As the fresh morning light spills over the city, the silence of the night is broken once again, followed by another day of hustle and bustle.
As the city awakens from its brief slumber, every corner of the continent gradually comes alive with activity and prosperity.
Beyond this Ancient Wilderness City, in the vast Green Mountain Range, at this very moment, someone is awakening once more from a two-year slumber...
"Boom..."
Above the Ge Thunder Mountain Range Ge Thunder Mountain, where everything had been quiet, the thick thunderclouds suddenly began to churn violently.
Thunder rumbled, like terrifying roars of beasts, echoing across the land.
Below the thunderclouds stood the towering, unapproachable Ge Thunder Mountain, a pillar supporting the Holding Up the Heavens. At this moment, amidst the terrifying thunder, the crowd at the foot of Thunder Mountain felt an overwhelming pressure. Those below the level of Half-Emperor were unable to withstand it and collapsed to their knees, struggling to support their bodies as they were about to be crushed, their hearts filled with horror.
The thunderclouds, which had only been dormant for two years, are now churning violently. Could it be that the Void Lightning Pool is about to open again? But the Lightning Pool has only been closed for two years; how could it reopen so quickly? What on earth has happened?
Countless people were filled with horror and were also shrouded in deep bewilderment.
They simply couldn't understand why the Void Lightning Pool, which had only been closed for two years, would suddenly reopen after two years.
As several Half-Emperor level experts in the crowd looked up with solemn expressions, the thunderclouds in the distant sky gradually dispersed amidst a violent rumble of thunder, and the Lightning Pool passage slowly opened.
"It's the Lightning Pool Passage! The Void Lightning Pool has really reopened!"
Upon seeing the Lightning Pool open, the crowd below erupted in excitement. The news that the Void Lightning Pool had reopened would likely shake the entire Ancient Wilderness City and a vast area of the surrounding regions!
"Look! There seems to be something in the Lightning Pool passage!"
"Huh? What!"
With a gasp of surprise, everyone looked again, and they couldn't help but stare intently. Sure enough, in the Lightning Pool passage, a black dot and a huge golden lightning bolt were slowly flying out.
As the black dot drew closer, after exiting the Lightning Pool passage, everyone could roughly see that the black dot resembled a human figure.
"That looks like a human, but what's that behind him?"
As the crowd's astonished voices faded, the golden lightning flashed, transforming into a beam of golden light that disappeared into the figure before them.
"Good heavens! The Void Lightning Pool was clearly closed, how could there still be a human inside? And how did he get out? The Void Lightning Pool cannot be opened by human power at all!"
"No! Nothing is absolute. As long as you have enough strength, opening the Void Lightning Pool is not a difficult task!"
"Could it be... that this person is... a Dou Di (Dou Di )?"
"Whoosh--"
Words filled with shock immediately rang out, and everyone in the arena changed their expressions. Only the few Half-Emperor remained, their faces solemn as they gazed up at the dark figure high in the sky.
With their strength, they could naturally sense that the person high in the sky was not a Dou Di expert, but a Half-Emperor. However, what made them solemn was that the Half -Half-Emperor experts present were completely unable to detect the true strength of the figure high in the sky.
This situation could only occur if either the opponent possessed a treasure that concealed their aura, or if their true strength far surpassed theirs!
Among the several Half-Emperor present, there were also three-star and four-star Half-Emperor. Even so, the aura of the Half-Emperor high above still seemed extremely ethereal to them.
While the crowd at the foot of Ge Thunder Mountain were speculating, Xiao Yan, below the thunderclouds, took several deep breaths of the fresh air and felt the comfort spreading through his body. A relaxed smile appeared on Xiao Yan's lips.
After two years of arduous training, he has finally emerged from this Void Lightning Pool today!
Two years ago, he fled into the depths of the Void Lightning Pool in his most disheveled state. Now he has returned with a leap in strength. This stark contrast is truly astonishing.
