Blinding lightning erupted in an instant, completely engulfing Fang Hong.

If it were an ordinary Immortal Emperor Cultivator, they would likely be reduced to powder by this heavenly lightning before they could even let out a scream.

But just as the lightning was about to completely annihilate Fang Hong’s figure, a bizarre scene occurred.

Those originally incredibly violent heavenly lightning bolts gradually transformed into countless rays of blue light, surging toward Fang Hong’s limbs and bones, and finally merging entirely into his body.

"Hahaha. This is so refreshing."

"Come on and strike me. Strike longer."

Feeling the power of the heavenly lightning coursing through his body, constantly scouring and tempering his muscles and bones, Fang Hong couldn’t help but throw his head back and laugh out loud.

He could clearly perceive that his physical body was becoming stronger at an extremely fast speed.

This Divine Thunder Mountain was simply a cultivation treasure ground tailor-made for him.

Just as Fang Hong was absorbing the heavenly lightning, a roar suddenly came from not far from the mountaintop, interrupting his cultivation rhythm.

Fang Hong turned his head to look in the direction of the sound, only to see five huge figures flying towards him at high speed, accompanied by lightning and thunder.

Fang Hong then saw clearly that the newcomers were five huge Thunder Flood Dragons.

These five Thunder Flood Dragons were each over a hundred zhang long, their bodies covered in black scales.

Electric light flashed from time to time between the gaps in their scales, appearing extremely ferocious and terrifying.

The auras of these five Thunder Flood Dragons were not weak; they had all reached the Immortal Emperor Peak level.

What was even rarer was that they had lived on Divine Thunder Mountain for years and had long since adapted to the pressure of the heavenly lightning; their physical body strength was likely comparable to an ordinary Immortal Emperor.

Roar.

The five Thunder Flood Dragons clearly regarded Fang Hong as an uninvited guest trespassing on their territory.

As soon as they approached, they all opened their bloody mouths and spat out rolling divine lightning toward Fang Hong!

Dozens of terrifying lightning bolts intertwined into a huge lightning net, carrying earth-shattering power, and covered Fang Hong from above.

"Five vile beasts, daring to act presumptuously in front of me, you are simply courting death."

Facing the siege of the Thunder Flood Dragons, Fang Hong shouted violently, not putting these Thunder Flood Dragons in his eyes at all, and raised his hand to strike out a Light of Years.

The dazzling light instantly illuminated the entire summit of Divine Thunder Mountain.

The Light of Years was the manifestation of the Great Dao of Time, containing the terrifying power to erode all things.

Those five Thunder Flood Dragons could not make any resistance in time and were instantly hit by the Light of Years.

Only a few shrill screams were heard, and the huge bodies of the five Thunder Flood Dragons fell directly from the sky, smashing heavily onto the rocks on the mountaintop.

Their auras instantly withered away, and they no longer had their previous arrogant momentum, having lost even the strength to struggle.

Seeing this, Fang Hong flipped his wrist and directly summoned the soul severing sword, teleporting in front of the five Thunder Flood Dragons.

With a swing of his hand and a fall of the sword, he completely slaughtered the five Thunder Flood Dragons in an instant, cleanly ending this short battle.

I have to say, the defense of these five vile beasts was truly formidable; if I hadn’t used the seventh-grade dao artifact, it might have been really difficult to kill them.

Afterward, Fang Hong collected the corpses and souls of the five Thunder Flood Dragons, planning to deal with these spoils of war slowly after leaving the Ancient Demon Realm.

After dealing with these five annoying guys, Fang Hong looked around.

In order to avoid anyone else coming to disturb his cultivation later, Fang Hong directly set up a layer of powerful restriction around the entire Divine Thunder Mountain.

After taking protective measures, Fang Hong sat cross-legged in the air above the mountaintop with peace of mind and began to operate the Devouring Tribulation Divine Art with all his might.

