"Boom!"
Above the sky, streaks of purple lightning flashed continuously, accompanied by booming sounds.
Even in the valleys below the sky, countless purple lightning bolts were everywhere.
These purple lightning bolts sprang from the void and then exploded within the space.
Inside the valley, besides the purple lightning, there were also giant beasts that looked like tigers.
These colossal tigers, their bodies crackling with lightning, varied in size; the larger they were, the more powerful their aura became.
With each breath, the giant tiger absorbed the purple lightning that suddenly appeared in the space.
With each wisp of purple lightning absorbed, his aura would subtly increase by one point.
Some enormous tiger-like beasts, with incredibly powerful auras, simply flew directly into the sky to absorb the purple lightning.
Ji Zining watched all this from outside the valley, a look of curiosity on her face.
"Is this the Extreme Thunder Valley?"
As he spoke, he reached out and touched the purple lightning that was emanating from the ground.
In an instant, a tingling sensation came over me, which was somewhat refreshing.
As Lin Shan had said, his physical cultivation had indeed improved slightly, albeit imperceptibly.
Lin Shan gazed at the colossal tiger in the sky and smiled excitedly.
"Great luck! So many Saint King Realm Lightning Spirit Beast! Looks like this is going to be a huge haul!"
Ji Zining and the others also looked up at the sky.
Those tiger-like behemoths that directly absorbed the lightning energy exuded an aura that clearly belonged to the Saint King Realm.
The strongest among them had even reached the Sixth Level of the Saint King Realm.
This level of combat power is something that most of the geniuses who entered the Martial Emperor Secret Realm this time are not to be trifled with.
Of course, this doesn't apply to Lin Shan.
Although Lin Shan's cultivation level was only at the Peak Second Level of the Saint King Realm, his combat strength had reached the Saint King Realm Seventh Layer Peak!
The Lightning Spirit Beast here posed absolutely no threat to him.
In Lin Shan's eyes, the Lightning Spirit Beast in the sky were all pieces of white Saint King Realm Lightning Crystal!
Ji Zining withdrew her gaze and shook her head slightly.
Her current combat strength is at the Fifth Level of the Saint King Realm. If she goes up to hunt Lightning Spirit Beast at the Sixth Level of the Saint King Realm, it will be a loss for her.
The Lightning Spirit Beast below, those at the Great Saint Realm and Saint Realm, are more suitable for her.
Currently, her physical cultivation is only at the Saint Manifestation Realm Fifth Layer, so the Lightning Crystal produced by these Great Saint Realm and Saint Realm Lightning Spirit Beast are more than enough for her.
Xiao Jing and Qingshuang glanced at Lin Shan and shook their heads speechlessly.
As expected, Lin Shan had planned this all along, but they couldn't say anything about it.
Because Ji Zining seems to genuinely like this place, and if Ji Zining likes it, there's nothing they can do about it.
After all, their mission this time was to help Ji Zining become stronger.
Just then, Xiao Jing seemed to sense something, and his gaze sharpened.
"I'm afraid we won't be so lucky; an uninvited guest has come knocking."
" Lin Shan, it's time to get to work."
Lin Shan's smile vanished, and he spoke with resentment.
"Which blind fools are bothering me—no, interrupting His Divine Son Hall's hunt for the Lightning Spirit Beast?"
"Get out here right now! Or I'll beat you out!"
After giving Qing Tan a slight nod, Qingshuang stepped forward and shielded Ji Zining behind her.
" Your Divine Son Hall, be careful."
Upon receiving the signal, Qing Tan came to Ji Zining's side, her spiritual energy surging, ready to make a move at any moment.
Ji Zining nodded slightly, her gaze fixed on a blank space.
There's something unusual about that space; the uninvited guest Xiao Jing mentioned who's looking for trouble is probably hiding inside.
What's this?
We just walked in and we're already being robbed?
It's just a mystery which faction's prodigy dared to set their sights on Xiao Jing and his group.
"Sarah!"
With a sound of space shattering, a group of figures emerged from the empty space that Ji Zining was looking at.
Among them, a man with an effeminate face gave a wicked smile.
"As expected of someone ranked twelfth on the Heavenly Pride Ranking, I thought we had hidden ourselves very well, but I didn't expect you to still find out."
Upon hearing this, Ji Zining's lips twitched involuntarily.
Well hidden?
How come I didn't notice?
I only have the spiritual cultivation of the Saint Realm, yet I was able to spot where you were hiding at a glance.
You guys didn't hide anything at all, did you?
Xiao Jing stared at the person who spoke, his smile fading slightly.
"I didn't expect that the Wuji Divine Sect and the Innate Dao Sect had already joined forces."
"But Mo Li, Qianxiao, do you think you can control us just because you have more people?"
"How utterly naive!"
The mocking voices echoed outside Extreme Thunder Valley, attracting the attention of many Lightning Spirit Beast.
However, sensing the powerful aura of Xiao Jing and the others, these Lightning Spirit Beast did not act rashly, but instead gathered together.
Ji Zining and the others paid no attention to their gathering; their current target was not them.
Ji Zining looked at the person who had just spoken, her expression hardening.
Is this Mo Li, one of the four holy sons of the Wuji Divine Sect?
Mo Li, ranked thirteenth on the Heavenly Pride Ranking, is only one place behind Xiao Jing. The two are evenly matched in terms of combat strength and cultivation.
The effeminate man Mo Li, shook his head.
"Of course I know that even with our numbers, we can't take you down."
"After all, one of you is Heavenly Pride Ranking Heavenly Pride Ranking, another is ranked eighteenth, and the third is Heavenly Pride Ranking thirty-ninth."
"Faced with such a formidable lineup, apart from Qianxiao and me, no one can pose a threat to you."
At this point, Mo Li a strange smile.
"But when did I say it was just the two of us?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a sharp glint flashed and disappeared in the air.
Sensing this sharp edge, Ji Zining hardened.
Without a second thought, the Void-Soaring Sword appeared in his hand, and then he drew it from its sheath.
"Clang!"
" Heaven-Slaying Sword-Drawing Technique!"
An unparalleled sword beam flew out from the Void-Soaring Sword, colliding with the sharpness in the space.
"Bite!"
"Sizzle!"
The two collide and cancel each other out.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Jing lowered his raised hand, revealing a look of amazement.
Ji Zining's sword strike was incredibly fast!
It was so fast that he didn't even have time to make a move before Ji Zining's sword was already outstretched.
"Slap! Slap! Slap!"
"As expected of a prodigy who obtained half of the True Martial Dao Domain's fortune, such exquisite supernatural abilities and such swift reactions truly impress me!"
Amidst applause, a man in a straw hat carrying a long sword emerged from another space.
Beneath the straw hat, a smile of undisguised amazement graced her face.
" Your Divine Son Hall of the Ziwei Holy Land, let me introduce myself. I am Li Chang'an, a sword cultivator!"
