Chapter 497: Chaos Heaven Island!
As Li Yun comprehended this, his Lightning Intent began to tremble.
The lightning around him became increasingly intense. Black thunder filled the cave, and every arc seemed to be testing his understanding. If his comprehension was shallow, he would be harmed by the lightning. If his will wavered, the destructive thunder would invade his mind. But if he could grasp the true essence hidden within it, his Lightning Intent would undergo a tremendous transformation.
Li Yun’s breathing gradually became steady.
His mind sank into a strange state.
In his perception, the cave disappeared. His body disappeared. Even the pain flowing through his flesh faded into the background. All that remained before him was a boundless sea of black thunder.
Within that thunder sea, he saw countless bolts of lightning descending from the heavens. Some tore mountains apart. Some split rivers in half. Some struck ancient trees and turned them into ash. Others pierced through layers of spiritual energy and erased everything they touched.
Li Yun silently watched.
Then he slowly understood.
True lightning was not only speed.
True lightning was not only destruction.
It was judgment, punishment, annihilation, and unstoppable descent.
Once lightning fell, it did not hesitate. Once it struck, it did not show mercy. It moved according to its own will and destroyed whatever stood in its path.
At that moment, Li Yun’s Lightning Intent suddenly erupted.
A brilliant flash of lightning burst out from his body, and the black thunder surrounding him was instantly drawn toward him like rivers returning to the sea. The destructive power that had been attacking him moments earlier began to merge into his Lightning Intent.
His comprehension rose rapidly.
Seventy-five percent Source Mastery.
Eighty percent Source Mastery.
The lightning around him became even more ferocious, but Li Yun remained unmoved. His martial heart was firm, his will was sharp, and his understanding of lightning grew deeper with every breath.
Eighty-five percent Source Mastery.
The cave trembled violently as black lightning gathered above his head. It formed a massive thunder vortex that rotated slowly, releasing a pressure that made the surrounding spiritual energy scatter in fear.
Li Yun suddenly opened his eyes.
Two bolts of black lightning flashed through his pupils.
"Ninety percent Source Mastery."
The moment those words left his mouth, his Lightning Intent surged outward with terrifying might. Black and silver lightning wrapped around his body, and the air around him crackled violently.
Compared to before, his Lightning Intent had become far more domineering and profound. It no longer contained only the ordinary power of thunder. It now carried a trace of annihilation from the Annihilation Profound Thunder.
Li Yun slowly raised his hand.
A small arc of black lightning gathered above his palm. Although it looked small, the destructive aura contained within it was enough to make even a peak Essence Qi Realm expert feel fear.
A faint smile appeared on Li Yun’s face.
Although he had failed to push the Ninefold Origin Flesh Scripture to the Immortal Flesh stage, he had gained something equally valuable.
His Lightning Intent had reached ninety percent Source Mastery.
With this, his strength had risen once again.
After that, Li Yun checked his notifications and saw he got the rewards for killing Crown Prince Xing Tian and that brought a smile on his face.

"Nice."
Li Yun smiled brightly when he saw that his EXP had exceeded three hundred thousand. Of that amount, three hundred thousand had come from killing Crown Prince Xing Tian alone.
"He really was a fat sheep."
"The count of three hundred has been reached."
Just then, an indifferent voice echoed from above the void and spread across the entire Void Chaos Island.
"The trial of Void Chaos Island ends here. In this round of the trial, two hundred and twenty-eight people perished, four hundred and seventy-two were eliminated, and the remaining participants may enter Chaos Heaven Island."
As soon as the voice fell, three hundred pillars of light descended from the sky. They enveloped all the remaining trial participants, including Li Yun, before directly teleporting them to another island.
Unlike the previous trials on Chaos Wind Island and Void Chaos Island, all three hundred trial participants who entered Chaos Heaven Island this time were gathered together and teleported to the same place.
This island was extremely empty. There was no vegetation, no living creatures, no mountain ranges, and no rivers. There was only a vast open space, and at the end of that open space stood three palaces that rose from the ground.
The first palace occupied an area of about ten square meters and was paved with bronze. Its appearance was dull and ordinary, without anything eye-catching about it. The second palace covered an area of a hundred meters.
It was entirely golden and shone with brilliant radiance. As for the third palace, it occupied a full thousand square meters, and its surface shimmered with flowing five-colored light that was so dazzling it was difficult to look away.
"Little fellows, congratulations on successfully entering the final land of the Chaos Heaven Secret Realm, Chaos Heaven Island."
The phantom of an old man emerged before everyone. This old man looked exactly the same as the old man Li Yun had seen inside the supreme immortal cave earlier. His expression was calm as he said, "Chaos Wind Island was the Island of Survival, Void Chaos Island was the Island of Contention, and this Chaos Heaven Island is the Island of Inheritance."
"On this island, there are no dangers and no conflicts. Anyone who can enter this place can obtain the inheritance of a cultivation technique or martial skill."
The old man’s words immediately caused everyone’s eyes to burn with fervor.
The reason the Chaos Heaven Secret Realm had such great attraction to everyone was precisely because those who could enter Chaos Heaven Island would obtain an inheritance.
At the very least, such an inheritance would be a top-grade Earth Rank cultivation technique or martial skill. If one’s luck was good enough and their strength was high enough, they might even have a chance to obtain a Heaven Rank cultivation technique or martial skill.
Compared to this, although the immortal caves on Void Chaos Island contained many opportunities, their attraction was still far inferior.
