Extreme Almightiest Young Master-Chapter 2001 - 1983: Senior Brother, Don’t Move
"Boom!"
The Golden Dragon collided directly with the tortoise shell, and immediately a deafening roar blasted through the heavens and earth. A shockwave, terrifying to the extreme, erupted from the point of impact, instantly sweeping across the surrounding area for several miles. Even the lightning in the Thunder Prison was affected by this shockwave, starting to deviate, which showed just how terrifying the shockwave was!
Yet, remarkably, the tortoise-shell-like Dharma Treasure did not shatter, firmly protecting the three people, while the Golden Dragon pressed against the shell, relentlessly advancing, with an unstoppable momentum that would not cease without first killing the three. Along the way, everything was destroyed, leaving a ditch several feet wide on the ground, and the glow on the tortoise shell began to dim, threatening to shatter at any moment!
Seeing this situation, the three naturally knew the danger was extreme. Desperately, they poured Gang Qi into the tortoise shell, allowing it to withstand the Golden Dragon’s attack, and in an instant, they were forcefully pushed out of the Thunder Prison by the Golden Dragon, even several miles beyond!
When the Golden Dragon completely disappeared, the tortoise-shell Dharma Treasure before the three people also completely broke apart, shattering into pieces that fell to the ground, and the three at this time frantically spat out fresh blood, clearly extremely injured.
At the last moment, they had abandoned all resistance to the lightning in the Thunder Prison, pouring all their Gang Qi into the tortoise-shell Dharma Treasure. In the following times, they relied entirely on their Physical Bodies to withstand the lightning attacks, and now that they did not die, it sufficiently demonstrated their formidable strength!
Looking at the tortoise-shell Dharma Treasure reduced to fragments, pain showed in their eyes. This tortoise-shell Dharma Treasure was their defense method; it’s no exaggeration to say this shell could withstand attacks from any strong Earth Immortal Realm foes. To break it here was genuinely heartbreaking for them.
Turning eyes to the ruins in the Thunder Prison, their eyes were filled with limitless killing intent. By now, they understood the situation; they had been schemed against by other cultivators in the ruins, nearly losing their lives. Thinking about how everything they’d done here served others’ plans made the three spit out several more mouthfuls of fresh blood.
"Let’s go!"
The elder who held the tortoise-shell Dharma Treasure ordered, pale-faced. At this moment, their strength had greatly diminished, leaving only about one-tenth of their usual power. If those inside pursued to kill them, they wouldn’t be able to escape. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞
The strange Golden Dragon’s existence sufficiently showed the opponent’s power was immensely formidable, at least in the later stages of the Earth Immortal Realm. Facing such a presence meant certain death; even unwillingly, they had to leave.
The other two understood the situation as well. Though they suffered a huge loss, they had no means to recover it, and if they didn’t leave, they might lose their lives here. So, they followed the order-giving elder and left.
The three became three shadows, vanishing in an instant...
"Alas, what a pity. If they didn’t have that tortoise-shell Dharma Treasure, they would have surely died here." Separated by the Thunder Prison, Li Xing saw the opposite side escape through Divine Sense, speaking helplessly. Just a little more; without the tortoise-shell Dharma Treasure, these three would have been slain by his Xuanyuan Heavenly Dragon Devour, thus solving his problem completely.
"It’s okay; their tortoise-shell Dharma Treasure isn’t ordinary. Once they activated it, my Divine Sense couldn’t even penetrate, allowing them to preserve their lives." Fang Yan was equally frustrated at this time. Despite planning extensively, he didn’t foresee them having such an exaggerated defense Dharma Treasure, which could even block his Divine Sense; it was his first time encountering such a magical object.
"It’s how it is now, but those three are severely injured and probably won’t return." With the situation as it was, Li Xing no longer dwelled on it, saying to Fang Yan.
"Mm, with no interference, let’s start exploring this ruin." Fang Yan said quietly to Li Xing, then began to explore the site with him.
Honestly, they didn’t yet know what kind of ruin it was, but upon turning to the front of the ruins, they suddenly discovered that at the front entrance, there stood a stele with four characters shining with blue lightning.
Annihilation Thunder Emperor!
Seeing these four characters, Fang Yan and Li Xing were immediately filled with excitement. Among the ancient masters, only those with real formidable power received such a title, indicating this ruin’s origins were extraordinary. With excited expressions, the two meticulously explored the ruin.
