Volume 6: The Mighty Starry Sky Chapter 732: Search in vain!
In his rage, although he didn't know which purple-horned thunder dragon had killed Li Xuanfeng, Liu Chen still attacked several purple-horned thunder dragons he met on the way and killed them instantly, as if he was avenging Li Xuanfeng.
Without any warning, a terrifying impact force appeared in front of these purple-horned thunder dragons. They had no power to resist at all. Their bodies were instantly shattered by the terrifying impact force, and they died!
Three hours later, most of the cultivators who had entered the Soul-Destroying Thunder Pool had already walked out, and only a small number of cultivators in the second realm remained at the outermost part of the Soul-Destroying Thunder Pool, carrying out the final hunt for thunder beasts.
They planned to leave after the Soul-Destroying Thunder Pool's weakening period was completely over, so that they might be able to obtain Thunder Crystals.
Although they have entered the Soul-Destroying Thunder Pool for three months, everyone's cultivation has improved to varying degrees, and quite a few have even raised their cultivation to a small level.
But it is precisely because they have felt the improvement in their cultivation brought by Thunder Crystals that they are even more jealous of it. Even though the Soul-Destroying Thunder Pool's weakening period is about to pass, they still have to hunt Thunder Beasts in the periphery to obtain Thunder Crystals.
After leaving the Soul-Destroying Thunder Pool this time, it will take another hundred years before there is a chance to enter again. One can only improve his cultivation slowly through his own perception, and it may be difficult to make any progress even in a hundred years.
For cultivators in the second realm, it is extremely common to have no enlightenment and no progress in cultivation for a hundred years!
If one wants to enter the Soul-Destroying Thunder Pool during its normal period, one would probably need a cultivation level of at least the Tianxuan Realm to have a little ability to protect oneself.
Because during normal periods of the Soul-Destroying Thunder Pool, even in the periphery there are a great number of Earth Profound Realm Thunder Beasts, and it is even very easy to encounter Sky Profound Realm Thunder Beasts!
At this time, the elders of various forces waiting outside the Soul-Destroying Thunder Pool began to count the number of people, calculating how many disciples and elders had been killed in this trip to the Soul-Destroying Thunder Pool.
This is a must-do thing every time after entering the Soul-Destroying Thunder Pool. Although many disciples will be killed in the Soul-Destroying Thunder Pool every time, it is still within the reception range of all forces.
Although the loss of some disciples was a bit of a loss, the disciples who remained were more outstanding, as if they were selecting the better disciples through the process of survival of the fittest within the Soul-Destroying Thunder Pool.
After another hour, some of the cultivators who stayed outside the Soul-Destroying Thunder Pool also flew out one after another, because at this time the power of thunder and lightning outside the Soul-Destroying Thunder Pool had already reached above the second level!
They knew that the Soul-Destroying Thunder Pool's weakening period had completely passed. If they continued to stay there, they might be attacked by powerful and ferocious beasts!
At this time, many elders and disciples of Huadan Sect showed a trace of anxiety in their expressions, because Great Elder Liu Chen had not yet walked out of the Soul-Destroying Thunder Pool!
Liu Chen had already flown a full 100,000 miles within the Soul-Destroying Thunder Pool, but still could not find any trace of Li Xuanfeng.
Because the violent lightning power within the Soul-Destroying Thunder Pool was constantly moving, Liu Chen couldn't even find any remaining breath of Li Xuanfeng.
While moving forward in the Soul-Destroying Thunder Pool, Liu Chen also passed by this mysterious light gate, but seeing that the light gate was still calm, he did not look at it any further.
Liu Chen naturally knew the rumors about this light gate, and he had even come here to try it in the past, but to no avail.
Although his cultivation has reached the third level, he still cannot sense any abnormality in this light gate, let alone sense what is behind the light gate.
Liu Chen also saw two native thunder beasts, a green ox and a white unicorn, working together to successfully kill another thunder beast that had reached the perfect level of the Earth Profound Realm.
None of these attracted much attention from Liu Chen. He continued moving forward until he reached the depths of the sea of thunder, then he suddenly stopped!
Liu Chen has already sensed that the cultivation of the thunder beasts nearby the area where he is currently located has already reached the perfection of the Tianxuan realm!
Further ahead will be the sleeping place of the third level thunder beasts. If we wake them up, I am afraid there will be no return this time!
Moreover, with Li Xuanfeng's level of cultivation, it should be impossible for him to come here. The power of thunder and lightning here is not something he can withstand.
Liu Chen was silent for a while, with a look of helplessness on his face. He sighed softly, turned around, and began to return to the outside of the Soul-Destroying Thunder Pool.
He had searched the entire area except the depths of the Soul-Destroying Thunder Pool, and even searched the bodies of many thunder beasts, but still could not find any trace of Li Xuanfeng. It seemed that as many disciples and elders had said, Li Xuanfeng had been buried in the belly of a thunder beast!
After such a long time, it has been digested to the point where not even a trace of residue remains...
While rapidly returning, Liu Chen did not withdraw his spiritual sense, but continued to sense the surrounding area within a thousand miles, hoping to find Li Xuanfeng by chance.
Although the Soul-Destroying Thunder Pool's weakening period has ended and countless powerful thunder beasts have emerged from the depths of the Soul-Destroying Thunder Pool, as long as they do not enter the depths of the Soul-Destroying Thunder Pool, they will not be able to threaten Liu Chen, who has reached the third realm of cultivation!
