Boom!
The swirling cloud vortex high above churned, and the second bolt of Purple Heaven Divine Lightning arrived as expected.
Whether it was an illusion before the sinking or not, the color of the second bolt of lightning seemed to have deepened.
When the thunder struck, the sinking area exploded again.
Logically speaking, Chen Qian's physical body should have been much stronger than it was half an hour ago, but under the bombardment of the second Purple Heaven Divine Lightning, the result remained unchanged.
His body was still shattered in an instant.
Fortunately, the power of the Jade Pool Immortal Water was long-lasting and profound. Although Shen Qian only drank a small sip, the powerful life force contained within it was not greatly depleted in the first lightning strike, and it continued to pull Shen Qian back from the brink of life and death time and time again.
Chen Qian then took the opportunity to cultivate his mental strength, repeating the process from before.
Over the next three hours, Shen Qian summoned three more bolts of lightning.
After finishing his cultivation, Shen Qian let out a long breath, his eyes filled with exhaustion.
He put away the Reverse Scale and placed it in a wooden box specially made by the Martial Arts Department. The dark clouds that had gathered in the sky also dissipated, and the surroundings returned to normal.
It wasn't that Shen Qian didn't want to continue cultivating, but rather that he felt his will had reached a certain limit.
Enduring extreme pain one after another, even if you manage to get through it, is like a taut string that might snap at any moment when it reaches its breaking point.

In fact, summoning four bolts of lightning on the first attempt at cultivation was already somewhat reckless. Wu Wei had also instructed Chen Qian in the jade slip to proceed step by step, and that he could only summon one bolt of lightning on the first attempt, and then gradually increase the number afterward.
Later, Shen Qian indeed felt that the power contained in each bolt of Purple Heaven Divine Thunder was gradually increasing.
It took him less than twenty minutes to digest the first Purple Heaven Divine Lightning, but the destructive power contained in the fourth Purple Heaven Divine Lightning raged through his body for more than an hour before being gradually worn away by his constantly regenerating body.
If it weren't for the fact that Shen Qian had already broken through the bottleneck and entered the legendary second forbidden realm when the third lightning bolt struck, he might not have been able to withstand the fourth lightning bolt.
The biggest change in the body of the Second Forbidden One was that his body began to change to a jade-like color.
His internal organs had also undergone subtle changes, and their structure was completely different from that of ordinary people. It was certain before he went down that there were almost no vital organs left on his body.
Even with a shattered heart, his body still maintains strong vitality, and as long as he doesn't suffer a series of blows, he can heal himself at an astonishing speed.
Fortunately, when he didn't unleash his full power before sinking, his body showed no abnormalities and wasn't considered flashy.
"That punch should easily exceed 100,000 kg..."
He clenched his fist and muttered to himself.
With his double-forbidden body, his strength alone has increased more than threefold. Coupled with the supernatural abilities such as the ten orifices, Chen Qian's punch now should be able to crush an ordinary first-level Mountain and Sea Realm martial artist.
And this is all without using any supernatural powers.
Shen Qian's surprise didn't stop there. He opened his palm and let the Yuan energy gather in his hand.
Visible to the naked eye, on the grayish-brown elemental energy, were wisps of purple lightning constantly leaping.
His chaotic elemental energy also benefited from the lightning baptism just now. Not only did it absorb the original elemental energy of the Purple Heaven Divine Lightning, but it also became much more solid under the tempering of the divine lightning, and its quality improved slightly.
Although it is a physical cultivation, it also benefits the spiritual power and the Yuan power, which can be described as killing three birds with one stone. This Ancestral Dragon's Reverse Scale truly lives up to its reputation as a divine object for body refining.
"It's time to go back."
Chen Qian, who was completely naked, stood up and found some clothes to put on.
After today's body tempering, there was still a considerable amount of destructive energy from the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder lingering in his body. He estimated that it would take quite some time to fully digest this energy with the help of the Mountain and Sea Elixir.
For the time being, he won't need to run into the penalty area anymore.
...
His figure rose taller, he strode forward, enjoying the fierce wind on his face, and sped towards Jiangzhou City.
Although the forbidden zone had become increasingly ugly in terms of both weather and environment due to the presence of those mysterious black mists, it did not affect Chen Qian's current pleasant mood in the slightest.
The world is vast and desolate. A lone figure walks between heaven and earth, and with a wave of his hand, sandstorms and acid rain all bow down.
Unbeknownst to him, the once naive boy had already developed the demeanor of a true powerhouse.
"I once dreamed of wandering the world with a sword, to see the splendor of the world..."
As Chen Qian was riding the wind, shouting in his hoarse voice, a huge roar suddenly came from ahead.
Rumble!
Shen Qian stared in surprise at the earth beneath his feet, which was trembling wildly for hundreds of miles.
His mental energy instantly sensed something, and his expression changed. He quickly sped up and rushed forward.
After pushing the speed to the limit, in less than a minute, the sinker had already covered a distance of tens of kilometers.
Ahead, the outline of a vast city came into view; it was Jiangzhou City.
With his heart pounding inexplicably, Shen Qian increased the distance. When he stood at an altitude of 10,000 meters, looking down at Jiangzhou City a dozen kilometers away, Shen Qian couldn't help but gasp.
As the capital of Jiangzhong Province, Jiangzhou City was among the first cities to be rebuilt after the disaster, and its scale can be imagined.
Although it cannot compare to international metropolises like Beijing and Shanghai, its city size and population rank among the top in China.
