These violent bolts of lightning, like giant silver pythons, charged at Qin Yi madly as if they had slled blood.
"Is this all?" Qin Yi pursed his lips tightly, his aura rapidly escalating. His skin shimred with a faint purple light, making him look like a giant of purple crystal.
Lightning struck his body, unable to halt Qin Yi's steps.
He stepped forward two ters, now rely three ters away from the Thunder Tree, yet the Thunder Power grew even more domineering.
"Boom!"
When he reached the Thunder Tree, the lightning was no longer just as thick as a thigh but descended like a ferocious tidal wave.
Qin Yi's upper clothes instantly turned to ashes, revealing a muscular, explosive physique.
A dazzling purple light traveled across his skin as the violent lightning struck him repeatedly, leaving charred black patches—but they quickly returned to normal.
Though Qin Yi wasn't invincible, even his unparalleled flesh couldn't withstand the violent lightning. Each strike left large scars, but his Cultivation Technique's recovery ability was astonishing, allowing him to heal quickly.
Qin Yi clenched his teeth and stepped another two steps, making it exactly one ter.
"Boom!"
The Thunder Pool suddenly beca more violent, seemingly alive, enraged by Qin Yi's provocation. All the thunder gathered, rising more than ten ters high like a sweeping tsunami, directly crashing down on Qin Yi's head.
Qin Yi was instantly subrged, the violent lightning rampaging wildly, its might incredibly shocking. Yun Qinglian, watching from outside, was startled, her heart pounding fast, fists tightly clenched, fingertips piercing her palm without realizing. She kept her eyes fixed tightly on Qin Yi, who was engulfed by the lightning.
After a long ti, the lightning weakened slightly, and Yun Qinglian finally saw Qin Yi.
At this mont, Qin Yi was rolling on the ground, his head hanging low, and one could see purple-red blood flowing from him, only to be instantly vaporized by lightning. His back was not only riddled with large charred patches but also a ss of bloody flesh.
"Qin Yi, co out quickly, you'll die." Yun Qinglian shouted desperately.
Though she couldn't imagine how terrifying the Power of thunder and lightning inside was, even Qin Yi couldn't resist it, proving the Power was exceedingly horrific.
Qin Yi's head was lowered, veins bulging on his forehead, blood tainting his lips. He let out a bitter smile; the Thunder Power just now was too strong. Fortunately, his physicality was robust; otherwise, he might have been torn apart.
He heard Yun Qinglian's cries.
However, with only two steps away from obtaining the Heavenly Thunder Fruit, how could he give up?
"Ah...!"
Qin Yi raised his head and roared furiously, the purple light around him running wild, his blood boiling, his bones and veins bursting with resplendent gold light, his heart pounding robustly like a drum.
He suddenly stood up and strode two steps forward again.
"Boom!"
Throughout the Thunder Zone, the lightning gathered, forming a massive Thunder Ball in the sky, with the surrounding lightning seemingly being drained.
This terrifying Thunder Ball, just a glance at it, made one's Divine Soul tremble.
"Co on! Little master wants that Heavenly Thunder Fruit!" Qin Yi roared.
"Rumble!"
The Thunder Ball crashed down, its fearso power chilling one to the bone.
"Boom!"
The Thunder Ball struck Qin Yi, and the violent lightning exploded. The area within ten ters turned into a Thunder Zone once again.
"Boom boom...!"
The sound waves from the explosion were terrifyingly fearful, causing the entire underground cavern to tremble incessantly, giant rocks falling from the do, leaving huge pits on the ground, the earth shaking.
Yun Qinglian's face turned pale, her body weakening.
She clenched her teeth hard, almost grinding them to pieces, her eyes filled with worry, staring fixedly at Qin Yi's direction.
After a long ti, the lightning slowly spread outwards, revealing Qin Yi's figure.
Yun Qinglian's eyes widened, her breath stopped.
Qin Yi lay motionless on the ground, half of his body embedded in the surface, his entire body charred black, covered with a thick shell that's cracked, blood seeping through.
"Qin Yi, Qin Yi..." Yun Qinglian shouted loudly, her voice trembling.
"Qin Yi, get up quickly, get up!"
However, no matter how Yun Qinglian shouted, Qin Yi remained motionless.
Even the lightning considered Qin Yi dead, ceasing its attack, corralling before gently dissipating.
Yun Qinglian's eyes reddened, large teardrops rolled down her cheeks.
"Qin Yi, Qin Yi... get up, please... get up..."
Yet, Qin Yi seed truly dead, without a single movent.
Yun Qinglian dared not approach; with her Cultivation in the Thunder Zone, she would likely be reduced to ashes instantly, just left sobbing in distress.
Then, unexpectedly, Qin Yi, supposedly dead, suddenly sprang up, like a corpse reviving, moving quickly, leaping with a speed as fast as lightning, reaching out for the Heavenly Thunder Fruit.
Yun Qinglian stood utterly dumbfounded, gaping in disbelief, like a stone sculpture.
Qin Yi's expression carried a hint of madness, mouth stained with blood but laughing wildly, performing Sealing with one hand, as the special thod was necessary for picking the Heavenly Thunder Fruit, lest half its effect be lost. Fortunately, Qin Yi knew this thod.
He successfully picked one Heavenly Thunder Fruit.
Soon, he successfully picked a second.
As Qin Yi approached the Thunder Tree, he realized that the Gathering Thunder Array was no ordinary setup, as the array had a locking function—it would attack any living creature nearing the Thunder Tree. Hence, he sealed his Qi, played dead, and tried to collect the Heavenly Thunder Fruit before the lightning reacted, proving his success.
But when he prepared to pick the third, the lightning around him surged again. Additionally, a deep rumbling sounded from above.
"Whoa!"
The entire cavern suddenly filled completely with silvery white.
Qin Yi looked up, instantly feeling unwell; only to see raging lightning, like a giant python, snaking down from the steel posts on the do, divided by eight steel spikes, forming eight white silver giant pythons crashing toward him.
"Damn."
Qin Yi felt like going insane, never expecting such bad luck, encountering one calamity after another—no need to guess, knowing exterior weather must be thunderous. Only such conditions could spawn lightning.
This was natural lightning, far more formidable than the area's.
Pushed by urgency, Qin Yi still riskily plucked the third Heavenly Thunder Fruit, then crazily sprinted toward the Thunder Zone's periphery.
However, he had just taken a step when surrounding lightning surged back, knocking him against the Thunder Tree. Just then, the lightning descending from the do's lightning rods also struck down.
"Boom!"
The earth shook fiercely; within the Thunder Zone, only raging thunder surged, obscuring Qin Yi's figure completely.
Yun Qinglian was scared speechless, her emotions like riding a roller coaster—initially thinking Qin Yi was dead, only for him to revive, now engulfed by lightning again—her mind blank, forgetful of blinking.
After a long ti, she regained her senses, crying out miserably, shouting: "Qin Yi..."
