Chapter 1290 Thunder Zone

Chapter 1290 Thunder Zone

Toady suddenly remarked, "In my opinion, Ruowu isn't simple either."

Someone had mentioned earlier that she possessed a mysterious ice coffin containing a star map, which had immediately drawn Toady’s attention.

The big black bird gave its two cents, "In the ancient era, the pure-blooded Vermillion Bird was a terrifying clan that could stand shoulder to shoulder with the likes of the True Dragon, Immortal Phoenix, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise Clans. If those rumors about her background are true, it would indeed be very astonishing."

Lin Xun recalled the time when he first attempted to cross the Boundary River. He had seen a giant silver-white bear and a dragon turtle while trying to obtain a soul source.

The dragon turtle had been carrying a ten-foot-long ice coffin that was surrounded by wisps of sacred starlight. Various carvings of flowers, birds, insects, fish, the sun, the moon, mountains, rivers, and ancestral sacrifices had been engraved onto the coffin which exuded a mysterious and timeless aura.

However, the most heart-palpitating part of the coffin was the star map on its lid that depicted a vast and boundless cosmos!

The most absurd part of the entire affair was that both the giant silver-white bear and the dragon turtle carrying the ice coffin had trembled in fear and hurriedly fled at the sight of him while screaming ‘old lunatic’ and ‘old lunatic’s aura…’

Presently, upon learning that Fairy Ruowu, who was ranked second on the Genius Golden Rankings, owned a mysterious ice coffin, Lin Xun couldn't help but wonder if she was the ‘object’ that was being protected by the giant silver-white bear and the dragon turtle.

"In my opinion, Yuan Fatian shouldn’t be underestimated either. He’s rumored to be a descendant of the extremely terrifying Snubbed-Nose Monkey lineage, who are said to have herculean strength and can chase away ghosts and gods!"

"Agreed, he’s known to be an overbearing individual who acts with reckless abandon, and his body cultivation has reached the sixth longevity tribulation stage. He can also transform into a 10,000-foot-tall golden body that can move mountains and split the sea with overwhelming might."

"I heard that this Yuan Fatian practices a heaven-defying body cultivation inheritance of mysterious origins called the Nine Pure Saint Body Art..."

A discussion in the distance again caught Lin Xun's attention.

Nine Pure Saint Body Art!

From its name, Lin Xun deduced that Yuan Fatian must be the Little Young Master who had been slumbering in the Five Elements Holy Island of Return Dominion and was watched over by an old Saint stage ape!

Lin Xun raised an eyebrow. "So he has also arrived at the Upper Nine Realms and is now one of the top ten rankers on the Genius Golden Rankings..."

He suddenly recalled that the Nine Pure Saint Body Art was a Saint Scripture that recorded body cultivation secrets related to the Saint stage.

Hence, there must be some kind of great secret that allowed Yuan Fatian to practice it before reaching the Saint stage!

Lin Xun inwardly said, "If the opportunity comes, I would like to spar with him to see if I can glean some insights into his secrets..."

"The outside world has changed so much in the past two years."

Toady sighed. "It’s sad that even a bunch of random people can become famous when there are no heroes. Fortunately, this king is back. In the future, this king’s name shall be sung in all of the Upper Nine Realms!"

"Heh heh." The big black bird nearly spat in disdain. It was repulsed by Toady’s self-absorbed character.

Toady ignored the big black bird's reaction as he looked at Lin Xun and said, ''Oh, that's right, are you going to attempt the test?"

Lin Xun was taken aback. Soon after, he shook his head. "Forget it."

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to but becoming too famous now would only lead to more trouble.

He didn't wish to be watched by others wherever he went.

People like Shaohao, Ruowu, and Yuan Fatian were currently the focal point of the entire Upper Nine Realms, which meant that they would inevitably be watched by countless gazes.

This was the effect of fame and reputation, of which the pros and cons would be evaluated differently from individual to individual.

For someone like Lin Xun, there was no shortage of such opportunities to make a name for himself.

Of course, he didn’t mind showing his strength when necessary to deter some of the more narrow-minded people.

"What about you?"

Lin Xun was puzzled because Toady was someone who loved the limelight.

Toady calmly answered, "In this king's eyes, only the title of number one is worthy of me. Unfortunately, this king doesn't wish to take it just yet."

The big black bird taunted, "Bullshit, it’s not that you don’t wish to but because you don't dare to. You’re worried that you won’t even rank among the top hundred if you attempt the test, which will be quite disgraceful."

"Thieving bird, are you asking to die?"

Angered, Toady raised his foot to try and kick the big black bird.

"Heh heh."

The big black bird spread its wings and abruptly took off into the air. It laughed fearlessly and displayed a mocking expression that nearly made Toady go crazy with rage.

With regards to the ability to pull hate, the big black bird and A’lu were definitely on par. Both of them were more than capable of being vulgar and despicable.

Someone shrieked, "Eh, isn’t that big black bird somewhat familiar?"

