Thunder Continent

The Thunder Continent is a continent in the Spirit Realm. It is a large continent in comparison to other continents in the realm. The continent is home to the super races of the spirit realm. The continent is always in a state of turmoil as the various super powers are locked into perpetual conflict. 
The resources of the continent are able to support the growth of super powers. Unlike other continents, the Thunder Continent has a regularly occurring event that enables the races on the continent the ability to groom more Holy Race (Body Integration) stage beings. Races use badges the appear randomly on the continent to open passageways into Vast Glacial Realm where Spiritual Energy is abundant and can be exploited to break through bottlenecks.
== Politics and Conflict ==
The continent is home to several super powers such as the Sea Monarch Race, the Jiao Chi Race and the Night Race. It is also home to several smaller races. Expansion by the powerful races results in enslavement or extinction of the smaller races. As a result, many smaller races band together to form a combined super-power. One example of this is the Heavenly Cloud Races which is an alliance of 13 smaller races that is in direct confrontation with the Jiao Chi. Super powers that are evenly matched in strength will often form non aggression packs such as the arrangement between the Sea Monarch Race and the Jiao Chi.
==== Flame Coral Islands ====
The thunder continent has numerous islands nearby the continent. One such group of islands are the Flame Coral Islands. The resources on the islands are scarcer, but sufficient to groom Upper-Race (Deity Transformation) stage beings. Occasionally a 6th-tier Upper Race (Spatial Tempering) stage cultivator will appear on the islands. Typically weaker races migrate from the Thunder Continent to these islands to escape extinction from the stronger races. Due to an incident, the Flame Coral Islands were cutoff from the Thunder Continent when the sole teleportation formation was destroyed.
== Notable Historical Events ==
==== Gold Devouring Beetles incident ====
A swarm of over 10,000+ Gold Devouring Beetles appeared on the continent and began devouring their surroundings. Four minor races were consumed by the beetles before a super-power of the continent acted to prevent a further catastrophe. The beetles themselves could not be destroyed or contained. Instead, a Profound Heavenly Treasure called the Heaven Vanquishing Hammer was used to banish the beetles from the Spirit Realm by forcefully ripping open a spatial rift. This incident is one of the reasons why mature beetles are feared throughout the realm.
