Chapter 222 Heavenly Thunder Crystal Cluster, Alien Thunder Spirit Corpse
I asked myself the question and answered it myself.
Having already seen the spiritual object, it would be an injustice not to take it. Wang Yu's figure, which had just ascended, flew towards the target once again.
The closer you are, the more lightning energy will be floating in the environment.
The blue-white lightning gradually took on a purple tinge.
A moment later.
A purple halo came into view. In this dark and boundless underground pit, a cluster of purple crystals, resembling crystals, grew in the loose, scorched soil.
Each crystal bears a purple lightning mark, with tiny lightning bolts occasionally generating an electric current sound.
Wang Yu recognized the origin of the item and was slightly surprised.
"—Heavenly Thunder Crystal Cluster!"
Legend has it that when cultivators undergo tribulation, the power of lightning tribulation scatters, and there is an extremely low probability that this treasure will appear on the ground. Not only is it rare, but it is also a perfect material for refining tribulation-crossing treasures.
It starts at the third rank, and if it is born in the tribulation of Nascent Soul or Divine Transformation, its rank will be even higher.
The unique environment of the lightning crater often attracts lightning bolts from nature, which accumulate over time in the rocks and soil, eventually forming a terrifying storm.
In a place like this, a treasure trove for cultivators with lightning attributes, there should be many spiritual creatures growing. This cluster of heavenly lightning crystals is only at the third level, so it must have been formed naturally.
Wang Yu stepped forward, withstood the purple lightning emitted by the spirit creature, and easily removed it, storing it in a jade box for safekeeping. He then went to Tianbao Pavilion to buy some equipment.
The treasure for overcoming tribulation can then be crafted.
Logically speaking, if he were preparing to break through to the Core Formation stage, he should apply to the sect. The sect would provide him with a third-tier spiritual vein cave, an array to disperse the power of the lightning tribulation, treasures to avoid the tribulation, and so on.
It might seem unnecessary to forge such a magical artifact, but that's not actually the case.
Wang Yu actually wanted to break through in Guiling City.
When he was at the mountain gate, he deliberately said that he had used the Foundation Seizing Technique to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, just so he wouldn't attract too much attention. Thinking about it carefully, he was only thirty-seven years old when he established his foundation, which is almost the end of his life.
Even now, he is only sixty-three years old.
Compared to ordinary cultivators who reach the Foundation Establishment stage at a hundred years old, and geniuses who reach it at fifty, this is quite conspicuous. Even the Burning Life Demon Art cannot cover it up; the only explanation is the Foundation Seizing Technique.
The three families that had already invested in Wang Yu—Zhuo, Yu, and Zuoqiu—were naturally happy to help. With their cover, there was no need to worry about exposure in the short term.
Once he reaches the Core Formation stage and his status rises from Inner Sect Steward to Inner Sect Elder, his learning of the core inheritance of the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect will be a certainty.
Originally, he planned to use the Xuan Yuan Demon Embryo Secret Curse as a reason, which was also what Zhuo Shouqing and the others believed to be the "truth". However, there was another great enemy who practiced this secret curse together - Fu Xiao!
The other party traveled to the Vermilion Bird Mountain in search of an opportunity and has not returned to this day.
What Wang Yu was thinking was...
If the other party returns, he will break through in Guiling; if they don't return, he will go to the sect to break through.
In short, you must prepare your own protective treasures to avoid disaster.
The Heavenly Thunder Crystal Cluster is already a top-grade material in this field. Wang Yu enhanced the Taiyin Nether Eye with his true essence and circled around it.
You know what!
He discovered an even greater reaction of pure Yang energy.
He knew when to be greedy; he was always very bold in this regard. Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone to Dongjijing to check for omissions and return with a full load of spoils.
Following the aura of pure Yang, they acted soon after.
"Thunderstone? A second-tier spiritual item, and there are actually five of them. They're not bad as supplementary materials for a treasure to ward off calamity."
"This is... Purple Lightning Melting Gold Liquid! A rare second-tier body-refining spiritual item. There must be at least a hundred drops in this pit. Let's take it."
