Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest

With spells cast, he summoned and controlled the divine thunder with concentrated spirit.

Seated in the Defense Tower, Wang Chen faced the oncoming evil monsters with undivided attention, continuously unleashing the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder.

As an extremely yang and firm spell, the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder that Wang Chen had mastered was only of the Purple Mansion Tier, but he had already cultivated it to the level of Great Perfection, and its power had reached its peak.

The Nine Heavens Divine Thunder could be used both for single-target and area attacks, with area attacks requiring extremely strong mental control; otherwise, the power and accuracy would both be greatly reduced.

However, each wave of thunder unleashed by Wang Chen hardly missed its target.

Due to the terrain's limitations, the evil monsters could only rush toward the Defense Area from one direction, and those leading the charge were annihilated on the spot by the thunder descending from the heavens before they could even approach within a hundred steps.

One wave after another fell.

Endless, seemingly ceaseless spiritual light wove a dense thunder net on the rocky slope in front of the Defense Area.

No evil monster could break through this wall of thunder and lightning!

At this moment, the three Purple Mansion female cultivators seated in the array chamber were all dumbfounded.

Even the usually aloof Li Mengyan's eyes widened in shock.

The Nine Heavens Divine Thunder was not a sect's secret technique; any Inner Sect Disciple could exchange it as long as they had enough merits.

Although they had not cultivated this spell, they had seen others use it.

But Li Mengyan and the others had never seen anyone execute the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder to such an earth-shattering extent!

At the beginning, when they saw the tide-like surge of evil monsters outside through the Water Mirror, the three women were quite despairing.

They really had no confidence in holding this fortress.

But now, witnessing Wang Chen's divine might, the fear and doubt in their hearts dissipated by more than half.

"Senior Sister Yun,"

Sun Yulian muttered, "No wonder you decided to come to Senior Brother Wang's side; it was really the right choice."

She thought that Yun Feifei insisted on seeking refuge here because she knew Wang Chen was exceptionally strong.

Li Mengyan couldn't help but nod her head in agreement.

But Yun Feifei was somewhere between laughing and crying, "Actually, I, never mind."

She didn't even know how to explain.

Yun Feifei knew that Wang Chen came from a background of Loose Cultivators, and she held no prejudice against Loose Cultivators, even aware that cultivators from Loose Cultivator backgrounds often had stronger combat capabilities than those from Noble Clans.

Yun Feifei's initiative to build a good relationship with Wang Chen wasn't because she had the ability to see the future, but rather it was out of a strategy of casting a wide net—thinking that having more friends could only be beneficial and that forming a good relationship with capable and powerful sect members had no downside.

She hadn't expected that she had indeed found the right person.

In fact, when in danger, Yun Feifei had other options.

But she chose Wang Chen.

And Li Mengyan and Sun Yulian didn't think much of it; their confidence was greatly boosted by Wang Chen's performance.

The three worked together wholeheartedly, becoming reliable support for Wang Chen.

At this time, Wang Chen himself was entering a profoundly mystical state.

As the saying goes, after reading ten thousand books, writing flows like the will of the gods; the same is true for practicing skills and casting spells. When a skill is used countless times, a moment of enlightenment is bound to occur as long as one's aptitude is not too lacking, leading to a qualitative leap forward.

Wang Chen had already reached the zenith of the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder's casting tier and couldn't advance further, but his Great Perfection level spellcasting power came from the bolstering cheat of the Immortal Cultivation panel, not from gradual accumulation and breakthroughs.

Like swallowing dates whole, although it's eaten, the true taste is not savored.

There is form, but lacking in spirit.

And this shortcoming was not irreparable. As Wang Chen repeatedly exerted his full strength to utilize the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder, his understanding of this Thunder Magic gradually deepened, and in the Sea of Consciousness a Spiritual Light flickered, faintly grasping something.

The next moment, Wang Chen abruptly stopped his movements.

The barrage of lightning bolts raining down from the sky dissipated, no new thunder continued to brew, and all at once, it became deathly quiet.

The Evil Monsters that had charged up the rocky slope and had been routed were finally able to catch a breath.

But they didn't react in time, many of the Evil Monsters stood there dazed, consequently losing the best opportunity to counterattack.

By the time the Evil Monsters realized their enemy might be having trouble, and roared as they madly rushed toward the Defense Area, a thunder pillar as thick as a tree trunk suddenly tore through the air barrier, ruthlessly striking down in their midst.

The Evil Monsters that were directly hit by the thunder pillar instantly vaporized, and those that were grazed also ended up either dead or injured.

And the very instant this thunder-saturated column hit the ground, the destructive power within burst forth, sweeping in all directions, sweeping away all the Evil Monsters blocking the way.

Struck by the overwhelmingly yang and rigid lightning, the Evil Monsters were either split in half at the waist or fell convulsing and emitting black smoke.

After this single strike, dozens of Evil Monsters were either dead or injured, clearing a large area.

In fact, these Evil Monsters were not merely cannon fodder; some could hurl boulders, some spewed venom, some attacked with sonic waves, and some could shake the earth and split rocks.

However, the Evil Monsters' ranged attacks could not break through the interception of the Defense Area's Defensive Array, and when they tried to strike at close range, they ended up being used by Wang Chen to farm experience for his Nine Heavens Divine Thunder.

Helping Wang Chen achieve an epiphany in his spellcraft!

After launching this Nine Heavens Divine Thunder, Wang Chen's mind suddenly cleared, as if a veil enveloping the Sea of Consciousness had been lifted, allowing him to clearly see a higher level of scenery.

Such an epiphany was extremely rare; many cultivators could go their whole lives without experiencing it.

It allowed Wang Chen to comprehend the esoteric essence of the Purple Mansion Tier Nine Heavens Divine Thunder, thereby achieving the true Great Perfection.

Taking in a deep breath, Wang Chen activated the Heaven-Ensnaring Punisher Net coiled around his arm, drawing out Spiritual Power to supplement his Mana.

His Qi Sea Dantian was nearly depleted, and the Mana he could draw upon was insufficient to unleash the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder again.

But the remaining Evil Monsters were already intimidated.

These Evil Monsters possessed a certain level of intelligence; it was only due to some reason that they threw themselves into an attack against the Defense Area with such disregard for their lives.

Wang Chen's earlier strike of divine thunder, which had plummeted down, was like pouring a basin of cold water over them, cooling their frenzied minds significantly, instantly instilling a sense of fear.

Hisss~

It was at this time that black giant eagles appeared in the sky above the Defense Area.

All of these giant eagles had two heads, their necks were bald, covered in dark red blood tumors, making them look incredibly ugly.

They formed a massive formation in the high air and suddenly dived down toward the Defense Area.

With their beaks wide open, they simultaneously spat out clusters of silvery-white energy orbs!

Each energy orb was the size of a human head, screaming through the air with incredible speed, raining down upon the Defense Area like hail.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Upon hitting the Mana Barrier, these energy orbs immediately exploded, the strong Yin Sha Energy spilling out, assaulting and corroding the Defense Area's Defensive Array, also putting unprecedented pressure on people like Li Mengyan who were stationed in the Array Chamber.

Inside the Defense Tower, Wang Chen suddenly looked up, and the copper mirror embedded in the dome above him lit up, allowing him to see the scene in the sky.

He closed his eyes, then quickly opened them again.

His pitch-black eyes shone with thunderous light!
