Free Web NovelChapter 661: Chapter 33: Hope for the Top-Grade Thunder Pool
"Truly sinister!" Zhou Xun remarked with interest.
At that moment, a curtain of light flickered, and bolts of lightning as thick as thumbs shot down toward Zhou Xun and the Spirit Turtle Red Noon.
But they were all easily deflected by Zhou Xun’s Wood Element Shield!
"It even has counterattack capabilities, truly fascinating!"
As Zhou Xun spoke, he slapped his Blood Demon Bag,
and five Blood Demon Children, each about a dozen feet tall, entirely crimson with black streaks on their faces, flew out.
"Roar, roar!"
The Blood Demon Children simultaneously performed spells, pointing at themselves,
and the scene was filled with a blood-colored mist. Then, the five Blood Demon Children vanished, replaced by eleven Blood Demon Generals, each several feet tall, covered entirely in blood-red armor.
"Boom!"
The moment the Blood Demon Generals appeared, they didn’t hesitate at all, directly punching heavily against the curtain of light,
’Sizzle!’
Sounds of cracking could be heard, seemingly about to shatter, but as those demonic beings spat out a blue light, the curtain of light restored itself to its original state.
"Even the Blood Demon Generals are ineffective!"
Zhou Xun sighed, his power had increased so quickly that these Blood Demon Generals were becoming less useful to him.
"If there’s an opportunity, I should find a way to enhance them again,"
"If I could get five Nascent Soul Level Blood Demon Children, they might even be able to stand their ground against a Great Cultivator when working together!"
Thinking of this, Zhou Xun ceased probing the light curtain,
with a flip of his palm, the Profound Thunder Sword appeared in his hand, then he lightly tossed it.
The Thunder Sword transformed to about three feet long, hovering before him, surrounded by flickering Thunder Arcs!
"Sword Shadow Unification"
He proceeded to perform a hand spell, chanting softly,
from his fingertips, mana surged, casting a Spirit Light towards the Profound Thunder Sword!
Sword lights appeared out of nowhere, circling around Zhou Xun,
then the spell transformed,
these sword lights merged into the Profound Thunder Sword one by one, and after all eighty-one sword lights had merged,
the entire Thunder Sword became extremely radiant, trembling slightly, as if excited for the attack.
"Go!"
Looking indifferently at the surrounding demonic beings, Zhou Xun pointed lightly towards them!
The Thunder Sword streaked past as a remnant shadow, shooting directly at the curtain of light,
"Tsss—"
like a tire being punctured and deflating, the curtain of light was effortlessly shattered,
while the Thunder Sword’s momentum didn’t diminish, bending back to pierce through the demonic beings one by one,
like stringing gourds,
in just one round, over a dozen demonic beings perished,
the remaining demonic beings, seeing this, scattered and fled,
"Chase them down, make sure none escape!" Zhou Xun ordered,
whereupon the Spirit Turtle Red Noon and the Blood Demon Generals transformed into two remnant shadows, giving chase.
Meanwhile, Zhou Xun turned his gaze toward the fallen demonic beings,
their corpses suddenly becoming transparent, then like mist, slowly dissipating, finally merging with the boundless fog,
leaving only a half-transparent Thunder Pearl flashing with Thunder Light in place.
Zhou Xun beckoned, drawing them all into his hand.
These Thunder Pearls seemed to have no physical form, consisting of condensed Thunder Element Essence Qi, and upon touching with a finger,
"Sizzle—"
there were Thunder Arcs reflecting back,
witnessing this, Zhou Xun couldn’t help but be overjoyed,
"This is pure Thunder Element Power, only appearing this way because of the residual souls of those demonic beings. Once I drive out their residual souls,"
"what’ll be left is pure Thunder Element Power!"
With this in mind, he made a gesture, summoning a large mass of Yin Thunder, which enveloped the Thunder Pearl,
amidst some faint screams, the Thunder Pearl turned an even deeper blue, profound,
its original round pearl shape slowly expanding into a smoke-like form, condensed yet not dispersing!
"Pure Thunder Element Power!"
Zhou Xun’s mouth slightly opened, and a square Thunder Pool flew out, hovering in front of him,
he then drew the Thunder Element Power into the Thunder Pool, which was instantly absorbed,
Zhou Xun felt invigorated, a sense of fulfillment overcame him, and the aura of the Thunder Pool seemed to grow more robust,
"Good, good, good, it really works!"
In this way, he doesn’t have to worry about the items needed for his Lifebound Thunder Pool to advance to a High-Grade Magical Treasure!