"Lightning-attracting iron? This is an essential material for setting up the [Heavenly Heart Lightning Dispersing Calamity Avoidance Treasure Array]. It is most suitable to refine it into lightning-attracting array flags, and it can also be disassembled and used in other places."
The deeper Wang Yu went into the center, the more spiritual objects he found. Although he didn't get anything of the level of Heavenly Thunder Crystal Cluster, he still reaped a considerable harvest.
As the saying goes, misfortune may be a blessing in disguise, and a blessing may be a misfortune in disguise!
Being forced to hide in the lightning pit was a misfortune, but using the lightning energy to refine one's body and break through to the late stage of the second tier was a blessing, and now finding so many lightning-related spiritual objects is also a blessing.
According to the theory of duality... Wang Yu couldn't help but swallow.
In the vision of the Yin Eyes, there was one last place where the Yang energy was exceptionally abundant, which looked like a round watermelon lying on the ground from a distance.
"The last one, get the last spiritual item and then leave."
After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.
Wang Yu frowned as he looked at the dark, round stone. The intense yang energy was undeniable; this was the very thing he had just seen, yet, unusually, he hadn't been able to identify its type.
When he reached out to move it, he couldn't lift it at all, which surprised him.
"What kind of treasure is this? I can't even lift it with my strength, how could it possibly be connected to a mountain?!"
"Ugh—"
As Wang Yu exerted force through his dragon spine, veins bulged on his arms, forehead, and neck, and faint dragon roars rose and fell, as if he could hear the sound of some kind of rock breaking.
"Drink up!"
Seeing that success was imminent, Wang Yu gritted his teeth and continued to exert all his strength. The ground beneath his feet collapsed, and cracks spread for more than ten meters.
Rumble—
The earth shook violently, and the sudden change, coupled with the burst of violent lightning from the black round stone, forced Wang Yu to let go in fright and jump far away.
What's going on?
Suddenly.
Two flashes of lightning streaked through the darkness. Wang Yu looked closely and saw that the black round stone he had just pulled out had opened its lightning-like eyes.
Wang Yu was stunned: "...So...just now...I pulled out a head?"
"Boom—"
With a loud bang, the earth and rocks shattered, and debris flew everywhere. Endless lightning bolts converged from all directions, illuminating the deep pit with extraordinary brightness.
Wang Yu also truly saw the whole picture.
This was a charred corpse, with many tree-root-like rock roots growing from its legs. Yellowish-brown liquid was still flowing from the broken ends; this must have been what he had just pulled off.
If nothing unexpected happens, this is a naturally formed zombie.
The corpse energy and thunder energy within his body were intertwined and merged, yet there was no yin energy or evil energy, making the situation extremely strange, according to the records of the Yin Sha Corpse Refining Technique.
This thing, without a doubt, is absolutely a naturally occurring mutant.
But the most peculiar one is the Thunder Corpse!
Wang Yu felt a chill run down his spine. Zombies feared nothing more than any yang energy in the world, including thunder, fire, and pure yang power.
Some zombies are not afraid because they have the ability to resist; in essence, they are still restrained, such as Wang Yu's Taiyin Sha Corpse.
This thunder corpse is different; it truly transforms the supremely yang and powerful thunderous energy into its own, not only eliminating its yin corpse form but also possessing thunderous magical abilities.
It also eliminates the instinct to absorb the evil energy of heaven and earth. While the evil energy may be strong, it will prevent zombies from developing intelligence. The reason why the legendary spirit corpses can possess intelligence is because they do not absorb evil energy.
The thunder corpse before us also possesses the characteristics of a spirit corpse.
Among the extremely rare Thunder Corpses, they are also special individuals. If one can cultivate to the point of becoming an immortal, it is not impossible to be reborn from the dead!
Wang Yu was as if he had witnessed a legend, and his shock was unparalleled.
It took me a while to come to my senses.
