Chapter 610: Yuan Shen World

Current website name: Mu Bi Ge

"Thunderbolt Rule." The moment Meng Chuan fully grasped it, he felt a change within himself.

Whether in the living world or the outer void, lightning is one of the most fundamental forces.

Thunder exists everywhere in normal space.

In the past, he could control very little of it. But now, with the Thunderbolt Rule fully mastered, a mere fraction of his power can leverage more than a hundred times the thunderous might he once commanded. Every gesture, every movement, carried world-shattering power. Smashing a sun star with a flick of his hand would be effortlessly done.

"Through thunder, my sensory range is far wider than before." Meng Chuan gazed into the distance.

Meng Chuan transformed into a bolt of lightning. The 'lightning' formed by particle streams streaked through spatial rifts, and in a flash, he had reached a void billions of miles away.

He didn't deliberately stop time; it was merely normal flight and movement.

"Billions of miles in a single flash?" Meng Chuan was somewhat astonished. "The methods of Six-Tribulation Realm grand powerful beings are unfathomable, and those who master thunder are particularly renowned for their speed. I am indeed getting faster and faster."

Thunder embodies the profound mysteries of both time and space.

A bolt of lightning travels through time and space, swift and unpredictable.

It can change direction as it pleases. One moment it's moving at full speed forward, the next, the lightning can reach its maximum speed in reverse. Even among Six-Tribulation Realm rules, the Thunderbolt Rule is top-tier in terms of speed and variability.

Of course, different Six-Tribulation Realm rules each have their own strengths.

"Crackle! Pop!" Meng Chuan, existing in his 'particle stream' lightning form, continuously traveled through spatial rifts.

"My current state is also very special." Meng Chuan sensed his own body, which had completely atomized, forming a true bolt of lightning.

Lightning is formless.

Drawing a knife to cut water only makes it flow more! If one were to draw a knife to cut lightning, it would similarly be difficult to harm it in the slightest. While Meng Chuan's 'lightning form' at this moment wasn't an immortal body, his life-saving ability had greatly improved compared to before.

"After mastering the Thunderbolt Rule, transforming into thunder makes it difficult for enemies to harm me." Meng Chuan marveled, then stopped and reverted to his normal human appearance.

Standing in the outer void, Meng Chuan commanded from afar, "Heavenly Thunder, descend!"

Immediately, the thunderous power within a hundred-billion-mile radius converged. When completely dispersed, it was barely visible to the naked eye, but once condensed, it formed a tangible bolt of lightning tens of thousands of miles long.

This bolt of thunder struck down with fury, tearing open the outer void, creating a dark spatiotemporal gully, which then slowly healed.

"Without using a Tribulation Realm secret treasure, this move is my strongest burst technique. I'm afraid even Cave Lord Jingyun would be instantly reduced to ash." Meng Chuan could feel its power but wasn't surprised. The Thunderbolt Rule was inherently one of the strongest 'offensive' rules among the Six-Tribulation Realm rules.

"And my Essence Soul World."

Meng Chuan's expression was somewhat complex as a thought crossed his mind.

A vast illusory world spread out, encompassing a full eight million miles of void.

"My Essence Soul World has grown larger." Meng Chuan observed. His previous Essence Soul World was a combination of three different rules: Boundless Blade, Nirvana Blade, and Cloud Mist Dragon Snake Movement. But now, his Essence Soul World... only contained one rule: the Thunderbolt Rule.

In this vast world, thunder and lightning crackled amidst high-altitude clouds, while towering mountains were constantly struck by furious lightning. In many areas, countless bolts of lightning converged to form 'Seas of Thunder' and 'Lakes of Thunder'.

This was an Essence Soul World rooted in the 'Thunderbolt Rule', and many illusory beings within it also possessed lightning characteristics.

"My Essence Soul World." Meng Chuan felt the immense power of his current Essence Soul World.

Under the shroud of the illusory world, his control over electromagnetism reached an astonishing degree. Ordinary Five-Tribulation Realm beings entering the range of his Essence Soul World would be torn apart and disintegrated.

Despite such a significant increase in power, Meng Chuan felt a heavy pressure.

"My mental cultivation can indeed bear the Thunderbolt Rule."

