"So this is Thunder Valley...?"

Mu Yang dismounted, and as his inner energy surged, he used his palm to smooth out Xiao Hei's bristling mane.

"Wait for me outside."

After all, Xiao Hei was only at the late stage of the third rank. Given the power of the lightning above Thunder Valley, if he were to be hit even once, he would probably be 80% dead.

After finding a secluded corner for Xiao Hei, Mu Yang turned and stepped into the valley.

As soon as he entered, Mu Yang felt the concentration of lightning in the air suddenly increase.

Crackling arcs of electricity appeared out of nowhere and began to move around his body, much like the static electricity that rubbed against clothes in the autumn of his previous life.

However, the power of static electricity now is much greater than that of static electricity in the previous life.

Mu Yang reached out and felt it.

For a martial artist who hasn't cultivated true qi, the static electricity alone is enough to cause their skin to bleed and tear. If they stay there a little longer, they'll probably become a familiar face to the public.

Fortunately, Mu Yang was advancing to the rank of Domain Seeker and received a higher-grade uniform from the Demon Slayer Division.

Otherwise, he might have to revert to his original state as a newborn in no time.

"It's really noisy in here."

After walking several miles into the valley, Mu Yang clearly felt that the thunder was louder in his ears.

It's hard to imagine that any living thing could survive for decades amidst the constant, deafening earthquakes.

They must have been deafened by the loud noise!

"Buzz—!!"

Just as Mu Yang was sighing, a subtle ripple suddenly came from above.

Mu Yang instinctively dodged to the side, moving dozens of meters away from his original position.

Immediately afterwards, a blinding purple bolt of lightning descended from the sky, striking the very spot where he had just been standing.

"boom!!"

The ground was instantly blasted into a three-foot-deep crater, with debris flying everywhere and arcs of electricity flashing.

"Is the attack range that far?"

Mu Yang frowned slightly and looked up at the sky.

With his spiritual strength of thirty cups, he could usually sense a range of about three kilometers.

However, in the complex environment of Thunder Valley, where lightning flashed and thunder roared, his range of perception was greatly compressed.

Now only about one kilometer remains.

After the purple lightning arrived, he didn't even sense the presence of any demonic creature.

In other words, the Purple Lightning Bat Demon ambushed him from at least a kilometer away.

"The intelligence was right, this monster really is the sixth one!"

Mu Yang considered himself to have seen quite a few demons, but this was the first time he had ever seen one that could attack without him noticing.

Just then, another purple light flashed in the sky.

"boom--!!"

Thick, long purple lightning bolts, like dancing electric snakes, lunged at Mu Yang.

Mu Yang dodged again, avoiding the lightning strike.

The power of this purple lightning strike wasn't particularly exaggerated; at most, it was only at the late stage of the sixth rank.

However, judging from the intelligence records, this should only be the basic attack method of that purple lightning bat demon.

Logically speaking, with its late-stage sixth-order cultivation, even with the support of the Thunder Valley environment, it shouldn't be able to unleash a lightning strike of this power.

"Has your cultivation level improved...?"

Mu Yang thought to himself.

If nothing unexpected happens, this purple lightning bat demon should have reached the sixth-order perfect level.

It should be noted that although demons have long lifespans, their cultivation level increases very slowly.

In just a few years, the Purple Lightning Bat Demon has risen from the late stage of the sixth rank to the perfect stage of the sixth rank.

"boom--!!"

As Mu Yang pondered, another bolt of purple lightning struck down.

"No wonder those evil-suppressing generals couldn't do anything about it. No matter how high their cultivation level is, it's all for naught if they can't find the target."

Mu Yang lightly touched the ground with his feet, easily dodging the incoming purple lightning.

Almost simultaneously, his inner energy surged, and a dazzling golden light suddenly shone in his deep black eyes.

Entry - Insightful Analysis!

