Chapter 754: Chapter 7 Falling into the Pit [Seeking Monthly Tickets!]_1

"Is that the main concern?" Chu Liang moved Lin Bei aside, looked at Lady Hong Yu, and asked, "Lady, what other dangers are there on Fog Island when the thunderstorm stops?"

Lady Hong Yu responded solemnly, "It is a terrifying creature that has dominated the Ruins since ancient times."

After her explanation, they finally understood what was going on.

Turns out, thousands of years ago, there was a powerful ancient sea demon causing havoc in the Southern Sea and disturbing the Ruins. Later, it was suppressed by the legendary Lord Wu Chao. However, even Lord Wu Chao couldn’t completely kill it. He could only seal it on the thunder-stricken Fog Island, weakening its origin of life with divine punishments and waiting for the day to completely eradicate it.

This terrifying creature has been suppressed here for nearly two thousand years.

The reason the divine thunder ceases each day is that the suppressed creature releases its power and consumes Spiritual Energy, forcibly interrupting the thunderstorm.

Though it’s just for a brief moment, the ability to prevent divine punishment with demonic power showcases the strength of this ancient sea demon.

Compared to the Demonic Clan on land, sea demons have longer lifespans once their cultivation reaches the peak. It’s hard to imagine how powerful these entities that have existed since ancient times could be.

"So, the thunderstorm stops because there’s something more terrifying than it..." Lin Bei touched his tongue, "Then it seems safer to face the thunder."

As they learned more about the Ruins, they also knew about the mysterious existence of Lord Wu Chao, a legendary ancient demon who had dominated the Southern Sea for thousands of years. He was at least a Limiter, not weaker than Baize. The enemy, which even he couldn’t completely erase, was indeed extraordinarily tenacious.

Chu Liang couldn’t help but think about the Demon God, who even after being suppressed by the Demon Suppression Tower for three thousand years, still managed to retain half of his origin. When power reached a certain threshold, it seemed truly hard to die.

Perhaps this was why the realm of Tianyuan was so intimidating. The difference between having a Divine Artifact or not was immense.

"Auntie Hong Yu, my mother said you have a solution," Princess Lian Ge pleaded in a coquettish tone, "Don’t scare them. These young heroes from Shu Mountain saved my life."

"Hehe." Lady Hong Yu only then smiled, and told Chu Liang and the others, "When the blood mist rises, I can help you temporarily stop that terrifying creature. Use that time to collect the Thunder Cloud Seed. Remember, it needs to be swift."

Considering that Fog Island was a place to seal the Demon Head, and Lady Hong Yu was the mistress of the Blood Mist Villa here, it seemed she isn’t a simple character. In fact, she was the one responsible for monitoring that terrifying creature.

Assisting them in gathering the Thunder Cloud Seed would be easy for her.

"Thank you!" The three from Shu Mountain thanked her in unison.

If it weren’t for Princess Lian Ge on this trip, them rushing into Fog Island would result in not knowing how they’d die.

Having connections and the right information could make things much easier. Without those, one would encounter certain death, just a tiny piece of information could make a huge difference in the outcome.

Lady Hong Yu, arm-in-arm with Princess Lian Ge, stepped into the Blood Mist Villa. At the same time, she instructed the Shark Giant to lead the three men from Shu Mountain into the villa so they could rest and wait until evening.

The Blood Mist Villa appeared to be grand, but the empty space inside was only a small portion of it. Most of the villa was hidden behind mist and chains, it was unclear what lay beyond.

"Don’t wander around." Seeing the three men looking towards the shadowy area, the Shark Giant turned around and grimly warned, "You will die."

...

The architecture within the villa was very primitive. It seemed like no humans had lived here. The place they were told to rest was a stone hall with only a few supporting pillars holding up a high ceiling.

Chu Liang, Xu Ziyang, and Lin Bei stayed there temporarily. At night, the Shark Giant came again with his heavy footsteps and said, "Follow me."

At the main entrance of the Blood Mist Villa, Lady Hong Yu stood graciously, nodded at the three young men, and led the way.

"You must stay safe," Princess Lian Ge looked at Xu Ziyang with concern, whispering.

"I will," Xu Ziyang nodded solemnly.

"And you two..." Only then did Princess Lian Ge turn her attention to Lin Bei and Chu Liang.

"Yes, we will also pay attention to our Senior Brother’s safety," Lin Bei said with a chuckle.

Princess Lian Ge blushed at his words.

