Sea of Thunder
Xiao Ming and his companions continued their rapid ascent through the stone gate like a streak of light. Their vision brightened instantly, and in the distance, countless Thunder Light Figures stood like sculptures, each holding a Bow of Thunder Light. At that moment, Thunder Arrow crackling with electricity were already drawn on the bowstrings.
Boom!
The Thunder Light Figures, resembling an army, loosened their grip, and space distorted as countless arrows of Lei Guangzhi, like a torrential rain, accompanied by destructive energy, hurtled forth.
The dense Thunder Arrows was like a sudden storm, but Xiao Ming was completely unaffected. These Lei Guangzhi arrows didn't even get close to them before they were all annihilated.
He swiftly leaped over the obstacle, and as he entered the silver circle behind the group of puppets, the puppets that had been activated fell silent once more.
Beyond the silver halo lay an extremely vast expanse of land, with numerous clusters of ruined palaces coming into view. The entire land was tinged with a gray hue, an Aura of decay permeating the air. The vicissitudes and antiquity mixed within it made it clear that this land had been devoid of life for a long time.
"Big brother, is this the Cave Mansion? It looks so dilapidated. What treasures could there be here?" Mu Lingshan muttered, looking at the ruined land with her big eyes.
Xiao Ming smiled and said, "Let's go, you'll find out soon enough."
He walked forward as he spoke, and the others followed closely behind.
The group continued forward until they arrived at a dilapidated plaza ruin. Thousands of figures sat cross-legged there, but they had all lost their breath. These were all powerful warriors who had died in battle when the Thunder Emperor's Cave Dwelling was attacked by Demonic Calamity, and some of them had now turned into Corpse Transformation.
With a flick of his sleeve, Xiao Ming sent a gentle breeze through the crowd, and the thousand figures vanished into ashes.
"Huh? There are still corpses over there that haven't been cleared away." Ying Huanhuan pointed ahead.
At the end of the square, eighteen withered figures still sat quietly in meditation, their bodies, despite the erosion of time, still showing no signs of decay.
The eighteen withered figures, who had already lost all life, suddenly opened their sunken eye sockets, and evil, chilling Black Flame leaped from their eyes, which then instantly swept out.
"The energy used by the Demonic Race is quite interesting; it can erode a person's body and will, enslaving them. It's different from the Devouring Tunling Clan, and leaving them here would be a great scourge."
Xiao Ming looked at the Demonic Corpse, a flame rose from his fingertip, and then flew out. The eighteen withered figures had also stood up and let out beast-like growls at Xiao Ming and the others. The Black Flame that filled their bodies boiled even more fiercely.
"Boom boom boom..."
A seven-colored streak swept past, and the withered figures exploded instantly. The originally boiling Black Flame were quickly devoured, and the wisps of dark Demonic Qi were also completely dissipated. Eighteen pitch-black pills Hovering Mid-air, and a trace of deathly aura emanated from them.
Xiao Ming waved his hand, and the eighteen Death Silence Pill fell into his palm. He then took a Jade Bottle, put it away, and tossed it to the three women behind him.
"This condensed Death Qi, accumulated from the cultivation of these withered corpses at the Death Xuan Realm, has now been compressed into Death Qi Death Silence Pill. These will be of immense benefit to your future attempts to break through to the Death Xuan Realm!"
Ying Huanhuan and the others quickly caught it.
Xiao Ming continued forward. Along the way, there were many plazas similar to the one he had just seen, and many corpses that had been corrupted by the Otherworldly Demonic Qi. However, they were all reduced to ashes by the Emperor Flame's Flame. The remaining Death Silence Pill were all given to Ying Huanhuan and the others.
As they ventured deeper, a massive mountain, roughly ten thousand feet tall, came into view. Like a giant, it stood across the landscape, its grandeur undiminished by the passage of time.
Boom!
At that moment, at the end of the mountain, a massive silver waterfall, thousands of feet long, roared down, crashing down with a thunderous roar that shook the heavens and the earth.
The silver waterfall is not ordinary water, but is formed by the convergence of viscous silvery Thunder Pulp, and the thunderous sound comes from it.
Below the mountain lies a lake of Thunder Pulp, also about ten thousand feet deep, extremely vast, with no end in sight.
Countless arcs of Lei Guang flashed within Thunder Lake, and streaks of Lei Guang flowed beneath the Thunder Pulp, making it appear as if some Ferocious Beast was lurking within.
"The cultivation resources on the Tian Xuan Continent are truly abundant."
Seeing this scene, Xiao Ming was also somewhat moved. Back in the Central Plains before he established the Heavenly Court, Thunder Mansion could be compared to the top forces in the Central Plains. However, the cultivation resources in front of him were not something that forces of the same level could obtain.
This may be due to the fact that the Tian Xuan Continent is younger than the Dou Qi Continent.
Suddenly, Xiao Ming's expression changed, and his gaze instantly turned to the depths of Thunder Lake, where ripples suddenly appeared on the surface of the lake, and a whirlpool slowly took shape.
As the vortex took shape, a ball of Lightning, roughly the size of a human head, slowly floated out. Within that ball of light, a silver heart could be faintly seen beating slowly, and with each beat of that silver heart, a deep rumble of thunder could be heard.
"Heart of Thunder..."
This Heart of Thunder, a rare and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures for body tempering, is nothing to him now. However, since he has seen it, there is no need to be polite. After all, he doesn't need it, but there are plenty of others who do.
Xiao Ming pressed down with his finger, and the entire lake instantly split in two, revealing an extremely large Thunder Rock Ravine. The ravine was bottomless, as if it connected to the depths of the earth. On the two walls of the ravine were countless stone caves, and in those caves, there seemed to be some Silver Corpse sitting cross-legged.
These corpses were once powerful beings within the Thunder Emperor's Cave Dwelling. Before their deaths, to prevent themselves from Corpse Transformation, they deliberately suppressed themselves into this Thunder Lake, using the Lightning Power to suppress the Otherworldly Demonic Qi within their bodies.
Xiao Ming unleashed countless Thunder from his hand, which swept towards the Silver Corpse. These lightning bolts surged wildly within its body, resembling miniature suns from afar.
Knock knock knock!
All the Silver Corpse suddenly exploded, and the instant their explosions dissipated all the Otherworldly Demonic Qi, a silver ball of light rose slowly, within which a silver heart beat gently.
This is the Heart of Thunder.
After collecting all the Heart of Thunder, Xiao Ming looked at the only remaining corpse.
The corpse was originally covered with countless Demonic Markings, making it completely black. But now Demonic Markings have disappeared, and the pupils, which were originally dark, have turned into a dazzling silver. Upon closer inspection, they seem to contain endless Thunder.
At this moment, the person seemed to regain his senses, but his expression was somewhat stiff, and his eyes were blank for a long time.
Then an overwhelming feeling of ecstasy welled up inside him, causing his body to tremble slightly, a testament to the excitement he felt.
"Thank you very much, senior."
The Silver Light Figure slowly rose and then bowed deeply to Xiao Ming with utmost solemnity, his words filled with deep gratitude and excitement.
"It came back to life?" Ying Huanhuan and the others were somewhat taken aback.
