Chapter 614: Conspiracy

The black-robed man coldly smiled, while the white-dressed fat man and the white-haired old man were silent. However, the atmosphere had unconsciously become very dignified.

The black-robed man was clear enough. They came here to struggle for the celestial aura. Those who win will get it, maybe reach the next level, then continue struggling to reach even higher levels.

However, for those who fail, they might never come across a similar opportunity in the future. After the black-robed man uttered this fact, the three of them also understood that there was absolutely no room for maneuver on this matter.

When the celestial aura appears later, the three of them will fight with all of their strength.

“Hey, you two, it seems we aren’t the only peak immortal kings here.”

Suddenly, the black-robed man smiled and said, at the same time, his head was tilted to one side. Through the waves of endless trees, sound booms and sounds of trees collapsing sounded. In the next moment, more than a dozen figures appeared in front of the three of them.

At the head of this team was a gloomy-faced youth. He coldly glanced at the black-robed man and the other two then stood silently on the side.

In fact, the face of the three powerhouses became solemn with the appearance of the youth. Ordinary immortals can’t stay next to them for a long time, as the area is filled with their aura. Only powerhouses of the same level can stand beside them.

The gloomy youth can indeed easily withstand this aura, but this doesn’t mean that his subordinates can do the same. In just a few minutes, the group of immortals started shaking a little.

“If you can stick to it, stick to it. Those who can’t resist, retreat immediately.”

The gloomy youth calmly looked at his team and said.

“This is the spiritual oppression of the peak immortal kings. It’s a free training place for you.”

“The longer you stay under this kind of oppressive environment, the better it will be for you.”

The gloomy man’s words caused those who were originally planning to rest to grit their teeth and hold their ground.

Only some people who were truly unable to hold on helplessly retreated.

As time passed, several more teams came, and all of their leaders had strength at the peak of immortality.

By now, there were already nine peak immortal kings, which made the black-robed man, the white-dressed fat man, and the white-haired old man look more solemn.

By now, they no longer hold the absolute advantage. Several of the newcomers are as strong as them.

“I didn’t expect this kind of thing to happen.”

The black-robed man shook his head and said, but he didn’t shrink back at all.

After all, all of these guys are at the same rank as him. Even if there were some slightly stronger immortal kings, he still has a chance under this muddy water.

​​“Boom!!”

It was also at this moment the sound of thunder rang in the sky, followed by a series of electric arcs blasting out, lashing the surroundings.

After the sound of thunder sounded, it quickly amplified, followed by countless bolts of lightning raining below, striking the ground with heaven-shattering might.

The power of these primordial lightning strikes far surpassed supernovas. If they were to strike on a normal area outside, they could easily destroy entire star systems.

“This……”

The weaker people on the ground watched this scene with fright and terror. Many people rushed outside the Nanya mountains at frightening speeds.

“This isn’t an event that low-level immortals can participate in at all!”

There were several immortals among the people that fled. They might be hailed as god-like figures outside, but they didn’t dare to be proud in this place at all.

Anyway, in their opinion, even if they joined forces, they are unlikely to resist these lightning strikes.

​​In the area shrouded by the primordial lightning, even the black-robed man and other peak powerhouses felt extremely strenuous at this time, as if they would be unable to hold on in the next moment.

“What’s going on?”

The black-robbed man cursed inwardly. He raised his head and observed the lightning sea for a while, but he couldn’t find an opening in a short time.

“Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!”

The thunder and lightning above the sky became more and more terrifying. The lightning sea became bigger and bigger. At one point, it became hard for even peak immortals to resist.

The black-robbed man constantly flew around in the lightning sea, dodging most lightning strikes. Suddenly, he teleported outside, staring at the scene inside while panting.

An apocalyptic scene has swept the entire forest of the Nanya mountain. At this time, the black-robed man looked around and found that not only did he fly out, but even the white-dressed fat man and the white-robbed old man had flown out.

When the two saw the black-robed man, they were obviously startled, then helplessly shook their heads.

However, they did not leave. Although they were forced out of the forest, it does not mean that they were out of the competition. If someone manages to rescue the woman from the chaotic void, then they can still battle over her.

In the next ten days, no more immortal-class powerhouses appeared. Even if some new cultivators joined the fray, they were all ‘weaklings’, not worth paying attention to.

The black-robed man and the other peak immortals didn’t care about these people as well.

It’s worth mentioning that everyone came out from the lightning sea. None of them could withstand it anymore.

Even peak immortal kings couldn’t withstand the terrifying power of the primordial lightning. If an average immortal or below were to set foot in this lightning sea, they would instantly get vaporized. Not even their sub-molecular regeneration can save them.

Of course, it isn’t all losses. Primordial lightning actually has both the powers of creation and destruction. The longer they can persist in the lightning sea, the greater their resistance to lightning, allowing them to say even longer. It’s a virtuous cycle,

“She appeared!”

A young man amongst the crowd suddenly exclaimed as he watched the void above the lightning sea.

If Fang Yun was here, he would be able to recognize at a glance that this figure was indeed Tang Guo. However, Tang Guo was closing her eyes at the moment, unable to detect the outside situation.

“Sure enough, that woman has a celestial aura!”