At this time, wherever Liu Chen passed by, there were thunder beasts in the Earth Profound Realm and Sky Profound Realm, and there were no thunder beasts in the third realm.
When Liu Chen's powerful spiritual power swept over, these thunder beasts were extremely terrified. They trembled and even stopped in place, shaking uncontrollably.
They felt an extremely strong sense of life and death crisis, and the only thing left in their instincts was a strong sense of fear.
Although he was constantly sensing with his spiritual sense, Liu Chen himself no longer had much hope at this point. He had not found it after such a careful search, and the possibility of finding it again was almost zero.
Although the Soul-Destroying Thunder Pool's weakening period had completely ended and many disciples and elders had all returned, the many forces outside the Soul-Destroying Thunder Pool did not leave immediately.
According to the usual arrangements, they should have left by now, but this time many forces wanted to see the results of Liu Chen's search.
After Liu Chen entered the Soul-Destroying Thunder Pool, many cultivators here began to discuss the reason why Liu Chen entered the Soul-Destroying Thunder Pool again. At this time, they all knew that the alchemist genius who was fought over by the five major forces in the past was very likely to have died in the Soul-Destroying Thunder Pool.
Many people secretly breathed a sigh of relief, their hearts filled with gloating. When Li Xuanfeng appeared that year, it was as if a huge mountain was added above them, making them feel an extremely shocking sense of oppression.
He has reached the initial stage of the Earth Profound Realm, and is also an alchemist at the Earth Profound Realm. His talent is beyond their reach, and even the top geniuses from all sides cannot compare to him.
When discussing Li Xuanfeng, someone suddenly wondered, "It seems that we haven't seen the Three-Color Elder come out of the Thunder Pool either."
Hearing this man's words, many monks immediately looked around the place, but they still did not find the figure wearing tricolor armor.
One of them recalled: "It seems that in the last month or so, the Three-Color Elder has not appeared again. Could there be an accident?"
Many cultivators felt extremely sorry after hearing this, and shook their heads and sighed, "Elder Sanse has saved many people, including me. I didn't expect that God would be so unfair and leave him in the Soul-Destroying Thunder Pool!"
After hearing their conversation, the leaders of various forces who were waiting outside the Soul-Destroying Thunder Pool immediately asked in confusion who the Three-Colored Elder was.
These disciples and elders then told the story of Elder Sanse, their tone full of respect.
After hearing their stories, the leaders of various forces couldn't help but be surprised. They found that many cultivators didn't know who the Three-Colored Elder was. It was unknown which force this person belonged to, but he rescued the disciples and elders of various forces.
However, they did not think much about it. Since this person has not appeared yet, he is most likely dead in the Soul-Destroying Thunder Pool.
And now that it has fallen, there is no need to pay attention to it anymore.
Although it was known at this time that Li Xuanfeng and the Three-Colored Elder were most likely to have died in the Soul-Destroying Thunder Pool, no one doubted that Li Xuanfeng was the Three-Colored Elder.
In their opinion, not only was Elder Sanse's cultivation much higher than Li Xuanfeng's, his combat power was also beyond the reach of an alchemist like Li Xuanfeng.
Even if the thought of this possibility arose in their minds, they instantly denied it.
It was not until an hour later that the cultivators outside the Soul-Destroying Thunder Pool finally saw Liu Chen's figure flying out of the Soul-Destroying Thunder Pool and finally stopping in front of the people from the Huadan Sect.
Seeing that Liu Chen came back alone, the great elders of the other four major forces knew that he had returned empty-handed, and they were overjoyed.
At the beginning, the five major forces tried to recruit Li Xuanfeng together, but Li Xuanfeng rejected the four major forces and finally chose Huadan Sect, which made them extremely unhappy.
And now that Li Xuanfeng had encountered an accident in the Soul-Destroying Thunder Pool, they suddenly felt that all the unhappiness they had felt at that time had been vented out.
The Cai family's great elder clasped his fists and said with a somewhat sinister smile, "The dead cannot be resurrected. Great Elder Liu, please don't get yourself hurt by being angry. We'll take our leave now."
The other three major forces also saluted and left happily, their happiness almost written on their faces.
However, although other forces also felt a little gloating in their hearts, they did not dare to offend the Huadan Sect. At this time, they still bowed to Liu Chen with great respect before leaving one after another.
When Liu Chen saw the expressions and words of the great elders of the four major forces, his anger suddenly increased again. He turned his head with a cold face and looked at the hundreds of Dixuan Realm elders of the Huadan Sect, and cursed in a deep voice:
"What are you all doing? When my disciple was in danger, no one came to his rescue in time?"
Although Liu Chen did not mention Li Xuanfeng's name, they also knew that the Great Elder was implying that they had failed to protect Li Xuanfeng.
These hundreds of Dixuan Realm elders immediately lowered their heads and did not dare to speak at all, for fear of being drowned by the wrath of Great Elder Liu Chen.
They knew very well that Great Elder Liu Chen valued Li Xuanfeng very much and had given them instructions before entering the Soul-Destroying Thunder Pool. But now Li Xuanfeng still encountered an accident, and the Great Elder's anger was something they could not bear at all.
By remaining silent like this, Great Elder Liu Chen would gradually calm down and stop harping on the matter.
Many disciples, including two top geniuses Jiang Chen and Yang Xue, did not dare to utter a word at this time, for fear of bearing the wrath of Great Elder Liu Chen.
