Chapter 758 World Rune [Thunder]

In the astral plane,

Li Si stood amidst the vast starry sky, cautiously moving forward.

There are far too many dangers in the astral plane.

Besides the freely roaming astral creatures, various eerie environments also harbor all sorts of dangers.

For this reason, even though the astral plane contains all sorts of treasures, not many people travel through it.

Even for extraordinary professions like warriors and hunters, who achieve demigod status, it is still difficult to travel in the astral plane.

Basically, only a few extraordinary professions such as mages and astral warlocks have this ability.

Although Li Si had only recently entered the Astral Plane, he had already become quite familiar with it after integrating and applying the knowledge he had gained from his teacher Stephens.

Even so, Li Si remained cautious enough.

After all, danger could strike at any moment here.

Putting everything else aside, if Li Si were discovered by those evil gods, he would have no choice but to run away.

However, Li Si's current goal is to find the [Ortega] mini-world as soon as possible.

Before this, Li Si had already visited several other small worlds that were connected to [Ortega].

Within the astral plane, these small worlds are roughly located within one region.

Unfortunately, these small worlds were not on the astral map that Professor Stephens gave him.

Therefore, Li Si could only search slowly in this star realm.

However, there was some good news as well.

There aren't many small worlds in this astral plane.

Li Si could only resort to a laborious method, searching through each small world one by one.

I happen to have nothing to do right now.

There's still some time before the [Ortega] mini-world opens.

Li Si had enough time to explore all these small worlds.

Let's get started without delay!

"Whoo~"

Li Si emerged from the small world barrier and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Looking at the pale blue membrane separating the small world behind him, Li Si breathed a sigh of relief.

This small world is devoid of any living beings, and a blue storm rages within it at all times.

Clearly, this is not the [Ortega] mini-world that Li Si was looking for.

Li Si took out the Star Map and marked one of the points of light.

Looking at the two-thirds of the star realm that had already been marked with light spots, Li Si shook his head.

It seems his luck wasn't very good.

However, there aren't many small worlds left, so we should have a result soon.

Hopefully, this isn't a wasted effort.

Li Si looked ahead and saw a small orange world, about the size of an apple, not far away in his line of sight.

However, this sense of distance in terms of visual perception does not represent the actual distance between the two.

In the astral realm, this perception of distance can easily be confused.

This is one of the reasons why astral travel is dangerous.

However, this time, Li Si did not spend too long before he arrived outside this small world.

Looking at this small world before him, Li Si suddenly had a strange feeling.

It was as if something in this little world was attracting him.

Li Si was quite confident in his intuition.

In that case
Li Si used spatial magic to tear open the barrier between the small worlds in front of him and flashed into the small world.

In the small world,

This is a lifeless world, with nothing but desert and Gobi as far as the eye can see.

There is not a trace of life in this desolate Gobi Desert.

Neither the tiny grass shoots nor the towering vegetation seemed to have ever appeared here before.

The earth was a monotonous and dull yellow-brown, echoing the oppressive hue of the sky.

The cold, dry wind, like a tireless traveler, ceaselessly traverses this desolate world.

The gale carried a desolate air, and every gust seemed to tell of the world's loneliness and despair.

The wind whipped up gusts of sand and dust, forming a hazy curtain of sand that made it even harder to discern directions in an already blurred vision.

On this land ravaged by the wind, time seems to have lost its meaning, leaving only endless waiting and silence.

"Whoo~"

Li Si appeared on the Gobi Desert, letting out a long sigh as he stepped onto the barren earth.

really!

This is the little world of Ortega!

It wasn't easy, but we finally found it!

Li Si briefly surveyed the surroundings, which resembled the environment in his memory, and then looked up.

Above the sky, the entire world was shrouded in a layer of extremely gloomy dark clouds, which hung so low that they seemed within reach.

Dark, gloomy clouds piled up densely, obscuring the sky's original colors and making this small world appear even darker and more oppressive.

