Chapter 698: Chapter 660 Thunder Prison’s Dispute_1

Inside Thunder Prison.

The giant serpent followed the path of Pang Jian’s descent into the depths of the Misty Sea, and saw that Pang Jian, with Seven-color God Light radiating all over his body, easily passed through the Boundary Wall.

In the Demon Pupils of the giant serpent, shock was evident.

"The ability to enter and exit the ’prison’ world at will, I have finally seen it with my own eyes, it must not be wrong," said the serpent.

The giant serpent, deep in thought, soared into the sky amidst the lightning.

Soon, it came to a halt next to the two mightiest warriors of the Thunder Clan, as well as the unicorn and the Vermilion Bird.

"He flew away from the bottom of Thunder Prison, as if trying to understand the environment of Thunder Prison, he will return," said the serpent.

The faces of the two level-ten warriors of the Thunder Clan were clouded with uncertainty.

The unicorn, which had always been the most enthusiastic and the friendliest towards Pang Jian, gradually intensified the cold electric light in its Demon Pupils.

"He is the Pang Jian that Lord He Motian is searching for," it said.

The Demon God of the unicorn, with an arrogant toss of its head, spat out a vicious-looking lotus platform studded with bone spurs.

The purplish-green lotus platform, engraved with various mysterious demonic patterns and containing the truths of Demon Tao, faintly pointed towards some lofty presence beyond the heavens.

"Hold on!" shouted the male warrior of the Thunder Clan, stopping the unicorn.

After spitting out the lotus platform, the unicorn arrogantly pranced, creating a pattern of ice thunder vortexes under its hooves.

"Thunder Prison hasn’t been under the rule of your Thunder Clan for a long time!" He said disdainfully.

"I know."

Lei Fan, one of the mightiest of the Thunder Clan, had a dim look in his eyes, "After our ancestor’s fall, most of the Thunder Clan here have changed their faith, and even those who have ascended their bloodline to level ten find it difficult to break through Heaven Forbidden and leave."

"Out there, the gods of the Ghost Clan and the Demon Clan, upon hearing that someone is a Thunder God from Thunder Prison, will try to kill them at all costs."

"The Thunder Gods of the Thunder Clan have a hard time taking any steps in the Outer Realm, and we know this all too well," continued Lei Fan.

After a self-pitying monologue, Lei Fan added, "The three of you, the situation of your Demon Race isn’t necessarily any better in the Outer Realm. As Demon Gods of Thunder Prison, you should know that the plight of Thunder Prison is worrying, and it’s all because of the deliberate targeting by the gods of the Ghost Clan and the Demon Clan, right?"

The unicorn spoke coldly, "What if it is?"

Before Lei Fan could speak again, the Demon God continued, "After the Lei Meng Beast God left, He paved a new path for us, letting us know that the only thing the gods of the Ghost Clan and the Demon Clan really cannot tolerate are your Thunder Clan’s Thunder Gods."

"As long as you’re not from the Ancient Demon World, and are willing to get close to those two clans’ gods, They are happy to accept you."

"As the great calamity that comes once every hundred thousand years approaches, should strong gods from the Outer Realm descend, Thunder Prison won’t be able to withstand Their power. If we can get on good terms with Lord He Motian, perhaps those mighty gods won’t care about the common people of Thunder Prison."

"You, the Thunder Clan, and our descendants in Thunder Prison, will be able to survive this calamity unscathed."

"By following Their orders and doing things for Them, we can find a way to live. In the future, once we leave Thunder Prison and enter the Outer Realm, They probably won’t make things difficult for us," the unicorn continued.

Looking at the two Thunder Clan warriors, the unicorn huffed and said, "As for you two, I advise you not to try to leave Thunder Prison and seek survival in the Outer Domain Galaxy."

Having said that, He activated the purplish-green lotus platform.

As Demonic Energy surged, an image of a Demon God with four heads, four arms, and four faces, seated solemnly upon the vicious-looking bone-spiked lotus platform appeared.

