Heroes' Prison-Chapter 1347 - 1281: The Terrifying Thunder Sea
Above Huang Yi and others, within the black clouds, Ling Mo and his group were standing inside a pavilion.
The pavilion was built near a cliff, surrounded by black clouds, with very low visibility. Even with their excellent Dark Vision, it was hard to see anything.
This is the Clouds of Anger, symbolizing the third sin [Anger]. Anger, like these dark clouds, can cloud one’s judgment and obscure right from wrong.
Within the black clouds, endless lightning flashed, densely packed like unsheathed sharp swords. Once struck, even a demigod would be seriously injured, and those below the Heavenly Realm could hardly survive a second here.
The pavilion stood silently at the cliff’s edge, shielding itself from the external lightning, like a safe haven.
But in reality, this was the most dangerous area in the entire Thunder Sea because it was the third level’s BOSS area!
On the pavilion’s ground lay a huge corpse. Even in death, it continually emitted crackling lightning, exuding a thunderous might.
This corpse was the original third level BOSS—[Thunder Fury Karense], but it had already been killed by the Heavenly Demon.
At this moment, Ling Mo and his group were watching over the corpse, but they were all cautious, not daring to touch it. The overwhelming aura from the corpse made it seem as if it were still alive.
Miyamoto Musashi and T.N.T exchanged shocked glances at each other.
Even such a powerful BOSS was slain by the Heavenly Demon; nobody knew the extent of the Heavenly Demon’s power. If it were the two of them, even if they joined forces and used all their skills, it would be difficult to kill this BOSS.
At this moment, Ling Mo extended a leg and casually kicked the gigantic corpse.
The electric current from the corpse instantly struck his leg, causing his body to tremble and enter a state of temporary paralysis.
After a while, the corpse slowly disappeared, and in its place stood a new figure, Ling Mo’s very likeness.
Looking at the new figure, Ling Mo smirked and said, "Let my clone guard this level! I didn’t go all out against God of Slaughter before the Hell’s Gate. When they arrive here, they will understand just how terrifying an Epic Hero truly is!"
The rest looked at Ling Mo’s clone and smiled in relief.
Even top-level players among the Demon Clan couldn’t grasp the depths of Ling Mo’s strength; Huang Yi and his group definitely wouldn’t pass this level.
"Not good!" Suddenly, Unbeaten’s expression changed, exclaiming, "The rankings show that God of Slaughter and others just cleared the second level!"
"What?! They killed the Heavenly Demon’s clone?"
"How is this possible?!"
"The Heavenly Demon clone is also of demigod strength, and possesses the cloned finished Divine Artifact Magic Dragon Wings. How could God of Slaughter and their group from the Heavenly Realm defeat it?"
For a moment, everyone was shocked!
Ling Mo’s smile froze on his face. He looked at his own clone, then exhaled a long breath and comforted, "Don’t worry! God of Slaughter only killed a clone. The clone’s power is far inferior to my own. Plus, my soul regeneration ability is strong, hard to truly kill. Even if God of Slaughter could kill the Heavenly Demon’s clone, it’s uncertain they could defeat mine! Even if they ultimately succeed, it will take a long time. By then, we will have already reached the summit. Let’s go! We must hurry and meet with the Heavenly Demon above."
After saying this, Ling Mo turned around, stepped out of the pavilion, and entered the endless sea of lightning outside, with the rest hurriedly following, fearing to be left behind.
"Boom~" Just as they left the pavilion, three bolts of lightning came striking down towards Ling Mo and others. But as they were about to hit, a tall demon god’s shadow suddenly rose behind Ling Mo. He raised his hand, creating a barrier that enveloped everyone, shielding them from the external lightning.
Everyone relied on this demon god’s shadow for protection as they rapidly ascended through the black clouds and lightning.
After climbing towards the summit for quite some time, the clouds ahead began to lighten, and the lightning grew less frequent. The thick fog gradually dissipated, and sunlight started to penetrate through the black mist.
Finally, they emerged from the last layer of clouds, completely breaking through the clouds to reach the upper half of Purgatory Mountain.
The brilliant sunlight poured down, coloring everything between heaven and earth gold, like a new world.
The view opened up, revealing a grassland stretching upwards, the gentle breeze swaying the grass, dew dangling from the tips, glimmering like countless pearls in the sunlight.
Looking up, one could see the summit of Purgatory Mountain reaching towards the edge of the blue sky, eventually becoming a small point that disappeared in the center of the brilliant sun.
"Boom~" At this moment, a distant area sent a tremor rumbling through the air!
Even from afar, the earth beneath them gently shook, and the dew on the grass was shaken off.
The group quickly looked up and saw a higher part of the mountainside shrouded in a thick demonic aura, with beams of light occasionally shooting out. Countless rocks were being blasted and rolling down as if some peerless powerhouse was battling there.
