Martial World's
Ch 196 - Thundercrash Mountain
…
…
…
The Vermillion Bird was about 50 feet long. It had a bird's head and a long red neck like a snake. His body was covered in feathers and flames enveloped his body. As it flew, it spilled a sparkling red light that crashed into the world. It was beautiful like a beautiful dream.
Even though she was very far away, Lin Ming could still feel Vermillion Bird emitting a huge pressure that made his heart pound.
Under the suppressive nature of this aura, Lin Ming's speed dropped. He glanced back at the little fire boy to see if he managed to catch up. However, he did not expect that little fire brat to be even worse. It completely stopped and stared with both eyes at the flying Vermillion Bird. Fear filled his face.
Lin Ming stopped. Mm? Is that scared?
At this moment, Vermillion Bird lowered his head down, facing the little fire boy. The little fire boy was frightened because of his wits. It let out a pitiful scream before turning around and running!
The speed of the little fire brat was much faster than when chasing Lin Ming! It had turned into a bright red light, and in just a few breaths of time it had already reached the forest and disappeared from sight!
Lin Ming was confused, why would it run?
Looking at Vermillion Bird again, it seemed to hesitate for a moment. Then, it no longer bothered the little fire brat and continued flying forward.
The way of flying in the air was filled with majestic elegance. Although it did not flap its wings very quickly, its speed was actually very fast. In just a few blinks of an eye, it had already flown past the horizon and turned into a small red shadow.
Lin Ming was somewhat confused. The little fire brat was clearly afraid of Vermillion Bird
Could it…
Of course, Vermillion Bird was a Saint Beast with fire attribute. The reason Chi Guda was looking for the Blackwater Swamp was to search for some feathers or flames that Vermillion Bird had left behind so that they could be refined into an eternal Flame Essence.
But on the contrary, the Flame Essence immortal flame could also be considered a good refresher for Vermillion Bird.
Flame Essence was worried that it would be eaten by Vermillion Bird, then it turned around to escape.
Understanding this, Lin Ming laughed. He launched his movement technique and followed towards the incoming Vermillion Bird.
The Vermillion Bird was extremely fast, Lin Ming was much slower. After an incense stick of time, Vermillion Bird had already disappeared past the horizon.
Lin Ming was afraid that the Flame Essence brat would return, so he launched forward at full speed and remained closed to the ground. He continuously changed direction in mid-flight and slowly descended into a thick patch of bush in the swamp.
The thick grass of the Blackwater Swamp was about 10 feet tall, not much shorter than a normal tree. Once one hid inside, it was akin to a rock being dropped into the sea. It is impossible to know where to start looking.
Lin Ming found a relatively safe place in the tall grass, took out a true essence stone, and began to meditate while recovering his true essence.
He held his entire breath together within himself and completely hid from the world. Even a martial arts expert who was examined with soul power would find it difficult to find him.
After a few hours, the night began to fall. In the Blackwater Swamp, nighttime was the most dangerous period. Lin Ming had to restore his strength as soon as possible.
An hour later, there was an explosive sound as the true essence stone broke apart. Lin Ming opened his eyes from his meditation. His power from thunder and fire had been restored, and he had also recovered his true essence.
As a dark night fell upon the world, poisonous insects and snakes began to crawl up from the Blackwater swamps. But since Lin Ming could fly, he did not care much about this.
He estimated that he was in the middle zone of the Blackwater Swamp.
The Blackwater Swamp was a thousand miles long and wide. If Lin Ming retraced his steps, he could return to the Blackmarsh Tribe. If he continued to advance, then he would reach Thundercrash Mountain in another 8 or 9 hundred miles.
Originally, Lin Ming had planned to go to Thundercrash Mountain after killing Chi Guda, to see if there was anything interesting there.
Na Yi said that Thundergrass grew up on Thundercrash Mountain. The old Thundergrass cost quite a lot of money. But, even a Houtian realm master would not dare to climb the mountain in a hurry. They would only search around the outskirts of Thundercrash Mountain.
Lin Ming did not believe that his own strength surpassed that of a Houtian master If he went to Thundercrash Mountain, it would also search on its edge. Unless he wanted to explore the secrets of Thundercrash Mountain, there was no reason to climb that mountain.
A dark night like a curtain illuminated by a bright moon. Lin Ming dashed over the tip of the grass with swift strides, soaring a hundred feet with each tap of his foot.
When he was several hundred miles away from Thundercrash Mountain, Lin Ming could already see a huge shadow that was illuminated by the pale moonlight. It's like a giant giant.
At the top of the highest mountain, a white light continued to light up. These were countless flashes of thunder.
At the peak of Thundercrash Mountain, thunder would never stop falling! Even in 10,000 years!
Thundercrash Mountain is the highest mountain in the Southern Wilderness. Its most famous peak was over 100,000 feet high and pierced through the sky. These peaks are higher than the clouds and experience rain and snow all year round.
The Sky Spill Continent was divided into six layers. The layer beneath the clouds was called Skyvault Heavens. This is where rain, snow, and hail form. There was nothing special about Skyvault Heavens. Other than being somewhat cold in a higher location, anyone could survive in the Skyvault Heavens.
9000 Feet above the clouds is the Calmstream Heavens. Here, a powerful heavenly wind blew nonstop. Even a Heavenly Wind Eagle would find it difficult to fly in the Calmstream Heavens.
30,000 feet above the clouds was the Primal Chaos Heavens. Here, the elements of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, thunder, and wind existed in their complete and vibrant state. It was a very oppressive place. Even a Xiantian realm martial artist, if exposed to the Primal Chaos Heavens, would be killed by the deadly Yuan Qi.
