Chapter 1159 The Wind Howls in the Southern Wilderness, Encountering an Ancient God
details make a difference.
That wisp of lightning was only as thick as a little finger, and its entire body was purple-gold. It danced on Su Xiaoya's fingertip, making a slight crackling sound.
If it were an ordinary cultivator, they probably wouldn't even be able to detect the existence of this wisp of heavenly lightning. So who is Yin Yin?
He is an ancient god who has lived for hundreds of thousands of years.
He has seen countless rare treasures and fought alongside many powerful beings from ancient times.
At that moment, his pupils suddenly contracted, a hint of undisguised astonishment flashing in his eyes, even his tone carrying a touch of disbelief: "Innate Thunder Dao? This is... the primordial heavenly thunder of Thunder Swamp! You are a successor of Thunder Swamp?"
"Rayze?"
Su Xiaoya was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously raised her hand, looked at the purple-gold lightning dancing at her fingertips, and shook her head in a daze.
Speaking of which, after the Thunder Ancestral Witch Qiangliang and the Lightning Ancestral Witch Yuezi helped her comprehend the Great Dao of Thunder in the Trial Grounds of the Witch God, she obtained the "Imperial Thunder" technique on that mysterious planet full of thunder power in the Reincarnation Illusion, which further enhanced the rules of the Great Dao of Thunder.
However, she truly knew nothing about whether a place called Leize existed on Qingyuan Star!
As for the fact that she had somehow become involved with this so-called Lei Ze, and even became its successor, this was even more inexplicable and unbelievable to her!
At this moment, Su Xiaoya blinked her large, crystal-clear eyes and looked straight at Yin Yinhu. Her face was full of sincerity and frankness as she solemnly said, "I really don't know where Lei Ze is located, and I've never heard of the successor."
Upon hearing this, Yin Yin fell into a brief silence.
He stared motionlessly at the lightning flashing and leaping at Su Xiaoya's fingertips. The surprise that had been in his eyes gradually disappeared, replaced by an indescribable complex expression.
It contains a deep longing and nostalgia for the past, mixed with a touch of regret and loss, while also seemingly revealing a sense of relief and liberation...
Unbeknownst to him, his hand, which was tightly gripping the blue banner, began to slowly loosen, and the blue banner, which had been fluttering and rustling in the wind, quietly closed up.
At the same time, the originally bright and dazzling wind patterns on the flag gradually became dull and lifeless, as if they had lost their vitality.
As the blue banner was drawn back, the raging winds that had been sweeping across the world miraculously calmed down, as if they had been suddenly suppressed by an invisible force.
The dust that filled the sky slowly settled to the ground, revealing a clear blue sky and a huge, fiery volcano in the distance, its outline glowing with a dark red light under the sunlight.
Just when everyone thought that was the end of it and that Yin Yin Hu would not speak again, Yin Yin Hu's voice rang out softly.
His voice carried a hint of ancient vicissitudes, as if recalling a past event that had been sealed away for 100,000 years.
"Leize is an ancient thunder domain."
"Ten thousand years ago, the Lord of Thunder Swamp shone like a brilliant star in the heavens. He was an extraordinary and talented being who possessed the innate source of thunder and could draw divine thunder from the heavens. His power was like a thunderbolt, shaking the world."
"At that time, extraterrestrial demons surged into Qingyuan Star like a tidal wave. The Lord of Thunder Swamp fought alongside me, defending the Southern Wilderness like an iron wall, striking fear into the hearts of the demons. Unfortunately..."
At this point, Yin Yin paused, then let out a long sigh, a sigh that sounded like a mournful song from ancient times, filled with endless regret.
"Unfortunately, on the day of the final battle, the Lord of Thunder Marsh, in order to cover our retreat, used his own essence as a catalyst, like a phoenix rising from the ashes, to unleash the divine thunder of the nine heavens, perishing together with tens of thousands of demons, leaving not even his divine soul behind. Thunder Marsh was thus destroyed, turning into scorched earth, and for ten thousand years, no one has been able to control the innate thunder path..."
Yin Yin Hu's gaze, like the warm spring sun, fell on Su Xiao Ya again, his eyes softening: "Fine, for Lei Ze's sake, I will not hold it against you."
"However, the Taotie of Crimson Flame Volcano has become increasingly ferocious lately, like an enraged lion. It may have obtained some fortuitous opportunity, and its cultivation has greatly increased. If you are going to Crimson Flame Volcano, you must be careful. That ferocious beast is inherently violent, with thick skin and flesh, like an impenetrable wall. Ordinary magic weapons cannot harm it in the slightest."
As the words fell, Yin Yinhu's figure gradually became transparent, like a gentle breeze, carrying a faint sound of wind, disappearing into the horizon, leaving only a faint sigh drifting in the wind, as if recalling that glorious history.
Only after the green wind completely dissipated did Xuanluo, the patriarch of the Three-Headed Kingdom, dare to slowly straighten up, his forehead already covered in cold sweat.
The middle head took a deep breath to calm itself, then quickly leaned forward and whispered to Su Mingyi and the other two:
“Three esteemed lords, if you are truly determined to explore and search for treasure at the Crimson Flame Volcano, I suggest you first detour to Wushan to find some legendary divine medicines of the Heavenly Emperor.”
At this point, Xuan Luo paused for a moment to carefully observe the expressions of Su Xiaoya and the other two, making sure they were listening attentively and hadn't let his good intentions go to waste, before continuing to explain the situation.
"It is said that this miraculous medicine grows on the summit of Mount Wu, and it is a rare treasure left behind by the Heavenly Emperor in ancient times! This medicine has powerful effects and can effectively resist the ferocious evil energy emitted by the Taotie. As long as you have this divine medicine in hand, you can be assured that your lives are safe."