Suddenly, another person in the crowd yelled. It wasn’t just him, everyone on the ground was going crazy, staring at Tang Guo with greedy eyes.

Everyone had sensed it, there is indeed a celestial aura in this woman’s body.

“Celestial aura, It’s a celestial aura! Maybe by virtue of this celestial aura, I can reach the sage level.” The black-robed man looked at Tang Guo above the thunderstorm and thought greedily.

However, to get this woman this time, he needs to participate in an earth-shattering battle. Many of his subordinates are likely to die here. Even he has a certain chance of death.

“Huh…” The black-robed man sighed helplessly,

“It doesn’t really matter. If I don’t reach the next level, I’m afraid I won’t live long.”

After shaking his head and sighing, the expression of the black-robed man became more determined than ever.

“Heh, you finally brought me to Nanya Mountain.”

At the foot of the mountain, a dirty old man carelessly said to a group of people.

This group of people was the bearded captain group. At the moment, as they watched the lightning sea and countless powerhouses not far away from it, their knees softened, causing them to almost fall on the ground.

“Okay, now you are free.”

After the unkempt old man said this, he walked forward swaggeringly, not caring about the solemn and subtle atmosphere near the lightning sea ahead.

“Who?!”

On the other side, the black-robed man and others who were originally prepared to fight for the celestial aura in Tang Guo’s body noticed the arrival of the old man, immediately shifting their attention to him.

“Hehe, it’s just an old man.”

The unkempt old man indifferently said. After a moment, he walked in a leisurely manner towards the opposite lightning sea.

“Huh… Fuck…”

Someone wanted to angrily scold the unkempt old man, but it occurred to him that the old man had just entered the lightning sea, but nothing happened to him.

This person is definitely not someone he can provoke, so the moment the insult reached his mouth, he swallowed it again.

“Hehe, all of you, go back. The celestial aura on this young girl belongs to me, so there’s no reason for you to fight here.”

The old beggar withdrew his gaze from Tang Guo, then glanced at the black-robed man and the others.

“Your Excellency wants to take this celestial aura for yourself?” Someone frowned and said,

“This celestial aura is the property of all of us, why must you take it alone?”

“Didn’t you say it yourself? Those who have the ability will get it.”

The unkempt old man grinned, “I won’t repeat it again, leave as soon as possible, otherwise, you wouldn’t be able to leave later even if you want to.”

The black-robed man and the others snorted coldly. Just as they were about to say something, their expressions suddenly changed, because the intensity of the primordial lightning in the sky had increased another notch.

“What’s the matter?”

To the black-robed man and other peak immortal kings, the previous primordial lightning couldn’t constitute much of a threat, but suddenly, the destructive power of the lightning has increased to a frightening degree. Even they were terrified upon seeing such destructive lightning.

These lightning bolts are really abnormal. Each one of them had a thickness of several meters, but the energy they carry is enough to break space and destroy entire regions!

Moreover, the lightning sea has spread across the entire forest. The lightning quickly approached them, carrying power capable of destroying the heavens!

“No, I can’t stay here for long!”

This idea suddenly popped in the head of an immortal-class cultivator, but he still hesitated, because other people did not run away yet. In the next moment, a giant lightning bolt flew towards him and instantly reduced him into dust.

Even if they are the strongest cultivators within their respective regions, they still felt weak in front of this thunderstorm. It’s common sense that masters of their level have incredibly high spiritual attainments, causing most of their instincts and feelings to be true.

This means that these lightning bolts can indeed kill them.

“How is it possible?”

Such a thought appeared in the black-robbed man’s mind, making him feel suffocated, but the feeling of palpitations in his heart wasn’t fake nor was it wrong.

“I will really die!!”

Suddenly, an incomparably thick lightning bolt flew out towards him. Suddenly, the black-robed man’s eyes widened, and his aura surged.

He tried to form an energy shield outside his body, but his reaction was still a bit slower. The giant lightning bolt directly hit him, vaporizing the space within dozens of meters and turning him into complete dust.

“Run!!!”

The white-dressed fat man and the white-robbed old man yelled at the same time. It wasn’t just them, everyone was scrambling to flee at this moment, bursting out with unprecedented speed.

They all knew that their power wasn’t much higher or lower than the black-robbed man. Since he can be instantly killed, their fate will not be different.

“Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!”

At this time, the sound of lightning and thunder became louder and louder. The area of the lightning sea quickly became bigger and bigger.

Many people couldn’t run at a speed faster than the expansion speed of the lightning sea, causing them to be caught up and devoured before they could escape.

“Ha ha ha ha!”

Unknown to the cultivators below, several figures could be seen above the cloud layers. At this moment, one of them heavily sucked the air, causing a while mist to fly from the lightning sea below and straight into his body.

“Unfortunately, not many people died, and the most powerful is just an immortal, it would be much better if a sage died here.”

The person who devoured the white mist laughed and said.

“The celestial aura contained in the body of this woman is still a little bit less, otherwise, even sage-level masters would have been attracted.”

“Yes, with Young Master Li here, even if a sage-level powerhouse appeared here, they can only fall in your hands and get devoured.” A person beside him said flatteringly.

The person called young master Li just smiled, but suddenly, a sharp color appeared in his eyes as he looked down.