"The Heavenly Demon is there; let’s quickly go meet him. He’s about to slay the fourth BOSS..."
...
At this moment, Huang Yi and the others had already climbed to the altitude of the clouds. This was the halfway point of Purgatory Mountain. Moist fog started to hit their faces, making their vision increasingly blurry. Thunder and lightning from the dark clouds felt like they were exploding above their heads.
Looking up, the thunder lights deep within the dark clouds seeped through, covering every inch of sky above, sending chills down one’s spine.
"Look, what is that! It’s so beautiful!" Suddenly, Little Rascal reached out his small hand and pointed to a spot not far ahead.
The group looked over and instantly saw a light sphere the size of a fist, faintly flickering with arcs of electricity, slowly dancing through the air, light and beautiful.
At this point, the light sphere slowly drifted onto a giant rock.
"Boom!" The next moment, the giant rock shattered with a thunderous explosion, turning into drifting flying ash, not leaving even a piece of debris the size of a fingernail!
The group’s bodies jumped in shock, quickly stepping back a pace, looking fearfully at the area where the giant rock was. Luckily, they didn’t approach; the consequences would have been unimaginable.
"That’s a lightning ball! It’s commonly known as the Spirit of Thunder and Lightning!" At this moment, the Pope exclaimed in surprise!
"Spirit of Thunder and Lightning?" Huang Yi was also astounded. For him to restore the Thunder Guard Bracers, that epic equipment, he once used the stone exchange from the martial arts competition reward to trade for an element compass, going through great efforts to find a Spirit of Thunder and Lightning. He didn’t expect such casual appearances in Purgatory!
The Pope then looked up at the lightning-filled sky, suddenly tossing the lightning he held in his hand into the sky. That lightning immediately ascended, flickering with electric serpents, actively extending into the sky.
In no time, the depths of the dark clouds had currents flowing back along those electric serpents, charging into that lightning, causing it to become increasingly brilliant as if greatly nourished.
"What are you doing?" Fuchan Fenrao curiously asked.
The Pope gazed up at the lightning, exclaiming excitedly, "This Thunderbolt Staff of mine is a treasure of the thunder attributes. It needs to absorb sufficient thunder and lightning to elevate to a finished divine artifact. Once it becomes a finished divine artifact, its color will turn half white and half red. Now it’s only white and hasn’t become a finished form. I have been searching everywhere for thunder and lightning to absorb, but never found a place like this! Here, not only is there endless thunder and lightning, the intensity is terrifyingly high, with Spirits of Thunder and Lightning casually appearing even in the outer areas! Who knows what types of lightning are deep within the clouds, or perhaps even the legendary Five-Colored Divine Thunder may appear. If there’s even one Five-Colored Divine Thunder, my Thunderbolt Staff can be elevated to a finished divine artifact!"
"Then you lead the way for this stage, you’re most skilled with lightning abilities, and can make the greatest use of this place!" Huang Yi said.
"Alright!" The Pope nodded, "In the realm of thunder and lightning, I have absolute confidence!"
Next, the group began following the Pope’s lead, while the lightning was always hovering above them, actively absorbing the thunder and lightning from the clouds, effectively protecting the group.
The group ventured deeper; dense dark clouds surrounded them from all sides, blurry and indistinct, with lightning striking everywhere, resembling scenes of the End of the World.
"That’s rumbling thunder! When it hits a human body, the external remains intact, but the organs are burned away—one of the Five Divine Thunders!"
"That’s flash thunder, the fastest in speed. Seeing it means death, there’s no time to react!"
"That’s blood thunder, it harms only animals with blood inside but benefits plants greatly!"
"That’s rushing thunder, the most imposing, often appearing in groups like a charging beast tide, unstoppable, leaving everything in ashes. One can only evade!"
...
While advancing through the endless sea of thunderclouds, the group listened to the Pope’s explanations about various types of thunder and lightning, opening their eyes wide with awe.
Previously, they always assumed thunder and lightning were just that, oblivious to the numerous subdivided types.
"I feel like over there is the source of thunder and lightning, the thunder attributes are erupting, all types of thunder and lightning are boiling, and there’s even a faint trace of the legendary Five-Colored Divine Thunder’s aura. The guardian BOSS should be right there!" At this moment, the Pope suddenly pointed towards the right front area, solemnly said.
The group looked over, but the area looked indistinguishable from others, completely shrouded in dark clouds filled with endless thunder and lightning.
Nonetheless, they trusted the Pope and began moving toward that area!
The closer they got, the lightning hovering above them grew increasingly bright, absorbing more thunder and lightning from the clouds, with the other end even faintly turning red!
And red is the color of divine power!