In an instant, Mu Yang's eyes seemed to be equipped with the most advanced telescope, greatly increasing his field of vision.

Even the tiny arcs of electricity in the thunderclouds on the horizon were clearly visible.

Suddenly, Mu Yang's gaze locked onto a thick layer of clouds.

A dark purple shadow, indistinct in the clouds, resembled a bat.

"Found you!"

Mu Yang grinned, and a powerful gust of wind surged around him, sending pebbles flying from his feet.

In the next instant, a pair of shimmering golden wings unfolded from its back, staining the dark earth with a dazzling glitter of gold.

Entry: Golden Wings!

"Whoosh—!!"

With a flap of its wings, Muyang rose from the ground and soared straight into the sky.

..................

Meanwhile, within the thunderclouds.

A giant bat is hidden in the clouds.

Its wingspan is four zhang (approximately 13 meters), and unlike the smooth skin of ordinary bats, its entire body is covered with dark purple short hairs, with lightning occasionally dancing in its fur.

A triangular head with eyes so small they are almost invisible.

A pair of wide, round ears, like radar, twitched left and right from time to time.

It was none other than the overlord of Thunder Valley—the Purple Lightning Bat Demon—who had repelled countless Seekers from the Demon Slayer Division.

"Finally, another naive newbie has entered the valley!"

The purple lightning bat demon hid behind the thunderclouds high in the sky, its large mouth wide open, revealing a mouthful of fangs.

Since it made a name for itself, Thunder Valley has been free of powerful outsiders for many years.

Occasionally, some creatures would wander in, but they were all low-ranking monsters.

He hadn't seen a human martial artist as full of energy as he was today for many years.

"Let's cook it to medium-rare. That way the meat will be firm and chewy, and the sound it makes while eating will be more satisfying!"

As the purple lightning bat demon pondered, it channeled its demonic energy, preparing to unleash another lightning strike.

However, just as it continued to use its ears to receive radio waves to determine Mu Yang's location, it suddenly realized that the target that had just been on the ground was now soaring into the sky and rapidly approaching it.

"???"

The purple lightning bat demon was taken aback.

At that speed, and with the ability to fly, could it be that the one who came wasn't a human martial artist, but a transformed eagle demon or a half-demon?

The Purple Lightning Bat Demon was somewhat bewildered, but now that it had made its move, it would not let the matter rest, no matter who the opponent was.

"Whether you're human or demon, once you've come to Thunder Valley, you're staying here!"

Without hesitation, the Purple Lightning Bat Demon flapped its large, short-haired bat wings.

Demon Blood Spell - Lightning Wings!

The arcs of electricity that had been dancing among the short feathers on its bat wings suddenly transformed into a dense purple lightning bolt, like flames being blown by a blower.

Lightning enveloped the wing membrane, causing it to burst into extremely high speeds in an instant.

In the blink of an eye, its figure vanished from the spot.

When it reappeared, it was already in front of Mu Yang.

Demon Blood Spell - Thunder Claw!

A piercing, bird-like cry erupted from the Purple Lightning Bat Demon's claws, and with a whoosh, it lunged at Mu Yang.

"Well done!"

Seeing this, Mu Yang was not surprised but delighted, and threw a punch.

Indestructible Vajra Body, activated!

Entry: Golden Claw, activated!

A radiant golden light, almost tangible, suddenly shone brightly in the dark clouds.

The Purple Lightning Bat Demon, whose eyesight was almost nonexistent, was completely unaffected and swung its Thunder Claws at full power to meet the attack head-on.

"Bang!"

A deafening roar erupted, sending shockwaves surging and tearing through the clouds, briefly bringing the thunderstorm area to a standstill.

The Purple Lightning Bat Demon never expected that a mere human martial artist would possess such strength, and was instantly blasted away by a single punch.

He tumbled several times in the air before barely managing to regain his balance.

Its once sharp claws were now twisted, and thick purple blood dripped from mid-air.
