CHAPTER 832: CHAPTER 826: VOID STORM

"Damn it!"

From the scorched earth where flames continuously fell, a curse from Zhao Yincheng resounded. The flames here descended too frequently, and even with their level of strength, it was sometimes quite troublesome to handle.

Bound by a gravitational constraint ten times heavier than elsewhere, it was difficult for them to deftly evade these flames.

Bang!

Ye Xuan suddenly halted his steps, and a searing fireball smashed down fiercely in front of him, leaving a charred and blackened crater.

Apart from Elder Jin and the other solitary swordsman, others generally faced some troubles. However, the trouble wasn’t significant for Ye Xuan, and the few dangerous situations were actually deliberate openings he left. With his keen perception, these weren’t considered troubles at all.

"We’ve arrived."

Just as the group felt frustrated and irritable, Elder Jin’s voice suddenly came from ahead.

Ahead, there seemed to be a discovery. The fireballs there started to become sparse, and slowly, the entire space seemed to become tranquil.

"Trouble’s coming."

However, a serious expression suddenly crossed Ye Xuan’s face. In the scene observed by the Emperor’s Eye, a dark cyan storm, linking heaven and earth, was spinning at a terrifying speed nearby. The sharpness of the gang wind within it made even Ye Xuan’s skin feel a chill.

"It’s a Void Storm. This is truly troublesome." Elder Jin and others, watching this scene, also shook their heads helplessly, their faces turning grim.

"Everyone, gather around me."

Elder Jin reminded solemnly, then sat down cross-legged. As his mind spread, he summoned a treasure—a colossal city filled with golden lightning. As he activated this ancient palace treasure, numerous ancient runes within the palace began to flicker with rays of light, emanating a powerful wave.

"It’s the Ancient Saint Artifact, Thunderstorm City!"

Zhao Yincheng and Kong Rushuang’s pupils contracted. Thunderstorm City, a mighty holy artifact, was renowned on par with the complete Heaven and Earth Thunder Talisman and not much less than the Three Emperors’ Sacred Artifacts listed among the top ten wonders.

This Thunderstorm City was the signature treasure of Elder Jin, but only a six-star elder-level commander like Elder Jin could possess an artifact of this level.

Woo woo...

Outside, the dark storm, like an interminable demonic python, rampaged madly. Suddenly, someone in the group was enveloped by the storm and was swept away instantly.

Ah!

Miserable screams echoed endlessly. The strong individual, possessing the cultivation of a five-star commander, was torn to pieces by the Void Storm after being swept away, unable to break free.

"Get inside quickly!"

Elder Jin’s expression changed as he shouted sharply. Witnessing this, the others realized the gravity of the situation and rushed under the protection of Thunderstorm City. This was no joke; the Void Storm capable of killing a five-star commander meant that most of the people here were in mortal danger.

The Void Storm approached rapidly, and soon its range of influence reached Thunderstorm City. Instantly, urgent ripples surged over the light shield on the surface of Thunderstorm City, causing even the palace body to sway. A cold snort emanated from within the palace, followed by substantial bolts of lightning circling around Thunderstorm City, glistening like a fortified wall of gold.

"Go!"

A cold shout rang out again, and Thunderstorm City charged straight out, plunging directly into the Void Storm.

Bang bang bang!

The fiercely violent storm bombarded that copper wall-like defense overwhelmingly. The dazzling brilliance on the lightning dimmed at an alarming pace, making the others feel faintly apprehensive. This Void Storm was indeed terrifying; no wonder no one dared to come here.

This Qi Ye Ancient Mansion was hidden at this place, and it’s no wonder no one could ever find it.

This region was extremely perilous, and only someone like Elder Jin, with his abundant True Yuan and the backing of a treasure like Thunderstorm City, could maintain considerable speed. Once they breached the storm’s coverage, they should be able to reach the depths of this scorched earth quickly.

"Careful."

However, just as the group prepared to maintain this pace, Ye Xuan suddenly felt a chill sweeping from behind. The ground below them cracked abruptly, revealing over ten gigantic tentacles, each a thousand feet long, shooting out and coiling towards Thunderstorm City.

This development gave Lin Dong a fright. Glancing down, he saw a colossal beast, tens of thousands of feet tall, emerging from the ground, its body brimming with countless massive tentacles, which were engulfed in scalding magma.

"It’s the Extreme Land Magma Beast."

Seeing the giant beast, Elder Jin frowned and said.

"Extreme Land Magma Beast?" Ye Xuan asked, frowning.

"A mutated demon beast, only found in the extreme south. They have low intelligence but extremely long lifespans. Judging by its size, it’s likely lived for at least over a thousand years."

"Everyone, I’ll need to concentrate fully on controlling Thunderstorm City. Dealing with this Extreme Land Magma Beast is up to you. Otherwise, let’s not even talk about going to Qi Ye Ancient Mansion; we won’t even get past here and will perish instead." Elder Jin said in a deep voice.

"Leave it to us."

A glint flashed in Zhao Yincheng’s eyes. With so many experts here, a single Extreme Land Magma Beast wouldn’t be sufficient to trap them all.

"Dust Escape, Silver Transformation!"

Just as innumerable tentacles were about to ensnare Thunderstorm City, a cold snort rang out, and a vast silver ribbon swept forth. Wherever it passed, the crimson tentacles quickly turned into silver metal and shattered instantly into dissipating silver dust.

"Freezing Crystal."

Kong Rushuang waved her hand, and a layer of ice-blue crystal spread over those tentacles, accompanied by a storm of ice shards.

Screech screech!

With a series of assaults sweeping by, the thousand-foot tentacles were cut off, with blood spurting like a rain of blood.

Roar!

Hit heavily, the Extreme Land Magma Beast let out anguished roars, attacking even more frantically. However, under Elder Jin’s spell, Thunderstorm City appeared impregnable, though its tremors grew increasingly violent.

"Damn it!"

Zhao Yincheng frowned deeply, then focused his gaze on Ye Xuan, a gleam flashing in his eyes. "Brother Ye Xuan, word has it that you possess the Earth Emperor Book. At this critical juncture, it’s time you contribute some effort."

"Earth Emperor Book?"

The mention of the Earth Emperor Book drew immediate attention and gazes. They had indeed forgotten that Ye Xuan had once wielded the Earth Emperor Book, one of the Three Emperors’ Sacred Artifacts, in his fight against Lei Qianzhang, a fact that had now spread far and wide.