He paused for a moment when he said this.
This time, instead of looking at Su Xiaoya and the other two, he looked around as if afraid that someone might be eavesdropping.
With three heads and six eyes scanning the surroundings to make sure no one was eavesdropping, Xuan Luo then continued his story.
However, this time his tone of voice became noticeably more cautious, as if filled with a sense of awe:
"However, it should be noted that Mount Wu is by no means an ordinary place, but an extremely dangerous place fraught with peril."
"There is also a mysterious yellow bird guarding the mountain, specifically responsible for protecting these precious elixirs of the Heavenly Emperor."
"This yellow bird is no ordinary creature—it belongs to one of the rare species from ancient times, capable of spewing out strange, multicolored light, and its power is unparalleled."
"The more troublesome problem is that this yellow bird does not exist alone; it is in league with another enormous creature called the Black Serpent."
"That black serpent was enormous, and its strength was beyond imagination; moreover, it particularly liked to devour moose that lived in Wushan as its food source."
"In this way, the Yellow Bird protected the precious Heavenly Emperor's Divine Medicine from harm with its own strength, while the Black Serpent relied on the security provided by the Yellow Bird to escape the threat of other potential enemies."
"Meanwhile, the poor moose can only rely on the black snake's regularly shed skin as their food."
"In this way, a delicate and fragile ecological balance is achieved among the three parties."
"Therefore, to successfully seize the Heavenly Emperor's Divine Medicine under the close surveillance of the Yellow Bird is probably a hundred or a thousand times more difficult than ascending to heaven!"
Su Mingyi, Yu Shuheng, and Su Xiaoya exchanged glances, each seeing a determined look in the other's eyes.
The essence of the 'Fire Ember Wood' was taken away by Su Xiaoya. Although no one knew this, it was the truth.
In addition, the spiritual veins of Qingyuan Star are transforming into immortal veins.
Although, they are temporarily contained within the twelve peaks of the Su family's inner gate in the Funiu Mountains.
However, the special nature of Qingyuan Star will be exposed sooner or later.
What kind of backup plans did those invaders from beyond the borders 100,000 years ago have?
Ten thousand years ago, the ancestors who stayed behind to send Qingyuan Star into the black hole and avoid the myriad worlds were still wandering in the void...
Su Xiaoya and the others didn't even dare to think about whether these ancestors were really still alive.
Even if they survive, how well can they survive in the face of being hunted down by the powerful forces of all the worlds?
They carried the hopes of billions of living beings on Qingyuan Star, and even more so the hopes of their ancestors who wandered alone in the void for the sake of Qingyuan Star!
Even though the road ahead was full of thorns, even though Mount Wu was treacherous, and even though the Taotie of the Crimson Flame Volcano was brutal, they could only forge ahead without any way back.
Yu Shuheng looked helplessly at Su Xiaoya, reached out and ruffled her hair, his tone carrying a mixture of doting and resignation:
"This time when we go to Wushan, we must not make any rash moves, lest we provoke some ferocious beasts again."
Having gained some experience, in Black Wind Ridge, Su Xiaoya merely casually struck a bolt of lightning, which destroyed the Black Wind Demon's lair and attracted the pursuit of half of the demon beasts in Black Wind Ridge...
This isn't the first or second time I've had this experience.
Although, the result was good every time.
However, their cultivation levels are getting higher and higher, and the troubles they attract are becoming more and more troublesome, so it's best to be cautious.
Su Xiaoya playfully stuck out her tongue, a sly look on her face. She was about to retort and defend herself, saying it was self-defense, when suddenly she heard a deafening roar, like thunder from the heavens, coming from the direction of the Crimson Flame Volcano.
"Roar!"
The roar was like that of an enraged beast, baring its fangs and claws, full of violence and anger, which made the earth tremble slightly.
At the summit of Mount Buting, pebbles fell like raindrops, and a fine crack appeared in the boulder beneath Su Mingyi and his companions' feet, as if the earth was groaning in pain.
The three of them changed their expressions at the same time, and like eagles spreading their wings, they suddenly looked towards the direction of the Crimson Flame Volcano.
On the crater of the volcano that spews lava year-round, a huge black shadow shot into the sky like a rocket, reaching a height of ten thousand feet, blotting out the sun, as if it were about to tear the entire sky apart.
The shadowy figure resembled a tiger but was also like a dog, with an enormous head and a human-like face, but with a pair of ferocious fangs, and dark red saliva hanging from the corner of its mouth, like the saliva of a demon.
Its entire body is covered with a layer of black scales, as hard as a rock, as if it were forged from the hardest black iron. Under the sunlight, it shimmers with a cold luster, as piercing as a cold star.
Between the scales, traces of flowing magma could still be faintly seen, winding like a fire dragon, radiating a scorching heat that distorted the air as if it were about to be swallowed by the heatwave.
One of the Four Fiends of Antiquity—Taowu!
Su Mingyi's pupils suddenly contracted, as if he had been electrocuted, and he stared intently at the huge black shadow.
Ancient texts record that Taotie was an ancient ferocious beast, cruel and bloodthirsty by nature, as terrifying as a demon. Ten thousand years ago, it was sealed under the Crimson Flame Volcano by several powerful beings, but unexpectedly, it has broken free of the seal today.
What made the three of them feel even more uneasy was that Taotie's scarlet eyes, like burning flames, seemed to be fixed on them with some kind of locking force.
His eyes blazed with murderous intent, like a surging wave, as if he wanted to tear the three of them to pieces and grind their bones to dust.
