Chapter 1199: Counterattack! (1/2)
On the outside.
It had stopped raining, but the sky was still dark.
Channeled by Zheng Yi, the bright thunder pools floated in midair around his lightning domain like huge glorious plates.
In front of the thunder pools and his lightning domain that was filled with raging lightning power was the enormous thunder vortex where Nie Tian and the others were trapped.
Like devastating lightning dragons, more than a dozen streams of lighting extended from the thunder pools to the thunder vortex.
At this moment, Zheng Yi was still enhancing the intensity of the lightning power within the storming vortex.
Heart filled with dread, Han Sen stayed as far as he could from him.
He had a feeling that after Zheng Yi killed Yuan Jiuchuan and the others with the help of those thunder pools and refined this heaven and earth transformed from the Thunder-devouring Whale’s flesh aura, he might be able to enter the God domain. If that happened... his existence would become unnecessary.
Originally, Zheng Yi had hoped that Han Sen would be able to enter the God domain someday and reshape the lightning element sect’s reputation.
However, if Zheng Yi could enter the God domain himself and push the limit of his lifespan forward, Han Sen’s life or death wouldn’t mean anything to him.
Realizing this, Han Sen had a complicated feeling.
Having learned from Zheng Yi for so many years, he was well-aware of his vicious nature, and that he would go all the way with something as long as he considered it to be helpful to him.
Meanwhile, he didn’t have what it took to contend against Zheng Yi yet. It would be every unwise for him to show his discontent over Zheng Yi’s decisions at this moment and get himself killed.
“I just hope that he doesn’t succeed. Only if he fails will I have a chance...” Han Sen said inwardly as he subconsciously backed farther away with his eyes fixed on the frenzied Zheng Yi and his thunderstorm vortex.
“People call Yuan Jiuchuan the Thunder Devil. His cultivation base is only slightly lower than my master’s. If he can get Nie Tian and the others to work with him, they should be able to hold on for a bit longer, right?
“Also, where the hell is the Thunder-devouring Whale’s heart hiding itself? That’s the reason why I came here. If I can obtain it, my lightning bloodline will see a significant breakthrough.”
With these thoughts, he glanced around and carefully sensed the vicinity with his bloodline power.
However, not only was the Thunder-devouring Whale’s heart nowhere to be seen, but even its aura had vanished completely.
From the look of it, the Thunder-devouring Whale had abandoned this heaven and earth that was the result of its flesh aura and energies of heaven and earth mixing together.
It seemed that his master, Zheng Yi, had replaced the Thunder-devouring Whale, and become the ruler of this special heaven and earth.
“The Thunder-devouring Whale was a tenth grade Ancientbeast. Its intelligence must be every bit as developed as ours. I bet it has its reasons for letting another tamper with its private realm.”
Han Sen soon came to the conclusion that the Thunder-devouring Whale was merely sitting on the mountaintop and watching the tigers fight. (Idiom: watch in safety while others fight, then reap the rewards when both sides are exhausted)
Han Sen let out a cold harrumph and said inwardly, “You have nothing but your heart to rely on now. So what if you used to be a mighty tenth grade existence? If my master actually breaks through into the God domain with the help of those thunder pools, everything in this heaven and earth, including you, will become a part of his lightning domain and materials he’ll use to forge his dharma idol!
“That’s not what you want, right?!”
BZZZ! BZZZ! BZZZ!
As Han Sen exclaimed inwardly, he was surprised to notice that lightning bolts in some areas of the thunderstorm vortex were being twisted and ripped apart.
CRUNCH!
A gigantic foot of the black tortoise suddenly poked through the interweaving lightning bolts and stuck out of the vortex.
In another location, that mysterious bone of Nie Tian’s, which was sharp enough to pierce anything in this world, also ripped through the lightning wall.
A pagoda that was wreathed in countless spatial blades also stuck out in a third location.
