Rumble!
A thunderous roar rang out as massive silver thunder snakes emerged from the thunderclouds, endlessly weaving through them. Accompanied by peals of deafening thunder, they exuded an overwhelming sense of pressure.
Inside the bamboo building, the Gold Devouring Ant Queen let out a low hiss. Tens of thousands of Gold Devouring Ants crawled out from beneath the building, swarming toward the Gold Devouring Ant Queen.
They crawled over the Gold Devouring Ant Queen, wrapping her completely within their ranks. From afar, she looked like an enormous lump of gold.
A tremendous clap of thunder sounded, and a large hole split open in the bamboo building's eaves. A thick bolt of Silver Lightning shot through the opening into the building and struck the Gold Devouring Ant Queen.
Rumble!
With an earth-shattering blast, the entire bamboo building exploded. Blinding silver light engulfed the Gold Devouring Ant Queen, while the powerful shockwave blew half the bamboo building away.
This was only the beginning. The thunderclouds high above churned violently like boiling water, and fierce winds sprang up. Many exotic flowers and rare herbs were planted on Azure Lotus Peak; as the gale swept past, they swayed wildly from side to side.
Thunder boomed continuously in the sky as thick bolts of Silver Lightning descended from above, striking the spot where the bamboo building stood. Dazzling lightning shrouded the entire courtyard, sending dust flying everywhere.
Wang Changsheng stood atop the wall of a small courtyard roofed with blue tiles, looking toward the courtyard where the Gold Devouring Ant Queen was.
A clear phoenix cry rang out as the Thunder Phoenix flew over from afar, with Wang Qingling seated on its back.
"Uncle, how is it going?"
Wang Qingling asked, her face full of anticipation.
She did not know of the Townsea Ape's existence.
