Chapter 1020 Life Lightning Quartz (2)
The moment Ace appeared within the emerald lightning sea, his element divergence suddenly broke, and his body became visible again, which greatly astounded him.
'This lightning is clearly far more powerful than eighth realm Qi!' Ace concluded with shining eyes.
"Big bro, the food is running away!" Cyrus suddenly cried in alarm.
'It's really just as the system described it!' Ace's eyes narrowed, and he was about to give chase when all the lightning sea around him suddenly churned.
The dense life energy within the lightning suddenly contained destructive killing intent, and the lightning sea began to change shape. Soon, a ten-headed lighting emerald Wyrm condensed, giving off a world-destroying aura.
'Lightning phantom at late stage eighth realm?' Ace's eyes widened slightly, and he knew it was Life Lightning Quartz's doing. It wanted to buy time to flee or directly kill the intruder with this Wyrm.
But Ace wasn't going to give it a chance; since it could sense him, it was able to lock on him. However, what if it can't sense Ace?
Ace quickly sent Cyrus back into the thief's space and then commanded the system, "Summon the Devil Horn Dark Owl Wings and Devil's Horn!"
After he reached the eighth realm, the summoning time of his two summoning abilities also increased, especially the Devil's Horn ability, which was most useful. Its summoning time was now five whole minutes!
The moment his figure turned ethereal and vanished, he could feel that the Lightning Wyrm's killing intent lifted!
Ace has already locked on the Life Lightning Quartz within the fate map, so, taking advantage of the Wyrm's static state, he quickly chased after it at full speed!
To his astonishment, the Life Lightning Quartz seemed to be moving upward, and its speed suddenly slowed down as it clearly sensed that the intruder had vanished as the Lightning Wyrm was created by it.
Taking full advantage of this, Ace quickly approached it and soon spotted an emerald glowing like a sun!
Ace was finally able to see the true appearance of the Life Lightning Quartz. Around two meters in diameter, the mineral crystal contained a dark green filament inside, which seemed to be the source of dense lightning.
However, what was strange was that in normal quartz, the strip inside the crystal would be still. However, the filament inside this quartz seemed to be slowly moving as it hovered inside it, unlike a small snake. It was simply a very magical and mysterious phenomenon.
The Life Lightning Quartz had come to a complete halt, and this gave Ace a chance to approach it quickly. Despite its highly sensitive nature towards danger, it wasn't able to detect Ace's Devil's Horn form.
But as Ace approached it, he could feel extremely powerful. Lightning wanted to invade his body and mind. However, because of his heavenly punishment, thunder baptism, Ace was able to defend against this lightning.
If it were any other cultivator, even with the lightning element affinity, they would've turned into dying embers!
Even though Ace approached it, capturing it was another matter. Since this Life Lightning Quartz has a spiritual nature, it won't obediently enter the thief's space. In fact, it was the trickiest part, and he knew he had to force it.
But Ace didn't think that just his heavenly Qi was enough. After all, this Life Lightning Quartz was a treasure above the 9th grade. So, he wasn't going to underestimate it.
"Lawless Darkness!"
Ace coldly activated his law authority, and right at this moment, the Life Lightning Quartz was finally able to sense the danger it was in.
But alas, it was already too late. As the eerie darkness surrounded it, not to mention fleeing, it began to tremble while its lightning became chaotic as if it was extremely fearful.
Ace covered it in pitch-black Qi without wasting even a second and then tried to take it inside the thief's space forcibly. He didn't have much time in this state.
Although the Life Lightning Quartz tried to resist, it was nothing against the authority of darkness. Ace even senses powerful lightning entering his body and merging with it. It was the devouring power of darkness!
If he continues, he would be able to annex the life lightning law completely, but his purpose wasn't to devour it. So, the moment it entered the thief's space, Ace quickly canceled the lawless darkness, and to make sure nothing untoward happened, he brought Cyrus out!
The moment Life Lightning Quartz was captured and entered thief's space, something strange happened: the entire ground suddenly shook, and the ten-headed Wyrm down turned into nothingness, and above the lightning clouds over the lightning mountain began to dissipate as well as all the lightning phantoms within the mountain!
Ace knew now was the time to leave before the authorities noticed this sudden change. But before that, he initially headed down where the lightning sea was located, and now it was just a giant hole.
Ace threw the demon's body into his hole and issued a command using the soul words, "Wake up after 10 minutes!"
Done arranging the scapegoat, Ace quickly leaves for his mountain.
After ten minutes, the demon suddenly jolted awakened, and when he sensed the lingering lightning aura as well as the dark surroundings, he was dumbfounded.
"Where am I? I was cultivating in my cultivation chamber. How can I appear here?!" He was shocked as well as spooked and quickly released his martial sense to see if there was some terrible enemy.
But when he found nothing, he was even more bewildered but even more horrid nonetheless. An array disc appeared in his hand, and he activated it.
Soon, his eyes opened wide, "I'm underground!?"
While the demon was getting scared out of his wits, the lightning mountain was now completely peaceful above the ground, and the lightning phenomena above it were now gone.
After half an hour, terrifying figures began to appear above the mountain, and one of them was Vice Principal Jenna!
"What happened to the lightning mountain?" She couldn't help but ask the imperial teachers in a bewildered tone.
The lightning mountain was connected to the protection formation of the entire school, and it was one of the core components to keep the formation active without spending Qi stones on it. These core components were naturally connected to the principal tower, which was the eye of this ancient formation.
So, when the power source suddenly stopped providing power, the entire Principal Tower issued an alarm, and the high-level authorities who lived in the Principal Tower were naturally alerted.
"The natural lightning clouds are gone! Could it be the lightning tower is finally exhausted?" A burly demon hesitantly commented.
He was the most familiar with lightning elements and the lightning mountain out of all of them, and his title was also related to lightning. He was an imperial teacher, Heavy Thunder Sword!
"How could that be? It was perfectly fine the other day." Conner retorted as he stated. He had conducted the test for Leroy just yesterday in this place, and if the lightning clouds had dissipated, he would've noticed it.
"Not only that, but all the lightning beasts are also gone. Even if the natural lightning clouds dissipate, those lightning beasts shouldn't, and this mountain was filled with lightning, but now it's like an empty husk. It's like someone has absorbed all the lightning from the root!" A human imperial teacher solemnly stated.
Jenna frowned even harder as this matter was becoming extremely strange, but at this moment, she suddenly noticed something when her soul sense picked up something.
"Who's there?!" She coldly spoke. Her voice was mild, but it sounded like a thunderclap, and her figure vanished, and she appeared at the foot of the mountain.
The next moment, she waved her slender hand gently, and the entire ground was torn apart, and a figure in a miserable state was captured in her Qi.
"Spare me! I'll do anything, just don't kill me!" A hollered shriek rang like a pig being slaughtered.
Jenna frowned as coldness crept into her eyes, and despite her face hidden behind her mask, her expression was clearly frosty, "Speak, what did you do to the Lightning Mountain!"
"What lightning mountain?" The demon cried in resentment and bewilderment.
At this moment, Heavy Thunder Sword suddenly moved in alarm as he appeared right in front of this demon, his eyes wide open, "Purple Sword, what the hell are you doing here?!"
The demon, who was indeed Purple Sword, also a lightning cultivator, instantly burst into tears!
