Chapter 3131: Fell Into the Pit
Chapter 3131: Chapter 3131: Fell Into the Pit
In the end, greed triumphed over reason, and the Shadow Sovereign let out a hysterical laugh, deciding to personally descend into the well.
"Shoo~~" He transformed into a stream of light and plunged unhesitatingly into the ’Thunder Well’.
After entering, his joyful laughter could still be heard.
At the same time, his voice echoed, "Peach, you’ve done well. Once I return, I’ll heavily reward you."
Though he said this, in his heart he had already decided that after he plucked the ’Ginseng Thunder Fruit’, he would kill ’Peach’, the person in the know.
Since ’she’ was no longer of use, there was no need to keep ’her’ around. Moreover, ’she’ had seen him about to acquire the Ginseng Thunder Fruit; if he allowed her to live, she could tell Fengtian, which would ruin his plans.
The Shadow Sovereign certainly would not allow this kind of thing to happen!
Thinking of this, the Shadow Sovereign laughed once more.
At that moment, his laughter echoed within the well, filled with the wild joy of impending treasures: "Ginseng Thunder Fruit, here I come!"
However, the laughter abruptly ended.
The scene below the well was completely different from what he imagined. There was no brilliantly dazzling thunder fruit, only a massive and indistinct creature in Pixiu form, eyes bloodshot, glaring angrily at this uninvited guest.
The aura of this creature made the Shadow Sovereign’s heart tighten; he realized immediately this was no ordinary being.
"Mental power, at least at the 50th stage!" The Shadow Sovereign was utterly shocked in his heart.
Even for a Sub Ancestor-level expert like him, facing such powerful mental power, he wouldn’t dare to easily claim victory.
This creature in Pixiu form was evidently the guardian of this Thunder Well, possessing formidable strength not to be underestimated.
Anger and despair intertwined, the Shadow Sovereign finally understood he had been played.
He roared, "Damn it, Peach, you truly deserve to die!"
At this moment, he still believed it was ’Peach’ who had harmed him, completely unaware this was all a trap carefully set by Lin Dong.
Far above the well, Lin Dong heard the Shadow Sovereign’s roar and a cold smile flashed on his lips.
He mimicked Peach’s tone, imitating her voice with remarkable accuracy, "Old thing, you think I didn’t know your earlier thoughts? Weren’t you just using me as a guinea pig, making me explore this Thunder Well for you? Now, reap what you’ve sown! Haha..."
Upon hearing this, the Shadow Sovereign was nearly furious to death.
He, a dignified Sub Ancestor-level expert, never expected one day to be toyed with by a mere existence at the First Level of the Heavenly Realm.
"Peach, when I get out of here, I’ll definitely tear you limb from limb!" he howled.
Lin Dong deliberately provoked him, "Can you get out? You better not be torn to pieces alive by that unknown creature in Pixiu form."
"I just got a treasure from it. It’s enraged right now, haha, Shadow Sovereign, you old thing, bear its wrath for me."
"Poo~~~" The Shadow Sovereign nearly spat blood in anger from Lin Dong’s words.
But after all, the Shadow Sovereign was a Sub Ancestor-level expert. At this moment, he suddenly came to a realization.
He discovered that the unknown creature in Pixiu form was actually entangled with two ’Spiritual Power Ropes’; the binding power of these ropes was strong. Although not set by a mental power monk of the 50th stage, it wasn’t far off...
Who did this?
His first thought was ’Peach’, but then he thought, how could ’Peach’ possibly set up such a method?
This could only be achieved by a mental power monk with extremely strong spiritual power.
The more he thought, the more surprised he became, a thought surfaced in his mind.
"You... How can you be a Spiritual Power Monk? You’re not Peach, who are you?" The Shadow Sovereign, actually from this point, discovered some blind spots. He started doubting Lin Dong’s identity.
Lin Dong said in the tone of ’Peach’, "I’m your mother."
The Shadow Sovereign was utterly enraged, wanting to slap Lin Dong dead. However, at this moment, that unknown creature in Pixiu form had already completely broken free from the two ’Spiritual Power Bindings’ that Lin Dong had previously set on it.
Since the Thunder Origin was taken, it was furious. And now the Shadow Sovereign had crashed right in front of it.
