Chapter 992

An unimaginable force sent Zi Chen flying. A hole appeared in the Nine Extremes Array, and a huge pressure came in through the hole, wreaking havoc on Zi Chen.

"Puff."

Zi Chen coughed out blood as he flew back dozens of meters. A sword stele fell in the distance, and the other eight sword steles joined together to form a defense for Zi Chen.

"What is that?" Zi Chen stood up, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, his face full of surprise.

He had encountered an attack, but he didn't know what it was.

After standing up, Zi Chen formed another seal, and another sword stele flew out and returned to its place. The nine sword steles merged into one again. The attack just now wasn't scary. Zi Chen was in such a sorry state because he was too careless. He was focused on the pressure, and didn't think of an external attack.

After pondering for a moment, he decided to go forward again.

The nine sword steles formed a defense, constantly revolving around Zi Chen. Zi Chen went forward again, and when he reached the edge of the Nine Extremes Array, he raised his vigilance and stepped in.

As soon as he stepped in, before Zi Chen could see what was around him, the strong force appeared again. The defense formed by the sword steles only trembled slightly, and the force fell on Zi Chen, and then attacked Zi Chen.

Zi Chen still didn't see anything clearly, and his whole body flew out. However, because he was fully prepared this time, he wasn't in such a sorry state. In the process of flying back, he was still able to control the sword steles to block the thunder and lightning.

This time, Zi Chen retreated more than ten meters with the sword steles. His expression was even more uncertain. After being attacked twice, he actually didn't see what was attacking him.

However, he wasn't injured this time, so Zi Chen wasn't afraid. Instead, he was curious.

Just as he was about to enter for the third time, a cold and old voice came from the Nine Extremes Array, "Scram. If you dare to come forward again, die."

The voice was old and cold, and filled with endless killing intent, causing Zi Chen's face to change again.

"Why is there someone here?"

This was Zi Chen's first reaction. Then, Zi Chen guessed that this should be the place where some expert went into seclusion.

But who would be in seclusion here?

Furthermore, there were many resources placed outside.

Zi Chen's face was full of confusion. His expression kept changing, but he didn't take another step forward.

In the Ninth Grade Thunder Dominion, the old voice did not appear.

Zi Chen stood there in a daze for a full fifteen minutes. During that time, his expression flickered with various emotions. In the end, he made up his mind to continue onward. He hesitated for a moment before taking two steps forward.

"This old man will warn you one more time. If you dare to step forward again, you will die." The old voice sounded again.

But Zi Chen didn't care at all. His steps were firm and steady, one step at a time until he reached the edge of the ninth grade Thunder Territory.

"You little brat, how dare you not put me in your eyes? Just wait for me, Thunder Freer's anger."

During this time, the old voice sounded out once more. It seemed that the existence within the ninth grade Thunder Dominion was already flustered and exasperated.

The old man didn't immediately launch an attack. Zi Chen concluded that there should be some sort of situation that caused him to only be able to attack at the ninth grade. But, whether or not it was as the old man said, that he was strong enough to easily kill him, that still required Zi Chen to personally verify it.

However, the old man's first two silent attacks were clearly sneak attacks. The first time, he had nearly killed him. The old man was an old man, and if he was willing to do such a dishonorable sneak attack, then his true strength couldn't be as great as he claimed. Or perhaps he was an injured person and was currently recuperating.

But, there was also the possibility that the old man was strong enough to kill Zi Chen in a single strike.

There were all sorts of guesses, but all of them required Zi Chen to personally experience.

Standing outside the ninth grade Thunder Territory, the old man's threatening words were still ringing in his ears. The lightning mark between Zi Chen's eyebrows emitted an even brighter light, forming an even more dazzling light shield. At the same time, Zi Chen pushed the Nine Extremes Array to its limit. The nine sword steles continuously emitted sword cries and released sword qi. They were like nine rays of light that revolved around Zi Chen.

Before entering this time, Zi Chen had made 675% of his preparations. After he stepped in, his eyes were glued to the front.

A power that could topple mountains and overturn seas appeared once more, sweeping towards Zi Chen. But this time, not only did Zi Chen open his eyes wide, but he also spread out his spiritual sense. He wanted to see just what was attacking him.

The first thing Zi Chen saw was a flash of light. It was a flash of lightning that was extremely dazzling. This flash of lightning was like flowing water, striking towards Zi Chen. However, it landed on the nine sword steles first.

The nine sword steles were currently spinning rapidly. As they spun, they were also dispelling this huge force. The lightning and flowing water were forcibly dispersed, and the strong force was neutralized. However, there was still a force that passed through the sword steles and rushed towards Zi Chen.

But this time, when the strong force landed on Zi Chen, it turned into a pushing force, pushing Zi Chen towards someone in front of him.

Under this pushing force, Zi Chen retreated and left the ninth grade array. At this moment, his eyes were wide open, and his expression was one of shock.

He finally saw what it was that had attacked him. However, when he saw what it was, his expression was filled with disbelief.

"It's lightning liquid, lightning liquid essence." Zi Chen murmured, as if he was moaning.

The lightning and flowing water that attacked him just now was lightning liquid essence gathered together. Every drop of this thing was worth a lot, but it had actually gathered into flowing water here.

