Inside the Lightning Pool passage, Xiao Yan and his companions were flying forward at top speed.
During the flight, Xiao Yan would occasionally glance with a slightly curious look at the massive lightning pillars surrounding the group.
Those thick bolts of lightning shot out from there, like soldiers guarding this world filled with thunder.
Thick bolts of lightning, like giant pythons, coiled around Xiao Yan and his companions. At such close range, Xiao Yan could clearly sense the terrifying aura emanating from the lightning.
Xiao Yan's expression turned solemn. At its closest, the lightning was only inches away from him. It was unimaginable what would happen if he were to encounter it.
"Ignore it and keep going. Soon we'll be out of its protective range."
Gu Li's expression also became somewhat cautious. Even though she was already in the Lightning Pool passage, it was even more dangerous. Once touched by that lightning, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan nodded somewhat stiffly, but unconsciously, his speed increased considerably. The lightning seemed to follow them closely, never leaving their side.
"Hehe, don't worry, there's no need to be too nervous. This lightning is just the outer protective force, so it's quite powerful. But once we get to the deeper part of the Lightning Pool, it will be safe there. As long as we don't enter the core area of Lightning Pool, you can rest assured."
Chi Lin was naturally quite bold, and his understanding of thunder allowed him to face it without any fear.
Upon hearing Chi Lin's words, Xiao Yan raised an eyebrow and asked:
"Shouldn't the core of the Lightning Pool be the place where the power of thunder is most concentrated and pure? Why can't we enter it?"
Chi Lin nodded, then immediately shook his head, frowning as he said:
"The power of thunder deep within the Lightning Pool is indeed pure and powerful, but precisely because of this, its destructive force is incomparable to that of the outer Lightning Pool. Moreover, as the core of the entire Lightning Pool, its protective power is terrifying. Not to mention us, even someone like Mu Han wouldn't dare to approach it."
Xiao Yan nodded again to show he understood, and the others gradually fell silent. Unconsciously, they were getting closer and closer to the end of the passage...
As a burst of white light enveloped their bodies, Xiao Yan and the other three couldn't help but close their eyes. When they opened them again, Xiao Yan was shocked by the scene before him.
This truly is a world belonging to thunder!
When Xiao Yan opened his eyes, the scene before him was an extremely vast ocean of lightning. Countless silver lightning bolts, like giant snakes, darted swiftly through the sea of lightning. The booming thunder echoed continuously, and even people standing at a distance could only feel a tremor in their hearts.
"The power of lightning here is indeed extremely strong; no wonder even Half-Emperor yearn for it."
Xiao Yan gazed excitedly at the vast sea of lightning, feeling a sense of awe at the scene before him.
Although the lightning power here is not as terrifying as the Pill Lightning he unleashed when refining Emperor Grade Pill that day, it surpasses it in the sheer number of lightning bolts. In a true comparison, the lightning here is even more terrifying.
"Now is not the time to rush into a breakthrough. Let's find those guys first. If we miss the opportunity and can't find them, it will be troublesome to fight them later."
Gu Li reminded him in a low voice.
As soon as Gu Li spoke, Xiao Yan immediately came to his senses, nodded to Gu Li, and then looked at Qin Zhong on the other side, smiling:
"Brother Qin, you should find a safe place to cultivate first. We still have to deal with those guys from Mo Zhai. We'll probably only see each other again after we get out of here. I also hope you can break through to a higher level. I'll have something to ask of you then."
Upon hearing this, Qin Zhong's face showed a hint of worry. The enemy Xiao Yan was about to face was vastly different from before— Nine-Star Half-Emperor, an existence that Eight-Star Half-Emperor could never compare to. Although Xiao Yan was not weak, he was ultimately only a Three-Star Half-Emperor...
In the end, Qin Zhong nodded heavily, said nothing more, cupped his hands in greeting to the three people in front of him, and then turned and flew swiftly towards a certain direction of the Lightning Pool.
At this moment, his only option was to ensure his own safety so as not to cause trouble for Xiao Yan and the others.
Seeing Qin Zhong's departing figure, Xiao Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, he didn't have high expectations for the battle with Mo Zhai and the others. After all, Nine-Star Half-Emperor was not just a title.
As for Gu You, he believed that Gu You would not make a move this time. Therefore, in any case, he could only rely on himself and the two people beside him in this great battle.
"Let's go, the time has come. It's time to witness the power of Nine-Star Half-Emperor."
As Xiao Yan turned around, he said something in a solemn tone, and with a swift movement, he first chased after a certain direction.
When Xiao Yan first appeared at the Lightning Pool, he vaguely saw Mo Zhai and his group entering the Lightning Pool, so he could roughly figure out their direction and location.
Following closely behind, Gu Li and Chi Lin exchanged a glance, then their gazes fell on Xiao Yan. After a deep look, they slowly withdrew their gazes and quickly followed.
A moment later, within the Void Lightning Pool, eight figures split into two groups, gazing at each other.
"Gagaga... You have a path to heaven but choose not to, you have no way to hell but insist on coming here to die!"
Mo Zhai looked at Xiao Yan and the other two standing opposite him with a mocking smile. He didn't expect that these three guys would be so bold. They had only just entered the Void Lightning Pool, yet they had already come to challenge them to a fight.
"I really didn't expect you to be so bold, kid. Are you trying to take advantage of us before we break through and go all out...?"
Mu Han sneered at Xiao Yan and the other two, his face full of disdain.
"I originally intended to let you live a little longer, but since you insist on courting death, then you can't blame me."
The three people in front of him, Xiao Yan and his companions, would be met with disdain not only by Mu Han but also by Yan Bing.
Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes, staring intently at Mu Han, his expression slightly grave. After a long while, he finally spoke slowly and calmly:
To dismiss your opponent before the battle even begins is either incredibly confident or utterly foolish.
Mu Han stared intently at Xiao Yan, his gaze as sharp as an eagle's claws, but he remained silent...
While Xiao Yan was preparing to fight Mo Di and Mo Zhai group, in another extremely secluded and mysterious hall, four figures were sitting inside.
The dim light illuminated only a section of the floor in front of the four people, making only their shoes visible; everything else seemed extremely mysterious.
"Hmph! You inhuman, ghost-like thing, what do you want with us here?!"
His hoarse, aged voice, tinged with anger, boomed like thunder, echoing throughout the hall and shaking the very soul.
At the same time, the teacups held by the other three people also shattered with a bang.
"Hehehehe... Why is Sect Master Wu in such a hurry? You've all waited for hundreds of years, what's a little longer? Hehehehe..."
Just then, a sinister laugh, as eerie as a ghost, echoed from the darkness.
The sound came without warning, and no trace of aura could be detected. This newcomer caused even the four supreme powerhouses, who usually held sway over the world, to feel a sense of unease.
Among the four, there were naturally some who understood the meaning behind his words. Two of them exchanged glances secretly before looking at the empty space in front of them and asking calmly:
"What did you mean by that? What do you mean by waiting for hundreds of years?"
"Hehehehe... Could it be that after a hundred years, the four of you have forgotten... that thing?"
The four people in the darkness narrowed their eyes, their gazes flashing with a cold light, sending chills down one's spine even in the darkness.
" Heavenly Severing Steps "
