Chapter 454: Chapter 432 The Godly Might of Old Thunder Dragon_1

After the sense of connection was severed, Pang Jian instantly grabbed the Mysterious Turtle Shield and raced through the depths of the earth.

Black Flame Mountain and Green Rock Mountain Range were not far apart. Relying on the help of that piece of black and yellow Fragment Land in his dantian’s Spiritual Sea, he moved underground as if he were on the surface.

A few hours later, a Thunder and Lightning Sea suddenly appeared in front of him!

Streaks of lightning containing the power of a dragon permeated downward, hanging from the land above, reaching hundreds of feet beneath the ground!

The violent and solemn thunder and lightning harbored Divine Power capable of annihilating Grade 8 Great Demons, each bolt seemingly able to eradicate them.

If multiple bolts of lightning were to congregate, even a Grade 9 Demon King would be obliterated.

"Thunder Dragon!"

Pang Jian exclaimed in shock.

Just standing in front of this Thunder and Lightning Sea, the Thunder Pond within him, wrapped by the Thunder Vortex, started stirring restlessly, as if eager to burst forth and gather this thunderbolt that was unique to the Purgatory World.

His face turned pale with fright, his heart pounding as he forcefully suppressed the Thunder Pond, quickly maintaining a distance from the Thunder and Lightning Sea in front.

He dared not touch it, dared not sense it, he only dared to watch from afar.

He was all too aware that if he dared to collect this Thunderous Lightning with the Thunder Pond, the Old Thunder Dragon would immediately sense it.

By then, the Old Thunder Dragon would temporarily disregard the slaughter of Demon Kings and instead come first to hunt him down, to snatch the Thunder Pond that belonged to the Thunder God from beyond the skies.

The name of his master, Pu Zhaotian, would surely be of no use after the Thunder Pond was exposed.

"Crackle!"

When the thunder and lightning intertwined, dazzling sparks scattered everywhere, with the Thunder and Lightning Sea still permeating downward.

"It truly is unimaginably powerful."

Pang Jian marveled inwardly.

The Thunder Dragon, which had reigned over the Thunder God’s Path for ten thousand years, after awakening, used its power to seal off three battlefields where Demon Kings fought.

Not just the heavens, but also the earth!

Under His Divine Power of a Grade 10 Demon God, the battle of the six Demon Kings would be beyond interference or prying eyes.

In the entire Purgatory World, even though all True Gods from the Human Race closely monitored this Demon God contest through various means, since they couldn’t set foot on the Saint Spirit Continent, and couldn’t surpass the Old Thunder Dragon, they likewise remained unaware of the situation inside.

Any living being that touched that piece of Thunder and Lightning Sea, trying to cross the domain,

Would be severely punished by the Old Thunder Dragon!

"I can only continue downward."

Pang Jian stimulated his power, once again sinking further into the depths of the earth.

Three hundred feet, five hundred feet, seven hundred feet!

The violent Thunder and Lightning Sea persisted all along!

Pang Jian even deliberately made a detour and found that the Thunder and Lightning Sea formed a circular state in the very heart of the Green Rock Mountain Range, completely enveloping the territory of the Rock Bear.

And this was just one place.

For the other two battlefields, if nothing unexpected, the situation should be consistent with this one.

The power displayed by the Old Thunder Dragon, who had dominated the Thunder God’s Path for ten thousand years, left Pang Jian tremendously shaken. It was only when he directly faced the dazzling Thunder and Lightning Sea that he realized how terrifying the Old Thunder Dragon was.

The Dragon Cave, with its pressure so heavy it was suffocating, seemed to become even more unbearable.

"A Grade 10 Demon God, its hidden strength is so ridiculously exaggerated. That being lost in the depths of the Mysterious Fog, as powerful as a lion or tiger from the Outer Realm, is not on par with this Old Thunder Dragon!"

