8: Ancient inheritance, Thunder God Body

Time flew by, and in a blink of an eye, several days had passed.

Deep within the Tianqing Academy secret realm.

Lu Fengming slowly opened his eyes.

A terrifying bolt of lightning seemed to flicker in his eyes.

His physical body was surrounded by streaks of heavenly lightning, as if a Thunder God had descended upon the world.

At this moment, Lu Fengming's aura was incredibly profound.

In his dantian, a golden core, radiating dazzling light, shimmered faintly.

Clearly, Lu Fengming had successfully advanced to the Golden Core Realm.

He clenched his fist, feeling a surge of explosive power throughout his body.

Lu Fengming nodded in satisfaction: "I didn't expect there to be the inheritance of Revered Thunder God in the secret realm."

"His inheritance is indeed so powerful; it not only allowed me to successfully break through to the Golden Core Realm, but his Thunder Divine Body is an existence of terrifying might."

This caused many new pieces of knowledge to appear in Lu Fengming's mind.

As the eldest young master of the Lu family in the Tianyan Dynasty, Lu Fengming was not only exceptionally talented and incredibly strong, but also well-read. He had not only read numerous Lu family classics, but had also perused all the classics of the Sky Flame Dynasty Royal Family.

It was from these numerous ancient texts that Lu Fengming realized a great inheritance was hidden within the Tianqing Academy secret realm.

According to the ancient texts, Revered Thunder God was a renowned powerhouse in ancient times.

Although he remained at the peak of the Tribulation Transcending Realm his entire life, he was never able to take that final step to reach the Immortal Ascension Realm.

However, his physical body's divine abilities were considered unparalleled in the entire Qinglian Continent.

Revered Thunder God possessed the Thunder Divine Body, which ranked third on the Qinglian Continent.

As long as one could cultivate to the Nascent Soul Realm, one could unleash the Thunder God's Dharma Body, an existence of terrifying power.

Although Lu Fengming had just inherited Revered Thunder God's Thunder Divine Body and many of his inheritances, he had not yet had time to fully integrate these inheritances and the Thunder Divine Body to use them proficiently.

But for the current Lu Fengming, it was already completely sufficient.

Inheriting the Thunder Divine Body and Revered Thunder God's inheritance had allowed Lu Fengming to break through directly from the eighth layer of the Foundation Establishment Realm to the ninth layer of the Golden Core Realm.

He had broken through a major realm in one go.

He was only one minor realm away from the Nascent Soul Realm.

Lu Fengming even had a feeling that he only needed an opportunity to successfully break through to the Nascent Soul Realm.

With the strength of his physical body, he could completely withstand the attacks of Nascent Soul powerhouses.

Lu Fengming nodded in satisfaction at everything he now possessed.

He gently clenched his fist and slammed it into a large rock nearby.

The rock in front of him was not an ordinary stone; it was diamond, incredibly hard.

Even an ordinary Golden Core cultivator might not be able to shatter a diamond after attacking it for a quarter of an hour.

But now, Lu Fengming could easily smash it to pieces with just the strength of his physical body.

A look of excitement appeared on Lu Fengming's face. His heart was already filled with an undeniable sense of satisfaction.

This opportunity truly brought about a transformative change for Lu Fengming.

Not only did he break through to the Golden Core Realm, but with the strength of his physical body alone, he could contend with Nascent Soul cultivators.

This was already an extraordinary achievement.

Within the same realm, even without using any other power, no one would be his match with just his physical body.

"With Revered Thunder God's inheritance, I, Lu Fengming, can truly be considered the strongest among the younger generation of the Tianyan Dynasty."

"Let alone the Tianyan Dynasty, even across the entire Qinglian Continent, I am qualified to contend with those so-called favored children of heaven."

Lu Fengming's heart was filled with soaring ambition.

Although a sudden turn of events caused Lu Fengming to lose his Divine Dragon Luck, lose his cultivation, and become a cripple.

He was even expelled from the Lu family, becoming a stray dog.

He suffered extremely unfair treatment.

Yet, heaven was still kind to Lu Fengming.

Not only did Lu Fengming obtain the system, but he also gained this great opportunity, and his future achievements were unimaginable.

...

"Such powerful energy, is this an ancient inheritance?"

A powerhouse from the Li family, with a solemn expression, looked in the direction where Lu Fengming was.

The other Li family powerhouses behind him also looked stunned.

Originally, because Li Changsheng, the young master of the Li family, had died at Lu Fengming's hands.

