Vol 31 Chapter 9 (1/2)
Book 31, Starflow River, Chapter 9 – The Second Danger
“Darknorth!” As the Ninedust Sectlord dodged behind Daolord Laya, he discovered to his a the sahly on the same level of power as him If he didn’t dare to take it head-on, hoas it that Darknorth did? But there was nothing he could do except worry; the final attack of the lightning guardian was already descending upon them
BOOM! The enormous hand descended upon them like the firmament of heaven itself This strike contained the full force the lightning guardian was capable of , and it had been reinforced by the wards of the palace itself
Rings of white light appeared around Daolord Laya and the Ninedust Sectlord, allowing them to endure and withstand the strike
Whoosh The lightning guardian withdrew his pallanced at the three and smiled “I didn’t expect that one of you would be able to endure h his oer It seems you have quite an i fellow One more trial awaits you, set down by my master I hope you all survive it”
The lightning guardian took a single step, then dispersed into countless streaks of lightning that quickly scattered in each direction No htning at all
“Impressive, Darknorth You actually took it head-on” The Ninedust Sectlord walked over to Ning
“According to my racial records, only the most supreme of Daolords can endure such a blow head-on I’m impressed, Darknorth” Daolord Laya truly was amazed The power of that strike was far beyond what ordinary Eternal Emperors were capable of; that was a full-power strike frouardian which was reinforced by the palace’s formations!
“Eh, I simply have a decent protective divine ability My entire body is still nuive out underneath hed “If that lightning giant launched ainst me, I wouldn’t have been able to endure it”
“Just like that, I used up a boneseal which one of our Ehed, “If there were multiple attacks, no number of boneseals would’ve been able to protect me”
Ning couldn’t help but sigh in amazement as well His divine body was close to but not quite on par with a low-grade Eternal weapon He had emon armor to endure this hit Alas, the treasures he needed to upgrade his protective divine ability were sionfish Ki, but he needed to find the rest as well He needed to upgrade his divine body to rade Eternal treasure as quickly as possible
Ning, Ninedust, and Daolord Laya followed the winding hallways of the palace The Thundersouth Palace was extree and quite beautiful Every so often, they would see a few flickers of Eternal lightning swi distance away from them Clearly, now that they had survived the first trial the Eternal lightning would no longer cause any trouble for them
“Halt!” Daolord Laya suddenly called out
“Eh?” Ning and Ninedust came to a halt In front of they, and a faint layer of cold mist could be seen on its surface There was a crooked wooden bridge which passed through the entire lake
“The wooden bridge up ahead is the second dangerous trial which ill face in Thundersouth Palace, and the last one which could be life-threatening to us,” Daolord Laya said soerous than the first one”
“More dangerous?” Ning and Ninedust were both startled Ninedust couldn’t help but frown “You were already forced to use up an Emperor’s boneseal to survive the first one Now you are telling me that this one is worse?”
“Yes” Daolord Laya said somberly, “Quite a few of the more powerful Daolords of my race have visited Thundersouth Palace in their tile boneseal, but nearly half still ended up perishi+ng here! It erous areas here If you use up the boneseal during the first danger, you’d definitely survive it… and so the ones who didn’t all perished here”
Ning and Ninedust felt their hearts clench Nearly half of the Daolords had perished here?
“Still, I’m confident in my chances” Daolord Laya smiled “The E Don’t worry at all, gentlee a try If I really am so unlucky as to die here, then you can simply leave The invisibility formation my race set up is only directed outwards, not inwards”
“Brother Laya, what is so dangerous about the wooden bridge?” Ning asked
“Once you step onto the wooden bridge, you’ll be trapped within an illusory real one! If you allow yourself to be led astray and accidentally fall into the waters of the lake, then you’ll die without question”
“I’ to use the illusions here to teh; if I can strengthen e in the future” Daolord Laya had a resolute look in his eyes He was preparing for the Daoe No matter what, he was determined to embark on this path
“Illusions?” Ninedust blinked
