Free Web NovelChapter 669: Chapter 37: Tide Surge Erupts, Hong Chuan Falls!
Immediately, countless bolts of lightning poured down like a torrential rain, forming lightning cascades, enveloping the entire world in this violent storm.
The lightning struck the ground and exploded instantly, sending earth and stones flying, as if the end of the world had arrived, surging towards them,
as if to wash over the entire Thunder Prison!
At this moment,
At this moment, a brilliant streak of light across the distant horizon cut through the sky like a comet, speeding towards their location at an astonishing pace.
The light grew closer, and everyone could finally see clearly, it was True Monarch Hong Chuan.
True Monarch Hong Chuan’s face was filled with tension, his clothes flapping loudly in his rapid flight, his hair extremely disheveled.
Behind him, the terrifying Thunder Tide swept in like a massive tsunami.
The blue-purple lightning interwove into a frightening electric net, as if it wanted to swallow the entire world whole.
True Monarch Hong Chuan no longer cared about the destruction of his mana foundation, he ran with all his might, reaching the utmost speed.
At this moment, his heart was filled with regret,
Why did he covet that Thunder Element Crystal Source? If it weren’t for that, he wouldn’t have wasted time.
However, under his relentless sprinting, he gradually left the Thunder Tide behind,
Seeing this, Zhou Xun and the others felt a surge of joy,
In this way, in just a few moments, he could arrive here and successfully escape!
"Daoist Hong was overconfident, next time he won’t dare to be so reckless!"
True Monarch Profound Thunder sighed in relief.
"Yes, greed can be deadly!" True Monarch Profound Time chimed in,
At this moment, an unforeseen event suddenly erupted!
Before True Monarch Hong Chuan,
a massive blue-purple bolt of lightning crashed down like a pillar from the heavens, striking the speeding True Monarch Hong Chuan,
Causing his body to stiffen,
The mana rising inside him suddenly halted as if frozen, stopping him in his tracks!
Sensing this, True Monarch Hong Chuan became exceedingly anxious, knowing the Thunder Tide was not far behind,
But no matter how desperately he felt, recovery would still take a few moments, which meant little in normal times but now was life and death!
Every moment was incredibly precious!
So, True Monarch Hong Chuan watched as the Thunder Tide drew closer and closer, despair flashing in his eyes,
Regret surged within him, if given another chance, he would have left earlier!
In front of everyone’s eyes, the massive thunder light consumed True Monarch Hong Chuan like a giant beast, leaving no trace of life!
A Middle-Stage Nascent Soul Cultivator, True Monarch Hong Chuan had fallen!
"Daoist Hong!"
True Monarch Thunder Prison’s face was heavy,
Zhou Xun and the others also showed signs of sorrow, a sense of shared fate instinctively arising,
At this time, they couldn’t help but feel a chill down their spines,
If they were in the same position, they wouldn’t have been able to escape either,
Now they knew True Monarch Thunder Prison’s prior warnings were not false!
"We better leave quickly, the Thunder Tide will be upon us soon!" True Monarch Profound Time said with trembling legs, a hint of fear rising in his heart,
This suggestion was instantly agreed upon by everyone,
Fortunately, leaving didn’t require the use of "Thunderous Void Escape," otherwise with one less person, they would only be waiting for death!
Zhou Xun flipped his hand, taking a Teleportation Talisman out of his Storage Bag, activating it and sticking it to himself,
Then he looked at the whirlpool at the exit behind him,
True Monarch Thunder Prison took the lead, leaping over without hesitation,
Zhou Xun closely followed behind,
Before long, a powerful pulling sensation came over him, exactly like the feeling on a teleportation array.
When his feet hit solid ground again, he knew he had returned to the Quicksand Sea.
"Finally back!" Zhou Xun sighed,
Looking at the boundless yellow sand around, it was extremely peaceful, a stark contrast to the apocalyptic scene earlier.
This gave him a sense of having lived a lifetime in a moment.
"It’s a pity Daoist Hong couldn’t get out!" True Monarch Profound Time sighed.
"We cultivators defy the heavens for life, no one can predict when accidents will occur. I’m not sure if Daoist Hong has any descendants, we could look after them!"
True Monarch Thunder Prison said, as he had organized this venture, with True Monarch Hong Chuan’s death, he couldn’t help but feel a touch of guilt.
"Daoist Hong has a great-grandson, but he’s only in the Early-Stage Core Formation!" True Monarch Profound Time thought for a moment and replied.