The height of the peak of Thundercrash Mountain at an altitude of 100,000 feet approached the Primal Chaos Heavens. Since the Summit was almost entirely composed of magnetic ores, it could draw the thunder power from the Primal Chaos Heavens, and thus form endless thunder clashes.
Lin Ming guessed that ever since the lightning endlessly struck the peak of Thundercrash Mountain, there was a high possibility that there was a Thunder Soul there. But even a Houtian master could only crawl up the mountain at his own risk. Since his strength was not as high as a Houtian master, there was no hope of obtaining a Thunder Soul!
Even so, Lin Ming still wanted to travel and see what was so terrifying about Thundercrash Mountain, and see if there was any possibility of obtaining the Thunder Soul.
Two hours later, Lin Ming arrived at the Thundercrash Mountain base. He discovered that there was actually a tribe here.
Although there was not much light at this moment, the tribal people had already begun to wake up to prepare for their workday. The peasants brought their tools and the merchants took their wares.
"They said that there were Thunder Lizards everywhere in Thundercrash Mountain. Were they not afraid that a flood of beasts would erupt at any moment? '' Lin Ming wondered. He searched for an inn so that he could rest and ascertain the situation before deciding whether he wanted to climb the mountain.
After entering the inn, Lin Ming was swept away with his soul force. To his surprise, he discovered that there were many martial arts masters in the inn. Even the innkeeper had a First Stage Body Transformation cultivation.
These people, are they here for Thundergrass?
"Young Hero, are you here for Thundercrash Mountain?" The innkeeper smiled as he asked Lin Ming.
"Md. "Lin Ming nodded. He had already removed his face cover and had lowered his cultivation to the Viscera Training stage. This was the cultivation that geniuses at Lin Ming's age should have.
Even if the Fire Worm Shaman were to come here, he would not be able to find him.
“Ah, heroes really come from the youth. Young Hero is so young but has reached the Viscera Training stage. Impressive, impressive. But, it was dangerous to go to Thundercrash Mountain only at the Viscera Training stage. Going for a bit of experience is fine, but if you want to pick some Thundergrass, it might be too much. ”
Hearing these words, Lin Ming was delighted. He lacked some information about Thundercrash Mountain, but it seemed that the innkeeper knew a lot about it.
He asked, “What is the use of Thundergrass? Why did so many people risk their lives to venture out on the mountain to retrieve it? But this kind of martial artist was extremely rare, and the demand for Thundergrass should not be too high.
The innkeeper was shocked, his cheeks were filled with a strange color. This little boy is quite interesting. He didn't know anything yet, he still came to Thundercrash Mountain.
He said, “Thundergrass contains the power of Thunder. They can be refined with secret techniques and transformed into Thunder Beads that are used to injure others. The strength of the Thunder Beads made by a 50-year-old Thundergrass was quite great. The power of Thunder Beads made from 100-year-old Thundergrass was even more amazing. In the Southern Wilderness there were constant wars caused by instability and chaos. The military was willing to obtain a large number of Thunder Beads to equip the troops, they were comparable to the most powerful arrows.
"So like this .." murmured Lin Ming as he studied.
The innkeeper said, “I have a pamphlet here that tells you about the basics of Thundercrash Mountain and famous places. Young Heroes can buy one for 50 gold. ”
"Good!"
Lin Ming was quite happy to pay the money. He received an introductory pamphlet for Thundercrash Mountain. The Southern Wilderness did not have a universal woodblock printing process, so the pamphlet was handwritten.
After Lin Ming read the book, he finally understood why even a Houtian realm master only stayed at the bottom of the mountain.
In the final analysis, the reason was because of the Thunder Lizards.
It was no exaggeration to say that the Thunder Lizard was the most ruthless ferocious beast of the Southern Wilderness!
A lizard is known as a four-legged snake. As the saying goes: A snake born with four legs is a flood dragon! The flood dragon with two horns is a dragon!
Lizards do have something in common with flood dragons. And the Thunder Lizards also had a flood dragon bloodline!
The strength of a savage beast with a Saint Beast bloodline could be imagined.
At the base of Thundercrash Mountain there were very few Thunder Lizards, and of the few there were, they only had a very thin and impure bloodline. These lizards were covered with white scales and they spat out white lightning. Their strength ranges from the Altering Muscle stage to the Bone Forging stage.
The higher one went, the stronger the Thunder Lizards became. On the side of the mountain, the Thunder Lizards' scale began to blush. This Thunder Lizard spat out a red lightning. The strength of the Red Thunder Lizard was the same as that of a Pulse Condensation Period martial artist.
The higher one was the Blue Thunder Lizards. Their strength was on par with the Houtian realm.
It was said that at the peak, there was the Purple Thunder Lizard, whose strength was equivalent to that of a Xiantian realm martial artist!
Seeing this, Lin Ming gasped. He had never seen a Xiantian realm martial artist before. He did not think that in Thundercrash Mountain, there would be an existence equivalent to a Xiantian realm martial artist.
If there really was a Purple Thunder Lizard, then the thunderbolt they could drop could even turn a Houtian realm martial artist directly into ashes!
Thinking this, Lin Ming frowned.
Compared to ordinary martial artists, he had the advantage. This was because he had the Thunder Soul within him, so he was not afraid of thunder too much.
But just because he wasn't too afraid didn't mean he was completely fearless.
Just a few hours ago, Lin Ming faced off against that little fire brat. The fire of the little fire boy was able to injure him. This was because the enemy also had a Fire Essence within them, and it was a Fire Essence that was stronger than the one in Lin Ming's perverted Seed God. Therefore Lin Ming was unable to control the flames of the enemy.
“In Thundercrash Mountain I have a much higher ability to survive than a normal martial artist. But if I want to rush to the top, there is still too much distance … "
"First of all I will go to Thundercrash Mountain base. After that, I will see how high I can climb.
