Chapter 594: Thunder Emperor

After stepping into the vortex, Xiao Ming found himself in a seemingly endless space that had appeared before his eyes. This was the Thunder World.

Countless thirty thousand meters large thunderbolts, that looked like ancient lightning dragons, whistled and flashed across this place. Suddenly, a thunder roar spread, making this scene so spectacular that it could not be described with words.

Xiao Ming calmly surveyed this Thunder World. Those thunderbolts, which were powerful enough to reduce a Profound Death Stage practitioner into dust, would automatically disappear when they landed within a thirty-hundred-meter radius around him.

With a slight step forward, Xiao Ming moved and approached the deep parts of the Thunder World. Soon after, a lightning sea region appeared in front of his line of sight.

This lightning sea was vast and boundless and thunderbolts surged on this sea. There were also silver thunderbolts covering the sky above. The explosive rumbling thunder sound was just like the might of the heavens, instilling fear into one's soul.

Xiao Ming floated in the air above this lightning sea. Before him stood a silver-colored altar. The altar had ten thousand lightning steps and there was a throne located at the peak of it.

Tens of thousands of lightning fell around the throne and the space was distorted. A human figure seemed to be seated alone on the throne.

That human figure did not look extremely muscular and he even looked a little scrawny. However, this scrawny figure was emitting a terrifying aura that caused even the sky and earth to tremble.

'That must be the former controller of the Thunderbolt Ancestral Symbol… the Thunder Emperor.' Xiao Ming thought as he looked at the figure on the throne. The monstrous aura of the latter, however, was devoid of life. Clearly, he was already dead.

Then he lifted his head and saw a three thousand meters large lightning cluster suspended in the distant sky. At a glance, it appeared as though it was a sun created from lightning.

From within that lightning cluster, Xiao Ming sensed a familiar fluctuation. In the center of the lightning cluster, he could vaguely make out an ancient symbol.

That symbol was distorted, appearing just like the first thunderbolt that had been born in this world.

Ancient and mighty.

It possessed the might of the god's punishment.

"Thunderbolt Ancestral Symbol…"

Xiao Ming did not act immediately after seeing the Thunderbolt Ancestral Symbol. Instead, his gaze shifted to the lightning sea below. Immediately, he clenched his fist, and a monstrous flame suddenly erupted from his palm. Wave after wave of shocking heat waves spread out, causing the surrounding space to become slightly distorted.

Bang!

With a flick of his finger, the flames swept down. After which, they charged into the lightning sea region. A howl erupted after the flames charged into the lightning sea. Suddenly, a giant thirty-thousand-meter swirl appeared within the lightning sea.

"Roar!"

An extremely evil roar suddenly resounded from the deep regions of the spatial swirl. Monstrous Black Qi suddenly surged.

Rumble!

However, the lightning sun in the sky suddenly emitted an extremely loud sound after the monstrous Black Qi was shot out. Shortly after that, Xiao Ming could see that the air above the lightning sea was being distorted. Many three-thousand-meter-long lightning chains slowly appeared.

These chains were like lightning dragons. They were connected to the lightning sun in the sky on one end and plunged into the deepest part of the spatial swirl on the other.

In the deepest part of the lightning sea, a thirty-meter-long black shadow struggled furiously. However, it was firmly held by those lightning chains, rendering it powerless to break free.

Meanwhile, a monstrous and evil aura continuously radiated from its body as it tried to erode the lightning chains binding it. Unfortunately for it, these efforts were in vain.

As Xiao Ming's gaze fell upon the black shadow shrouded in lightning, it seemed to sense his presence and abruptly raised its head. Its sinister and ferocious eyes met Xiao Ming's directly.

Xiao Ming felt a faint force attempting to invade his mind as their eyes met. His gaze intensified, and the eyes of the Yimo King beneath him exploded violently!

"Ah...!!"

"Humans, you despicable humans!"

The enormous black shadow at the bottom of the lightning sea roared as its eyes burst open and tears of blood flowed out. Its roar was filled with intense hatred, "My Yimo Tribe will flatten this plane sooner or later!"

"You should know the gap between you and me, yet you're still so arrogant," Xiao Ming laughed.

"Do not think that you humans have won this war. The number of my Yimo Tribe on this plane is beyond your imagination. The next time there is a rift between the planes, all the creatures on this plane will be subjugated by my tribe!" The Yimo King roared sharply.

Xiao Ming did not pay attention to these words and instead turned his attention to the figure sitting on the throne.

"Thunder Emperor, I am aware that a sliver of your consciousness remains within the Thunderbolt Ancestral Symbol. Unleash your remaining strength now. I am giving you a chance to personally eliminate this Yimo King."

