Chapter 993

In the center of the Grade Nine Thunder Territory, there was a lightning barrier. At the center of the lightning barrier, there was a dragon head emitting endless power of thunder.

This dragon head was one meter long, majestic and lifelike. Lightning surged around it, and the dragon's eyes were bright and full of spirit, as if it was alive. But Zi Chen could see through the lightning that this was not a real dragon head, but half a stone sculpture.

The stone sculpture's dragon head had its mouth wide open, and there was something inside that was emitting endless lightning.

This was a round ball about the size of two fists, and it was wreaking havoc with thunder.

"Dragon Pearl."

Seeing the round ball, Zi Chen naturally thought of the Dragon Pearl and cried out in surprise.

The dazzling Dragon Pearl completely attracted Zi Chen's gaze. Although he didn't know what use this Dragon Pearl had, since it was a Dragon Pearl, it was naturally extraordinary. Suddenly, Zi Chen felt a sharp cold electricity coming from the Dragon Pearl. This cold electricity fell on Zi Chen's body, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.

The dragon head seemed to be alive, but it wasn't. Where was the old man who spoke just now?

Just as Zi Chen was puzzled, his left and right eyes emitted light. Zi Chen activated his Yin Yang Eyes, and a strange power passed through the lightning and fell into the Dragon Pearl.

There was indeed something inside the Dragon Pearl. After seeing what it was, Zi Chen almost jumped up. There was a baby inside the Dragon Pearl. The baby was very small, but its facial features were complete. Its large eyes were staring at Zi Chen, its eyes cold and its expression full of resentment.

Seeing the baby open its eyes in the Dragon Pearl, Zi Chen felt a chill in his heart.

The Dragon Pearl was giving birth to a baby. What was that? A Dragon Infant? Moreover, it hadn't even been born yet, but it clearly had thoughts of its own.

Zi Chen was puzzled, but he didn't dare to take the initiative to step forward. A man and a Dragon Infant looked at each other, neither of them speaking.

While Zi Chen was sizing up the Dragon Infant, he was also looking around out of the corner of his eye. Although there was Thunder Liquid Essence in this Grade 4 Thunder Territory, there wasn't much of it. It wasn't even Grade 3.

Regarding this, Zi Chen was slightly disappointed. However, just as his gaze fell below the dragon's head, his body trembled as if he had been struck by lightning.

Below the dragon's mouth, a pool of water had formed. This pool of water was the lightning barrier. At this moment, the pool was one meter deep and about twenty cubic meters in size. The pool of water flashed with resplendent lightning, and the lightning was the light of the lightning liquid essence.

Zi Chen was extremely shocked to see a pool of lightning liquid essence. However, what shocked him even more was that a drop of liquid dripped down from the dragon's mouth and landed in the pool, creating layers of ripples.

"The essence of this lightning liquid is actually dripping from a dragon's mouth. This is dragon saliva." Zi Chen was completely shocked.

Zi Chen's expression fluctuated, and his gaze naturally left the Dragon Infant. Looking at the lightning essence, he was extremely excited. Suddenly, a cold voice sounded, "Junior, if you leave now, I, Thunder Freer, can still spare your life. If you don't retreat, today will be the day you die."

This voice was still the old voice from before, but Zi Chen didn't see the old man in the Grade Nine Thunder Territory. His gaze once again fell on the Dragon Infant, and the corner of his mouth curled into a sneer, "Little thing, you're still playing tricks with me."

With that, Zi Chen took out the Purple Gold Gourd and extended it towards the lightning barrier.

From the lightning barrier, ripples of light rippled out, and the Purple Gold Gourd was blocked. The lightning barrier was a layer of defense that blocked Zi Chen.

During this time, the Dragon Infant had been looking at Zi Chen expressionlessly.

Zi Chen was unwilling to give up. He used his spiritual sense to control the sword stele and attacked the lightning barrier.

Streaks of sword qi shot out from the sword stele, carrying with them awe-inspiring sword intent, and landed on the lightning barrier. When the sword qi hit the lightning barrier, the lightning barrier trembled continuously, and clanging sounds rang out continuously.

In the blink of an eye, dozens of sword qi dissipated, but there wasn't a trace of damage on the lightning barrier.

"How is this possible?"

The lightning barrier's super defense was really beyond Zi Chen's imagination, but he naturally couldn't give up. He used his spiritual sense again to call the sword stele, and fiercely smashed it towards the lightning barrier again.

"Boom." "Boom."

In the Thunder Territory, there was another explosion as the sword stele smashed onto the lightning barrier with great force.

During this time, Zi Chen's Yin-Yang Eye had been staring at the Dragon Infant. The Dragon Infant's expression didn't change when it saw the sword qi attack the lightning barrier, but when it saw the sword stele smash on it, its expression changed slightly.

In the blink of an eye, Zi Chen controlled the sword stele to smash it dozens of times. The lightning barrier began to shake, but there was no sign of it breaking. Zi Chen's recovered origin force was exhausted again, but it didn't leave any trace on the lightning barrier.

Zi Chen's face was filled with unwillingness. The Dragon Infant's expression relaxed, and its cold voice sounded again. "Junior, it's useless. This lightning barrier was released by this dragon head. It's impossible for external forces to break it."

A cold light flashed in Zi Chen's Yin-Yang Eye. He stared at the Dragon Infant and said, "Little guy, I hate your old and decrepit voice."

The Dragon Infant snorted. "I've been in this world for thousands of years. How can a little guy like you know that? If you trace my real age and identity, I'm afraid even your ancestors can't catch up to me."

Zi Chen's face turned green when he was called a little guy by the palm-sized Dragon Infant. He said angrily, "Little guy, you better not let me in. Otherwise, I'll smack your butt."