"Great Demon God Hemo Tian!"

The Vermilion Bird, the giant serpent, and the unicorn together bowed in worship.

The two mightiest from the Thunder Clan, upon the appearance of this Great Demon God’s image, voluntarily stepped back, not even daring to look at Him.

Fearing that the resentment in their eyes would bring disaster upon themselves.

When their ancestor, the Thunder God, had forged the Thunder Divine Court and ruled over all the Thunder Gods in the heavens, they had a deep-seated hatred towards gods like Zimo of the Ghost Clan and Heaven Demons like Hemo Tian.

The number of gods from those two clans who perished at the hands of the Thunder God was countless.

There were rumors that the Thunder God was denounced by other Thunder Gods, which led to his ultimate demise, with the gods of the Ghost Clan and the Demon Clan playing a considerable role behind the scenes.

After the Thunder God’s death, the Thunder Clan of the "boundary" world in the Outer Star River suffered repression; the Thunder Clan of Thunder Prison suffered even more so.

Since then, every Thunder Clan god that stepped out of Thunder Prison, while still at a low-rank god stage, began to be jointly suppressed and eliminated by the gods of the Ghost Clan and the Demon Clan.

To this day, not a single middle-level god of Thunder Clan origin has been born; even the low-rank gods are scarce.

Lei Fan was well aware that one of the chief culprits behind the recent years of harsh oppression leading to the Thunder Clan’s gradual decline was the Great Demon God sitting atop that lotus platform.

His heart was filled with hatred, yet he was powerless to act.

And in the Thunder Prison before him, the unicorn, the giant serpent, and the Vermilion Bird were even proactively getting close to this Great Demon God, helping Him to check their Thunder Clan.

Lei Fan understood all the ins and outs and knew the intentions of He Motian all too well: He wanted the Thunder Clan of Thunder Prison to never rise again.

Hemo Tian and Zimo would never allow another Thunder God, like the Thunder God, to emerge from the Thunder Clan of Thunder Prison.

"My lord, the God of the Human Race that you are looking for has come to our Thunder Prison..." Lei Fan lamented internally, as the unicorn on the other side had already detailed Pang Jian’s arrival and his situation in Thunder Prison.

"So he’s not in a hurry to return to Purgatory," intoned Hemo Tian’s solemn voice. "Keep a close watch on him. Find a way to keep him in Thunder Prison. I will immediately inform Zimo to have those pursuers sunken in Mysterious Fog converge around your Thunder Prison."

"Understood."

All three Demon Gods responded in unison.

The image of He Motian faded away, and as the lotus platform was swallowed back by the unicorn, the giant snake’s cold and secluded eyes fell upon Lei Fan and Lei Ying as it said, "If you dare to reveal this matter to Pang Jian, not only will the two of you die, but a large number of the Thunder Clan in Thunder Prison will also perish."

The unicorn also said, "Those supreme sovereigns from beyond the skies do not allow the extermination of clans like the Thunder Clan, but killing some is not a problem."

Lei Fan lowered his head, "Understood."

...

Pang Jian returned to Thunder Prison with a somber expression.

Fan Di, who had fought alongside him and provided him with important information on the Ancient Demon World.

Of course, he had also repaid Fan Di, allowing him to regain flesh and blood in the Mysterious Fog and restore his Divine Skills and Divine Power.

Their relationship was present, but not deep.

Even so, the fall of Fan Di made him somewhat sentimental.

Who could it be?

This thought kept circling in his mind.

Leaving the Misty Sea near the Boundary Wall, he saw two distinct groups of the strongest: two Thunder Clan warriors standing together, and three Demon Gods on the other side.

The Thunder Clan warrior who had tested his strength and been unpleasant in demeanor wore a wooden expression on his face.

The unicorn, the Divine Bird Vermilion Bird, and that giant snake, the three Demon Gods, on the other hand, showed a look of goodwill.

The unicorn even eagerly flew over, smiling from afar and asking, "Have you made any discoveries? How different are our Thunder Prison and your Purgatory, exactly?"