At this moment, Thunder Corpse seemed to have also come to its senses from its endless slumber. It looked at the broken earth roots under its feet, and its eyes revealed a human-like anger!
Zombies, also known as children of the earth, can draw power from the earth's energy. Their arrangement was clearly disrupted by Wang Yu's accidental attack, which was a targeted act of malice.
"Tear—"
A flash of lightning disappeared in an instant, and the Thunder Spirit Corpse suddenly appeared in front of Wang Yu, its claws crackling with purple lightning reaching for his chest. Wang Yu quickly leaned back.
As he braced himself with his right hand, he delivered a sweeping kick.
With his brute strength far exceeding that of his peers, he was unable to budge Lei Lingshi even slightly, as if kicking a block of iron.
"Mid-stage Tier 3?!"
Wang Yu was speechless; he couldn't kick it, he simply couldn't kick it.
Seeing Lei Lingshi retract his hands and suddenly thrust them towards him, Wang Yu's body seeped into the earth like water—it was the Purple Dragon Earthwalking Technique. Now was the time to run!
As soon as he burrowed underground, Wang Yu was horrified to discover that the Thunder Spirit Corpse had also burrowed underground to catch up, and its speed was much faster than his, taking only two breaths.
His left leg was grabbed, and he was thrown out of the ground, disoriented, his body shattering rocks and soil along the way.
From the ground, it appeared as if the ground had suddenly exploded, and Wang Yu was sent flying backwards, with the Thunder Spirit Corpse, its body crackling with purple lightning, swiftly giving chase.
He opened his mouth and let out a roar.
"hold head high---"
A beam of lightning shot out from the corpse's mouth, a method of use that made Wang Yu's eyelids twitch.
Frost Moon Wings unfolded behind him, shifting his direction as much as possible. Third-tier Ice Dragon Flame surged from his sleeves, controlled by Flame Form Technique, transforming into two ice pythons that coiled towards the lightning pillar.
Thunder is inherently extremely fast, and coupled with overwhelming cultivation, it is a force to be reckoned with.
Wang Yu couldn't dodge at all. The collision between the Ice Dragon Flame and the Lightning Pillar only lasted for a moment before being blasted apart. It wasn't that the Ice Dragon Flame was weak, but rather that his cultivation and magic were holding him back.
Half of his body was struck by the lightning bolt, and he immediately lost consciousness.
"Who exactly spread the saying that fortune favors the bold?!"
He cursed inwardly.
Wang Yu quickly released the Taiyin Sha Corpse from the coffin magic treasure. The moment the Lei Ling Corpse pounced, the two collided and immediately rolled into a ball.
With difficulty, Wang Yu took out the Ghost Cry Flute, and the Glazed Soul Lamp hovered behind his head, emitting gray soul flames.
Logically speaking, zombies should have a certain degree of immunity to the power of the soul, but the Thunder Spirit Corpse is different; it has clearly developed a certain level of intelligence.
This means it possesses a clear soul, rather than a chaotic consciousness that only knows bloodlust and killing. Given its weak, nascent intelligence, he felt this would be the Thunder Spirit Corpse's weakness.
"Woo~"
A sharp, distinctive flute melody rang out, and Lei Lingshi's movements visibly paused. Although he was not completely controlled by the mind-controlling demonic sound, he was indeed affected.
At this moment, the Yin Corpse seized the opportunity to use its innate supernatural power, the Yin Corpse Curse of Destruction!
Cursed and bound, the Thunder Spirit Corpse roared with its head raised.
It unexpectedly unleashed an ability similar to a thunderstorm field, with thick bolts of lightning shooting out from its body, forming a dense electric net that struck the Taiyin Sha Corpse, causing it to wail in agony.
Much of the corpse energy around him had dissipated, and he was seriously injured!
This thunderstorm lasted for a full ten breaths, completely driving away the evil curse of the Yin Corpse. Only then did the Thunder Spirit Corpse return to normal and continue to pounce on Wang Yu.
Wang Yu was paralyzed and unable to move, so he could only summon Xue Yu to carry him and fly away.
