Free Web NovelChapter 1123: Chapter 501: Devouring Spirit Silver Worms
Four streaks of light streaked across the sky as Li Yunjing and his companions appeared at the entrance, soaring toward the island floating among the clouds.
"Boom!"
Indeed, lightning struck once more, with bolts of lightning descending upon Yu Yunyi, Lv Ruoxi, Fu Chao, and including Li Yunjing.
However, this time it was different from the other unfortunate souls.
The disciples of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect," who were in harmony with Thunder Power, were not harmed by the Thunder Power. Instead, they each used the "Thunder-Attracting Technique" to absorb the descending thunder power into their bodies for storage.
With this Thunder Power, the group’s self-protection measures were greatly enhanced.
Several Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators nearby witnessed Li Yunjing’s group as they charged toward the floating island, gloating as they initially thought these people were doomed!

The lightning, which normally meant certain death, surprisingly did not harm Li Yunjing and the others!
"What’s going on?"
"Why didn’t the lightning in the sky kill these people?"
"Damn it! Could it be that after striking multiple times, the energy is depleted and these lightning bolts are just appearances?"
"That’s very possible!"
"Earlier, we clearly saw every new person rushing stupidly into the sky get struck by lightning, adding up to maybe a few hundred people total, right?"
"With so many dead, surely the energy within the secret realm is depleted!"
"Let’s charge too!"
"Go!"
...
Seeing that Li Yunjing’s group encountered no danger, others promptly sprang into action, turning their thoughts into actions following the discussions.
"Boom!"
In the sky, lightning bolts shot down again!
"Ah..."
"How is this possible!"
"These lightning bolts are still full of power!"
"I’m done for..."
In an instant, the cultivators who had taken to the sky were cleared away by lightning, turning into nothingness.
Only those with treasure artifacts or who were flying at the rear managed to save their lives, quickly retreating to the ground, no longer daring to covet the floating island above.
"Hahaha! These fools!"
Seeing this, Fu Chao laughed arrogantly, showing no respect for the cultivators below, and laughed out loud.
"You..."
Watching Fu Chao’s brazen demeanor, Li Yunjing smiled and shook his head.
He did not try to persuade him, as the saying goes, a leopard can’t change its spots. This is how Fu Chao is, and nothing would change him.
"See that? These people just wouldn’t listen!"
Hands on his hips, Fu Chao laughed so hard he bent over, causing the chain of "Hundred Treasures Pouch" at his waist to sway. "They just had to compete with us, and now they’ve become sky fireworks!"
He wiped his eyes, which had teared up from laughter, and turned to Li Yunjing with eyes full of admiration. "Our sect is indeed powerful; these lightning strikes can’t hurt us!"
"You sure talk a lot. If you attract something more powerful, you’ll be the one crying."
Yu Yunyi chastised casually, a faint smile on her lips, her gaze set on the distant island spreading starry splendor. "But seriously, with such powerful restrictions on this island, there must be incredible treasures concealed here."
"Better safe than sorry."
Lv Ruoxi tucked some wind-blown hair behind her ear with cautious eyes: "Although we easily countered the lightning, who knows what other dangers await us."
"Yunjing, do you have any plans?" ƒгeewёbnovel.com
Her voice was gentle as she turned her gaze toward Li Yunjing.
Li Yunjing glanced at the floating islands adorned in silver runes and felt the slight tremor of the ’Yin Yang Five Elements Celestial Derivation Sword’ in his palm, its runes echoing with the island’s glow.
"I think that ice dragon was the most formidable guardian of this level."
After a moment of contemplation, a confident smile curved on his lips: "There shouldn’t be another existence of that level!"
"In a moment, let’s first ascend this island; the four of us will form a diamond formation and look out for each other."
"You all protect yourselves with the Three Talents Array; I’ll lead the way!"
Li Yunjing pointed to the nearest floating island and said with a smile.
"Alright! If there’s any danger, I’ll step up too!"
Fu Chao excitedly rubbed his hands together, pulling out a handful of "Fire Thunder Beads" from his storage bag, tossing them up and down in his hand. "These treasures have been idle for too long, waiting to show their worth!"
"Sigh..."
Watching Fu Chao toss the "Fire Thunder Beads" up and down, Yu Yunyi and Lv Ruoxi were frightened stiff.
"Don’t be too reckless!"
Li Yunjing lightly admonished: "If this thing explodes, we won’t have any good outcome!"
"Hehe! My bad!"
Fu Chao sheepishly scratched his head, "I promise to listen well and won’t do that again!"
"Let’s go!"
Li Yunjing and company transformed into four streaks of light, dashing toward the foremost floating island.
As they approached the floating island, they saw that the islands were not ordinary rocks, but were piled from transparent crystals emitting a starry sheen, with waterfall-like light bands hanging from the edges, outlining mysterious trails in the void.
It was these light bands that allowed the islands to float in the air, never falling.
"So these floating islands aren’t reliant on their own power to float!"
Yu Yunyi, Lv Ruoxi, and Fu Chao suddenly realized, finally understanding the principle behind this phenomena.
Previously, everyone had indeed been fooled.
"Everyone be careful!"
Li Yunjing suddenly extended his hand to halt the group, preventing them from rushing up to the floating island.
He pointed, and Yu Yunyi, Lv Ruoxi, and Fu Chao followed his line of sight to see the surface of the foremost floating island, densely covered with silver runes, writhing like living creatures, with an unsettling aura filling the air.
