Chapter 116: Empress: Nie Chen’s Girlfriend… Is She Beautiful?

The Thunder Restraint contained countless thunderbolts, each of which seemed to hold infinite power.

Moreover, there were countless thunderbolts, too numerous to count.

The thunderous light in the sky seemed to engulf Nie Chen completely.

However, Nie Chen, who had taken the Lightning Resistance Pill, had developed an extremely strong resistance to lightning and was able to withstand it with his physical body.

Watching the terrifying thunderbolts strike Nie Chen, the disciples of the Heavenly Cloud Palace were all frightened.

However, they soon discovered that Nie Chen, who was withstanding the thunderbolts with his physical body, seemed to be unharmed.

“How is this possible? Senior Brother Nie, how did you do it?”

“Even our Great Elder couldn’t withstand such terrifying heavenly thunder with just his physical body!”

The disciples all looked on in disbelief.

Wang and Li, the two Great Elders, noticed Chu Qingyue’s presence and immediately bowed respectfully.

“Empress, Nie Chen’s actions are extremely reckless. Should we intervene and help him?”

“You don’t need to intervene. Although the power of the thunderbolts is terrifying, if he can withstand it, he will gain immense benefits.”

Chu Qingyue frowned slightly, looking up at the sky.

Even though she was willing to believe in Nie Chen, the thunderbolts were indeed not something that Nie Chen’s current cultivation level could handle.

If anything unexpected happened, she would intervene immediately.

“Yes, Empress.”

Li Changlao and Wang Changlao both nodded, still feeling a bit apprehensive.

“But Empress, what kind of thunderbolt is this? We’ve never seen anything like it before.”

“These thunderbolts might be related to the inheritance of the Leiyan Great Emperor.”

Chu Qingyue’s calm voice sent a chill down the spines of the two elders.

“Leiyan Great Emperor!”

They knew that the inheritance of such a powerful emperor would be terrifying.

Moreover, even the direct disciples of the Leiyan Great Emperor couldn’t inherit his true legacy.

How did Nie Chen, who had never come into contact with the Leiyan Valley’s techniques, understand the secrets hidden by the Leiyan Great Emperor?

Such comprehension was beyond their imagination.

Wang Changlao couldn’t help but sigh.

“Nie Chen is not only favored by women, but his talent and comprehension are also terrifying. He even has a beautiful girlfriend.”

Compared to Nie Chen, Wang Changlao felt like he had wasted his life.

Li Changlao was curious. “When did Nie Chen get a girlfriend? I didn’t know about it.”

Wang Changlao hesitated. “I accidentally revealed too much. Just pretend you didn’t hear it. But I did hear Nie Chen mention his girlfriend when we were drinking together.”

However, this was a secret that couldn’t be shared with the Empress.

“Damn it, Empress!”

Li Changlao and Wang Changlao were shocked when they turned around and saw Chu Qingyue standing silently behind them.

“We’re doomed!”

Wang Changlao’s face turned pale. “Empress, it was my mistake. I shouldn’t have spoken out of turn. Please punish me, but spare Nie Chen.”

Everyone in the Heavenly Cloud Palace knew that the Empress hated romantic relationships.

Exposing Nie Chen’s secret in front of the Empress would lead to severe punishment, even for a Great Elder.

However, Chu Qingyue surprised them.

“I’m in a good mood today, so I won’t punish you.”

But then she asked, “Tell me, what did Nie Chen say about his girlfriend?”

Li Changlao and Wang Changlao were stunned.

They never expected the Empress to ask such a question.

Wang Changlao quickly replied, “When Nie Chen mentioned his girlfriend, he praised her beauty and elegance. He said she was like a celestial being, gentle and kind, and that she was the most beautiful woman in the world.”

Chu Qingyue’s expression changed, and a hint of a smile appeared on her face.

“Nie Chen dared to break the rules of the Heavenly Cloud Palace and have a girlfriend. I will definitely punish him.”

But her tone was not convincing, and her smile betrayed her true feelings.

Just then, a loud thunderclap shook the air.

Nie Chen had withstood hundreds of thunderbolts, but this one was different.

It was a Nine-Turn Lightning Tribulation, and its power was far beyond anything that had come before.

“Leiyan Great Emperor’s inheritance actually includes a Nine-Turn Lightning Tribulation!”

Nie Chen finally became serious, punching out with all his might to meet the tribulation.

The resulting explosion sent shockwaves through the air, causing the surrounding disciples to stumble back.

They couldn’t imagine what would happen if they faced such a tribulation themselves.

Nie Chen, however, seemed unharmed, his clothes and hair only slightly singed.

He stood tall, facing the sky with a fierce determination.

“This is Senior Brother Nie? I wouldn’t be able to withstand such a tribulation even if I had the chance!”

“Damn it, Senior Brother Nie is not human! This is beyond common sense!”

The thunderbolts continued to fall, but Nie Chen punched them away with ease.

The Thunder Restraint seemed to be gathering its strength, preparing for a final, decisive blow.

“It’s not good! The Leiyan Great Emperor seems to have left a hidden trick. Even Nie Chen won’t be able to withstand this!”

Li Changlao and Wang Changlao cried out in alarm, and even Chu Qingyue was ready to intervene.

But just then, Nie Chen’s eyes snapped open, and a mysterious aura surrounded his body.

He had comprehended something.

“That’s… that’s the True Body of Enlightenment! How is this possible?”

Nie Chen had actually achieved the True Body of Enlightenment!

Everyone was shocked, stunned by this revelation.
