Chapter 1060: Chapter 1063: Thunder and Lightning Forbidden Area_1 Chapter 1060: Chapter 1063: Thunder and Lightning Forbidden Area_1 The eighteen paths before him led to different Fierce Beast Areas, all of which were inhabited by First-level Ferocious Beasts.

Lin Zhen looked around and noticed that Fierce Fire Ancestor and his group were not waiting here.

Perhaps to the other Lower Gods, waiting for Lin Zhen here was a loss of dignity.

With no one to interfere, Lin Zhen headed straight for the seventeenth path.

This pathway led to the Thunderstorm Area.

The Thunderstorm Area was home to lightning attribute fierce beasts, the main first-level ferocious beasts were Thunder Serpents and Thunder Swallows.

Lightning attributes were quite fierce, so most martial artists were wary of provoking them.

…

They could achieve better results for the same amount of effort in other areas, so not many people ventured here.

This made it a suitable place for Lin Zhen to practice.

Upon entering this path, after navigating a few winding roads, Lin Zhen left the safe area.

Beyond the safe zone, battles were left unchecked.

Upon passing the last entrance, his view suddenly opened up.

From the narrow entrance, he stepped into a whole new world.

Before him lay a vast wasteland that seemed infinite.

Dark clouds densely covered the sky.

Occasionally, lightning would light up the pitch-black night sky.

In the expansive cloud layer, with the help of the lightning, some fierce beasts could be seen tumbling within the clouds.

The Thunder Swallow was a bird about a meter long, shrouded in a Sheen of thunder.

Its hook-like beak made it look ferocious as they flew about in flocks.

Occasionally, in some corners, Lin Zhen would spot a few martial artists defending a small area, struggling to hunt fierce beasts.

The martial artists had to rely heavily on their surroundings and chose to hunt Thunder Swallows individually.

They wouldn’t dare venture into the central regions to hunt packs of Thunder Swallows or the even more formidable Thunder Serpents.

Compared to Thunder Swallows, Thunder Serpents were much larger, ranging from several meters to tens of meters in length, but their numbers were fewer.

Looking at this apocalyptic place, Lin Zhen couldn’t help but marvel.

Earth Core Purgatory, nature’s masterpiece, truly a world wonder.

However, now wasn’t the time for admiration.

Lin Zhen reached for his spear nicknamed Two-headed Snake.

Clouds formed under his feet, Thundercloud appeared, and Lin Zhen headed straight for the center of the thunderstorm area.

“Caw, caw~~!!”

A Thunder Swallow spotted Lin Zhen and immediately flapped its wings and charged towards him.

As it dived, it folded its wings, speeding up like a missile.

The Thunder Swallow’s speed was at least a thousand times the speed of sound!

Under the massive gravitational pull of the Witch Star, everyone’s speed greatly reduced.

Even Lin Zhen couldn’t reach sub-light speed without activating his Divine Domain.

A thousand times the speed of sound was still quite fast.

But seeing it was his first encounter with a Fierce Beast, Lin Zhen wasn’t going to take any chances.

He stopped his Thundercloud and prepared to face the beast.

As the Thunder Swallow was poised to charge into him, the Thundercloud suddenly shifted to the left.

Lin Zhen pointed his spear and struck diagonally.

Lin Zhen had already grasped the essence of the Spear Art.

One well-executed attack could be enough for an average person to comprehend in one lifetime.

With such a move, he should be able to easily kill a Thunder Swallow at Hall of Fame Level.

However, to his complete surprise, the Thunder Swallow swerved and accelerated to evade Lin Zhen’s attack just as it was about to strike.

Not only did it avoid his spear, it also charged towards Lin Zhen’s chest.

Wide-eyed, Lin Zhen quickly moved his spear horizontally to block the Thunder Swallow’s direct line of attack.

This time the Thunder Swallow had no way to evade.

With a fierce collision, it hit Lin Zhen’s spearhead!

