187: Chapter 186 The Terrifying Beings Within Thunder Abyss
Xia Jin, who had already stepped into the Thunder Abyss, did not feel any fear. Watching the sky-filling lightning pillars descend upon him, he did not make a move to block them, but instead let those lightning pillars strike his Physical Body.
As expected.
The next second, the corners of Xia Jin's mouth curled up slightly.
Those divine lightning bolts, which were sufficient to reduce ordinary Creation Realm experts to ashes, did not cause him the slightest bit of harm after falling upon him. On the contrary, that lightning light seeped into his body, transforming into streams of pure thunder energy, traveling along his Meridians throughout his entire body, constantly tempering his Physical Body.
"It seems that, just as I suspected, it is because I have Cultivated the Shenxiao Lightning Technique. Earlier, when I first entered the lightning pool, those relatively weak electric arcs already showed a sense of affinity towards me."
"Since that is the case..."
Xia Jin smiled slightly and quickened his pace, walking toward the depths of the Thunder Abyss.
The lightning pillars all around grew increasingly violent, one after another, as dense as a torrential downpour. Yet, Xia Jin strolled as if he were walking in his own courtyard, letting those lightning lights submerge him.
With every step he took, countless lightning lights entered his body.
With every breath he took, his Physical Body grew a fraction stronger.
This exhilarating feeling gave Xia Jin an unexpected pleasant surprise.
He did not know how long he had walked when Xia Jin suddenly stopped.
Not far ahead, a drop of liquid was suspended in mid-air, its entire body glowing with seven-colored light, yet the aura permeating from it was so pure that it was heart-palpitating.
"Could this be the thunder tribulation liquid that Mu Qing mentioned?"
A flash of joy appeared in Xia Jin's eyes. He immediately stepped forward and reached out to grab the seven-colored liquid.
However, at the very moment his finger was about to touch that drop of liquid,
Whoosh!
That drop of seven-colored liquid was like a startled rabbit, suddenly darting several yards backward, dodging Xia Jin's hand.
"Hmm?"
Xia Jin frowned slightly. This thing actually possessed spirituality?
He did not rush to chase it, but instead walked forward at a leisurely pace in the direction where the liquid had fled.
The deeper he went, the denser the lightning light around him became, and the thunder aura permeating the air grew more and more terrifying. Yet, Xia Jin's expression grew increasingly surprised.
Because in front of him, what came into view were dense, countless seven-colored light spots! A rough count showed that there were at least a hundred drops suspended in mid-air!
Over a hundred drops of thunder tribulation liquid!
If Mu Qing were to find out about this, he would probably be scared to death.
Xia Jin took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the joy in his heart, and reached out to grab the nearest few drops of thunder tribulation liquid.
But to his surprise, those hundred-plus drops of thunder tribulation liquid seemed to be startled and converged in the same direction.
In the blink of an eye, the hundred-plus drops of thunder tribulation liquid fused together, and a small, entirely seven-colored snake appeared.
The small snake was only the size of a thumb, its pair of vertical pupils coldly staring at Xia Jin, its scarlet tongue flicking in and out of its mouth from time to time. There seemed to be a hint of... mockery in those vertical pupils?
"Little thing, you actually dare to laugh at this Prince?"
Xia Jin's gaze instantly turned cold, and he reached out to grab the seven-colored small snake.
However, the seven-colored small snake did not dodge or avoid, but instead turned into a stream of light and violently slammed into Xia Jin's palm!
Bang!!
A dull sound of impact rang out. For the first time, a look of surprise appeared on Xia Jin's face.
He withdrew his hand and looked down at his palm. It was actually slightly red. A few wisps of tiny electric light were wandering on his skin, sending waves of slight stinging pain.
This little fellow, formed from the Fusion of over a hundred drops of thunder tribulation liquid... its strength was actually not at all weaker than an ordinary Creation Realm expert!
Xia Jin raised his head and carefully examined the seven-colored small snake. The other party held its head high, and a hint of smugness flashed in its vertical pupils.
"Interesting."
Xia Jin was not angry; instead, he laughed. No wonder Mu Qing said that even after ten lightning pool assessments, there might not be a single person who could bring back the thunder tribulation liquid. If they encountered a small snake like the one in front of him, formed from the Fusion of thunder tribulation liquid, ordinary Temple Disciples coming in would be lucky to keep their lives, let alone take away the thunder tribulation liquid.
"However..." Xia Jin's mouth curled up slightly, and a playful look flashed in his eyes, "With just this bit of ability, you still have to obediently fall into this Prince's hands."
While speaking, a Sun Mark appeared once again in the center of his forehead! The terrifying aura on Xia Jin's body surged out!
He waved his hand, and a massive force instantly enveloped the seven-colored small snake. No matter how it struggled, it could not break free in the slightest.
"Come here."
Xia Jin reached out and grabbed the seven-colored small snake by its vital spot.
Hiss, hiss, hiss. The small snake twisted frantically, its whole body's lightning light surging, struggling desperately. But Xia Jin's palm was like an iron clamp, not moving a single bit.
The next moment, a light flashed in the center of Xia Jin's forehead, and the seven-colored small snake was directly taken into his Sea of Consciousness.
Deep within the Sea of Consciousness, that bronze bell vibrated gently. An invisible force of suppression descended. The seven-colored small snake, which had been struggling desperately just a moment ago, instantly quieted down, lying there obediently, not daring to move again.
Done. Xia Jin's mouth curled up slightly.
However, at the very moment that seven-colored small snake was suppressed, Hiss!!! A sharp, ear-piercing screech suddenly rang throughout the entire Thunder Abyss! This directly caused Xia Jin's expression to change!
He did not have any hesitation at all; his internal power was instantly pushed to the limit, and his entire person turned into a stream of light, frantically speeding forward!
Faster! Even faster!!
The pressure contained in that screech made even Xia Jin feel a tingling sensation on his scalp. That was definitely an existence far beyond the Creation Realm!
The lightning pillars around him were crashing down frantically, but Xia Jin could not care about these at all; he just desperately pushed his speed, running forward wildly.
At his speed, it took a full few dozen breaths of time before he finally rushed out of that dark area.
The moment he rushed out of the Thunder Abyss, Xia Jin's figure paused, and he suddenly looked back.
Within the dark lightning light, a huge figure could be vaguely seen, quietly standing not far behind him.
That figure was too huge, so much so that only a blurry outline could be seen. But that pair of eyes... even though they were far apart, even though they were separated by the sky-filling lightning light, Xia Jin could still clearly see those eyes.
Indifferent. Majestic. As if looking down at ants.
A chill instantly rose up Xia Jin's spine.
Those eyes stared at Xia Jin for a full few seconds. Then, the figure slowly turned around and disappeared into the depths of the lightning light.
"..." Xia Jin stood in place and took a deep breath.
"What was that thing just now?"
Xia Jin muttered to himself, a flash of lingering fear in his eyes. That was definitely an existence that transcended the Creation Realm.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for it to make him feel such a sense of inability to resist just by a single glance.
Xia Jin was silent for a moment, shook his head, and suppressed the shock in his heart.