Occasionally, a flash of lightning would appear through the dark clouds, followed by a faint, muffled rumble of thunder.

Although the thunder was faint, it was enough to break the deathly silence and bring an unusual atmosphere to the world.

However, the brief clap of thunder was quickly swallowed by endless silence.

The desert and Gobi remained as silent as ever, as if the thunder had never existed.

Every inch of this land, every grain of sand, exudes an indescribable desolation and deathly silence.

Upon hearing the thunderous sound that seemed to come from nowhere, Li Si had no further doubts.

Just like in the previous life, the entire small world was shrouded in this strange lightning.

However, the situation is not the same as it is now.

Now, it should be a lull in the thunderstorm in the Ortega mini-world.

At this moment, apart from the faint rumble of thunder, the whole world was deathly silent.

When the thunderstorm arrives, the entire world will be enveloped by the world-destroying thunder.

That's why this little world looks so lifeless.

The source of this thunderstorm that swept across the entire small world is very likely that special world rune.

Rumble!
Just as Li Si was preparing to take off and head into the sky to search for the world rune, a series of thunderclaps suddenly rang out.

The deafening thunder suddenly roared from the sky, as if an invisible hand had struck a giant drum in the heavens, shaking people to their core.

Immediately afterwards, a fierce wind raged like a beast, carrying a biting chill and endless wildness, sweeping across every inch of space.

The dark, gloomy clouds in the sky, like spilled ink, rolled and surged, creating a depressing and mysterious atmosphere, seemingly foreshadowing an impending disaster.

After a brief moment of tranquility, the dark clouds in the sky seemed to be torn apart. Countless streaks of silvery-white lightning, like arrows from the heavens, roared down from afar, carrying boundless majesty and power.

These lightning bolts were thick and violent, each flash accompanied by a deafening roar, incredibly fast as if they were about to tear the earth apart.

The thunder contained an aura of destruction, an irresistible force.

They bombarded the vast Gobi Desert, instantly melting the sand grains into charred residue, leaving behind shocking marks.

As the thunder roared, the Gobi Desert seemed to be ignited, shimmering with an eerie light.

The thick bolts of lightning did not dissipate after striking the ground; instead, they shattered into countless fine electric snakes that scattered in all directions, as if they were alive.

These electric snakes roam the earth, weaving together to form a vast electric grid that envelops the entire world.

Wherever they passed, the air seemed to be torn apart, leaving behind twisted cracks that demonstrated the boundless power of this terrifying thunder.

At this moment, all the noise and commotion seemed so insignificant, as if the whole world had fallen silent, leaving only the deafening thunder and blinding lightning intertwining and raging.

Li Si was somewhat surprised by the world-ending scene before him.

Unexpectedly, he was so lucky that he encountered a thunderstorm as soon as he entered the [Ortega] small world.

However, this thunder, which seemed terrifying to ordinary people, could not even shake Li Si's magical shield.

Looking at the countless silvery-white streaks churning in the dark clouds, Li Si's expression became somewhat solemn.

Players from the previous generation knew very little about the Ortega mini-world.

However, now that Li Si is experiencing it firsthand, he understands that each of these terrifying bolts of lightning possesses the power of a gold-tier lightning spell.

The thunderous storm sweeping across the entire small world is far beyond what a legend could accomplish.

Is this the immense power possessed by the World Rune?

Li Si sighed slightly, then braved the thunder and storm and flew into the air.

As it drew closer to the sky, the power of the sweeping thunder became even more terrifying.

However, Li Si remained unmoved and unaffected, breaking through the dark clouds to reach the high sky.

In this scene, the sky before Li Si seemed to have transformed into a silvery-white ocean.

And churning within this ocean are endless, unrestrained, and terrifying thunderbolts.

So, where is the World Rune?
Li Si surveyed his surroundings and sensed that something was amiss.

The sheer number of lightning bolts gathered before us is simply too much.

This has become light pollution; even Li Si can't see the distant scenery clearly.

