754: Chapter 755 Entering the Eye of Thunder

"Go!"

Fang Hanyu opened his eyes almost at the same time, transforming into a hazy gray sword light and following closely behind.

"Haha, now that's more like it!" Mo Yu laughed wildly, his Qilin blood-qi erupting as he plunged into the Sea of Thunder like a blood-red meteor.

"Senior Brother, wait for me!"

Wang Xiaopang shouted, frantically slapping Talismans all over his body until he turned into a shimmering golden Talisman-man, then gritted his teeth and jumped down.

Ling Xi transformed into a devouring vortex and drifted into the lightning. In an instant, only Dong Li remained at the peak of the stone mountain.

The calmness on his face had long since vanished, replaced by a rare paleness and hesitation.

The sea of all-destroying lightning below held a deterrent far beyond others for a Cultivator like him, who specialized in the Dao of Divine Soul illusions.

His Divine Soul might be able to withstand the impact, but this relatively weak Immortal Lord Physical Body probably wouldn't last long.

To jump, or not to jump?

Just as he gritted his teeth, the illusory light in his eyes flickering intensely as he prepared to close his eyes and jump down.

A gentle yet firm force pressed lightly on his shoulder. Xiao Ruobai, who had already jumped down, had somehow returned to the mountain peak against the lightning!

"I almost forgot, an illusionist like you is most afraid of this kind of direct lightning."

Xiao Ruobai smiled slightly, then flipped his wrist, revealing a blood-red Medicinal Pill the size of a longan in his palm.

"Catch." He tossed the Medicinal Pill to Dong Li. "This is a Body Tempering Pill from Revered Master. Its grade is unknown, but it might be of some use."

Dong Li caught it subconsciously. "Grade unknown? Will... will this work?"

Dong Li couldn't help but look at the roaring lightning below again, his legs trembling slightly.

"Just eat it, off you go!"

Before Xiao Ruobai could finish his sentence, he kicked Dong Li down.

"Boom—!!!" The lightning instantly swallowed them both.

"Holy crap, crap, crap, crap!! I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die!!" Dong Li's screams and weird cries instantly rang out amidst the violent thunder.

Even after swallowing that Body Tempering Pill, the pervasive destructive fluctuations and terrifying tremors still made him feel like he had been thrown into a cosmic millstone to be repeatedly crushed. Every inch of his flesh and every wisp of his Divine Soul were screaming.

"Three inches to the left, teleport!"

Xiao Ruobai's steady voice came clearly through the thunderstorm, as a condensed force of blood-qi forcibly swept away a section of the lightning net on his left.

Following the instructions almost by instinct, Dong Li flickered with illusory light and narrowly avoided a bucket-thick bolt of pitch-black Silent Annihilation Lightning.

"Above you, a lightning core is condensing, you can't dodge it! Focus and tank it!"

Xiao Ruobai's voice rang out again. Simultaneously, he swung his halberd, deflecting most of a main lightning bolt aimed at Dong Li, but the residual lightning power still slammed solidly into Dong Li's protective divine light.

"Argh—! Do you have a problem with me?!"

Dong Li was struck until smoke rose from his body, his hair standing on end, and his pearl's light flickering rapidly. He felt as if countless red-hot steel needles were being driven into his Sea of Consciousness. The pain made him grimace, and he was almost in tears.

He complained wildly in his mind, "I'm really asking for trouble! A perfectly good Great Master of illusions, coming to this godforsaken place to get struck by lightning!!"

The intrusion of the six was like dropping ice into a boiling pot of oil, instantly triggering the fury of the entire Silent Extinction Thunder Marsh!

Infinite gray-purple divine lightning, as if alive, converged from all directions, turning into billions of lightning Dragons that crashed down frantically toward the six!

This power was ten or a hundred times more terrifying than any Legacy ruin's guardian trial in the outside world!

Xiao Ruobai let out a long roar, no longer suppressing himself. His pale golden War God Blood-Qi erupted completely, as he actively attracted the sky full of lightning to his body!

He wasn't just tanking it; the moment the lightning touched him, he used his War God will to command his blood-qi, evolving infinite changes. He used this Silent Annihilation Divine Lightning to temper his Physical Body, boil his blood-qi, and hone his Battle Intent!

Every bolt of lightning that fell made his blood-qi boil and left scorch marks on his body. But beneath those marks, his new skin shimmered with a more restrained and resilient pale golden luster. His comprehension of the War God Body skyrocketed.

Around Fang Hanyu, Chaos Sword Qi opened up automatically, forming a hazy gray-white Domain.

When the divine lightning struck the Domain, it didn't explode but was quickly decomposed and assimilated by the Chaos Sword Qi, turning into the most primal violent lightning energy and Silent Annihilation Dao Law fragments.

A portion was absorbed and refined by his Sword Intent, adding a touch of destructive and terminal sharpness to his Chaos Sword Qi.

Mo Yu directly manifested a dozens-of-meters-tall kirin dharma body, roaring at the sky as he used his Physical Body and surging blood-qi to clash head-on with the lightning!

Lightning and blood-light collided and annihilated each other frantically. His massive dharma body was struck until scales flew and flesh was charred, but the unyielding Battle Intent and boundless vitality within his Qilin Bloodline were fully ignited.

Every time he was injured, his body became even stronger after healing, and his blood-qi carried a hint of Silent Annihilation Lightning power. He was using the Lightning Tribulation to forge his body and refine his Indestructible Battle Blood!

Wang Xiaopang was screaming, but the Talismans in his hands flew out like scattering flower petals. He wasn't tanking it head-on; instead, he used the Talisman Dao to simulate, analyze, and guide the lightning.

Complex runes lit up in the air, some forming lightning-avoidance array patterns, some forming lightning induction channels, and some even attempting to imprint the Silent Annihilation Dao marks contained within the lightning.

Though he was in a sorry state, his hair standing on end and his face black as coal, his Talisman Dao understanding of lightning and Silent Annihilation power, as well as his ability to adapt and control lightning with Talismans, were improving at a terrifying speed.

Ling Xi was like a walking black hole. She was no longer satisfied with devouring the lightning that attacked her; she actively expanded her devouring power, forcibly pulling and swallowing large swaths of nearby lightning into her body!

The Silent Annihilation Divine Lightning, which could instantly vaporize anyone of the same level, was forcibly suppressed and refined by the devouring power within her, transforming into pure and violent energy.

Six people, six completely different methods, yet all were undergoing their own most brutal and effective tempering in the same desperate lightning marsh!

This wasn't accepting a gift from predecessors; this was carving out their own unique paths in a desperate situation!

Time seemed to lose its meaning in this lightning Hell.

An unknown amount of time passed—perhaps a day, perhaps several.

The six had already ventured deep into the heart of the lightning marsh, getting closer and closer to the pitch-black Thunder Eye in the center.

The lightning here was no longer gray-purple but a deep, near-black color. Each bolt was as thick as a mountain, containing Law of Extinction that would make an Immortal Sovereign frown.

All six were wounded, their auras fluctuating violently, but their eyes grew brighter and brighter, like divine weapons tempered a thousand times, about to be sharpened.

Finally, after enduring the strikes of eighty-one of the most terrifying black lightning Dragons, the protective divine lights around the six were long shattered.

Each covered in wounds, almost simultaneously, they stumbled into that hundred-zhang-wide Thunder Eye!
