Two days later, the Lei Chi Code will be opened.
Because they arrived late, the moment Chi Shang and the others entered the palace of Thunder Emperor City, they were already in a sea of people.
Looking around, in the huge square paved with purple crystal stones in front of the palace gate, hundreds of ghosts and spirits were scattered in twos and threes according to their respective circles.
The Santu River Basin is dominated by humans, while Shengtang and Hanwu are dominated by ghosts and spirit tribes respectively. Therefore, the number of ghosts in the square is obviously larger at this moment, and only about 20% are spirit tribes.
There were also a few ghost beasts and soul beasts mixed in the crowd, but most of them were followers of the human race. There were only a few dozen or so beasts that were powerful and unruly.
His eyes slowly swept across the square, and there was a hint of confusion in Shi Chishang's eyes.
You must know that those who are qualified to receive invitations and successfully arrive at Thunder Emperor City, even if they are not at the level of Tianjiao, are still rare and powerful. At this moment, among the hundreds of human beasts in the square, he is the only one who is at the peak of Pluto, and the rest are all It is the rank of Hades Emperor.
Of course, more than 60% of them are in the early stage of the Underworld Emperor, and about 30% are in the middle stage of the Underworld Emperor. There are more than thirty people in the Underworld Emperor stage, but there are only four or five people in the peak stage of the Underworld Emperor. Based on the area of the Lei Pond, there is a huge gap between them. The probability of encountering it is close to zero.
If it were in the human world, such a grand event gathering all kinds of forces, big and small, would definitely prepare an exclusive rest area in advance. However, here, let alone these fancy things, there are not even seats. Everyone comes to participate. The monks in Leichidian either stood or sat directly on the ground.
From this point alone, Shi Chishang could vaguely feel the arrogance of the royal family of the Underworld Thunder King.
As one of the local snakes in the Ming Lei Kingdom, the arrival of Du Anxian and others did not attract much attention. After all, although the leader Du Anxian was the biological son of the president Du Zhengting, he was obviously not taken seriously. He basically relied on A dandy who hangs around in the name of his father and brother.
On the contrary, Shi Chi Shang, who followed behind him and had fought with Jian Lie for hundreds of rounds, attracted a lot of attention.
What only made Shi Chishang slightly unhappy was that most of the people who came over looked at him with regret. Apparently they didn't think they could leave the Lei Pond alive under the double encirclement of Jian Lie and Young Master Yin Scorpion.
Curling his lips, Shi Chishang did not pay attention to the narrow gazes around him, but slowly glanced around, observing the people participating in the Lei Chi Ceremony this time.
There are currently two hundred and eighty-seven people present, divided into several groups. Among them, the largest group is undoubtedly Yu Hongyan, Yin Scorpion, four late-stage Hades Queens, sixteen mid-stage Hades Queens, and nearly forty others. In the early days of the Hades Emperor, he could be said to have strong soldiers and horses.
The ones who were slightly less powerful happened to be the royal family members of Lieshan Kingdom and Minglei Kingdom.
The latter, as a landowner, was led by the fourth prince Lei Hong and the thirteenth prince Lei Guhong; the former, as a fierce dragon crossing the river, was led by the eldest prince Lie Zhen and the eighth prince Lie Lu. The strength of the two parties was considered equal.
Lieshan Kingdom and Minglei Kingdom are adjacent to each other. One practices the path of fire and the other practices the path of thunder. They are both violent-tempered people. In the early years, the border between the two countries was in a state of war all year round, and they were fighting every day. They had a bloody feud with each other.
If it hadn't been for the rise of Emperor Taizu of the Holy Tang Dynasty later, sweeping across all directions, and the two countries were forced to surrender, I'm afraid the conquests would still be endless to this day.
After that, there were some small groups, such as Cheng Baihu and Xiu Wushou, two strong men who stood alone outside the crowd from beginning to end, obviously not intending to lead the group.
Shi Chishang was slowly observing the crowd when he suddenly felt a murderous intent coming towards him. He turned around and saw Lei Guhong staring over with cold eyes. Jian Lie and the pale-skinned Spirit Clan ghost were also standing there. Behind him, he also looked with murderous intent in his eyes.
Touching his nose, Shi Chishang chuckled and raised his thumb, then turned his wrist and poked downward with his thumb.
Seeing his provocation from a distance, Lei Guhong became very angry. He just glanced at Yu Hongyan not far away. Thinking that he had managed to sneak into the opponent's team through his connections, he could only suppress his anger first and turned to look at the pale-skinned man behind him. When the latter nodded knowingly, he withdrew his gaze with satisfaction, thinking about how to get in touch with Yu Hongyan later.
As time went by, ghosts came into the square one after another holding invitations. More than 300 ghosts gathered together. The gathering of ghosts was simply terrifying. From time to time, the wailing sounds of dead souls could be heard. It was clear that they were ghosts raised by many ghosts. The sound of the evil thing made Shichi Shang's hair stand on end and he shook his head.
clang! The loud bell rang from deep inside the palace, and for a while, the crisp sound of metal scraping against armor could be heard. Suddenly, groups of soldiers in the square turned around, exited the square not too neatly, and boarded the surrounding areas one after another. wall.
Seeing the movements of the soldiers, Shi Chishang's eyes narrowed slightly, and he moved half a step, getting closer to Du Anhe. The other two subordinates also held the sabers on their waists nervously, one on the left and the other on the right, protecting Du Anhe. .
