Chapter 759 Exploring the Thunder Sea

[Ortega] Small World, Thunder Sea

Looking at the ocean of countless silver-white lightning bolts gathered before him, Li Si couldn't help but feel troubled.

Although they were still some distance from the Thunder Sea, Li Si had already sensed the danger.

Entering this sea of ​​thunder rashly would undoubtedly mean that Fairy Li Si's strength would not be enough to completely withstand the onslaught of the thunder.

Especially the blue lightning that flashes through the sea of ​​thunder from time to time.

This peculiar lightning seemed to emanate from the world rune [Thunder], giving Li Si an extremely dangerous feeling.

This feeling even made Li Si feel as if he were facing a demigod or even a god.

This terrifying power also represents the extraordinary nature of the world's runes.

However, Li Si now faces considerable trouble in obtaining this world rune.

Based on his previous preparations, it was impossible for him to easily take away this world rune.

He can't even get close to him now.

How did the legends of the churches of gods and believers of evil gods in their past lives achieve this?
Li Si looked at the pale blue bead in the distance, somewhat puzzled.

In my previous life, quite a few legends participated in the struggle for this World Rune.

The power of that legendary battle spread throughout the entire Ortega world; for every player who entered the Ortega world, several died instantly.

Therefore, players actually don't have much information to obtain.

The only certainty is that many legendary powerhouses are involved in the competition for this world rune.

Moreover, the World Rune was not located in this Thunder Sea at that time.

What happened to cause that situation?

Li Si toyed with the magic ring in his right hand, pondering the relevant information.

At least Li Si was certain that not all the legendary powerhouses who participated in the struggle for the World Rune in his previous life were particularly strong.

Many of them are legendary figures known to players, and Li Si is confident that he is stronger than several of them.

In other words, Li Si definitely had a chance.

In my previous life, to avoid a fierce battle that erupted over the World Rune, which would destroy the [Ortega] mini-world and cause the World Rune to be swept away by spatial turbulence and disappear.

Neither the Church of the Gods nor the followers of the evil gods made a move, nor did any demigods or even gods intervene.

Therefore, he definitely still has a chance.

However, Li Si also considered that the existence of the World Rune was quite special.

The Church of the Gods is certainly the one with the most information on this matter.

Most of the world runes that have ever appeared eventually fell into the hands of the gods, whose understanding of world runes was far beyond what Li Si could match.

Li Si couldn't directly ask the Church of the Gods for relevant information.

First of all, information about the World Runes is definitely a secret of the Church of the Gods, and may even be related to the Gods' trump cards, which they would not easily tell others.

Secondly, once Li Si inquires about relevant information, the Church of the Gods will surely understand that Li Si definitely has clues related to the World Runes.

Regardless of whether the Church of the Gods would compete with Li Si for this world rune, Li Si himself did not want anyone to know about the existence of the [Ortega] small world rune.

The fact that both the Church of Gods and believers of evil gods are vying for it shows how precious the World Rune is.

That was something extremely valuable to the gods.

Li Si also wanted to use it as one of his trump cards.

Apart from that, Professor Stephens did not leave any relevant information in this regard.

Because Professor Stephens had never seen any World Rune either.

Am I left to rely solely on myself?
Li Si shook his head helplessly, then turned his gaze to the sea of ​​thunder before him.

After a moment of silence, Li Si summoned a new clone beside him.

[Mirror Body] Doppelganger!
Li Si hasn't used this skill for a while, but the [Mirror Body] clone is still very useful when exploring dangerous areas.

[Mirror Body] The clone can have a certain percentage of Li Si's attribute bonuses, depending on how much magic power Li Si puts into it.

This makes the [Mirror Body] clone much tankier than a typical legendary mage, almost as tanky as a legendary warrior or monk.

Li Si channeled his consciousness into his [Mirror Body] clone, controlling it to move towards the sea of ​​thunder before him.

Upon reaching the edge of the Thunder Sea, Li Si raised his right hand and stretched it forward.

It reached out towards the highly condensed, almost liquid, silvery-white lightning.

