Chapter 636: The Thunder Sea
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
Yes, it was really shattered into tiny bits!
Administrator Zhang had lived for hundreds of thousands of years and never seen such a fierce fellow.
Even the Demonic Immortals who were known for their strength in the Sea Area; even the Prime Ministers who were Human Immortals in the Office of Political Affairs, had never behaved so fiercely as Zhou Bao did.
He was too ferocious.
Without telling right from wrong, he had smashed a living Half-human Immortal into a mass of meat. The latter hadn’t even had a chance to fight back. His spirit and the world he had created had all been smashed to pieces. There was nothing left, just a mass of mangled flesh and blood, to show that he was once a living creature in this world. This sent a chill through Administrator Zhang.
Looking at the small green hammers stained with blood and minced flesh in his hands, Administrator Zhang gulped down a mouthful of saliva. He did not dare to complain about anything. He only murmured, “You have broken his World Law!”
“He was way too strong. Besides, I don’t know what trump card he might have had. No way I was going to show him mercy. As for the World Law; it was just a broken world, it’s of little use!” Evidently, Administrator Zhang could not conceal his murmur from Zhou Bao. The latter added gently, “Did you say that he is a Thunder God?”
“Yes, Thunder God. According to legend, the Thunder Emperor governed 300,000 Thunder Gods. They were in charge of the thunderbolts of the heavens and the earth, and even Thunder Tribulations. Even the one with the lowest cultivation was a Human Immortal. I guess he is one of them!”
“300,000 Thunder Gods and even the lowest is a Human Immortal!” Zhou Bao blinked, and his expression became strange. “Isn’t the Thunder Emperor’s strength and influence extremely powerful?”
“You’re right. Among the 99 Emperors in antiquity times, he was second only to the Jade Emperor. Of course, his strength is extraordinary!”
“It’s no use talking about these things now. Let’s see what’s ahead of us!” Zhou Bao said.
Now that the Thunder God had been crushed to death, the light area that he had been blocking appeared in front of them. Apparently, it was an exit. They rushed out one after the other.
As soon as they exited, they both gulped at the same time. Bursts of pneuma full of thunderbolts pervaded this place. Administrator Zhang even let out a strange cry. He shook his body and a cloud of blue mist formed around him, lifting him up.
Zhou Bao could easily see that he was trembling with fear; sweat was dripping from his face like rain.
Zhou Bao’s heart was throbbing with excitement. There was water at the end of this channel, at the exit.
A sea!
It was a vast sea. However, this was no ordinary sea, it was a sea composed entirely of Heavenly Thunder. Endless thunderbolts intertwined together and turned into liquid. It surged with torrential waves and flashed with mystic but dazzling light.
Thunderbolts surged and flashed. Bursts of crackling sounds came out like the roar of waves, resounding in their ears.
There were mysterious red cloud clusters above the Thunder Sea with red electric snakes slithering mystically. Every now and then, several electric snakes would fall from the sky. Unlike what was going on at the square in front of the hall, though, thunderbolts still fell from the sky frequently. From time to time, a thunderbolt would fall over the Thunder Sea. Maybe one day, a flash of lightning would fall from the cloud over their heads and kill them.
“It’s the Six Directions Red Thunder. The Six Directions Red Thunder is in the red cloud!”
Administrator Zhang was a Lord of Heaven who had undergone six Thunder Tribulations. He knew well what the red lightning falling from the sky represented.
“The Six Directions Red Thunder? If that’s the case, shouldn’t the legendary Pool of Thunder Tribulation be located right below it?”
“No, it’s not the Pool of Thunder Tribulation; just a Thunder Sea formed from endless thunderbolts from Thunder Tribulation Heaven by the Thunder Emperor!” Administrator Zhang said helplessly, taking a deep breath.
“A Thunder Sea?” Zhou Bao narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at Administrator Zhang. “It seems that Administrator Zhang knows quite a bit about the Thunder Emperor!”
“I am far from knowing him; this was just common knowledge in antiquity times. Although I was just a small demon who failed to transform my shape at the time, I still knew some of the legends about him.” Administrator Zhang continued in a faint voice, “These pieces of information were common knowledge in antiquity times, however, together with some rumors, they have become secrets in the present world. I’m afraid that there aren’t many people who know things like this except those who have lived as long as me!”
“Tell me please. Help me broaden my horizons!”