The ruin wasn’t very large, so the two quickly finished exploring. However, they were puzzled by the absence of valuables among the other buildings, with only damaged Dharma Treasures, seemingly war trophies of the Annihilation Thunder Emperor. Yet how they ended up this way remained a mystery, with all Dharma Treasures severely ruined!
Eventually, only the central main hall remained unexplored. Standing outside the hall’s doors, with eyes on the lightning emerging from the gates, neither moved rashly. A sealing left by an ancient powerful being was not something easily opened.
"Let me give it a try," Fang Yan said calmly at this moment. He had a feeling that the lightning was somewhat special, as if it was connected to the trace of lightning he refined in the storm.
"Be careful, don’t force it!" Li Xing, looking at the lightning on the gate, felt a sense of dread and cautioned. Although he didn’t know what Fang Yan intended to do, he knew he couldn’t do anything, so at this point, he could only let Fang Yan try. If anything happened, he could step in to save Fang Yan.
Fang Yan didn’t speak, merely nodded. Then he walked towards the gate of the ancient residence.
Standing not far from the gate, Fang Yan raised his hand, and the trace of lightning refined from the storm instantly appeared, tightly guarding his right hand. He then extended his hand towards the gate that constantly shimmered with lightning.
"Zzz..."
Just as his hand touched the lightning shimmering on the gate, all the lightning on it suddenly surged towards Fang Yan’s right hand. The overwhelming destructive intent nearly scared Li Xing to death. He exclaimed, "Come back quickly!"
But it was too late. The terrifying lightning coursed through Fang Yan’s right hand into his body. In an instant, Fang Yan seemed like he was struck by heavenly lightning, trembling all over. He was enveloped by lightning, and the continuous sound of bones shattering was chilling to hear!
Seeing this, Li Xing wanted to rush over and quickly knock Fang Yan away. In this situation, Fang Yan wouldn’t last long before being annihilated. But just as he was about to act, he actually heard Fang Yan’s voice.
"Senior brother, don’t move, I’m fine!"
Fang Yan’s voice was gentle, without a trace of tension, leaving Li Xing stunned. How could he possibly be okay when his bones were shattering? But the problem was, he could see that Fang Yan’s expression was natural, and he showed no sign of pain. On the contrary, Fang Yan seemed composed.
What is going on?
Witnessing this scene, Li Xing was utterly baffled, completely unable to understand Fang Yan’s current state. However, he could see that Fang Yan indeed had no issues now, so he stayed put, closely watching Fang Yan. If anything went wrong, he would act immediately.
Little did he know that Fang Yan was experiencing something else entirely. Although enveloped by lightning and with bones shattered, Fang Yan felt no pain. On the contrary, he felt quite comfortable. Initially, he didn’t understand what was happening, but eventually, he realized why it was happening.
The trace of lightning he refined in the storm was indeed of the same origin as the lightning on the gate. However, the part he refined was too little to block the lightning on the gate. Initially, the surge almost obliterated him, but the trace of lightning he refined erupted at the critical moment, continuously assimilating the lightning entering his body.
Under these circumstances, his body’s condition improved, and the broken bones began to heal, so now there was no danger. He only needed to wait for the lightning to be completely assimilated, and there would be no problem.
As time passed, after just a short while, the lightning on Fang Yan no longer harmed him. At this moment, Fang Yan smiled, and under Li Xing’s astonished gaze, pushed open the gate.
Fang Yan hadn’t anticipated that the key to opening this gate was to refine the storm beforehand and obtain that trace of lightning. Otherwise, no one could withstand the lightning on the gate because, in reality, it wasn’t lightning at all but a trace of thunder flame, merely appearing like lightning.
"Creak..."
The gate was pushed open, revealing the scene inside. Within the gate was a hall, empty except for a passage that seemed to lead down. Seeing this, the two didn’t hesitate and followed the passage downward.
After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, they arrived at another hall. This hall was roughly ten zhang in radius, with a peculiar sight at its center. There floated a strand of lightning, taking the shape of a flame, with a dagger-like object suspended at its core.
While the two were unsure of what was happening, a light screen suddenly appeared, displaying characters with a ghostly glow, and the entrance to the hall was completely sealed, trapping them inside.
Looking up at the light screen, they finally understood what was happening...
