Chapter 719 Before the Saint Stamp (1/2)
Boom!
Zhou Yuan could hear the roars of the thunder of destruction as he leapt into the lightning pool and immediately sensed something whizz towards him.
Zhou Yuan tensed up as dazzling light blossomed from the two-feet Law Domain. It seemed to form a domain of its own, separating Zhou Yuan from the rest of the world.
Hu!
Under his nervous gaze, the thunder of destruction did not pounce directly at him, and instead circled around the area where he was as if it had completely lost track of him.
In the end, the flickering lightning also scattered.
Zhou Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and glanced down at Yaoyao who was in his arms. Her beautiful face was as calm as a quiet valley lake, which made Zhou Yuan feel a little embarra.s.sed.
But he soon set aside these needless thoughts and began to increase his speed.
The thunderbolt pool was filled with flas.h.i.+ng lightning, as though countless lightning dragons were wreaking havoc. The terrifying claps of thunder caused the earth to quake.
Zhou Yuan very carefully avoided the raging lightning. Although he managed to slip past the lightning because of his two-feet Law Domain, he knew that it wasn’t an absolute defense. Given his current strength, even the two-feet Law Domain would be unable to protect him if struck by any of the lightning.
Hence, he was extremely cautious as he continued to dive deeper.
Yaoyao also did not say anything to distract him. Her slender arms gently wrapped around Zhou Yuan’s waist as she stared at the raging flashes of lightning in a trance.
For some reason, she felt more and more uneasy as they grew closer to the Cangxuan Saint Stamp.
In her view, an artifact like the Cangxuan Saint Stamp wasn’t something that Zhou Yuan should come into contact with right now because the implications were far too great. However, they had no choice but to search for it given the current situation.
It was as though the Cangxuan Saint Stamp was a gigantic monster that had broken into their peaceful life and was tearing it to pieces...
Yaoyao’s arms tightened around Zhou Yuan’s waist as she rested her cheeks on his shoulder. She closed her eyes and murmured, “Zhou Yuan, I have been very happy for the past few years...”
“What?” asked Zhou Yuan in a distracted manner. He could not clearly hear Yaoyao’s soft voice amidst the constantly booming thunder.
Yaoyao did not repeat her words. She gently leaned against Zhou Yuan’s shoulder with a faint smile curving her lips.
Zhou Yuan did not ask again when he saw this. He tightly held onto her waist and sped up once again.
However, Zhou Yuan seemed to have underestimated the depth of the thunderbolt pool. He had dived for almost half an hour, but still couldn’t see its end. Instead, the thunder of destruction was growing increasingly berserk.
Over time, Zhou Yuan’s face also grew more and more solemn.
The thunder of destruction here was too terrifying. Even if he wasn’t hit, shockwaves from the lightning pulsed through the charged air, causing his two-feet Law Domain to tremble violently.
He was still far too weak. A single thunderbolt here was already more than enough to destroy him.
The two-feet Law Domain built by his current strength clearly couldn’t fully withstand the power of the thunder of destruction.
“This is not good. If this continues, I won’t be able to maintain the two-feet Law Domain for long,” said Zhou Yuan in a low voice.
Yaoyao’s beautiful brows were also scrunched together. “There is most likely no end to the thunderbolt pool.”
Hearing this, Zhou Yuan was stunned. “No end?”
“Because the thunderbolts of destruction are too powerful and can distort s.p.a.ce to form an endless pa.s.sage. If my speculation is correct, patriarch Cangxuan has likely used a special method to hide the Cangxuan Saint Stamp somewhere within this pa.s.sage.
“We have to find that hiding spot to get out, otherwise, we’ll have to turn back.” muttered Yaoyao.
“But there's a great force of destruction here. It won’t be easy to find the hiding spot.”
Zhou Yuan tensed up, eyes flas.h.i.+ng as he said, “But it isn’t impossible.”
