Longevity Thunder Ancestor

Chapter 788 Heavenly Punishment Lei Lin
Seven days later, at a point deep in the sixth level of Thunder Abyss.

A massive, three-eyed, deep black rhinoceros, tens of meters long and resembling a small mountain, was seen churning in the sea.

Sharp beams of light shot out from its three eyes. The sea surface hit by these beams of light first turned into black crystals, and then shattered directly into black dust, looking exceptionally sharp.

But then a surging silver thundercloud appeared and engulfed it.

All that could be heard was a deafening clap of thunder and the painful, furious roar of the three-eyed rhinoceros.

Not long after, with another desperate howl, all sounds fell silent.

The thunderclouds slowly dissipated, revealing that the enormous three-eyed rhinoceros had been decapitated, and its massive head was easily held in the hand of a cultivator in yellow robes.

Not far away stood Luo Feixuan, Qiu Ruhe, and Teng Zizhen, all three of them looking shocked.

Fujiko took a deep breath and said somewhat dejectedly, "This person is too strong. He killed this adult Three-Eyed Rhinoceros of the Sea-Turning Realm so easily."

It seems that even if I regain my full strength, I'm no match for him.

Qiu Ruhe sighed, "It's all thanks to this person's strength that we were able to get close to the seventh floor so smoothly. Miss, the Nine Tribulation Thunder Jade you promised earlier was indeed worth it."

Luo Feixuan's pretty face was calm, with a faint smile at the corner of her mouth.

Ning Fa, on the other hand, was somewhat troubled. This demonic beast was too large to fit in his storage ring, but it would be a great pity to just throw it away.

After thinking it over, he still took the beast's essence, head, shell, blood essence, and of course, its most important inner core.

Only the most essential parts of the remaining flesh and blood were selected, while the rest were discarded, causing the seawater below to boil.

He flew back to Luo Feixuan and the other two, and said with a smile, "Everyone, let's continue on our way."

The group set off again.

Before long, Ningfa was surprised to find that the sea level beneath his feet was slowly rising.

He couldn't help but scan forward with his divine sense, and was immediately surprised to see that the sea level in front of him was constantly rising.

This is almost unbelievable on the sea; it's like they're climbing a massive sea peak.

Noticing Ning Fa's surprise, Qiu Ruhe smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Jiang, we are almost at the entrance to the seventh floor. Be careful, the Heavenly Punishment Thunder Forest is extremely dangerous."

Ning Fa nodded.

Several more hours passed, and the sea level was now hundreds of feet higher than before.

At the highest point of this mountain peak, thick, dark clouds hung low, obscuring the sky and stretching endlessly.

Lightning bolts as thick as bowls would occasionally strike down from the dark clouds, eerily without making a sound; just watching them from afar was enough to send chills down one's spine.

At the same time, dense blue lightning began to appear on the sea surface, as dense as a net.

The higher you go, the denser the lightning becomes, and it even begins to connect with the lightning in the low-hanging dark clouds.

It looks like a dark blue forest formed by countless lightning bolts, stretching endlessly and awe-inspiring to all who see it.

At this moment, the expressions of Luo Feixuan and the other two became very solemn. They all slowed down, and Qiu Ruhe even took the lead and carefully flew towards a certain direction.

Before long, the group had approached the vicinity of this vast, dense forest formed by countless lightning bolts.

Led by Qiu Ruhe, the group arrived at an area where a slightly sparse section of the Thunder Forest appeared ahead.

Qiu Ruhe looked at Ning Fa and solemnly transmitted his voice, "Fellow Daoist Jiang, you must be careful later. Do not unleash your magic power, otherwise you may attract lightning attacks from the Heavenly Punishment Thunder Forest."

After Ning Fa nodded, Qiu Ruhe took out a slightly worn blue cloak-shaped treasure from his storage ring.

With a gentle shake, it grew to several meters in size, enveloping the four people within it.

Then, the group maintained the same speed and flew towards the sparse thunder forest ahead.

Upon entering, a deafening roar of thunder immediately greets you, making you feel as if you've lost your hearing for a moment.

The three of them, including Luo Feixuan, all turned slightly pale, but they dared not exert too much of their magical power to resist.

Ning, on the other hand, remained completely at ease. This environment was truly perfect for him, and he felt no discomfort whatsoever.

Even his divine sense was not severely affected like the other three, and he was still able to probe a range of nearly a hundred miles.

He squinted and looked around, realizing that this place was quite strange and not simply formed by lightning.

The deeper you go, the more lifelike the trees formed by lightning become, looking no different from ordinary dense forests.

He even noticed that dozens of miles away, there was a giant blue lightning tree several meters thick, with a spiritual fruit radiating pure lightning spiritual power on one of its branches.

There were also some pools of water bubbling with lightning, and he even discovered several creatures that looked like demonic beasts, whose bodies seemed to be formed from lightning as well.

Ning Fa couldn't help but feel a stirring in his heart.