Li Si did not use any protective spells, but instead planned to test the power of the lightning with his own body first.

The moment Li Si's right hand touched the silver-white lightning, he could feel an extremely terrifying destructive force instantly surging into his right hand.

The destructive force was about to spread along his right arm and into his body in the blink of an eye.

Under intense mental pressure, Li Si reacted instantly and severed his right arm.

Before his eyes, his right arm was quickly and completely consumed by the silvery lightning, turning into ashes without a sound.

It's really scary!
Using his magic to restore the clone's right arm, Li Si looked solemnly at the Thunder Sea before him.

Below the level of a demigod, it is impossible to withstand the bombardment of this sea of ​​thunder with one's physical body.

After a moment's thought, Li Si used his magic, and specks of four-colored light enveloped his body, transforming into a magical shield that moved in four colors: crimson, azure, sky blue, and earth brown.

Legendary spell: Shield of the Four Sources!
This is the most powerful protective spell that Li Si currently controls. It is formed by the continuous elemental power from the four elemental planes, creating the most resilient shield to protect Li Si's safety.

In addition to its extremely strong protection, as long as Li Si's connection with the four elemental planes remains intact, the Four Source Shield will quickly regenerate even if it is broken.

In addition, a faint, light-white robe appeared behind Li Si and slowly merged into his body.

Special Arcane Art: [Li Si's Sage's Robe]!
After making preparations, Li Si did not test the waters this time and went directly into the Thunder Sea.

Call ~
As his body entered the sea of ​​thunder, Li Si's breath hitched.

He felt an extremely terrifying pressure descend upon him, and endless lightning struck the Four Source Shield.

In an instant, Li Si felt as if he were alone bearing the brunt of a massive army's charge.

It is extremely difficult to even stand firm in this sea of ​​thunder, let alone take a step towards the world rune!

If it were a regular legendary mage, there might not be any other way.

However, Li Si was different.

Its terrifying strength and endurance endowed it with an extremely resilient body, allowing it to withstand pressure far exceeding the limits of a legendary mage. After standing in the sea of ​​thunder for a moment and adjusting his breathing, Li Si began to move forward.

They walked step by step with difficulty toward the pale blue pearl in the center of the Thunder Sea.

The illusory robes swirled slowly around Li Si's body, constantly relieving the pressure he was under.

Li Si even felt that the Four Source Shield in front of him was somewhat distorted, as if it would shatter at any moment.

However, thanks to Li Si's persistence, he finally withstood the pressure of the terrifying thunder in the Thunder Sea and was about to reach the center of the Thunder Sea.

The entire Thunder Sea doesn't actually cover a large area; it's basically only a few kilometers in size.

However, what used to be a short distance for Li Si now felt like an eternity as he made his progress step by step.

The good news, however, is that he has finally reached the core area of ​​this Thunder Sea.

Not far in front of him was the pale blue orb that was slowly rotating in mid-air.

Just as Li Si was preparing to press on and approach the World Rune, a pale blue bolt of lightning suddenly appeared in his field of vision.

boom!
The magical shield surrounding Li Si's [Mirror Body] clone shattered instantly, and the clone was immediately enveloped by silver-white lightning surging from all directions.

Without any chance to resist, the [Mirror Body] clone was completely destroyed.

At this moment, Li Si, standing outside the Thunder Sea, slightly raised his head.

Only then did he realize what was happening, and he looked at the core area of ​​Thunder Sea with some surprise and lingering fear.

Everything happened so fast that he didn't have a chance to react.

It was at this moment that Li Si realized what had just happened.

After entering the core area of ​​the Thunder Sea, what appeared was not just the condensed, liquid silver-white lightning.

That pale blue hue is the terrifying lightning that appears around the world rune [Thunder].
This extremely terrifying lightning will appear in the core area of ​​the Thunder Sea.

Faced with such thunder, Li Si had no chance to resist at all, and all his defenses were completely destroyed.

The unstoppable power of the pale blue lightning left a very deep impression on Li Si.

Recalling what had just happened, Li Si fell silent.

