The headquarters of the Heavenly Thunder clan was located on the western province, one of the forty-nine great planes of the Saints' World. It was a plateau that was constantly enveloped by the power of lightning.
The Laws of Lightning were extremely dense there. All cultivators who comprehended the Laws of Lightning would be able to achieve twice the results with half the effort if they cultivated there.
In the depths of the plateau that was surrounded by the power of lightning, there were two dazzling, violet seas of lightning. Not only was the power of the Laws of Lightning there shockingly dense, but even the level of the power of laws was enough to make any Chaotic Prime pale.
This was because even a sliver or strand of the Laws of Lightning that filled the place was enough to injure Chaotic Primes.
To no surprise, the two seas of lightning were where the two ancestors of the Heavenly Thunder clan cultivated.
As for the sea of lightning, it was not naturally formed by the world. Instead, it was formed by the laws of the two great ancestors. With just a thought, any one of them could form a world of lightning.
Suddenly, the two seas of lightning shuddered together. In the next moment, an overwhelming presence radiated out, blotting out the sky. All the ancestors on the western province opened their eyes and glanced in the direction of the Heavenly Thunder clan.
"Elder Rong is actually dead …" A deep voice rang out from one of the seas of lightning in the depths of the headquarters of the Heavenly Thunder clan.
"Elder Rong's Thunder Soul Imprint has shattered. This is a sign that his soul has been destroyed …" The second ancestor of the Heavenly Thunder clan spoke from within the second sea of lightning. His voice was icy-cold, and it was filled with fury.
Elder Rong was a great elder of the Heavenly Thunder clan, a Chaotic Prime. No matter which peak organisation it was, someone like that would be a pillar of support for the clan. They could not afford to lose him.
As one of the peak organisations in the western province, the Heavenly Thunder clan only had eight great elders who were Chaotic Primes in total. Losing even one of them was a great loss.
"Elder Rong went to the ruins of the Spirits' World. He died there. Was he killed by someone, or did he die in the cruel environment there …"
"Elder Rong wasn't a reckless person. With his cultivation as a Fifth Heavenly Layer Chaotic Prime, it's impossible for him to die in such a horrible environment. He was probably killed by someone …"
"How can this be? Since this person has the ability to kill elder Rong, how can he not know about the background of our Heavenly Thunder clan …"
The two ancestors of the Heavenly Thunder clan discussed sternly. They even began to peer into the heavens in an attempt to understand the circumstances behind elder Rong's death, but they found nothing in the end.
At this moment, an Infinite Prime elder of the Heavenly Thunder clan rushed over with lightning speed. He knelt down very far away from the two seas of lightning. There was some fear and panic on his face as he said, "Ancestor, we've just received an urgent request for help from the great elder. H- he encountered life-threatening danger in the burial region of the Spirits' World."
The Infinite Prime elder was extremely frightened. After all, this was a great elder who was a Chaotic Prime. People like that were supreme existences in the Heavenly Thunder clan. They could do whatever they wanted, yet now, they had sent an urgent request for help. This was something that had never happened in the past several millennia.
"The burial region? Hmph, Old Man, I'd like to see who's bold enough to kill a great elder of our Heavenly Thunder clan. Get Suo Luo, Lian Chi, Lei Jidong, and Lei Shun to go there personally and investigate the cause of elder Rong's death … "An ancestor of the Heavenly Thunder clan immediately passed down orders. Out of the four great elders, one was a Ninth Heavenly Layer Chaotic Prime, two were at the Seventh Heavenly Layer, and one was at the Sixth Heavenly Layer.
Out of the eight great elders of the Heavenly Thunder clan, three were late Chaotic Primes, two were mid Chaotic Primes, and three were early Chaotic Primes.
With that, the Heavenly Thunder clan sent out all their powerful great elders, only leaving behind the three early Chaotic Primes to watch over the clan.
Immediately, the four great elders set off together. Due to the urgency of the matter, they did not travel through space. Instead, they directly took teleportation formations and hurried to the boundary between the Saints' World and the Spirits' World as quickly as possible. They arrived at the ruins of the Spirits' World through a spatial tunnel before moving with lightning speed towards where elder Rong had been buried, the burial region.
Over a dozen days later, the four great elders of the Heavenly Thunder clan finally arrived at the place where elder Rong had died. As soon as they arrived, they saw elder Rong's corpse. It was not just elder Rong. There were also the corpses of the two ordinary elders and several hundred clansmen. They were all lying there in the same state as before.
Nearby, a white-clothed woman had her back to them. She sat on a rock and cultivated. A white crystal hovered above the white-clothed woman's head. Extremely pure energy radiated from the crystal, forming a barrier of light. The white-clothed woman absorbed all of it like a whale sucking in water.
The white crystal became smaller and smaller as the energy was constantly drained away.
The woman in white did not seem to sense the arrival of the four great elders at all. She continued to cultivate by herself. She did not even open her eyes.
"Were you the one who killed the great elders of our Heavenly Thunder clan?" The four great elders all looked at the woman in white as they asked coldly. However, the four of them secretly became vigilant as if they were about to face a great enemy.
Even the strongest among them, the Ninth Heavenly Layer Chaotic Prime great elder, became extremely stern at that moment.
This was because they could tell with a single glance just how clean elder Rong's death had been. His clothes were neat, and the surroundings were as good as new. There were no signs of battle at all. Only Grand Primes could achieve something like that.
Moreover, the woman in white was far too composed. She did not leave even after killing a great elder of the Heavenly Thunder clan. Instead, she remained where she was. She did not worry about the arrival of reinforcements at all.
There were only two possibilities for her to do that. Firstly, she had not expected reinforcements at all. Secondly, she was so powerful that she did not need to fear any reinforcements from the Heavenly Thunder clan.
It was impossible for a Fifth Heavenly Layer Chaotic Prime who could kill elder Rong so easily to be as stupid as the first possibility. That only left the second possibility.
"Sigh, is it just the four of you? Not a single Grand Prime from your clan has come? " At this moment, the white clothed woman let out a sigh, and it carried a sense of loss and regret that could be heard by anyone.
However, when the four great elders of the Heavenly Thunder clan heard what she said, their expressions immediately changed drastically.
"Oh no, it's a trap. It's a trap. This person definitely has the power to take on our ancestor. S- she actually wants to lure our ancestor over. Run! Run! Scatter and run …" The Ninth Heavenly Layer Chaotic Prime from the Heavenly Thunder clan basically roared out.
Elder Rong's death, the white-clothed woman's calmness, and her last words allowed the four elders to instantly deduce the white-clothed woman's strength. This terrified the four supreme elders of the Heavenly Thunder Clan.
