This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable

Chapter 480: Chapter 16: Thunder and Vitality_2

He walked slowly for half an hour.

The ground trembled, and thunder roared between heaven and earth.

Boom!

Lu Qingshan looked ahead, and there appeared before him what is known as Duke of Thunder’s Pool.

In his field of vision, the ground strewn with broken stones flashed with thunder arcs, and stripes of ground lightning traveled here and there, crackling incessantly.

Wherever his eyes reached, the area was completely enshrouded in intense thunder, truly as if he had entered into a pool of thunder!

...

Above the sky, heavenly thunder descended.

Thunder arcs thick as an arm flashed chaotically and appeared endlessly, continuously falling, coming down to the earth amidst the booming sounds.

The ground absorbed the thunder light, turning into numerous silver snakes that roamed freely, enhancing the intensity of the thunder.

This was a world of thunder prison.

At this moment, it was exactly the time of the grand thunder outbreak Yang Qing’er had spoken of, and the density of the thunder light was truly rare to see. @@novelbin@@

Lu Qingshan’s gaze flashed as he slowly descended, silently waiting for the tide of thunder to recede.

After a quarter of an hour.

The flashing heavenly thunder disappeared, and the booming thunder also gradually subsided, leaving only those earth-bound thunder snakes crawling and winding.

According to Yang Qing’er, the frequency of the grand thunder outbreaks at Duke of Thunder’s Pool had shortened to two or three times a day.

That is to say, there was still some time before the next thunder tide erupted.

“Let’s go in and check the situation first,” Lu Qingshan’s eyes focused, he flipped his left hand over, and a palm-sized miniature wooden shield appeared in his hand.

The wooden shield was intricately patterned.

Lu Qingshan channeled his Spiritual Power into it.

The patterns on the wooden shield flashed suddenly, and then followed those patterns, it suddenly split apart, breaking down into countless scale-like fragments, floating in the air, quickly assembling around him into a set of armor, which protected him within.

Lightning Avoidance Clothing, one of the Lightning Avoidance Artifacts he purchased in Giant Bear City.

The material used for this artifact was Lightning Avoidance Wood, which had an excellent insulating effect against thunder.

Under the protection of Lightning Avoidance Clothing, Lu Qingshan stepped into it.

Crackling!

The thunder on the ground, emanating blue light, had already surged upward, rushing toward Lu Qingshan.

His magic artifact immediately came into play.

The thunder arcs were all blocked by the Lightning Avoidance Clothing, clinging to the armor, making a crackling sound.

Such a force of thunder was easily blocked by Lu Qingshan with the help of his artifact; the consumption of Spiritual Power was almost negligible.

However, after only a few more steps, Lu Qingshan’s eyes suddenly revealed a look of surprise and doubt,

“This thunder… seems a bit strange…”

Lu Qingshan closely examined the thunder moving outside his armor.

After a long while, he suddenly realized.

“This thunder actually includes both acquired and innate thunder…”

There are two types of thunder: acquired and innate.

Acquired thunder is generated through spells or Divine Skills and other external means, while innate thunder is nurtured by nature.

Based on his expectations, the birthplace of the Life Thunder Fruit should be a dangerous territory of heaven and earth, where the thunder naturally comes from the environment.

However, the presence of acquired thunder indicated that this Thunder Forbidden Zone might not completely match what he had in mind.

“Is this place not the birthplace of the Life Thunder Fruit, or is there something else within this Thunder Forbidden Zone… Could the ‘Duke of Thunder’ mentioned by the Yang tribe actually exist?” Lu Qingshan’s heart gradually tightened, and his actions became even more cautious and careful.

The deeper he went, the richer the thunder light in the area became.

Soon, Lu Qingshan’s armor was covered with dense, crawling thunder, looking like a thunder cocoon, which was terrifying to behold.

As he delved deeper, Lu Qingshan became extremely uneasy and took out another green Spirit Bead Artifact from his Storage Ring.

With a slight circulation of Spiritual Power, a layer of green Spiritual Light enveloped his body.

Green Wood Bead, a Middle Grade Earthly Artifact, crafted by a Nascent Soul Cultivator using Green Wood Spirit Jade as the material, engraved with Green Wood Spirit Patterns, once activated, would emit Green Wood Spirit Light, protecting the owner of the artifact.

The Green Wood Spirit Light of Wood Attribute was more directly and significantly effective in defending against thunder than other attributes.

Lu Qingshan looked at the ground filled with thunder light and electric snakes, his heart stirring slightly.

Thunder was a symbol of destruction.

Yet, he could feel a strong vitality emanating from the ground covered by the thunder, its vigor astonishing to the core.

“There is such an intense vitality within the thunder…” Lu Qingshan’s eyes revealed a strange gleam.

Boom!

A clap of thunder exploded, deafening.

Just four or five steps in front of him, a heavenly thunder fell, the thunder light blinding.

Underneath this heavenly thunder, the ground of the thunder pool, like a lake disturbed by a pebble, became agitated, with waves rising and crashing towards Lu Qingshan.

The crackling sounds were relentless, sparking countless fires, and the contained power of heavenly earth-shaking thunder caused Lu Qingshan’s complexion to change involuntarily.

A grand thunder outbreak!

This was his first encounter with a sudden surge of thunder.

Immediately, Lu Qingshan channeled all his power into the Green Wood Bead.

The green light rippled, glimmered like glistening water, forming a protective curtain around him.

The dense thunder light, at that moment, surged with force, and struck his most outer layer of Lightning Avoidance Armor.

The armor was already covered with countless weak thunder snakes.

This bolt of lightning seemed to ignite a bomb, a huge net-like Thunder Ball suddenly coalesced, and at the moment it reached its pinnacle, it exploded with a bang.

Boom!
