Boom!
In the blink of an eye, another Purple Sky Divine Thunder struck down. Wang Junze was unable to dodge, and could only raise his sword to forcibly withstand the attack of the Purple Sky Divine Thunder. Though with his strength, he wouldn't be split to death, having it land directly on him still made him appear somewhat disheveled.
There was no way around it; this Secret Realm was far larger than Wang Junze had imagined. Ever since entering, half an hour had passed, and there was no way Wang Junze could maintain his Sword Domain for such a long time.
But without the protection of the Sword Domain, just standing against the Purple Sky Divine Thunder, even Wang Junze found it somewhat difficult to sustain.
Previously, he could still manage. Although Purple Sky Divine Thunder occasionally struck down, as long as there was some caution, it was always possible to dodge. However, as he delved deeper into the Secret Realm, the frequency of these Purple Sky Divine Thunders striking down increased significantly, and as if they had eyes, at least seven or eight out of ten were aimed directly at Wang Junze.
Being continuously struck like this, anyone would find it unbearable.
The only good news was that during this time, Wang Junze had gradually developed a slight understanding of the Power of Thunder.
With this thought, Wang Junze simply steeled his heart, stopped his steps, put away his sword, and completely opened his mind, actively enduring the attack of the Purple Sky Divine Thunder.
Didn't the Guan Family ancestor say that these Purple Sky Divine Thunders could play a role in tempering the Divine Soul? Even if it couldn't be avoided, he might as well use this Purple Sky Divine Thunder for cultivation.
Rumble!
Another Purple Sky Divine Thunder struck directly on Wang Junze's body. No longer resisting with Sword Intent, he directly endured this power, which immediately caused Wang Junze to feel intense pain all over, and every inch of his skin, every bone felt a numbness.
This was just the physical body. The Power of Thunder surged into the Divine Soul, fiercely blasting toward the Sword Soul in the Sea of Consciousness. The kind of tremble and pain that came from the soul was even more despairing.
This also gave Wang Junze a puzzling doubt in his heart.
He was barely holding on as it was. How on earth did those members of the Guan Family withstand the attack of the Purple Sky Divine Thunder and comprehend the Path of Thunder?
One, two, three...
Wang Junze no longer attempted to dodge or resist, but the Purple Sky Divine Thunder in the sky showed no sign of stopping, continuing to strike down repeatedly. Strangely enough, even though Wang Junze had stopped, not a single thunder strike missed; instead, it was even more exaggerated than before, with every Purple Sky Divine Thunder hitting Wang Junze directly.
Such an attack would have smashed any cultivator coming to Enter the Path, but Wang Junze still managed to hold on.
This was truly because Wang Junze's foundation was too solid. Whether it was the meridians in his body or the strength of his Divine Soul, they were far beyond those of ordinary cultivators. Moreover, under the constant attack of the Thunder, Wang Junze's terrifying talent emerged once again.
The Purple Sky Divine Thunders that struck down seemed to transform into Sword Auras under Wang Junze's deductions.
No one knew how long it took, but suddenly a similar Sword Intent erupted from Wang Junze's body!
As another Purple Sky Thunder struck down, this Sword Intent suddenly soared into the sky, meeting the thunder.
"Oh!"
Almost simultaneously, an unexpected voice resounded in the void.
The voice wasn't loud, but it sounded extremely ethereal and clear.
"Who?!"
His pupils suddenly contracted, and Wang Junze was startled by this unexpected voice. In his breaths, his aura surged, and the Sword Domain naturally unfolded, enveloping and protecting himself within.
"Interesting, you intrude into my Divine Domain, yet you ask who I am?"
With a light chuckle, the voice asked again.
"!!!"
This statement instantly stirred up a storm in Wang Junze's heart.
Divine Domain?!
In a flash, Wang Junze suddenly realized.
A Divine Domain expert!
Previously, Qu Lishang had said that in this world, Divine Domain experts existed. But these Divine Domain experts were mostly bound by Ancient Supreme Treasures like the Great Nether Mirror, and generally were restricted to Ancient Secret Realms, unable to leave easily.
However, all along, Wang Junze had subconsciously believed that such powerhouses were too far removed from him, and had never thought he might encounter such an existence.
This time, Mr. Guan had him enter the Ancient Secret Realm for cultivation. While Wang Junze considered many possibilities, he hadn't imagined this Ancient Secret Realm would be the training ground of a Divine Domain expert.
Dammit!
In an instant, Wang Junze realized he had been deceived by Mr. Guan.
This Ancient Secret Realm could never belong to the Guan Family.
Yet, in that instant, a thought flashed through Wang Junze's mind. Instead of exposing the truth, he bowed and asked towards the void: "May I ask, senior, might you be an elder of the Guan Family? Junior Wang Junze was invited by Mr. Guan. If there is offense, please forgive me, senior."
"The Guan Family?!"
Upon hearing this, a derisive laugh erupted from the void: "What is the Guan Family worth? What, does the Guan Family dare claim this Secret Realm as theirs?"
"This..." Showing a hint of hesitation on his face, Wang Junze then continued: "Mr. Guan only said he knew of an Ancient Secret Realm where I could cultivate..."
Wang Junze initially intended to set up the Guan Family, but upon hearing the other party's words, he abruptly realized that if the other party truly was a Divine Domain expert, then Mr. Guan would never dare utter such claims.
In fact, when deceiving him earlier, Mr. Guan had only spoken vaguely, never daring to claim the Ancient Secret Realm belonged to the Guan Family.
Thinking of this, Wang Junze immediately changed his tone, smiling bitterly: "I see, I've been misled..."
"At least you're honest!"
Hearing Wang Junze's words, the other party chuckled: "I have no interest in your relationship with the Guan Family, but I am a bit interested in you."
"???"
This statement left Wang Junze at a loss for how to respond. Being watched by a Divine Domain expert was likely not a good thing.
"I mistakenly entered this place, I ask for senior's forgiveness, I will leave right away."
Forcing himself to endure the fear in his heart, Wang Junze spoke again.
"Leave?"
With a cold laugh, the other party said again: "Do you think you can come and go as you please in my Divine Domain?"
"..."
"Weren't you here to cultivate? I find you pleasing, so I can give you an opportunity!"
"Keep moving forward, and in half an hour, if you reach me, I'll grant you a chance!"
The moment the words fell, several more Purple Sky Divine Thunders emerged in the void, thundering down behind Wang Junze, completely sealing his way back.
