Death Grip
Everyone immediately looked in the direction pointed out by Xing Chen, where a Purple Longsword was floating in mid-air, its blade shimmering with light, occasionally releasing arcs of electricity.
The sword hovered silently in the air, yet it exuded an immense sense of pressure, making everyone feel as if they were facing a formidable threat.
"Could this be the legendary Thunder Punishment Sword?" Zhao Yiming stared at the longsword for a while, his face filled with astonishment.
The Thunder Punishment Sword is an ancient Divine Weapon, ranked among the Divine Rank. It is said that the wielder of this sword can control the thunder of the earth and enact punishment. This Divine Weapon is undoubtedly one of the best among Divine Rank weapons; there are very few in the entire Eastern Region that could surpass it.
Of course, this refers to the Ancient Times' Eastern Region. The current Eastern Region doesn't even possess a High-Level Divine Weapon, let alone a Divine Rank one. Although the sword sect is refining the Purple Extreme Thunder Sword, which is a High-Level Divine Weapon, it has not yet been officially completed, so it cannot be considered a High-Level Divine Weapon.
"Thunder Punishment Sword? Could it be the Divine Weapon held by the Thunder Punishment Emperor?" Qiu Pengchi spoke from behind Zhao Yiming, unable to hide the shock in his eyes.
The Thunder Punishment Emperor was one of the strongest figures in the Ancient Times' Eastern Region. His power was not only dominant in the Eastern Region but also among other territories. However, that was long ago; now, the Thunder Punishment Emperor has been dead for countless years. No matter how powerful he was back then, he is just a dead man now.
"No, it shouldn't be the Thunder Punishment Sword. Look, this sword appears somewhat illusory; it seems to be a Phantom of the Thunder Punishment Sword," Zhao Yiming said after staring at it for a while.
Hearing this, everyone observed that indeed, the Thunder Punishment Sword did have an illusory appearance. Moreover, although this Thunder Punishment Sword emitted great pressure, it was still within their capacity to endure. If it were truly the Thunder Punishment Sword, not only they but even those with Gaze of Fate might struggle to withstand its pressure.
"But even if this is just a Phantom of the Thunder Punishment Sword, given our strength, breaking through its blockade seems impossible!" Zhang Mengning suddenly spoke up from behind. Although the Thunder Punishment Sword before them was merely a Phantom, it was still something they could not contend with.
"No, if it's just a Phantom, we should still have a chance to break through," Zhao Yiming shook his head, revealing a contemplative expression.
The Thunder Punishment Sword before them was indeed a Phantom; however, even as just a Phantom, it could easily eliminate experts from Yang Spirit Peak.
While everyone was at their wits' end trying to devise a strategy, Xing Chen was already gazing at the Phantom of the Thunder Punishment Sword with gleaming eyes.
At the same time, he thought to himself that if his Thunderfire Divine Ring absorbed this Phantom of the Thunder Punishment Sword, it would definitely unleash an incredibly powerful strike—perhaps even stronger than an attack from the Peak of Fate Observation Realm accumulated over a thousand years.
With this thought in mind, Xing Chen's heart began to race with excitement.
"Everyone, staying here isn't going to help us. It seems we have no choice but to charge through; whether we can make it depends on everyone's luck," Qiu Pengchi said impatiently after half an hour.
He was originally a hot-tempered person, and now blocked by the Phantom of the Thunder Punishment Sword, with everyone unable to come up with a solution, his temper flared up again, planning to force his way through the blockade of the Thunder Punishment Sword.
"Don't be impulsive; this matter cannot be handled recklessly. That is the Thunder Punishment Sword, not something to joke about," Zhao Yiming said as he reached out to stop Qiu Pengchi.
However, although he stopped Qiu Pengchi, the Phantom of the Thunder Punishment Sword seemed to grow impatient at that moment. A sharp aura suddenly emanated from its blade, and arcs of electricity continuously appeared, causing everyone present to tremble in fear.
Whoosh!
At that moment, the Thunder Punishment Sword shot forward with a violent sound of breaking air, countless bolts of lightning striking down from above the passage, condensing on the Thunder Punishment Sword. In an instant, it seemed as if the Thunder Punishment Sword had transformed into thousands of thunders, ready to annihilate everything.
"Not good, retreat!"
Zhao Yiming shouted loudly, instantly retreating. The others also hurriedly backed away at that moment, but only Xing Chen stood there dazedly as if he were stunned.
Boom!
The Thunder Punishment Sword descended with thousands of thunders, striking not only Xing Chen but also surrounding Thunderfire Magma surged like waves, instantly covering Xing Chen.
As everyone stared blankly at Xing Chen being engulfed by the Magma and thunder, the Thunderfire Divine Ring in his hand was absorbing the countless powers of lightning and Magma.