"This Thunder Dragon, which has been dormant in the Purgatory World, would also be a standout class of Thunder God if placed in the Outer Domain Galaxy!"

Descending a thousand feet deep into the earth, the Thunder and Lightning Sea blocking his way showed a significant weakening in the power of its lightning.

His eyes lit up as he desperately urged forth the Power of Earth within his Spiritual Sea.

It was also at this moment that his well-tempered flesh began to feel the oppressive gravity of the heart of the earth.

His bones gradually started to feel uncomfortable.

Given that his physique was so focused on tempering the flesh, if he could feel such extreme discomfort, other Great Cultivators of the Human Race at the same level would probably have been torn asunder long ago.

But seeing the glimmer of hope, he still clenched his teeth and persevered to dive deeper.

Below, the remnant might of the thunder and lightning grew weaker and weaker, and the lightning within the Thunder and Lightning Sea began to flicker on and off.

Even the Old Thunder Dragon, despite his real body being in the Dragon Cave and applying his Divine Power to seal over vast distances, his Demon God strength also had limits.

After all, His Demon God’s power would also be eroded by the intense gravity of the earth.

Some time later,

When Pang Jian descended to one thousand three hundred feet, his skin began to split open, and his Golden Body Realm cultivated by the "Great Creation Sacred Body" faltered and could no longer withstand the strain.

"It’s close!"

Ignoring the rupturing wounds on his skin and withstanding the unimaginable pressure of Alien Power, he finally could no longer see any bolt of lightning hanging down from the skies above.

At this point, he no longer sank downward but moved forward instead.

Then, he suddenly felt a sense of relief.

He noticed the fresh blood spurting from his ruptured wounds was flowing into the Mysterious Turtle Shield.

And that shield, which seemed composed of numerous tortoise shells, started to exhibit peculiar changes on its surface.

"Whoosh!"

On the surface of the Mysterious Turtle Shield, an infinitely condensed version of the Fragment Land emerged.

A Fragment Land similar to Panshi Fragment Land, with mountains, rivers, lakes, hills, wastelands, and ancient cities!

He even felt beneath this Fragment Land were slender Spirit Vein Mine Veins, each one incredibly rare, all able to draw in the surrounding nature’s spiritual energy.

Even the Filth Alien Power!

"Legend has it that the fragment land, upheld by the Mysterious Turtle, could be chosen by the most powerful sects as a site for their foundation! Countless strong members of the Human Race sought this fragment land, hoping to transform it into a holy land for their sect!"

"Unexpectedly, it has been refined into one with the Mysterious Turtle and this Mysterious Turtle Shield!"

"This object must be an extraordinarily divine item. And the Mysterious Turtle, to willingly part with it, to aid Rock Bear in ascending to a Demon God..."

Pang Jian gave his respects solemnly.

For the strength of the Demon Race, for the future generations, the Mysterious Turtle truly exhausted itself to death in service.

"Thud! Thud, thud!"

From above the earth, the commotion from the earth-shattering battle of the Demon Kings reached a thousand feet below to where Pang Jian was, reducing to faint footsteps.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a loud noise resounded.

A figure, nearly a thousand feet tall, which was almost double the size of the previous surge, came with a rumbling sound to the depths of the underground in the blink of an eye.

His body bathed in blood, he glared with frighteningly ferocious demon pupils, as if a Sky God looked down from above.

"The, the Mysterious Turtle Shield!"

The trembling voice of the Old Bear was deliberately suppressed as he looked at the shield in Pang Jian’s hands, as well as at Pang Jian, who was also covered in blood just like him.

At that moment, Pang Jian smiled and held up the Mysterious Turtle shield: "I brought this specially for you."

"Leave quickly! Just get out the way you came in!"

The massive paw of the Old Bear pressed down.

This ninth-level Rock Bear, who was proficient in the Power of Earth and had hopes of ascending to a Demon God, showed his giant bear heart in the palm of his hand, with countless secrets related to the earth erupting forth.

