Eternal Life: My Lifespan Increases Daily

Chapter 605: Chapter 410: Thunder Eater, Taoist Dreamer! (Double Chapter)_2

In the past, the Thunder Seed was deeply hidden within him; he could mobilize the golden thunder within, but he couldn’t extract it as easily as he does now. The Thunder Seed was like his second heart, important and lethal.

But now, this Thunder Seed is completely under his control; it is no longer as lethal as a heart. The Thunder Seed is just a Thunder Seed, and even if it is destroyed, he can rebuild it. This is one of his abilities after becoming a Thunder Eater!

In fact, he can completely throw the Thunder Seed to detonate the power of thunder within it and use it to destroy strong enemies.

As long as the Thunder Seed is nurtured strongly enough, throwing it out would be comparable to deploying a nuclear bomb, an absolute killing move, just like great demons detonating their heart cores to perish together with their foes!

The difference is that a great demon detonating its heart core is actively seeking death, while he doesn’t have such a cost.

Thinking of the Great Demon Heart Core, Song Changming then took out the Great Demon Heart Core of the Kang Jin Rat King in his hand.

After months of repeated refinement, the energy within this Great Demon Heart Core is already depleted.

This time, Song Changming did not activate the Witch Refining Technique; instead, he drove his Thunder Seed at the palm, like a roaring little beast, and suddenly pounced on this Great Demon Heart Core.

"No!"

The surface of the Great Demon Heart Core emerged with a faint blood energy, which condensed into the form of the Kang Jin Rat King.

But at this moment, it looked very weak, languished, not like a great demon but more like a tormented, dying ground rat.

It seemed to have foreseen its own fate, letting out a terrified roar, but it was also its last lament.

The Thunder Seed devoured the heart core, extracting all the remaining golden thunder energy, and the precious Great Demon Heart Core shattered and dissipated like foam.

Thus, declaring the true demise of the Kang Jin Rat King, with no possibility of resurrection.

And Song Changming’s Thunder Seed received nourishment, with golden thunder roaring, resounding continuously.

This can be considered Song Changming’s first experience of devouring thunder after obtaining the Thunder Eater trait, and it was indeed different.

If it had been previous, Song Changming with the Witch Refining Technique could have refined the remaining golden thunder in the Great Demon Heart Core for several more months.

But now, activating the Thunder Seed, it was ’swallowed’ in one go.

One can only say that the name Thunder Eater is indeed well-deserved.

Opening his hand, the Thunder Seed transformed into a stream of light circling back and forth at Song Changming’s fingertips before finally returning into his body, quietly resting.

After completing this, Song Changming’s attention returned to his panel, pondering over the description of this new orange-level trait.

Soon, he noticed some details, and his gaze fell onto another blue-level trait, the Thunder Roar Body, making some deductions.

This time, the orange-level trait he acquired, it was probably not randomly generated by the panel, but only triggered when he met two prerequisites.

To become a Thunder Eater, he first needed to possess a strong enough thunder attribute talent, and secondly, the Thunder Seed with him.

Only by fulfilling these two conditions could Song Changming see this orange-level trait appearing as a final reward in the annual review.

Viewing the Thunder Eater as an upgraded version of the Thunder Roar Body related trait actually makes sense.

And the Thunder Seed was obtained by Song Changming in reality first through the Witch Refining Technique and then by acquiring and refining the Great Demon Heart Core of the Kang Jin Rat King, a series of coincidental opportunities, ultimately acquired postnatally.

Thinking about who else in reality could meet the conditions to become a Thunder Eater, Song Changming did think of someone.

It was Xu Yuan from the Fifth Army.

This person was born with a Thunder Seed, with a very strong thunder attribute talent, meeting the conditions to become a Thunder Eater at birth.

Unfortunately, Xu Yuan didn’t have Song Changming’s panel, so he naturally had no chance of obtaining this orange-level trait, Thunder Eater.

After sorting out his thoughts, Song Changming turned his attention to the last line in the trait introduction.

Can develop thunder attribute divine techniques.

"What exactly is this divine technique?" Song Changming was deeply puzzled about this.

This wasn’t the first time he’d seen the word divine technique on a panel trait.

His also orange-level Immortal Dragon Body also mentioned developing the innate dragon divine technique at the end of the introduction.

But until now, he had no idea what this dragon divine technique was or how to find or develop it.

He knew that exploring it by himself would not work; he at least needed to find someone who understood what divine techniques were to have any further clues.

And he vaguely sensed that these innate divine techniques were the true strength of these two orange-level traits.

Failing to develop them would be a waste and neglect of these two orange-level traits.

But that was for the future.

At present, he had taken five days just to receive this orange-level reward, and he also needed to claim the remaining rewards.

Expending three thousand life span points to upgrade a physical trait.

But the only options were the ’Alchemy Master’ and ’Meditator,’ these two green-level traits.

Regarding this, five days ago, Song Changming had already made up his mind, so he did not think much and directly selected ’Meditator.’

Quickly, on his panel, another green-level physical trait blossomed with blue radiance.

Taoist Dreamer (Blue): Possesses strong talent in the spiritual domain, adept at deduction, easily attains epiphany!

The content description of this upgraded new trait is concise but also not difficult to understand.

And even before being developed by Song Changming, the effects it already displayed were immediate.

Song Changming felt a coolness over his head, and the spiritual figure in the Nether Sea also grew several sizes, becoming more substantial.

This was a genuine strengthening of his spiritual power.

Moreover, he suddenly found that many confusions in past cultivation suddenly became clear at this moment.

Subconsciously glancing at his experience value of the crimson Cloud Saber Technique, it mysteriously increased by over a thousand points, clearly a wave of epiphany just brought on by him.

"This works too..." Before the upgrade, Song Changming didn’t expect such a prominent effect from this trait upgrade.

"Adept at deduction, easily attains epiphany..."

He now truly understood the value of this description.

The original Meditator trait only endowed Song Changming with talent in spiritual realm cultivation and had no other effects.

Undoubtedly, this ’Taoist Dreamer’ trait not only strengthens his spiritual power but also greatly benefits his future cultivation.

After briefly adjusting to the changes brought by the new trait, Song Changming proceeded without pause, expending another three thousand life span points to obtain the last inner qi cultivation reward.

The next moment, seemingly out of nowhere, massive waves of pure spiritual energy surged into Song Changming’s body from all directions.

Then it was quickly converted into the innate qi aura he needed, surging into the martial veins he had unblocked.

This process required nothing from him but calmly receiving the reward.

The first Celestial Martial Vein he had unblocked not long ago was soon filled with innate qi aura.

At the same time, under the impact of this vast spiritual energy, Song Changming’s second Celestial Martial Vein also showed signs of loosening!

Three thousand life span points are no small amount; when converted into years, it equals eight full years.

Having paid the appropriate cost, he naturally should receive the corresponding reward.

So, Song Changming’s second Celestial Martial Vein was so easily unblocked!

Normally, opening the second Celestial Martial Vein is far more difficult than the first.

Even if he had eight years of cultivation, Song Changming wasn’t confident he could open this second Celestial Martial Vein.

Now, he need not think further.

An annual reward directly skipped those eight years of cultivation time and successfully opened this second Celestial Martial Vein!

He had experienced this sensation before, as he had also received rewards that enhanced his cultivation.

One had to admit, it felt great.

A feeling of having a cheat.

Not long ago, he used the Earth Core Fire Liquid from Su Fengye to open the first Celestial Martial Vein, and now, within just a few months, he had opened the second.

This speed of upgrade is a dream for ordinary innate martial artists.