Li Si stood silently for a moment, bathed in the thunder.

He then extended his right hand as a magical shield.

In the blink of an eye, three or four bolts of lightning struck Li Si's right hand.

However, given Li Si's current physical strength, this was merely a slight pain for him.

If he didn't want his clothes to be destroyed by the lightning, Li Si could have easily withstood it with his bare body.

After experiencing the power of the thunder here, Li Si used spatial teleportation to arrive at the distant sea of ​​clouds.

I experienced the intensity of the thunder firsthand, just like they did.

It's slightly weaker than the previous spot.
After several more attempts, Li Si clearly understood the direction in which Thunder was constantly becoming stronger.

If these lightning bolts all originate from that world rune, then the closer one is to the world rune, the higher the intensity of the lightning.

Li Si continued flying in the direction he had chosen.

Soon, the speed at which the power of the surrounding lightning increased surprised him.

At least, the thunder here was enough to leave scars on Li Si's body.

As Li Si continued to advance, the power of the thunder grew stronger.

Soon, Li Si had no choice but to strengthen his own magic shield.

However, Li Si was not worried at all; in fact, he was even more excited.

The more powerful the world runes are, the more meaningful they are to Li Si.

Soon, after traversing almost half of the Ortega mini-world, Li Si finally arrived at his destination.

In the vast sea of ​​clouds before us, the lightning had condensed into a tangible, silvery-white ocean.

At this moment, it resembled boiling water, surging endlessly, containing boundless energy and power.

Countless terrifying bolts of lightning erupted from this sea of ​​lightning, sweeping across the entire world like raging dragons.

And miraculously, a pale blue bead hovered in mid-air above this surging sea of ​​thunder.

The bead emitted a soft and mysterious light, which contrasted sharply with the surrounding violent lightning.

It hung there silently, as if it were the center of the entire world of thunder, influencing everything in this sea of ​​thunder.

Li Si carefully examined the light blue bead.

The bead was tightly surrounded by countless silvery-white lightning bolts.

These lightning bolts, like loyal guardians, constantly twist and intertwine around the bead, forming unique and complex patterns.

These patterns shimmered with dazzling light, each shimmer seemingly containing some mysterious power.

Li Si felt dizzy after watching for only a short while, as if his soul was being shaken by this powerful force.

In that instant, Li Si seemed to be observing a world entirely composed of thunder.

This pale blue bead is undoubtedly the core of the entire Thunder Sea.

It is like a high and mighty monarch, overlooking this ocean of thunder and controlling every bit of its power.

Its presence makes this Thunder Sea even more mysterious and majestic.

As the thunder surged, the bead trembled slightly, as if responding to the thunder's call.

Each tremor resonated with the surrounding thunder, causing the entire sea of ​​thunder to shake. This awe-inspiring power was impossible to ignore or resist.

Li Si breathed a sigh of relief and looked away.

After a short while, he felt a little better.

Even with Li Si's legendary arcanist-level resilience, he couldn't look directly at the pale blue bead for a moment.

Without a doubt, this must be the world rune hidden in the [Ortega] mini-world!

World Rune [Thunder]!
Indeed it is!

Li Si felt a slight sense of joy.

His previous efforts hadn't been in vain; he had indeed found the World Rune.

Moreover, just now, Li Si only observed the world rune [Thunder] for a moment, mentally recording the special traces around the world rune.

Naturally, many insights related to the rules of the [Thunder] world came to mind.

Is this the power of the World Rune?
Li Si felt a surge of excitement.

For a legendary arcane mage, the value of a single world rune is an extremely precious treasure trove of knowledge.

This will allow him to glimpse the true secrets of the world's rules!

However, obtaining this world rune seems to be quite troublesome!
Li Si looked at the terrifying lightning surrounding the pale blue bead.

This is on a completely different level from the lightning that escaped before.

With just a simple sense, Li Si knew that this was not something he could withstand.

What should we do then?
Li Si looked at the sea of ​​thunder before him and hesitated.
