Chapter 1971 Financial Loss, Terrifying Consumption!

Forbidden Sea, Middle Level of Thunder Abyss Forbidden Area!

Thunderbolts filled the sky like a wildly dancing dragon, traversing the eight directions of heaven and earth.

A purple-gold arc of electricity tore through thick, dark clouds, and a deafening roar, like the howl of an ancient beast, echoed endlessly through the void.

Each sound caused the surrounding air to tremble violently, crackling with tiny sparks of electricity as it struck the invisible spatial barrier.

The hard, smooth glass floor beneath our feet was shaking uncontrollably.

suddenly.

Two streaks of light tore through the curtain of lightning, moving at incredible speeds, like ghosts weaving through this extremely dangerous area.

Wherever it passed, even the raging thunder around it was temporarily dispersed, leaving only a fleeting afterimage.

Above their heads, the dark clouds were as black as ink, so thick they seemed impossible to disperse.

Countless arcs of electricity pulsed and intertwined wildly in the clouds, emitting a piercing "sizzling" sound.

Every now and then, a bolt of lightning, hundreds of feet thick, would strike down with earth-shattering force and terrifying speed, its trajectory completely unpredictable.

It was as if the wrath of Heaven was raging, wantonly unleashing the majesty of this forbidden land.

therefore!

No matter how fast those two streaks of light were, or how unpredictable their movements, they ultimately could not completely evade this all-pervasive lightning.

They are often affected by the lightning strikes from the sky.

In an instant, it was submerged in an endless sea of ​​lightning, and not even a trace of its presence could be detected.

But in the next moment, the two streaks of light submerged in the ocean of lightning always managed to break through the layers of lightning nets, retreating unscathed with a faint halo, without stopping at all, and continuing to shoot rapidly into the depths of the forbidden area.

This scene,

This scene played out repeatedly in this sea of ​​lightning.

It seemed like an endless contest.

On one side was the raging, unparalleled lightning of the laws, and on the other were two figures resolutely moving forward.

Looking closely...

Through the flashing arcs of electricity and the thick fog of thunder, the vague outlines of human figures could be faintly seen within the two streaks of light.

One was tall and the other short, their auras were strong and the other weak.

Within the streak of light on the left, a figure stood tall and straight!

Above its head, a millstone-shaped treasure slowly rotated, its surface engraved with ferocious runes and radiating an incomparably domineering crimson aura.

During rotation,

A thick, crimson light curtain descended, completely enveloping his entire body.

Those lightning bolts, imbued with the laws of thunder, that attacked from all directions, were instantly disintegrated and devoured upon touching the crimson light barrier.

It couldn't even stir up the slightest ripple.

This person was composed and walked with a steady gait.

It was as if he were not walking in the treacherous and unpredictable Thunder Abyss Forbidden Land, but strolling in his own courtyard. The raging lightning around him could not affect him in the slightest.

Meanwhile, in another stream of light, a figure had an ancient pagoda floating above its head.

The tower, entirely bluish-gray in color, emitted a faint spiritual light, closely following the figure in front.

We dare not slack off in the slightest.

However, compared to the former, he was much inferior.

To be precise, the protective treasures above their heads were worlds apart.

This was because the pagoda floating above his head was already covered with several long, narrow cracks.

Traces of lightning strikes still remain in the crack.

The light dimmed and flickered slightly.

It looked as if it would shatter completely at any moment, making one's heart tighten.

Not bad.

These two figures are none other than Sha Minghong and Cheng Buzheng!

Just then...

boom--!

A deafening roar suddenly erupted, causing the entire void to tremble violently.

It felt as if it were about to be torn apart by this force.

Even the thunder that filled the sky paused for a moment.

Then,

A bolt of lightning, far thicker than ever before, measuring a hundred feet in diameter, crackled with blinding purple-gold arcs of electricity. Its surface pulsated with a chilling aura of the laws of lightning, and like a punishment descended from the heavens, it crashed down with a deafening roar.

The target was directly at the location of the two streaks of light.

In an instant,

Within a radius of a thousand miles, everything was engulfed by endless lightning.

A purple-gold lightning bolt shot into the sky, illuminating the entire world.

The terrifying power of thunder raged unchecked!

Wherever it went...

The void twisted and exploded.

It stirred up a sky full of light, which was then instantly burned away by lightning.

Before Sha Minghong and Cheng Buzheng could even react, they were completely engulfed by the endless ocean of lightning, their figures instantly swallowed by the lightning.

For this,

Sha Minghong showed no sign of panic.

