Chapter 263: Thunder Valley, Celestial Symbol Tree
The excitement in the heart of the Medicine Elder was something Lin Yan naturally couldn't know. However, Lin Yan also considered this search for the ancient key important. After leaving the cave, everyone hurried into the depths of Thunder Valley.
Thunder Valley was a special region in the Thunder Mountain Range. Deep within these mountains, the peaks intertwined, and the topography was complex. It's said that long ago, lightning struck here, violently splitting the peaks and gradually forming the Thunder Valley that exists today.
In Thunder Valley, due to the presence of lightning, the air was filled with electricity. There were many demon beasts here, but they seemed to have mutated due to the lightning, being faster and with some electricity in their bodies. They were more dangerous than the beasts outside the valley.
After Lin Yan and his group entered Thunder Valley, they encountered many Nirvana-level demon beasts, but for Lin Yan, they were now easy to handle. He could kill them with a single blow, like crushing an ant.
They continued advancing in Thunder Valley, and as they passed through a mountain range, a giant shadow suddenly appeared in front of them.
Roar! A thunderous roar, the shadow rushed towards Lin Yan and the others at great speed, striking them with a palm. The blow resonated loudly, slightly shaking the space.
But Lin Yan only raised an eyebrow and casually punched.
Thunder God's Fist! The fist was swift, accompanied by flashes of blue lightning. Lin Yan's fist enlarged rapidly, from a human hand to a giant hand tens of meters long, directly hitting the shadow in front of him.
Boom! With a punch, the demon beast was pierced in the chest by Lin Yan, and the wall behind it was shattered. The beast didn't have time to scream, and Lin Yan incinerated it with a gray-blue flame.
Lin Yan continued walking as if nothing had happened. But Lin Dong and the others behind him were completely stunned, like statues.
After a moment, they regained their composure and commented to each other, "How many times has Lin Yan instantly killed Nirvana-level beasts?"
"I think it's the fifth time."
"Lin Yan's strength is becoming more terrifying. These Nirvana-level beasts are like ants to him, easy to kill."
After a moment of reflection, they continued following Lin Yan.
After about ten minutes, they arrived at a new area where a barrier of blue lightning appeared.
Mo Ling and the others frowned upon seeing the barrier, knowing that even Nirvana experts would have difficulty crossing it.
...not even a hint of bitterness.
But Mo Ling and the others were still unwilling to give up, deciding to give it a try. However, after several attempts, they ended up being shaken by the lightning each time until their whole bodies convulsed.
"What if we leave it? We just can't get through. Continuing like this will only affect Lin Yan's progress," sighed Mo Ling.
At that moment, Lin Yan waved his hand, and a devouring force suddenly surged from his body, rapidly absorbing all the electrical elements in front of him. He continued forward, simply saying, "Follow me."
Mo Ling quickly followed, but with a look of amazement in his eyes as he followed behind, "That was incredible!"
Lin Dong smiled faintly but said nothing. For him, the lightning at this level no longer had any effect. However, he couldn't simply devour the lightning like Lin Yan.
Quickly, everyone followed Lin Yan and passed through that area.
"Ah... we finally made it! If it weren't for Brother Lin Yan's help, we would probably have been stopped by that lightning net," one of them said in relief.
"It seems our earlier choice was correct."
Lin Yan smiled faintly, "It was just a small effort on my part. Let's keep going."
Mo Ling and the others nodded with a smile.
After passing through the lightning barrier, Lin Yan and the others continued to advance at full speed. After about ten minutes, they arrived at the entrance of an extremely spacious cave.
Ding! Congratulations, host: you have successfully completed the registration in the Stone Room! Reward obtained: one hundred thousand Nirvana pills!
"One hundred thousand Nirvana pills, I guess that's fine," thought Lin Yan.
They continued forward. Upon entering the stone room, a strong scent of medicinal herbs greeted them. It seemed to be a warehouse of medicinal herbs.
Lin Yan used his mental strength to explore, and although he saw many medicinal herbs, his attention was focused on the center of the room, where a small withered yellow tree grew.
"What is that? It's the Celestial Symbol Tree!" exclaimed Lin Dong aloud. Everyone looked towards the Celestial Symbol Tree.
The branches of the Celestial Symbol Tree were full of fine patterns that looked like a masterpiece of nature, natural and magical.
Lin Yan looked at the Celestial Symbol Tree, his eyes shining. This herb was beneficial for him and for Lin Dong. After all, his mental strength had been stuck at the Advanced Symbol Master level for a long time, and maybe he could use it to take the next step in his advancement.
With that in mind, Lin Yan led the group towards the Celestial Symbol Tree. But just as they were about to reach it, a light appeared beneath their feet, creating cracks in the ground. A group of figures blocked their path.
Among those figures, the one at the front sneered coldly, "Haha, thanks for leading us here, but this object is not something you can lay your hands on."
"You have three breaths to leave this place, otherwise, you will die."
Lin Dong's and the others' faces instantly turned grim.
As for Lin Yan, a gray-blue flame began to appear in the palm of his hand.