The Divine Object of the earth, which the Mysterious Turtle called the Mysterious Turtle Shield, and which he called the Mysterious Turtle Armor, began to respond on its own, heading straight for the palm of his hand.

The moment the Mysterious Turtle Shield parted from Pang Jian, the terrifying gravity from the depths of the earth’s core suddenly surged and intensified upon him.

"Crack, crack!"

Pang Jian’s face contorted, his bones showing signs of fractures, and his viscera violently shifted.

Agony spread from every part of his body, causing such severe injury in an instant that he felt as if he might lose consciousness from the overwhelming sensation.

It was also at this time that he clearly recognized he was able to descend over a thousand feet underground, not only because of the dark yellow fragment land floating above the Spiritual Sea, but also with the aid of the Mysterious Turtle shield in his hand.

As soon as the Mysterious Turtle shield left his hand, the gravity that should have affected him descended all at once.

He suffered severe injuries unexpectedly.

"Go!"

The Rock Bear bellowed.

A surge of the Power of Earth from him urgently enveloped Pang Jian’s body, swiftly transporting Pang Jian from the deep underground to the outside.

"Yuan Min, knowing that my injuries have healed, also found out through Dragon Cave that I obtained a drop of his ancestor’s Blood of the Demon God! Long Yan’s arrival, my choice to avoid, actually had the opposite effect."

"The moment the Blood of the Demon God left the crystal bottle, the Old Dragon felt it, He knew everything!"

"Therefore, Yuan Min brought something that could restrain me. If not for the Mysterious Turtle shield, I would certainly be dead!"

"..."

The Old Bear’s voice came from within the Power of Earth that wrapped around Pang Jian.

At this time, the severely injured Pang Jian’s consciousness was already somewhat blurry; he could only vaguely hear his voice, having no energy to respond.

Pang Jian, relying on instinct, felt the gravity weaken and desperately stimulated the Power of Earth within the Spiritual Sea to ascend.

Quickly, the Power of Earth in his body was completely exhausted. The displaced organs and the twisting of bones and meridians made his eyes darken.

It happened in just an instant.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself lying on the grass in a secluded valley and saw a pair of pitch-black demon pupils.

White Fox Demon King!

This Demon King, in the form of a white fox, held a blood-colored beastly eye, concealing her own demon aura, making it difficult for others to perceive her life force.

She hovered in a large tree, her demon body hidden among the leaves, deliberately concealing her presence.

However, as her gaze fell on Pang Jian, he naturally and instantly felt a response, causing his hair to stand on end.

From the Demon Pupils of the White Fox Demon King, Pang Jian sensed a chilling and murderous intent. This Demon King, who had been punished by Dragon Cave and suffered severe injuries, seemed to have some intentions toward him.

In response, Pang Jian immediately deployed the "Heart of Winter," also summoning the Origin Demon Sword, and in his other hand, he clutched the Sword Command.

His current state was dire, and even with the White Fox severely wounded, he was no match for her.

He thought of asking for help from his senior sister, Hu.

But just as he was about to send a message, he hesitated.

Hu, like him, was of the Soul Wandering realm; could she withstand this ninth-level Demon King?

The incident where everyone on the passing Sword Boat was merely glanced at by the White Fox Demon King, and their souls all plummeted into oblivion, was still vivid in his mind.

Pang Jian took a deep breath, silently dismissing the idea of asking Hu for help, and forced himself to calm down, pretending to be composed as he asked, "Why are you here?"

"My territory was taken over by another Demon King, and those who were loyal to me also switched masters."

With a long sigh, the White Fox suddenly morphed into human form.

Pushing back the silver-white hair covering her cheeks and petite body, she revealed that exquisite, yet fine-cracked face, giving a wistful smile.

Her face, like a beautifully crafted porcelain that had broken and been reassembled, was indescribably strange.

And it had become utterly devoid of beauty.