The [Hellish Annihilation Millstone] hovering above its head trembled slightly, and an incomparably domineering crimson power swept out from the millstone.

Like a tiger descending a mountain, unstoppable, it easily intercepted the lightning bolt containing terrifying power of laws outside the crimson light barrier.

The lightning struck the light barrier with a loud "bang," and was immediately swallowed and refined by the barrier.

Not even a trace of residual power remained.

Cheng Buzheng, who was a step behind, was not so composed.

The pagoda above his head was struck by this terrifying lightning...

A crisp cracking sound rang out instantly.

Click—!

Following the sound, they saw that the already cracked top-grade magic weapon was now completely shattered into pieces.

Under the powerful bombardment of lightning, fragments of the pagoda scattered in all directions like kites with broken strings.

A faint spiritual light remained on the fragment, but it began to melt rapidly the moment it came into contact with the surrounding lightning.

Before the hundreds of pagoda fragments had flown far, a piercing sound of vaporization rang out.

Sizzle—!

Those pagoda fragments, forged from the most precious and rare spiritual materials and normally indestructible, instantly melted away like snow in spring under the onslaught of the lightning imbued with the power of the laws within, as if struck by lightning itself.

Not even a trace of residue was left.

It was as if they had never existed.

Obviously,

Under the onslaught of lightning imbued with the laws of thunder, without the support of Cheng Buzheng's own power of laws...

Even the most precious and robust top-grade defensive magic treasures are utterly powerless against it.

Even holding a single breath is difficult.

It is as fragile as paper.

Cheng Buzheng reacted extremely quickly just as the Zhenyue Pagoda was about to crumble.

A hint of seriousness flashed in his eyes. He immediately waved his hand, and a stream of light flew out of his storage ring, carrying a radiant pearl into the air.

The pearl was completely lustrous, radiating five-colored spiritual light, and instantly replaced the previous [Zhenyue Pagoda].

A thick, five-colored light curtain hung above his head, protecting him and barely shielding him from the surrounding lightning strikes.

"【Zhenyue Pagoda】couldn't even last for the time it takes to burn an incense stick?"

It seems I underestimated the terror of the Law Lightning in the middle layer of the [Thunder Abyss Forbidden Land]!

The purity of this Law of Lightning is far higher than I imagined.

Cheng Buzheng frowned, his gaze turning grave as he looked at the fragments of the Zhenyue Tower that had been instantly vaporized by the terrifying lightning strikes. He pondered to himself...

A barely perceptible trace of regret swept through my heart—

If he had known earlier that the lightning here would be so domineering, he would have prepared more defensive magic treasures.

Just then, a familiar, crisp cracking sound reached my ears again.

Click—!

Looking in the direction of the sound...

The five-colored pearl that had just been summoned had developed a thin but clear crack on its surface due to the constant impact of the surrounding lightning.

The brilliance dimmed somewhat as a result.

Obviously,

This top-grade magic weapon also couldn't last long.

It could follow in the footsteps of the Zhenyue Pagoda at any time.

at the same time,

The composed Shark Minghong ahead seemed to have also noticed the unusual change in Cheng Buzheng's group behind him.

He paused slightly, then slowly turned his head to look over.

His gaze fell on the chipped pearl atop Cheng Buzheng's head, a knowing glint in his eyes.

Then, his lips twitched slightly, and he spoke gently:

"Young friend, you have no supreme treasure to protect you, and the magic treasures on your body are also unable to withstand the mid-level law lightning."

If you continue down this path, once your internal energy of laws is exhausted, there's nowhere in this forbidden area for you to recover.

If you damage your own essence in the future, it will be a loss that outweighs the gains.

Why don't you just go back?

Sha Minghong understood perfectly well that this Nightmare Clan boy was cautious and timid by nature, regardless of whether he offered to have the other party under his protection.

If we ask the other party to turn back, they will definitely not agree.

He said this simply to show his goodwill and let the other party know that he had no ill intentions.

really!

Cheng Buzheng's answer was not beyond Sha Minghong's expectations.

He bowed slightly, his tone firm, without the slightest hesitation:

"Thank you for your concern, senior!"

Since I have promised to see you off on your final journey, there is absolutely no reason for me to give up halfway.

No matter how treacherous the road ahead, I will accompany you to the very end.

Obviously,

Cheng Buzheng was not at ease with Sha Minghong.

He knew perfectly well that Shark Minghong was incredibly powerful, and if the other party changed his mind halfway and stayed in this realm, he would definitely become a major threat in the future.

