Chapter 197 – Lei Sect’s Forbidden Grounds (2/2)

Performing a perfect rotation while in midair, Lei Yu single handedly grabbed onto a protruding rock on the cliff face and stopped falling. Using a bit of strength, his body now flew upwards and into the mouth of the strange cave.

Even with Lei Yu’s amazing eyesight, it still wasn’t enough to see down the dark cave due to it having too many curved paths. Thus, Lei Yu couldn’t tell what the conditions were like inside.

At this time, Lei Yu noticed a stone tablet erected by the cave entrance. In the middle of the stone tablet were four words: “Lei Sect’s Forbidden Grounds.” It could be due to the passage of time, but there seemed to be something else below those four words that Lei Yu couldn’t make out.

How come he never noticed this the first time he fell down? Because of his curiosity, Lei Yu carefully went inside to take a look.

A powerful energy became more obvious as Lei Yu continued in. And after a few turns, the path became narrower. Lei Yu could only duck his head in order to keep going further down the path. After making the last turn, a scene that shocked Lei Yu appeared. Piles of bones were piled densely on the ground which Lei Yu estimated there were at least over a hundred sets. Looking down further, a slight flash came right at Lei Yu that made him hurriedly dodge sideways. Even though he didn’t know what it was, he heard “hissing” noises the instant the flash of light passed him. The aura of the light somehow seemed familiar to him as well, making Lei Yu even more curious now.

Walking forward again and passing several caverns, a stone door appeared. Lei Yu finally understood why these people died here. In the center of the stone door was a circular opening. Inside the opening, a densely lit grid of lightning was buzzing that contained a power no less than what he currently possessed.

From time to time, a stream of lightning would come out. Lei Yu originally wanted to avoid it but the speed of it was just too fast. One must know that if Lei Yu threw out a lightning attack, there’s no way his physical body would be able to catch up to it. Not to mention he wasn’t wearing the Ares Boots right now.

When the lightning struck Lei Yu, he only felt his whole body shuddering and an indescribable comfort. It appears that Lei Yu was immune to these lightning attacks which had no negative effects to him whatsoever. When that lightning energy entered his body, Lei Yu could feel his own internal energy surround it and start devouring it like mad. Even though the lightning that entered Lei Yu was so tiny that he couldn’t even come up with a number for it, he could still determine the energy was very pure. His own energy really liked this foreign force, so it was acting like a starved wolf running through his meridians looking for more. After running a full cycle through his body, his internal energy would return to his Sea of Energy and settle down after finding nothing.

“What… what is going on here?” Lei Yu blinked, wondering where the source of these lightning was from. Peering into the hole that was filled with arcs and flashes, one simply couldn’t see inside except for the dense strands of lightning.

At this time, another stream of lightning rushed out from the hole and Lei Yu didn’t bother dodging. Since his internal energy like this thing, he might as well let it happily absorb it.

Sure enough, once the foreign lightning entered his body, his internal energy went crazy again. This time, even the green energy in his chest seemed to be unable to sit still and rushed out seemingly wanting to snatch it. But it seems that the green energy was still too weak and wasn’t the opponent of his internal energy. It could only return with nothing.

Waiting until his internal energy settled down, Lei Yu took a few steps forward hoping to figure out this place. But the path forward was getting narrower and the ceiling was becoming lower. Lei Yu looked all around as he was moving forward and apart from seeing scattered piles of bones and pieces of weapons, there was nothing else here.

“Boom!”

“Crack!”