"Ignorant junior." The Dragon Infant rolled its small eyes in disdain.

The angry Zi Chen's expression suddenly turned calm. He controlled the sword stele to smash again. This time, the sound was louder, and even the entire lightning region was shaking.

The Dragon Infant sneered. "Junior, it's useless to play tricks in front of me. Don't you just want to recover? I'll give you time to recover. Let's see if you can break this lightning barrier."

Zi Chen didn't say a word and continued to smash. The lightning barrier was shaking, but there was no sign of it breaking.

"Let me give you some good gifts."

Suddenly, the Dragon Infant waved its small hand. A beam of light rushed out from the Dragon Pearl and landed in the lightning liquid pool below.

A large amount of lightning liquid essence suddenly swept up and rushed out of the lightning barrier, sweeping towards Zi Chen. This time, the lightning liquid essence's power was even more terrifying. It was obvious that it wanted to kill Zi Chen in one fell swoop.

Zi Chen's expression didn't change. The sword stele that was smashing instantly returned, forming the Nine Extremes.

The nine sword steles constantly revolved to dissolve the powerful force. When the lightning liquid essence's power was almost dissolved, Zi Chen took out another sword stele and smashed it at the lightning liquid essence.

After smashing it more than ten times, the lightning liquid essence dispersed. Zi Chen took the opportunity to collect it.

This time, because the Dragon Infant was prepared, Zi Chen only managed to collect a third of it. However, he only managed to collect a third of the Dragon Infant's attack. There was still a lot of Thunder Liquid Essence in the entire Thunder Liquid Pool.

"Come, again." With eight sword steles protecting him, Zi Chen provoked the Dragon Infant.

"Junior, you will regret it," the Dragon Infant said coldly.

"I think you are the one who will regret it." Zi Chen sneered and continued smashing.

"It's useless. Even if you smash it for eight to ten years, you won't be able to break it." The Dragon Infant simply closed its eyes. Then, silver light flashed on its body as though it had begun cultivating.

No matter how the outside world roared, it remained unmoved in the Dragon Pearl.

Gradually, the Dragon Infant seemed to have entered a meditative state and no longer moved. However, Zi Chen still didn't give up attacking. The sword stele smashed again and again, but to no avail.

"Even if it was a warrior of the Earth Origin Realm, I could still smash him to death if he stood still. Why can't I break this light shield?" Zi Chen could not understand. He controlled the sword stele to attack again.

Suddenly, a dangerous aura attacked. It was another large wave of lightning liquid essence that charged at Zi Chen.

Zi Chen sneered, "I've been waiting for you."

The nine sword steles returned to their positions again and blocked. After blocking, they smashed again. After smashing, Zi Chen and the Dragon Infant fought again.

The Dragon Infant, who had been cultivating with its eyes closed, opened its eyes. Its eyes were filled with anger as it shouted, "What a cunning junior."

Zi Chen replied, "Little guy, don't take advantage of your seniority in front of me."

The two of them went back and forth, not giving in to each other. At the same time, they schemed against each other. Of course, it was the Dragon Infant who schemed against Zi Chen and attacked Zi Chen. As for Zi Chen, he would at most take some of the lightning liquid essence.

"Little guy, I saw you in the Dragon Pearl. Are you really the Dragon Infant?" Zi Chen asked doubtfully.

"Junior, don't think you can get anything useful from me."

"I'm just asking casually. I can tell you're not the Dragon Infant with a single glance. Also, they all say that the things here fell from the Lightning Divine Palace. I don't think so." Zi Chen curled his lips.

The Dragon Infant sneered and didn't reply.

However, it was worth mentioning that when the Dragon Infant spoke to Zi Chen, it didn't deliberately change its voice. Its original voice was very young, causing Zi Chen to laugh at it for several days.

In the outside world, the Boundless Sect's recruitment of servants was very popular. The mortals were in high spirits, but the cultivator families were all listless. After the incident with the Liu family, no one in the Boundless Sect recruited youths who had already embarked on the path of cultivation.

There was no need to test, and they were directly given a quota. However, the various forces didn't look happy because these disciples would be branded as their own after entering the Boundless Sect. They would never become core disciples, and they would never hold any power in the Boundless Sect.

A month passed quickly. In the Lightning Territory, Zi Chen used the sword stele to attack the lightning barrier countless times, and the Dragon Infant also mocked him countless times.

Knowing that Zi Chen was extremely vigilant, the Dragon Infant no longer tried to attack him, because it would only make the lightning liquid essence less and less.

After a month, Zi Chen knew that his attacks were fruitless, so he simply gave up. He wanted to know something from the Dragon Infant. "Little guy, why can't I break through the lightning barrier, but your lightning liquid essence can enter and leave as it pleases?"

The Dragon Infant sneered and replied, "Not only mine, but yours too. Why don't you try?"

"Really?" Zi Chen's face was full of disbelief. Then, he took out a drop of lightning liquid essence and flicked it at the lightning barrier.

Ripples appeared on the lightning barrier, and the lightning liquid essence flew out. Zi Chen said, "I can't."

The Dragon Infant's mocking expression became even more pronounced. "Junior, you're still trying to play tricks in front of me. Let me tell you, only the lightning liquid essence produced here can come and go as you please."

Zi Chen said, "Lightning liquid essence can, but what about other things? For example, this?"

Zi Chen took out a lightning crystal.

The Dragon Infant looked at the lightning crystal and said coldly, "Don't throw in this trash. Only a junior like you who hasn't seen the world would take something like this."

Zi Chen's eyes lit up. "So you mean that this thing can go in?"

"Of course," the Dragon Infant said.

Zi Chen suddenly stood up, and a powerful aura surged around his body.

"Junior, what are you doing?" The Dragon Infant suddenly had a bad feeling.
