Chapter 1626 - Lightning Abyss
Inside Lightning Abyss, there was a piece of rock that disappeared with a flash!
Shi Hao’s mind was jumping, extremely shocked. He stared at it carefully, making sure he didn’t see incorrectly!
It was dull gray, the stone material ancient, carrying the aura of endless time past. It wasn’t that large or small, about a zhang in length, flying through the lightning.
“I see it! It is extremely similar, extremely lifelike!” Sanzang said to himself. He stared into the depths of the lightning radiance.
As for Shenming, her small mouth formed an ‘o’ shape, her head of red hair shining, large eyes flickering with astonishing brilliance, concentrated on the lightning inside the abyss.
He actually saw this type of thing! Shi Hao felt like something wasn’t quite right. What kind of place was this exactly?
“It disappeared! We need to continue to watch carefully!” Sanzang said.
Naturally, none of them moved rashly, all three of them extremely cautious, seriously on guard. It was because they knew that this place was too dangerous. They all looked into the Lightning Abyss.
Honglong!
Millions and millions of streaks of lightning erupted, striking outwards, carrying thunder radiance. It was absolutely deafening, power extremely great, making this entire world tremble.
Sure enough, they saw it again.
It was a gray-colored stone material, carrying a simple and ancient aura, but the most brilliant radiance was released from within, shocking to the extreme. It shone in all directions, as if it was going to tear apart the heavens.
Lightning pool!
There was no mistake. This time, they saw it clearly. This was a lightning pool, all of the lightning were flying out from over there.
Shi Hao had seen it before, just not this big. He had even obtained one before himself, this alone already extremely rarely seen. At the time, everyone in Imperial Pass was stunned.
Of course, that time, he almost died, capturing the lightning pool with great difficulty, he himself seriously injured, almost dying.
This time, he actually encountered the lightning pool again. What kind of place was this?
There was no one facing tribulation at all, yet a lightning pool appeared, moving about in the depths of the Lightning Abyss.
As for the two Golden Undead Knights, they naturally felt that it was strange, deeply shocked. It was because they clearly sensed that the lightning pool was a tangible thing, not a void projection.
When some people faced tribulation, a pool would appear in the lightning punishment. However, it definitely couldn’t be brought away!
In reality, the lightning pool in heavenly tribulation was normally believed to not be a tangible thing, but rather a projection.
After all these years, Shi Hao was perhaps the only one in Imperial Pass who was a rather special case, capturing a true pool.
“That is…”
“There are more!”
“Not just one!”
The three individuals’ eyes contracted, staring into the Lightning Abyss.
They had a feeling before, vaguely seeing one or two shadows. Now, it really was confirmed, this place having more than a single lightning pool.
The second lightning pool appeared. It was black-colored, three square feet in size, not as big as the first, but the lightning it erupted with was even more terrifying and shocking.
It was one of a kind!
This type of scenery had never been seen before. At the very least, they never saw it before.
How could two lightning pools appear at once?
This type of thing has never been seen even in the bone books.
Even the Pride of Heaven who crossed heavenly tribulation never saw two true pools at the same time. Normally speaking, only one would appear, and it couldn’t be made to stay.
When two were seen, one was definitely a void image.
Moreover, even the one that did appear might not necessarily be real, possibly only a projection.
Yet now, they had a feeling that the two were both real, not the so-called void pools.
“Too strange!” Shenming said softly, her normally charming appearance replaced by seriousness, carrying an ice-cold aura. She really found this somewhat hard to believe.
As Golden Undead Knights, they didn’t like lightning, but they had to face it, which was why they deeply understood this type of thing. However, what they knew normally didn’t match up with what they were seeing.
“A third one!”
Another lightning pool appeared, rushing out from the Lightning Abyss. It was silvery-white in color, rather beautiful, releasing flickering white light, piercing through the void.
It was six square feet in size, carrying a terrifying aura, releasing endless streaks of light.
Every single streak of radiance was lightning, containing terrifying destructive power, carrying a destructive aura.
Shi Hao, Sanzang, and Shenming were a bit stunned. There were three lightning pools, wasn’t this something straight out of a fantasy story? Why would they appear together at the same time?
They originally thought that two lightning pools appearing together was already sinister, but now, it seemed like it was a lot more absurd!
The Lightning Abyss was giant, a sea of lightning surging. When the three lightning pools appeared, they were submerged under lightning again, becoming faintly discernible.
Looking at it from the distance, they were like three sharks moving about, their dorsal fins exposed on the surface, moving fiercely underwater!