A lightning light shot out from the lightning sun as his voice fell. Eventually, it shone on the throne.

Under the illumination of the lightning, the eyes of the skinny figure that had been closed for thousands of years actually slowly opened.

Lightning whistled across the sky. It was as if they were welcoming their king back.

The remnant spirit of the Thunder Emperor awakened...

Rumble!

Countless huge thunderbolts suddenly rained down from every direction in the sky at this moment. In contrast, the altar quietly sat amidst the tens of thousands of thunderbolts.

The man seated on the throne opened his eyes, which had been shut for a thousand years, as a resplendent silver glow emerged from his eyes. It was as though there was a lightning realm within them. The frightening fluctuations from them caused one's heart to tremble with fear.

The silver-eyed man opened his eyes before he slowly took a look at Xiao Ming. He nodded slightly and smiled. "Greetings to Senior!"

"Let's skip the formalities; you won't last long in this state," Xiao Ming's gaze rested on the Thunder Emperor.

"I can give you the strength to annihilate this Yimo King and fulfill your last wish. Afterwards, I'll send you into reincarnation. With your strength, there's a slight chance you might awaken your memories in your next life."

In the Tian Xuan Continent, a strong Reincarnation Stage practitioner could voluntarily enter into Reincarnation, with the possibility of awakening their memories and strength in the next life. It was akin to a game where you'd forgotten the password.

Others who died could also enter reincarnation, but this was just a normal reincarnation. It was similar to restarting a game with a new account. There was no chance of regaining any memories.

In his time, the Thunder Emperor was strong enough to challenge the Reincarnation Stage. He was able to seal a Yimo King of comparable strength even when he was ambushed. His strength was immense, and there was a small chance that he would retain his memories.

This was mainly because his soul had absorbed some of the power of reincarnation during his breakthrough.

As for the previous Zuo Fei, he had no chance at all. Therefore, Xiao Ming did not make any extra effort.

"This soul fragment of mine is indeed unable to survive for long, but there's no need to think about it. I choose to annihilate this Yimo."

"Thunder Emperor, you pathetic thing who has dragged out an ignoble existence. You actually hid inside the Thunderbolt Ancestral Symbol for a thousand years because you were afraid of taking me on alone right?!" The Yimo king looked at the Thunder Emperor from deep within the sea of lightning and involuntarily roared. His roar was filled with fury.

"If you did not suddenly launch a sneak attack while I was undergoing the Reincarnation Tribulation, slaying all of you would have been as easy as flipping my hand!" The Thunder Emperor's silver eyes looked towards the roaring Yimo King and spoke in an indifferent voice.

"However, since you are unable to endure being sealed, this emperor shall help free you today."

The Thunder Emperor abruptly stepped forward after his voice sounded. One could see the three thousand meters large lightning sun in the sky suddenly release a clap of thunder. After which, the lightning sun began to distort. Promptly, countless lightning bolts came raining down like a waterfall.

"Roar!"

Resplendent lightning glow distorted in the sky while an ancient roar faintly echoed. Soon after, the lightning sun turned into a huge creature that was thousands of meters in size.

This was a creature that looked like a giant snake. Its body was as bright as silver while lightning liquid continuously dripped from its body. When it swept across the sky, the lightning liquid transformed into thunderbolts that came raining down.

That snake-like creature possessed nine giant heads. Its enormous body entrenched itself in the sky while it gave off a frightening pressure, causing even space itself to become a little distorted.

This was the Ancestral Symbol Spirit. It was a magical creature that could only be summoned when an Ancestral Symbol was activated to its utmost limit. It could connect to the origin power of the Tian Xuan Continent and possessed the power to destroy the world. The Symbol Spirit of this Thunderbolt Ancestral Symbol represented the very essence of lightning power in this plane.

"Senior, lend me your strength!"

Xiao Ming waved his hand. A golden lightning roared down from his body. This was the Nine Mysterious Golden Lightning combined with other Mysterious Lightnings.

In an instant, the Ancestral Symbol Spirit was tinged with a brilliant golden color. Its nine giant heads hissed in unison. Their ferocious mouths gaped wide open as lightning was spat out like a waterfall. They were finally agglomerating into a lightning-glowing pillar that was filled with destructive force.

"Die!"

A low cry was emitted from the Thunder Emperor's mouth. Immediately, the entire Thunder World started to tremble wildly. The lightning sea below completely collapsed as three-thousand-meter large waves unfurled. That wild and violent manner caused one to be scared witless.
