Eternal Life: My Lifespan Increases Daily

Chapter 636: Chapter 426: Spirituality, Water Demon! (Double-length)

A thousand miles away from Lei City, a silhouette moved like light and electricity, swiftly darting about, soaring into the air and then shuttling between rocky mountains, creating gusts of whirlwinds.

Flocks of birds flying by were caught in the wild wind, losing half of their feathers.

On the ground, the insect beasts on the mountain rocks were also inexplicably swept up, briefly trying their wings.

”So it’s here.”

The silhouette suddenly stopped in front of a towering stone peak, gaze settling on a large stone disc.

The surface of the stone disc crackled with blue arcs of electricity, affecting the surrounding area within a mile, with bursts of thunder light appearing and disappearing in the air,

”After all these years of fruitlessly searching for the Anomalous Thunder, who would’ve thought it would appear coincidentally this time.”

The silhouette was none other than Song Changming, the current Grand Marshal of the Nineteenth Army.

This time, he led his troops on a mission, sensing something strange along the way. Upon arriving here, he was surprised to discover an Anomalous Thunder had manifested.

This was undoubtedly an opportunity for him.

Anomalous Thunder in the world can reside within living creatures, cultivated to grow stronger.

Or it can appear in nature as it does before us, a fleeting spectacle.

According to his research, Anomalous Thunder attached to rocks like this would not last long.

Sometimes, it may only exist briefly before dispersing, making it difficult to find.

It’s precisely for this reason that, if Song Changming hadn’t happened by this area, the Anomalous Thunder would have remained undiscovered.

Perhaps after two or three days, when the Anomalous Thunder disperses, this place would revert to its original state, as if it had never appeared.

Song Changming extended his hand, releasing the Thunder Seed from within him.

The appearance of the Thunder Seed instantly agitated the Anomalous Thunder in the area.

And the Thunder Seed, like a ravenous Evil Beast, voraciously absorbed the surrounding Thunder Energy, continually approaching the Anomalous Thunder on the stone disc.

The Anomalous Thunder grew more agitated, as if resisting the Thunder Seed’s consumption.

This isn’t because the Anomalous Thunder had developed self-awareness; it’s just that many mysterious things in this world possess a unique spirituality.

Under this spiritual essence, even a cluster of elemental energy like the Anomalous Thunder, which isn’t even considered a life form, seems to have a survival instinct.

Even though it would dissipate on its own in a couple of days, it still resisted the Thunder Seed, unwilling to be consumed.

It’s precisely this spirituality that distinguishes the Anomalous Thunder from ordinary lightning.

Song Changming’s Thunder Seed doesn’t enhance its power by consuming ordinary lightning energy; only by absorbing the Anomalous Thunder and its spirituality can it truly grow stronger.

In the face of the Anomalous Thunder’s repulsion, the Thunder Seed became volatile and frantically consumed it, something Song Changming didn’t even need to intentionally control.

Absorbing the Anomalous Thunder was an instinct imparted to the Thunder Seed by his ’Thunder Eater’ trait.

Ultimately, the Anomalous Thunder was absorbed in strands, like flowing water, by the Thunder Seed, until it was completely integrated from the stone disc into the Thunder Seed.

Later, the Thunder Seed floated back, returning to his body through his hand.

Closely connected to the Thunder Seed, Song Changming’s eyes immediately emitted a burst of thunder light, surrounded by crackling thunder energy.

The feedback from the Thunder Seed made Song Changming feel as if a Little Beast had returned satisfied from its hunt.

The feedback to Song Changming’s body seemed to bring about some changes.

This was the Thunder Seed’s feedback, using the power of the Anomalous Thunder to refine Song Changming’s physique, making his body more resilient and simultaneously helping him further develop the effect of the Thunder Eater trait.

This feedback had previously occurred when he absorbed the Thunderbolt from the Thunder Wheel Tiger, so Song Changming was not surprised.

The refining process didn’t last long, just two or three minutes.

Afterward, Song Changming distinctly felt a slight increase in his own power.

Of course, this slight increase is relative.

A growth of tens of thousands of pounds of strength might be slight to Song Changming, but to other martial artists, it would be a massive boost.

The stone disc before him, along with the entire stone peak area, returned to calm, as if the Anomalous Thunder had never appeared.

Song Changming noted down the location’s coordinates, planning to periodically send people to monitor it.

If this place can continuously generate Anomalous Thunder, it would undoubtedly be significant news for him, potentially solving a cultivation problem that had troubled him for years.

Not lingering any further, Song Changming promptly set off towards Lei City.

The distance of a thousand miles was covered in an instant by Song Changming.

By the banks of the Mineral River.

”Hmm?!”

Xiao Peibai, having just made his deployments, suddenly grew tense, looking towards a certain spot on the river.

There, a wave suddenly surged up, growing taller and more turbulent.

Amidst the waves, the previously hidden Demon Qi was released, confirming the presence of the Demon Race in the river.

The earlier disappearances of people were likely due to the demon in the river.

”Banner Master, that wave is coming towards us!” Li Santu, eyes fixed on the approaching wave, took two steps forward and said.

As his words fell, the wave was less than a few hundred meters from the shoreline where they stood.

In the next moment, the massive wave, like a giant’s hand, slammed onto the shore, causing mud and stones to collapse, threatening to breach the embankment.

Xiao Peibai drew his Longsword, swinging a wide arc of Sword Qi, cleaving the oncoming wave in half, creating a gap.

The wave crashed onto the shore, sparing only the hundred-meter stretch where Xiao Peibai stood.
