“Big Brother, where are we running to?”
As the Tribulation Lightning swept Lu Ming along in its flight, it looked back at Ye Fan, who was hot on their heels, and asked.
Lu Ming thought about it and realized he really had nowhere to run!
Based on the network of people he knew, there really wasn't a single person who could deal with the guy behind them.
With the strength of the guy chasing them, there probably weren't many in the entire Xuantian Continent who could match him.
At this thought, Lu Ming couldn't help but ask the Tribulation Lightning,
“Little Jie, do you know of any dangerous places?”
“I do!”
“Where?”
Lu Ming hadn't expected the Tribulation Lightning to actually know of such a place.
“The center of the Thunder Pool, where that Ten Thousand Tribulations Lightning guy is being nurtured... Big Brother, let me tell you! The lightning rules energy in that place can definitely blast this guy behind us until not even a speck of dust remains...”
Lu Ming's heart stirred as he recalled the last time the Punishment Lightning had asked him to handle the matter of the Ten Thousand Tribulations Lightning.
At the time, his Protagonist Halo had run away, and since he was busy chasing it down, he had put this matter on the back burner!
“Alright! To the Thunder Pool it is...”
“You got it, Big Brother! Hold on tight...”
The Tribulation Lightning agreed excitedly, and then accelerated once more.
Sweeping Lu Ming along amidst flashes of lightning and rolls of thunder, it rushed excitedly back home...
Woohoo... This is great! I've finally invited Big Brother back home!
As for whether Lu Ming could withstand the lightning power in the depths of the Thunder Pool, it didn't doubt him for a second.
Big Brother handled the Ten Thousand Tribulations Lightning like it was child's play; how could he possibly fear its birthplace?
Chasing from behind, Ye Fan couldn't help but curse inwardly when he saw the Tribulation Lightning ahead speed up again.
He had fought painstakingly for so long and was finally about to kill his archenemy.
Yet this damned Tribulation Lightning had to come and interfere!
Right now, he had only one thought in his mind: he must kill Lu Ming!
With that, he also picked up his pace.
He was truly afraid that if he lost focus for even a second, Lu Ming would escape again!
...
“Hahaha... Punishment Lightning, look who I brought back...”
Before they had even entered the Thunder Pool, the Tribulation Lightning was already shouting in excitement!
“Who is it?”
The Punishment Lightning leapt thirty feet into the air and looked in the direction of the Tribulation Lightning!
“Big Brother!!”
“Boom...” Just as the Punishment Lightning cried out in shock, the Tribulation Lightning plunged headfirst into the boundless Thunder Pool, carrying Lu Ming with it.
Instantly, Lu Ming felt a surge of lightning power, far more violent than that of the Tribulation Lightning, forcefully flooding into his limbs and bones.
A searing pain instantly swept through his entire body.
His flesh felt as though it were being pierced by thousands of steel needles, and his meridians burned hot and swollen.
Lu Ming grit his teeth, the veins on his forehead bulging, not daring to delay for even a fraction of a second.
He quickly circulated his cultivation technique, running it at full speed.
The moment his technique began to circulate, the lightning power in the Thunder Pool flooded frantically into his body through his pores.
His meridians were stretched to their absolute limits by the violent lightning power, on the verge of tearing apart!
Lu Ming grimaced in agony.
He originally wanted to cry out, but then he remembered his little brothers were watching nearby.
I can't lose face as the big brother. I must endure it!
Fortunately, it was still within his limit!
Finally, the lightning power flowed through his meridians and entered his dantian.
As he absorbed this lightning power, the spiritual energy in Lu Ming's body was also replenished!
“Big Brother, is that over there the birthplace of the Ten Thousand Tribulations Lightning?”
Just then, the Tribulation Lightning hastily materialized a hand and pointed toward the very core of the Thunder Pool.
Lu Ming looked up in the direction it was pointing.
Right in the center of the entire Thunder Pool lay an area completely different from the rest.
Purple-gold lightning mixed with black surged and roared like a boiling sea.
It erupted with blinding flashes of lightning, and the air itself twisted and trembled under the scorching heat of the violent lightning power.
It exuded an aura that made one's heart tremble with fear!
