"The power of this Divine Thunder is greater than I imagined. I didn’t expect even my Thunder Jade Bottle couldn’t withstand the impact of this Divine Thunder."

Shi Shanshan coughed up another mouthful of blood, her aura significantly weakened.

Xu Nian looked at the gravely injured Shi Shanshan, his brow slightly furrowed.

At this moment, the power of destruction from the impact of the Divine Thunder continued to rampage inside her body.

It seemed almost impossible to expel it in the short term.

"No, I must collect the Divine Thunder." Shi Shanshan stood up and continued to walk forward.

"But without the Jade Bottle, how will you collect this Divine Thunder?" Xu Nian asked in confusion.

"Without the Jade Bottle, I’ll use my own soul power to capture it. As long as I act quickly, I should be able to seal a bolt of lightning within myself," Shi Shanshan said.

Her eyes were filled with determination.

Xu Nian could only shake his head helplessly.

If Shi Shanshan truly did that, she would likely be courting death.

How terrifying is the power of this Divine Thunder?

How could she possibly withstand it?

"Never mind, let me do it. I have a way to help you obtain the Divine Thunder," Xu Nian said.

"You have a way?" Shi Shanshan was somewhat unconvinced.

The power of this Divine Thunder was so terrifying; she was prepared to face death just by trying.

Even if Xu Nian was powerful, it wasn’t certain he could withstand the devastating attack of this Divine Thunder.

Moreover, Xu Nian had no reason to help her.

"Yes, I have a way," Xu Nian said.

After speaking, Xu Nian waved his hand, and his true form appeared before him.

"Eh? Human Clan?" Shi Shanshan’s expression changed instantly.

"This is a clone from my Human Clan," Xu Nian said.

Upon hearing this, Shi Shanshan was suddenly enlightened.

The Underworld forbids the entry of the Human Clan, and if discovered, it would be a serious crime.

So typically, Netherworld Practitioners greatly reject the Human Clan.

Of course, some Netherworld Practitioners also refine their own Human Clan avatars.

After all, the Human Clan has genuine flesh and blood bodies.

"This avatar of yours seems to have a strong physical form," Shi Shanshan said, examining Xu Nian’s true form.

She could distinctly feel the overwhelming power contained within Xu Nian’s Human Clan true form.

This power was immensely grand, as if the being before her was not just a physical body, but a humanoid Ancient Fierce Beast.

Xu Nian chuckled, letting his true form proceed to the area of Divine Thunder ahead.

Xu Nian’s true form didn’t hesitate, stepping directly into the zone of Divine Thunder.

"Crack!"

A terrifying bolt of purple Divine Thunder struck directly at Xu Nian’s true form.

Unflinching and unwavering, Xu Nian let the Divine Thunder strike him.

Shi Shanshan, witnessing this scene, was instantly horrified.

No matter how strong the flesh, it couldn’t withstand a direct strike from this Divine Thunder.

She even questioned whether Xu Nian’s Human Clan avatar would be reduced to mincemeat by the Divine Thunder.

However, the scene that followed left her in shock.

"Boom!"

The Divine Thunder struck Xu Nian’s chest, forcing his figure back two steps.

Yet Xu Nian still managed to withstand this force.

The terrifying Divine Thunder scurried around Xu Nian’s body.

However, Xu Nian’s flesh remained unscathed.

On the contrary, Xu Nian activated the Dan Sea Species Green Lotus Decision, directly swallowing the Divine Thunder into his Dantian.

The power of destruction within the Divine Thunder was absorbed by the Chaos Green Lotus.

The power of the Divine Thunder dispersed throughout Xu Nian’s body, causing a tingling sensation.

"What an exhilarating feeling, I never imagined being struck by this Divine Thunder could feel so good," Xu Nian exclaimed joyfully.

He could feel that as the Divine Thunder coursed through his body, his physical strength was further enhanced.

Although the enhancement wasn’t enormous, for Xu Nian, who already had a physical form comparable to Divine Artifact Level, it was no easy feat.

Subsequently, a second and third Divine Thunder struck one after another.

Xu Nian’s flesh remained unharmed.

On the contrary, he thoroughly enjoyed it.

Shi Shanshan standing nearby was left speechless.

To remain unafraid of the Divine Thunder’s strike, what kind of physical body is this?

Could it be the body of a Divine-level Expert?

But it didn’t look the part!

And so, when Xu Nian had absorbed about ten Divine Thunderbolts, his body’s Power of Great Tao Destruction Origin had reached a saturation point.

At this moment, the black Divine Thunder had transformed into a black Thunderclap Dragon within his body, continually coiling around the Chaos Green Lotus.

Xu Nian could clearly sense the terrifying power contained within this black Thunderclap Dragon.

However, Xu Nian also realized that with his current strength, he couldn’t harness the Thunderclap Dragon.

"This is enough!"

After absorbing enough himself, Xu Nian began capturing the Thunder for Shi Shanshan.

"Boom!"

A bolt of Divine Thunder shot violently.

Xu Nian’s eyes focused, and he reached out with one hand to catch the bolt.

"Buzz!"

Xu Nian’s speed was phenomenal, instantly seizing the Thunder Serpent of the Divine Thunder.

Capturing this Divine Thunder, it strangely couldn’t escape Xu Nian’s grasp.

Xu Nian’s figure flickered and he appeared directly in front of Shi Shanshan.

Seeing the Divine Thunder in Xu Nian’s hand, Shi Shanshan was astounded.

Catch Divine Thunder barehanded?

How is this possible?

Under Divine-level, few can achieve this.

What kind of terrifying physical form allows him to easily hold Divine Thunder in his hand?

Xu Nian took out a Jade Bottle, which was just an ordinary Top-grade Immortal Artifact.

But Xu Nian immediately drew a Heaven Suppressing Talisman on it.

With the application of the Heaven Suppressing Talisman, the Divine Thunder was smoothly stored in the Jade Bottle.

"Divine Talisman Seal? You’re a Divine Talisman Master?" Shi Shanshan exclaimed in shock upon seeing the Divine Talisman Seal on the Jade Bottle.

She realized she couldn’t see through this man at all.

Even though he clearly possessed the same cultivation as her.

He not only had a God Sword but also an unrivaled physical body.

And now he mastered the Divine Talisman Seal.

Each of these feats would be astonishing on its own.

"Sort of." Xu Nian smiled, handing her the Jade Bottle.

"Thank you!" Shi Shanshan expressed her sincere gratitude.

"No need to thank me. Just let me observe when you refine the artifact. Also, please keep my clone a secret." Xu Nian said.

Shi Shanshan nodded.

"I’ve decided to refine the artifact right here," Shi Shanshan contemplated aloud.

"Here?" Xu Nian showed a hint of surprise.

"Yes, the more Heaven and Earth lightning absorbed by the Divine Thunder Pestle, the better. The most concentrated lightning elements are here, and the chances of success are greatest, especially since I haven’t refined a Top-Grade Divine Artifact before," Shi Shanshan explained.

Xu Nian nodded.

Indeed, this was the best place to refine a Thunder Attribute Divine Artifact.

"Then go ahead, I’ll be your protector," Xu Nian said.

Shi Shanshan nodded and began preparing for refinement.

Xu Nian was also curious; he wanted to see how others refined a divine artifact.

After all, he had never seen anyone else refine a divine artifact before.