The three of them looked at each other in dismay. Just what kind of place did they end up in? Why did they see three lightning pools?!
Could it be that this place was the source of lightning, that all lightning came from this place?
This… was unimaginable. If it really was the source, then the origins were terrifyingly shocking!
Was this the place of heavenly punishment?
Sea of lightning tribulation, just how did it take form?
If this was real, what did this represent? Was this the place where those from the heavens resided, or was it something else, perhaps even having other secrets?
The three of them were all a bit dizzy, great waves surging within their minds!
Shenming rubbed her temples with her hands, feeling a headache, their scalps going numb. This place was too strange, and also extremely dangerous.
“We… should we withdraw?”
If this continued, their hidden cultivation levels might be exposed. There would be intense lightning that descends, forcing them to cross tribulation.
“Don’t tell me that the heavenly tribulation that disappeared after Immortal Ancient Great Era all gathered here, lurking in this Lightning Abyss?!” Shi Hao said to himself. He felt that there was a huge chance of this being the case.
Otherwise, after a great era had passed, why didn’t the heavenly tribulation that ought to happen appear? Where did it all go?
This place had this type of Lightning Abyss, even having true lightning pools submerged within, appearing from time to time. Don’t tell me this still wasn’t enough proof?
“Where could we go? There’s no way out even if we go back, no true transport formation to take us back, which is why we always headed forward, finding this place.” Sanzang said.
Not long afterwards, in the lightning abyss, divine light surged. A blood-colored lightning pool appeared. It was ten zhang in length, within it blood-colored multicolored light gushing out. There were actually waves of bloody auras rushing out.
“This lightning pool…”
It resembled a blood pool, as if it could devour the essence blood of all living things, extremely terrifying.
Of course, this was just what it seemed to be like. As for what it really was like, they had no idea.
This was the fourth lightning pool, moreover one that was extremely large, aura boundless, extremely intimidating. If it erupted, then it could definitely blast all creatures to ashes.
They all felt their hearts begin to pound just from looking at it from afar, making it hard for their souls to find peace.
There were so many lightning pools, all of them gathered together, it was just too heaven-defying, leaving them speechless, completely stupefied.
What kind of terrifying place was this?!
“Do you all feel that these great pools have rare Lightning Tribulation Liquid?” Shenming suddenly asked.
This type of pool, if they had Lightning Tribulation Liquid, then it would definitely be priceless.
“There is some!” Shi Hao said decisively. The one he obtained back then already had this liquid, such a small one already having this kind of natural luck, let alone these giant ones.
“They should have. Just now, I seemed to have seen something sparkle within the lightning pool. It is definitely Lightning Tribulation Liquid!” Sanzang also nodded in agreement.
“What should we do? There is no path back, the road ahead blocked. How are we going to return?” Shenming sighed.
“The path ahead is cut off, but there might be opportunity for life inside this Lightning Abyss.” Shi Hao said.
“Perhaps! Lightning tribulation represents destruction, but it also contains exuberant life force, for example, that Lightning Tribulation Liquid. Meanwhile, the Lightning Abyss represents death, but it might also carry a path of life.” Shenming revealed a strange expression.
Hong!
Inside the Lightning Abyss, lightning pools appeared at the same time, erupting with heaven reaching radiance, making that place erupt. The entire sea of lightning seemed to be collapsing.
“New life within destruction!” Sanzang said quietly. Then, he suddenly raised his head, looking into the bottomless Lightning Abyss.
They all long opened their heavenly eyes, carefully staring.
At this time, the lightning pools erupted all at once, lightning ferocious, tearing through that place. When some of the lightning disappeared, they saw some scenes within the abyss.
“There really is a path!”
They were shocked. A small cobblestone path extended out in the void, leading into the depths of the Lightning Abyss.
What was the meaning of this?
Was there really a hint of life amidst the destruction, leaving behind a path?
Was this something left behind by the ancient people, or was it really a path naturally created by the world?
In that instant, they produced endless associations, feeling greatly shaken up. All of this was too strange.
Only, they also saw that in the depths of the lightning, below the lightning pools, accompanying that small alley was a large lightning pool!
It was a hundred zhang in diameter, surging with immortal light, accompanied by lightning, the terrifying aura making one shiver in fear.
“There is a path! There is no need to think too much, we just need to go forward!” Shenming said, right now surprisingly decisive.
“We have to take a look, see just where it leads to!” Sanzang nodded.
“Life force in destruction, there really is a path hidden within. It seems like we have no choice but to take it.” Shi Hao released a light sigh.
