Although the Hundred Cloud Gate and the Ten Thousand Yama Sect's forces were filled with undercurrents, no one was willing to lose their strength at a time like this when the Demigod rank magical beast was about to break through and various forces were vying for the Ghost King Cave.
Whether it was Ying Chuan, Ying Yue, or that old man Wan Tianchou, they only had one thought in their minds. The real battle would only begin after they entered the Ghost King Cave.
Yun Sheng also thought that compared to Wan Tianchou, the exploration of the Ghost King Cave this time was more about the other factions.
Yun Sheng secretly paid attention to the other factions that came from the eight counties of the Underworld. They were stronger than the Hundred Ren Sect and the Thousand Inferno Sect. Some of them had even reached the peak of the Martial God Realm.
In comparison, the few major forces of Jimo Prefecture seemed insignificant.
After getting a general idea of the strength of each faction, Yun Sheng and Ying Yue began to survey the terrain of the Ghost Water Stream.
The Ghost Water Stream was originally a stream.
The water that flowed here was black in color. The flow of the water was not strong, but it flowed all year round. The stream was about five miles long, winding and deep.
Aside from the demigod level demonic beast that was about to break through, there were also a large number of dense demonic plants growing near the Ghost Water Stream. Among them, the most annoying one was a demonic plant called the Throat Arrow Tree.
This demonic plant would shoot out a large number of sharp thorns at the slightest movement.
A person would be turned into a pool of blood if they were touched by the thorns.
Moreover, they had to be wary of the Valley Jellyfish that might suddenly appear in the stream.
This type of jellyfish could shoot out a very powerful large-scale ice magic that could freeze a person in an instant.
"That's the general situation. Looking at the signs, the demigod level demonic beast hasn't broken through yet." Ying Yue and Ying Chuan chose an open area with a good view five miles away from the Ghost Water Stream to set up camp.
Night fell. In order not to alarm the demigod level demonic beast, none of the factions dared to use magic formations or bonfires. They only ate some cold dry rations.
Around midnight, a commotion came from the direction of the Ghost Water Stream.
An angry cloud suddenly appeared in the originally pitch-black sky.
The roiling clouds were like a ball of raging flames, and also like a stormy sea. If one listened carefully, one would be able to faintly hear the rumbling of thunder within the roiling clouds. From this, one could tell how frightening the might contained within the roiling clouds was.
"It's the Heavenly Lightning of Darkness that only appears when the Divine Beast of Darkness breaks through!" Both inside and outside the tent, there was an uproar.
Yun Sheng and Ying Yue also came out of the tent.
Yun Sheng had encountered several Lightning Tribulations. The first time was when the Nine-leaf Purple Ginseng had evolved into a Divine Spiritual Herb. The second time was when Second Uncle Yun Canglang had broken through to the Martial Saint rank. The last time was when Grandfather Yun Bahe had broken through to the Martial Saint rank.
In comparison, each of the recent advancements was grander and grander.
All living things in the world had their own opportunities. Compared to plants, humans, and magical beasts, plants were the weakest, so the scale of their lightning tribulations was also the smallest.
The physical strength of humans was between plants and magical beasts, so the power of their lightning tribulations was also in the middle.
Magical beasts were a very special existence in the world. They had the strongest physical strength, but correspondingly, the difficulty of their cultivation was also the highest. This was especially so in a place like the Underworld. Magical beasts that had broken through to the Divine Beast of Darkness had committed many evil deeds throughout their lives. Therefore, the lightning tribulations they encountered during their breakthroughs were bound to be the most powerful.
The power of the Heavenly Lightning of Darkness was not to be underestimated. If it succeeded, that Demigod Magical Beast would break through the bottleneck of the Divine Realm.
However, if it failed, that Demigod Magical Beast would be consigned to eternal damnation, and its soul could only be used to add a portion of Dark Energy to the Demon Subduing Stone Tablet.
The appearance of the angry cloud meant that the Demigod Magical Beast was about to break through to the Divine Realm.
This was also the best time to sneak into the Ghost King Cave.
"Look! It's that Demigod Magical Beast! "
Someone cried out in surprise. From the depths of the Ghost Creek in the valley, a beast roar that made one's bones hurt could be heard.
The silhouette of a Magical Beast that was the size of a hill rushed out from the rocky waters of the Ghost Creek.
Only then did Yun Sheng see the true appearance of that Magical Beast.
It was an Arrow-tailed Battle Rhinoceros. This kind of Battle Rhinoceros was a special kind of Dark Magical Beast of the Underworld. It was born to cultivate both magic and martial arts. Not only did it possess a terrifying Dark Dou Qi, but it could also use powerful Dark Magic.
With such an Arrow-tailed Battle Rhinoceros guarding the Ghost Creek, it was equivalent to having a Demigod Warrior and a Demigod Magician at the same time. It was no wonder that the forces of the Underworld's Eight Counties were unable to break through the Ghost Creek in the past twenty years.
Although the Arrow-tailed Battle Rhinoceros had appeared, no one dared to rashly approach it.
The Arrow-tailed Battle Rhinoceros was a Demigod Magical Beast. It had already gained human senses, and it also knew the power of the Heavenly Lightning of Wrath.
It roared, and a dark brown magic array appeared under its cumbersome body.
Pieces of heavy armor that looked like gold and stone immediately condensed on its skin.
Everyone opened their eyes wide, waiting for the first Heavenly Lightning of Darkness to fall.
Rumble!
The Heavenly Lightning of Wrath, which was several times thicker than an arm, struck the thick armor of the Arrow-tailed Battle Rhinoceros with a violent force.
The power of the Heavenly Lightning of Darkness fell. Even though the Arrow-tailed Battle Rhinoceros had already used magic to defend itself, the magic armor made a few cracking sounds, and cracks appeared on it.
Blood seeped out from the cracks. The Arrow-tailed Battle Rhinoceros felt a heart-wrenching pain. Even so, it endured and waited for the second Heavenly Lightning of Darkness to fall.
"Now's the time! Sneak into the Ghost Creek! "
When the major forces saw this, they were all overjoyed. They quickly rushed toward the Ghost Creek.
Yun Sheng, Yin Yue, and Ying Chuan looked at each other.
"There's no hurry. Let's wait for a while and see what happens." Yun Sheng shook her head.
Although Yin Yue was secretly anxious, she remembered that before they left, her father had repeatedly told her that after entering the Ghost Creek, she had to listen to Yun Sheng's orders.
She could only suppress the excitement in her heart and wait at the side.
Wan Tianchou was one of the first to rush into the Ghost Creek. He had already occupied an excellent position and led several disciples into the depths of the Ghost Creek.
The Arrow-tailed Battle Rhinoceros was still waiting for the second Heavenly Lightning of Darkness. Wan Tianchou saw an opening. He and the disciples of his sect leaped a few times and swept past the rhinoceros's field of vision.
In order to avoid the rhinoceros, the people of the Wan Yama Sect all walked along the banks of the Ghost Creek.
When they sensed the movement of the grass in the wind, the Howling Arrow Trees that were half a man's height on both sides of the bank shot out black shadows.
The black shadows were stained with the stench of blood and were extremely sharp.
Wan Tianchou had already anticipated the power of the Howling Arrow Trees, so he came prepared. With a roar, the fighting aura in his body suddenly exploded.
The might of a Martial God was not to be underestimated. An indestructible wall of fighting aura formed around him. The thick fighting aura instantly shattered the sharp, poisonous thorns.