As the cultivation technique operated, a layer of suction force instantly appeared around Fang Hong, continuously drawing the power of the heavenly lightning over, greedily absorbing it into his body, and beginning his frantic body tempering cultivation.

As the power of the heavenly lightning continuously merged in, his physical body strength was also increasing frantically at an astonishing speed.

Days passed one by one, and in the blink of an eye, nineteen days had passed; only the last day remained before the Ancient Demon Realm closed.

On this day, Fang Hong, who had been cultivating, finally opened his eyes.

A lightning pillar, thicker than all previous heavenly lightning, smashed down fiercely from the depths of the clouds and landed solidly on Fang Hong.

Facing this heavenly lightning capable of seriously injuring an Immortal Emperor, Fang Hong was expressionless and just twisted his body slightly.

That powerful heavenly lightning seemed to have met its nemesis, instantly dissipating from his body without a trace.

After nineteen days of uninterrupted heavenly lightning body tempering, Fang Hong had now long since completely adapted to the power of the heavenly lightning on Divine Thunder Mountain.

And thanks to this pure power of the heavenly lightning, his Devouring Tribulation Divine Art finally broke through the bottleneck and successfully reached the fourth layer.

Cultivating the Devouring Tribulation Divine Art to the fourth layer meant that Fang Hong’s physical body strength had officially reached the Early Stage Immortal Emperor level!

At this moment, although Fang Hong’s realm was Late Stage Immortal Emperor, just by his physical body strength, he could already rival an Early Stage Immortal Emperor!

"This trip to the Ancient Demon Realm was truly worth it."

Feeling the surging power in his body, Fang Hong showed joy and sighed.

Just as Fang Hong was rejoicing, a powerful aura suddenly approached rapidly from a distance.

Fang Hong looked up and saw a youth wearing black tight-fitting clothes, stepping on a black cloud, quickly arriving outside the restriction of Divine Thunder Mountain.

Fang Hong glanced at the other party casually; this Black-robed Youth’s cultivation was not weak, reaching Immortal Emperor Peak.

Moreover, Fang Hong saw through his true form at a glance; it was actually a member of the Nine-Headed Serpent Clan.

The Nine-Headed Serpent Clan was also a quite famous Demon Beast Family on the Dragon God Continent.

Although their overall strength was far inferior to the Dragon Clan, they also had an Immortal Emperor-level Old Ancestor sitting in the clan, so their foundation was quite deep.

The Black-robed Youth was clearly also here for the heavenly lightning of Divine Thunder Mountain.

He originally wanted to approach the mountain to see the situation, but was firmly blocked by the restriction set up by Fang Hong and could not get in at all. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Blocked by the restriction, the Black-robed Youth’s expression instantly sank, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.

He directly urged the Demonic power in his body and struck a palm fiercely at the restriction in front of him.

Bang.

The formidable palm power collided with the protective restriction with a loud bang.

A violent explosion erupted instantly, light shot in all directions, and the entire Divine Thunder Mountain shook wildly!

However, after the Black-robed Youth struck with his palm, the restriction Fang Hong set up on Divine Thunder Mountain was still complete, without even a trace of a crack.

"What a powerful restriction! Who exactly set up such a formidable restriction?" The Black-robed Youth was full of surprise, his eyes staring straight at the restriction barrier.

Just as the Black-robed Youth was preparing to mobilize all his Demonic power and summon his trump card Dao Techniques to forcibly break the restriction, the restriction released itself.

Immediately afterward, Fang Hong’s figure slowly flew out from the mountaintop and landed steadily not far from the Black-robed Youth.

The Black-robed Youth was stunned for a moment, then scanned Fang Hong up and down.

Seeing that Fang Hong was just a Black Bear, he didn’t put him in his eyes and asked casually.

"Black Bear, did you set up this restriction?"

As soon as the Black-robed Youth finished speaking, Fang Hong didn’t say a word, his figure flashed, and he teleported directly in front of him.

Before the Black-robed Youth could react, Fang Hong clenched his fist and smashed it fiercely into his stomach.
