 **Chapter 2867: After All, I Am Still Just a Heavenly Sovereign**

At the edge of the Thunder Vault, lightning fell densely.

The thunder roared incessantly, echoing continuously.

If a Supreme were to come here, just the sound of the thunder would be overwhelming.

Especially where the Thunder Sword Grass grew, the lightning was incredibly dense.

A Dao Sovereign was advancing towards a stalk of Thunder Sword Grass, with lightning constantly exploding around him, and Thunder Monsters emerging from the lightning to crash into him.

He was enveloped in a protective treasure, its light flowing like water, forming a sturdy defense against the Thunder Monsters' impact.

However, some of the lightning's power still seeped through, slowing his movements with each impact.

With each collision, he slowly approached the Thunder Sword Grass.

The closer he got, the more lightning there was, and the more Thunder Monsters appeared, further slowing his progress. The protective light gradually weakened, and it was clear he was struggling.

The Thunder Sword Grass was within reach, almost his.

This stalk of Thunder Sword Grass was of good quality and could fetch a high price, enough to exchange for a large amount of origin crystals.

Not every Dao Sovereign is wealthy; many from five-star forces don't have abundant resources.

His movements grew slower, the protective light weakening, but fortunately, he was only a step away from the Thunder Sword Grass.

Suddenly, he saw an unbelievable sight, freezing in place as if his mind had stopped working.

A person was walking through the lightning.

Thunder Monsters crashed into him, yet he was unaffected.

He wasn't using any treasures, secret techniques, or spells; he blocked them purely with his physical body.

"Can it be done like this? Is he even human?"

"What kind of physical body can achieve this?"

In the lightning, he saw the person who had instantly killed five demon Dao Sovereigns, that fierce Heavenly Sovereign.

"He's that strong? How is that possible?"

He needed a treasure to fend off the Thunder Monsters, yet for him, it was child's play.

Stunned, his mind was in chaos, unable to comprehend.

Lin Moyu strolled through the lightning, bending down as if picking something up, then continued walking.

"Is he picking up Thunder Stones?"

"Why pick up Thunder Stones?"

In his confusion, the protective light suddenly shattered.

"Not good!"

His expression changed drastically; his momentary distraction had caused his protective treasure to break.

Without the protective treasure, the monsters crashed directly into him.

The Thunder Monsters wouldn't give him a chance; before he could react, they had already struck him.

Boom!

The lightning exploded, and he was instantly paralyzed.

The Thunder Sword Grass was right in front of him, but his body couldn't move.

Lightning fell, and more Thunder Monsters crashed into him, the paralysis growing stronger.

In just two seconds, he was immobilized, unable to move anything but his eyes.

Though he knew he wouldn't die, the Thunder Sword Grass was slipping away.

The paralysis spread through his body, quickly reaching his soul world, and he knew the Thunder Stone would soon activate, sending him out of the vault.

Suddenly, his vision blurred, and the incoming Thunder Monster was blocked by someone.

That terrifying Heavenly Sovereign suddenly appeared before him, smiling gently.

"Senior, what a pity, just a little short."

"Since we've met, let me help you this once."

The Heavenly Sovereign spoke kindly, then reached out to pick the Thunder Sword Grass and placed it in his hand.

The Thunder Monster charged, the paralysis reached his soul world, and the Thunder Stone activated.

Lin Moyu watched him get sent out of the vault, as if it were a trivial matter, then turned back to his own tasks.

The Thunder Monsters at the edge of the storm no longer affected him, and Lin Moyu was collecting Thunder Stones.

The Dao pattern in his palm was becoming more distinct, nearing completion.

Lin Moyu didn't know what awaited inside the storm, so he didn't enter yet, choosing to collect enough Thunder Stones outside first.

This vault wasn't urgent; he could explore it slowly.

He encountered the other Dao Sovereigns, who all looked shocked upon seeing Lin Moyu.

They struggled through the lightning, using treasures and taking risks for a few Thunder Sword Grass, while Lin Moyu walked casually, as if strolling through a garden.

If Lin Moyu ventured deeper into the storm, those high-grade Thunder Sword Grass would be within easy reach.

They were envious; those high-grade Thunder Sword Grass deep inside were only dreams for them.

Lin Moyu circled the storm, collecting many Thunder Stones.

He found fewer Thunder Stones, the efficiency dropping sharply.

"It seems to be guiding me inward."

"Well, I've collected enough; it's time to see inside."

The Dao pattern in his palm was about eighty percent complete.

Just as Lin Moyu was about to head deeper, a voice called from behind, "Friend, it's dangerous inside."

Lin Moyu paused and turned.

One of the five Dao Sovereigns waved at him.

He was protected by a treasure, standing in a relatively sparse area of lightning.

They had been here several times and had some experience.

Lin Moyu quickly approached him, speaking warmly, "Senior, could you tell me more?"

Lin Moyu's respectful address startled the Dao Sovereign, "No, no, don't call me senior, just call me friend. My name is Jiang Ruobei."

"Jiang Ruobei..." Lin Moyu murmured, noting his resemblance to Jiang Ruoxue.

Not only did he resemble Jiang Ruoxue, but the five of them shared similarities, likely from the same family.

Jiang Ruobei felt uncomfortable under Lin Moyu's gaze and couldn't help asking, "Friend, is there something wrong with me?"

Lin Moyu asked, "Are you from the Jiang family of Floating City?"

Jiang Ruobei instinctively nodded, "How did you know?"

Lin Moyu said, "I once met Miss Jiang Ruoxue, and you look somewhat alike, and both share the surname Jiang."

Jiang Ruobei realized, "I see, so you're acquainted with Ruoxue."

Lin Moyu smiled, "You mentioned danger inside; could you elaborate?"

Jiang Ruobei quickly explained, "We've seen several seniors above the Dao Sovereign Fourth Realm enter the deepest part, but none have returned."

"Not only humans, but demons also went in, including the Thunder Light Purple Striped Tiger clan, and even they didn't return."

"Though you're strong, friend..."

Lin Moyu finished for him, "After all, I'm still just a Heavenly Sovereign, right?"

Jiang Ruobei quickly said, "No offense, just a suggestion."

Lin Moyu smiled, "No problem, anything else?"

Jiang Ruobei added, "There was a great battle after a human Dao Sovereign Fourth Realm senior went in. We heard a spirit beast's roar, strange and sharp, piercing the soul."

Lin Moyu thought for a moment, "Understood, thank you, Jiang. If you five wait outside after leaving the vault, I might bring back some Thunder Sword Grass for you."

With that, Lin Moyu turned and headed deeper.
