Poison God's Heritage Chapter 706: Thunder Domain

Chapter 706: Thunder Domain

The rods took in the lightning bolt with extreme ease. Channeling their powers through the s.h.i.+p and to the core at the back.

The Artificial Meridian and the ma.s.sive computing cube were relis.h.i.+ng in the energy given by the lightning. The Cube immediately began spiraling and twisting taking in lightning and transforming it into Qi.

The Qi was then pushed through a small spatial portal right into the Lord of Lords paG.o.da.

Though I'm not allowed to use the PaG.o.da in the entirety of the race, no one said that I can't charge it up.

After all, it needs planet core energy to function and with so much free energy I can pretty much charge up the paG.o.da freely.

The s.h.i.+p continued moving forward. While the booming sound of thunder never stopped.

The Thunder Domain loomed before us, a realm of untamed wilderness and primal energy. Dark clouds swirled overhead, illuminated by the constant barrage of lightning that danced across the sky. Thunder rumbled in the distance, echoing off the towering mountains that surrounded the domain like silent sentinels.

The landscape below was a patchwork of rugged terrain and dense vegetation, shrouded in mist and shadow. At first sight, I was amazed at how flora could even survive such a constant and endless barrage.

Towering trees loomed overhead, their branches twisted and gnarled as if reaching out to grasp the heavens. Vines snaked their way through the undergrowth, their vibrant green leaves s.h.i.+mmering with a faint luminescence in the dim light.

The green scenery was something I didn't expect.

After all, in an area full of thunder and lightning, nothing but charred trees and burnt leaves should ever remain.

However, this was not the case here. Which brought my attention to something interesting. Besides our s.h.i.+p which seemed to beckon more lightning than anything else in this domain. The lightning still fell down against the ground. Only it hit the exact same spots, over, and over, and over again.

Constantly, incessantly, and most of all repeatedly.

I pulled the s.h.i.+p down right into the dense foliage, which caused Law to question why.

"We're looking for a handkerchief, the chances of finding it at the center of the forest or at the edge is the exact same. So let's go down and start the search from there," I said as I moved the s.h.i.+p as close to the spots being stricken as possible.

Once we landed, Law was about to leave, only for me to stop him. "You'll get fried the moment you leave the s.h.i.+p, let's understand our surrounding first." I said

Law looked at me weirdly then said, "Remember something about being lucky?"

"Oh… I keep forgetting that, regardless there is no reason to be struck by lightning. Let me understand something first." I said and began using my Divine Sense to see what was going on around us.

Amidst the dense foliage, strange and exotic creatures prowled the land, their forms blending seamlessly with their surroundings. Serpentine creatures slithered through the shadows, their scales s.h.i.+mmering with an iridescent sheen. Hunting for small game. While thunder frogs croaked with the sound of thunder itself all around us.

Lightning beetles flew all over the place and some smaller scaly lizards were also crackling with kinetic energy.

Above, flocks of thunderbirds soared through the stormy skies, their wings beating in perfect harmony with the rumble of thunder. Their cries echoed through the air, a haunting melody that spoke of untold mysteries and ancient secrets.

But amidst the chaos and danger, there was a strange beauty to the Thunder Domain. The air was alive with the scent of ozone and rain, a heady mixture that invigorated the senses and filled the soul with a sense of awe and wonder. And as lightning illuminated the landscape in brilliant flashes of light, it cast the world in a surreal glow, painting the world in shades of silver and blue.

My Divine Sense caught everything around me including the cultivators who were aimlessly moving around, turning rocks and trees upside down to find the handkerchief.

But I wasn't interested in that. If the handkerchief was just randomly thrown around here, it would probably take years for anyone to find it. So, I wasn't in a rush.

What was interesting for me was the ma.s.sive metallic rod that looked like a crystal formation next to us.

This thing was taking in the lightning strikes constantly. It was the only thing that's being struck over and over again in this area.

"Seems that this is what's discharging lightning to the ground," I said as I opened the gate.

"Didn't you say to not go out?" Law asked.

"Not here, it's safe. After all, that ma.s.sive metallic structure is eating up all the lightning, not even my s.h.i.+p's rods are being struck by lighting since this thing is taking all of it."

"That is indeed interesting," Law said as he hopped off the s.h.i.+p.

"That is not something I've seen before," he added.

"Neither had I, I could probably use something like this. It's conductivity must be through the roof. Still," I said as I looked around, "This is far too 'safe' for it to be called the Thunder Domain," I said.

"Because we're still at the edge," Law said. "My master had told me about his venture here once."

"Tell me all you know," I said.

"Well, it goes something like this…"

"Seems that our contestants are having a rough time in the Thunder Domain," The commentator said as several cultivators were desperately running around from beasts and dodging thunderbolts.

"Without the Blue Sun's protection, I doubt any of them would have survived there," Eccentric Long said.

"What do you mean?" the commentator asked.

"The protection itself works as a barrier that stops the more dangerous of lightning bolts from coming down at them. It hides their presence from the lightning and from the beasts around them. It is a very powerful blessing of sort, but it requires a st.u.r.dy body to host it," Eccentric Long said.

"Then how come they are fine?" the commentator said as he pointed at Shen Bao and Law who were casually moving about around the ma.s.sive metallic formation.

"Well, fine is something very… temporary. What they're in front of is not something that will protect them, since the real bolts have yet to start coming down. Right now, they're at the waning phase of the Thunder Domain. It's like the sea's tide, it goes up and down. For now, the ferocity of the bolts is very minor.

And once the atmosphere changes, the real danger of the thunder domain will reveal itself. Not to mention they're barely at the edge," he added.