Lin Xun instantly realized that he was about to be recognized. He immediately gestured at the big black bird and Toady before he hurriedly departed.

"That’s Demon God Lin!"

Not long after they left, someone said, "He has once again appeared after two years."

"Demon God Lin?" I can’t believe he’s left Stupa Brahma Land. Is he also here for the blessing in the Ancient Land of All?"

Several people grew curious.

"If so, he's arrived a step too late. Everyone knows that the emperor’s mound that has been sealed for thousands of years in the Ancient Land of All has been surrounded by numerous experts and ordinary experts wouldn’t even dare to approach!"

"Yeah, I've heard that Underworld Son, Bai Longting, and other formidable experts have been spotted among the experts camping in the vicinity of the emperor’s mound."

The Ancient Land of All had finally revealed its true face recently. No one could have expected that it would turn out to be the mound of an Emperor expert!

The revelation had caused a huge stir and resulted in countless experts rushing over.

The frightening part, however, was that people were constantly being killed every day in the vicinity of the emperor's mound. No one knew how many experts had died already.

Even some of the more famous experts had regretfully lost their lives.

As such, experts who knew about this and felt they weren’t sufficiently strong didn’t dare to approach for fear of getting swept up in the carnage.

"Two years ago, Demon God Lin slaughtered the Omega Sword Sect disciples with overwhelming power. I wonder how big of a storm he'll cause this time around."

Some people grew expectant.

Someone sneered, "Don't overestimate him. The vicinity of the mound is filled with countless powerful experts. It’s like a giant trap that will make anyone who falls into it suffer."

……

The Ancient Land of All was relatively easy to locate in the Thunder Jolt Realm.

Along the way, Lin Xun managed to gather more information about it.

He was a little surprised to find out that the Ancient Land of All had been fully unsealed not long ago.

Moreover, countless experts were currently rushing to the emperor's mound that had been unearthed in the Ancient Land of All!

"The mound of an Emperor expert? That was impossible. Only terrifying individuals who had transcended the Saint stage could attain the Emperor stage. How could such a horrifying existence have died here?"

Both Toady and the big black bird were also bewildered by the news.

Emperor experts were the most supreme existences that had far exceeded the Saint stage. They could lord over all Saint experts, and their titles alone were enough to intimidate everyone for a long time.

Such existences were considered eternal and shared a lifespan with time itself. Unless they encountered an unpredictable and monstrous catastrophe, it was almost impossible for them to be eroded by time.

That was why an emperor’s mound...was simply absurd!

"Regardless of whether this emperor's mound is real, I'm more concerned about whether A’lu is in the Ancient Land of All."

Lin Xun frowned.

The situation wasn’t optimistic. With the seal disappearing earlier than anticipated and the emperor’s mound being surrounded by numerous experts, there would most certainly be trouble when they arrived.

Two days later.

Thunder rumbled endlessly across the land like the ever rising and falling tide.

A raging torrent of lightning could be seen in the distance. Resplendent lightning wildly danced between heaven and earth, exuding an aura that seemed capable of bringing an end to the world.

Not even a single blade of grass could be found. The land was stained with lightning qi and even sparks were visible in the air. It was a sight that would make anyone’s scalp turn numb.

To make things worse, the deeper one ventured the more terrifying the thunder power grew, and it even began to take on various forms that flickered and rushed about.

It was as if they had arrived at the land of thunder and lightning!

Even Lin Xun and the others couldn’t help but gasp at the sight. It was definitely a dangerous place!

The Ancient Land of All was located in the deepest depths of this area.

Just as they were about to enter, Lin Xun and the others discovered a white rainbow-like road that seemed to extend into the depths of the thunder zone. It was akin to a bridge that was somehow separate from the world of lightning and thunder.

This made Lin Xun and the others breathe a sigh of relief. Without such a path, they honestly wouldn’t dare to take a single step into the thunder zone.

The thunder and lightning here were akin to a storm that filled heaven and earth. The destructive aura of the zone could slay even ghosts and gods, and it was no different from a natural disaster!

The big black bird said, "These paths definitely weren’t here previously. It was probably after the seal was lifted that they appeared to grant cultivators the opportunity to enter."

Toady nodded in agreement.

"Let's head over. When we arrive at the Ancient Land of All, I'll contact Holy Maiden Lin Xue to see if we can get any updates from her on the situation."

Lin Xun made his decision.

He led Toady and the big black bird to the white rainbow-like path.

Crackle! Rumble!

Thunder and lightning relentlessly poured from the sky as if seeking to destroy the world and bring about eternal despair.

However, when they neared the white rainbow-like path, they were erased by an invisible layer of restriction power.

This made Lin Xun and the others feel a little more at ease. Despite this, they didn't dare to be negligent and remained alert.

There was thunder and lightning as far as the eye could see. It was impossible to tell how much land they covered and where they originated from.

Moreover, the deeper one went, the denser the power of thunder became.

As they ventured deeper in, Lin Xun and the others were surprised to see the silhouettes of what appeared to be thunder spirits appearing and drifting about amidst the churning lightning...
