“Lao Yuan, give it a try!” the big black cat shouted immediately.
Lao Yuan quickly raised his paw and thrust it out. With a loud boom, the lightning surged below, and Lao Yuan let out a muffled groan as his claws shattered, turning into a blood-red mist that was so fast it left no time for reaction.
“There’s an incredibly strong thunder force down there; I can’t move at all,” Lao Yuan said in shock, his face pale. He was already injured from that previous strike.
“Qin Chen, you practice the Thunder Law, so you should come.” The big black cat looked at Qin Chen again.
“Why should I? Why don’t you do it yourself?” Qin Chen was filled with black lines on his forehead. This big black cat was too unreliable! Since even Lao Yuan was injured, if he took action and couldn’t defend in time, he would probably be reduced to ashes in an instant.
“Don’t you have the Thunder Bloodline? With your understanding of the Thunder Law, it should be fine,” the big black cat urged.
Qin Chen was speechless, but he was indeed quite curious about this place filled with thunder. Furthermore, within the thunder below, there seemed to be not only the power of thunder but also a special spatial aura and an inexplicable holy crystal aura, filling Qin Chen with curiosity.
“Go!” Qin Chen summoned the Half Yue Ancient Sword and slashed downwards.
“Boom!”
The sword light surged, trailing arcs of lightning. However, because Qin Chen had integrated the thunderous power into the sword light, the sword actually pierced into the thunder below, without being instantly blown apart like Lao Yuan.
A dull roar sounded as the sword light entered the thunder but did not continue downward; instead, it struck an unseen obstruction.
Buzz!
As the lightning dissipated, a massive pillar of light suddenly appeared in the void where the sea of thunder was, and within this pillar of light was an enormous spatial seal. Surrounding this spatial seal were numerous holy crystals densely arranged, precisely the holy crystal array that Qin Chen and the others had seen outside the spatial seal.
“So the holy crystals we saw before were all real,” Qin Chen gasped. He had always thought that the holy crystals visible outside the spatial seal were merely illusions created by the Lord of the Abyss Demon or the Lord of the Sky Demon to attract attention, but at this moment, Qin Chen finally understood that the holy crystals they saw were indeed real, just projections of this place.
How many holy crystals could there be? Qin Chen’s heart trembled as he glanced around, seeing countless holy crystals radiating a hazy glow. If he could obtain these holy crystals, to what extent would his cultivation rise?
Although Qin Chen knew that simply absorbing holy crystals wouldn’t allow him to cross into the Holy Realm, with these holy crystals, he would certainly be able to break through to the Half Saint realm in a very short time, even surpassing Shangguan Xi'er’s cultivation. At that time, as long as no Holy Realm masters appeared, he would be the number one in the Tianwu Continent.
Meanwhile, the big black cat did not fixate on the holy crystals but stared intently at a hazy light cluster in the center of a row of holy crystals, its expression strange, filled with confusion, as if it couldn't understand.
“What’s wrong with the big black cat?” Qin Chen was taken aback. Given the big black cat's greedy nature, seeing so many holy crystals shouldn't make it so calm. Or did that light cluster have some peculiar aspect?
Qin Chen then focused all his attention on the light cluster in the center of the holy crystals. Upon closer inspection, Qin Chen finally noticed something odd. The light cluster emanated a spatial aura, forming a terrifying seal that formed an extremely complete entity with these holy crystals.
This was definitely a top-tier treasure.
For some reason, upon seeing this light cluster, Qin Chen felt that his Qiankun Creation Jade Plate was emitting an overwhelming desire, as if it had encountered something exciting.