Only by watching him step into the ascension passage and leave this world can he be truly at ease.

Even if this Dharma body ultimately perishes within the [Thunder Abyss Forbidden Land], it will still be worthwhile—

At worst, we can spend time later to nurture this wisp of true spirit and reshape the Dharma body.

Moreover, he is still very young and has plenty of lifespan to squander.

Even if this incident resulted in the loss of some of the fundamental laws...

With his current level of understanding, it wouldn't take him much time at all.

It will only take a few decades at most for them to regain their peak.

Therefore, in his view, it wasn't a huge loss!

Upon hearing this, Sha Minghong did not continue to persuade him. He chuckled and nodded, saying:

"Then thank you very much, young friend!"

Having said that, he didn't linger. With a swift movement, he transformed into a streak of crimson light once more, heading straight into the depths of the [Thunder Abyss Forbidden Land].

His steps remained composed, and the crimson light barrier around him steadily resisted the thunderous storm.

Then,

Cheng Buzheng immediately transformed into a streak of light, shooting out from the vast ocean of lightning and closely following behind Sha Minghong.

The five-colored jewel above their heads was still struggling to hold on.

The ripples on the light screen grew more and more intense, and the gap slowly widened.

As time goes by...

Cheng Buzheng's magical treasures were also being depleted.

He repeatedly took out defensive magical artifacts from his storage ring.

From pagodas to shields, from jewels to jade pendants,

Each one is a top-grade magic weapon.

however!

Before this terrifying lightning of the law, even the most exquisite magic treasures are like fragile glass, instantly shattered and vaporized.

Half an hour later, the two streaks of light finally pierced through the layers of lightning nets in the middle layer of the [Thunder Abyss Forbidden Land] and stepped into the more dangerous inner area.

Click—!

A crisp cracking sound rang out again.

This time, the sound was even more piercing than before.

Looking in the direction of the sound, one could see that what was now surrounding Cheng Buzheng was his last defensive magic weapon—

A completely black shield, its surface engraved with defensive runes, was now covered with countless cracks, and a new crack was quietly spreading out.

The shield swayed slightly, its aura almost completely dissipated, and it seemed on the verge of collapse.

It seems like it could be completely scrapped at any moment.

see,

A deep sense of helplessness flashed in Cheng Buzheng's eyes, his brows furrowed tightly, and he smiled bitterly to himself.

'That's great!'

The last magical artifact is also about to break down.

Next, they could only rely on their own power of laws to withstand it.

'If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't be in this predicament now.'

Just as he was silently muttering to himself, his expression turning slightly grave...

boom--!

A deep, muffled thud resounded...

That dark shield, which had been struggling to hold on, finally couldn't withstand the onslaught of lightning and shattered instantly, turning into black fragments that scattered in all directions.

The fragments, in the instant they shattered, were vaporized by the surrounding raging lightning.

Not even a trace was left.

'not good! '

Cheng Buzheng inwardly cried out in alarm, his expression instantly turning serious. Without the slightest hesitation, a thought flashed through his mind...

The abundant power of laws within his body began to surge wildly.

A faint, dark yellow light emanated from his body.

Supernatural Power: Holy Light of Tribulation Transcending!

In an instant, a layer of warm, dark yellow light burst forth from his body, enveloping him.

On the light screen, runes faintly flickered, emanating a subtle divine aura.

This is his trump card defensive technique, activated by his own laws, capable of withstanding extremely powerful attacks.

The lightning bolts, imbued with the power of laws, collided fiercely with the Xuanhuang light barrier, instantly creating a faint ripple.

The light barrier trembled slightly, but ultimately it was not breached.

However, Cheng Buzheng could clearly feel that the power of the laws within his body was being consumed at an extremely rapid rate.

Cheng Buzheng closed his eyes, silently sensing the rate at which the power of the laws within his body was dissipating, and immediately began to make calculations.

"Given the current intensity of the law-based lightning, and with the amount of law-based power stored within my body, I can only sustain it for about half a day at most."

Half a day later, the power of the law will definitely be exhausted.

If they then want to personally send Sha Minghong out of this realm, they will have no choice but to sacrifice their own source of laws to withstand the attack.

That would mean a truly huge loss.

quickly,

Based on the current rate at which his power of law was being consumed, Cheng Buzheng roughly calculated how long he could hold out.

However, this is only the most ideal scenario—

In fact, as he delves deeper into the [Thunder Abyss Forbidden Land], the unpredictable laws of lightning will increasingly concentrate the power of the laws of lightning within them.

Vaillant will become increasingly terrifying!
