The last time he obtained the Thunder Body, Zi Chen already had a Rank-7 Physical Body. It took him more than 100 years to go from Rank-7 to Rank-8.
During this time, in addition to refining many Inner Cores, he also refined Thunder Stones for several decades. The consumption was huge.
Of course, the increase in his combat strength was also significant. He was much more powerful than a Rank-7 Armor.
At the same time, he was only one step away from the strongest Rank-9 Physical Body in this world.
It was just that this consumption was a little too touching.
He did not dare to refine Thunder Stones anymore, for fear that others would not have enough to break through.
After his Physical Body broke through to Rank-8, Zi Chen did not leave the world immediately. Instead, he walked into the depths of the world.
The others were still quietly refining Thunder Stones, so Zi Chen did not disturb them.
After coming to this world, due to the various armors, many techniques could not unleash their full power.
For example, Zi Chen's Space-splitting Slash could easily kill those of the same level in the outside world.
Those who could reach this place were all level-9 Divine Generals, so everyone was definitely of the same level. If they were in the outside world, Zi Chen's Space-splitting Slash could almost wipe them all out.
However, it was not possible here.
With those custom-made armors, the Space-splitting Slash's power was greatly reduced.
Now that he had reached Rank-8 and came to the depths of the world, he wanted to spend some time to comprehend his own combat skills so that he could have a stronger armor-piercing power.
For example, he could easily break through custom-made armors.
In this world, breaking through armor was the key.
If he could break through armor, he could naturally kill people.
His Space-splitting Slash was a large-scale attack method that could kill a circle of enemies. As a result, its power would obviously be reduced by a lot.
At this time, he was thinking about how to land the Space-splitting Slash attack on a single point.
The Space-splitting Slash was a space-cutting technique. If it landed on a single point, its power would naturally be stronger.
A light flashed in his hand, and a sheathed long saber appeared.
He unsheathed the saber, and a saber light flew into the distance.
This was an ordinary saber move. Zi Chen was strong enough to display it in this realm.
The long saber returned to its sheath, and Zi Chen's right hand landed on the sheath.
Thunder Force surged on his body. This time, in addition to energy, there were rules lingering around him. Those rules were related to space.
He exerted force with his right hand, and the long saber was unsheathed again. Space Rules lingered on the blade, and he slashed forward.
Looking at the incoming blade, Zi Chen shook his head.
The power of this saber strike was not weak because of his own strength. It had nothing to do with the power of space. On the contrary, those spatial techniques were not fully displayed.
Zi Chen drew his sword again and again, adjusting his Rule Force after each attack.
He stood there, and the spatial rules of the world surrounded his body.
The power of Yin and Yang, as well as the power of the Lightning Body, circled around his body. He held the saber hilt and pulled it out again.
Saber Will circled around the blade.
This was his strongest move. During this period, he did not use the Spatial Regulations. If he used it, its might would instead weaken because the two could not effectively fuse.
As the long saber returned to its scabbard, a black spatial crack appeared, drawing a circle and extending in all directions.
This was Space Rending Slash, a large-scale killing technique.
What Zi Chen wanted to do was to add the power of the two together and merge it into one move.
Obviously, this was difficult. Zi Chen now needed to find a point of convergence.
He used these two attacks again and again to see if he could find a place where they were compatible.
Just like that, another few years passed.
Another ten years passed, and the Deity's clone did not return.
The clone returned once every ten years. Occasionally, it would be late, but Zi Chen did not mind.
Two years later, the clone still had not returned. Zi Chen frowned.
…
…
In this area with thunder stones, Deity's energy surged wildly between heaven and earth, and all kinds of powerful attacks appeared.
Occasionally, an energy divine beast wrapped in divine light would fly into the sky and explode in the void.
Sometimes, a sharp sword light would soar into the sky.
Many attacks appeared between heaven and earth, and rumbling sounds could be heard continuously.
The ones who attacked were a group of Divine Generals. Most of them were at the Eighth Stage, with some at the Seventh Stage. There was not a single Ninth Stage.
They gathered together, their faces filled with anger, and their bodies surged with killing intent.
"Stop!"
"This time, you will definitely die!"
"How many years has it been? We finally found him again!"
"We can't let him go!"
They roared angrily, staring coldly in front of them.
In front of them, a Seventh Divine General was running away. The upper-grade armor on his body was tattered, and had lost its luster and effectiveness. There were several holes in his body, and divine blood was spilling out.
This was the clone that had been away for decades. He did not return for the past ten years because he was targeted.
Not just one or two, or a group, but a large group of Divine Generals.
Obviously, in these decades, his reputation had spread far and wide, so much so that he had provoked public anger.
Many Rank-9s disdained to attack a Seventh Stage like him, but Rank-8s did not care about that. What they cared about was the thunder stones.
As long as they had thunder stones, they did not mind bullying a Seventh Stage.
However, as they attacked, they realized that this Seventh Stage was stronger than they had imagined. He had robbed Rank-8s directly.
Therefore, more and more Rank-8s were robbed. In the end, they formed an alliance and decided to attack this Seventh Stage together.
Because the other party had been robbing for decades, he had obtained countless thunder stones. Naturally, they coveted them and wanted to rob him.
After every battle, the other party ran away again and again. His vitality was stronger than they had imagined.
Now, his armor was broken, and he was injured, but his speed was still so fast.
However …
A Eighth Stage Divine General showed a smile on his face. After so many years of being hunted, they already had experience. Naturally, they knew what to do.
In other directions, other Rank-8s appeared. Their speed was extremely fast, and they surrounded the clone.
Everyone had a satisfied smile on their faces. After decades, they finally surrounded him.
The other party seemed to know what his fate was. Instead, he stopped running and stopped just like that.
The long spear in his hand was full of cracks. It was obviously on the verge of exploding.
"Run?
Why aren't you running? "
A Eighth Stage stepped forward, stared at the Seventh Stage Divine General and said coldly.
The clone looked at the Eighth Stage Divine General and smiled. He said, "I'm not running. I'm waiting for you."
"That's because you can't run!"
The Eighth Stage Divine General said coldly.
At this moment, the others around him also stepped forward. Those who walked in front were all Rank-8s. Their bodies were surging with undisguised murderous intent.
"Run. We'll watch you run!" Another Eighth Stage Divine General said coldly.
The clone shook his head and said sincerely, "I'm not running. Thank you for sending me thunder stones.
Most of you are unfamiliar faces. I believe you have many thunder stones on you, right? "
When the Rank-8s heard this, they were amused. This guy was seriously injured and was about to die. How dare he boast so shamelessly.