Lin Zhen’s current Immortal Dominant Body was not only powerful but also stable.

The impact of the Thunder Swallow didn’t cause him to falter, but the Swallow’s head was severely wounded!

At the brink of death, the Thunder Swallow opened its mouth and shot a bolt of lightning.

The lightning struck Lin Zhen’s chest, causing a strange numbness.

“It’s a good thing that I’m treading on a Thundercloud; it helps absorb the lightning.

A spark of this level is well within my tolerance range,” He thought.

After a brief encounter, Lin Zhen had a better understanding of the Thunder Swallow’s strength.

It was as strong as the information described, possessing Hall of Fame Level strength.

However, it had an advantage in speed and had the ability to launch lightning attacks.

This level of lightning could hardly harm Lin Zhen, which greatly soothed his mind.

With a swish of his spear, he extracted a crystal nucleus from the Swallow’s head.

This crystal nucleus would sell for about fifty pieces.

To Lin Zhen, who barely had a few hundred pieces left on him, it was quite a fortune.

He discarded the corpse, pointed his spear at the sky, and, like a lightning rod, it began to attract a series of lightning strikes.

The lightning fell on Lin Zhen’s body and dispersed over the Thundercloud, brightening the cloud under his feet.

This caused quite a commotion, attracting the attention of several Thunder Swallows.

About seven or eight of them screeched and charged towards Lin Zhen.

Having learned from his encounter with the first Thunder Swallow, Lin Zhen took a much more cautious approach this time.

He activated his Divine Domain immediately, enhancing all his abilities.

He thrust his spear into the sky repeatedly, killing Thunder Swallows.

This time, he was much more careful with every thrust, adding more variations to each attack.

These poses no difficulty to Lin Zhen, ensuring that he wouldn’t give the Thunder Swallows another opportunity to charge into him.

He could handle being charged at once or twice, but if more Thunder Swallows came swooping in, a single misstep could leave him in a flurry of attacks and disrupt his rhythm, leading to unpredictable situations.

Once he got serious, the Hall of Fame level Thunder Swallows posed no threat to him.

One stab, one swallow.

The Thunder Swallow carcasses rained down one after another.

For every stab, he could extract a crystal nucleus, the earning speed was staggering.

After killing dozens of Thunder Swallows continuously, the surrounding Thunder Swallows suddenly dispersed.

Lin Zhen looked up to see a twenty-meter-long Thunder Serpent slithering towards him from the sky.

Thunder Serpents were predators, the natural enemies of Thunder Swallows.

It was no wonder the Swallows were fleeing.

“A Thunder Serpent, having similar strength to an early-stage Lower God.” Lin Zhen thought.

Lin Zhen tread the Thundercloud and began to dance in circles with the Thunder Serpent.

Given his current strength, killing a Thunder Serpent wouldn’t be as straightforward as it was with the Thunder Swallow.

He had to tread carefully.

The Thunder Serpent drew near Lin Zhen and coiled itself, erecting its head and continually circling him.

With a few flicks of its fiery-red tongue, as soon as Lin Zhen slowed down slightly, the Thunder Serpent spat out a series of lightning bolts.

Not ordinary lightning bolts, but those generated directly from the natural heavenly thunder!

The lightning here was incredibly hard to dodge because it wasn’t affected by gravity and could still reach the speed of light, but Lin Zhen couldn’t move at the speed of light himself.

Except for evading the first bolt with early anticipation, the subsequent lightning bolts followed one after the other and hit Lin Zhen directly.

His hair stood erect as if it had exploded.

Some of his muscles began to twitch involuntarily, a side effect of being numbed by the lightning.

Lin Zhen’s comprehension of the Law of Lightning didn’t allow him to be completely immune to this level of heavenly thunder.

Seeing that the lightning was effective, the Thunder Serpent roared and shot another series of heavenly thunderbolts while also opening its wide mouth to pounce on Lin Zhen!

Lin Zhen remained calm.
