Chapter 409: Chapter 235: 30,000 Years of Waiting
WHOOSH—BOOM!
Gu Zheng’s figure flickered as he gave chase, tearing through the air with a piercing shriek.
Powerful Qi tore around him as he shot through the corridor, pursuing the two Fourth-Rank Undead Race Great Monarchs. He raced onward, flying through the vast, rolling mountains.
SWOOSH! SWOOSH!
WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
BOOM!!
Fierce gales howled, space shattered, and mountain peaks crumbled. All sorts of sounds echoed out, shaking the entire range.
The two Fourth-Rank Undead Race Great Monarchs were dead set on escaping, and for a moment, Gu Zheng actually couldn’t catch up.
He would burst forward, and the Fourth-Rank Undead Race Great Monarchs would burst forward in response.
Their speeds skyrocketed. Before long, both parties had exited the mountain range.
At the end of the mountains, a dark abyss, hundreds of zhang wide with an unknown length and immeasurable depth, suddenly appeared before them.
The two Fourth-Rank Undead Race Great Monarchs in the lead shot out of the mountains and plunged headfirst into the abyss, rocketing downward.
Gu Zheng paused for a split second before following them down.
Although the abyss was pitch-black, he didn’t sense any danger. His psychic premonitions gave him no feedback either.
With his Five Orifice Divine Techniques active, Gu Zheng could now instantly detect any crisis, which would be automatically fed back to him.
’No threat, no crisis. Of course, I’ll continue the pursuit!’
SWOOSH! SWOOSH!
The two Fourth-Rank Undead Race Great Monarchs sprinted ahead, continuously descending straight toward the bottom of the abyss.
But this abyss seemed bottomless.
Gu Zheng, chasing from behind, kept calculating the depth.
Ten thousand meters, twenty thousand, thirty thousand...
A hundred li!
Two hundred li!
Five hundred li!
Six hundred li!
He had plunged downward for six hundred li, yet he still hadn’t reached the bottom.
The only change was that the temperature grew colder the deeper he went.
However, the visible cavern walls on one side showed no layer of ice or frost.
The two Fourth-Rank Undead Race Great Monarchs in the lead never slowed down. Whenever Gu Zheng burst forward, they would do the same.
Finally, as the depth approached a thousand li, massive vortexes appeared at the bottom.
The two Fourth-Rank Undead Race Great Monarchs dove headfirst into one of them.
Gu Zheng’s figure froze, halting in midair above the vortex.
Looking down, he could faintly see that the vortex led to a Thunder Realm. Streaks of silver and blue lightning shot through it rapidly.
The Fourth-Rank Undead Race Great Monarchs entered the Thunder Realm and vanished from sight.
Gu Zheng focused his senses. Still no warning of danger.
Without hesitation, he descended into the vortex.
’Fourth-Rank Undead Race Great Monarchs are far too destructive. If I don’t eliminate them completely and they manage to reach the mortal world through a Tunnel Between Two Realms, countless people in Muzhou will die.’
Gu Zheng had already slaughtered over a hundred thousand of the Undead Race, nearly wiping them out entirely.
The two fleeing Fourth-Rank Undead Race Great Monarchs would definitely seek revenge.
’For that reason, they must die!’
CRACKLE! POP!
BOOM! BOOM!
Arcs of electricity bloomed, and lightning danced.
After passing through the vortex and entering the dense Thunder Realm, Gu Zheng immediately retracted his other Domains, maintaining only the Silent Extinction Thunder Realm.
The surrounding bolts of lightning were instantly drawn to the Silent Extinction Thunder Realm, striking it only to be absorbed.
With a slight manipulation, Gu Zheng could rapidly generate the Power of Silent Extinction.
It was as if the surrounding silver-blue lightning was recharging his Silent Extinction Thunder Realm.
The two fleeing Fourth-Rank Undead Race Great Monarchs were nowhere to be found.
The cracking thunder and sweeping lightning weakened the effectiveness of his Five Orifice Divine Techniques.
But Gu Zheng still managed to lock onto their position using the Demon-Seeking Pot.
The two had retracted their black mist and green glow, maintaining their humanoid forms. They were stopped less than a thousand meters ahead and to his right.
They didn’t even try to dodge the silver-blue lightning that struck them, instead taking the full force of every bolt.
CRACKLE!
BOOM!
As the thunder roared, Gu Zheng’s figure blurred and vanished from his spot.
When he reappeared, it was behind the two Fourth-Rank Undead Race Great Monarchs.
SHIIING!
The Heaven-piercing Halberd, imbued with the Power of Silent Extinction, slashed out with ultimate speed. Amidst the thunder, it sliced both Fourth-Rank Undead Race Great Monarchs in half with a single downward, diagonal strike.
BANG! BANG!
The two Fourth-Rank Undead Race Great Monarchs immediately dissolved into black mist and green light, with a faint red glow pulsing at their core.
"Human King’s Body, you can’t kill us."
Beneath the roar of the thunder, one of the Fourth-Rank Undead Race Great Monarchs endured the searing pain of the Power of Silent Extinction and sent a spiritual message into Gu Zheng’s mind.
"This is the Void Thunder Layer! If you kill us, the resulting energy shockwave will destroy..."
VMMMMMM!
Suddenly, the void trembled violently as a terrifying power surged up from below.
The mere aftershock was enough to throw the Thunder Realm into turmoil. Vast areas fell into chaos, spawning vortex-like tornadoes.
"What’s happening?"
The Fourth-Rank Undead Race Great Monarch cried out in astonishment via its spiritual message.
"Not good! The thunder layer has been stimulated—it’s about to explode! Let’s go!"
As the other Fourth-Rank Undead Race Great Monarch sent its message, it shot back toward the vortex entrance they had come from.
Gu Zheng also dashed away.
But it was too late for all of them.
RUMBLE—RUMBLE—BOOM!!
An earth-shattering roar was accompanied by dense, exploding thunderstorms. Huge swaths of space collapsed and reformed.
The void cracked open, spewing out storms of ethereal black wind.
The entire Thunder Realm shook violently, like a calm lake’s surface thrown into a rolling boil by an underwater volcanic eruption.
Gu Zheng and the Fourth-Rank Undead Race Great Monarchs alike were swept up by this "void turbulence," losing control and being tossed about aimlessly.
The vortex entrance they had come through, battered by the void storms, rapidly closed.
It wasn’t just that one; all the other vortexes in the distance closed as well.
In an instant, their way back was cut off!
Despite having no way back, Gu Zheng wasn’t panicked.
He maintained his Silent Extinction Thunder Realm. Inside his Domain, he was completely untouched by the void turbulence and thunderstorms.
The only problem was that he had no control and could only drift with the currents, sensing the changes around him.
