Eternal Life Begins with Learning

Chapter 445: Chapter 411: Celestial Thunder Refining Golden Pill, 3 Pill Patterns Formed

In this Demon Realm, sun and moon were never seen, making day and night indistinguishable.

The very concept of time had become a blur.

Within the Demon City, countless Demon Puppets remained, like timeless statues standing for eternity.

Even after tens of thousands of years, they still loyally carried out their mission.

In the deathly silent Demon City, only this central grand hall held any trace of life.

Since entering the hall, the True Demon had been seated cross-legged before the Heart of the Demon Realm, seemingly immersed in the peerless treasure that could control this entire world.

Xu Ning and Li Xiu sat cross-legged to one side of the hall, completely shrouded by the surging Demonic Qi.

The youth was seated below the high platform, also cultivating with his eyes closed, wreathed in Demonic Qi.

In the inner reaches of the hall, sealed off by an Array Prohibition, an aura surged around Chu Mu. His very Essence, Qi, and Spirit were imperceptibly and slowly metamorphosing to a higher state.

To Chu Mu, this felt less like a simple transformation and more like a metamorphosis of his very life essence.

With the firsthand experience provided by the Core Formation Manual from Yun Xiao Trading House, combined with the heaven-defying effects of the Spiritual Radiance Blessing, the process was going so smoothly that it even surpassed Chu Mu’s own expectations.

Everything proceeded in an orderly fashion. Even the slightest misstep was inconsequential, easily corrected with the support of numerous spiritual objects and elixirs.

As things continued in this orderly manner, time flew by imperceptibly in this sunless, moonless Demon Realm.

One day, two days...

One month, two months...

One year, two years...

Then one day, in the third year, roiling dark clouds suddenly churned across the deathly silent Demon City. Lightning flashed and thunder roared. The already dim sky grew even darker, as if judgment day had arrived, plunging the world into darkness!

At the same instant, inside the isolated Array Prohibition, the hundreds of thousands of remaining Spirit Stones all shattered and disintegrated.

In the blink of an eye, the immense Spiritual Qi released from the shattered Spirit Stones formed a massive vortex around Chu Mu. An endless torrent of Spiritual Qi, like a celestial river pouring from the heavens, surged into his body.

Startled by this phenomenon, the statue-like Demon Puppets standing throughout the Demon City all opened their eyes in unison. Their scarlet gazes converged on the towering grand hall at the city’s center.

THUMP THUMP THUMP...

The next moment, the sound of urgent footsteps echoed throughout the ruined Demon City. From every direction, they converged on the central grand hall like a great army mustering for battle.

The commotion in the hall seemed to rouse the True Demon from his meditation on the Heart of the Demon Realm. He looked up at the roiling thunderclouds in the sky, a hint of surprise on his face.

The others cultivating in the hall were also startled awake by the disturbance. Seeing the strange phenomenon and sensing the clamor outside, their faces paled, and they instinctively turned to look at the True Demon.

"This hall was once the palace of the Master of the Demon Realm. No member of the Demon Race may enter without a summons."

"The Demon Puppets are unthinking things that rigidly adhere to the rules. You need not worry."

The True Demon spoke slowly, his gaze fixed on the roiling thunderclouds, the surprise in his eyes intensifying.

’A Thunder Tribulation from the heavens... a Patterned Golden Core... He might even reach the Nascent Soul realm. This boy... what a pity...’

The True Demon murmured, a hint of regret in his voice. But the feeling vanished as quickly as it came, replaced once more by his usual placid indifference.

The Spiritual Qi vortex continued to churn. The massive deluge of Spiritual Qi, like a celestial river pouring down, vanished as if into a bottomless pit.

Only Chu Mu’s cultivation aura, fed by this near-constant infusion of Spiritual Qi, was undergoing a rapid, transformative leap.

Amidst this transformation, a faint golden glow began to manifest within his Dantian.

As the golden glow intensified, the thunderclouds in the sky condensed further. Dark clouds roiled with flashing lightning and roaring thunder. The magnificent heavenly might grew so intense that the several Foundation Establishment Cultivators in the hall were forced to retreat far back under its immense pressure.

Even the True Demon, seemingly wary of the Thunder Tribulation’s power, leaped down from the high platform and moved to a safe distance.

Time wore on. The thunderclouds grew more immense, and the heavenly might became ever more terrifying. Even the ambient pressure radiating from it was enough to overwhelm the Foundation Establishment Cultivators in the hall, who could only remain standing by relying on the True Demon’s protection.

Even so, their faces were ashen, and they no longer dared to look directly at the thunderclouds.

Within the Array Prohibition, the swirling vortex of Spiritual Qi now blazed with a dazzling golden light. At its core, a solid gold Golden Core, wreathed in crimson flames, was beginning to take shape.

It was then that Chu Mu, after years in seclusion, slowly opened his eyes.

The Spiritual Radiance Charm still lingered in his eyes. He gazed up at the heavens, watching the churning tribulation clouds. In that moment, as if by divine revelation, he came to an inexplicable understanding.

’The tribulation clouds are here to refine the core!’

’...And what’s being refined is my newly formed Immortal Golden Core!’

’This is a tribulation, but it’s also an opportunity!’

BOOM!

He leaped into the air, hovering in the sky. As he made a grasping motion with his hand, his newly transformed True Flame Sword Intent blazed into existence!

A Flaming Blade took form, radiating a sharpness that seemed capable of destroying anything.

His green robes fluttered in the wind as he pointed his blade at the heavens... ready to shatter the Thunder Tribulation!

BOOM!

As if enraged by Chu Mu’s defiant act, the thunderclouds churned, growing so dark it seemed they might drip ink.

Amidst a deafening series of rumbles, an immense pressure descended, blanketing Chu Mu from all sides. The flame on his blade flickered, seeming to struggle against the overwhelming heavenly might!

BOOM!

A flash of light—and a bolt of faint purple Celestial Thunder struck down with a speed that left no time to react!

"Break!"

Chu Mu roared, thrusting his blade high. The crimson flame streaked across the sky like a falling meteor to collide with the bolt of Tribulation Thunder!

KA-BOOM!

It was a world-shaking collision. Although the Tribulation Thunder was annihilated, its terrifying Tribulation Thunder Power, like maggots burrowing into bone, surged down the length of the blade. It poured into Chu Mu’s body unopposed, tearing at every inch of his flesh.