It naturally assumed it was the Shadow Sovereign who had taken its Thunder Origin.
So, it launched a fierce attack directly at the Shadow Sovereign.
"Boom~~~" Its giant mouth opened, spewing out a mental power.
That mental power directly transformed into ’Thunder Element’.
Converting mental power into elements, this technique requires a being with mental power exceeding the 50th stage to perform.
This technique was much more powerful than Lin Dong’s mental power thunder element, integrated into his Spiritual Power Method.
"Poo~~~"
That terrifying mental power struck the Shadow Sovereign, directly wounding his spirit and soul.
He spat a mouthful of fresh blood, face pale as he said, "Damn it, this unknown creature in Pixiu form has truly strong mental power."
"The power of mental power transforming into elemental power, only a being with mental power at the 50th stage can perform this. I can’t clash with it directly, it seems, I’ll have to use that thing."
In his heart, a strong desire to escape surged up; he didn’t wish to battle this powerful unknown creature in Pixiu form.
As a Sub Ancestor, naturally, he had some life-preserving trump cards.
Thus, he swiftly made a decision to utilize a life-preserving trump card passed down by an Ancestor-level powerhouse in his clan.
This trump card was personally handed to him by an Ancestor-level expert of the Dark Family.
That Ancestor-level expert was his elder and held him in high regard.
This was a protective talisman fused with ancient mysterious runes and the family’s bloodline power, named "Shadowy Escape Talisman".
This divine talisman was a seventh-grade top-level divine talisman!
Once activated, it would transport the holder to another space at a critical moment.
And it could temporarily isolate all perceptions and tracking, truly an escape supreme treasure.
Now, he only needed to transport himself out of the Thunder Well. Then he would be safe!
Because he knew, this unknown creature in Pixiu form, certainly couldn’t leave this ’Thunder Well’.
"As long as I leave this Thunder Well, I can survive..."
The Shadow Sovereign gritted his teeth, his hands quickly forming a seal gesture, the shadow power within him surging, all converging in his palms.
With a low murmur, the Shadowy Escape Talisman he had always kept close began to emit a faint blue light, the light gradually coalescing into a swirling vortex, seemingly connecting to a portal of another space-time.
Yet at this critical juncture of life and death, that unknown creature in Pixiu form seemed to see through his intention, suddenly emitting an earth-shattering roar, the sound wave materializing, cutting through space like a sharp blade, directly towards the Shadow Sovereign.
This strike not only interrupted the activation of the Shadowy Escape Talisman but also severely damaged the Shadow Sovereign’s spirit and soul, causing him to spit out another mouthful of blood, his face turning instantly pale as paper.
"Impossible! This..." The Shadow Sovereign looked in disbelief at the approaching monster, a sense of despair rising in his heart.
He understood, if no opportunity presents itself, today would be his last day.
Just at this critical moment, the Shadowy Escape Talisman seemed to sense its owner’s crisis, autonomously unleashing an unprecedented power.
The blue light burst forth, enveloping the Shadow Sovereign entirely, space seemed to tear at this moment, a powerful suction force yanked him into a twisted tunnel.
When the Shadow Sovereign opened his eyes again, he found himself already outside the Thunder Well, successfully escaping from inside.
As he emerged, he saw Lin Dong standing not far from the Thunder Well.
Lin Dong was somewhat surprised, not expecting that this old thing had some methods to escape from that unknown creature in Pixiu form.
Having narrowly escaped from the Thunder Well, the Shadow Sovereign was filled with hatred for Lin Dong.
He stared at Lin Dong, slowly speaking, "Dare to deceive me!!! No matter who you are, today, I’ll tear you limb from limb."
He looked at Lin Dong like he was a dead man.
In his view, even though his spirit and soul were wounded, he could easily wipe the other party out.
Lin Dong let out a cold laugh, leisurely replied, "Who will kill whom, that’s still uncertain."
Clearly, Lin Dong had no intention of letting the Shadow Sovereign go today!
Since he had been fortunate enough to escape from the Thunder Well, and didn’t die at the hands of that unknown creature in Pixiu form, Lin Dong decided to personally send the Shadow Sovereign to the other side.
He also wanted to see if he could kill a Sub Ancestor!