He didn't intend to go and investigate now, but instead thought:

This Heavenly Punishment Thunder Forest likely imposes severe restrictions even on ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators.

After all, from his perspective, the deeper one went into Leylin, the more violent the lightning power became. But for Ning Fa, it was like a fish in water.

Therefore, this Heavenly Punishment Raylin seems to be a good escape route for him. If he encounters any powerful enemies, he might be able to escape here.

Thinking of this, Ning Fa couldn't help but smile slightly.

About an hour later, the group finally passed through the Heavenly Punishment Thunder Forest, and Qiu Ruhe and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, the sea level ahead was slowly decreasing in altitude, as if the Heavenly Punishment Thunder Forest they had just passed through was at the highest point of this sea peak.

However, no one dared to increase their speed too much, because the sky was still covered with dark clouds.

Every now and then, large bolts of lightning would strike directly down from these dark clouds.

The power varies, with some powerful lightning strikes even comparable to a strike from a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Therefore, everyone was very careful and tried to avoid these areas shrouded in dark clouds.

During the process, they also encountered some areas of the sea where there were no dark clouds overhead and the sky appeared clear, but Qiu Ruhe and the others kept their distance as if they had seen a snake or scorpion.

After about half a day, they finally came down from the sea peak.

Although dark clouds filled the sky, the powerful lightning bolts were no longer striking as frequently as before, so the group sped up.

They encountered numerous attacks from demonic beasts along the way, and several of these beasts were even stronger than the three-eyed rhinoceros that they had previously encountered.

However, under Ning Fa's attack, he was easily killed.

Three days later, the group slowed down.

Several miles ahead, they saw shallow waters appear, and beyond that, a black plain stretched out.

Even before they got close, an extremely cold wind was already blowing from this black plain.

The nearby sea surface was covered with a layer of black ice, and even Ning Fa felt a slight chill.

Qiu Ruhe had already taken out his magical cloak again and used it to protect everyone inside.

With a look of joy on his face, he said, "We have arrived at the Dark Plains of Delusion. The Corridor of Desolate Bones is located there. Thanks to Fellow Daoist Jiang's great abilities, otherwise we would not have been able to get here smoothly."

Luo Feixuan smiled gently at Ning Fa and said softly, "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Jiang."

Ning Fa smiled slightly, without being polite.

The group continued flying forward, having already ventured deeper into the desolate Black Plains.

The eerie wind grew even stronger, causing black ice crystals to appear on the outer layer of Qiu Ruhe's powerful cloak, forcing him to increase his magical power.

At that moment, a chilling female whimper could be faintly heard. A ghostly female figure, entirely blue in color, appeared ahead, her long hair obscuring her face, making it impossible to discern her features. She was slowly flying towards them.

Each time its body flashed with an eerie light, its form seemed to switch back and forth between reality and illusion, making it look extremely strange.

The aura it emitted was also unpredictable, sometimes resembling the early stage of Core Formation, and sometimes the peak of the late stage of Core Formation.

At this moment, Luo Feixuan whispered, "Everyone, don't make a move. These are ghostly spirits. If we use our magic power rashly, we may easily attract more ghosts from the Dark Plains of the False Path."

As she spoke, she flipped her jade-like hand, and a small red scroll appeared in her hand, depicting a small, fiery red bird.

As Luo Feixuan cast a spell, a flash of fire appeared on the scroll.

The firebird seemed to come alive, and with a single flap of its wings, it flew off the painting.

It grew to several feet in size, its body wreathed in flames, radiating powerful pure Yang energy.

“This is… a Yan Yang bird.”

Ning Fa was slightly moved and recognized the origin of the red firebird; it should be the legendary Yan Yang Bird.

It is said that this bird is good at devouring evil spirits and demons, but Luo Feixuan used a spiritual object that sealed the divine power of the Yan Yang bird, just like a talisman.

The ghost that was flying towards the group let out a shriek upon seeing the Red Sun Bird and turned to flee.

But the Yan Yang bird simply flapped its wings, and a burst of fire shot out from it, striking the ghost in a fleeting moment.

With a scream, the ghost was melted away without any resistance.

The red-crowned crane let out a clear cry and flew back into the painting.

"Let's go," Luo Feixuan said softly.

The group continued onward, and thanks to Luo Feixuan's precious Yan Yang Bird, they escaped unscathed despite encountering some ghostly attacks along the way.

After most of the day had passed, the unchanging black wasteland ahead was finally replaced by countless enormous skeletons.
These skeletons all look extremely large, many of them tens or even hundreds of feet long, which gives an idea of ​​how enormous they must have been in life.

Moreover, this bone forest stretches endlessly, with no end in sight. It's hard to imagine how many enormous monsters must have perished within it, which is truly awe-inspiring.

"We've arrived at the Desolate Bone Corridor," Luo Feixuan said softly, a glimmer of light shining in her beautiful eyes.