"This Thunder Pond you control, since it is a relic of the Thunder God, you must visit Thunder God Mountain!"

"According to the ancient legends passed down in Thunder Prison, the Thunder God achieved enlightenment on that Divine Mountain, breaking through the Thunderbolt Profound Argumentation, and after stepping out of Thunder Prison, he became the first Thunder God in the Star River!"

"The thunder and lightning of Thunder God Mountain are the most ferocious and violent. It was through those thunder and lightning that the Thunder God realized the Tao in his early days."

"The Thunder Pond in your hands may undergo some miraculous changes when placed upon Thunder God Mountain."

The unicorn, following the edict of He Motian, to keep Pang Jian in Thunder Prison, didn’t hesitate to reveal the sacred land of the Thunder Clan in order to pique Pang Jian’s interest.

Pang Jian’s eyes indeed lit up, and he asked, "Would that be convenient?"

He was seeking the opinion of Lei Fan and Lei Ying, the two strongest of the Thunder Clan.

Lei Fan’s expression turned cold, and he was about to say it was inconvenient when he suddenly caught sight of the giant snake glancing at him, so he changed his words and said, "There’s no inconvenience, you have the ancestral relic, you should be safe on Divine Mountain."

"Thank you for leading the way," said Pang Jian.

"Lei Ying, you take him to Divine Mountain," Lei Fan said wearily.

When he discovered the Thunder Pond in Pang Jian’s hands, he had for a moment felt a burning desire to make it his own to revitalize the Thunder Clan.

After the fight, he realized that even with Lei Ying’s help, they were no match for Pang Jian.

The unicorn, Vermilion Bird, and that giant snake had always suppressed them in Thunder Prison over the years; they had never been wholeheartedly aligned with them.

Now, in order to survive this great calamity, the three Demon Gods actually made contact with the Great Demon God He Motian, intending to have Thunder Prison spared from the catastrophe through the intervention of external forces.

With the allegiance of these three Demon Gods, He Motian could take control of Thunder Prison; Lei Fan and Lei Ying had even less of a chance to live.

If that Thunder Pond truly unexpectedly fell into their hands, they would only die faster.

—He Motian and Zimo would never allow a relic of the Thunder God to be glorified in the hands of their Thunder Clan warriors.

Unable to see a hopeful future, Lei Fan, harboring a resigning mindset, felt somewhat disheartened.

...

In the First Realm of Thunder Prison, Origin Thunder Continent.

Thunder God Mountain.

A silvery-white mountain nearly 30,000 feet tall, like a sword piercing the sky, its "tip" surging with endless lightning.

It stood out so prominently, towering above the rest.

Twisting lightning also wound around the mountain, resembling vines, dead branches, and pines, giving the Divine Mountain an extraordinary atmosphere and astonishing Pang Jian.

In Purgatory, no mountain was as tall, nor was there any realm where such ferocious thunder and lightning surged.

"If Long Xiao were here, perhaps..."

The first thought that surfaced in Pang Jian’s mind was that of the Old Thunder Dragon, who dominated Purgatory.

He felt that Thunder God Mountain was exactly the place the Old Thunder Dragon dreamed of visiting.

With Long Xiao’s obsession with the Thunder Tao and his greed for this Divine Tao, if he could come to Thunder God Mountain and comprehend the Thunderbolt secrets contained here, Long Xiao’s strength would certainly soar immensely.

"How do you view our ancestor?"

As Pang Jian marveled at the mystical grandeur of Thunder God Mountain, the Thunder Clan woman who had led him there suddenly interrupted his reverie with this question.

Pang Jian frowned and thought for a moment before answering, "The Tao pursued by the Thunder God is nearly akin to Demon Tao. His path is very devout and powerful. He became the strongest among the Thunder Gods, and to this day, no one has surpassed him; I greatly admire that."

"With the Thunder Pond in your hands, are you willing to help our Thunder Clan?" Lei Ying asked again.