How extravagant was this?

Just as Zi Chen was in shock, the old voice sounded again, "This is a lesson for you. If you dare to step forward again, you will die."

Zi Chen completely ignored the voice. His mind was filled with thoughts of how much lightning liquid essence was there. One thousand, definitely more than that. Ten thousand, most likely more than that.

Zi Chen's mind was once again shaken. One hundred thousand.

Without personally counting, no one could be sure.

Putting aside what was in the ninth grade lightning domain, just the lightning liquid alone was enough for Zi Chen to risk his life for. Even if one hundred drops of lightning liquid essence were enough to nurture a Xiantian warrior, a conservative estimate would be that there were thirty thousand drops of lightning liquid essence. That was three hundred Xiantian warriors.

Just the lightning liquid alone was enough to nurture three hundred Xiantian warriors. In addition to the Mortal Restoration Pellets refined by the Cauldron Spirit, the Everlasting Sect would have three hundred Xiantian warriors in the Mortal Origin Realm within a few years.

"Let's do it." Zi Chen's eyes flickered. He was even more tempted.

This time, he wasn't injured and didn't need to adjust. He once again stepped forward.

After entering the ninth grade lightning domain, the lightning liquid reappeared and struck at Zi Chen like a wave. Seeing the lightning, the corner of Zi Chen's mouth twitched. How extravagant!

The rapidly spinning sword stele blocked more than eighty percent of the energy. The remaining twenty percent entered Zi Chen's body and was dispersed by the energy tide formed by the Perfect Body.

The lightning liquid no longer had the slightest bit of energy and turned back into liquid. However, it returned. Zi Chen's original goal was to get it. Naturally, he couldn't let it escape.

He took out the Purple Gold Gourd and pointed the mouth of the gourd at the liquid. An illusory radiance passed through the sword stele and landed on the liquid.

Following Zi Chen's command, the lightning liquid was enveloped by the illusory radiance. In the next moment, all of it was retrieved. Not a single drop was wasted.

This time, he had collected more than ten thousand drops of lightning liquid essence. A smile appeared on Zi Chen's face.

"Forget it, forget it. Since a junior like you is here for this external object, I'll give it to you."

The aged voice sounded again. Then, Zi Chen saw a large amount of lightning appear in front of him. It was more lightning liquid essence rushing towards him.

However, the lightning liquid essence carried unparalleled power. The old fellow was definitely not as good as he claimed. This power was extremely powerful. Ordinary people couldn't withstand it.

"Nine Extremes, Swift, Turn."

Zi Chen wasn't blinded by greed. When he saw the lightning liquid essence, he formed seals even faster. Golden energy passed through Zi Chen's fingers and landed on the sword stele.

Hum.

On the Sword Stele, a continuous sword hum began to resound. Then, one after another, Sword Qi rushed out. These Sword Qi were extremely sharp. They were like divine weapons that slashed towards the lightning liquid in front of them.

The energy clashed in the lightning field. Sword beams rushed out from the sword stele one after another. However, it was as if they had hit an iron wall. Clanging sounds rang out.

In the blink of an eye, dozens of sword beams slashed out. These sword beams were enough to kill a Human Origin Realm cultivator, but they only cut off some of the lightning liquid essence. The lightning liquid's sturdiness was beyond Zi Chen's imagination. A trace of surprise immediately appeared on his face.

"Nine Extremes, Eight Extremes, Open."

Zi Chen shouted. His hands formed seals again. Suddenly, one of the nine rotating sword steles left. The other eight formed a defense again. Zi Chen attached his spiritual sense to the ninth sword stele. Then, he used his spiritual sense to control the sword stele and hit the lightning liquid.

"Boom!"

The sword stele carried a tremendous force. It smashed into the lightning liquid with a loud boom. The lightning liquid's momentum was instantly stopped. The sword stele also shook in the air. Zi Chen shouted again, "Attack again."

The sword stele suddenly expanded like a towering stone wall. It carried an even more powerful aura and smashed into the lightning liquid.

The sword stele hit the lightning liquid again and again. In this collision, not only was the lightning liquid unable to move forward, but its sturdy form was also slowly dispersed.

During this time, the lightning liquid also increased its strength a few times. However, it was all smashed back by the huge and powerful sword stele.

At this moment, the sharp sword beams lost their effect. The sword stele's impact played a decisive role.

After smashing dozens of times, Zi Chen felt a sense of exhaustion and exhaustion. Finally, he smashed open the lightning liquid.

With a splash, the liquid lightning dispersed and scattered on the ground like sparkling and translucent pearls.

Because of this, a strange cry rang out from the depths of the level-nine world.

Without waiting for the lightning liquid essence to reform, Zi Chen picked up the Purple Gold Gourd and began to collect it. Under the illusory light, half of the lightning liquid essence was collected by Zi Chen. However, the other half still managed to escape.

After collecting the lightning liquid essence, the nine sword steles returned to their original positions. Zi Chen stepped forward again. This time, Zi Chen didn't encounter any attacks from the lightning liquid. Even the old voice from before had disappeared.

Zi Chen smoothly reached the center of the level-nine Thunder Territory. This was indeed the end.
