The Thunder Emperor Scepter

"No, although the Demonic Markings in his body have been erased, the trace of his consciousness that had been sealed for a thousand years has also been freed, but it won't last long before it vanishes." Xiao Ming shook his head, denying Ying Huanhuan's statement.

"Dissipate?"

Ying Huanhuan somewhat puzzled, "Wasn't the Otherworldly Demonic Qi within this senior's body erased? How could it dissipate? The lifespan of the Death Xuan Realm expert must be incredibly long."

The lifespan of the powerful beings in the Tian Xuan Continent is also much longer than that in the Dou Qi Continent. Although the Thunder Mansion was destroyed a thousand years ago, it is not a problem for a Death Xuan Realm expert to live for a thousand years. Logically speaking, this expert should still be alive.

"Heh, my current consciousness is merely a wisp of a remnant soul. Sealed for a thousand years, it's already the limit. If it weren't for the lingering obsession in my heart, I might have already been lost under the corrosive influence of that Otherworldly Demonic Qi."

The Silver Light Figure smiled and explained, his voice unusually carefree, suggesting that he was already extremely satisfied to have escaped that corrosive state.

"No matter what, I have been dead for a thousand years. Now that I have regained my senses, even if only for a brief moment, I am already content. Why should I ask for anything more?"

"Those brothers from back then are all turned to dust now, and I have no desire to live on."

Ying Huanhuan hearing the words of the Silver Light Figure, Ying Huanhuan and the others fell silent for a moment. The latter's mindset had already transcended life and death, something that they, at their teenage years, could not possibly achieve.

"What's your name?" Xiao Ming asked.

"Zuo Fei." The Silver Light Figure smiled, then said, "With your strength, you've come to the Thunder Mansion, surely to seek the Thunder Ancestral Symbol?"

Xiao Ming nodded.

"Thunder Ancestral Symbol!"

Zuo Fei's eyes showed a hint of nostalgia as he said softly, "Back then, Thunder Emperor did indeed obtain the Thunder Ancestral Symbol, but it was precisely because of this that my Thunder Mansion was targeted by those Otherworldly Demons. For this, they dispatched one King Rank demon, two General-Rank Otherworldly Demons, and quite a few Commander Rank demons as well."

"Although the King-Rank Otherworldly Demon was eventually sealed, Lord Thunder Emperor paid the price with his life." At this point, Zuo Fei's expression darkened considerably.

"Is the Thunder Ancestral Symbol still in the Cave Mansion?" Upon hearing the words "Ancestral Symbols, "Mu Lingshan became lively again.

"Um."

Zuo Fei nodded and said, "If I'm not mistaken, the Thunder Ancestral Symbol should be in the Thunder Realm. That's a space created by the Thunder Emperor, and no one but him can enter it unless you have the key."

"So you need a key to enter the Thunder Realm?" Ying Huanhuan frowned slightly. She had been following Xiao Ming all along, but she had never seen a key before.

Zuo Fei glanced at Xiao Ming, hesitated slightly, and said, "With this senior's strength, he shouldn't need a key. Deep within the Cave Mansion, at its center, lies the Thunder Hall, the most central location of this Cave Mansion, and the entrance to the Thunder Realm is also located there."

"Hehehe, I knew big brother was amazing!" Upon hearing this, Mu Lingshan looked at Xiao Ming with great admiration.

"Senior's realm is indeed profound. Even with my strength, I cannot sense the deep dive. I don't think any danger in the central core would be a problem for him."

Zuo Fei smiled, and suddenly, brilliant Lei Guang flashed within his body, and a faint, extremely violent fluctuation slowly emanated from him.

"Hehe, I am grateful to this senior for allowing me to regain my senses. I have no way to repay such a great kindness, so I can only offer this crippled body as a token of my gratitude."

As Zuo Fei's body shone brightly, a Heart of Thunder, about ten feet in size, gradually condensed and took shape within the light. The Lightning Power it possessed was undoubtedly far more powerful than anything he had obtained before.

"Sigh..." Xiao Ming sighed as he watched Zuo Fei disappear.

Zuo Fei has been dead for too long, and his soul level is not high. He only barely retains his consciousness because of the Corroding Demonic Seal of that Otherworldly Demons. He really doesn't have any other way, otherwise he would definitely have rescued him. He still admires people with strong will.