At the very center of that section of the Thunder Pool, a massive ball of lightning spun continuously, occasionally collapsing inward to form a vortex.
It released a primordial pressure powerful enough to awe heaven and earth.
It seemed as though something was slowly being nurtured and taking shape in the depths of the Thunder Pool.
Lu Ming's heart stirred. This was probably the soon-to-be-born Ten Thousand Tribulations Lightning!
“Little Jie, why did you bring Big Brother back?”
The Punishment Lightning looked at the Tribulation Lightning and asked curiously.
After all, this fellow was supposed to be out executing a mission!
“Sigh... Don't even mention it. I ran into a worthless brat who was bullying our big brother. I couldn't even leave a scratch on him with my lightning, so I brought Big Brother and ran back...”
“Boom...”
Just as the Tribulation Lightning finished speaking, Ye Fan descended with a thunderous crash!
“Is it this worthless brat?”
Looking at Ye Fan, who stood outside the Thunder Pool with an incredibly arrogant air, the Punishment Lightning asked.
“Yes! That's him! But we can't harm him with our lightning; he's a Half-Immortal...”
The Punishment Lightning nodded. They really couldn't beat him!
Then, the lightning on its body crackled as an idea popped into its mind.
Next, it controlled its lightning to write out several characters:
“RESTRICTED THUNDER POOL! NO ENTRY FOR THOSE ABOVE THE MAHAYANA STAGE! VIOLATORS WILL BE EXECUTED WITHOUT MERCY!!!”
It even made the words “EXECUTED WITHOUT MERCY” extra bold and thick.
The meaning was self-evident; those words were the main point...
Seeing this, the Tribulation Lightning was somewhat puzzled and communicated with the Punishment Lightning:
“Why are you telling this worthless brat that? Let him in so we can blast him to death in the middle of the Thunder Pool!”
The Punishment Lightning crackled with excitement all over:
“Hehehe... What do you know? People like him are exactly the type who will do whatever you tell them not to do...”
Sure enough, when Ye Fan saw those words, his eyes narrowed slightly!
Originally, he had still been hesitating about whether to enter.
After all, this was the Thunder Pool of this world, which was still very dangerous!
But seeing those words, he instantly understood—this was done deliberately because they were afraid of him entering!
The problem was, as a dignified Immortal Emperor who had lived for nine lifetimes, how could he not see through such a petty trick!
Without another second's hesitation, he raised his hand and unleashed a strike!
Today, not even God himself could stop him from killing Lu Ming!
“Boom...”
Caught completely off guard, the Punishment Lightning and Tribulation Lightning were instantly shattered into several pieces!
If they hadn't been inside the Thunder Pool, they would probably have been severely injured!
“Holy crap... This guy has no sportsmanship!”
“Damn... This worthless brat is not human...”
The Punishment Lightning and Tribulation Lightning roared in anger as they quickly retreated!
If we can't afford to provoke you, can't we at least hide from you?
“Hmph...”
Seeing the miserable state of the two lightnings, Ye Fan let out a cold snort.
Then, propping up a protective shield of laws, he leaped into the Thunder Pool without hesitation and rushed toward Lu Ming!
Lightning struck the protective shield, crackling and exploding into blinding silver-white sparks.
Only a few tiny cracks appeared on the surface of the law patterns.
For Ye Fan, the impact was negligible.
Without stopping, he trod upon the surging and raging waves of lightning, charging toward Lu Ming to kill him!
Seeing Ye Fan pursuing him, Lu Ming frowned slightly and glanced toward the depths of the Thunder Pool.
Grit his teeth, he fled even deeper...
“Rumble...”
The thunder rumbled continuously...
Lu Ming felt the tearing sensation in his meridians grow stronger and stronger. The pain was so intense that the cold sweat had barely broken out on his skin before it was instantly evaporated by the lightning...
But he could also feel more and more energy entering his dantian...
“Boom...”
Seeing Lu Ming flee deeper again, Ye Fan did not hesitate to strike!
“Oh no! Big Brother is in danger...”
Seeing Ye Fan attack, the Punishment Lightning and Tribulation Lightning acted in unison, raising barrier after barrier of lightning...