At this time, he also recalled a record in a certain scripture about such a creature.
"Thunder Element Spirit!"
"Only in regions where Thunder Element Power is extremely abundant could such a spiritual object be nurtured. This is indeed a rare opportunity."
"I can hunt some here; the Thunder Element Power can never be too much at any time!"
Zhou Xun laughed heartily and stored all these pearls in his storage bag.
Meanwhile, sounds of battle echoed from afar, mixed with the shouts of the Spirit Turtle Red Noon, rising and falling.
"Indeed, it was intercepted!"
Zhou Xun was delighted in his heart, and with a flap of his Thunderbolt Wings, he appeared several hundred feet away. In a few leaps, he was beside the Spirit Turtle Red Noon.
At over a thousand feet ahead, a larger Thunder Element Spirit with a bull’s body and snake’s tail was in an intense battle with the Spirit Turtle Red Noon!
"Tier Four Low-Grade Thunder Element Spirit!"
Sensing the aura on this spiritual creature, Zhou Xun was overjoyed!
With such a level of Thunder Element Spirit, enough quantity could likely advance the Thunder Pool to Top-Grade!
With a beckoning gesture, the Profound Thunder Sword flew out again, ready to strike.
But the Thunder Element Spirit seemed like a startled rabbit, curling its body, transforming into a ball of thunder light, darting rapidly into the distance, thus escaping.
"Quick, chase, don’t let it slip away!"
Zhou Xun shouted a command, flapping his Thunderbolt Wings to give chase.
The body of this Thunder Element Spirit, like a cultivator’s Nascent Soul, is not solid, existing halfway between the tangible and the ethereal. Extremely nimble,
Its speed, although not as swift as instant teleportation, is almost the same!
Zhou Xun chased with all his might using his Thunderbolt Wings, just barely able to keep up.
Half an hour later, Zhou Xun kept his distance from the Thunder Element Spirit. By this time, he had chased deep into the fog.
The surrounding Thunder Power grew even more intense, with arcs of thunder continuously attacking the Wood Element Light Shield, swiftly depleting his mana.
Suddenly,
the Thunder Element Spirit vanished from sight as if disappearing into thin air.
Zhou Xun was astonished.
He immediately pursued.
When he arrived at the location where the Thunder Element Spirit vanished, he unexpectedly discovered an island standing there!
"Lake Heart Island?"
This lake also held a Lake Heart Island, and the thunder power in the lake water, and the fog, seemed to originate from this place!
"Just now, that Thunder Element Spirit disappeared here, let’s go in and have a look!"
Zhou Xun did not hesitate and flew straight in.
After entering, the thick misty scene disappeared, and the inside became clear and visible, devoid of any dust, like a new world after a rain.
What surprised him even more was that on this vast island, there existed a lake within the island. Only, flowing within was not lake water,
but Thunder Juice!
This was Thunder Power condensed to the extreme, forming this Thunder Juice lake. Within such a lake, treasures abundant in Thunder Element Power surely exist,
and the Thunder Element Spirit was likely born here!
"Truly worth the trip!" Zhou Xun laughed heartily.
At this time, he wasn’t in a rush to chase that Thunder Element Spirit, evidently it resides within the lake.
He lowered his head and pondered for a moment.
Zhou Xun patted his waist, took out a wooden box three feet long, and tossed it into the air.
The lid opened,
and a hundred and eight array flags flew out, floating in the air.
The Tier Four Middle-Grade Array ’Five Elements Chao Yuan Grand Array!’, from when he killed the True Monarch of Profound Control long ago.
Then he took out the Manipulation Command Flag and waved it gently.
The flags fell according to the positions of the array, then rose up forming a five-colored light shield, encompassing the entire Thunder Juice lake.
In this way, no creature could escape!
After finishing this, the Spirit Turtle Red Noon also arrived.
"My Lord, this is... a lake formed of Thunder Juice!" The Spirit Turtle Red Noon was greatly astonished, given his previous high status, his experiences were vast.
But such a peculiar place before his eyes was his first time seeing.
"Indeed, and that Thunder Element Spirit escaped into it... I’ve set up the array, it certainly cannot escape, I’m going in for further pursuit,"
"You guard the perimeter well, and if anyone approaches, notify me immediately!"
"Yes!"
The Spirit Turtle Red Noon nodded in agreement, suspended above the array, sitting cross-legged.
After instructing everything, Zhou Xun’s figure flashed and pursued into the Thunder Juice lake.
