Capítulo 593: Chapter 592: Lightning Lake
Xiao Ming and his companions continued at a relentless pace, rushing into the stone door like streaks of light. The sight before them quickly brightened, and in the distance, countless figures made of lightning bolts stood akin to statues. All of them had a bow made of a lightning bolt in their hands, while a lightning arrow with lightning arcing was notched in every single one of them.
Bang!
The army-like lightning figures suddenly released their fingers. The surrounding space began to twist and turn as countless lightning arrows, mixed with destructive fluctuations, insanely rained down on the group like a storm.
However, the densely packed lightning arrows that resembled a violent storm did not affect Xiao Ming and the girls in the slightest. These lightning arrows couldn't even get close to them before they were completely extinguished.
Then, after the group passed through some lightning-armored figures and entered a silver light circle, the activated puppets fell into silence once again.
Beyond the silver light circle was an extremely vast land, with numerous clusters of ruined palaces coming into view. The entire land appeared desolate and gray, exuding a sense of decay that permeated the heavens and the earth. The deep sense of age and antiquity mixed within it made it clear that this land had long lost its vitality.
"Big Brother, this is the cave dwelling? It looks so ruined... Could there be any treasures here?" Mu Lingshan's big eyes looked at the devastated land in front of them and murmured with doubt.
At a glance, it did not appear to have been successfully left behind as a legacy. Instead, it was as though it had been destroyed by a calamity…
Xiao Ming smiled and replied, "Let's go, you'll find out soon."
Then he walked ahead, and the girls quickly followed closely behind.
The group advanced and arrived at a dilapidated square in ruins where thousands of figures were seated. However, they had all lost their life force. They were all strong practitioners who had fallen during the calamity that befell the Thunder Emperor's cave dwelling. Some of them had even undergone corpse changes over time.
Xiao Ming waved his sleeve, and a gentle breeze swept through, turning those thousand figures into flying ashes that scattered in the wind.
"Huh? Master, there are still some bodies over there that haven't dispersed," Ying Huanhuan pointed ahead.
At the far end of the square, eighteen withered figures remained seated quietly. Their bodies were actually not decomposed by the erosion of time.
Suddenly, these eighteen withered figures opened their sunken eye sockets, revealing evil and cold black flames flickering inside. These flames quickly engulfed the surrounding area.
"The energy used by the Yimo Tribe is quite interesting. It can erode a person's body and will, turning them into slaves. It's different from the Tunling Clan and has caused no small disaster in this plane."
A flame rose from his fingertip and flew out as Xiao Ming uttered these words. At the same time, the eighteen withered figures stood up, emitting beast-like growls as the black flames surrounding their bodies grew more intense.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A multi-colored light swept over, and the withered figures exploded one by one. The boiling black flames were swiftly devoured, and every trace of dark Demonic Qi was completely eradicated.
Eighteen pitch-black pills floated in the air, emanating waves of Death Qi.
Xiao Ming waved his hand, and the eighteen Deathly Silent Pills fell into his palm. He then stored them in a jade bottle and handed it to the three girls behind him.
"These pills have condensed the Death Qi cultivated by these Profound Death Stage corpses. Now that the Death Qi has been compressed into these Deathly Silent Pills, they will be greatly beneficial for your future breakthroughs into the Profound Death Stage!"
Ying Huanhuan hurriedly caught the bottle.
As Xiao Ming continued forward, similar squares to the one they had just encountered were not uncommon. Corpses eroded by Demonic Qi were numerous, but all were incinerated into ash by the Emperor Flame, and the resulting Deathly Silent Pills were given to the Ying Huanhuan trio.
As they ventured deeper, a thirty-thousand meters large giant mountain was imprinted into their eyes. The mountain was like a giant that separated the sky and earth. Even the flow of time did not diminish its majestic appearance.
Bang bang!
At this moment, there was a three thousand-meter large silver waterfall whistling down from the mountain cliff. It came rumbling downwards, causing the surroundings to shake in the process.
The silver waterfall was actually not made of ordinary water. Instead, it was formed by viscous silver thunderbolts. The thunder sound was being emitted from within it. It was possible to see countless lightning arcs flashing over the lightning pool. Many lightning bolts flowed within the lake, looking as though there were some ferocious beasts lurking within it.
'The cultivation resources of the Tian Xuan Continent are truly abundant.'
Xiao Ming was somewhat amazed by the sight. This Thunder Palace, had it been in Central Plains before he established the Heavenly Court, would have rivaled the top factions there. However, the cultivation resources on display here were not something that factions of similar standing could acquire.
This, perhaps, was due to the Tian Xuan Continent being younger than the Dou Qi Continent.
Suddenly, Xiao Ming's expression shifted. His gaze swiftly turned to the depths of the lightning lake, where wave after wave had begun forming on the surface, and a whirlpool was slowly taking shape.
As the whirlpool formed, a lightning-light cluster the size of a human head emerged from it. Within the light cluster, a silver heart could be vaguely seen pulsating. With each beat of this silver heart, a low, deep thunderous roar resonated.
"What is that?!" Mu Lingshan asked, her expression stunned as she stared at the silver heart within the lightning light.
"That's a Thunderbolt Core..." Xiao Ming glanced at the Thunderbolt Core before turning to the other girls, who were also staring at it intently. He saw their curious looks and explained.
"A Thunderbolt Core is typically formed under extreme pressure combined with pure thunderbolt force. They're exceptionally rare. Even a newborn baby, if able to withstand the thunderbolt force, would see their body become comparable to that of a Nirvana Stage Practitioner within an extremely short period of time."
This rare Thunderbolt Core was a rare natural treasure beneficial for body cultivation. Though it wasn't particularly useful to Xiao Ming, he saw no reason to be courteous. Even if he didn't need it, the girls certainly would.
After explaining, Xiao Ming pressed a finger down. Immediately, the entire lake split in two, revealing a gigantic lightning cliff gorge with a bottomless pit. It looked as though it was connected to the bottom of the earth. On its walls were numerous stone caves, and within these caves, it appeared that there were silver corpses seated.
These corpses were once strong practitioners of the Thunder Emperor's Palace who had voluntarily suppressed themselves in this lightning lake to avoid turning into monsters upon death. They used the power of lightning to suppress the Demonic Qi within their bodies.
Xiao Ming expelled countless lightning bolts from his hand, directing them towards the silver corpses. These lightning bolts crazily traversed through their bodies, creating a spectacle that resembled numerous miniature suns from afar.
Bang bang bang!
All the silver corpses suddenly exploded, and as the Demonic Qi within them was extinguished, a silver ball slowly rose. Inside each silver ball was a silver heart that beat faintly.
They were Thunderbolt Cores.
After collecting all the Thunderbolt Cores, Xiao Ming looked towards the only remaining corpse.
This corpse was originally covered with numerous black demonic markings that had turned its body pitch black, but now all of these demonic markings had disappeared. Its originally black pupils had now turned into a bright and dazzling silver. Upon closer inspection, it seemed as if they contained endless lightning.
This glowing figure seemed to have regained consciousness. However, its face was somewhat stiff, and its eyes remained vacant for quite some time. Subsequently, an exceedingly joyous elation erupted from within, causing its entire body to tremble slightly. From this, it was possible to gauge the overwhelming emotions that were rushing through its heart.
"Senior, thank you very much."
The silver glowing figure slowly stood up and bowed deeply to Xiao Ming with the utmost solemnity. His words were filled with thick feelings of gratitude and appreciation.
"This one actually came back to life?!" the Ying Huanhuan trio were somewhat astonished.
