Chapter 997 The Mysterious Cave

The violent thunder punishment suddenly began to spiral and caused a tumultuous tornado on the island. Darren stood firmly on the ground and showed no fear.

Boom!

The first thunderbolt descended. It was ten feet thick, and it struck down like a heavenly pillar that collapsed.

Darren's eyes followed as he focused on the moving twister. He waved his palms in their air and motioned towards the violent thunderstorm.

In an instant, a powerful force stopped the thunder punishment in the air. The blazing lightning scattered in all directions.

"There will be three thunderbolts in this thunder punishment. The first one is the weakest. I can withstand it with my power."

Then, Darren waited for the second thunderbolt to descend.

Zap!

The dark and gloomy sky suddenly became as bright as day.

A broad lightning bolt rapidly struck Darren's head.

The power it contained was at least dozens of times stronger than the previous thunderbolt.

Whoosh!

The wind howled as Darren's body illuminated a blood red light.

"Come on!"

Darren let out a loud roar and rushed towards the second thunderbolt.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

In a flash, Darren hit the thunderbolt thousands of times.

The power of the thunderbolt disintegrated, but did not vanish. Instead, it transformed into small bolts of lightning snakes that crawled around Darren's body.

"Howl!"

The power of the thunderbolt was not reduced, and it was all over Darren's body.

His face twisted as relentless bursts of energy charged his skin. If the thunder punishment entered his meridians and his heart, he could really be in grave danger.

"My real body, do you need my help?"

the Rule Soul Avatar asked Darren as he witnessed everything that was happening.

"No need!"

Darren replied as blood light started to light up from his body.

Boom!

Then, the immense rays of blood light vigorously spurted from Darren's body. In an instant, most of the lightning snakes energy that surrounded him dispersed.

Then, Darren hit himself hundreds of times. The strength of each palm was just enough to break the lightning snakes without hurting himself.

Soon enough, the second thunderbolt was completely destr

ast a top holy emperor, ' he thought.

At that point, Darren wondered if the mysterious warrior was trying to reach the Super Emperor Realm.

The mysterious thunder punishment, after being weakened by the space-time whirlpool, still lasted for months, and its power was much stronger than the thunder punishments Darren had ever experienced.

Darren got excited. He hoped to encounter the powerful cultivator in the dark cave.

Four hours later, Darren and the avatar were still flying down the cave, but they were much faster. Soon they reached the bottom of the cave.

They found icicle-shaped formations that hung from the ceiling of the cave. The stalactite formations looked like a grand frozen grotto that was formed over millions of years ago. On the surrounding stone walls, there were many glowing gems, which illuminated the bottom of the cave.

They also found frigid pools of stagnant and clear water. There were small puddles that were so clear that they reflected the light from the stalactites.

A clear spring slowly flowed along the colorful puddles.

"I wonder where this stream leads to," Darren muttered. At that moment, the avatar used his silver eyes to look into the distance.

Darren knew that the Rule Soul Avatar was using his analyzing powers, so he did not disturb him.

After a few hours, the Rule Soul Avatar finally took back his gaze.

"Hey, you finished? Did you find something?"

Darren asked, but the avatar frowned.
