After being reborn, all I want to do is run away.

Chapter 454 Purple-Gold Thunder Pool

"Your body feeds my bones, I will bury your soul in the Thunder Pool!!"

A fierce roar exploded in his mind, and Shen Xu suddenly woke up.

He found himself in a huge cave, with a dome above him made of interwoven dragon fossils forming an inverted net of lightning.

Each joint is inlaid with purple crystal clusters brimming with lightning power. The crystal clusters pulsate like a beating heart, and the bursts of lightning intertwine in the void to form intricate Dao patterns.

Golden liquid was slowly dripping from the broken cracks in the dragon's skeleton above the dome.

He struggled to sit up, and a vast, seemingly endless pool of purple-gold lightning suddenly appeared before his eyes.

Boundless golden-purple thunderous liquid surged, with a golden thunder lotus floating on its surface. The liquid column gushing from the lotus's heart rose a hundred feet and exploded.

Countless purple lightning dragons, formed from condensed lightning essence, danced and swirled around the wound in the lightning pool. Every drop of liquid that fell from the dragon bone was frantically snatched up by all the lightning dragons, turning the entire lightning pool upside down.

A broken horn was stuck in the pool, its tip spewing out golden-purple lightning, dyeing the entire space a poignant ochre red. The lightning refracted on the rock walls, creating thousands of moving dragon shadows.

Each drop of lightning contained terrifying energy; just a glance at it made his brow tremble.

Fortunately, the lightning plasma seemed to be bound by the lightning pool, and not a single drop splashed onto his location.

"Guanbi!" Shen Xu's heart tightened, and he immediately tried to get up, but the movement aggravated his wounds, causing him to grimace in pain.

Although he didn't know what the Thunder Spirit Liquid Bai Lu was talking about was, he didn't think that the large pool in front of him was full of Thunder Spirit Liquid. On the contrary, the golden liquid was more likely.

However, if he were to try and obtain the golden liquid from among the many thunder dragons, he might as well just wait to die.

When he finally managed to get up, he found that he seemed to be the only person in the space.

After hesitating for a moment, Shen Xu slowly walked towards the direction of the Thunder Pool.

After some time, Shen Xu returned to his starting point, his heart filled with solemnity.

The entire space resembled a full moon, with most of it occupied by the Thunder Pool, while the space where he could move freely was a slender crescent moon.

Around Thunder Pool, some strange plants grow. Some have leaves like blue crystals with lightning flowing through their veins, while others are moss that emits a soft white light...

The broken horn, on the other hand, was entirely black, with natural silver lightning patterns covering its surface. Occasionally, a restrained purple-gold arc of electricity would flash across the patterns, exuding an ancient and desolate aura.

Behind him was a black stone wall, leaving him with absolutely no room to escape.

"You are not a descendant of the Ling family, so why have you come to the Thunder Pool?"

Shen Xu immediately turned around and saw a skull with a shimmering, jade-white hue floating on the edge of the Thunder Pool, with tiny purple-gold flames burning in its empty eye sockets.

"Greetings, senior!" Shen Xu bowed respectfully.

“I am seriously injured. Someone told me that the Thunder Spirit Liquid in Thunder Pool can heal my injuries, and my friend also needs my help.”

"You want Thunder Spirit Liquid? What are you doing here? There's no Thunder Spirit Liquid here." The skull jumped out of the Thunder Pool, bringing with it a large amount of purplish-gold thunder liquid.

Shen Xu's expression changed drastically, and he instantly activated his lightning technique, retreating backward in a flash.

"What are you afraid of! Those stupid dragons can't kill you, so why would you be afraid of this lightning liquid?" Although no expression could be seen on the skull, Shen Xu could still see the mockery in its flickering soul fire.

"Senior, do you mean those thunder dragons attacked me while I was unconscious?" Shen Xu asked, his face full of disbelief.

He checked his body again and found no signs of being struck by lightning.

"It was more than just an attack. When you fell into the Thunder Pool, those Thunder Dragons frantically surrounded you, leaving no way out. I only managed to pull you ashore after they calmed down."

"I've fallen into a minefield!" Shen Xu exclaimed.