At least for now, Li Si couldn't think of any way to resist that pale blue lightning.

What a hassle!
The combination of the protective spells 【Shield of Four Sources】 and 【Li Si's Sage's Robe】 is the most effective means of resisting lightning attacks that Li Si currently possesses.

Under such terrifying lightning attacks, physical defense is utterly useless.

The World Runes represent the most fundamental manifestation of a certain aspect of the world rules of Gaia.

That pale blue lightning bolt should be the power that emanated from the world rune [Thunder].

This left Li Si feeling utterly helpless.

Although he is not far from the world rune [Thunder], because it is surrounded by a sea of ​​thunder, Li Si has no way of obtaining the light blue orb through remote contact.

According to Li Si's observation, the pale blue lightning appeared quite frequently in the core area of ​​the Thunder Sea.

This is only what can be observed with the naked eye; in reality, there may be much more pale blue lightning.

To touch the world rune [Thunder], this pale blue lightning is simply unavoidable.

If there was no way to find a shortcut, Li Si had no choice but to resort to the old methods.

As a legendary arcanist, what should you do when faced with difficulties?
Developing new arcane arts, of course!

However, Li Si's current knowledge is insufficient to develop a protective arcane spell capable of withstanding that pale blue lightning.

Developing a protective spell specifically designed to resist lightning attacks was easy for Li Si, but ordinary legendary protective arcane spells were far from sufficient!

Li Si had long ago mastered the rules of Thunder.

[Thunder] was also one of the first extraordinary realms he comprehended.

However, Li Si's extraordinary domain, [Thunder], has only just broken through to the legendary level.

While this pale blue lightning is certainly not the true power possessed by the world rune [Thunder], it is definitely higher than Li Si's current understanding of the rules of [Thunder].

To resist the pale blue lightning, the [Thunder] rules that Li Si possesses must not be too far removed from the rank of the pale blue lightning.

Improving one's understanding of the rules is not an easy task.

For ordinary legendary powerhouses, drastically improving their understanding of the rules in a short period of time is simply inconceivable.

If mastering the rules were so easy, there would be far more legends on the path to godhood.

However, for Li Si now, it is not an impossible task.

Having mastered the realm of "wisdom," Li Si's speed of understanding the rules of the world far surpasses that of ordinary legends.

Moreover, it seems that as long as Li Si is willing, mastering the rules of other worlds is not a difficult thing.

As long as he spends the time, Li Si, who has mastered the extraordinary realm of "wisdom," will not encounter any major bottlenecks or obstacles when comprehending other rules.

At least he has never encountered one.

This is Li Si's own advantage.

In addition, another advantage is that Li Si can directly observe the world rune [Thunder]!
Although the World Rune is currently in the form of a light blue orb, the moment Li Si saw it, he noticed that in the air around the orb, the scattered light blue lightning was outlining messy and broken patterns.

These broken patterns subtly contain a certain wondrous charm.

When Li Si first saw it, he was involuntarily drawn to it.

Through these broken lines, Li Si seemed to see countless terrifying thunderbolts that could destroy the world.

Moreover, each type of broken pattern brought Li Si a different insight.

Seeing this situation, how could Li Si not understand?

These broken lines are clearly a manifestation of a part of the world rune [Thunder]!
Even a tiny part of it provided Li Si with invaluable inspiration.

It was as if Li Si had touched upon the true essence of the rules of the world!
Just a short observation gave Li Si many new insights into the rules of [Thunder]!
The World Rune truly lives up to its reputation as a precious treasure coveted even by the gods!
With the help of mastering the world rune [Thunder], Li Si was confident that he would be able to elevate his control over the Thunder rules to a new level in a short period of time!

Having made up his mind, Li Si did not hesitate.

He sat cross-legged in mid-air outside the Thunder Sea, quietly watching the constantly disappearing and fading broken patterns around the pale blue orb.

At the same time, he also extended his index finger forward, continuously imitating and tracing the unique pattern.

In an instant, the entire Thunder Sea returned to its previous "tranquility," with only that solitary figure remaining, apart from the incessant thunder throughout the night.