Not only them, but everyone in the square looked serious, secretly mobilizing ghost power or underworld power, especially the retinue guards of each family, who were in full preparedness to prevent being attacked by others when entering the thunder pool.
After the first bell fell, eight more bells rang, all at long intervals between each other. The first bell fell and the latter one rose. When the nine bells rang one after another, a statue suddenly appeared above the square. The blurry silhouette of the giant beast's head looked down at everyone.
The phantom of the giant beast's head was too huge. Looking up from below, Shi Chishang felt that he was as small as a grass seed, while the giant beast's head was as huge as a mountain thousands of miles away. Although it looked vague and insubstantial, it contained There is an extraordinary but profound and boundless coercion.
"Time's up! Thunder pool, open!"
As the majestic and old voice resounded throughout the world, the phantom of the giant beast's head in mid-air finally made a move. The huge head shook left and right a few times, and then slowly opened its mouth, which was enough to swallow up the huge Thunder Emperor City. mouth, lowered his head, pointed at everyone, and bit into it suddenly.
Although Du Anxian had already told Shi Chishang about the opening of the Leichidian, Shi Chishang still instinctively raised his soul power when he was in the direction of the huge mouth. If he hadn't been determined, he would have been unable to control the fear in his heart and drew his sword. Attacked.
Even Shi Chishang would be greatly shocked, let alone those who came to participate in the Lei Chi Ceremony for the first time, but the pressure emanating from the phantom of the giant beast's head was too strong, and the action of opening its mouth to devour it was too fast, and the square Before any of the monks could react, they were already swallowed by the giant beast's head.
In an instant, Shi Chishang's vision went dark, and he felt the space around him shaking violently for several times. The raging torrent of void flowed past him vaguely, as if he was being transported through space.
After dozens of breaths passed, the jolting feeling suddenly disappeared, and Shi Chishang finally regained his awareness of his surroundings.
Letting go of his soul consciousness, Shi Chishang carefully scanned his surroundings, his brows full of uncontrollable surprise.
At this moment, he was in a vast sea of thunder and lightning. The slurry-like liquid thunder seemed like real sea water, flooding the void here. The bright and alluring electric light was like a dense group of golden snakes, wantonly. Swimming in the ocean, sometimes they gather together like an electric dragon and sometimes they disperse like thousands of snakes running around.
This is the Thunder Pool, the ocean of thunder dedicated to thunder and lightning!
Everyone was teleported in together by the phantom of the giant beast's head, so they all landed here. After Shi Chi Shang floated up and glanced around, he saw a group of monks scattered around.
Floating down, Shi Chishang stretched out his hand to paddle across the seawater in front of him with great interest. The thunderous seawater actually looked like real water flow, making ripples with his fingertips. It did not hurt him at all, not even the slightest pain. No sense at all.
After thinking for a moment, Shi Chishang suddenly realized that he took out the invitation from his arms. Sure enough, it was some secret power contained in the invitation that made him immune to the damage of this thunder sea.
Just when Shi Chishang was still looking around like Grandma Liu, all the monks around him had already taken action.
The area of the thunder pool is extremely large, broad, vast, and boundless. The location where everyone is at this moment is called the "pier". It is located at the edge of the thunder pool. The concentration of thunder power essence here is extremely low. As you go deeper into the thunder pool, the sea water The more abundant the thunder power contained in it, the more conducive it is for them to absorb the thunder power.
Moreover, the deeper you go inside, the higher the probability of giving birth to a thunder soul, and the more opportunities you encounter.
Every time the Thunder Pond Code is opened, it will last for thirty days. As the saying goes, time is precious and treasures wait for no one. Shi Chishang is still lingering here, while others have already taken action, forming a team to rush deeper into the Thunder Pond.
Cheng Baihu, Xiu Wushou and other lone travelers were the first to act.
Cheng Baihu's whole body ignited with platinum flames, and a winged white tiger appeared behind his head. The powerful power of Gengjin surrounded him, directly breaking through the sticky and thick thunder slurry, and quickly disappeared into the distance.
As a member of the Shura clan, the Xiuwu beast has a strong body. It doesn't even use its energy. It directly drives its body and forcibly crashes into the thunder in front. With its powerful body, it rushes forward at a speed only inferior to Cheng Baihu.
The most vocal people were the people from Lieshan Kingdom, headed by Lie Zhen and Lie Lu. A group of more than ten people were covered in scorching flames and rushed forward. In the blink of an eye, they had disappeared into the depths of the thunder sea.
Looking at Lie Zhen and his group from a distance, Shi Chishang had doubts in his eyes. Although this group of people were all wearing red robes, there was a figure among them that gave him a familiar feeling. It was just that the figure was among countless fire monks. , his own Qi is also deliberately restrained. Even if his soul consciousness is strong, it is not easy to investigate rashly, otherwise it will easily alarm others.
Du Anxian was holding a map and seemed to be judging the direction. After a long while, he put away the map with a relaxed expression and said, "Let's go!"
In the distance, when he saw Du Anxian and the others leaving, Lei Guhong grinned and looked back. The pale-skinned soul of the Spirit Race immediately smiled scornfully, his figure faded, and disappeared in an instant.
But Yu Hongyan, Young Master Yin Scorpion and others who saw this scene did not say anything, but just followed the original plan and rushed to the depths of the Thunder Sea in a team.
Not long after, the originally dense crowd here had dispersed, leaving only the vast thunder slurry that had been deposited here all year round, still slowly surging and churning there.