"It seems you know nothing! Do you remember how you got here?"

"All I remember is that I went through the portal and woke up here."

"Senior, where is this place? I have a companion with me. Have you seen her before?"

“Thunder Pool is Thunder Pool, what else could it be? After you fell into Thunder Pool, you were all alone. I didn’t see any of your companions.”

However, someone from the Ling family is undergoing trials; I wonder if she is your companion.

“The Ling family? I don’t know anyone from the Ling family. My companion is a girl with black hair and purple eyes.”

Shen Xu frowned. Could it be that someone else had entered the Thunder Pool Secret Realm while the portal was open?

"What a coincidence, everyone in the Ling family has black hair and purple eyes, and the person who came is a girl," Skull said with a smile.

"How did you know, senior?" Shen Xu asked, somewhat puzzled.

Having stayed here for so long, I've naturally developed some minor supernatural abilities. "Look..."

Purple flames suddenly burst forth from the skull's eye sockets, burning fiercely until they engulfed the entire skull.

As the flames gradually subsided, a blurry image emerged from them.

It was a boundless ocean of boiling, silvery-purple lightning liquid, with large and small pale skeletons floating on its surface.

Each bone was as large as a small mountain, its surface covered with cracks from which flowed lightning-infused liquid, resembling flowing purple blood.

Blood-red lightning bolts descended from the sky, each bolt striking the skeleton and blasting out hundreds of bone spikes imbued with sword intent.

At the highest peak in the center of the Thunder Sea, Guan Bi was climbing up the mountain along the skeleton, purple light flashing between his brows and golden light shining from the thunder patterns on the soles of his feet.

Upon closer inspection, it seemed as if a blurry, illusory figure was protecting her.

Vines stretched out from the cracks in the skeleton and wrapped around its legs. The sharp thorns on the vines tore at the flesh, and the drops of blood fell onto the skeleton, making them look glaringly conspicuous.

At the mountaintop, a golden longsword was constantly emitting intense light as Guan Bi approached.

Just as Shen Xu was trying to see more details, the flames gradually subsided, revealing the white of the skull.

It was clear that the flames in his eyes seemed to have weakened.

"Thank you, senior. That girl is my companion. I wonder what method I should use to get to her side?" Shen Xu said respectfully.

"It's very simple. Cross this Thunder Pool and pass through the 'Thunderstorm Land' to reach the 'Thunder Spirit Sea'."

"By the way, the liquid in those bones is the Thunder Spirit Liquid you're looking for."

"Cross the Thunder Pool! How do I cross it?" Shen Xu asked, looking at the Thunder Pool in front of him, which could kill him with just a drop of lightning.

"Of course we'll wade across."

"Isn't this too risky! Senior, although you said I have the ability to cross the line, I haven't done it myself..."

Before he could finish speaking, the white skeletal skull instantly appeared behind him and slammed him into the surging pool of lightning with a savage charge.

Shen Xu's heart stopped for a moment, but he quickly realized that the purplish-gold lightning plasma did not harm him. Instead, it enveloped him tightly like jelly.

His presence seemed to cause not the slightest ripple in this dangerous place.

Reaching out, Shen Xu pulled out a handful of lightning essence, letting it slip through his fingers. Suddenly, he felt that everything before him was so unreal.

"I told you long ago that this lightning slurry couldn't hurt you, now you believe me!" The white skeletal skull floated in front of him and spoke with a smile.

"I believe you, but please let me know in advance next time so I can prepare."

“Young people are inefficient. We can leave now.” After saying this, the head floated into the depths of the Thunder Pool.

"Senior, please wait a moment." Shen Xu called out to Skull.

"Since neither the Thunder Pool nor the Thunder Dragon can harm me, I want to take something with me." Shen Xu looked at the golden lotus in the Thunder Pool.

"Alright, but remember not to be too greedy." There was a hint of a smile in the skull's words.

Shen Xu knew the skull was referring to the broken horn on the lotus side, but he had never considered taking it.

"Ok."

Shen Xu smiled and then swam to the purple-gold lotus flower.

As soon as he reached out his hand, the purple-gold lotus flower transformed into a purple-gold light and merged into his dantian.
