now, Gu Yun sped toward Huangyan Island and Jingtai Island, the last locations that fit the profile of the Sea Beast Demon Fiend’s hunting grounds.

The weather over this stretch of sea was truly unpredictable.

One moment, the sun would be high in the sky, the weather clear and bright.

The sea would be calm and undisturbed, its surface as smooth as a mirror, reflecting the white clouds above. It was as if nothing existed but the azure sky and its reflection.

Then, a moment later, a fierce gust would sweep through, and the sea would begin to churn with rolling waves and massive swells.

Now, however, in the stretch of sea Gu Yun was currently crossing, the sky was thick with dark clouds. A storm raged across the world, and the ocean swelled with beast-like, tsunami-level force.

The crashing waves were caught by the furious storm and flung back into the air, forming massive waterspouts that spun rapidly in the sky, carrying tons of seawater.

Above the dark clouds, peals of thunder that seemed to shake the very world would occasionally roar, tearing the sky with dazzling flashes of lightning.

The terrifying scene in this stretch of the sea was like a cataclysm, enough to make any observer tremble in fear.

Any ordinary merchant ship passing through here would have been torn apart by the storm and dragged down into the abyssal depths.

Suddenly,

A Sea Beast hundreds of zhang long erupted from the surface. It looked like a gigantic, octopus-like creature.

The creature gathered its strength, and several monstrous tentacles shot up from beneath the waves in a sudden attack. The massive appendages tore through the air, whistling as they broke the sound barrier, lashing out at the figure speeding high above.

But unfortunately for the beast,

before its massive tentacles could even get close, several dazzling flashes of blade light flared between heaven and earth. Like falling meteors, the sharp rays of light tore through space itself.

Accompanied by an overwhelming Wind and Thunder Blade Momentum, the attack tore through the sky like a divine Thunder Punishment. Wielding a peerlessly sharp Sword Momentum that could slice through anything, the flashes of light instantly severed the beast’s terrifying tentacles. The horrifying aftershocks of the Sword Momentum lingered on the severed limbs, continuously ravaging them with sharp Sword Qi.

"ROAR!"

At the beast’s pained and furious roar, the sea instantly began to heave like a rolling mountain range. A moment later, a colossal pillar of seawater rushed toward the sky.

A wall of water nearly a thousand zhang high blotted out the sky as it crashed down toward Gu Yun. The sheer force behind it seemed great enough to capsize continents and shatter mountains.

The dark clouds massed like an army in black battle armor, their heavy forms seeming to press down upon the boundless sea. The storm raged, churning up countless giant waves.

Gu Yun hovered in the air, his expression placid. He watched the cataclysmic wave—a wall of water with the power to shatter mountains—crash down upon him as if it were nothing at all.