The Li family head was furious and mobilized a large number of Li family powerhouses to deal with Lu Fengming.

They never expected that there would be an ancient inheritance in the Tianqing Academy secret realm.

And now, it seemed someone had already discovered the ancient inheritance, and even possibly obtained it.

Everyone's faces turned extremely ugly.

That was an ancient inheritance.

Even if it was bad, if they obtained it, it would be enough to greatly increase their strength.

They absolutely could not just watch as the ancient inheritance fell into someone else's hands.

The leading Li family powerhouse, Li Mi, his face extremely grim, wielded a scimitar-like magic treasure and charged directly towards the center of the disturbance.

Seeing this, everyone quickly followed.

Share and share alike.

With such a good fortune placed before them, even if they couldn't get the entire ancient inheritance, getting a share was still a good thing.

...

"Lu Fengming, it's you!"

"Could it be that the ancient inheritance was obtained by you?"

The leading Li family powerhouse, Li Mi, stared intently at Lu Fengming.

He had followed the disturbance, only to find that the earlier commotion had vanished, and even the ancient inheritance had disappeared without a trace.

Coincidentally, they found their sworn enemy, Lu Fengming, nearby.

Lu Fengming's body was still emitting a powerful aura.

Clearly, the ancient inheritance from earlier had been taken by Lu Fengming.

To watch Lu Fengming, a waste who had been expelled from the Lu family, snatch the ancient inheritance right under their noses.

This feeling was truly unbearable.

...

"Li family Grand Elder Li Mi, sixth layer of the Golden Core Realm."

"Li family Fifth Elder Li Sheng, third layer of the Golden Core Realm."

"I didn't expect your Li family to go to such lengths to deal with me, Lu Fengming."

Lu Fengming scanned the people before him.

As the former eldest young master of the Lu family, he was well aware of their identities and statuses.

"Lu Fengming, enough with the nonsense. Hand over the ancient inheritance, and I can leave you a complete corpse. Otherwise, I will make you wish for death but be unable to attain it."

Li Mi brandished the steel saber in his hand, glaring fiercely at Lu Fengming.

Even if Lu Fengming had absorbed the ancient inheritance, he was determined to find a way to extract it from him.

"Since you don't want to talk anymore, why not just get straight to it and fight?"

"You scoundrel, you're asking for death!"

Li Mi was completely enraged. Without further ado, he swung the steel saber in his hand towards Lu Fengming.

He did not intend to kill Lu Fengming with one strike.

Before obtaining the ancient inheritance, Lu Fengming still had value.

Therefore, this strike was aimed at Lu Fengming's arm.

He believed that by disarming him, Lu Fengming would become much more compliant.

"Come on!"

Lu Fengming did not dodge or evade. As the steel saber was about to strike him, he raised his hand to block.

Clang!

Only a dull sound was heard.

It was as if two pieces of metal had collided.

The immense force sent Li Mi flying several meters away.

In contrast, Lu Fengming only had a scratch on his arm.

Because the wound was too shallow, not even a drop of blood flowed out.

"This... how is this possible?"

Li Mi supported himself, looking at Lu Fengming with an incredulous expression.

One must know.

His strike not only utilized the strength of his physical body and the power of his weapon, but he had also secretly channeled a portion of his Golden Core Realm cultivation.

In contrast, Lu Fengming was merely flesh and blood, yet he withstood his strike with his physical body.

Not only was the opponent unharmed, but he even managed to send him flying.

Lu Fengming's strength had exceeded Li Mi's imagination.

"Could it be... could this... this be the power of the ancient inheritance, allowing a waste like Lu Fengming to suddenly possess such terrifying power?"

This thought suddenly flashed through Li Mi's mind, and he looked at Lu Fengming with an expression of disbelief.

Before he could voice the questions in his heart,

He saw a slight smile appear on Lu Fengming's lips.

"You are even weaker than I imagined."

"Your performance is over; now it's my turn."

The reason he had used his flesh and blood body to meet Li Mi's steel saber earlier was simply to test the defensive capabilities of his Thunder Divine Body.

Now, it seemed it was even more formidable than Lu Fengming had imagined.

With just his physical body, he could withstand Li Mi's powerful strike.

It wasn't that Li Mi, a Golden Core Realm sixth-layer powerhouse, was weak.

It was simply that Lu Fengming's strength was too formidable.

"Thunder Shakes the Heavens!"

As soon as Lu Fengming's words fell, bolts of heavenly lightning formed in the sky.