"Hehe, I wonder what kind of interesting expression will appear on Mu Han's face if he sees him again."
Thinking of Mu Han, Xiao Yan couldn't help but chuckle coldly, a hint of icy light flashing in his eyes, causing the temperature in the surrounding void to drop.
Shaking his head slightly, Xiao Yan temporarily put aside his thoughts, slowly lowered his body, and casually glanced around, but his eyes caught sight of the towering Ge Thunder Mountain behind him, which seemed like a pillar reaching into the sky.
When Xiao Yan's gaze quickly swept over the three powerful characters " Ge Thunder Mountain " engraved on Ge Thunder Mountain by the pressure of Dou Di expert, his eyes narrowed and his expression froze slightly. Xiao Yan remembered what Chi Lin had told him two years ago.
Back then, after Mu Han's Spiritual Strength had just broken through to the Realm of Unity and condensed the Soul Bead, he also sat cross-legged in front of this Ge Thunder Mountain and used his Spiritual Strength to resist the pressure of the Dou Di on the three Holding Up the Heavens characters " Ge Thunder Mountain " for half a day.
Although this period of time seems extremely short, for Half-Emperor to withstand the pressure left by a true Dou Di powerhouse is already quite remarkable. At least, for most people, they might not even have that much courage.
Recalling what Chi Lin had said, Xiao Yan's heart stirred slightly. Since Mu Han had withstood the pressure of the Dou Di for half a day, he wondered how long he could have lasted if it were him.
Filled with curiosity, Xiao Yan landed on the mountain peak where Mu Han had stood before. He slowly raised his eyes, his dark pupils fixed on the three large characters on the mountain wall.
"Buzzing..."
The moment Xiao Yan's gaze fell upon the three large characters "Ge Thunder Mountain," a terrifying pressure emanated from it, rushing towards him like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey. Fortunately, Xiao Yan Xiao Yan to dodge in time, thus avoiding a collision.
Embarrassed, Xiao Yan withdrew his gaze, a sense of unease creeping into his heart. The oppressive aura emanating from those three large characters was truly terrifying. Fortunately, his Spiritual Strength had broken through its shackles; otherwise, he would have found it truly difficult to contend with it.
After a few breaths, a smile of interest slowly crept onto Xiao Yan's lips. He narrowed his eyes, raised his gaze again, and with a soft laugh, an extremely terrifying and vast Spiritual Strength suddenly swept out from between Xiao Yan's eyebrows.
"Heh, let me try it out and see just how terrifying this Dou Di's pressure really is!"
"Boom!"
A terrifying Spiritual Strength rapidly condensed into a hundred-foot-long soul hammer in the void in front of Xiao Yan. With a thought from Xiao Yan, the hammer was swung up and slammed into the three towering characters " Ge Thunder Mountain " that contained terrifying pressure.
At the same time, an incomparably terrifying Dou Di aura rapidly spread out from those three large characters, condensing into a huge phantom image of aura opposite Xiao Yan.
As Xiao Yan unleashed his Soul Hammer, the humanoid phantom formed from the pressure of Dou Di also swung its sleeve behind its back, striking the Soul Hammer with a palm strike.
"Boom!"
A moment later, Xiao Yan's soul hammer collided fiercely with the phantom's palm. Instantly, a terrifying invisible wave swept out, causing the entire Ge Thunder Mountain Range to shake violently. The crowd below was filled with horror.
After the attack, Xiao Yan's Soul Hammer dissipated, and the figure withdrew his hand. Xiao Yan's expression changed slightly, but he didn't care. Instead, he laughed heartily and said loudly:
"Hahahaha! Good! As expected of the pressure left behind by Dou Di powerhouse, let me see it for myself today! Let's go again!"
As the laughter subsided, Xiao Yan's mind stirred, and his surging Spiritual Strength swept out once more, blasting towards the illusory figure once more.
