632 Entering the Hole (1/2)
Although the shrieks sounded miserable, no one paid any attention to them. These were not the screams of being at death's door, but a natural reaction of being frightened by the coercion emanated by the nearby Seven Evils Cyan Thunder Pillar.
People whose cultivations had reached the Venerable Realm were not different from ordinary people. For the latter, the former was enigmatic and had a long lifespan and strong strength. Thus, the latter thought that they were simply not creatures of the same kind. However, when facing people with cultivations equal to or even higher than theirs, there was not much difference between their interactions. In the face of unknown fear, their reactions were the same.
With their cultivations, the Venerables were unable to get close to the pillar. And now they'd been thrown into a space only 30 meters away from it. When they felt the terrifying force, their spirits were badly injured, and their first reaction was to scream. How could they care about anything else?
Since the Venerables were all strong Genuine Immortals, they didn't need to take a breath when they screamed. Their screams lasted a long time, longer than it took to drink a cup of tea. These screams suddenly came to a halt and vanished.
Needless to say, nothing had happened to these Venerables. They weren't necessarily hurt. They might even have entered the Thunder Emperor's touring abode, right?
In any case, knowing that nothing happened during that period of time was enough. Among the crowd, several courageous and energetic Lords of Heaven finally took action and jumped into the hole. With a few people taking the lead, naturally, others would follow suit. Almost everyone had jumped down by the second or third round.
There had been dozens of Lords of Heaven in the beginning, but within several seconds, only a dozen people were left, including Zhou Bao, Administrator Zhang, and the four Lords of Heaven from the Seven-deity Regions.
Finally, Yu Taixu couldn't help waiting any longer and winked at Mr. Feng IX. Both of them jumped. The two Lords of Heaven from the Three Western Regions also followed suit.
”We might as well jump too!” Zhou Bao said, looking up at Administrator Zhang. Since this was the case, they were obliged to do so. Zhou Bao had reached a conditional agreement with Administrator Zhang. Therefore, he couldn't let Administrator Zhang die. Furthermore, the Great Vow of the Heart Demon that Administrator Zhang had made was also very clear; he would not prevent Zhou Bao from seizing the Pool of Thunder Tribulation and would do everything he could to help him. However, there was also a precondition; his own life would not be harmed.
If things were dangerous enough to harm his life, he had the right to back off from the action. After all, for these old monsters, nothing in the world was more precious than their own lives. Even the fairy weapons were nothing compared to living.
The danger of the Thunder Emperor's touring abode was far greater than anyone could have imagined. The Seven Evils Cyan Thunder Pillar, an extremely terrifying thing, had appeared when the abode opened. Who knew what kind of treacherous things would exist in the abode? As a matter of fact, the Seven Evils Cyan Thunder Pillar alone was likely to kill Administrator Zhang. Zhou Bao attached no extravagant hope in receiving help from him.
Obviously, Administrator Zhang was also well aware of this. He grinned and as quick as a flash, his fat body disappeared into the hole.
Zhou Bao followed closely behind.
The hole was extremely deep, but it was not dark. The Seven Evils Cyan Thunder Pillar was flashing a misty cyan light that lit up the surroundings. They entered the hole and were even able to see things dozens of meters below clearly. If their eyes moved downward continuously, they would suffer the burning of lightning. No one was willing to bear that feeling.
Once one's cultivation reached Level Seven, he could fly in the sky with the help of the power of Gang Qi. Now, as Administrator Zhang was an Eight-tribulation Lord of Heaven and Zhou Bao was a talented freak, although the Seven Evils Cyan Thunder Pillar not far away was sending out a powerful force, it was very easy for them to control their speed.
They drifted down like two feathers. Their destination was not far anyway.
In the time it took to drink a cup of tea, a few Venerables fell to the bottom of the hole. Hence, the distance between the entrance to the hole and its bottom was a kilometer at most. It didn't take long before they arrived at their destination.
”It is as I expected!” The two of them exchanged glances and revealed tacit expressions.
There was a small Space-time Vortex about 750 meters below the hole. The Thunder Emperor's touring abode might be in it. However, no one could be sure what the consequences would be if they entered it. They could go into the abode directly or be transported to an unknown space-time, wandering in the void forever. Thus, many people gathered around once again, but only a few bold ones had already gone into it. After all, not everyone was as confident about their mastery of the Law of Space like Zhou Bao was.