“The Thunder Emperor took charge of the Thunder Tribulation Heaven. In fact, the Thunder Tribulation Heaven evolved from the Original Thunder in the void in primitive times. Some of the Original Thunder evolved into the Thunder Tribulation Heaven and the rest of it evolved into the Chaotic Thunder. The Chaotic Thunder continued to evolve and finally merged into the Way of Heaven, becoming the source of all Thunder Tribulations between heaven and earth. In other words, the so-called Thunder Tribulation Heaven and Void Thunder Tribulation were actually like siblings. It was because of this that the Thunder Emperor, who controlled the Thunder Tribulation Heaven, could affect the function and effect of the Void Thunder Tribulation on a great scale. Furthermore, he was able to execute the Thunder Tribulation on behalf of the heaven. Due to this, the Ancient Celestial Court has established its ruling authority over other realms and it was also the premise that the latter submitted to the Heaven Realm. However, although the Thunder Emperor was mighty and invincible, the other realms covered an area so vast that numerous people were undergoing tribulations every day in these worlds, big and small. Thus, the Thunder Emperor was too busy to care about all of them even if he was extraordinary. Even if he could, he would not really immerse himself in such things. After all, he still had to practice. So, he governed 300,000 Thunder Gods. In order to enable them to control the Thunder Tribulation, he refined several unique Highest Heaven Celestial Devices which later turned out to be the Thunder Emperor’s touring abodes. According to legend, every abode had the power to guide thunderbolts in the Thunder Tribulation Heaven. These thunderbolts formed Thunder Seas in the abodes. Thunder Gods, however, controlled the seas and abodes so they could walk in different realms and execute Thunder Tribulations. The seas could not only breed ordinary Heavenly Thunder, they could also breed the Six Directions Red Thunder, Seven Evils Cyan Thunder, Eight Trigrams Golden Thunder, and Nine Heavens Purple Thunder. Look, there in the sky is the Six Directions Red Thunder. And the Seven Evils Cyan Thunder Pillar is outside the abode. Perhaps this abode was used by the Thunder Emperor to strike the Six-tribulation or Seven-tribulation Ghost Immortals in those days!”
“Damn it. There are such things in this world. My horizons have really been broadened today!” Zhou Bao was left speechless with wonder. He hadn’t expected that this boundless Thunder Sea was not the Pool of Thunder Tribulation.
“Well, where is the Pool of Thunder Tribulation located then?” Zhou Bao asked curiously.
“Not every abode had a Pool of Thunder Tribulation!” Administrator Zhang shook his head with a wry smile. “Legend has it that only the most powerful abode, the one that breeds the Nine Heavens Purple Thunder possesses such a pool!”
“What do you mean? Only the abode that breeds the Nine Heavens Purple Thunder has the Pool! There are only the Six Directions Red Thunder and Seven Evils Cyan Thunder here, does this mean there are no such pools?”
“Not necessarily. The abodes that breed the Nine Heavens Purple Thunder will definitely have them, but other abodes might too!” He glanced at Zhou Bao. “There are a total of 18 legendary pools, but only nine abodes breed the Nine Heavens Purple Thunder!”
“That is to say, there are another nine pools in other abodes. How can we find them?”
“The pool is generally located in the depths of the Thunder Sea!”
“F*ck!”
Zhou Bao couldn’t help cursing. “The pool is at the bottom of the Thunder Sea! Are you kidding me?”
He was certain that with his physical strength, he was able to withstand a few Heavenly Thunderbolts. Nevertheless, he lacked the courage to go deep into this horrifying Thunder Sea.
Even if he took out a fairy weapon to protect himself, he might not be able to bear the attacks of the thunderous water all over the ground!
“If you had told me earlier that we have to go deep into the Thunder Sea to acquire the pool, I would not have come here!” Zhou Bao looked quite depressed.
“Well, there is another way to obtain it!” Administrator Zhang felt awkward. “It’s impossible to go down to the depths of the Thunder Sea. Even if one has a fairy weapon to protect himself, he will only hit a dead end. However, if one can activate the pool outside the Thunder Sea, it’s possible to get the pool out!”
“Activate the pool? How?”
“The Thunder Sea possesses intelligence. If it is attacked, it will fight back and create torrential waves. The surging waves will trigger the reaction of the pool in the depths of the sea. Once that happens, one can take measures to obtain it!”
“Trigger the reaction of the pool? How?”
“I’m not sure. I’m just telling you the rumors from the medieval period. The Thunder Emperor’s touring abode appeared during that time and this matter made a great clamor. However, in the end, no one can truly obtain the pool!”
“Does that mean this legend is unreliable?” Zhou Bao rolled his eyes. “Does anyone else know about this?”
“Some old guys in the Sea Area do. Besides, there should be a record of it in the super large sects, like the Divine Wind Palace, in the Seven-deity Regions!”
“The fact remains that I came here courting death to obtain an unavailable treasure!” Zhou Bao laughed bitterly. If he could be sure that there was a Pool of Thunder Tribulation under the Thunder Sea, he wouldn’t mind striking it with his Supreme Fairy Weapon. However, what if there was no such a pool? The appearance of his Supreme Fairy Weapon would inevitably lead to a chain reaction and even attract the attention of the Sea Emperor.
He was well aware of the strength of the whole Sea Area. The Sea Emperor was getting more and more enigmatic. If the Sea Emperor saw him and forced him to stay here, even with a Supreme Fairy Weapon, he still had to think twice about the consequences.
He only worried that the Sea Emperor also had a Supreme Fairy Weapon!