"In that case, I will take him as my disciple," True Monarch Thunder Prison declared,
He is a renowned genius cultivator in Central Province, regarded as the future First Cultivator of Central Province,
Becoming his disciple, the descendant of True Monarch Hong Chuan, was not inferior to before; the difference between the past and now is quite vast, which one wouldn’t expect to encounter!
Everyone reminisced for a moment, and then began speeding towards Yuexi Immortal City,
Once their journey is over, they will return to Sea Suppression Immortal City to continue combating the Demon Race.
...
Five days later, when they reached the middle of Quicksand Sea, approximately ten days away from Yuexi Immortal City,
Suddenly——
In the distance at the horizon, waves of black mist swept in.
It seemed to be an evil aura surging from the Netherworld, carrying a chilling and eerie feeling.
Like thick ink constantly rolling, covering the sky and earth, occupying all the vision ahead of Zhou Xun and the others,
It seemed as if everything was engulfed in darkness, and the originally bright sky dimmed, as if covered by a black curtain,
Slowly approaching everyone,
In the black mist, faintly flickering ghostly lights as if countless pairs of evil eyes were watching them.
Sporadically bright and dim, like ghost flames, emitting a sullen aura.
Along with the creepy sounds of ghostly howling, extremely unnerving,
If timid people were here, they might be scared to death,
"What is this!" True Monarch Profound Time exclaimed in shock!
He widened his eyes, looking gravely at the black mist approaching them, never seen such an eerie spectacle, a strong sense of unease arose in his heart.
True Monarch Thunder Prison and others also looked grave as they stared at the black mist, secretly gathering mana in their hands, ready to deal with possible dangers.
"This is... Ghostly Mist!"
Zhou Xun immediately recognized the origin of this mist,
Years ago outside White Cloud Immortal City and within Fengyuan, they encountered such mist,
The only difference was the scale of the Ghostly Mist here seemed to be several times larger!
"Ghostly Mist!"
Upon hearing this name, everyone instantly understood.
They naturally also heard about the ancient battles between Human Realm and Ghost Realm; but how could such things described in scriptures suddenly appear here!
"Don’t worry, we Thunder Cultivators are exactly the nemesis of this Ghostly Mist, unless there are ghost creatures of Divinity Transformation Stage inside, with our strength, there’s no need for panic!"
Zhou Xun spoke.
Hearing Zhou Xun’s calm words, everyone also breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, the Ghostly Mist already approached within a thousand yards,
Zhou Xun seemed to hear the sound of ghost creatures’ teeth colliding, he sneered,
"Gentlemen, slaughter!"
Zhou Xun’s eyes sharpened, bolts of blue-purple Thunder Light surged instantly, Thunderbolt Wings behind him fiercely flapped, his whole person darted like lightning towards the Ghostly Mist.
Where Thunderbolt Wings passed, ghost creatures shattered, black mist dispersed instantly, forming a twenty-yard wide path in the boundless black mist.
At the same time, he quickly formed seals with his hands, chanting incantations, runes of Thunder Talisman appeared in front of him, then transformed into countless Thunder Arcs spreading around.
Each bolt of Thunder sent out a scream of despair from the ghost creatures before dying!
True Monarch Profound Thunder saw this, unwilling to be outdone, displayed Profound Thunder True Body,
Transformed into a ten-yard tall Thunder God, thunder lights flickered around, crashed into the Ghostly Mist,
Behind him was left a blank space of a thousand yards long!
True Monarch Thunder Prison and True Monarch Profound Thunder did similarly, displaying their means within the Ghostly Mist,
Sweep through everything!
"Hahaha, delightful!"
True Monarch Profound Thunder laughed heartily, previously the gloom in Thunder Prison was completely swept away.
It wasn’t until two days later that everyone pierced through the entire Ghostly Mist!
"Daoist Zhou, indeed as you said, we Thunder Cultivators are the nemesis of this Ghostly Mist, even Tier Three Peak ghost creatures,"
"Just a single impact of my Profound Thunder True Body turns them into powder instantly!"
"It’s been a long time since I felt so refreshing!"
True Monarch Profound Thunder laughed heartily.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Xun didn’t show much of a smile, he had experienced it before, knowing the outbreak of Ghostly Mist surely wasn’t that simple,
Back then in Fengyuan, he saw Divinity Transformation Celestial Monarch because of this.
To summon such figures, the matter is obvious!
"Forget it, even if the sky were to fall, tall people would be there to hold it up; I am just an Early-Stage Nascent Soul, not qualified to meddle in such matters!"
Thought it through, Zhou Xun relaxed instantly, joked together with True Monarch Thunder Prison, speeding towards Yuexi Immortal City!