When the Thunder Punishment Sword fell, Xing Chen did consider running away; however, that thought only flashed through his mind for an instant because he thought of a better plan.
That was to use the cover of thunder and Magma to escape from Zhao Yiming and the others while also replenishing power for the Thunderfire Divine Ring during the engulfment by lightning and Magma.
Such a twofold benefit was something Xing Chen would gladly welcome.
"Hurry..." In the endless lightning, Xing Chen urged the Thunderfire Divine Ring to crazily absorb the surrounding power while using the Thunderfire Divine Shield to protect himself.
Fortunately this time, the Phantom of the Thunder Punishment Sword did not directly hit Xing Chen; what truly struck him were only the lightning carried by the Thunder Punishment Sword and the surrounding Thunderfire Magma.
In just a few breaths' time, a large amount of power was stored in the Thunderfire Divine Ring. Xing Chen was confident that at this moment, the power within the Thunderfire Divine Ring could definitely take down a Peak of Yang Spirit Realm expert in an instant.
At this moment, Xing Chen also stopped using the Thunderfire Divine Ring to continue absorbing power. After all, the lightning and Magma had not yet dissipated, and the Thunder Punishment Sword had not reappeared. If he didn't run now, when would he?
If he waited until the lightning disappeared and the divine sword reappeared, he might not have the chance to escape. Therefore, without any hesitation, Xing Chen slightly moved his feet and instantly activated Shadow Shift, disappearing into the passage in a flash.
A moment later, when the lightning faded and the Thunderfire Magma settled down again, Xing Chen's figure had vanished without a trace.
However, Zhao Yiming and the others did not find it strange. After all, being struck by such terrifying power would undoubtedly lead to death for them as well. It was normal for Xing Chen to 'die' under such an attack; no one doubted that he was still alive.
Whoosh!
At that moment, the Phantom of the Thunder Punishment Sword broke through the Magma and reappeared before everyone. Countless Thunderous Powers began to gather again, and Zhao Yiming and the others' expressions turned tense once more.
In this critical moment, Xing Chen had already appeared in the Thunderfire Palace.
"Finally shaken off those people. Now I can search for treasures here by myself. Although it's a bit dangerous, it's better than being controlled by others."
Xing Chen entered the Thunderfire Palace with a faint smile on his face. The Thunderfire Palace was an unexplored place where treasures were surely hidden. However, after entering, he looked around but found nothing.
"Wait! There should be treasures in the Thunderfire Palace. Why...?" Xing Chen frowned slightly, a hint of anxiety flashing in his eyes. Although Zhao Yiming and the others were temporarily blocked by the Phantom of the Thunder Punishment Sword, no one could be sure whether they would die inside or avoid the Thunder Punishment Sword and come here.
To be safe, Xing Chen needed to quickly find the hidden treasure locations and take them away; otherwise, if Zhao Yiming and the others really came here, it would lead to many complications.
Although the power stored in the Thunderfire Divine Ring was enough to kill these people, it was Xing Chen's trump card and should not be used lightly.
After thinking for a moment, Xing Chen closed his eyes and slowly released his Soul Power. His Soul Power instantly covered the entire Thunderfire Palace and began to search little by little.
Gradually, he finally discovered some clues. For example, in the eastern corner of the Thunderfire Palace, when he used his Soul Power to probe there, he encountered an obstruction; that place was definitely problematic.
There was also something unusual next to the Golden Copper Pillar on the northern side; under his Soul Power's detection, he found more clues. Additionally, there were several other places where his Soul Power swept through but felt nothing at all, as if those places did not exist at all.
"Something unusual must be happening here; there must be something strange in these places." Xing Chen sneered, confident that his Soul Power had detected something hidden in these locations. There was an eighty percent chance that the treasures were concealed here.
"Let's start from here!"
Xing Chen slowly walked toward the eastern corner of Thunderfire Palace, where he sensed resistance with his soul detection. He focused intently on the wall in front of him but found nothing.
He reached out to touch it, feeling nothing unusual. A hint of confusion crossed Xing Chen's face as he released his Soul Power again to sense the area. Once he did, the resistance reappeared, and his Soul Power could not approach the wall at all.
Ninefold Thunder Palm!
A flash of purple light appeared in Xing Chen's eyes as he struck the wall forcefully with his palm.
A loud boom echoed, but the wall showed no signs of damage, not even a faint imprint from his palm.
This left Xing Chen astonished and even more puzzled. His Soul Power clearly indicated something was amiss here, yet no matter how he attacked or observed, he could not uncover any issues, which gave him a headache.
"What should I do?" Xing Chen's gaze flickered slightly as he contemplated.
"Do I need to attack with my Soul Power?"
