Chapter 270: Entering the Void Lightning Pool Again!
"Sigh..."
Ziyan suddenly let out a light sigh, and her expression turned somewhat melancholic.
"If only those elders hadn't left back then, there's no way Zhu Bei and those three would have had the chance to claim kingship and divide the Dragon Tribe!"
Her bright purple-gold eyes flashed with a hint of sorrow as she muttered to herself.
She was right!
As she spoke, Ziyan's petite body trembled slightly, and a trace of pain flickered in her eyes, clearly thinking about her father, who was trapped in the Ancient God's Space.
Seeing this, Gu Fei felt a pang in his heart.
"Don't worry, it won't be long before I collect all the ancient jade pieces..."
In the next moment, Gu Fei gently reached out, taking Ziyan's hand into his, and comforted her.
Feeling the warmth from his hand, Ziyan looked up at Gu Fei, and the sadness in her eyes gradually faded, replaced by a look of gratitude and trust.
She gave Gu Fei a radiant smile and lightly nodded.
Haha!
This girl is very strong inside. It seems I don't need to worry too much.
Gu Fei's lips curled into a slight smile. Cai Lin stood by, watching the heartwarming scene, with a flicker of complexity in her eyes.
However, Cai Lin didn't show any discomfort. Instead, she smiled warmly, feeling relieved. She knew that Ziyan and Gu Fei had known each other for a long time, going through so much together. Their pure friendship had long surpassed any romantic feelings.
Naturally, Cai Lin didn't feel jealous over such gestures. Instead, she was genuinely happy that Gu Fei had such a close friend.
As the three of them soaked in this peaceful atmosphere, an elderly voice suddenly echoed from the sky:
"Dragon Emperor!"
Before the voice had finished, a figure appeared in the sky above Ancient Dragon Island. It was a tall old man with silver hair fluttering in the wind. Though his face was wrinkled, his eyes were sharp, and he exuded a powerful aura that made people tremble.
The old man bowed respectfully toward Ziyan upon his arrival. However, his brows furrowed slightly when he saw the closeness between Gu Fei and Ziyan.
As an elder, he was fully aware of Ziyan's importance as the Dragon Emperor. If she were swayed by an outsider, it would be a tremendous loss for the tribe!
...
"I'm heading to the Void Lightning Pool."
A few days later, Gu Fei suddenly said to Ziyan.
She was momentarily taken aback but then recalled Gu Fei's past experiences in the Void Lightning Pool. She couldn't help but feel a bit worried. However, knowing his current strength, she realized that the Black Demon Lightning was probably no longer a threat to him. (TL/n: This should be his first time entering the pool right? I keep forgetting what happened early chapters- one of the downsides of translating so fast lol..)
"Be careful," she gently reminded.
Gu Fei waved with a smile and, in a flash, vanished from sight.
In no time, Gu Fei arrived above the Void Lightning Pool.
Looking out, an endless sea of thunder rolled beneath his feet. Countless bolts of lightning roared like dragons, creating an awe-inspiring scene.
Compared to before, Gu Fei now faced this grand spectacle of the Void Lightning Pool with much more composure.
His figure moved steadily across the pool's surface, and the enormous bolts of lightning, which flashed wildly, suddenly paused when they approached within ten feet of him before
retreating in a panic.
These bolts had sensed the power within Gu Fei that made them fear him.
Without stopping, Gu Fei headed directly toward the deepest part of the pool.
Protected by the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame, even the violent lightning bolts dared not come close. This scene was a clear testament to the Demonic Flame's rightful ranking on the
Heavenly Flame List.
Before long, he reached the pool's depths. Here, he saw patches of Black Demon Lightning, which were far more ferocious than ordinary lightning, each bolt containing tremendous
destructive power.
Gu Fei's presence immediately triggered a frenzy among the Black Demon Lightning. In an instant, dozens of bolts surged toward him, each one as powerful as a full-strength strike
from a One-Star Dou Saint.
Such terrifying power would make even Two-Star or Three-Star Dou Saints wary.
However, for him now...
Unless all the lightning bolts struck at once!
They posed no significant threat at all...
