Chapter 453 The Gate of Thunder
On the flying sword, Guan Bi looked down at the Milky Way with a heavy heart.
"The aura of the Blood Fiend Palace." Shen Xu's gaze sharpened.
"At this point in time, do people from the Blood Fiend Palace dare to cause trouble for the Heavenly River Sword Sect?"
Unfortunately, at this time in his previous life, he should have just entered the Blood Killing Tower for training and was not yet qualified to come into contact with matters at the level of the Heavenly River Sword Sect.
"Junior Shen Xu greets all seniors!" Shen Xu sheathed his flying sword and bowed to the people of Zhenlei Peak.
And Jiaojiao gracefully landed on his shoulder from above the clouds.
"The White Crane of Prayer!" The elder who went to participate in the Four Directions Auction immediately recognized the white crane on Shen Xu's shoulder.
"Shen Xu, your trip may be very dangerous," Jiao Jiao warned.
Even without Jiaojiao's reminder, he could see the deadly nature of the Milky Way at this moment, not to mention that the place he and Guanbi were going to was the most dangerous place in the entire Milky Way.
"What happened when Bai Lu said you were unconscious?" Yi Yunyu asked.
"That's true. I accidentally sensed the remnant soul of that dragon, and my soul was impacted as a result."
He survived the soul-shaking impact only thanks to a treasure that protected his soul, but he fell into a coma and only recently awoke.
"So how are you feeling right now?" Yi Yunyu asked, frowning.
"Very bad, both physically and spiritually."
"Given your current condition, entering the Thunder Pool Secret Realm would likely be a one-way trip, but we will not force you."
"I'm asking you, are you still willing to go to the Thunder Pool Secret Realm?" Deng Yi suddenly asked.
"I need the Thunder Pool Liquid to save my life, and I hope that you seniors can give me this opportunity." Shen Xu bowed again.
"Well!"
"boom--"
With a deafening explosion, the riverbed split open into abyss-like ravines, and the river water and thunderous debris mingled and erupted.
A massive, thunderous vortex rose from the river's surface, its core drawing in clouds and mist from a radius of hundreds of miles, forming a towering thunderstorm tornado.
An overwhelming, earth-shattering pressure emanated from the thunderstorm, making it difficult to breathe.
The river water rolled back, forming a water curtain that stretched from the sky to the earth.
When the phantom of the dragon's remnant soul hovered atop the Heavenly Water Curtain, the entire Milky Way suddenly fell silent.
Each of its dragon scales seemed to be solidified from lightning and water.
When the dragon's claws tore through the clouds, the tributaries of the Milky Way, like silver snakes returning to their nests, flowed into the dragon's body and transformed into its blood vessels and meridians.
The dragon's eyes shot out purple-black lightning, causing the riverbed to crack wherever it shone. The sound of the tide and the dragon's roar resonated, shaking the mountains and causing rocks to fall like rain.
Dense, lightning-patterned bubbles rose to the surface of the river, each bursting to release the aura of tribulation lightning capable of annihilating divine souls.
Seeing this, Deng Yi's eyes flashed, and he walked to Guan Bi's side and handed her a fist-sized golden-red pearl.
"The Tianhe Sword Sect has never blamed your father."
After Deng Yi finished speaking, he walked to the edge of the peak, and a purple-gold sword mark flew out from his forehead. Under his control, it turned into a stream of light and shot into the dragon soul.
As the sword imprint completely merged into the dragon soul
The remnant soul roared to the sky, its sound waves shattering the clouds, and lightning, like molten silver, poured into the dragon's mouth during the thunderstorm.
The boiling magma solidified into amethyst, and the surging waves froze into a forest of ice swords.
The dragon's roar caused the Thunder Pool at the bottom of the river to tremble.
Nine bolts of lightning shot out from the riverbed, intertwining to form a giant drill that tore through the riverbed, and a hundred-foot-long portal slowly rose from the depths of the riverbed.
