Invincible through Touching Corpses

Chapter 453: Chapter 451: Thunder Divine Body

Most people wouldn’t even consider the stone slabs in the corner.

After all, a damaged slab meant it lacked a complete Divine Demon Body Technique, making it impossible to cultivate.

Of course, there were also some complete slabs, but according to the experiences of those who came before, they couldn’t be used to cultivate to the Divine Demon Realm.

Either way, these circumstances meant that other students wouldn’t give them a second thought.

But Lin Xinghai was different. His system could forcibly obtain a Divine Demon Body’s inheritance. He was just hoping his system was powerful enough to extract the inheritances from even these damaged slabs.

Lin Xinghai was never one to hesitate. Acting on his idea, he quickly walked over to the stone slabs.

He took a deep breath and placed his palm directly on a slab that was missing nearly a third of its surface.

Then, he infused his Perception Power into it.

Soon, a familiar sense of resistance arose, blocking his Perception Power from delving any deeper.

Upon feeling this, half the weight on Lin Xinghai’s heart lifted instantly.

For others, without the patterns on the slab, it was impossible to acquire the Cultivation Technique’s diagram.

However, based on his previous attempts, it seemed the system didn’t use these patterns to acquire the inheritance. Instead, it used the obstructive power within the slab itself.

The subsequent events unfolded just as they had before. As soon as the obstructive power appeared, the system quickly displayed a prompt.

"Ding! Spend 45,000 Blood Qi Power to forcibly obtain the inheritance?"

Hearing the system’s notification, Lin Xinghai clenched his fists in excitement, even though he had been half-expecting it.

This undoubtedly meant he had far more options than anyone else.

More importantly, many of these damaged or "uncultivatable" Divine Demon Bodies were some of the most powerful ones.

This was especially true for the Cultivation Techniques that couldn’t reach the Divine Demon Realm. The primary reason they couldn’t was simply that they were too difficult to practice.

And difficulty in Cultivation often implied the power of the Divine Demon Body.

Lin Xinghai took a deep breath, his gaze sweeping over the slabs in the corner. It quickly settled on one in particular.

After reviewing so much information, there was, of course, one Divine Demon Body that had particularly captivated him.

However, the one he had his eye on was deemed impossible to cultivate, so Lin Xinghai had been forced to reluctantly exclude it.

But now that the system could forcibly obtain a Divine Demon Body’s inheritance, things were different.

Soon, Lin Xinghai arrived in front of a complete stone slab.

This was the Inheritance Stone Slab for the "Thunder Divine Body," a very famous technique.

This was because this particular Divine Demon Body was not only the fastest among its peers, but its Attack Power was also among the absolute top tier.

Extreme Speed combined with immense Attack Power—how could such a Divine Demon Body not make people salivate with envy?

So, when this Inheritance Stone Slab was unearthed, it quickly drew widespread attention. Numerous students, and even instructors, chose to cultivate this Divine Demon Body.

And the Thunder Divine Body did not disappoint. In the Blood Qi Realm, it was a cut above other Divine Demon Bodies.

However, problems arose later on.

When they tried to use this Cultivation Technique to break through to the Body Shaping Realm, they encountered incredible difficulty.

The success rate for breaking through was an astonishing 1 in 50. And this was at East Sea Academy, a gathering place for the nation’s most talented geniuses.

If these same geniuses were to practice other Divine Demon Body Techniques, while not a guaranteed 100% success rate, they would have at least a 90% chance of breaking through to the Body Shaping Realm.

Yet, for those cultivating the Thunder Divine Body, the breakthrough probability plummeted to a mere 2%.

A breakthrough rate that low was simply appalling.

But that was just the beginning of the problems. After the most elite geniuses arduously broke through to the Body Shaping Realm, their Cultivation progress slowed to a crawl, like a clay ox sinking into the sea. Their rate of improvement was even slower than that of the least talented students.

If that were the only issue, some geniuses might have chosen to persevere, banking on the sheer power of the Thunder Divine Body.

The real problem was that over the many years, not a single one of the top geniuses who persisted managed to break through to the Divine Demon Realm. None even reached the Peak of the Body Shaping Realm.

Keep in mind, those who were willing to persist were the most elite of geniuses. If they hadn’t been so determined to master the Thunder Divine Body, many of them might have already become powerhouses in the Divine Demon Realm.

Consequently, the academy administration eventually began to advise students against even attempting to learn such a difficult Divine Demon Body Technique.

Lin Xinghai, however, wasn’t troubled by these concerns. He walked up to the Thunder Divine Body’s Inheritance Stone Slab and placed his hand on it, a little apprehensive.

Although the system could forcibly help him acquire the inheritance, there was a prerequisite: he had to be compatible with the Divine Demon Body in question.

Otherwise, according to Little Fatty, even a powerful Divine Demon Body would have limited potential in his hands.

As his Spiritual Power steadily seeped in, Lin Xinghai felt a faint resistance. Discovering this, his spirits lifted, and he increased the input of his Perception Power.

As his Perception Power delved deeper, he soon felt a warm, pleasant sensation.

’I’m compatible with the Thunder Divine Body!’

The thought had barely formed in his mind when he heard the system’s notification.

"Ding! Spend 72,000 Blood Qi Power to forcibly obtain the inheritance?" Looking at the prompt, Lin Xinghai’s breath hitched.

He knew from his research that the Thunder Divine Body was supposed to be powerful, but he never imagined it would be *this* powerful.

To put it in perspective, forcibly acquiring the inheritance for the Chaos Divine Body, widely acknowledged as the strongest, only cost 61,000 Blood Qi Power.

If the Chaos Divine Body was a tier above ordinary Divine Demon Bodies, then the Thunder Divine Body was a full two tiers higher.

Without a moment’s hesitation, Lin Xinghai selected: Yes!

As the Blood Qi Power was deducted from his system panel, Lin Xinghai suddenly felt a strange suction force emanate from his palm.

This suction was completely beyond his control; it was forcefully extracting something from within the stone slab.

In the next instant, Lin Xinghai felt as if his head was being pounded by countless iron hammers. The world started to spin around him.

If he hadn’t bitten his tongue at the critical moment to force himself to stay conscious, he likely would have collapsed right there on the floor.

Even so, it took all his strength just to stabilize his swaying body.

The sensation lasted for a full half-minute. When the dizziness finally subsided, Lin Xinghai realized his back was soaked with sweat and his face was pale. His Perception Power had been completely depleted in that short time.

But he had no time to worry about that. A massive trove of knowledge had just appeared in his mind.
