Chapter 4425
Welcome to Broken Bone Cliff!
The crowd gathered at the precipice, peering into the seemingly endless abyss below, their hearts racing with a mix of fear and anticipation!
Legend has it that this cliff was formed when two continents collided, creating a chasm so deep that it defied understanding.
How could such a stark contrast exist?
As far as the eye could see, a void of darkness loomed, obscuring anything beneath the surface!
It felt as though the entire continent had simply been severed at this very point!
The blackness ahead seemed to beckon, as if it marked the end of all things!
“How on earth are we supposed to go down? It’s far too deep…”
One person lamented, overwhelmed by the situation.
With everyone’s abilities suppressed, they were just ordinary individuals—who would dare to jump into such depths? The thought of being shattered into pieces was harrowing!
Not to mention the mystery of what lay below; it was a realm unknown!
“I can help you all descend!”
At that moment, the Thunder Beast spoke up.
Everyone present felt their powers curtailed, yet the Thunder Beast remained unaffected!
“That sounds fantastic! Please, take us down…”
One of the elder cultivators chimed in eagerly!
“However, carrying so many individuals down will take a toll on my energy, so…”
The Thunder Beast frowned, contemplating the effort required.
“Don’t worry! We will certainly make it worth your while. When we discover treasures, we’ll share them with you.”
The elder understood the Thunder Beast’s unspoken request and quickly assured it!
The other cultivators nodded in agreement, realizing that without the Thunder Beast’s assistance, they would be stranded here indefinitely!
“While treasures don’t hold much value for me, if you happen to have any spirit stones, I’d gladly accept those to replenish my strength,”
the Thunder Beast stated plainly.
Clearly, it was asking for spirit stones as a prerequisite for their descent.
Upon hearing this, the group of cultivators paused, exchanging glances!
Dividing treasures was one thing—those were enticing prospects—but spirit stones represented real, tangible costs.
Noticing their hesitation, the Thunder Beast added, “I’m not pressuring you. If you choose not to descend, just disregard my offer.”
“Alright, I’ll contribute…”
Some cultivators chose to part with their spirit stones in exchange for this opportunity to venture down!
In the end, some were willing to pay, while others hesitated, leading to a split; only half agreed to provide spirit stones, eager to uncover the mystery below!
Kai and Lin Keting also readied their spirit stones, but the Thunder Beast waved them off.
“You two don’t need to worry about it; we’ll manage this descent!”
With that, the Thunder Beast brought its twin hammers together gently.
Boom!
The earth shook momentarily, and a bolt of lightning struck, transforming into a sphere of light that enveloped Kai and the others!
The Thunder Beast skillfully guided the glowing orb as it began to descend slowly into the depths of the cliff, ensuring a careful pace!
After all, with everyone currently stripped of their powers, a misstep could lead to disaster.
Gradually, darkness enveloped them, and without their divine senses, they could see nothing with their naked eyes!
In this shroud of darkness, many felt a surge of anxiety, their breaths quickening!
Even Lin Keting clutched her life-preserving jade pendant tightly, her face a mask of tension!
“Miss Lin, there’s no need to worry; we’ll be fine,”
Kaixin reassured her.
Yet while comforting Lin Keting, Kai couldn’t shake off the grave feeling that loomed over him!
This unease was a nagging sensation, as if danger was lurking just out of sight!
Kai clenched his fists tightly, channeling all his strength into them!
As the atmosphere grew heavier with apprehension, some individuals resorted to silent prayers.
In the suffocating darkness, they felt like lambs awaiting slaughter!
Suddenly… Rumble!
A flash of lightning lit up the void for a brief moment!
Seizing the opportunity, the crowd caught a glimpse of the terrain beneath Broken Bone Cliff—an expanse of unsettling white, not snow, but a sea of bleached bones!
A thick, chilling Yin Fiendish Qi surged from the depths below!
