Even with their speed, the three could not stop Sun Zhe's castration in such a sudden moment. They came to a hard stop before the cliff, watching helplessly as Sun Zhe jumped into the abyss, instantly swallowed by the endless Purple Thunder. No matter how strong they were, facing the terrifying Thunder Abyss left them with no way out.
"Damn it, this guy is decisive; he died so easily!" Aoye cursed rudely as he watched Sun Zhe engulfed by the abyssal thunder. He had originally planned to torment Sun Zhe to avenge the humiliation from the Three Sect Competition, but he never expected Sun Zhe to jump into the Thunder Pool himself, completely ruining his original plan.
"This is also good; it saves us a lot of trouble..." After staring at the abyss for a while, seemingly confirming that Sun Zhe could not possibly survive inside, Zhou Hanbin let out a light breath and spoke calmly.
As for Sun Zhe's last words, no one took them seriously.
Upon hearing Zhou Hanbin's words, Aoye and Tong Yuan were slightly taken aback but quickly reacted. Although Sun Zhe was severely injured now, if he truly self-destructed his Dantian to fight back, the three of them would probably not be as safe as they were now.
"Hmph, such a comfortable way to die; you could say you're lucky..." Despite saying this, Aoye still felt some unwillingness in his heart. Suddenly, he looked up and saw the Thunder Spirit Ancient Tree in the center of the abyss. Especially when he noticed the fist-sized Thunder Spirit True Fruits on the ancient tree, an unmistakable greed flashed in his eyes.
The rarity of Thunder Spirit True Fruits was beyond measure, and this Thunder Spirit Ancient Tree stood a thousand feet tall, bearing an overwhelming number of Thunder Spirit True Fruits. With so many Thunder Spirit True Fruits in front of him, Aoye couldn't help but be tempted.
"Brother Zhou, about these Thunder Spirit True Fruits..." As he spoke, both Aoye and Tong Yuan turned their gazes toward Zhou Hanbin, clearly indicating their intent to share.
Zhou Hanbin understood what Aoye and Tong Yuan meant. He knew they couldn't possibly be indifferent to such precious Spiritual Artifacts. However, things were not as simple as they imagined... With a slight smirk at the corner of his mouth and a hint of mockery in his eyes, Zhou Hanbin asked them nonchalantly,
"Brother Ao, this Northern Mang Secret Realm opens once every ten years, but these Thunder Spirit True Fruits only bear fruit once every hundred years. Do you really think that those who entered the secret realm before us didn’t discover this Thunder Spirit Ancient Tree or that they had no interest in these Thunder Spirit True Fruits? Or perhaps we just happened to encounter them right after they had just grown?"
"Uh..." Aoye was immediately speechless. Indeed, if that were the case, there probably wouldn't be any left by now. As for the latter possibility, it was negligible and could basically be ignored.
Looking at the purple abyss filled with lightning before him, Zhou Hanbin's face flashed with a hint of reluctance as he spoke softly,
"The Thunder Spirit True Fruit is indeed tempting to me... but as far as I know, this Thunder Spirit True Fruit has been discovered multiple times, and there have always been arrogant individuals who attempted to pick it. Unfortunately, they all met their demise in the Thunder Pool... According to my Third Uncle, even experts at the Thunder Lord Stage may not be able to obtain a single Thunder Spirit True Fruit here."
"Hiss..." Upon hearing Zhou Hanbin's words, Aoye and the others couldn't help but gasp in shock. If even experts at the Thunder Lord Stage couldn't obtain a Thunder Spirit True Fruit, that was indeed alarming. These were top-tier experts capable of manipulating objects from afar and killing invisibly.
"Brother Zhou, are you joking? The strong ones of the Realm of the Thunder Lord are figures we look up to. The Beast Taming Sect is so powerful precisely because they have experts from the Realm of the Thunder Lord backing them. How could Thunder Lord Stage experts be so ineffective..." Tong Yuan frowned and couldn't help but speak up. The Realm of the Thunder Lord was his lifelong goal, and hearing Zhou Hanbin's words made him feel somewhat uncomfortable.
However, before his words could fully dissipate, a sudden commotion erupted in the Thunder Abyss ahead, accompanied by the rumbling of thunder. Purple arcs of electricity surged out of the Thunder Pool like waves, quickly enveloping the entire area. Startled, everyone looked up to see a massive purple figure leaping out from the abyss. An intimidating aura surrounded this giant shadow. Upon closer inspection, it was revealed to be a colossal beast made entirely of lightning, though its form was indistinct. Despite not being able to clearly see its shape or features, the overwhelming presence of this beast left everyone in shock.
"This..." The expressions on their faces were filled with astonishment as they murmured to themselves.
But this was just the beginning. Amidst their shocked gazes, more and more Purple Giant Shadows emerged from the Thunder Abyss—ten, a hundred, hundreds... Eventually, these purple beast shadows filled the sky above the Thunder Abyss. A rough count revealed there were definitely no fewer than a thousand. Although their sizes varied, each one radiated an intense aura of thunder. The overwhelming Thunder Might instantly enveloped an area spanning hundreds of miles, causing all living beings to tremble in fear and prostrate themselves on the ground. Even the sky seemed to cower as the clouds vanished completely.
However, these purple beast shadows did not rush out from above the Thunder Abyss. After leaping out one by one, they all surged toward the central Thunder Spirit Ancient Tree. Their speed was astonishing; in a flash of light and shadow, Aoye and his companions couldn't discern what they had done. When they looked again, they found that they had returned to the Thunder Abyss.
"What... what are these?" After a moment of silence, Zhou Hanbin finally couldn't contain his astonishment and muttered to himself.
"Look! The Thunder Spirit True Fruits on that ancient tree are missing many... Those purple creatures just went to take the Thunder Spirit True Fruits!" Aoye suddenly shouted, pointing at the Thunder Spirit Ancient Tree in the Thunder Abyss with disbelief written all over his face.
Hearing Aoye's shout, Zhou Hanbin and the others turned their gaze toward the Thunder Spirit Ancient Tree and realized that indeed many of the Thunder Spirit True Fruits had disappeared after what had just transpired.
"Could it be... that those Thunder Spirit True Fruits are food for those purple creatures..."
"These Purple Giant Shadows may be the legendary Thunder Beast Souls, which feed on Thunder Spirit True Fruits and reside within the Thunder Spirit Ancient Tree, waiting for rebirth in the Thunder Sea... With their protection, it is indeed impossible for experts at the Thunder Lord Stage to obtain these Thunder Spirit True Fruits..." Tong Yuan's eyes were blind, yet he seemed to clearly see the scene before him. He slowly spoke; his voice was calm, but Zhou Hanbin could clearly detect a hint of deep-seated fear within it.
"Thunder Beast Soul..." Zhou Hanbin murmured a few times. He finally understood why no one had ever obtained the Thunder Spirit True Fruits. With so many Thunder Beast Souls guarding them, who could take them away? Although he had not seen these Thunder Beast Souls make a move, just their terrifying presence was comparable to that of a Thunder Lord Expert among humans. Moreover, there were thousands of these Thunder Beast Souls, and there might be even more hidden within the Thunder Abyss. Just thinking about it made Zhou Hanbin's scalp tingle.
The few of them exchanged glances and saw the hesitation in each other's eyes. None of them wanted to stay in such a Cursed Place any longer; at any moment, a Thunder Beast Soul could emerge, and their lives would be over.
Nodding slightly, the three of them ran down the mountain together. As they left, Zhou Hanbin turned back to glance at the purple abyss once more, a strange light flashing in his eyes.
"Don't blame me; if you must blame someone, blame your surname Sun..."