However, the laws of life and death in the Tian Xuan Continent are different from those in the Dou Qi Continent. Tian Xuan Continent has Reincarnation, so at least Zuo Fei did not completely disappear and will have another life.

Deep within the Thunder Mansion lies a vast expanse of silver land, stretching as far as the eye can see. On the ground, streaks of Thunder can be clearly seen slithering like snakes, resembling a magnificent Sea of Lightning from afar.

This land of Sea of Lightning is covered with deep ravines, which are about ten thousand feet long and bottomless. Moreover, they are strangely shaped and do not look like they were formed naturally. This is the most crucial battlefield of the Battle of Thunder Mansion, the battlefield where the Thunder Emperor fought against the King-Rank Otherworldly Demon.

Xiao Ming glanced at the battlefield ruins, then looked up at the sky. Thick thunderclouds hung in the sky above this land, and a vast wave of energy emanated from them.

Above the thunderclouds, a magnificent and indescribable Thunder palace stood silently. Several figures slowly ascended to the front of this Thunder Hall. Xiao Ming gently pushed out with his palm, and the Thunder Hall, which had been sealed for countless years, burst open with a roar.

Three beams of silver light shot out the instant the Thunder Hall opened, like three bolts of destructive Thunder tearing through the sky. Their primary target was naturally Xiao Ming, who had opened the Thunder Hall.

These were three figures, entirely silver in color, covered with dark and evil Demonic Markings. Streams of malevolent and powerful black energy emanated from them, causing the temperature of the surrounding area to drop significantly.

These are three former experts at the peak of the Perfected Death Xuan Realm, who, along with Zuo Fei, were known as the Four Great Thunder Kings under the Thunder Emperor. They too were corrupted by the Otherworldly Demonic Qi and turned into puppets.

With a wave of his hand, Xiao Ming sent three flames into the bodies of the three puppets. As the dark Aura dissipated, the flames were extinguished. Three beams of spiritual light emerged from the three figures, and the three puppets turned to ashes and vanished into the world.

Continuing onward, after entering the Thunder Hall, we headed straight for the main hall. The Thunder Hall was extremely vast, appearing to be about ten thousand feet high. Standing within it, one felt as small as an ant. Its grandeur and magnificence inspired a sense of awe.

Inside the main hall, there were rows of huge stone pillars. At the top of the pillars, some orbs of light flickering with Lei Guang floated. Within these orbs, scrolls and weapons could be vaguely seen. These were all powerful Spirit Treasure and Martial Arts, which attracted Ying Huanhuan, Mu Lingshan, and Qing Tan.

Xiao Ming's gaze did not linger on these orbs of light at all, but instead locked onto a Stone Statue about a hundred feet tall at the deepest part of the main hall.

The Stone Statue holds a silver scepter in its right hand, from which Lei Guang continuously flows, creating a dazzling spectacle. The powerful energy subtly emanating from the scepter also reveals its extraordinary nature.

With a wave of his hand, the scepter appeared in his grasp, and immediately burst forth with brilliant silver Thunder. The Thunder quickly disappeared, as if it had been subdued.

"The Thunder Emperor Scepter is a decent weapon, but it's useless against me."

Xiao Ming gently waved the Thunder Scepter again, and ten thousand bolts of Thunder roared out, intertwining and swirling around him, yet without harming others.

At this moment, he was like an emperor wielding Thunder, walking amidst Lightning.

With a slight tap, the Thunder Emperor Scepter unleashed a bolt of Thunder, its target the Thunder Emperor Statue before it.

The Lei Guang struck the Stone Statue, causing it to shimmer with silver light. Then, the space around the Stone Statue's chest slowly distorted, as if a Space Vortex was gradually taking shape.

Upon closer inspection, one could see arcs of lightning leaping within the Space Vortex, and an ancient and vast aura emanated from it, faintly visible.

"This should be the Thunder Realm. You all stay here, collect the treasures for yourselves, and I'll go in and come back later."

Xiao Ming looked at the Space Vortex, gripped the Thunder Emperor Scepter, and slowly walked towards it. He entered the Space Vortex amidst the continuous Thunder roar and disappeared completely from the Thunder Hall.
