115: Chapter 115 Thunder King! Deep into the Forbidden Zone! Berserker Lord!

Lin Qi's voice wasn't loud, yet it carried an unquestionable sense of oppression.

The members of that adventurer team felt their hair stand on end as his lightning-flickering eyes swept over them, as if they were being stared down by some primordial beast.

Old Hei's giant axe was still lying on the ground; he didn't even dare to bend over and pick it up.

He looked at Lin Qi, then at the ghost remains that had been hammered into electrical sparks, his lips trembling, unable to utter a single word.

"Ticket fee?" the mage in the team asked stutteringly.

Lin Qi withdrew his gaze and ignored them.

He raised his hand and looked at his palm, which revealed a faint silver glow after the charred skin had peeled off.

This group of ghosts was nothing more than an appetizer.

The lightning energy within them was too mixed and small in quantity, far from satisfying his need to temper his Silver Bone. He needed purer, more violent lightning.

He needed heavenly lightning.

"The lightning on the outskirts isn't strong enough," Lin Qi muttered to himself, his voice tinged with dissatisfaction.

He turned around, no longer looking at those terrified adventurers, and walked straight toward the depths of the ruins.

There was the true core of the lightning.

That was the goal of his trip.

"Where... where is he going?" Old Hei watched Lin Qi's back, his voice trembling.

"The depths... he's going to the depths of the ruins!" The mage's face turned even paler than before.

"Madman! He's absolutely a madman!" the female archer exclaimed.

They knew that although the lightning on the outskirts was dangerous, there were at least patterns to follow.

But the depths were a forbidden zone that even the Federal Military rarely set foot in.

As he proceeded deeper into the ruins, the lightning particles in the air became increasingly dense.

They were no longer tiny needles, but like living things, dancing in the air and making faint sizzling sounds.

Lin Qi's pace didn't falter for a moment. He could feel that with every step deeper, the True Qi vortex inside him spun a bit faster, and his craving for the external lightning grew stronger.

The sickly aura on him was gradually fading under the nourishment of the violent lightning.

In its place was a restrained yet powerful vitality.

The surrounding environment also changed. On the scorched earth, strange rocks shaped by lightning began to appear, shimmering with a ghostly blue luster like some kind of natural lightning crystals.

The thunderclouds overhead also became thicker, no longer lead-gray but a deep purple.

Purple electric snakes rolled within the clouds; with every flash, it seemed as if they would tear this world completely apart.

Lin Qi looked up.

"Now this is getting interesting," he said softly.

He knew he had entered the core area of the Thunder Ruins.

This was a true lightning Domain.

It was also the place where Overlord-level monsters resided.

The moment he stepped into this area, a rhythmic vibration came from the ground beneath his feet.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

The vibration grew stronger, as if some giant object was approaching.

Lin Qi stopped and his eyes became focused. He could feel a heavy pressure sweeping over him from ahead.

It was an oppression from the top of the food chain, carrying a violent lightning aura and a rock-like, indestructible heaviness.

Boom!

The ground suddenly bulged, and gravel flew everywhere.

A massive figure burst out from deep underground, blocking Lin Qi's path.

It was a giant beast five meters tall, composed of rock and lightning.

Its body surface was covered in rough rocks, but deep purple electric light flowed through the cracks like lava.

Its arms were as thick as pillars, ending in massive stone fists; every movement carried heavy wind pressure.

Its head was hideous, with two large eyeballs flickering with purple electricity, staring intently at Lin Qi.

[Thunder Tyrant].

Lin Qi had seen this monster in martial arts era. A Lv.30 Overlord monster with extremely high physical defense and magic resistance.

It roared, the sound like muffled thunder, making Lin Qi's eardrums ache.

Following that, a thick lightning breath erupted from the giant beast's mouth!

The lightning breath was deep purple, carrying destructive high temperatures and violent energy, scorching and distorting the air wherever it passed.

Lin Qi's pupils contracted slightly.

This breath was enough to melt steel instantly.

He didn't choose to tank it. Although his Physical Body had been tempered, facing this level of energy attack head-on would only waste True Qi for nothing.

His figure flickered.

[Eight Steps Catching Cicada]!

Lin Qi's figure turned into an afterimage, leaving a blurred phantom in place. Like a ghost, he instantly moved ten meters sideways, narrowly avoiding that lethal lightning breath.

Boom!

The lightning breath hit the ground, blasting a crater five meters in diameter. The soil instantly vitrified under the high temperature, emitting a pungent burnt smell.

Lin Qi landed steadily on the ground.

With a backhand grab, he pulled out the zhan ye heavy sword from his back.

The three-hundred-pound Meteoric Iron heavy sword was as light as a feather in Lin Qi's hand. The blade glinted with a ghostly cold light under the reflection of the deep purple lightning.

His eyes became fanatical.

"That's more like it."

"This level of intensity is only fit to scratch my itch."

Lin Qi licked his lips, revealing a cruel smile.

He dragged the zhan ye heavy sword, the tip carving a deep furrow in the ground with a piercing friction sound.

Without any hesitation, he charged directly at the Thunder Tyrant, which was several times larger than himself.

Seeing its strike miss, the giant beast roared again. It swung its massive rock arm, smashing down toward Lin Qi with the sound of whistling wind.

Lin Qi advanced instead of retreating.

He gave a low growl, circulating the True Qi in his body to the limit. The zhan ye heavy sword was held high, then suddenly swung upward!

The heavy sword and the giant beast's stone fist collided violently in mid-air!

Boom!

A deafening explosion rang out, like two mountain peaks crashing into each other.

A violent shockwave swept through the surroundings, gravel flying and the ground cracking.

Shockingly, Lin Qi wasn't crushed by that massive force.

Using the counterforce, he leaped high like a cannonball.

He flipped in the air and landed steadily on the Thunder Tyrant's shoulder.

The giant beast's shoulder was as broad as a flat plain.

Lin Qi steadied himself and raised the zhan ye heavy sword.

He aimed the tip of the sword at the energy node on the Thunder Tyrant's neck, where the deep purple lightning was densest.

"Big guy, let me borrow some of your electricity!"
