Chapter 1482: Chapter One Thousand Four Hundred Eighty-Three: Thunder Array Gate

The advanced technology of the Great Tang Empire is well-known, but when it comes to power, rarely does anyone incorporate technological strength into it.

Generally speaking, only those whose personal strength is insufficient tend to rely on technological power.

Or perhaps, those who are already immensely powerful may use technological power as an auxiliary tool!

Because of this, the technological capabilities of the Great Tang Empire are almost entirely dedicated to civilian applications.

As for military technology, it is quite scarce.

However, being scarce does not imply a complete absence, and neurotoxins are, in fact, a form of technological innovation.

Moreover, this toxin is incredibly peculiar.

Neurotoxins cover a wide range, with various transmission methods.

One of these involves something so bizarre that merely looking at it could cause poisoning.

No wonder, even though Ye Luo used the Clairvoyant Eye to confirm there were only a dozen Demon Clan members present, someone still got poisoned—it turned out to be neurotoxins, and through such an eerie mode of transmission.

If no one looked at the green glow, the neurotoxin would lose its effect.

Soon, the group disregarded the green glow and proceeded forward.

Ye Luo occasionally used the Clairvoyant Eye to observe the Demon Clan members, so he was acutely aware that they remained motionless, still stationed in their prior locations.

The group moved quickly, even though traps, mechanisms, and formations appeared occasionally, nothing could truly impede their advance!

Until they arrived at a massive door!

Passing through this door would lead them to the Demon Clan members and allow them to rescue the Royal Academy disciples kidnapped by the Demon Clan.

However, this door was far from ordinary!

Countless patterns were engraved on the door, making it immediately clear that the door was reinforced with formations.

During their journey, apart from the green glow, the group had encountered scarcely any significant obstacles. It was evident that the true challenge lay before this door!

The Demon Clan had turned this location into a secret base, so of course, it would be fortified.

Looking at the door now, it seemed to be the toughest barrier yet.

Someone prepared to step forward and attempt to push the door, but Ye Luo immediately stopped them.

"Don’t go near!"

Ye Luo commanded, simultaneously retrieving some otherwise unnecessary items from the Qiankun Ring.

With a casual flick of his wrist, he threw a random object toward the door.

Suddenly, a thunderous explosion erupted, and a bolt of lightning flashed, instantly obliterating the item Ye Luo had thrown!

Damn it, a lightning array!

The door was reinforced with a lightning array; any object entering its attack range would trigger an immediate strike.

Lightning arrays could indeed be set up by many array masters in the Great Tang Empire.

Using heavenly lightning to attack enemies was nothing unusual!

But the lightning array on this door was entirely different from any lightning arrays Ye Luo and his companions had encountered before.

Because this lightning array did not draw heavenly lightning for its attacks—rather, the door itself possessed intrinsic lightning power!

What was going on here? Even those with some understanding of formations were completely baffled, let alone those who knew nothing about formations.

The group was utterly clueless.

Except for realizing that a lightning guardian protected this door, they had no viable method of breaking through!

Could such a mere door really stump so many people?

Ye Luo furrowed his brow, quickly brainstorming solutions.

Lightning power? But this was the Netherworld Palace; it should be impossible to summon lightning here. So where did this lightning power originate?

Could it be gathered by spiritual power?

That would require ample spiritual power to work!

However, upon closer examination, the door didn’t appear particularly remarkable—apart from its abundance of patterns!

Wait a moment, patterns!

A sudden realization struck Ye Luo!

Yes, the patterns! The most unusual feature of this door was those enigmatic patterns.

Furthermore, upon closer inspection, these patterns seemed to have no discernible order!

Initially, one might assume these patterns were unique to the Demon Clan’s culture and incomprehensible due to cultural differences.

But now, Ye Luo disagreed.

The Demon Clan had constructed this Netherworld Palace in a short time, meaning this place must hold tremendous significance!

And the door’s material wasn’t particularly rare, inherently incapable of summoning heavenly lightning—much less without a foundational source!

So, if that’s the case, the lightning power must be tied to the patterns!

"Clairvoyant Eye, activate!"

Ye Luo reactivated the Clairvoyant Eye, not to penetrate anything, but to analyze the peculiarities of the patterns.

Upon activation, Ye Luo quickly noticed something unusual.

The patterns emitted a bizarre aura and even contained traces of special energy within.

Clearly, this mysterious energy was the root cause of the lightning strikes!

So, that’s it!

Ye Luo was enlightened!

The door seemed incredibly formidable and appeared to lack any straightforward way to break through. But upon detecting the special energy within the patterns, Ye Luo realized the true power of this door stemmed from those patterns and the energies embedded in them!

Ye Luo kept the Clairvoyant Eye active, meticulously studying the patterns.

After a brief moment, Ye Luo finally identified the focal point!

It was a peculiar stone—one that seemed utterly ordinary at first glance. However, upon closer inspection, it became apparent that the stone was anything but normal, given that its material composition was completely indiscernible.

This was a unique stone, the likes of which Ye Luo had never encountered before!

Nearly all the energy emanated from this stone. In other words, this stone was the core of the door and the source of its attacks!

Removing this stone would neutralize the door’s formation.

But how could he remove it? How could he extract this peculiar stone?

Ye Luo’s brows furrowed as he mulled over potential solutions.

A moment later, Ye Luo concluded it was impossible to extract the stone.

Then, was there a way to destroy it?

Ye Luo adopted a serious expression, but his hands were already in motion—after all, without testing it, how could he possibly know the outcome?

And so, Ye Luo summoned the Lingyun Sword without hesitation.