The door frame is shaped like the skeleton of a coiled dragon, and the door is engraved with numerous blurry patterns, each of which flows with liquid lightning.
The moment the door opened, a purple beam of light pierced the sky, and all the sword platforms on the river surface collapsed with a bang. The Heavenly River cultivators who had not yet evacuated were blown away by the shockwave like falling leaves.
"This time, only the two of you will be allowed to enter the Thunder Pool Secret Realm, Guanbi..."
Liao Tianfeng wanted to say something, but ultimately remained silent.
"Uncle Liao, please don't worry, I will be back," Guan Bi said with a smile.
After speaking, Guan Bi looked in Bai Lu's direction, but Bai Lu avoided her eyes.
Guan Bi lowered her eyes and said, "Miss, I'm sorry."
"Guanbi may not be able to take care of you anymore."
"Shen Xu, I know you have many questions. I will tell you everything you want to know when you come back," Yi Yunyu said slowly.
Shen Xu smiled but did not respond.
"Jiaojiao, do you want to come with me?"
“Who wants to go with you? That door looks incredibly dangerous, okay?” Jiaojiao refused without hesitation.
"Then you should stay with Bai Lu; she won't mistreat you."
Shen Xu walked up to Bai Lu, and Jiao Jiao jumped off his shoulder and landed beside Bai Lu.
"I'll bring Guanbi back to you, how about you grant me one request?"
"What are the conditions?" Bai Lu secretly wiped away the tears that she couldn't stop flowing from her face and asked, her voice choked with sobs.
"That depends on your performance. You still owe me a meal, and I have serious doubts about your credibility."
“It’s not just one meal, but also a lot of Nourishing Essence Pills. If you can’t bring Guan Bi back, I’ll take full responsibility.”
Besides that, besides that... I'll also tear down your wooden house." Bai Lu looked at him with teary eyes.
"What a heartless woman!" Shen Xu said with a helpless smile.
"Please take good care of Jiaojiao for me."
At this moment, Li Xiaoyi's image suddenly flashed into Shen Xu's mind. He frowned and then returned to Guan Bi's side.
"The portal's duration is limited; you should set off now," Deng Yi reminded them.
"Hmm." Shen Xu nodded and looked at the huge white bone portal in the center of the Milky Way.
……
A streak of light, like a silver shuttle, pierced through the sea of lightning above the Milky Way and shot straight into the portal, with the lightning magma behind it blooming one after another like angry lotuses.
Just as the two entered the portal, the river broke free from the earth's ley lines and surged into the sky, transforming into a massive vortex of thunderous water that swirled around the giant portal. From within the portal came a primordial heartbeat, and the shockwaves caused the space to ripple.
On Zhenlei Peak, everyone looked at the scene before them, their hearts filled with mixed emotions. They had witnessed this scene once more than a decade ago.
"Now that Guan Bi has entered the Thunder Pool Secret Realm, it's time for us to fight Xuan Ting." Deng Yi looked at the illusory dragon coiled on the water curtain.
"By order of the Heavenly River Sect Master, activate the sect's teleportation array and send the tide-watching crowds away..."
Demolition of important buildings near Tianhe...
Send people to evacuate the people in Tianhe City...
All cultivators below the Yuan Dan realm from the Tianhe Sword Sect have been evacuated to a distance of over a thousand miles from Tianhe...
The town of Lei Feng was established...
Activate the sect protection formation...
The moment he passed through the portal, Shen Xu's consciousness began to blur.
He instinctively grabbed Guan Bi's hand, and then he was plunged into darkness.
In the darkness, he seemed to have entered a strange space.
There floated and sank brilliant orbs of light, each containing fragmented memories of a dragon undergoing its tribulation: the cracking sound of dragon horns breaking, the acrid smell of lightning burning scales, the breaking of the shackles of the Heavenly Dao, and a blinding sword light...
A dragon's eye, a thousand feet in diameter, emerged from the darkness. The purplish-black vertical pupil, exactly the same as in his memory, was boiling and gradually swallowed him whole.