"With my Essence Soul World's transformation, the Sixth Essence Soul Tribulation will likely descend in about a hundred years." Meng Chuan felt considerable pressure.

He didn't know if his mental cultivation could bear the 'Thunderbolt Rule' before entering the ruin world.

But after undergoing five transformations in the third passage of Demon Mountain, he was indeed able to bear the Thunderbolt Rule.

"I hope my mental cultivation is a bit higher than the threshold for the Six-Tribulation Realm," Meng Chuan silently wished. The higher his mental cultivation, the greater his hope of passing the Sixth Heavenly Tribulation. "I also wonder what I'll encounter in the Sixth Essence Soul Tribulation."

The Essence Soul Tribulation was even more ethereal and unpredictable.

In contrast, the Physical Body Tribulation tests were more straightforward. Meng Chuan had already passed five Heavenly Tribulations concerning his physical body during his cultivation, each time with ease, because his physical body was indeed close to perfection among Five-Tribulation Realm physical bodies, without any hitches.

That was how Physical Body Tribulations were: as long as the physical body met all standards, or even cultivated to be stronger than average, the chances of passing the tribulation were high.

As for the Essence Soul Tribulation, one had no confidence before passing it.

"Rumble—"

After half an hour of practice in the outer void, familiarizing himself with his new abilities, Meng Chuan returned to Qianshan Star.

The cultivators on Qianshan Star did not know that a new 'Six-Tribulation Realm' entity had been born in the Sanwan River System.

Unlike Fusui, who was a 'Half-step Six-Tribulation Realm' and at the bottom in terms of strength, Meng Chuan could be considered a true Six-Tribulation Realm being, with only the final test of 'undergoing tribulation' remaining.

Cangyuan Realm was as peaceful as ever.

With Meng Chuan present in this era—the second strongest being in Cangyuan Realm's history—Cangyuan Realm had no need to fear any external threats and possessed abundant resource supplies, allowing for significant development.

"Undergoing tribulation."

Meng Chuan sat in the courtyard of Yuanchu Mountain's Dongtian Pavilion, drinking wine and pondering.

"There's not much one can do when facing a heavenly tribulation," Meng Chuan mused. "There are two aspects: first, a World Secret Treasure, and second, continuing to improve my mental cultivation."

If he could master even stronger rules to make his Essence Soul World more powerful, it would naturally help with passing the tribulation.

However, in just a hundred years, even if Meng Chuan was a prodigy, it would be difficult for him to achieve a qualitative transformation.

So, he could only focus on the other two aspects.

"A World Secret Treasure can make the Essence Soul World more stable, increasing the chances of resisting the tribulation. This is the most crucial and most immediate solution." Meng Chuan put down his wine cup and rose to head for the Heavenly Earth Grand Hall's Dongtian.

Heavenly Earth Grand Hall.

Meng Chuan delved deep inside, passing through ancient halls one after another, and soon arrived at a familiar hall.

White mist emerged from the hall walls, condensing into a white-robed elder who smiled at Meng Chuan. "Meng Chuan, have you come to retrieve a treasure, or to verify your strength?"

"To verify my strength once," Meng Chuan replied.

"You're familiar with the rules. Attack that pillar with all your might," the white-robed elder said, smiling as he pointed to a cyan pillar.

Meng Chuan nodded slightly. He extended his right hand, and in his palm appeared a Thunderbolt Seal—the secret treasure 'Thousand Thunders Seal'. Although the Thousand Thunders Seal wasn't extremely precious, it was perfectly suited for Meng Chuan, an Essence Soul Tribulation Realm being who had mastered the Thunderbolt Rule, to wield.

"Go."

The Thousand Thunders Seal suddenly transformed into a terrifying bolt of thunder. The condensed thunderbolt was only about ten feet long, yet its power was such that it could pierce through a sun star without any loss. Now, it struck the cyan pillar with full force. Layers of runes appeared on the pillar's surface; in an instant, countless runes shattered, disintegrating ten layers consecutively. Soon after, the runes re-condensed and recovered.

"Ten layers shattered?" The white-robed elder watched, stunned. "Six-Tribulation Realm?"

He had always witnessed Meng Chuan's growth. How long had he been cultivating to reach the Six-Tribulation Realm already?

"I haven't undergone the tribulation yet," Meng Chuan replied.
