Sun Mingyue smiled at them and shook her head, "Is this the Nine Heaven Lightning Punishment?"
The two elders' faces darkened.
They had never seen something like this. The Nine Heaven Lightning Punishment was one of the heaviest punishments. No one could resist it. It was a God's punishment. They thought that even if Sun Mingyue could block it, she would lose half her life.
But now, it seemed like she wasn't injured at all. The Nine Heaven Lightning Punishment was a joke.
Sun Mingyue asked, "Is there a heavier punishment?"
One of the elders said, "Descending without permission is the Nine Heaven Lightning Punishment. It cannot be changed and it will not be increased."
Sun Mingyue smiled, "Then what if I descend again?"
"It will be two Nine Heaven Lightning Punishment!" The elder said, "I advise Territory Leader Sun to reconsider and not make a mistake!"
"I would advise the Council of Elders to reconsider!" Sun Mingyue chuckled and her face darkened. She said coldly, "Don't bring trouble to yourself. Do you really think you can hide in a corner?"
"Sun Mingyue, what are you trying to do?!" The elder frowned, "Not only are you breaking the rules, but you are also trying to go against the Council of Elders? … Last time, we didn't pursue the matter at the lightning pool because you didn't kill us all. It seems like not only do you not know how to be grateful, but you are also making things worse. You are raising a tiger that will only invite disaster! "
Sun Mingyue scoffed in disdain, "What Council of Elders? It's just a bunch of old men messing around!"
"Without the Council of Elders, the world would be in chaos!" The elder frowned, "If all the Empyrean Gods were like you, descending without permission, wouldn't the world be in chaos?"
"Then why weren't you afraid of chaos when you let Asura and the others descend?" Sun Mingyue laughed coldly, "You are just selfish and don't want the people from the world to come up!"
"That's true." Another tall and skinny elder suddenly spoke, "The Human Realm Beyond Heaven is completely different from the world below. Plus, the spiritual energy in the Human Realm Beyond Heaven is limited. The more people there are, the thinner the spiritual energy."
Sun Mingyue said, "So you want to monopolize this realm and don't want the people from the world below to come up?"
"Exactly." The tall and skinny elder said calmly, "However, it is also out of benevolence. The physique of the people of the lower realm is too weak. Once they enter the Sky Beyond Heaven, they will immediately explode and die. Of course, there is also selfishness in not wanting the people of the lower realm to come up."
Chu Li glanced at the tall and thin elder.
One of them played the good cop, while the other played the bad cop. They had great teamwork.
Sun Mingyue said, "The power of the Elders Council is too great. Moreover, all of you are sneaking around in the dark. It's really annoying!"
"Chi!" Another old man sneered and said, "What big words. Could it be that Sun Mingyue wants to control the Elder Council? Since ancient times, no one has been able to control the Elders Council! "
Sun Mingyue said coldly, "Who wants to control you old bones!"
"Realm Lord Sun, let me give you a piece of advice." The tall and thin elder said calmly, "Although your martial arts are strong and your Great Light Surpassing State is strong, don't challenge the authority of the Elders Guild. The authority of heaven is unpredictable!"
Sun Mingyue said, "Then I want to see the prestige of your Elder Council. I'm going to the lower realms now!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she disappeared in a flash.
Chu Li narrowed his eyes and shook his head.
The two old men's faces were gloomy. They glanced at Chu Li and disappeared too.
The next moment, Chu Li appeared at the Thunder Pool.
He stood in the air with his hands behind his back and looked at the towering peak.
The peak seemed to pierce through the sky, faintly merging with the sky. The peak contained an astonishing power as if it could destroy heaven and earth.
His intuition was getting sharper. He could feel the power contained in the peak from afar. It seemed that Sun Mingyue did not completely destroy the foundation of the Thunder Pool when she brought Ji Ming Fei and the other three women here. The foundation was still there and the top-notch masters were still there. It was no wonder that she dared to use the Nine Heaven Thunder Punishment.
It seemed that the Thunder Pool was controlled by the Elders Guild and Song Wuji had a deep relationship with the Elders Guild.
He frowned.
Martial arts was not omnipotent. If one was the best in the world, everything could be easily achieved. This was just a pipe dream. The human heart was complicated and unpredictable. Not everyone was afraid of death and not everything could be solved with martial arts.
Take the Thunder Pool for example. It had almost been destroyed by Sun Mingyue. Logically, it should be safe and far away from Sun Mingyue. Yet, it dared to use the Nine Heaven Thunder Punishment on Sun Mingyue. It was courting death.
Chu Li felt that something was wrong with this unusual behavior. He rushed over to take a look before Sun Mingyue did.
Sure enough, this was a trap waiting for Sun Mingyue.
Sun Mingyue's cultivation level was much higher than before. She could withstand the Nine Heaven Thunder Punishment but she could not withstand this destructive power.
Chu Li's face darkened but he did not rush in.
Even if he was the best in the world, he was not immortal. He had to be careful or else he would not be far from death.
The Omniscient Mirror shone in all directions. Soon, he could see the entire peak clearly.
The formation could not stop the Omniscient Mirror. Chu Li's spiritual energy was now ridiculously strong. Although the Thunder Pool's protective formation was strong, it could not stop his observation.
The peak of the giant mountain was a sunken basin, and the basin was emitting a blue light, like a basin filled with seawater. The blue light was deep and beautiful, moving people's hearts.
Chu Li knew that this was the real Thunder Pool.
Due to the terrain and the unknown power, even the natural formation, the thunder would gather here.
The thunder that appeared in the lower realm was sometimes the thunder that appeared naturally between heaven and earth. Sometimes, it was the thunder here. It was just that because it was in the upper realm, the lower realm could not distinguish it.
The Omniscient Mirror observed the Thunder Pool but it was blocked by an invisible force. He could only see a deep blue with a faint silver light. It was like a silver dragon swimming in the blue sea.
Chu Li sighed. The power of the thunder was indeed the power of heaven and earth. It still resisted the observation of the Omniscient Mirror even though there was not much thunder here.
Last time, Ji Ming Fei and the others had already released half of it. This time, the Nine Heaven Thunder Punishment had also released half of it.
There were nine elders at the peak. They were pale as they sat on the boulder. The boulder circled the basin in a mysterious position. The nine elders' aura seemed to be connected to the thunder in the basin. It was hard to tell them apart.
Chu Li nodded.
The cultivation level of these nine people was high. They also cultivated a special skill that allowed them to control thunder. They could attack enemies from afar from the Thunder Pool. This special skill must have a huge price to pay.
Chu Li was sure that they could not use it more than a few times.
He looked up at the sky.
The real power that could destroy heaven and earth did not come from here. It came from the vague power in the sky. It was obscure and almost undetectable. However, it did not escape Chu Li's senses.
The Omniscient Mirror entered the minds of the nine people and instantly understood what they were thinking.
The nine people were prepared to die. They wanted to use a forbidden skill – Thunder God's Apocalypse to kill Chu Li.
Even though Sun Mingyue destroyed the Thunder Pool, they hated Chu Li the most. If Chu Li did not kill Song Wuji, the Thunder Pool would still be prosperous.
Chu Li scoffed. He was full of murderous intent.
In a flash, he appeared behind an elder. He picked him up and disappeared.