Rumble, Rumble, Rumble——

At the edge of Fog Island, not far from the villa, the thunderous roar of the continuous storm was deafening. The divine purple-gold glow of lightning fell hundreds of feet away, and the explosive force was deeply frightening. Even a small graze would surely reduce everything to ashes without a chance of negotiation.

Chu Liang, with the aid of the Dragon God Token, could command this divine thunder. However, he still felt insignificant against this top-tier divine punishment. As he perceived the energy within, he gradually gained insight.

By observing the celestial thunder, one could comprehend divine power.

"Once the blood mist rises, you must hold your breath and concentrate your mind, you mustn’t inhale even the slightest bit." Lady Hong Yu didn’t turn around. She looked straight ahead while reminding them.

After quietly waiting for a moment, suddenly, the sky went pitch dark.

The divine thunders, which had been falling randomly, abruptly stopped without any warning. Simultaneously, a thin layer of blood-red mist also rose from the center of Fog Island.

Scanning with his divine sense, he could see a vague enormous hole on the ground. The blood mist was flowing out of this hole, slowly wafting up from the bottom.

"Go!" Lady Hong Yu immediately commanded.

Chu Liang, swift as the wind, rushed out and landed on the pitch-black ground of Fog Island. Although the island was spacious, without thunder disturbance, he could travel back and forth in the blink of an eye.

However, it wasn’t easy to find Thunder Cloud Seeds, they had to dig and look for them. One person’s effort seemed a bit inadequate. That’s why the three of them had to cooperate. Otherwise, Chu Liang alone could take care of it with a whistle.

Xu Ziyang and Lin Bei, having strong cultivations, separated and rushed in different directions. Xu Ziyang landed first. Lin Bei was a bit slower. While Lin Bei was still mid-air, Lady Hong Yu had already reached above the central hole.

Lady Hong Yu hovered in the air; the right sleeve of her long dress flickered. In an instant, a hazy red light swept past, followed by a string of whooshes, and from the even ground erupted numerous sparkling red coral pillars. In the blink of an eye, the hole was completely blocked.

It seemed that Lady Hong Yu’s true entity was indeed a coral-transformed demon. As she used the red coral to block the hole, the entity below seemed to release its anger. The rumbling blood mist appeared to boil, forcefully crashing against the coral barrier. However, most of the entity’s strength seemed to be used to block the divine thunder, so it seemed weakened as it tried to shatter the coral barriers completely several times.

Whenever a coral pillar shattered under impact, Lady Hong Yu immediately induced the growth of new coral pillars to fill the gap.

Meanwhile, Chu Liang and Xu Ziyang had already started digging for the Thunder Cloud Seed. Swinging their flying swords, they reduced a large area of land into rubble. While Thunder Cloud Seeds were not easily destroyed, this method worked well to break away the surrounding rocks and reveal the needed material.

Just as Lin Bei was about to land and start digging, before he could swing his sword, the black ground under his feet exploded.

Bang!

A large mass of black energy, accompanied by a heavy demonic aura, shot up together. Seeing this, Lin Bei immediately drew his sword to defend himself.

Whoosh—

Hundreds of rays of sword light enveloped the front, forming a wall of sword qi, firmly protecting Lin Bei’s figure. Thanks to his swift reaction, a palm extended from the black energy and struck the barrier of sword qi.

Boom!

The palm strike was powerful and heavy. The wall of sword qi Lin Bei put up with all his might instantly shattered, and he was blown hundreds of feet away. At this moment, the coral pillars shielding the hole were being shattered by the blood mist, and Lin Bei plunged into the deep hole like a shooting star!

Lady Hong Yu, although she was right above, didn’t have the spare time to reach out and save him, as another black-robed person appeared and launched an attack on her.

Together with the black-robed figure who ambushed Lin Bei, they formed a pincer attack on Lady Hong Yu.

Seeing the ferocious secret enemies, Lady Hong Yu’s eyes were as sharp as a knife. She shouted, "I am guarding Elder Mayfly under the order of Lord Wu Chao! Who dares to cause trouble here?!"

...

Lin Bei, who was hit and thrown into the hole, felt dizzy for a while. The attacker was definitely a Seventh Realm cultivator. Being able to block it slightly and not die with his cultivation level was considered good luck. When he regained consciousness, he had already hit the ground.

Struggling to prop his body up and open his eyes, he saw nothing but darkness around him, and he seemed to be leaning against a cold, hard wall.

Without much thought, Lin Bei activated the Fingertip Starlight, illuminating his surroundings. Unexpectedly, the light instantly reflected countless glimmering points in the darkness ahead.

"Wow!" Lin Bei exclaimed involuntarily.

He was surrounded by countless eyes!
