First slash, heavenly thunder appears.
Second slash, heavenly thunder transforms.
Third slash, heavenly thunder merges.
Fourth slash, thunder becomes demon.
Sixth slash, chaos tears the heavens.
Seventh slash, divinity and demon unite.
Eighth slash, gods and demons dance.
Ninth slash, all living things perish.
This was the Nine Slashes of Heavenly Thunder.
The cultivation method for this Nine Slashes of Heavenly Thunder was unique. One had to use a special technique to draw out the thunder from the depths of Chu Feng's bloodline — the power of heavenly thunder itself.
And drawing out the thunder from the depths of his bloodline, harnessing the power of that colossal thunder beast — that was no simple task.
Even the difficulty of cultivating just the first slash alone was enough to give Chu Feng a headache.
Yet despite all that, Chu Feng felt a secret thrill. Perhaps it was because the Nine Slashes of Heavenly Thunder had merged with his body, fused with his very soul.
So even though he had not yet mastered the Nine Slashes of Heavenly Thunder, Chu Feng could already sense its immense power.
It need not be much — the power of the first slash alone possessed the strength to fight against someone one rank above him, enough to slay an enemy whose cultivation exceeded his own by an entire rank.
"Chu Feng, what are you spacing out for?"
Her Majesty the Queen could share Chu Feng's senses of sight and hearing, but she could not see inside his mind.
Seeing Chu Feng standing there in a daze, she couldn't help but ask.
"Her Majesty the Queen, this time... I've stumbled into fortune again."
Chu Feng eagerly told Her Majesty the Queen all about the Nine Slashes of Heavenly Thunder.
"Is that so? So in the end, when you climbed to the tenth level of that Heavenly Thunder Platform, you weren't being punished by heaven — you were reaping a blessing instead."
"Haha, that's wonderful! If the Chu Heavenly Clan knew about this, wouldn't they be furious?" Upon learning the news, Her Majesty the Queen was even more delighted than Chu Feng.
"This absolutely must not be told to them. Although Senior Zhengfa has treated me well, the Chu Heavenly Clan's true attitude toward me remains unclear. If they learn that I possess such a technique tied to their heavenly bloodline, who knows — they might try to strip it from me," Chu Feng said.
"Of course, we can't tell them. But that's only for now. In the future, you must tell them. You must."
"When your strength has grown to the point where you no longer fear the Chu Heavenly Clan, you will unleash the Nine Slashes of Heavenly Thunder and make them watch with their own eyes. They'll see that the methods you command are something they could never hope to match in their entire lives."
Her Majesty the Queen's lips curved upward, as though she had already witnessed the look of shock and regret on the Chu Heavenly Clan's faces in the future.
"Haha, alright — I'll listen to my Egg," Chu Feng said, equally elated.
He felt his body was essentially back to normal, and on top of that he had obtained such a technique. How could he not be overjoyed?
The only pity was that Chu Feng currently had no way to cultivate it. In his estimation, one would need at least the cultivation of a Martial Immortal to begin training the Nine Slashes of Heavenly Thunder.
But right now, let alone being a Martial Immortal, Chu Feng was still a long way from even the Heavenly Immortal realm. So if he wanted to attempt cultivating the Nine Slashes of Heavenly Thunder, he would truly need to wait patiently.
Still, this gave Chu Feng a powerful motivation to advance his cultivation.
"Chu Feng, you're awake?"
