Divine Replication System

The Thunder Fall Steel Mountain peak, situated within the confines of the Thunder Yang Pavilion's sect headquarters, was beyond their reach.    

And the Thunder Yang Pavilion was equally unable to claim it.    

Moreover, they had lost their Thunder Mountain, a legacy of immense power handed down through generations.    

Their loss was indeed substantial.    

While there had never been an outright war among the different forces, the undercurrents of conflict and accumulated grievances were plentiful.    

Witnessing the Thunder Yang Pavilion's dire straits brought them considerable satisfaction.    

Subjugated by Lin Xuan, compelled into submission, and stripped of resources, their feelings of oppression and frustration began to dissipate.    

At the heart of the once thunderous and now barren Thunder Mountain, the energy had nearly vanished, yet the dazzling light at its core remained undiminished.    

A formidable aura of oppression still permeated the Void, dominating the land and every creature within it.    

This very presence quelled the Emperor Level Martial Cultivators' greed for the Thunder Fall Steel Mountain.    

With that individual present, the treasures were his to claim first, leaving only scraps for the rest.    

This had been the unspoken rule for countless millennia.    

They used to be the sovereigns, in control of everything.    

Now, they had been relegated to level 1.    

Under this overwhelming force, an eerie silence prevailed.    

The once thunderous roar of the mountain had quieted to a near hush.    

The passage of time became imperceptible.    

How long had elapsed was anyone's guess.    

Eventually, the light that outshone the sun itself began to fade and vanish.    

Simultaneously, the oppressive force that had engulfed the Void receded like the ebbing tide.    

Life returned to the world, no longer shrouded in silence.    

The martial artists gradually regained mastery over themselves.    

Their Pill Essence and Vitality started to flow once more.    

The senior figures breathed sighs of relief and awe.    

Having endured this ordeal, they now truly grasped the extent of that individual's terror.    

If it could be avoided, they would never wish to endure such an experience again in their lifetimes.    

Ahead, where Thunder Mountain once stood, its surface once ablaze with dazzling green, purple, and white lightning, now all that remained was a barren peak. This mountain, forged from Thunder Meteoric Iron, had shrunk slightly but still towered a thousand feet high. At its summit, a solitary figure stood, minuscule in comparison to the colossal mountain, yet commanding immense respect. This was the person who had consumed the indomitable Thunder Mountain of the Dongyuan Continent, a feat unachieved for countless years.    

Lin Xuan stood atop the Thunder Meteoric Iron peak, feeling the transformation within himself, a slight smile playing on his lips. "The gains this time have been substantial. The Thunderbolt Divine Body has absorbed all the lightning energy from Thunder Mountain. It's still severely damaged and can't unleash its full potential, but there has been an improvement. My aptitude, for instance, has risen from Middle Class to High Grade within the Supreme Grade. My cultivation speed will now be faster, especially with lightning attribute martial arts, which I can now easily master and execute with far greater power than other techniques. If I choose, I can effortlessly conjure a thunderstorm spanning dozens of miles. My talent must be nearing the limits of what the Tianyuan Continent can sustain. In the future, once I am strong enough to harness all the resources of the Central Essence Continent, I might have a chance to break through to the Emperor Level, despite the constraints of the laws of Heaven and Earth."    

Lin Xuan pondered, though with no great certainty. Humanity seemed fragile before the laws of nature. He knew he had to enhance every aspect of his being to slightly increase his odds of overcoming the formidable tribulations that lay ahead. "The strength of my physique has also seen some improvement, even though it remains at the Half-level Emperor."    

He should be considered among the elite of the Half-level Emperors.    

Without relying on martial arts, profound secrets, or close-quarters combat, I could easily overpower the Demon Aura."    

"And then there's this Thunder Mountain, or rather, the Thunder Meteorite Peak!"    

Lin Xuan's gaze drifted downward to rest on the towering black peak that rose thousands of feet into the air.    

Subjected to the relentless scouring of lightning energy over countless years, any impurities, ordinary minerals, and materials had long been eradicated.    

Only the pure essence remained.    

The outermost layer of this black peak consisted of Thunder Meteorite Iron that had attained Emperor Level.    

Deeper within, the quality and grade of the Thunder Meteorite Iron were significantly superior.    

Even at depths of hundreds of meters, Lin Xuan's formidable power could not be obstructed.    

He was able to discern the conditions within.    

A look of disappointment crossed Lin Xuan's face.    

Regrettably, even the highest-grade Thunder Meteorite Iron at the mountain's core was constrained by the laws of nature.    

It had not achieved Emperor Level.    

It was merely top-tier High-grade Emperor Level.    

Even as the pinnacle of its class, it paled in comparison to true Emperor Level material.    

Its utility for Lin Xuan had been greatly diminished.    

Nevertheless, it was not a significant issue.    

He had already absorbed the thunder energy from Thunder Mountain, which had markedly enhanced his own abilities.    

Such gains were more than sufficient.    

As for the remaining Thunder Meteorite Iron of Thunder Mountain, Lin Xuan had no intention of overlooking it.    

Even though it hadn't met his desired standard.    

Its inherent worth was considerable. Given its immense size, simply selling it as a raw material could yield a substantial profit.    

Yet, Lin Xuan had no desire to sell.    

To use it solely as a material would be an extravagant waste.    

Such an enormous mass was a rarity in the world.    

If he could refine it into a unique Mountain Spirit weapon, its value could increase manifold.    

Despite not being Emperor Level material, its countless years of refinement by lightning energy meant that, in certain respects, it was on par with, or perhaps even slightly superior to, Emperor Level materials.    

Consider its durability, weight, and so forth.    

He wasn't concerned with its speed or cutting edge.    

By taking an alternative approach and concentrating solely on its power...    

When it came crashing down, it was as if the heavens and earth were shattering.    

Even a Half-level Emperor would hesitate to face it directly.    

It even surpassed those complete Emperor Level Spirit Weapons in power.    

What's more.    

The lightning energy had been entirely devoured and absorbed by Lin Xuan's Thunderous Body.    

Over the years, this energy had fused with his aura, becoming one with it.    

Now, it was attuned to Lin Xuan's own energy.    

Should Lin Xuan choose to, he could seamlessly integrate the Pill Essence into it.    

He would face virtually no resistance.    

It was as if the Spirit Weapon had been refined by Lin Xuan himself.    

In use, it responded to him as naturally as his own limbs, obeying his every command.    

It was as though it had been custom-made for Lin Xuan.    

And after scouring the entire Dongyuan Continent, Lin Xuan certainly wasn't short on Top Grade spirit stones for his cultivation.
