CHAPTER 1566: CHAPTER 1566: THUNDER AND LIGHTNING IN THE STONE CHAMBER

In this cave, it’s not just the Illusion Demon Bat that poses a danger; there are even more perilous entities. However, with Lin Chen leading the way, all these dangers were completely avoided, as under the scrutiny of Lin Chen’s Abyssal Eye, nothing could hide.

Moreover, in this cave, there are not only countless crises but also numerous treasures.

However, Lin Chen’s presence would not cause him to lose his head and rush directly upon seeing the treasures.

The locations of these treasures hold extremely formidable dangers, so formidable that Yun Feiyang, if encountered, would also find himself in a perilous situation.

Therefore, for certain crises, if Lin Chen is not confident in resolving them, he would have to forgo even the most tempting treasures, as his life is more important compared to those opportunities and treasures.

If it were any other martial artist, they might consider using their companions to attract monsters’ attention, then quickly flee after obtaining the treasures. But Lin Chen would never commit such acts of betrayal against his companions.

Thus, along the way, Lin Chen would only act swiftly with Zi Ling and Cheng Liang for treasures that he’s confident they can obtain, retreating immediately after succeeding.

Along the way, Lin Chen managed to gain numerous opportunities with Zi Ling and Cheng Liang.

Lin Chen brought Zi Ling and Cheng Liang meandered in the cave for an entire day, eventually delving deep into the cave before reaching an exceptionally large stone chamber.

The stone chamber in front of them was extraordinarily grand, sprawling a full hundred zhang in diameter, with a height reaching a hundred zhang. It’s hard to imagine such a stone chamber deep within the cave.

At this moment, countless stone pillars hung down from the ceiling at the center of the stone chamber, and in the center of those hanging columns was a pond made of white jade. The liquid inside was extremely clear and emitted an exceptionally intense aura of life.

Clearly, the liquid in this white jade pond was the legendary Water of Life.

Upon seeing the liquid in the jade pond, Zi Ling was overjoyed; she finally found the Water of Life she had longed for, and with it, her mother could be saved.

At that moment, Zi Ling couldn’t contain herself any longer. She paid no heed to anything else and immediately rushed toward the jade pond in the center of the stone chamber.

"Senior Sister Zi Ling, don’t act impulsively, investigate clearly before making any moves."

Seeing Zi Ling act so recklessly, Lin Chen realized that the sight of the Water of Life had caused her to forget their location.

However, when Lin Chen spoke to stop her, it was already too late, for Zi Ling had already leaped out, making it too late to prevent her.

Lin Chen’s expression turned grave; Zi Ling was so impulsive, but Lin Chen needed to remain steady at this moment and could not recklessly follow Zi Ling into the stone chamber. Otherwise, if something unexpected occurred, he couldn’t allow both himself and Zi Ling to be trapped, or else he wouldn’t be able to save Zi Ling and might even perish here himself.

Since Zi Ling had already rashly charged in, he could only watch how things unfold quietly now.

Upon arriving at this passage and seeing the stone chamber, Lin Chen had immediately noticed the liquid in the jade pond at the center was the Water of Life.

However, Lin Chen felt something strange about this stone chamber, planning to use the Abyssal Eye to explore it, but then Zi Ling had rushed over.

Before arriving here, the passage outside was already fraught with danger. Being located deep within the cave, how could it possibly be safe? If they acted as recklessly as Zi Ling, it’s likely the three of them would find it difficult to leave alive.

Buzz—

Sure enough, as soon as Zi Ling rushed into the stone chamber, countless purple lightning powers emerged within.

The lightning powers were incredibly powerful and violent, teeming with boundless energy, instantly blasting toward Zi Ling.

Although Zi Ling moved quickly, upon entering the stone chamber, she was still immersed in the joy and excitement of seeing the Water of Life, completely failing to realize the potential danger within the chamber.

Consequently, when Zi Ling sought to dodge the lightning, it was already too late, and she was promptly struck by the lightning right in the body.

Upon being struck by the lightning, Zi Ling’s whole being began to tremble.

After the purple lightning struck Zi Ling, it instantly vanished as if it never existed.

At this moment, Zi Ling’s body continued to tremble, seemingly having lost the ability to move.

"Senior Brother Cheng Liang, hold on here; I’ll go retrieve Senior Sister Zi Ling."

Seeing the situation, Lin Chen immediately made a move and swiftly approached the stone chamber.

Buzz—

Just as Lin Chen stepped into the stone chamber, the purple lightning power reappeared, instantly giving Lin Chen the feeling of being targeted.

Sure enough, once Lin Chen entered the stone chamber, the lightning powers promptly struck toward him.

"It seems that as long as you enter this stone chamber, you will be subjected to lightning strikes."

Lin Chen understood the restriction within the stone chamber, but fortunately, he was well-prepared. As the lightning powers coalesced, Lin Chen immediately grabbed Zi Ling’s arm and quickly retreated beyond the stone chamber.

Boom—

Yet, no matter how fast Lin Chen was, it was impossible to dodge the strike of the purple lightning.

However, Lin Chen never expected to evade the lightning strike. With the experience of Zi Ling being struck, he had already been prepared in advance. When the lightning powers charged toward him, Lin Chen quickly applied an Unbreakable Vajra Defense Talisman on himself, forming three layers of shields for protection.

The lightning powers, now focused on him, seemed to only strike once; as long as one could withstand a single strike and didn’t step out of the stone chamber, it appeared there wouldn’t be any more lightning strikes in a short time.

Rumble—

Instantly, the lightning strike upon Lin Chen shattered his three protective shields.

Then the lightning power fell upon Lin Chen’s body.

However, by then Lin Chen had already brought Zi Ling to the edge of the stone chamber’s boundary, almost leaving the chamber.

The closer to the stone chamber’s edge, the weaker the purple lightning power became, while the closer to the center, the stronger the lightning power was.

So this lightning power striking Lin Chen wasn’t very strong, and the Unbreakable Vajra Defense Talisman further mitigated some of it.

The purple lightning power falling on Lin Chen still made him shiver, but he didn’t lose his ability to move because of it.

Lin Chen had on him two pieces of Defensive Magical Treasure: the Flowing Light Magic Robe and the Fiery Fire Profound Armor. The previous lightning powers were buffered by these two treasures, so the actual lightning power that fell on Lin Chen’s physical body was not that formidable.

For ordinary Martial Artists, the defensive vestment robes can have spiritual power infused into them, and by activating the hidden scripts on the robes, they can exert the defensive effects of the magical robes.
